My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Key Training, Connected Individuals

Yuan Chenyang didn’t explain much, just asked gently, “Is there something you need?”

“I have a friend who says he has talent,” Bai Fengxi said, her voice clear.

“A friend?” Yuan Chenyang frowned slightly, then hesitated, “A vagrant?”

“Yes,” Bai Fengxi nodded.

Yuan Chenyang sighed, a fleeting hint of murderous intent in his eyes. “You are too kind and don’t know how to refuse. I’ll send someone to the shantytown to warn him.”

Bai Fengxi shook her head and explained, “Zhou Zong was investigating me, and he helped me deflect it.”

“Zhou Zong?” Yuan Chenyang frowned, realizing something was amiss. “How could he have the authority to deter Zhou Zong?”

“He’s already entered Southwind Academy as an auditing student…” Bai Fengxi explained.

“How did he get in?” Yuan Chenyang became interested.

Bai Fengxi hesitated slightly, then said, “Teacher Jiang He brought him in.”

“Jiang He?” Yuan Chenyang was astonished again, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes. He felt a slight resentment towards the unknown young man he hadn’t even met.

“I’m no longer taking students,” Yuan Chenyang said, shaking his head.

Bai Fengxi didn’t say much, just lowered her head further and silently retreated.

Seeing her expression, Yuan Chenyang sighed helplessly and called out, “How about this, I’ll give him a chance and put him on this year’s key training roster.”

“Thank you,” Bai Fengxi bowed, adding, “His name is Su Chen.”

“I know, I’ll have someone arrange it, and also…” Yuan Chenyang suddenly remembered something else, his tone becoming stern. “Don’t get too entangled with him.”

Anyone Jiang He fancied might have a good appearance.

“What entanglement?” Bai Fengxi looked up, seemingly confused.

“It’s nothing, go,” Yuan Chenyang felt a little relieved.

Outside the door, the confusion on Bai Fengxi’s face faded, replaced by indifference.

She knew where her advantages lay and how to use them.

Since arriving at Southwind Academy, she had never asked Yuan Chenyang for anything. As long as she opened her mouth, she would always gain something.

“Key training, this is the only way. Let’s see how far you can go,” Bai Fengxi’s reasons for helping Su Chen were complex.

It was because of Little Pigeon, and also a shared “hometown” sentiment, as well as admiration for Su Chen’s ability to get into Jiang He’s good graces.

Such a “unscrupulous” person should at least have a chance.

…

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The knocking on the door was gentle. Su Chen was still wondering who it was when he opened it to find a strange man he had never seen before. He wore black-rimmed glasses, and his demeanor suggested he wasn’t a student. He held a stack of documents.

His tone wasn’t particularly friendly. He said flatly, “You’re Su Chen, right? I’m Wei Zhigao, the person in charge of the Southwind Academy’s key training class. You are now part of the key training class, and I’m here to inform you of some necessary matters.”

“Key training class?” Su Chen was stunned, surprised. “Me?”

What’s going on? Is the “Brother Victim” finally making a move?

Wei Zhigao didn’t pay attention to Su Chen’s shock and walked straight ahead. He had already checked Su Chen’s information.

A complete nepo baby, first Jiang He, then Vice Principal Yuan.

Since he was brought in halfway, Wei Zhigao naturally didn’t have a good attitude.

…

“Yuan Chenyang, why would it be that old man?”

In the room, the elder behind the desk frowned deeply. Jiang He paced back and forth, muttering, “Why would Yuan Chenyang help Qi Chuan? Have I offended him in some way?”

“Father, didn’t you say this was Qi Chuan’s counter-trap? Why did Su Chen get involved?”

“Trouble…” The elder frowned deeply. “If it’s that old man, then the matter can only end here.”

“End here?” Jiang He stopped, incredulous. “What do you mean? This matter of trying to kill me, that’s just it?”

“Alas, Yuan Chenyang…” The elder sighed. “Now that the academy has been attacked, if he really wants to make a fuss and involve you and me, it will be very troublesome.”

“Don’t show your face these days. Just focus on preparing to advance to a second-order Arcane Apprentice.” “Is that all we can do?” Jiang He was still unwilling. “What about Su Chen?”

“Don’t worry about Su Chen for now. Let Qi Chuan do whatever he wants. This matter is temporarily over.” The elder’s eyes flickered.

“Temporarily?” Jiang He keenly caught this point.

The elder tapped the armrest, his voice growing deeper. “Let me find out why Yuan Chenyang is supporting Qi Chuan. Also, people will come from Yingfeng Giant City. If Yuan Chenyang can’t find the attacker, he might be reprimanded…”

…

“Why would Yuan Chenyang pay attention to this obscure fellow Su Chen?”

The voice in his ear was calm, but it made Qi Chuan’s forehead sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry, he’s only been transferred to the key training class. He still has to go out for city patrols.”

“If Yuan Chenyang investigates further, can you take responsibility?”

“I’ll take it, I’ll take all of it,” Qi Chuan said heavily. “This person must know a lot of things!”

…

“So many benefits, huh…” Su Chen licked his lips, quite excited.

This key training class was indeed different. Firstly, there was the issue of resources. Three compressed nutrient solutions were provided every week.

If he used them up due to high-intensity training and needed to purchase more, he would receive a 50% discount from the academy.

At the same time, access to purchase auxiliary training potions, such as Blood-activating Potion, was granted.

However, even with the 50% discount, it would still cost 500 gold to purchase.

There was also a personalized career path and professional teaching staff.

Of course, these students would also be obligated to serve Southwind City for free for three to five years after graduation, to repay the resources consumed.

“However, the unified talent measurement for the start of the semester has passed. I’m not qualified to apply for a separate instrument to test you, so I can’t determine your dominant direction,” Wei Zhigao said expressionlessly.

Whether it’s physical talent or spiritual talent, those at Radiant Silver or above will have unique qualities. This guy in front of him looks quite ordinary.

“No need.” Su Chen didn’t care. Then he remembered a crucial question and asked, “Do I still have to leave the city?”

“The requirement to leave the city was set by the city lord,” Wei Zhigao sneered inwardly. If this kid could extend his connections to the principal, then he was truly amazing.

“It seems it’s unavoidable,” Su Chen said helplessly.

Afraid of leaving the city? Wei Zhigao’s eyes grew even more unkind. How could Vice Principal Yuan, with such an imposing personality, arrange for such a person to sneak in through the back door?

He pulled out another piece of paper: “Do you want to take the physical route or the spiritual route? Decide, and I will arrange unified course training for you.”

Su Chen glanced at it. It was two columns of profession names, divided into physical and spiritual.

There were more physical professions, five of them, while there were only three spiritual ones.

“Are there any top-tier professions here?” Su Chen asked, which earned him a look from Wei Zhigao as if he were an idiot.

Su Chen didn’t mind. “Then I’ll go with physical.”

Physical had five professions to choose from, while spiritual only had two, and the only advanced profession was Arcane Apprentice.

Among the physical professions, there was indeed one first-order advanced profession.

“You choose Swift Wind Walker?” Wei Zhigao frowned, practically wearing “overambitious” on his face.

He had looked at Su Chen’s file. A vagrant with no foundation, it was impossible to become a first-order advanced profession within three years. There was no benefit other than wasting resources.

He had intended to advise him, but thinking about the other party’s file, he closed his mouth. After all, he had gotten in through the back door, and if he said more, the other party might think he was meddling.

Let him play around by himself.

“Your student ID has been updated. The next physical training class is in the afternoon. When you go, the instructor will give you the profession information.”

“This is a Spirit-Sense Communicator, for temporary rental. If lost, you’ll need to pay compensation.”

Wei Zhigao dropped a palm-sized metal device and left without looking back.
