After the crowd dispersed, Shan Yue arrived at the princ.i.p.al’s office.
Knock knock knock.
There was a crisp knock on the door. Zhang Huang, who was still working with his head lowered, clearly revealed a very surprised expression. He had not seen Shan Yue for a long time.
“Come in. The door is not locked.” Seeing Shan Yue appear, Zhang Huang immediately put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and quickly walked to Shan Yue’s side, his expression clearly excited.
“Yueyue, it’s been so long since we last met. Grandpa Zhang misses you.” Zhang Huang’s smile was very benevolent. He stroked his white beard and said in a kind tone, “Ever since you took a long leave of absence from school, the two of us haven’t seen each other. Later on, we caught up with the spread of the disease in the Federation City. You had to be busy with the research of the antidote. Now that school has finally started, 1 can finally see you.”
It had to be said that in her daze, Shan Yue actually felt the feeling of family from Zhang Huang.
“Grandpa Zhang, of course i miss you too, but i was really too busy recently.”
Shan Yue hurriedly explained and helped Zhang Huang sit on the sofa at the side. “As soon as you told me that the Demon Month was over, 1 came back immediately when school started today.”
“I still know you very well. i guessed that you would come back today, so I’ve been waiting for you here early in the morning.”
As Zhang Huang spoke, his expression suddenly became a little serious. “However, there’s not very good news. It’s just that the compet.i.tion in Federation City this year is a little intense. I didn’t expect so many genius youths to appear.”
“What do you mean?” Shan Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “Are the compet.i.tors this year a little troublesome?”
“It’s more than troublesome. If we split this year’s students among the past few compet.i.tions, Federation City will be able to get into the top three no matter what.”
Zhang Huang narrowed his eyes. “As far as i know, the final a.s.sessment of the Demon Month has to choose three people from all the partic.i.p.ants in the country as candidates. The full score is 200 points. After all, the compet.i.tion needs all-rounded talents, so the test questions contain knowledge mixed with dozens of subjects. It was originally decided that those who pa.s.sed 150 points would pa.s.s.
“Originally, according to the experts’ predictions, there would definitely not be more than three people who pa.s.sed. However, the final outcome exceeded everyone’s expectations. There were six people with more than 150 points. We had no choice but to only admit the top three. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction.”
Facing such a powerful lineup, if anyone still had the slightest att.i.tude of slacking off, they would definitely lose miserably.
“Why are there suddenly so many outstanding contestants?” Shan Yue was a little puzzled.
“Many families will specially choose people of suitable age and train them in seclusion for two to three years just for this selection. If they can be chosen and obtain a good result, not only will the family become famous, but they will also enjoy endless wealth.” Zhang Huang shook his head and sighed. “But this path isn’t that easy to walk.”
“I see.” Shan Yue fell into deep thought.
“Yueyue, there’s something you have to pay attention to. These people have all been selected by the Demon Month and have been carefully nurtured by the various large families since they were young. Their ambitions are higher than the sky. You also have a small privilege of not partic.i.p.ating in training. You’re different from them.”
Zhang Huang had already expected some situations in advance. He wanted to say something but hesitated. “In comparison, you’ll suffer more discussion and suppression, so…”
“Grandpa Zhang, I naturally understand what you’re saying.” Shan Yue interrupted Zhang Huang and a faint smile appeared on her lips. The last thing she was afraid of were people who were stuck-up. The more arrogant this group of people appeared, the more miserable they would be when they were slapped in the face in the end.
“I, Shan Yue, have always been a person who refuses to admit defeat. I know that compared to my resume, it’s not that glorious. I can understand that they look down on me. I can use my ability to shut them up in the compet.i.tion, but…”
Shan Yue’s gaze gradually became sharp. “If they push their luck, don’t blame me for being rude. 1’11 let them know that I, Shan Yue, am not someone to be trifled with.”
Zhang Huang agreed with Shan Yue’s actions. “You have to remember that ability speaks for itself in the compet.i.tion. However, if anyone is disrespectful to you, our Capital University is not easy to bully. We will always stand behind you.”
With that, Zhang Huang stood up and took out three doc.u.ments from the drawer of his desk. On them were the information of the three contestants who had stood out in the Demon Moon..
