Versatile Mage: Demon Mage

Chapter 498 The End of Night
As more and more people gathered at the venue, the atmosphere of the anniversary party became increasingly heated, and many reporters were busy shooting footage.

Mingzhu Academy is one of the best magic universities in the country. It achieved amazing results in the last World Academy Competition, and Mingzhu Academy played a big role in it.

This made the already well-known Mingzhu Academy suddenly become the target of fanatical pursuit by magic college entrance examination candidates across the country.

Among them, of course, there is a monstrous and eccentric student like Wang Teng, who is undoubtedly the most important learning benchmark!
Click, click, click, click, click…

Wang Teng faced the endless camera shots with a smile. His arrival caused the reporters to swarm over like sharks smelling something.

Even Ding Yumian who was standing next to her became the focus of their attention.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, a cough sounded from the speakers, and the reporters seemed to have received a hint and left reluctantly.

"Welcome all the guests, friends, teachers, students, and former students of Pearl Academy. Welcome everyone!"

"As the dean, on behalf of all teachers and students, I would like to thank you all for participating in this school celebration event of Pearl Academy!"

"Since its establishment, our school has always adhered to the principle of fair competition, with the goal of cultivating excellent practical mages and cultivating qualified talents for society!"

"On the occasion of the school's anniversary..."

On the stage, Dean Xiao constantly expounded on the philosophy and management of Mingzhu Academy, as well as the various achievements it has made in recent years.

It took him more than an hour to explain his ideas and the results of the school's training.

Next, representative teachers from each major department gave speeches, focusing on the advantages of their departments and specific training results.

Professors from various major universities will also take the stage to give speeches on the achievements and experiences of the university’s external exchanges, as well as many presentations on magic theories.

These are all specific explanations of the heritage and connotation of Mingzhu Academy, reflecting its superiority and showing its excellent side to the world.

As for the role, it is naturally to attract more outstanding students to apply for Mingzhu Academy and enhance the domestic influence of Mingzhu Academy.

Because if you don't talk about it or promote it, no one will know whether you are excellent or not, and what makes you excellent? These all need to be reflected in specific deeds.

For example, outstanding graduates from previous years return to school to participate in the anniversary party. Their presence and arrival itself is a business card of Mingzhu University.

This is the core role of the school anniversary party, and it is also an excellent communication platform.

Almost all major forces are very interested in this kind of activity because they can recruit outstanding graduates to supplement new forces.

There are also those who have already gone out and achieved extraordinary success, and only on this kind of platform can they have the opportunity to talk.

The speech lasted until about six in the evening, and he was just spouting useful information the whole time.

This period of time is purely for Mingzhu Academy to showcase itself.

"Ahem~ Thank you all for your support and attention. This is the end of today's speech."

"Then there will be a one-hour break, and then there will be a magic talent show by the school's elite students!"

Wei Ming came on stage as the final host and announced the successful conclusion of the school anniversary party.

The remaining second half is the stage for major forces and a stage for students to showcase their talents.

One side wants to recruit outstanding talents, the other side tries to get a better job. It can be said to be a two-way effort.

This is the true side of the popular mages. Without sufficient background and resources, they can only rely on this kind of activities to show themselves.

People who are truly gifted have already found a way out, and they generally don't lack opportunities.

After rounds of screening, outstanding people will naturally stand out, and those who just want to get by can only wait for graduation.

"Wang Teng, let's get together!" Dean Xiao came over as soon as Director Wei announced the end of his speech. Behind him were several old professors wearing glasses, with strong interest in their eyes, as if they were looking at a peerless beauty.

"The dean personally invited me. How dare I not give you face?" Wang Teng stood up and said half-jokingly.

"You kid, you really have something else to say. We won't eat you." Elder Xiao cursed with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Wang Teng took Ding Yumian and left the venue surrounded by a group of people.

This scene naturally attracted everyone's attention and even attracted reporters to interview, but they were stopped by the staff as soon as they came over.

On the top floor of the main campus cafeteria, the lights flicker, calling the dining floor a pleasant sky blue.

The banquet had already been prepared here. Unlike the scattered seats of the students below, here there were round tables for seven or eight people to sit around.

Not many people could come up, and it seemed that this conversation was somewhat important. They entered the small restaurant, which had the same layout as outside.

The only difference is that there is already a table filled with a sumptuous dinner, and even classic white wine is served.

"Everyone, please sit down and feel free." Dean Xiao spoke very politely and seemed to be in a very good mood today.

"Wang Teng~ The situation was special last time, and I didn't go over to support you. It's true that I'm not qualified as the dean. I will punish myself by drinking three cups of wine!"

Dean Xiao opened the bottle cap and started blowing into the bottle of liquor.

Under Ding Yumian's shocked gaze, she blew through more than half of the bottle before stopping. If she hadn't smelled the rich aroma of the wine, she would have suspected that it had been diluted with water.

"Hey, Dean, if you have a drinking urge, just tell us directly. No one will laugh at you. Haha..." One of the old professors spoke half-jokingly.

"Hehehe..."

A group of people also started laughing, and with their jokes, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

"Those are just small matters, and they are all in the past, so there is no need to worry about it." Wang Teng smiled, opened the bottle cap and drank half of the bottle in return.

"Well, young people are just huge!"

"Your coming back this time is indeed a great help to our school."

"My old man admires you too!"

The old professor with glasses raised the bottle of wine and came over enthusiastically.

"Haha~ thank you for the compliment." Wang Teng chuckled modestly and continued clinking bottles.

Ding~
Tons, tons, tons... After a few gulps, the whole bottle of white wine was gone in just a few gulps, and he didn't even have time to take a bite of the food.

As several people took turns clinking glasses, there were soon many wine bottles on the ground and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

If we light a fire at this time, we might be able to set the room on fire.

Ding Yumian ate the food silently, looking at their fearless faces, wondering what they were planning.

But she couldn't help laughing out loud in her heart. It was probably a bit unrealistic to want to drink enough to make Wang Teng drunk.

Sure enough, after drinking more than ten bottles of liquor, Wang Teng remained calm, and even showed a look of pleasure as if he had just had a great time.

Several old professors couldn't help but stop and turn their attention to the delicious food on the table. Their faces were red from drinking.

"Ahem... Wang Teng, I have a question, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not." Dean Xiao saw that several old guys had given up on their own initiative, so he had to step forward and speak.
