Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Encouraging Withdrawal! Applying Early to the Top Three Schools?_1

Monday afternoon, 4:30 PM.

Luo City Number One High School.

Class 3 (10).

Su Yan had just walked into the classroom when he saw the homeroom teacher distributing registration materials, instructing students to verify the accuracy of their information.

He sat down at his desk and meticulously checked his information.

[Name]: Su Yan (no former name)

[Age]: 17 (208 months)

[Level]: Ordinary (previously Semi-Advanced Level)

[Qualification]: Not Qualified (previously Excellent)

[File Note]: On May 20, 2020, the student, unable to resist the charm of a fox demon and engaging in pleasures of the flesh, severely depleted his Essence, resulting in his current weak and sickly condition with a comprehensive combat power of 5.

Su Yan looked at the information, then thought about the cheats he’d obtained after transmigrating. He couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved.

Good thing I’m a transmigrator with cheats.

Just then, the homeroom teacher’s resonant voice rang out.

"The college entrance exam registration will open promptly at 5:00 PM!"

"There’s only half an hour left before the start of the college entrance exam registration. Please consider your options carefully."

"Decide whether you will participate in the college entrance exam or give it up to register early for the three major schools."

As he said this, the homeroom teacher glanced over at Su Yan, then continued, "Those who want to register early for the three major schools can come straight to my office later."

After finishing, the homeroom teacher left the classroom.

Su Yan, however, didn’t take it seriously at all.

As a Rare Level Creature, how could I possibly give up the promising field of evolutionary science to register for one of the three major schools? Only an idiot would do that. I’ll definitely stick with evolutionary science, aim for a top-tier university as a safety net, and strive for Jingdou University or Demon Capital University. First, I’ll register for evolutionary science as a sickly weakling, inviting a wave of ridicule. Then, I’ll shamelessly make some outrageous claims. Spout some classic lines like, ’Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never bully a young man for his current poverty!’ That should attract another wave of mockery. Then, for the remaining twenty-odd days, I’ll keep my abilities hidden, enduring all sorts of disdain and cold shoulders. When the college entrance exam arrives, I’ll reveal everything and make a huge splash!

TSK TSK! Isn’t this scenario just perfect? Register for one of the three major schools? Would I then have to show off by piloting a Kai Tian Pi Di Machine in public? That would be so lame. It’s much more satisfying to show off during the college entrance exam. On the highly anticipated Martial Arts Platform, appearing as a sickly weakling, I’ll thrash the top students and trounce the academic gods. Just thinking about it is exhilarating!

At this thought, Su Yan felt a thrill of secret delight and couldn’t stop a chuckle from escaping.

"HEH HEH..."

"Su Yan, what are you doing, laughing so creepily all of a sudden?" Huang Xing, his deskmate, asked with some confusion upon hearing him.

"HEH HEH HEH..."

"Su Yan?"

"HEH HEH HEH HEH..."

"Hey, don’t scare me, okay!"

"HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH..."

"Su Yan, wake up!"

"HEH HEH... Ah, it’s nothing. I was just humming a little tune because I was bored. Don’t make such a fuss."

"The entire tune was just ’heh heh heh.’ I’m thinking, this song is ridiculously absurd!" Huang Xing grumbled, then buried his head and continued to verify his information.

After indulging in his fantasy for a moment, Su Yan looked around at his classmates and stealthily used his cheat to check their information.

He learned that most of them were Ordinary creatures, and there were only about five people who had reached the Semi-Advanced Level. Among them, Lin Ruoxi had the highest Level, already an Advanced Level Being, and was also the only one in the class.

Seeing this, Su Yan felt another thrill of secret delight.

These unremarkable classmates of mine would never guess I’ve already become a Rare Level Creature. From today onwards, we’re not in the same league anymore!

While Su Yan was absorbed in these thoughts, Li Wei, the burly, buzz-cut boy at the desk in front of him, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Su Yan, Huang Xing, do you guys want to give up on the college entrance exam and register early for the three major schools?"

"I’ve heard that the Kai Tian Pi Di Machine major at Lanxiang Institution is not bad; some who study it well can even use it to go head-to-head with Demons and Monsters."

"Practical and flashy, full of style."

Su Yan was still pondering his own matters and didn’t respond right away.

However, his deskmate Huang Xing shook his head and declined immediately. "I feel I’m doing pretty well in academics; I might have a chance at getting into an undergraduate course."

"So, giving up on the college entrance exam and registering early for the three major schools is not something I’d consider."

"Right..." Li Wei said, then turned his gaze to Su Yan and asked, "Su Yan, what about you? Do you want to come with me to Lanxiang Institution to learn how to operate the Kai Tian Pi Di Machine?"

For a student like Su Yan, who’s terrible at evolutionary science and also sucks at academics, there are no better options left besides applying to one of the three major schools, Li Wei thought. That’s why he wanted to convince Su Yan to register for Lanxiang Institution with him. After all, having an old, familiar classmate along would mean having some company at school, right?

Su Yan glanced at the buzz-cut boy and shook his head. "No, I’m going to apply for evolutionary science."

The moment he said this, several classmates within a two-meter radius were immediately astounded.

One bespectacled boy, who looked rather scholarly and was Li Wei’s deskmate, reacted most dramatically. His mouth gaped open into an ’O’ shape, his face full of disbelief. "Su Yan, did I hear you correctly? You said you’re applying for evolutionary science?"

"That’s right," Su Yan nodded.

"I mean, Su Yan, aren’t you kind of giving up on yourself by doing this?" Li Wei’s deskmate, Wei Rong, furrowed his brows and tried to persuade Su Yan. "Even though you were an evolutionary whiz kid once, things have changed now. You really don’t have to be so stubborn."

"Yeah, Su Yan, you really don’t have to do this," Li Wei chimed in. The four of them in their small group had always gotten along well, and none of them wanted to see anyone make a rash decision.

"It’s fine, I’m just applying for fun. Besides, my dad has already paved the way for my future," Su Yan replied lazily, not bothering to explain further and instead offering a casual excuse.

The speaker may have been casual, but the listeners took it to heart. Upon hearing Su Yan’s words, the members of the group suddenly became "irate."

"Can the rich second-generation brat just get lost!"

"We don’t want you as a group member!"

"Exactly, scram!"

The trio cursed and complained, but it was mostly just venting; they didn’t truly mean it.

Just then, a boy from the next group over spoke up excitedly, "Su Yan, Li Wei, have you guys seen the Feibo trending topics?"

Both shook their heads, indicating they had not. After all, the college entrance exam countdown was on. Who the hell had time to be glued to their phones checking out trivial online matters? Some female celebrity got her hair cut... Some male celebrity wore glasses... Some celebrity did something or other... Frankly, those uninformative, bought-and-paid-for trending topics? Even a dog wouldn’t look at them!

Seeing that the two were unaware, the boy eagerly started explaining, "Big news! Just half an hour ago, there was a battle involving Legendary Level Creatures at Luo City Central Primary School. It was so intense and terrifying, really mind-blowing!"

"Guess who the two Legendary Level Creatures fighting were?" the boy started teasing, building suspense.

Everyone couldn’t stand it and instantly began to curse and urge him, "Stop guessing, just spit it out!"

The boy, somewhat sheepish, then said, "It was God Gu in battle with a Legendary Level Strange Tree!"

"It’s topping the Feibo trending chart right now, and comments have broken ten thousand in just one hour."

"What!? It’s actually my God Gu!" Upon hearing the name "God Gu," two girls in the back row exclaimed in shock. Then, turning into little fangirls, they squealed and begged the boy to show them his phone.

The boy, feeling a bit helpless, had no choice but to hand over his phone to them.

"God Gu truly is the hope of the Human race!"

"He just graduated from his master’s program, and his Creature Level has already reached the realm of Legendary Creatures."

"That’s really incredible!"

"Got to admit, it’s true!"

"Unlike us ordinary folks, we’ll be lucky to reach the Semi-Advanced Level in our whole lives."

Word spread quickly. Soon, the whole class was abuzz with their own discussions. Some were excited, others sighed, but without exception, they all felt admiration and longing.

Legendary Level Creatures! And the youngest in Nanjiang’s history at that. Such a bright future! It was truly enviable.

Of course, there was one exception: Su Yan, who sat calmly at his desk.

He nudged his deskmate, Huang Xing, and asked with some confusion, "This God Gu... is he referring to Gu Feng, the full-time supervising teacher at South River University?"

Before Huang Xing could answer, the two girls in the row behind them suddenly paled, their expressions instantly turning serious. One of them scolded, "Su Yan, addressing God Gu by his full name is a sign of great disrespect!"

Su Yan: "..."

Well, I’ll be! I’m utterly speechless! Can’t even mention his name now? Are God Gu’s fangirls all this unhinged?

「Soon, it was five o’clock.」

The registration for the college entrance exam officially began.

The procedure was simple: confirm the information was correct, fill in a few forms, register the information on the website, and get the admission ticket number. And then... that was it.

Due to the overly simplified process, Su Yan’s registration for the evolutionary science program didn’t even cause a ripple. Nobody cared what he signed up for.

This left Su Yan feeling somewhat downcast.

This isn’t how I imagined it at all. Where are all those despicable clowns? Why aren’t they showing up to ridicule me? I can’t even stir up any animosity like this...

After all students had completed their registration, the homeroom teacher hastily collected the forms and left. Then, not long after, he hurried back and called out from the doorway, "Su Yan, Lu Nianfan, Chen Changsheng, the three of you, come with me for a moment. The school administrators want to have a talk with you."

The school administrators want to talk to us?

The three exchanged puzzled looks but, despite their confusion, got up and followed.

「Shortly after.」

Led by the homeroom teacher, they entered a small meeting room in the school.

At a glance, the meeting room was almost full. There were about twenty-odd people, including several familiar faces who were students from other classes.

Apart from the students, several important-looking officials were on a small stage, engaged in conversation.

With his exceptional hearing, Su Yan discreetly eavesdropped on their discussion. After listening for just a few moments, he figured out the identities of the officials. They were the principal and vice-principal of Luo City Number One High School, as well as admissions officers from the three major schools.

And their topic of discussion was precisely how to persuade underachieving students to give up on the college entrance exam and obediently enroll in the three major schools ahead of time.

Well, I’ll be! So they’ve gathered all the stubborn students who refuse to give up on the college entrance exam to try and talk them out of it?
