Chapter 64: Gu Xi's Request

"Your grades are good, but the award ceremony and graduation ceremony ended a month ago. I can't have everyone come back and hold the ceremony again, can I?

That's not possible, as everyone has already gone to various guilds for internships, and some have even entered new game worlds.

Calling them back now is unrealistic, so just let it go. Take your reward and leave."

Seeing the concerned look on this necromancer's face, Gu Xi's expression turned grim.

"What, are you trying to take away what I rightfully earned?"

"No, I'm just saying there's no way to handle this. We can't pull all the students back, right?"

While explaining, a hint of smugness flashed in the necromancer's eyes.

He had a reason for this approach.

As this year's graduating class mentor, he was well aware of the situation among the graduates.

The top graduate this year was the son of the vice president of the third guild in White Training City. To secure this position for his son, considerable efforts had been made.

Of course, the vice president had also reached certain agreements with the Darkwind Academy, enhancing the top graduate's reward.

It can be said that this year's top reward was the best in fifty years at Darkwind Academy, and the top graduate was signed as the number one pick by the third guild in the city, the Steel Ghost Claw Group.

Having them come back to do it all over again would be a slap in the face to the Steel Ghost Claw Group.

So, this necromancer quickly thought of this excuse.

And he was quite pleased with his idea, planning to boast to the deputy leader of the Steel Ghost Claw Group later, hoping to gain some benefits from him.

Although Gu Xi didn't know the necromancer's thoughts, he understood that if he didn't fight for it, it would truly be gone.

"You can't call everyone back; I understand that. But you can't give me less than what I deserve."

"I understand. The employment reward is prepared and over there, you can take it."

Seeing how agreeable Gu Xi was, the necromancer casually pointed to the other side of the White Disaster Trial Hall, where the graduation rewards for those who completed the employment trial were placed.

Gu Xi didn't even look that way. Instead, he took a step forward, and the city gate behind him began to solidify.

"I'm saying, not a single one of my things can be missing."

"What do you mean? Don't think that just because you got one of the Three Divine Skills, you can be arrogant. Let me tell you, only living geniuses are geniuses. If you're dead, you're nothing."

Hearing this, Gu Xi laughed. "Teacher, that kind of talk might work with other professions, but we are necromancers. Even if I die, I am still a necromancer."

The necromancer felt embarrassed. The advantage of being a necromancer is that even if you die, you can turn into a death mage, a skeleton mage, or even a corpse witch or lich.

They could still fight for another five hundred years.

If Gu Xi held a grudge over this, it would certainly be troublesome.

"What do you want? Calling the students back is impossible. They're already interning, and our Darkwind Academy doesn't have the clout to make all the guilds release the students again."

The necromancer firmly said, though it was clear his words lacked the previous vigor.

He was feeling the pressure from Gu Xi.

"I don't need those useless things. I'll get straight to the point. See if you can do it. If you can, then this matter is settled. If not, I don't believe I can't find a place to reason with the city gate of Death City open."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, the necromancer was finally scared.

He knew very well the status of the Three Divine Skills among necromancers.

If Gu Xi showcased this to the public, it would blow up. The reputation of Darkwind Academy would be dragged through the mud and trampled on repeatedly.

Regardless of any agreement between the academy and Gu Xi, he wouldn't get anything good out of it.

"Student, I've explained clearly..."

The necromancer still wanted to struggle, hoping to persuade Gu Xi.

"If you can't make the decision, find someone who can." Gu Xi interrupted him, turning to Li Xinghui, "Comrade, can you help me contact the academy's headmaster?"

Li Xinghui had been watching the scene unfold. He didn't expect to end up with a top student when he thought he had picked up a worthless one.

This was a big win.

Some things didn't need to be asked. He could make the decision himself.

"Don't worry, for calling me 'comrade,' the Radiant Sunlight Guild will handle this."

Saying this, several crows emitting a blue glow appeared behind Li Xinghui. He whispered a few words to them, and they quickly flew away.

After completing this, Li Xinghui proudly said to Gu Xi, "These are Storm Ravens, internal messengers of the guild. When you join, you'll be given a few too."

Gu Xi smiled without saying anything, just keeping a close eye on the necromancer's every move.

He hadn't gotten what he wanted yet and couldn't afford to show weakness.

Soon, the main door of the White Disaster Trial Hall was pushed open.

A luxurious-looking necromancer strode in.

He carried a magic staff made of white jade bone, and as he walked, green liquid could be seen flowing under his magic robe.

Gu Xi had seen him before. He was Lu Yongchang, the headmaster of Darkwind Academy, a level 15 necromancer.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Lu Yongchang loudly said, "I heard our academy has produced a dragon? Where is he? Oh, this is the city of death. You just took the graduation trial, right?

A level 3 necromancer?

Hahaha, indeed, a dragon. Our Darkwind Academy will finally be famous worldwide.

So, have you joined a guild? If not, how about pushing that guild aside and staying in the academy for a couple more years?"

Seeing Lu Yongchang's enthusiastic face, Gu Xi helplessly looked at Li Xinghui.

Li Xinghui smiled at Gu Xi, saying, "I told the headmaster that we had a big shot in this graduation trial. If he wanted to promote Darkwind Academy, he had to come quickly. Otherwise, once I take you away, he won't get the chance to advertise."

Hearing this, Li Xinghui winked at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi immediately understood Li Xinghui's meaning. If Li Xinghui had reported everything here, Lu Yongchang wouldn't have come so quickly.

Instead, by making it seem beneficial to Darkwind Academy, Lu Yongchang rushed over like the wind.
