Three admissions teachers looked at Scarlett Jennings with such a serious demeanor and felt extremely distressed.
"Miss Garrison, choosing a university concerns your future, you must be cautious!"
The teacher from Grand Cathay University had a look of disappointment, wondering why she would choose such an unconventional school over the excellent options they had!
Even choosing Sea University would be better than that!
The teacher from Capital University, knowing that his school collaborated with the Capital Taoist Academy, didn’t hold as much bias against the Taoism Academy as the others.
On the contrary, he vaguely understood what the three Taoism academies in the country represented.
They weren’t places just anyone could get into.
"Miss Garrison, are you particularly interested in Taoism? Actually, Capital University also offers separate courses related to religion..."
The teacher from Sea University, not to be outdone, said, "While we don’t have such a course at Sea University, we can create one!"
The Jennings Family also showed their disapproval and tried to persuade her.
"Scarlett, you need to think through this matter carefully and not make a hasty decision."
"That Taoism Academy has no future."
"Maybe you don’t have to decide today; the teachers will surely give you some time to think about it."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Everyone chimed in, and even Adam Jennings felt compelled to come over and say a few words of persuasion.
This Scarlett Jennings, with the title of Provincial Top Scorer, chose such a disreputable school—it was a slap in the face to all the students she surpassed in the exams!
Especially to him!
Scarlett Jennings, facing all the persuasions, remained unmoved, her eyes clear and determined, and said,
"I’ve already made my choice."
Saying this, she looked at Old Sir Jennings and Luca Jennings, the heads of the Jennings Family, and said earnestly,
"I hope you can respect my decision."
After a pause, added, "And it’s fine if you don’t."
She wasn’t going to change anyway.
Old Sir Jennings’ mouth twitched subtly, clearly understanding the underlying message in his granddaughter’s words.
Although Luca Jennings thought his daughter choosing this school was indeed impulsive, since she had already chosen, he wouldn’t forcibly ask her to change.
"Since you’ve made your choice, let’s go with your decision."
As her father, Luca Jennings spoke up, making it almost final.
The three other university teachers looked on with disappointment.
But the teacher from the Taoism Academy was smiling with great satisfaction as he took out a delicate wooden box from his backpack and handed it to Scarlett Jennings.
"Dear Miss Garrison, Sea City Taoist Academy welcomes you. This is a gift from the academy for new students, and inside is an admission invitation with your name on it."
Teachers from the three elite universities watched with complex expressions.
They never expected the Taoism Academy teacher to be so cunning, even bringing a gift for admission!
Did they really think Miss Garrison would choose their school in the end?
That couldn’t be possible.
No one in their right mind would give up on the three prestigious universities to go to some Taoism Academy.
The teachers couldn’t understand, completely bewildered.
What had they lost to?
But no matter how they puzzled over it, reality was already like this.
Even though they didn’t recruit her, when they left, Old Sir Jennings gave each of them a red envelope, expressing gratitude for coming specially to bring the good news.
Luca Jennings and Scarlett Jennings personally saw off the admissions teachers.
As they were leaving, Scarlett Jennings stopped Taoism Academy’s teacher, Mr. Yan, alone, "Teacher, could I ask, is there a lecturer called Magnolia Hearne at the academy?"
Teacher Yan, in a good mood for recruiting a student, smiled, slightly puzzled when he heard the name,
"I haven’t heard of such a person. Such a distinctive name, if there was one, I’d remember. Why? Is this someone you know?"
"She’s my master," Scarlett Jennings didn’t hide from him.
Mr. Leander wasn’t surprised; many students have mentors before entering the academy, which wasn’t uncommon in their academy.
