CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 39: NO ONE TRUSTS ME

A night passed, and today the school is holding a teacher-student assembly, where no one is allowed to be absent.

Su Yue also went to school early.

On the vast playground, students from each grade formed square arrays, standing at the center of the football field.

Even the third-year liberal arts students who are about to take the college entrance examination must attend the assembly.

This kind of grand occasion is rare on regular days.

But there is one special class.

Class 2-3 does not have a head teacher leading them.

Everyone knows that Ding Beitu has been relegated to the library, waiting to be sent to the Teacher Combat Institute.

And the acting head teacher, Liu Dachen, had not officially taken over the class yet, so he had the right not to come.

At the front of the playground, there was a gigantic screen.

This screen would display the list of martial arts students in batches.

Although Zhou Yuncan ultimately stagnated at 15 cards and did not break through to 16 cards, the head teacher of Class 1 was still full of pride.

The entire reputation of Cengyan Second Middle School is practically upheld by Zhou Yuncan.

The event began.

Suddenly, photos of all the second-year head teachers of Cengyan City appeared on the screen, over a hundred people, densely packed.

Of course, the teachers’ photos were in the corners, occupying a small portion of the screen as today’s protagonists are indeed the candidates.

All the students were looking for their own head teachers.

In the freshmen division, a few promising martial arts enthusiasts were considering which class they should choose when they reached their second year.

Class 1 requires a head teacher’s assessment, making the competition fierce.

Class 3 had Ding Beitu dismissed and replaced with a new teacher, but the new teacher’s caliber remained a mystery.

The third-year students, however, seemed drowsy.

Such things had nothing to do with them.

...

Education system, banking system, tax system, water conservancy system, power system, Admiral’s Mansion.

As long as it was a government-related department, everyone was paying attention to the exam results.

Some departments originally did not want to attend the meeting, but Admiral Li Xingpei personally supervised, and all units held assemblies, all waiting for the results to be revealed.

All of this was stored in computer data, and even Li Xingpei couldn’t see the results beforehand.

To prevent fraud, the Divine Land Ministry of Education has done everything possible.

...

Cengyan Second Middle School, library.

"Although this decision is cruel, there’s no choice, please sign."

Liu Dachen held the dismissal letter, furious to the point of liver pain.

The sneaky principal wants to make him take the fall entirely.

Old Ding was quite pitiful, meekly signing the dismissal letter, just like a wronged young wife who dared not speak out.

Yet the more obedient Ding Beitu was, the more uncomfortable Liu Dachen felt inside.

The workplace, indeed, is like a battlefield, where there is no human affection.

"Teacher Liu, I’ve already signed the dismissal letter. Please hurry and accompany the kids to the assembly. They won’t feel at ease without a head teacher."

"I’ll start packing my things."

Ding Beitu smiled calmly.

"When you leave, just take the dismissal letter with you."

The dismissal letter was in duplicate; Liu Dachen took one, and the other had to be kept by the person in question.

He went directly back to the playground and had to report back to the principal.

...

On the playground.

A gigantic screen would display examination photos of 20 students at a time.

The students who passed the exam had their names and scores reduced on the left side of the screen.

The pictures of failing students shattered into pieces.

At this point, over a hundred students’ results had been announced, including Zhou Yuncan from Cengyan Second Middle School.

His score was precisely 15 cards.

Zhou Yuncan’s name also reached the top of the joint examination list.

Of course, that’s just a temporary first place.

When Zhou Yuncan appeared, the whole playground was in an uproar.

Gong Ling watched Zhou Yuncan from afar, her face full of envy.

Su Yue sighed with emotion.

So young, and already with 15 cards of Qi Blood, the future is boundless.

"Hey, it’s Liu Dachen coming back."

A classmate from Class 3 remarked.

Su Yue turned around, and sure enough, Liu Dachen ran to the principal’s side, whispered a few words, and then placed something similar to a contract.

"That contract is probably Teacher Ding’s dismissal letter. I am useless, unable to save him."

Gong Ling’s eyes turned red.

She really tried her best, but still couldn’t catch up with Zhou Yuncan.

"Rest assured, Teacher Ding will be fine. I have 18 cards of Qi Blood, and Teacher Ding will become the focus of Cengyan City."

Su Yue reiterated his ranking once more.

"Hehe!"

However, this time, Gong Ling couldn’t even be bothered to respond and simply rolled her eyes at Su Yue.

Others were secretly muttering.

Why is Su Yue becoming more and more vain? Is he going to shamelessly harass the class monitor now that Wang Lu Feng is gone?

"I’ve been having too much internal heat these days, yellow urine, or rather..."

"Then go relieve it!"

Hearing the classmates’ discussion, Su Yue became even angrier.

Speaking the truth, why is no one believing it!

Su Yue found it strange; do I really look that insincere?

It must have been Wang Lu Feng who ruined my reputation.

...

It wasn’t long before.

Zhou Yuncan’s first place was directly overshadowed, silencing the entire Cengyan Second Middle School.

Above his photo appeared a young man with a buzz cut, intently gripping the detection ball.

Liao Ji.

Qi Blood value 16 cards.

Directly surpassing Zhou Yuncan, currently ranking first.

Below the top ten, besides Zhou Yuncan, the students were predominantly from the First and Third middle schools.

The atmosphere at Cengyan Second Middle School was a bit tense.

The next batch.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared.

Gong Ling.

Her Qi Blood was 12 cards, now ranked 19th.

If there could be just one more student in Class 3 with even 10 cards, Ding Beitu could avoid being in the bottom three.

But everyone knew that a miracle wasn’t possible.

Wang Lu Feng was already gone.

...

After a while.

As one batch of names after another was wiped out, the results were announced down to the end.

Liao Ping.

From Class 1 of the First middle school, with a Qi Blood value of 17 cards.

An astounding number that caused the playground to start buzzing.

Liao Ping and Liao Ji, undoubtedly the strongest students in the joint exam.

They were twin brothers, distinguished only by their hairstyles.

The younger brother, Liao Ji, had a buzz cut.

The older brother, Liao Ping, sported an outrageously flamboyant non-mainstream exploded hairstyle.

Though such a hairstyle was inappropriate for students and belonged more in a hair salon, there was no choice, as he was the number one in Cengyan City.

Currently, Liao Ping’s photo occupied the largest portion, his demeanor in the detection cabin driving many female students wild.

A deep, melancholic gaze, sagging destroyed jeans, he was simply the trend’s frontier.

Moreover, with the big ’Love Loss’ on his black T-shirt, he conveyed an indescribable rebelliousness and melancholy.

"Why haven’t they announced me? Hurry up and announce my results!"

Su Yue was anxiously stamping his feet.

The admission ticket was filled in correctly, the name was written correctly, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Yet as it neared the end, Su Yue’s photo still had not appeared.

"Su Yue, tell the truth, do you really have 10 cards of Qi Blood. I just calculated that if Class 3 has one more student with 10 cards, Mr. Ding could avoid being in the bottom four, at least he wouldn’t be expelled."

Until now, all the lone seedlings of Class 3 had announced their scores.

Only Su Yue was left.

"I already told you, I have 18 cards, one card higher than that Liao Ping."

Su Yue said irritably.

How many times do I have to say it, do I really look that unreliable?

"Forget it, I knew it was pointless to ask..."

Gong Ling shook her head in disappointment.

"Look, it’s Su Yue’s photo."

Finally, it was the last batch, containing very few students, not even enough to fill a full screen.

"Su Yue, are you here to make jokes? Why are you holding the detector with only one hand?"

Before the result was announced, a classmate jested.

Indeed.

In the center of the screen, Su Yue’s photo was nothing short of comical.

While everyone else was calm and composed, with both hands firmly on the detection ball.

Only Su Yue looked absent-minded, imitating a one-armed swordsman, placing a single hand on the detector. Though it looked profound and cool, everyone knew he was a fool.

"Su Yue...what, what, what are you doing?"

However, in the next breath, the sharp-eyed class committee member of the class suddenly grabbed Su Yue’s left arm.

Even though she didn’t take the martial arts exam, the grip was truly strong.

Su Yue winced, puzzled; why not grab my right arm?

"This... how is this possible..."

Gong Ling, lost and listless, took a small step back.

...

Unnoticed, the gigantic, flamboyant photo of Liao Ping was replaced by another person.

Single-armed ball handling, profound and mysterious.

Like a mysterious ancient swordsman.

Qi Blood value, 18 cards.

An eye-popping score that left everyone breathless.
