Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 150: She’s Different

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: She’s Different

The principal had brought Mai Hunter and Vick to the office for a talk.

Yan Qianyi and the others were waiting outside.

Finally, Vick vented his dissatisfaction, "Principal, I won’t mention your usual favoritism towards Mai Hunter, but today, in front of the two freshmen, your blatant bias was inappropriate, wasn’t it?"

The principal sat behind his desk, slowly sipped his tea, and then tossed a file onto the table. "See for yourself."

Vick stepped forward, picked up the file, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Yan Qianyi? Her Spiritual Power Value is 80!?"

The principal nodded.

Vick asked again, "How did I not know that there was a freshman with such a high Spiritual Power Value?"

The principal helplessly said, "You’ll have to ask Mai Hunter about that."

Vick turned to Mai Hunter, clenching the file in anger, "Not this again! I won’t even mention how you’ve competed with me for freshmen in the past years, but you actually resorted to dirty tricks this year?!"

Every year it was the same, Mai Hunter always snagged the freshmen with high spiritual power for himself.

But in the past when rare talents appeared, the competition among teachers was fair, depending on which class the students voluntarily chose.

Little did he know that Mai Hunter had played dirty this year by concealing Yan Qianyi’s Spiritual Power Value.

Mai Hunter shrugged indifferently, "Such a promising seed would be wasted in your hands."

"You!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, the principal intervened, "Enough, Mai Hunter, from now on, you are not allowed to snatch students like this."

Mai Hunter responded with a noncommittal laugh.

The principal continued: "However, Yan Qianyi’s Spiritual Power Value does indeed need to be kept secret and not publicized. She doesn’t yet know how to use her spiritual power, nor does she have the ability to protect herself. I’m worried that if other countries find out that someone with such talent has emerged from our Federation Empire, it might pose a threat to her life."

It was like a country developing a secret weapon capable of delivering a fatal blow to its enemies, a military secret that naturally must be kept hidden.

The principal took another sip of tea, then added, "The day she completed her assessment, Deputy Officer Pei personally called to inquire about her situation, which shows the military also places great importance on her. Thus, Yan Qianyi is not only a key training target at our Federation Military Academy but also someone we need to protect vigorously. In the future, try not to trouble her over minor conflicts among the kids."

Vick nodded, "Understood, you can rest assured, Principal."

"And also, I’ve already asked the dormitory supervisor, and there is a room with two vacant beds, so you can move those two students from your class there," the principal told Vick.

Before Vick could respond, Mai Hunter hurriedly said, "Then I’ll thank the principal on behalf of Qianyi."

Setting Wang Shanshan and others aside, this favoritism couldn’t be more obvious.

Though Vick was discontent, he knew what was more important.

Upon leaving the principal’s office, Vick took Wang Shanshan and the others away.

Upon learning she had to give up her spot for Yan Qianyi, Wang Shanshan was very upset.

"Uncle, why? Why do Weiwei and I have to move out, letting Yan Qianyi and Yan Chuhua occupy one dorm room? Why do they get special treatment?"

Vick explained, "If there are more students later, they will also be arranged into that dorm."

"I don’t care! If someone has to move, let Yan Qianyi move out. Everyone saw us quarreling today. If I move out now, won’t everyone think that Yan Qianyi has beaten me?"

"Shanshan!" Vick’s voice turned stern, "Now is not the time to argue about winning or losing, and you can’t act on your whims in this matter! From now on, don’t provoke Yan Qianyi; stay away from her as much as possible!"

"Why?"

"Don’t ask why, your uncle won’t harm you; listen to me, and you won’t go wrong. Now, go back to the dorm and start packing," Vick said and then left.

Being outmaneuvered by Mai Hunter and losing a talent had left him very displeased.

Xu Wei asked, "Shanshan, it seems Yan Qianyi has a strong backer. What should we do now?"

Wang Shanshan clenched her teeth in anger. "My uncle has already said so much, what else can we do? Let’s just wait and see. I don’t believe Yan Qianyi can always be so lucky! She’ll trip up eventually!"

Some were happy, others were sad.

Yan Qianyi and Yan Chuhua were overjoyed to learn that their dormitory would be occupied by just the two of them.

Yan Chuhua smiled so broadly that the corners of her mouth almost reached the back of her head. "Mai Hunter, I can’t thank you enough!"

"You’re welcome. I definitely can’t let my favorite pupil be mistreated."

Yan Chuhua looked at Yan Qianyi. "It seems I am blessed by your influence."

"You are outstanding yourself; don’t sell yourself short," Mai Hunter said.

In fact, Yan Chuhua was someone he had also arranged to be in his class through his connections.

"Qianyi, I know about the incident at the training base," Mai Hunter sighed. "It was my fault; Shi Xin is as hard-hearted as her name suggests. None of my girlfriends have escaped her bullying!"

Mai Hunter grimaced at the mention of Shi Xin. "I really fear that with her around, I’ll never get married. Thankfully, she’s been expelled from Capital Star."

"It’s okay. It’s all in the past," Yan Qianyi said.

Yan Qianyi did not blame Mai Hunter for being an innocent victim.

After all, Instructor Shi had received her due punishment.

Mai Hunter assured confidently, "Rest assured, while you’re at school, I won’t let anyone bully you. If you ever feel mistreated, just come and tell me!"

Having said this and noticing Yan Chuhua’s expectant gaze, he reached out and patted her shoulder. "You too."

Yan Chuhua squinted her eyes in a smile. "Thank you, teacher."

"Alright, go back and rest. Don’t be late for the first day of classes tomorrow."

The fact that Yan Qianyi, who had a Spiritual Power Value of only 20, had been admitted to the Special Department quickly became well-known throughout the school.

So was everything that had happened at the training base; the whole school knew about it.

Following the incident with Wang Shanshan, everyone believed even more firmly that Yan Qianyi had a powerful backer.

Some were sycophantic, while others were enviously discontented.

On the first day of classes, the classmates in Special Department Class One were all very kind to Yan Qianyi.

But Yan Qianyi still sensed disdain and condescension beneath their friendly exterior.

Their kindness to her was merely out of respect for Mai Hunter.

The first class taught everyone how to enhance their spiritual power through meditation.

The second class involved entering the Spiritual Virtual Cabin to learn how to control their spiritual power.

Once inside the Spiritual Virtual Cabin, a barren world appeared in their minds.

Students needed to use their imaginations to enrich this world.

Whether their imaginations could materialize depended on their control over their spiritual power.

Mai Hunter first instructed everyone to imagine a tree.

Starting from the germination of the seed...

After an hour, the students exited the virtual cabins, and each faced a screen displaying their virtual world of consciousness.

While everyone’s virtual world remained barren, Yan Qianyi’s was different.
