Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 18: One, Five, Fifty, Hundred

"Director, how can the two be engaged?" Yan Jie didn't know this information, she was shocked when she heard that.

"Teacher Yan, haven't you heard this rumor yet? This has spread among the students this morning. "Despite not liking gossip about students' personal lives, Sun Qiu heard these conversations through the halls of the school.

"I have not heard of this subject. So that's why so many students in my class are angry with student Liu Yang. But principal, don't they have the same last name? Wouldn't that make them siblings? Are they an incestuous couple? "Yan Jie finally realized something, she found it odd that the students in her class were strangers all day. But when the thought of Liu Yang and Liu Xia had the same surname, a strange thought popped into her mind, Yan Jie began to imagine many crazy things in her mind.

"I can only say that they are not blood-related siblings, according to the information I received from reliable sources, student Liu Yang is the only child of the Liu couple, and student Liu Xia is the couple's adopted daughter. As the two grew up together since childhood, the two began to treat each other as lovers, even if they are steps-siblings.

I also saw the photo of their marriage certificate, just need to be approved in the registry to be official. For now, the two are just engaged. "The director knew some things that others did not know, he received this information from a reliable source.

"The two are a very unique couple, the fiance is in the worst class while the fiance is in the best class. The two are the opposite. "Yan Jie was surprised to hear the information about the couple, she never imagined they were already in this phase of the relationship. Yan Jie was wondering where the principal heard this information, but she didn't ask, as it was rude to ask about students' personal lives, especially as a school teacher.

"That may be true, but this is not something we teachers have the right to intrude on, this is a personal matter among students. Our job is to teach young people to control their powers. "The principal said, he had no interest in getting involved in student affairs. Our job is to teach and protect students.

"Principal, what are you going to do when the qualifying for the competition starts?" Yan Jie asked she was worried that some unforeseen events might happen.

"It won't happen unexpectedly if the freshmen in the first three classes were the best, as they say, they are, they'll be able to pass the qualifying tests unless they want to lose face in front of everyone." The principal was implying that Liu Yang was much stronger than the other freshmen.

"Looks like the principal thinks very well of the student approved by Cao Wen" Yan Jie knew some students that Cao Wen irregularly approved, she was always frightened by Cao Wen's observational power in approving students if she were the examiner, she couldn't do what he did.

"I can only say that I trust Cao Wen's choice, this will not be the first or last time he will approve a student irregularly. Let's stop talking about the students, what are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be planning something for tomorrow's class? "The principal didn't comment on the subject and gave a different answer than Yan Jie thought.

"Yes Principal" The group of teachers and instructors left the room, only the principal was left. The room was silent for a few moments before the principal murmured.

"Liu couple It brings me some memories"

The school library was close to the classrooms but across the campus. Many students would go to the library for inspiration and read about ancient stories.

The interior was quite quiet and serene, as there was a large sign with the words "Silence", many students did not dare disobey this order, because they did not want to face the consequences.

However, the library, which was always calm and quiet, became a bit noisy, as a prominent student appeared to read some books.

In one corner of the room, you could see a beautiful young blue-haired girl sitting in a chair, she was alone and looked like a cold and lonely goddess on top of a mountain of ice, no student around wanted to get close to her, even if they were looking to her with eyes of wonder and fanaticism. She was Liu Xia.

After the practical class ended, she went to the library, that was the deal between her and Liu Yang, if either of them finished the classes first, one would wait for the other in the library. As her class ended just before Liu Yang's class, she went to the library first.

Liu Xia chose the smallest table possible, which could only have two people sitting around. This was for the others to realize she was waiting for a person, the students around knew who Liu Xia was waiting for and could only grit their teeth because of it.

The book Liu Xia was reading was about advanced magical arts, this kind of book was something many students would not even think of reading, as they were still just novice mages. Although Liu Xia was almost advancing towards the intermediate mage, there was still a big gap to be overcome before the advance mage.

While Liu Xia was reading the book and ignoring anything that happened around her, despite that, she knew what was happening, but she didn't care.

Suddenly a group of students entered the library, they were all young and looked older, each of them had the letter A on their uniforms.

The group went to the middle of the library and began to look around, the young man in front had a serious look as he looked at every corner of the room. When he saw a beautiful young woman in the corner, a smile appeared on his face, he started walking towards her, the other students were not following him.

"Hello Junior Liu, I saw your performance in the practical class, I can say that you are the best student among freshmen. I forgot to introduce myself, I apologize for my lack of education, my name is Zou Cheng, and a main member of the Zou clan, one of the ten most powerful families in the country. "Zou Cheng introduced himself arrogantly, he the son of the current head of the family and had reason to be arrogant.

The country was governed by the government, but behind the curtains, the real rulers were the five and ten great families. They were the center of the country's political and military powers.

After them, the most influential group was the fifty-one hundred families.

Because of this, these groups are known as five, ten, fifty, hundred. They were the largest powerful and influential groups in the country.
