My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 177 - 176: Faculty Members

The next day, ten in the morning.

As the principal of Zudian Campus, Pu Xueli was living quite comfortably.

When Lv Bai pushed open the door to the principal’s office, he saw the principal lazily lounging on the sofa, humming a tune.

"Oh, you’re here, have a seat anywhere."

Pu Xueli didn’t get up; he smiled casually, "Don’t mind me, I’m not a morning person."

Lv Bai didn’t stand on ceremony, sitting naturally across from him.

"This peace didn’t come easy. If I could, I would rather be an ordinary person, living a mundane life."

Pu Xueli sipped the green tea in front of him, "My lifelong dream has been the same: find a stable job with a decent income, make a few friends to hang out with occasionally and chat."

Lv Bai did not comment on this, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Were it not impolite to interrupt Pu Xueli’s musings, he might have asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

The principal seemed to notice Lv Bai’s disinterest in the topic, and with a teasing tone, he asked, "So, since yesterday till now, have you been bombarded with news?"

"Not really." Lv Bai shrugged.

"Haha, it’s my fault for not anticipating it. If I knew you’d make the list, I’d have advised you to hide your information first."

Pu Xueli seemed a bit helpless as he said, "It’s great that young people have the drive, but... don’t forget, there’s still the threat of clones in the Death Arena."

"I’m full of confidence."

Lv Bai responded casually.

His tone was so relaxed, it was as if he was talking about having hotpot later.

It’s true, at least in the death matches, he didn’t fear those so-called clones.

"Confidence is a good thing..."

Pu Xueli habitually affirmed, then said, "But I must remind you, from now on, you’d better keep an eye out. Many threats don’t just come from the Death Arena."

"Are those forces I declined going to retaliate against me?"

Lv Bai tilted his head slightly.

"Not at all, the other campuses, various organizations and societies, at least have the same goal."

As Pu Xueli spoke, a fierce murderous intent suddenly emerged from his expression, as if one could clearly smell blood: "But there are always rats in the gutter..."

By the rats in the gutter, he was referring to an anti-human society, which called itself the Can Society.

The members of Can Society were genuine grand spawn.

They believed in the survival of the fittest and regarded extraterrestrial civilizations as their master.

Initially, members only spread rhetoric about surrendering and the futility of resistance.

This stage was actually still normal, as humans are creatures prone to self-destructive tendencies in extreme environments, something subtly evident in jokes like "Tired, let’s destroy" or "This way, alien masters."

But as the society developed, under mutual brainwashing exchanges, a strong fervor of devotion emerged among the members.

They were no longer satisfied with just calling for actions and began to take real action.

They conducted terrorist attacks, assassinated proficient Death Fighters, and sought revenge on society...

The most incredible thing was that they hadn’t actually contacted any extraterrestrial civilizations; they were inexplicably acting alone, pursuing motives that normal people couldn’t fathom.

Under this society’s principle, it was natural for them to kill budding talents in the cradle.

However, after listening quietly to Pu Xueli’s account, Lv Bai was only slightly surprised and showed no signs of panic.

Holding Flash Time and All Ink, if those madmen dared to come after him, it would be akin to seeking death.

He nodded, "I’ll be cautious."

"These rats have no bottom line; I’ve already applied for special talent protection for your younger siblings. As for you, keep a low profile for a while and don’t wander aimlessly."

Pu Xueli sighed, adding, "Forget it, I won’t nag. As long as you know."

"The reason I asked you here today is also because Counselor Liang asked me to see if you’ve decided which unit you want to join?"

As mentioned before, the Death Battle Campus isn’t purely a school, it also has some military and administrative functions.

For these reserves, once you finish the first three rounds in the death match, it’s considered graduation.

Only students who become formal Death Fighters are eligible to remain on campus.

But their status is no longer as students, but as faculty members.

In the faculty member system, there are roughly five levels, from low to high: General Affairs, Assistant, Clerical, Coordination, and Strategy.

Each level is divided into Trainee, Sub, and Full positions.

Generally speaking, those faculties who inquire students after the death matches are usually at the bottom of General Affairs, still in a Trainee position.

This level is quite mixed; many normal people are still here, like security guards, gatekeepers, and school doctors, who belong to Trainee General Affairs.

For normal people, a full position in General Affairs is the limit; they cannot advance any further.

Because becoming a formal Death Fighter is a mandatory requirement to ascend to the Assistant level.

Do not underestimate this faculty member system, although termed as faculty, it actually mirrors the administrative and military system.

Throw an ordinary Clerical level person into the military, and they immediately receive an officer’s treatment.

"Assessment Department."

Lv Bai replied without hesitation.

Clearly, he had looked into matters concerning his own benefits.

The Assessment Department is famous for being a leisurely division at the Death Battle Campus.

Minimal work, stable income regardless of circumstances.

"Not bad, you’ll have more time to improve yourself."

Pu Xueli really didn’t care which unit Lv Bai chose, as long as he stayed at Zudian Campus.

He gulped down the tea in his cup.

"Later, go straight to the administration building to get your certificate. Don’t mind if the level is low; I’ve already fought for the maximum allowed by procedures..."

...

"Not bad at all."

Lv Bai walked home, examining the faculty member certificate in his hand.

[Lv Bai, Assessment Department, Group Six, Vice-Chair.]

In the faculty member system, this was a full Assistant level.

Not just skipping three levels, but five.

Compared with most students who start at Trainee General Affairs and slowly build experience, he started on a completely different level.

Even Counselor Liang Fuzhong took over twenty years to reach the same level as Lv Bai now.

Lv Bai reached the steel bridge and noticed a middle-aged man standing at the edge, wearing a director’s cap and frog sunglasses.

The man listlessly observed the passing pedestrians on the bridge but suddenly perked up when he saw Lv Bai, quickly approaching him.

He rubbed his hands together exaggeratedly and said, "Hey there, your looks are quite good. Have you ever thought about developing a career in the entertainment industry?"
