Transfer Student

Bai Pu almost spat out his rice.

"That's because you're a lovesick fool!"

Li Ling pressed the communication light screen of her personal terminal with a "beep" and said to Bai Pu, "Sorry, I tried to contact several schools for you, but none were successful."

"Not successful?" Bai Pu was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "What did they say?"

"You didn't graduate from junior high school, so you're not qualified to attend high school, let alone go straight to the third year of high school."

Li Ling clearly sneered at this reason, "It's ridiculous, you're applying for the combat class, not the culture class! You've already successfully Awakened, and you're still not qualified? This is clearly an excuse!"

"It's indeed abnormal." Bai Pu swallowed a mouthful of grilled meat, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said, "It should be the Superpower Corporation using its connections to retaliate against me."

Schools in the Spirit Energy Era, because of the existence of combat classes and combat majors, have a relatively high demand for Spirit Energy Points and Spirit Energy items.

Although there are educational appropriations, they are only a drop in the bucket. If you want to create a strong combat major, you also need social donations.

Only local powerful forces can afford to donate Awakened training resources.

The Superpower Corporation is such a local powerful force. It has deep roots in the Jiangnan District and is a powerful local tyrant.

Usually, out of some consideration of interests, the Superpower Corporation will donate money and goods to public institutions such as schools and hospitals. It has a great influence in various schools in the Jiangnan District.

Some time ago, the Superpower Corporation accused Bai Pu of stealing a serious crime, which caused a lot of uproar. Bai Pu's real-world popularity was rushed to C-level. The leaders of various schools in the Jiangnan District, who didn't know about it?

Even without the senior management of the Superpower Corporation speaking, the various schools in the Jiangnan District, in order not to offend this God of Wealth, would naturally shut Bai Pu out.

Li Ling is a Captain. As a member of the God Strategy Army, she often represents the Great Tang Group in business negotiations. She has some face in the Jiangnan District.

However, the God Strategy Army has a military background, and has almost no acquaintances in the local civil affairs and education departments, so its influence is naturally very small; its donations to various schools are far less than those of the Superpower Corporation.

Anyway, Bai Pu doesn't have a junior high school diploma, so no one can find fault with refusing him admission.

"Sister Ling, which schools did you ask?" Bai Pu asked.

"Jiangda High School, Xi City No. 1 High School, West Lake High School..." Li Ling said expressionlessly, reeling off the names of seven or eight schools in a row.

"They're all good schools." Bai Pu heard these familiar school names. When he was in junior high school, many classmates yearned for these high schools.

"Your cultural foundation is too poor, so of course I want to pick a good high school for you."

Li Ling rubbed her forehead, "The college entrance examination, even the 'Awakened Exam', includes cultural course scores. Now there are less than two months left before the college entrance examination... Or, you can consider taking the college entrance examination next year?"

"That's okay, Xiao Bai Pu is 17 this year, and 18 next year, not over the age limit." Su Xiaoxiao agreed and turned her head to Bai Pu and said, "You have such high comprehension, you will definitely learn quickly, and the possibility of getting into a good university next year will definitely increase greatly!"

"Two sisters, there is one thing you haven't figured out..." Bai Pu shook his head and said, "I'm not taking the college entrance examination to go to university... I'm taking the college entrance examination because of the threat from the Superpower Corporation! After all, the risk of assassinating an ordinary Awakened is completely different from assassinating a top scorer in the college entrance examination. What's the point of waiting a year to participate? The Superpower Corporation will still attack me unscrupulously within this year!"

"But if you participate this year, there will be less than two months of preparation time. Can you get the top score in the college entrance examination? The number of Awakened who participate in the college entrance examination every year will not be less than 100,000! The competition is unimaginable."

Li Ling shook her head and said, "I feel that it is more feasible to find a way to apply for long-term publicity resources to increase your world popularity."

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, "Publicity resources are also one of the rewards exchanged for Honor Points, and they must be approved by the higher-ups. Without Honor Points, directly tilting publicity resources will definitely cause objections from others. Unless Xiao Bai Pu can join the army and become a professional soldier, but he won't be so free in the future."

If an organization wants to become bigger and stronger, it must have rules and regulations. The God Strategy Army is not the kind of small workshop-style Awakened family, but a large organization that can enter the Class A League, and the possibility of making an exception for Bai Pu is very small.

"There should be more than just these schools in the Jiangnan District."

Bai Pu didn't want to lose his freedom, so he turned the topic back, "Actually, I just need to get the college entrance examination qualification, it doesn't matter which school I go to."

"Are you that confident?" Li Ling looked at Bai Pu doubtfully, "Don't think that just because you are an Awakened, you can easily become the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Awakening before the age of 18 is considered a one-in-a-hundred genius, but considering the millions of combat-type examinees in the entire China, how many such geniuses will there be?"

The Spirit Realm Trial is eliminatory in nature. Those who fail for the first time will have their difficulty increased by an additional 30% next time. Therefore, combat-type students are cautious about taking the Awakened Trial. Not only must their strength meet the standard, but their minds must also be mature, and their knowledge reserves, vision, and strategies are indispensable!

Most Awakened awaken after entering university, around the age of 20. Only a small number of young geniuses have the confidence to attempt awakening before the college entrance examination, so those who can successfully awaken before the age of 18 are one-in-a-hundred geniuses.

But the base number is huge! The Spirit Energy Era has developed to this day and has already formed a set of effective Awakened training systems, especially for those "strong second generations." There are many sixteen or seventeen-year-olds whose total four-dimensional attributes reach the critical value of 20 points!

With such a base, every year there are more than 100,000 genius examinees who awaken early—of course, most of them are standard template ordinary professions.

What is truly terrifying are those elite strong second generations, who are carefully cultivated from a young age. Perseverance, knowledge, and power strategies are all taught by specialized teachers. After their attributes meet the standard, their families will also provide them with a good set of equipment!

Fully armed from the outside to the inside, awakening is naturally a matter of course, and the probability of failure is still very small. The goal of the elite strong second generations is not simply to pass the trial, but to obtain a better promotion template, starting higher than others from the beginning.

Awakened examinees participating in the college entrance examination can form an absolute crushing force against other ordinary combat-type examinees.

Therefore, under the college entrance examination system, Awakened and non-Awakened are two completely different "papers." Non-Awakened do the "Ordinary Exam," and Awakened take the "Awakened Exam."

The Awakened Exam is not a simple test paper. In addition to cultural subjects, it also includes simulated combat subjects, and even Spirit Realm exploration subjects! Of course, the top scorer in the college entrance examination will only come from the "Awakened Exam." Even if non-Awakened make the "Ordinary Exam" perfect, they will not be able to get the top score, because the Ordinary Exam will not be ranked together with the Awakened Exam at all.

This is not unfair, because being able to awaken early proves the excellence of the Awakened examinees!

"I understand, I'm just trying." Bai Pu smiled.

"The feeling you give me is not just trying..." Li Ling muttered, thought for a while, and said, "If you only need a college entrance examination qualification, you can enter my alma mater. Let me remind you, my alma mater is not a famous school."

"Whether it's a famous school or not is not important, as long as it allows me to transfer and obtain the college entrance examination qualification." Bai Pu confirmed again, "Sister Ling, which high school is your alma mater? Does it not need to please the Superpower Corporation?"

"Hey, it's just a rural high school, how could it catch the eye of the Superpower Corporation."

Li Ling said, "The school's name is... Xi City Seventeenth High School."
