The young trainees wore robes of red and blue.
Yet, it was the one in blue who led the pack.
The young man in the blue robe looked the youngest, only a couple of years older than Lynn, with silver-gray pupils and short hair.
Augustine!
Augustine's expression was indifferent, emanating an icy aura that kept strangers at bay, giving off an extremely arrogant vibe.
His appearance instantly drew everyone's gaze.
The chatter doubled in volume compared to before.
"Augustine!"
Someone in a red robe behind Augustine exclaimed in surprise, "Look who it is, the super genius on a par with you, Lynn Lancaster!"
The crowd turned their attention to Lynn, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"So this is him, looking so ordinary..."
"West, the word 'genius' isn't written on one's face."
"What do you think would happen if we recruited him to the Truth Association? The president would be thrilled, right?"
"Shh, Augustine wouldn't be happy..."
Augustine's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stopped.
The others followed suit, all shutting their mouths.
Although Augustine was younger and less experienced than them, and some of them were not inferior to him in strength, everyone felt intimidated and jittery in his presence.
Augustine turned his head and squinted at Lynn, sizing him up.
The people around became excited.
"Wow, are the two super geniuses of Saint Irises Magic Academy going to clash?"
"I can almost smell the gunpowder! What does Augustine intend to do?"
"I'm excited!"
Gossipers who love to stir up trouble are never in short supply, regardless of the timeline.
"West."
"Yes... Yes!"
A young trainee in a red robe hastily responded.
Augustine said calmly, "On my behalf, invite him to join the Executive Branch."
"Hmm... What?!"
West instinctively nodded, then exclaimed in surprise.
The others were also full of astonishment.
Augustine glanced at them, and they immediately lowered their heads.
West could only comply and walked towards Lynn.
Shortly after, he returned with a strange expression on his face.
"Why did Lynn leave?"
"What did Augustine's people say to him?"
"Isn't Lynn scared?"
Augustine furrowed his brow, "How did he respond?"
West answered honestly, "He declined."
As if anticipating it, Augustine wasn't surprised and murmured to himself, "Is it because I didn't show enough respect..."
"He also said..."
West hesitated.
"What else?"
Augustine looked up and inquired further.
"He also said..."
West braced himself and said, "He said he didn't have the time to play power games with a group of kids."
"Ah!"
Gasps filled the air.
Everyone couldn't help but grumble, "Lynn is too arrogant!"
"Yeah, calling us kids, what does he think he is?"
"Who does he think he is to say such things?"
"Just because he's Lynn Lancaster!"
Augustine said calmly.
All the voices fell silent.
Everyone looked at Augustine and found that he wasn't as angry as they imagined.
Instead, he had a thoughtful expression, seemingly pondering over Lynn's words.
"Let's go..."
Augustine quickly resumed his indifferent and arrogant demeanor.
...
"Lynn, rejecting the invitation from the Executive Branch like that might cause trouble."
Vivian's small face was written with concern.
Lynn smiled and said, "I know... But it's the most direct and straightforward approach."
To Lynn, the Truth Association was like the student union in his previous life's university.
A group of young people who had just tasted the sweetness of power, playing clumsy political games driven by interests.
Lynn didn't want to get bogged down just for a few credits.
So he deliberately displayed the arrogance expected of a super genius and rejected the Truth Association's invitation.
"I've considered it, and perhaps joining the Magic Potion Association would be a good choice."
Lynn said to Vivian.
"I plan to visit the Magic Potion Association now... Sorry, Vivian, I can't go to the library with you."
Vivian nodded and waved goodbye to Lynn.
The Magic Potion Association, marked by a crystal test tube, was not far from the library.
Lynn arrived soon.
The door was open, and the inside seemed spacious, with no one in sight.
Lynn walked in and was considering whether to call out "Is anyone here?"
Suddenly, a group of people dashed out swiftly.
"Run, run!"
"It's going to explode!"
"Oh my god, the association's funds for this month are going to be insufficient again!"
Lynn was taken by surprise and hadn't reacted yet when he felt many people running past him.
A hand grabbed him.
"What are you still doing? Don't you want to live?"
Lynn was forcefully pulled out of the association's door.
Everyone else was hiding at the doorway, crouching slightly, covering their ears, with tense expressions on their faces.
"Boom!"
A loud bang came from inside the door.
It felt like the heavens and the earth were shaking, as if even the ground beneath their feet trembled.
"Phew..."
Everyone sighed in relief, patting their chests.
"Hey, who are you? Are you also from our association? I've never seen you."
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
It was the person who had just pulled Lynn out.
Short purple hair framed fair skin, and the facial features were so beautiful that even Lynn felt jealous.
Upon closer inspection, "his" neck was smooth like a swan's, revealing that "he" was actually "she".
Just dressed like a tomboy.
Lynn explained with a bitter smile, "I came to join the association..."
"!"
Before Lynn could finish his sentence, he noticed that everyone's eyes began to shine.
"Great!"
The tomboy exclaimed excitedly.
"After three whole months, finally, someone new wants to join... Oh, it's not easy!"
"Congratulations, you are now a member of our Saint Irises Magic Potion Association... Oh right, what's your name?"
"Ask later, ask later... Let's go in and tell the president this good news first!"
"Oh oh... President..."
The scene suddenly fell silent, and Lynn saw them looking at each other with strange expressions.
Someone swallowed hard.
"Do you think the president... is still alive?"
