When Brady finished speaking, the oldest professor sitting in the middle had a peaceful expression on his face. His eyes were full of anticipation as he slowly opened his mouth to speak.

“The eleven professors from the Spiritual Academy have introduced themselves. I believe you already have an answer in mind?”

The other ten professors looked at Moss in unison and awaited his reply. At that moment, Burton, sitting in the front, cleared his throat and said smilingly, “As the Dean, I haven’t guided a student for many years. But when I see you, I am passionate about guiding again.

“If you feel the eleven professors aren’t suitable, you can choose me instead. My specialty is to gather the strengths of various schools, allowing you to understand and use spiritual energy more comprehensively.”

Moss was shocked. He muttered inwardly, ‘What’s this? So, Dean Burton is the one with ulterior motives! What’s more, is that eleven professors are sitting behind him.’

Some professors could no longer hold it in and started pouring out their thoughts.

“D-Dean Burton, you can’t do that. You don’t have a mission to bring the students!”

“It’s not easy to find students like Moss. You can’t take him all for yourself.”

“Just leave this tiring work to us, Dean Burton.”

…

Burton ignored them—instead, he looked at Moss and asked kindly, “What’s your choice, Moss?”

Moss smiled bitterly. Indeed, he had an answer—Professor Brady. When Brady introduced himself, Moss knew he was different from the rest. The other professors displayed their power while Brady intentionally suppressed his spiritual power.

Moss had only guessed that initially because

Saying that he had intentionally kept his spiritual power was only a guess by Moss at the beginning because the professors in the Spiritual Power Academy would possess potent spiritual power, regardless.

Even if Brady were a powerful professor in theoretical research, he would not be too weak. Otherwise, he would not be able to connect theory to reality. What’s more, he was a professor at Kyoto.

Therefore, Moss thought that Brady wanted to test him and see if he could find the problem and choose him as his professor. While the other teachers wanted to fight for Moss, Brady wanted to test him.

Such a person would be a more powerful character, so Moss’s eyes were full of reverence when he first looked at Brady. What happened later also proved Moss’s judgment.

When Brady said the latter half of his sentence, it seemed he had gotten the answer he wanted. He no longer suppressed his spiritual power.

However, if Moss answered the professors sincerely, where would the Dean put his face? Especially since he knew Burton was aware it would cause the professors to criticize him. Still, Burton proposed to teach Moss.

It would hurt Burton’s heart if Moss rejected him, but Moss did not want to go against his heart. Indeed, it was a complex problem, but then again, this was Moss. He had lived two lifetimes, so how could this problem stump him?

He composed himself and heaved a sigh of relief. “After listening to Professor Brady’s introduction, I would like to choose him as my tutor.”

The other ten professors were shocked and turned envious gazes at Brady for a moment. Some even sent their blessings, and Burton looked at Brady with surprise.

‘Moss chose Brady?’ Burton kept asking himself. In his opinion, Brady had never made much presence in other people’s hearts.

Moreover, Brady was not a sociable person. He only studied and had no other hobbies. Few would see him around the campus if it were not for meetings and classes.

He did not communicate much with his students either, and the overall impression he gave off was taciturn and unremarkable. Until now, Burton did not understand why the president placed Brady in the Spiritual Power Academy as a professor.

To be honest, Burton was a little sad after hearing Moss’s answer since he had taken the initiative to bring Moss to everyone. He thought Moss would choose him, no matter what.

One knew what kind of resources the dean of the capital university held. Even if Burton had not taught many students for years, he could still produce high-level experts with his resources.

However, he did not expect Moss to be unmoved. Moss had chosen a professor that even Burton did not think highly of. He was not afraid of rejection but Moss’s future. He was concerned that Brady would be unable to nurture an excellent seedling like Moss and lose face for the Spiritual Power Academy.

After carefully considering what Moss had said just now, Burton smiled, saying, “Hey, Moss hasn’t finished speaking,” he looked at Moss and asked kindly, “Please continue.”

Moss’s eyes glinted, and his heart shook. ‘Dean Burton is not an ordinary person. It seems like I made the correct decision.”

Thus, he nodded and continued smilingly, “After considering Dean Burton’s words, I feel you have a valid point—to learn from the best of everyone. After all, I am a student who is eager to learn, so I have a presumptuous request.”

“What is it?” Burton nodded with some excitement, his eyes filled with solid anticipation. The other professors also locked their gazes onto Moss as Burton spoke.

Since everyone looked at him, Moss maintained his calm expression and continued smilingly, “I would like you all to teach me, including you, Dean Burton.”

“That is an excellent idea!” Burton slammed the table and said in a resounding voice, “Not only is this kid talented, but his EQ is also high. He has a bright future ahead of him!”

Burton was ecstatic and kept praising Moss inwardly, while the other ten professors were also thrilled. They felt like they had regained what they had lost.

Although, sharing a student with others was not as good as having the student to themselves. Still, it was better than nothing.

Brady felt relieved at that moment. He wanted Moss for himself but knew the other professors would have other ideas if he were the only one who tutored Moss.

Moreover, he was a new professor, and it was inevitable that he would have some difficulties later. He was not worried about himself but was concerned about Moss. After all, he did not want to impede Moss’s progress because of his incompetence.

After saying a few good words, Burton continued, “Since you wanted to choose Brady initially, I will follow your wishes. We’ll let Brady be your primary mentor, and the other ten will be your deputy mentors. Meanwhile, I will be the chief supervisor.”

Burton sipped his water to see the others’ reactions. Since no one had objected, he continued, “We will be with you seven days a week, but there won’t be two of the same deputy mentors a day. You can all form your groups, leave a day for Brady, and a day for me. Does anyone object?”

“No, sir!” The professors’ orderly voices reverberated throughout the lecture hall.

Moss felt it as he stood and bowed, saying, “Thank you, Dean Burton! Thank you, professors!”

Burton raised his arms and said with great appeal, “Then it’s settled! From today onward, we must be serious. We must show the other academies and professors our ability to nurture talents!”

Then he looked at Moss. “You must work hard too!”

Moss nodded enthusiastically. After bidding farewell to the professors, he left the lecture hall.
