Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 53

Ch 53: Two Schools Gamble

Indoor monitoring center, a series of huge display screens spread out like giant paintings, respectively presenting different scenes of each examination room, every move is under control.

“Old Fan, this time your Bridge Two Middle School, I’m afraid it’s going to be at the bottom again.”

Principal Zuo Yi of First High School leaned against the chair, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, glancing at Principal Fan Debiao of Bridge Two Middle School sitting beside him.

Fan Debiao frowned unhappily, glanced at Zuo Yi, and snorted coldly: “Noisy!”

Zuo Yi didn’t care, and smiled triumphantly: “Hehe, still stubborn? This National Exam, our First High School is destined to shine, you just wait and see.”

“Shine? I think it’s a load of b*llshit!”

Fan Debiao retorted without showing weakness, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

“At least First High School has people on the list every year, unlike some schools, which have been nameless for three consecutive years, it’s simply a joke!”

Zuo Yi looked mocking, with a bit of provocation in his tone.

Fan Debiao rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily: “You’re worrying about nothing!”

“Hehe, for some people, giving him more resources is a waste.” Zuo Yi deliberately raised his voice, and also deliberately turned his head to look at the principals of other schools, “What do you say?”

Zuo Yi’s words were obviously trying to provoke public anger.

The principals looked at each other, with an awkward but polite smile on their faces. No one wanted to answer, after all, this was their own feud.

Seeing that no one responded, Zuo Yi turned his head and continued to mock Fan Debiao: “If Bridge Two Middle School still has no one on the list this year, it might as well merge into First High School, so as not to waste resources.”

Fan Debiao’s eyes narrowed, and he said in a low and powerful voice: “Zuo Yi, if Bridge Two Middle School has no one on the list, I will apologize to you, but if someone is on the list, First High School will follow Bridge Two Middle School’s lead in the future, how about it?”

Zuo Yi narrowed his eyes, looking at Fan Debiao with a half-smile: “Are you issuing a challenge to me?”

Fan Debiao waved his hand dismissively: “Just say whether you dare or not, don’t be so long-winded.”

A sly look flashed in Zuo Yi’s eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer: “I don’t care about your apology, but if you lose, Bridge Two Middle School’s enrollment quota this year will have to be given to us by half, how about it?”

As soon as this statement came out, it was like a blockbuster, exploding among the principals.

“Zuo Yi is going too far…”

“Betting on enrollment quotas? How did he come up with that!”

“Principal Fan can’t agree to this kind of bet, it’s too harsh.”

“……”

The other principals discussed one after another, feeling that this bet was too harsh. Enrollment quotas are related to the future and development of the school, how can they be easily given up?

“If you don’t dare to bet, then forget it, no shame!” Zuo Yi smiled contemptuously, as if victory was in his grasp.

If he doesn’t agree, how will Bridge Two Middle School gain a foothold in Yu City in the future? But if he agrees, if he loses, half of the enrollment quota will inevitably hurt Bridge Two Middle School’s vitality and make it difficult to recover!

“Okay, I promise you!”

At this moment, Fan Debiao, who was in a dilemma, suddenly gritted his teeth and said, with determination in his eyes.

“Old Fan, you…”

Some of the principals of other schools secretly tugged at Fan Debiao’s clothes, trying to dissuade him.

Fan Debiao ignored it and said in a deep voice: “If you lose, I want half of the enrollment quota, and the full year’s education funding, how about it?”

Education funding is the lifeblood of the school. Zuo Yi couldn’t help but hesitate when he heard this, but he still said stubbornly: “What makes you so confident? Just because of your Fang Yan, or that so-called ‘Heaven’s Chosen’ Chu Qiu? Humph, don’t dream!”

“Waste!”

Fan Debiao snorted coldly and closed his eyes to rest, as if he was sure of victory.

“Bet!” Zuo Yi thought again and again. Although he felt that the odds of winning were very high, he still wanted to add a layer of insurance to himself, “However, the bet remains the same, we compare the number of people on the list, how about it?”

“You have a good plan.” Fan Debiao opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, staring directly at Zuo Yi, “Why don’t we bet on which of the two schools has the highest ranking, fair and just, how about it?”

Zuo Yi pondered for a moment, secretly calculating in his heart, how could he push away a gift that was delivered to his door? So he nodded and agreed: “Okay! A Gentleman’s word.”

“Is set in stone!”

Fan Debiao suddenly stood up from his seat and heavily slapped Zuo Yi’s palm, as if he was crowning his determination.

The principals of the other six schools looked at each other, with excitement flashing in their eyes.

Although they didn’t participate in the bet, they naturally enjoyed watching the excitement.

Moreover, no matter who wins or loses this bet, it is not bad for them, but can add a bit of fun.

……

At this time, Chu Qiu, who had just killed the Shadow Wolf with the force of a thunderbolt, suddenly keenly captured the strange noise coming from the depths of the dense forest.

That was the sound of the wind breaking as the Demonic Beast traversed the forest at an astonishing speed, the branches and leaves being violently hit, sharp and rapid.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Shadow Wolves seemed to emerge out of thin air, their eyes flashing with cunning and greedy light, their black figures looming in the swaying shadows of the trees, surging towards Chu Qiu from all directions.

“Let’s make a quick decision!”

Chu Qiu glanced at the Bronze Exotic Beast points displayed on his bracelet, the pitifully small number was really hard to arouse his interest.

“Little cuties, line up obediently and wait for Nether Overlord Di Ting’s favor!”

Before he finished speaking, the Netherworld Flames on Diting’s body suddenly became intense, and the scorching light distorted the surrounding air visibly to the naked eye, and the trees made crackling sounds under the baking of the flames.

Black shadows shuttled quickly through the forest, and the sound of wolf howls rose and fell, endlessly.

Chu Qiu’s bracelet also kept beeping, each sound representing the fall of a Shadow Wolf.

“Kill a Bronze Rank Eight Shadow Wolf, gain 8 points.”

“Kill a Bronze Rank Seven Shadow Wolf, gain 7 points.”

“Kill a Silver Tier 1 Shadow Wolf, gain 110 points.”

“……”

The points accumulated continuously like flowing water, and finally stopped at the number 178.

From this series of numbers, Chu Qiu quickly understood the conversion method of points, and secretly planned his next action.

“GOGOGO, Nether Overlord Di Ting, my 40-meter big bird is thirsty and unbearable!”

After a while, Diting slowly walked back in the posture of a victor, with his paws folded in front of his chest, his eyes full of excitement and satisfaction.

At the same time, on another mountainous battlefield with complex terrain, where mountains and ravines were intertwined, Li Chuan, dressed in a silver-white battle robe, was sitting upright on the back of a Silver Winged Eagle with an exceptionally strong body and wings flashing with silver light.

The Silver Winged Eagle flapped its wings and flew high, each flap seemed to carry the power to tear the air, making it walk on the ground in the sky above the mountains, leaving behind silver trails.

A venomous light flashed in Li Chuan’s eyes, staring intently at the front, that gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the void and reach the place where Chu Qiu was.

He gritted his teeth and whispered: “In this National Exam, I, Li Chuan, will definitely avenge my previous shame and trample that Chu Qiu under my feet! Let him know the consequences of offending me!”

Recalling the heavy price he paid for his impulsiveness last time, Li Chuan still felt indignant.

In that battle, not only did the Silver Winged Eagle shed blood on the spot, but he also wasted the precious teleportation scroll in vain. After returning to Ding City, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the family.

This shame was like a thorn deeply piercing Li Chuan’s heart, making him bear a grudge all the time.

In order to give Chu Qiu a fatal blow in the National Exam, he even condescended to win over those rabble that he had originally disdained.

What was even more terrifying was that, in order to kill Chu Qiu more safely and completely remove his inner demons, he made a decision that violated his ancestors and disgraced the entire family.
