CHAPTER 86 - SPECIAL ADMISSION
Translated by Luxican

The trio of the Phoenix team all had only one thought in their mind at this point, Yun Sheng's summoned beast is just too fierce, ah!
The next time anyone told them that crying isn't a combat skill, they will make that person cry right away!
Although this had been a bit abrupt, the small thing in front of them had at least become a summoner with the certification of the Summoner Temple.
They had entered through the main entrance, but now they slipped through the backdoor to make sure no one would realize that a new summoner had appeared in the Great Zhou Empire.
For the other countries on the continent, especially the Future Peng Empire which produced a lot of summoners, one new summoner might not be a big deal, but a six-year-old summoner who could also refine top quality medicines, would certainly have an amazing future.
Before the news spread and the other forces in Yujing City acted, they needed to quickly pull Yun Sheng into their own mercenary team.
But Yun Sheng's age was a problem, she was only six and a half years old, if this age was reported in the Mercenary Union, the other mercenaries wouldn't even be able to laugh at them.
Feng Kuo, Wen Renhuo and Mu Nan Yan exchanged looks silently, hoping to find a solution.
In the end, it was their leader, Feng Kuo, who made the decision. Trying to put on what he considered to be the kindest face in his life, and lowered his bear-like body. "Small thing, we lack a summoner in our mercenary squad, do you want to join our group?"
Feng Kuo didn't know that at this moment, in Wen Renhuo and Mu Nan Yan's eyes their leader looked like a perverted weirdo, offering a lollipop to abduct a little loli.
"Captain Feng, I'm sorry, I have to help out at the medicine hall, I also plan to enter the Royal Magic Academy next year to receive systematic magical studies, so I can't join your mercenary team," Yun Sheng politely declined Feng Kuo's invitation.
On the way to the Summoner Temple, Wen Renhuo had made it clear to Yun Sheng that he was willing to purchase Yun Sheng's medicine at three times the price in the future, which meant that Yun Sheng's basic living expenses in Yujing City and even her tuition fees for the Magic Academy were basically taken care of!
Despite having become a summoner, Yun Sheng still wished to go further in magic, because only with enough magic power could she break through a summoner rank.
"Royal Magic Academy? What's so great about that place, it's just a place where the punching bags gather. If you want to learn magic, just look for me and Mu Nan Yan directly," Feng Kuo said urgently. He was sweating profusely, it was already hard for them to come by a summoner, but now the other party is unwilling to join their mercenary squad.
"Kuo, I don't agree with teaching her our spells, all our spells are...spells for killing," Mu Nan Yan looked like a strong man, but her mind was unusually delicate, she felt that Yun Sheng was indeed a bit too young to join their mercenary team, let alone take part in a grade-up mission.
In the Royal Magic Academy, although it wasn't possible to learn advanced magic, it was indeed the best place to learn the basic magic.
"Kuo, even though I don't want to admit it, this time I also think that Mu Nan Yan is right," even Wen Renhuo was of the same opinion of Mu Nan Yan.
They hadn't known each other for long , but Yun Sheng was very young and yet very sensible, which gave them the urge to pamper her like their own little sister.
Yun Sheng's medicine refining ability was first-class, she was more suitable for saving people than killing them, they felt that being a mercenary didn't fit this little girl in front of them.
Yun Sheng listened to the earnest words of the two, and a change quietly occurred in her heart, these few people in front of her knew her less than a day, but they were still worried about her, this truly surprised her.
"But if she doesn't join, where would we find another summoner? Are we just going to stay as a C-grade mercenary squad forever?" Feng Kuo also understood that Yun Sheng was a bit too young, but he couldn't help it.
"Captain Kuo, I can't be your official member, but I can be your stand-in team member, and I promise you, after I learn primary magic at the Royal Magic Academy, I can temporarily act as a team member as long as you need me to," Yun Sheng could see that the people in front of her are in a difficult position.
She was a person who pays back gratitude and revenge, and she would certainly remember the good deeds of the Phoenix mercenary team.
While the three listened, they felt that Yun Sheng's words were feasible.
She didn't need to accompany them on their missions, as long as she participated in the final mission of the C-to-B-grade assessment.
"That's a good idea. Small thing, you have been a great help to the Phoenix mercenary team. Since that is the case, we should return the favor. How about that, let's let the captain recommend you to the Royal Magic Academy," said Wen Renhuo, who quite likes this clever and sensible little girl.
***
Yun Sheng only knew that in order to join the Royal Magic Academy, one had to hurry and join every spring, but there was another condition she didn't know.
The Royal Magic Academy wasn't open for all children to attend, only the children of nobles and rich families could enter.
If the previous conditions weren't met, then there was only one way left, and that was the special admission.
Special admission, as the name implied, was for students with special skills or background.
And Feng Kuo just so happened to be able to open that way. Allowing Yun Sheng to enter the Royal Magic Academy under the name of special admission. As for the reason, it was because Feng Kuo himself was a lecturer at the Royal Magic Academy.
"No need to be surprised, the teachers of the Magic Academy are hired from the outside, and I was also hired over to act as a lecturer for the Fighting Department," Feng Kuo did as he said, and used this privilege without batting an eyelid. So, Yun Sheng was directly brought to the Royal Magic Academy.
Yun Sheng also didn't expect to join the Royal Magic Academy so soon.
Feng Kuo thought that Yun Sheng would be very slow on her two short legs, so he directly put Yun Sheng on his shoulders and walked towards the enrollment office of the Royal Magic Academy, telling her the layout of the academy as they walked.
The Royal Magic Academy was a Magic Academy founded by the previous Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, and was the first step to change the tradition of few and bad-educated magicians and the emphasis on martial arts in the Great Zhou Empire, that had reigned since many years.
But the establishment of the Magic Academy hadn't really changed the current situation of the Great Zhou Empire. The Royal Magic Academy is the only intermediate Magic Academy of the country.
It neither had any outstanding results in the Magic Fighting competitions nor in the innovation of magic potions, so the Royal Magic Academy had now often been called a trash academy.
That's why, when Feng Kuo heard Yun Sheng say that she wanted to join the Royal Magic Academy, he had been disdainful. If not for the vanity of his family, he wouldn't have bothered to teach at the Royal Magic Academy.
T/N: Of course he is a lecturer at the Royal Magic Academy!
