Chapter 191 Academy

Annan took off his mask, took off his cloak, and took off the extra clothes that concealed his figure.

Since the academy knows his true identity, it is unnecessary to continue to cover it up now.

Mainly, he was getting a little hot.

The temperature in the college is very suitable. It is neither too cold nor too hot when outside. However, this office is a bit stuffy. I don't know if it is a ventilation problem or the owner of the room.

"You are so straightforward. I thought you would continue to hide your true identity for a short period of time like everyone else."

Jiuxiao, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is very lively. He smiles and winks at Anan.

"However, I still recommend that you continue to conceal your identity in front of others."

To know the true identity of the new members, they must be at least professor level or higher, that is, they must be the backbone of the college at the minimum.

The vast majority of members of the academy will still use various methods to hide their appearance even when walking around the academy.

People like Jiuxiao who are unabashed are actually in the minority.

"I usually don't leave the academy. It should be said that I basically live here, so it doesn't matter."

Annan actually doesn't mind being exposed, but magic professor Dulan thinks they should be more careful. Their understanding of the academy is still too shallow.

"Professor Jiuxiao, I want to ask a question, how did you choose the members? Why did you choose me?"

"There are many ways for the academy to select new members. The most common one is to look for suitable candidates outside through members above the professor level."

Jiuxiao explained with a smile.

"Or, members can recommend the academy, and after our inspection, invitation letters will be sent to suitable candidates."

Annan did not feel that there were members of the academy around him, and he was also surprised when the owl suddenly arrived that night.

"But Annan, you are special."

"Something else?"

Annan raised an eyebrow.

"You are not recommended by anyone, nor are you a good prospect discovered by our professor outside."

Jiuxiao's eyes were full of curiosity. In fact, he had been looking at Annan when he entered the room, but he hid it well.

However, Annan has noticed now.

"Okay, let's stop pretending. I'll just show my cards. It's easier this way. To be honest, you were chosen by fate."

"What does it mean?"

Annan hated playing riddles and guessing riddles the most. As soon as he heard about the ghost fate, he asked back without hesitation.

"It's hard to explain clearly. There are some things that you have to see with your own eyes and you will understand the meaning. What I mean by fate is literal. You don't need to think too much about it."

Jiuxiao seemed to have answered the question, but in fact he didn't explain it at all.

"Do you think the academy is very quiet? Although we do not have many members, there are still some people there. No matter how vast our base camp is, it is impossible for there to be no movement at all."

Annan's brows moved again.

"However, this is normal, because we know you will come today, so we have made some arrangements. You will not see other people until you enter next time."

"You guys, predict when I will come in?"

Annan looked at the smiling expression of the college professor in front of him.

However, he didn't see anything.

"Everything is guided by fate."

When Jiuxiao said this, he seemed to be amused by himself.

He chuckled a few times and managed to hold back his laughter.

"I don't like the so-called fate. I don't really believe in the so-called fate. However, this time, fate actually appeared in front of my eyes. Even if I don't admit it, this is indeed the arrangement of fate."

"So, it was destiny that brought you here to greet me?"

Annan was thinking, if he took out his pistol now and fired a shot at the professor in the college in front of him, he wondered if he would say that this was also fate.

"No, it's just the guys on the board of directors who think I'm a suitable candidate because I'm one of the few people in the academy who doesn't mind others' business, that is, I won't meddle in other people's business and won't create unnecessary influence in reality."

The board of directors mentioned by Jiuxiao is actually the highest level that controls and manages the entire academy.

Among the member levels of the college, there are students, teachers, professors, etc., but there is no such position as president.

The person responsible for the overall management of the students is the Academy Council, whose number is unknown.

"The existence of the academy, or should I say the rules of the academy, is actually a bit strange. It can also be called strange."

The Academy does not demand loyalty from any member.

The academy has been a very pure secret organization from beginning to end.

"Investigate knowledge, pursue truth, study all things, and most importantly, impart these unknown knowledge to qualified and suitable talents. Knowledge cannot be cut off. This is the truth."

The academy, as its name suggests, is a place of learning.

The academy will not interfere in any way with reality, but it will not impose any norms or restrictions among its members.

As long as it does not hinder the existence of the college, the college council will not have any reaction.

The academy is just the academy, and it will always be that way.

"Annan, the only people who know about you are the old guys on the council and me, the idle guy who was innocently chosen. Apart from that, no one here knows that you were chosen by fate."

"If others find out, maybe I will get into trouble in reality?"

Annan now only feels that this academy is a bit baffling.

This was very different from what he had imagined.

"It can be said that, after all, the rules of the academy are too loose. It can be said that there are almost no rules. Unless the members want to subvert the academy, no matter how excessive things they do, the council will not pay attention."

What Jiuxiao wants to say is actually very simple.

"The members of the academy have never been of the same mind. It should be said that the cohesion among our members, which can also be called the sense of companionship, is basically non-existent."

"I probably understand."

Annan wanted to complain.

What is it about the college that continues to operate like this?

You must know that the academy is a secret organization that has existed in the other world for a long time. The internal regulations are so loose, and it should have been destroyed due to various accidents.

"Let me put it straight to the point. What is the so-called destiny? What is the thing that picked me? What is the thing that discovered me?"

Annan can learn more about what kind of organization the college is in the future.

As for now, he just wants to figure out one important point as soon as possible.

He really hates the Riddler, and if there is a puzzle, he would rather solve it brute force.

"Does the fate you call real? Can I go and see?"

"sure."

Unexpectedly, the professor of the college nodded in agreement without thinking.

"Even if you don't tell me, my mission today is to take you there. Come on, go see the so-called destiny that chose you."
