Chapter 85: Surprise (Extra update for Alliance Leader Jueying Xuantian) (Ten more)

“You’re still the best!”

Tang Yan felt an indescribable envy when he heard Chen Yi’s words, but he couldn’t show it, so he just replied awkwardly.

“Oh, right, why aren’t you going to check the results?”

Chen Yi asked Tang Yan in return.

“Sigh, forget it! There’s nothing good to see with my students; they definitely have no hope. Out of sight, out of mind.”

Tang Yan sighed with utter helplessness.

Just then, a hurried footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and thinning hair walked in excitedly.

“Teacher Chen Yi, you’re here!”

“Gao Wen, why are you here?”

Chen Yi replied with some surprise.

“Haha, of course, I’m here to congratulate you! The results are out, and your student got into Royal Courtyard Academy Outer School!”

Gao Wen said with a chuckle.

When Tang Yan heard Gao Wen’s words, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

Chen Yi, however, smiled and asked,

“How many got in?”

“One.”

Gao Wen immediately replied.

The smile on Chen Yi’s face instantly froze, and then he looked at Gao Wen in disbelief.

“Are you sure you didn’t misread? Just one?”

“Yes, Lin Chuyu! Her results have been announced.”

Gao Wen looked at Chen Yi with confusion.

Chen Yi’s heart suddenly twisted in pain, and he asked in disbelief,

“How is that possible? Li Fubai didn’t get in?”

“No, his comprehensive score was enough, but didn’t he file a complaint earlier about Su Ming attacking him? The higher-ups ruled that both of their performances were poor and didn’t award additional performance points, so his auxiliary subject score wasn’t enough, and he failed.”

Gao Wen shook his head regretfully.

“Oh, no!”

Chen Yi was instantly enraged, slamming his fist on the table, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.

He was almost done gathering his quota, but only one student got in this year.

“Oh, don’t be angry! It’s nothing! This year, the Royal Court Order taking over made it much harder, so it’s normal not to get in. Besides, you still have one! Unlike me, I don’t have any. Just bear with it for a few more years; consider it keeping me company.”

Tang Yan quickly tried to console Chen Yi.

Chen Yi took deep breaths, calming his turbulent heart, and replied with difficulty,

“Sigh! So close!”

“Teacher Chen Yi, don’t be angry. Teacher Tang Yan is right, just bear with it for a few more years. Oh, and congratulations to Teacher Tang Yan too.”

Gao Wen then congratulated Tang Yan.

“Congratulate me for what?”

Tang Yan looked at Gao Wen, utterly confused; he didn’t know what he had to be congratulated for.

“Of course, congratulations to your class’s student, who also got into Royal Court Academy! Isn’t that a surprise?!”

Gao Wen said with a chuckle.

“How is that possible? Don’t tease me! Who in our class got in?”

Tang Yan asked in utter disbelief.

“Su Ming!”

Gao Wen immediately replied.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Su Ming get in? He might not even be able to get into an ordinary academy!”

Tang Yan’s head was buzzing. If Ming Ke had gotten in, he might have held a tiny bit of hope, but Su Ming was absolutely impossible.

“It’s true! Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, go outside and see for yourself!”

Gao Wen said to Tang Yan with certainty.

“What was his score?!”

Seeing Gao Wen so confident, Tang Yan became even more agitated and quickly pressed for details.

“218 for the comprehensive score, 50 for the Mecha auxiliary subject.”

“That’s still not enough!”

“Oh, his household registration is from Three Cities. You’ve really found a treasure!”

Gao Wen said with a smile.

Chen Yi, who was standing nearby, felt even more choked up, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Gao Wen, you stay here and help Chen Yi organize the files. I’m going to take a look!”

Tang Yan happily instructed Gao Wen, then excitedly ran out.

Soon, Tang Yan rushed to the School field and found the area where his classmates were gathered. Just as he was about to step forward,

Tang Yan saw his classmates, one by one, embracing their parents with tears of joy, cheering excitedly.

Although their class’s overall performance wasn’t great, with his tutoring, many of them barely managed to scrape together 120 points.

At this moment, Tang Yan’s eyes were a little moist. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to wipe the corner of his eye. He didn’t go forward but stood in the corner, watching his students from afar.

At this time, Su Yuan was immersed in extreme joy, gesticulating and muttering to himself,

“Haha, our family’s ancestral grave is finally smoking! My son got into Royal Court Academy…”

Su Ming also smiled, looking at the crazed Su Yuan. He was also very happy right now, not expecting to get into Royal Court Academy in this way.

However, Zhao Ning quickly calmed down, and she said to Su Yuan with great unease,

“Su Yuan, stop celebrating! Something’s wrong!”

“Huh? What could be wrong?! My son did so well; it doesn’t matter if the junkyard explodes.”

Su Yuan had been completely overwhelmed by joy.

Su Ming also looked at Zhao Ning strangely. He noticed that Zhao Ning’s expression suddenly became very uneasy. Could something have gone wrong in some part of the process?

Zhao Ning saw how foolish Su Yuan was and angrily scolded him,

“Can you be any dumber? Your son got into Royal Court Academy, and it’s the most popular Mecha class. Won’t he have to go to the battlefield later?”

When Su Yuan heard Zhao Ning’s words, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he suddenly felt a little panicked.

“No way! Can’t he transfer departments?!”

“Transfer what department? Do you think Royal Court Academy is run by your family? Graduates of Mecha classes from other schools aren’t necessarily required by the military, and they can apply to be Old Federation staff. But Royal Court Academy’s Mecha class students are already reserved by major legions before they even graduate.”

Zhao Ning angrily and relentlessly scolded Su Yuan.

“Ah, what should we do then? What if he doesn’t go?”

Su Yuan was also at a loss for a moment, saying with a bitter face.

He had originally only wanted his son to score 120, just enough to graduate and come home to inherit the family business, living a stable life. Who knew that his son would do so well?

“Not go? First, the school won’t allow it, and the old man won’t agree either! It’s all your fault for insisting he apply for the Mecha class for no reason. I told you back then to just apply for a medical class casually, but you just wouldn’t listen.”

Although Zhao Ning very much hoped for Su Ming to make a name for himself, she cared more about her son’s safety.

“Oh, but you can’t blame me! You know how much our son loves mecha; he only wanted to go to the Mecha class back then.”

Su Yuan argued, feeling wronged.

Su Ming, who was beside them, also sighed. Although he knew that Zhao Ning and Su Yuan were doing it for his own good, wanting him to live a stable life in the future,

He had come to this world with great difficulty and also longed for the stars and the sea.

So Su Ming said to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning,

“Mother, don’t blame Father. This path is one I chose myself.”

When Zhao Ning heard Su Ming say this, her heart was in a turmoil.

Just then, Chen Tong, Ming Ke, and others rushed towards Su Ming, saying excitedly,

“Su Ming, you actually got into Royal Court Academy!”

“You really did it!”

“Mm.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.
