SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: A Brand New Future!

TL: YYang

In the classroom of Class Five, Li Xiangyang spoke for a good ten minutes before stopping after receiving a phone call.

After the call, Li Xiangyang announced the dismissal of the class and then called Zhou Yi out of the classroom.

“Zhou Yi, the principal wants to see you. Let’s go.”

In the hallway, Li Xiangyang looked at Zhou Yi with a cheerful smile.

The only hidden profession transferee in the entire school.

He could already imagine what the principal wanted with Zhou Yi.

Under Li Xiangyang’s guidance, the two quickly arrived at the fourth floor of the teaching building.

This was the centralized office floor for the principal, vice-principal, and the director of education.

Following behind Li Xiangyang, Zhou Yi reached the door of the principal’s office.

“You can go in by yourself; I won’t be going in.”

Li Xiangyang smiled and gave a friendly reminder before turning and leaving directly.

He knew that the upcoming conversation between the principal and Zhou Yi was not something a homeroom teacher of an ordinary class could participate in.

With the homeroom teacher gone, Zhou Yi looked at the open office door in front of him and, without hesitation, walked straight in.

Upon entering the office, a quick glance revealed a middle-aged man busy at work.

This middle-aged man had a square face, exuding authority without anger.

He was the principal of the Second High School, Luo Heng.

As a level 21 Warrior, he was far stronger than ordinary teachers.

The pen in his right hand moved with such speed under his control that it almost seemed like a blur, quickly filling several lines with writing.

Seemingly hearing the movement, he looked up.

“Haha, Zhou Yi is here, come, come, have a seat.”

Luo Heng warmly got up to greet him.

He had been present throughout the awakening ceremony earlier.

If not for the concern of causing a bad impression, he would have wanted to directly pull Zhou Yi, who had triggered a miracle and transferred to Saint Knight, out of the class lineup…

The principal’s office wasn’t overly large, only about 40 square meters.

Besides the desk and bookshelf, there was a tea table and a sofa.

Under Principal Luo Heng’s guidance, the two sat on the sofa.

“I’ve heard of people awakening talents during the transfer ceremony before, but this is the first time I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes!”

As soon as they sat down, Luo Heng spoke with excitement.

“Not only that, but you also transferred to the hidden profession of Saint Knight! That’s an unexpected delight!”

His face was slightly flushed with excitement.

As a warrior who had been away from the front lines for decades, he had long lost hope of advancing further.

With little room for improvement in strength, his focus had shifted to his career.

Zhou Yi’s appearance, however, gave him hope for further advancement!

How could he not be excited and happy?

“You’ve really brought prestige to our school this time. The entire Lijiang City is talking about the miracle just now!”

After speaking, Luo Heng couldn’t help but laugh:

“So, after our discussion, we’ve decided to reward you with 100,000 Zhongxia Currency!”

“100,000 Zhongxia Currency?”

Before coming, Zhou Yi had guessed that Principal Luo Heng might offer some gesture, but he hadn’t expected such a substantial reward right off the bat!

To know—

Before this, excluding part-time income, his monthly living expenses were only a little over 700 Zhongxia Currency.

100,000 was enough to last him a long time!

Moreover, most importantly, with this 100,000, his sister Zhou Yun’s increasingly high hospital fees were also covered!

“100,000 Zhongxia Currency isn’t much.”

“When those top universities come to offer you special admissions, they might propose even more generous terms,” Luo Heng said with a smile, seeing Zhou Yi’s surprised expression.

“Top universities? Special admissions?” Zhou Yi looked at Luo Heng, puzzled.

“That’s right, special admissions!” Luo Heng laughed heartily. “With an S+ Rank talent and the hidden profession of Saint Knight, you already qualify for direct admission to the top universities in Zhongxia Country. I’ve already received notification from higher-ups that some of these universities will be coming tomorrow.”

After the grand miracle of the Holy Angel appeared in the afternoon, his phone had been ringing non-stop with calls from the Education Bureau!

The special admissions notification also came from the Education Bureau.

“Universities ranked high nationally? How high?” Zhou Yi couldn’t help but ask.

After the Eternal Game merged with reality, countries on Blue Star placed great emphasis on nurturing professionals.

Zhongxia Country was no exception, with nearly three thousand professional universities nationwide!

With such a large base, universities ranked in the top 50 and those in the top 20 were entirely different concepts.

“At least TOP 10!” Luo Heng waved his hand, his tone excited.

Teachers at TOP 10 universities were at least level 35 second-transfer professionals!

And tomorrow, not just one, but several top ten universities would be arriving simultaneously.

Just thinking about that scene filled him with immense pride.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi’s eyes also lit up.

Every university ranked in the top ten nationally was renowned.

If he could be specially admitted, he would receive the best training for the future!

“However, I don’t know exactly how many TOP 10 schools will come tomorrow. When you go home later, do some research yourself and see which one you want to choose.”

“Oh, and take this. Consider it my personal reward for bringing honor to our school.”

Luo Heng returned to his desk, took out a wooden box, and handed it over.

Zhou Yi was slightly taken aback.

But having lived two lives, he quickly understood.

This was a gesture of goodwill and an investment…

Understanding this, he quietly accepted the wooden box.

As the principal, Luo Heng had lowered his stance this much.

Refusing would not only embarrass him but also leave a bad impression.

Moreover, Principal Luo Heng had a good reputation, so accepting this gift wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Seeing Zhou Yi accept the gift he had carefully prepared, Luo Heng felt a slight relief.

With Zhou Yi’s potential as a Saint Knight in a hidden profession and soon to be specially admitted to a TOP 10 university, he was a strong prospect.

As long as he graduated smoothly, he was sure to become a level 30 second-transfer professional!

And if all went well, reaching level 40 wasn’t impossible!

By then, Zhou Yi would only be 22 years old…

A level 30 second-transfer professional could practically walk sideways in a small place like Lijiang.

Such a promising talent, he naturally wanted to invest in early and build a good relationship.

…

…

The normal dismissal time for the Second High School was 4 PM.

But because of today’s transfer ceremony, school ended early.

When Zhou Yi left the principal’s office and returned to the classroom, it was already empty.

So he didn’t linger, returned to his seat, grabbed his backpack, and left the classroom.

“Obtaining an S+ Rank talent, triggering a miracle, transferring to Saint Knight, receiving the school’s reward, and the principal’s goodwill.”

On his way home, Zhou Yi still felt that everything that happened today was somewhat surreal.

However, the sense of power within him and the ever-active light elements around him reminded him.

This was no dream.

“No matter what, I now have a brand new future.”

Zhou Yi’s eyes shone with determination.

The hellish beginning had been reversed; now it was up to him to manage his future.
