Chen Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.
He pressed the answer button.
"Hello, is this student Chen Ran?"
A voice came through the phone.
Judging by the voice alone, it was likely a young man.
And starting with "student"...
It was probably from one of the Knight Academies.
The three major Knight Academies?
Chen Ran guessed.
Before the scores for the written and martial exams were released, the ones who would start recruiting immediately were likely those three major Knight Academies.
Other schools wouldn't have the qualifications yet.
The three Knight Academies in Shenjing held a transcendent status.
It wasn't strange for them to have this special treatment.
Of course, it was also possible there were other schools.
After all, when Shenjing compiled the rankings, there were many people. If someone was careless and leaked the explosive inside information, then other Knight Academies would naturally flock over like cats smelling fish.
They would naturally seize the opportunity to openly compete for students with the three major Knight Academies.
Even if they knew the chances were slim, they would still want to try.
People always had dreams.
Knight Academies were no exception!
However, Chen Ran felt the probability of this situation was very low.
After all, everyone had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
There had been instances of breaches of contract before.
And later...
It was not something to be told to outsiders.
"I am."
Chen Ran replied.
"Hello, student Chen Ran, I am a recruitment teacher stationed in Jiudu for the Great Xia Knight Academy. My name is Xia He, and on behalf of the Great Xia Knight Academy, I invite you to join."
The person got straight to the point.
Great Xia Knight Academy?
Chen Ran was taken aback.
As soon as he turned on his phone, the call came in. It seemed they had been paying attention.
And, according to Nannan, quite a few people had come at that time.
Chen Ran didn't agree immediately.
Instead, he said tactfully:
"I'm sorry, Teacher Xia, can I think about it?"
Judging by the current situation.
Many people must have come.
And the Great Xia Knight Academy was just one of them.
Chen Ran's choices would be numerous.
He needed to stand tall now.
He absolutely could not put all his eggs in one basket.
Moreover, it wasn't him begging for favors now, but others who needed him.
The effect was naturally different.
Even though he had set his sights on Longhu Knight Academy from the beginning after the martial exam, he was now a hot commodity and needed to be more reserved to secure more benefits for himself.
Overall, this was only human nature.
In fact, Longhu Knight Academy was indeed the optimal solution after Chen Ran analyzed the characteristics of the three major academies, but it was not the only one. The other two Knight Academies were not to be underestimated.
Fifty thousand points in the martial exam.
Among the new knights, for the past and future fifty years, this was unprecedented and unparalleled.
Special individuals deserved special treatment.
Chen Ran needed freedom...
Therefore.
Even the Great Xia and Shenjing Knight Academies would offer certain conveniences to draw him into their ranks.
After all, to hand Chen Ran over without any competition or struggle would be an act of aiding the enemy, wouldn't it?
Special talents should be treated in a special way.
"Is that so..." Xia He felt a bit regretful. For most people, hearing the invitation from Great Xia Knight Academy would be enough, and they would agree without any further discussion. But Chen Ran said he needed to consider it...
He definitely knew his current situation.
Hence, he felt emboldened.
If an ordinary person dared to do this, Xia He would probably blacklist Chen Ran without a second word.
But Chen Ran was different.
When he was given the recruitment task, the approximate college entrance examination scores of Chen Ran were vaguely revealed.
Both the written and martial exams, he was the top scorer!
The number one in the country!
And it was rumored that his martial exam scores were even more terrifying than Lei Ming's last year.
As long as Chen Ran joined the Great Xia Knight Academy.
They would be one step closer to the position of 'Leader'.
The three major Knight Academies were all top knight academies in the Great Xia Kingdom.
They were also sacred places that countless people dreamed of.
But they were not united against a common enemy.
When dealing with outsiders like monsters, they were united, but internally... they frequently competed for resources. The outside world also often compared them, and they had been competing for the top position for a long time.
To become No. 1, competing for high-quality students was a very important aspect.
Chen Ran's boldness, Xia He actually felt it was a personality trait!
He took a deep breath.
Organizing his thoughts, Xia He was quite concerned about whether Chen Ran would choose Great Xia Knight Academy. He knew that if he could successfully recruit Chen Ran, it would be one of his achievements. The Great Xia Knight Academy was never an organization that abandoned people after they served their purpose.
As long as he succeeded, his promotion would be a certainty.
He slowly spoke, "Is student Chen Ran at home now?"
"Just returned from an exploration."
Chen Ran replied.
Mm...
Just returned from exploring another world.
Of course, Chen Ran didn't say the latter part.
No one would believe him if he did.
"As expected of student Chen Ran, truly remarkable."
Xia He praised.
Then he continued, "If student Chen Ran is at home, would you mind if I pay you a visit? Some matters are not clear over the phone and can be discussed in person."
His tone was not overly arrogant.
If he acted too proud.
Chen Ran would directly dismiss him.
Where would he go to cry then?
At that time.
Being scolded by his superiors would be a minor issue. If they knew it was his fault, he might be directly fired by the Great Xia Knight Academy. Losing his job would be the biggest blow to him!
"No problem."
Chen Ran nodded.
He didn't refuse this matter. After all, he had kept them waiting for several days in the Jia Dou world. It would be good to finalize things now.
After dealing with this matter.
He would wait for the next time he time-traveled.
He didn't know if any unforeseen events would occur...
"That's great!"
Xia He said with a smile and hung up the phone.
He was in a very good mood.
He seemed to already see the day of his "success and fame."
From Chen Ran's words.
The other two major academies hadn't contacted him yet.
He had to be the first.
He immediately tidied up after hanging up the phone and hurried away from the Great Xia Knight Academy's liaison office in Jiudu, heading towards Chen Ran's home.
They had already inquired about Chen Ran's home address from his alma mater, Jiudu High School.
Principal Li's head was buzzing.
Ever since Chen Ran confessed to the school beauty.
And awakened the Decade Driver, he felt that Chen Ran was no ordinary person.
Coupled with his personal admiration for Chen Ran.
He had specifically befriended Chen Ran.
But from the current situation.
The three major Knight Academies were all coming for Chen Ran.
His future was beyond imagination!
