Chapter 462 - Pulling Strings
Shen Ling frowned at their conversation. Even if they did not like her, she was still the next family head.
However, Shen Yanxiao paid them no heed. She looked at Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei with a smile and remained silent as if she had heard nothing.
A short while later, they had arrived at the Magus Division’s gate. Shen Jiayi was excited to finally see the division that she was about to enroll in.
Shen Yue puffed his chest in pride. Shen Jiayi’s advancement had boosted his ego, so how could he not be proud?
It was already late in the afternoon, so there were not many students in the Magus Division. However, a few students went past them in a rush.
Shen Yue went up to a student with the Magus Division’s badge and asked with a smile, “May I know where is your headmaster’s office?”
The student stared at the lavish Shen Yue and furrowed his eyebrows before he pointed to a direction in annoyance.
The arrogant Shen Yue took the lead and walked in front of the rest of the party.
That student was somewhat speechless. Shen Yue had an irritating expression on his face, and just as the student was about to cuss him discreetly, he caught a glimpse of someone familiar in that group.
“Isn’t that Shen Jue?” Shen Jue had a good relationship with Qi Xia, and everyone in the division knew about their friendship. The student felt even gloomier. Why did that man ask for directions when he had Shen Jue with them?
When they arrived at the division head’s office, Shen Yue tidied his attire and knocked on the door.
“Please come in.” A somewhat aged voice sounded from behind the door.
Then Shen Yue pushed the door open and entered the room.
Inside the spacious office, an old man with a white beard sat behind a table.
“You must be the Magus Division’s head, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Shen Yue from the Vermilion Bird family and this is my daughter, Shen Jiayi. She had been in the Magic Division, and she had just broken through to the sixth rank not too long ago. She had passed the Magus Division’s test too. I have brought her here for her enrollment.” Even while Shen Yue said all that with a smile, he did not forget to mention his identity.
The headmaster glanced at Shen Yue before he turned his attention toward Shen Jiayi.
“Are you Shen Jiayi? You must be very talented to have broken through to the sixth rank at the age of fourteen,” the division’s head said with a smile.
When Shen Jiayi heard his compliments, she immediately smiled. Then she acted like a good student and stood forward to greet him, “Nice to meet you, headmaster!”
The headmaster smiled and nodded at her.
The Saint Laurent Academy only enrolled students twice a year. Still, students from their affiliated Magic and Battle Aura Division were an exception as they could enter the respective divisions at any time when they were ready.
“I have gone through your particulars. However, as you have arrived too late, we will have to put you in the red class.”
“Red class?” Shen Jiayi asked the headmaster in doubt.
The Magus Division’s head smiled and answered, “In the academy, all the levels in a single division are divided into seven classes, and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The red class has the lowest rank, while the purple class ranked the highest. A student’s robe would also match their allocated class. For example, this student standing beside you is from the Herbalist Division, and his purple robe represented his status as a student from the purple class.”
The headmaster pointed toward Shen Yanxiao who had acted as if she was a bystander while she was with them.
His casual mention of Shen Yanxiao had caused the faces of Shen Yue and his children to ashen almost immediately.
The trio looked at Shen Yanxiao in disbelief as they had not noticed the color of her robe.
