Chapter 65: Promotion and Response
Luyongchang circled around Guxi, continuously talking about the advantages of Darkwind Academy, clearly wanting Guxi to stay at Darkwind Academy, even if it was just as a graduate student.
However, Guxi was unwilling to do so at this time.
When Luyongchang stopped, Guxi directly said, "Dean, I am a student who walked out from Darkwind. I originally belonged to Darkwind Academy. No matter where I go in the future, I will always demand myself as a student of Darkwind Academy."
"Good, truly a good student of Darkwind. Who was it again? Right, Manxuebo, prepare for a graduation and award ceremony. We need to publicize that our Darkwind has produced a dragon."
Luyongchang pointed at the necromancer from earlier and directly gave the order.
At this moment, the necromancer's face was stiff, "Dean, that..."
"What's wrong, can't it be done?"
"No, it's just that most of the students from this batch have already joined various guilds. Inviting them back for the ceremony and rearranging the rankings will be very troublesome."
"What's so troublesome about it? Just tell them we have three divine skills this time and ask if they want to switch people."
Luyongchang said domineeringly.
At this time, Guxi quickly stepped forward, "Dean, there's no need for such trouble. I've been delayed coming out. It's normal for my classmates to be eager to get their diplomas and not wait for me.
However, the comrades of the Rising Sun Guild were willing to wait for me, which I acknowledge. Therefore, I don't want to switch guilds. Dean, just help me adjust the ranking and give me the reward.
When it's time for external promotion, I think with my achievements, getting the top position shouldn't be a problem."
"Of course, if the three divine skills can't make you the top, then what can? Rest assured, this year's top position is yours.
You go get this year's top reward..."
Pointing at Manxuebo, Luyongchang thought for a moment, "This year's top reward has already been given out, right? Now taking it back wouldn't be appropriate, but the top reward can't be lower than the second place.
So, go get a reward that's one level higher than the top reward that was given out. Also, have the administration bring over the top battle flag and championship ring. The previously given ones are canceled.
Notify all the guilds that the ranking of the students they took will be pushed back by one.
We will exclusively give..."
Guxi knew the dean still didn't recognize him, so he immediately introduced himself, "My name is Guxi."
"Guxi, good name. We can promote it as Necromancer... Necromancer's Breath, yes, Necromancer's Breath."
Luyongchang was pleased with his idea, "That's it. I will arrange for the administration to conduct a special promotion. You..."
At this point, Luyongchang paused again, turning his gaze to Lixinghui, "By the way, your Rising Sun Guild will also participate. You have struck it big this time."
"Not at all, not at all, it's our good fortune."
Guxi and his two companions were politely smiling there, while Manxuebo was sweating profusely.
He was directly stuck by this matter now.
Where was he going to find a reward one level higher than the previous top reward?
You have to know that the previous top reward was partially provided by the vice president of the Iron Ghost Claw Guild.
It was only then that the original reward for the top position was given to the second place, allowing the vice president's son to get the greatest benefit.
Now, where was he going to find a higher-level reward?
Not to mention, he also had to notify the vice president that his carefully planned efforts over several months, which finally made his son the top position, only for a month, and now he was told, sorry, your son's ranking was wrong, he is only the second place.
There was no need to look; Manxuebo could imagine the face of that vice president.
But what else could he do if he didn't go?
Darkwind Academy was going to use Guxi for promotion. If one of the three divine skills wasn't the top position, but instead, a later skill took the top position, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of all necromancers?
Once it's promoted, would there still be a need for Darkwind Academy to exist?
Manxuebo was quite helpless.
At this moment, Luyongchang looked at Manxuebo again, "What are you still doing here?"
"Oh, I wanted to ask if Guxi has any specific needs for the rewards?"
"Something useful for Death City. Oh, besides the normal rewards, I also want an invisibility cloak." Guxi thought for a moment and decisively stated his demand.
"Good choice. You have obtained the skill of Death City, you should strengthen Death City. And the invisibility cloak can protect you on the battlefield. It's a very good choice. Didn't you hear? Hurry up and do it."
Luyongchang gave Manxuebo a glare and went back to praising Guxi.
Seeing Luyongchang ignoring him, Manxuebo gritted his teeth and quickly retreated.
Of course, he didn't go looking for suitable rewards, but to notify the vice president of Iron Ghost Claw.
Guxi didn't care much about this. What he wanted was actually his own portion of the rewards and the top battle flag and championship ring issued by the academy.
These two items were not only proofs of identity but also had unique effects, representing the status and potential of a student upon graduation.
It could be said that if you went out wearing a championship ring, people would look at you with respect.
Guxi was very clear about the significance of being the top. If it was before, without obtaining one of the three divine skills, he definitely wouldn't have insisted on anything.
But after obtaining one of the three divine skills, Guxi had different ambitions in his heart. He was determined to take the top position at Darkwind Academy.
Manxuebo went out for nearly three hours. By the time the administration of Darkwind Academy had already set up the graduation and award ceremony, he hurried back.
At this time, a slight smile appeared on Manxuebo's face.
The look in his eyes towards Guxi had also changed. Now, there was a look of pity in his eyes.
"Manxuebo, where did you go?"
"Dean, I was doing something for the academy. Look, since the academy produced such a great student, we definitely need to give good rewards. When promoting it, we can say that the academy also contributed significantly to Guxi's achievements, right?
So, I brought some good items.
This is the invisibility cloak that Guxi requested, blue quality. Although it has some special requirements, its effect is definitely the best among blue quality items.
Additionally, since Guxi mastered one of the three divine skills, Death City, I changed the key reward. Originally, a successful necromancer would be rewarded with a combat squad.
Since Guxi has both the three divine skills and the top position, I brought a piece of fusion land. Once integrated into Death City, it can directly add a large plot, three medium plots, and seven small plots.
This is definitely something that enhances the level of Death City."
