SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Zhu Yu’s Reflection, A New Perspective After Three Days

TL: YYang

At Lijiang City Second High School.

On the sixth floor of the teaching building, in the VIP reception room.

The originally empty black round table was now filled with people.

Zhu Yu from Hancheng University, Li Bing from Chuan Nan University, and Wang Yuan from Anji University were among those present, many of whom were familiar faces.

“After three days apart, one must look at things with new eyes,” Zhu Yu remarked, her beautiful face scanning the room before pausing on the three imposing figures at the front, her tone filled with emotion.

When Zhou Yi had declared his intention to challenge the three top-tier universities, the people from the other three schools had thought he was arrogant.

Only she felt that Zhou Yi had courage and a certain drive, leaving her with a good impression.

However, while she admired Zhou Yi’s bravery, it did not mean she had confidence in his performance in the college entrance examination.

On the contrary, she had not expected much from him.

Yet, unexpectedly, he not only performed brilliantly in the examination but also became the provincial top scorer of Suhang Province!!

Now, not only had the familiar faces from the other schools come, but even the usually aloof top three universities had responded, sending admissions officers to visit.

“Who can argue with that?”

Li Bing from Chuan Nan University chimed in, a bitter smile on his face.

“If I had known Zhou Yi would become the provincial top scorer, I wouldn’t have left so quickly back then! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in such a passive position now.”

Back then, he and Wang Yuan from Anji University had left immediately upon hearing that Zhou Yi aimed to challenge the top three universities, not giving him a good face.

Had they stayed a bit longer like Zhu Yu, they might have left a better impression.

“We’re still better off,” Wang Yuan from Anji University gestured toward a middle-aged man sitting not far away.

“The higher-ups from Rongyang University heard that Zhao Tianfu was the first to leave during the initial recruitment and even scolded Zhou Yi for being too arrogant.

He was so furious that he nearly lost his composure. Not only did they dock his salary for a year, but they also replaced him with a new admissions officer.”

“Docking a year’s salary and revoking his position as an admissions officer is quite a severe punishment,” Zhu Yu said, somewhat surprised.

It was known that while most teachers at universities earned money by hunting magical beasts and selling materials, their salary income still accounted for a significant portion of their earnings. Losing a year’s salary was a considerable loss.

Moreover, as an admissions officer, they would also receive a bonus after each recruitment ended.

Now that his position had been revoked midway, he would likely miss out on that bonus as well.

“Who can argue with that? But what he said back then was indeed too harsh,” Wang Yuan shook his head, choosing not to elaborate further.

In terms of normal development, Zhao Tianfu’s comments, while a bit harsh, were not entirely unreasonable.

But who could have predicted that Zhou Yi would turn out to be such a prodigy, actually becoming the provincial top scorer of Suhang?

If his results had been slightly lower, merely within the top ten of the province, perhaps Zhao Tianfu’s punishment wouldn’t have been so severe.

…

With the TOP 10 universities arriving simultaneously, Principal Luo Heng was bustling around the VIP reception room, not daring to take a moment’s rest.

Of course, his primary focus was still on the three individuals at the front of the round table.

These three were Su Mei from Suhang University, Sun Rui from Qingjing University, and Cai Tianyun from Modu University.

“Zhou Yi, we at Modu University are definitely taking him. You two should head back early,” Cai Tianyun, a robust middle-aged man, spoke with a domineering tone.

“You’re taking him? Have you consulted with us at Qingjing University?” Sun Rui, sitting beside him, raised her eyebrows defiantly.

“Haha, what’s the use of arguing now? When Zhou Yi arrives later, it will still depend on each of your schools’ capabilities,” Su Mei, a voluptuous beauty from Suhang University, stretched lazily in her chair, her fitted instructor’s outfit accentuating her stunning curves.

Cai Tianyun and Sun Rui snorted in response and fell silent.

Indeed, the special admissions process relied heavily on each school’s capabilities; no matter how heated the argument, it wouldn’t change anything.

The entire VIP reception room was filled with representatives from the TOP 10 universities.

However, during the argument, it seemed the three did not consider the other seven schools.

The admissions officers from the other seven universities were not surprised by this.

After all, the three top-tier universities held an extraordinary status and had deep foundations.

They were not here to compete with these three top universities for Zhou Yi; they were merely here to familiarize themselves.

This made Principal Luo Heng, who had been accompanying them, feel a bit emotional.

Indeed, the aura of the three top-tier universities was not something the ordinary TOP 10 universities could compare to.

…..

In the VIP reception room, the admissions officers didn’t have to wait long.

Suddenly, with a loud whoosh, the sliding door of the conference room opened.

A tall and robust figure walked in, led by the principal’s secretary.

This person was none other than Zhou Yi.

As soon as he stepped into the reception room, more than a dozen gazes instantly focused on him.

Although Zhou Yi looked young, he exuded a dignified and composed aura in his suit-like outfit.

Whether it was the glory of being the provincial top scorer or the confidence brought by his S+ talent, the Protection of the Holy Angel, both aspects enhanced his already impressive demeanor.

“What a striking appearance!”

Su Mei couldn’t help but exclaim. With such a presence and looks, combined with his formidable strength, if he entered university, he would surely captivate countless senior and junior students.

The teachers present were all at least level 35 professionals.

Although everyone consciously restrained their aura, the pressure of so many eyes focused on one person was still incredibly daunting.

In such circumstances, Zhou Yi was able to maintain his composure, which was no small feat.

All were high-level professionals, and if Su Mei could see this, then naturally, everyone else could as well.

Thus, upon their first meeting, Zhou Yi left an impression of calmness and confidence in everyone’s minds.

“Zhou Yi, you’re here,”

Principal Luo Heng immediately approached, smiling as he began to introduce.

Under his introduction, Zhou Yi quickly learned the identities of many teachers.

These were all admissions officers from the TOP 10 universities.

And the three at the front were the admissions officers from the three top-tier universities.

“Hello, teachers,” Zhou Yi said respectfully.
