Chapter 208: Gathering of Heroes
“Do you know which handsome guy she’s waiting for? Little Ke, you’re also from Huayang, aren’t you?” On the freshman seats, a rather delicate young man asked a long-haired woman dressed elegantly beside him with some curiosity.
“It’s not a guy like you think, it’s a girl, a legend from Zhiyuan High School.”
Lu Ke no longer had the arrogance of the past. She glanced at the other person, withdrew her gaze, and looked back at the stage, a look of reverence appearing in her eyes.
“A legend? Is she more powerful than this Black Dragon Princess? According to some rumors, she has a War God Level master and trained through special methods to reach the half-step War General level early. Some ordinary Initial Stage Battle Generals could be defeated by her if they were careless.”
The young man beside her saw this and raised an eyebrow. Thinking that the place she came from was just a small county town, he proudly said, “Little Ke, it’s hard to even see a Battle King Level in a small city like Huayang. If your father wasn’t transferred there, you wouldn’t have barely reached Mo University’s admission score. If I didn’t want to suppress my cultivation, I could easily crush the legend you’re talking about.”
Lu Ke didn’t turn back, but spoke softly as if to the air, “You don’t understand, that person is too strong, so strong that it doesn’t give us peers any desire to compete.”
After all, she saved the entire grade, single-handedly fighting against a Mid-stage Battle General and slaughtering thousands of demonic beasts.
…
“It seems like Su Jiu’s assessment is coming up soon. If she doesn’t report in soon, she’ll probably be on the school’s blacklist.”
On another seat, a hot-bodied girl leaned back in her chair and said to the burly figure beside her.
A girl was riding on the head of the burly figure, who was A Dun and Lin Ling from back then. They looked at the stage without speaking.
Unlike Li Yi who chose Imperial Capital University, although they met the admission score, they chose this school where their fathers had once studied.
…
Elsewhere, although it was the freshman seats, it was a bit different. On the pillars connected around, a cold and proud young man stood tall. He quietly looked at the stage and frowned, saying, “The school has been reluctant to start the competition for the freshman top spot. Could it be because of her?”
Behind him was an old man with white hair and a pale complexion. He wore the director’s robe of the Green Campus, with his hands behind his back. His slightly yellow eyes slowly scanned the stage and he said faintly,
“I also don’t understand the meaning of the higher-ups, but it’s certain that the Black Dragon Princess’s level is not enough to secure the top spot. After all, there are many freshmen who have already reached the War General Level and are eager to compete for the top spot.”
The cold young man smiled indifferently, his gaze shifted away from Bai Qianyu to the popular Hu Ling on stage, and he chuckled, “Then let’s not talk about Bai Ming’s sister. It is said that this student union president has a younger brother who wants to compete for the freshman top spot. He might be my main competitor.”
The old man chuckled, cupped his hands, and said in a low voice, “If young master secures the top spot this time, he will definitely attract the attention of the few old War Gods in the main campus. Then, if he becomes their disciple, he will definitely have the opportunity to reach the Battle King Level early.”
The young man nodded noncommittally, with a faint smile on his face.
…
Bai Qianyu’s gaze fell on the fiery-haired woman above, unfazed by the terrifying aura. She chuckled coldly and questioned, “On what grounds?! The previous arrangements were also agreed upon by your student union! Don’t you honor your word, senior sister?”
After speaking, she slowly walked off the competition stage and strolled towards the other person’s position, her aura undiminished.
“Agreed? But it is clearly stipulated in the school’s documents that these rewards can only be used for students of this school. Su Jiu has not reported to this school yet, and in a few more days, her admission status will be canceled by the school.”
With a light chuckle, Hu Ling’s reddish-brown pupils slid down as she looked at the table, then took out a tablet. On the tablet was a roster, which she showed to the students below.
It contained Su Jiu’s personal information, and a special entry indicated – Unadmitted, Student has not reported.
“I’ve already explained to the principal, she will definitely come! I don’t understand what you mean by this!? Are you deliberately making things difficult for freshmen?” Bai Qianyu’s face showed some anger, and she glared at Hu Ling’s position on stage, her fists clenching slightly.
Just as Bai Qianyu approached the judges’ stand, two youths wearing combat uniforms and student union vests blocked her expressionlessly and said lightly, “Classmate, please calm down a bit. In front are your senior brothers and sisters and the leaders of the Green Campus!”
Ignoring Bai Qianyu’s glare, Hu Ling smiled faintly and continued, “It’s not impossible to give you that White Origin Fruit, but I have a condition – you must not choose the White Water Society founded by your brother, but join the student union instead!”
“I will give it to her in the name of the student union.”
Others realized it at this moment and looked at Hu Ling like they were looking at an old fox. As expected, her intentions were not for Jiu…
As a top institution in the country, Magical Capital University, in addition to its semi-official student union, also allowed the establishment of various student organizations. This not only cultivated students’ personal abilities but also laid the foundation for future connections.
Generally speaking, self-established organizations have more cohesion than large organizations like the student union, and there are more like-minded people. At the same time, the obligations are much looser than those of the student union, so many students are keen on establishing their own organizations.
However, establishing an organization is not as simple and easy as establishing an anime club. Ordinary capable students usually choose to join existing organizations. Only those who are outstanding among their peers have the qualification to establish them!
Bai Qianyu stared intently at the face on stage, her fists clenched tightly. Just as she was about to say something, a young man walked over from the other side of the road, looking quite refined.
“Tap tap…” The sound of boots hitting the bluestone floor.
The man, dressed in a military uniform with a general’s star on his chest, then said loudly to the stage, “Esteemed Chairman, please rest assured, my student is just going to handle something important. I have communicated with the Director of the Green Campus regarding her spot. As long as she can return this month, she will still be a student of Magical Capital University!”
Hearing this, Bai Qianyu turned her head to look. After a moment, her angry expression relaxed, and a forced smile appeared on her face: “Principal Huang! Why are you at Mo University?”
Everyone’s gaze was drawn to Huang Fusheng, and they began to discuss. After all, a Major General with a general’s star was rarely seen. The old man on the pillar looked at him with a solemn expression and said in a low voice, “Why is this person back?”
The handsome and cold young man looked at the old man with some confusion. The old man merely shook his head without any explanation.
Hu Ling on stage looked down at the audience, her eyes narrowed, and she stopped talking, whispering to the person beside her.
Huang Fusheng grinned and didn’t offer much explanation. Instead, he acted like an elder reminiscing about the old days, as his age was not as young as he appeared: “Some matters regarding the Northern Expedition, and I came to visit my alma mater. I didn’t expect my most outstanding student to not have reported yet.”
He then said with some emotion,
“Alas, I didn’t expect student Xiao Bai that you are already close to reaching the Battle General Level. It’s Zhiyuan High School that has limited your development – both you and Su Jiu are one in a million talents!”
Hearing the other person mention the person she had been thinking of, Bai Qianyu pursed her lips and watched as the competition on stage resumed. She sighed softly, “I wonder where Sister Jiu has gone. Looking at the list, it’s almost her turn. I hope nothing happens to her.”
Unlike Bai Qianyu’s anxiety, Huang Fusheng chuckled heartily and found a step to sit down, saying, “That girl will definitely come. Her unreliable nature is just an act… If she were serious, she might have already reached the Battle General Level.”
Bai Qianyu’s little drama quickly subsided. Amidst their quiet reminiscing, four or five more matches passed in the ongoing competition.
And in the sixth match, a man flashed upwards. He carried a large curved saber with red flames, using the saber to propel himself onto the stage. He was wearing a student union vest and looked like he was receiving a mission. He glanced at Hu Ling, and his scorching aura surged outwards.
This was External Qi – Battle General Level!
“Third-year Lin Er is responsible for guiding first-year Su Jiu!”
As the voice from the referee’s stand fell, the noisy square suddenly quietened down a lot. Their eyes were filled with shock and confusion. Why let a senior student at the Battle General Level fight against a freshman? This was unprecedented, wasn’t this pure bullying!?
Upon hearing this, whether it was Bai Qianyu, or those who knew Su Jiu, their faces showed varying degrees of displeasure.
This was deliberate retaliation by the student union – as if to say, forget that she hasn’t reported yet, what if she comes? Just obediently take a beating!
“This is completely unfair and will affect the freshmen’s grades!”
Soon, a deep voice came from A Dun, who was holding Lin Ling. His square face showed a look of anger, and his huge body stood up in the last row.
The male student named Lin Er on stage, standing on the tip of his saber, looked provocatively at Huang Fusheng and the two, then turned to the burly figure who shouted out, sneering, “This is the arrangement from the Green Campus. If the juniors are dissatisfied, they can communicate with the academy leaders.”
