Three Low Youths

Chapter 45: The Three-Low Youth

"Don't fight with classmates at school, keep a low profile." Han Jiangxue, in the passenger seat, spoke more than ever before, making Xia Yan laugh uncontrollably.

Ever since Xia Yan had "disciplined" Jiang Xiao in his room, her mood had clearly improved.

Jiang Xiao sat in the back seat, his elbow propped against the window frame, watching the world outside. After many years, he was going back to school.

"Jiangbin No. 1 High School isn't just for Awakened students like us; there are many ordinary students too. Regardless of their type, at this age, most children are competitive and jealous. Keeping a low profile will always benefit you." Han Jiangxue finished speaking, but after a long pause, there was no response.

Han Jiangxue reached out and adjusted the angle of the rearview mirror on the roof of the car.

"Hey, I can't see the road behind me anymore," Xia Yan said urgently.

"Then use the side mirrors," Han Jiangxue replied coldly. She raised her eyes and saw Jiang Xiao's utterly dejected expression through the front rearview mirror.

Han Jiangxue said softly, "Annoyed?"

Jiang Xiao snapped back to attention and quickly said, "No, I was just spacing out."

"Mm," Han Jiangxue replied casually and stopped speaking.

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth, thought for a long time, and said, "Right, I wanted to tell you two something. My Blessing Star Technique has reached Silver Quality."

Screech! The heavy Land Rover braked sharply.

Xia Yan turned her head, her beautiful eyes bright, gazing intently at Jiang Xiao. "Really?"

Jiang Xiao looked out the window and sighed softly, "Heh, women."

Xia Yan: "..."

Around 5 PM, the vehicle slowly stopped at the school entrance.

As soon as Jiang Xiao got out of the car, he heard the sound of ghostly wailing singing.

Amidst the almost monotone singing, Jiang Xiao recognized a few lyrics and realized it was "Unity is Strength."

Jiang Xiao curiously approached the main gate and looked inside. He saw children in green military uniforms singing loudly, standing in neat formations, performing countless duets towards the cafeteria.

An old man at the entrance of the cafeteria sat leisurely on a chair, fanning himself, watching these children who seemed eager to be fed. He appeared to be quite enjoying himself.

"Let's go, time to report," Han Jiangxue patted Jiang Xiao's shoulder.

"How about... I report by myself?" Jiang Xiao tried to suggest.

Han Jiangxue was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, then Xia Yan and I will go in first. You go directly to the fourth floor of Teaching Building A and find Director Gao. He knows you're coming."

"Xiao Pi, Xiao Pi," Xia Yan grabbed Han Jiangxue's arm, blew a kiss at Jiang Xiao, "You're the best! I'll be waiting for you in Third Year of High School~"

Jiang Xiao's face stiffened.

Third Year of High School! Third Year of High School! Damn it.

After coming to this bizarre world, what had he even done? Struggled to survive in the ice and snow, and then returned to school to be directly promoted to Third Year of High School? As for the coursework, if he thought about it carefully, he should still be able to keep up if he studied hard.

But the study intensity of Third Year of High School was completely different from First and Second Year. Was he starting in hell mode? Why wasn't he reborn as a college student?

Life, it's truly... interesting! Awakened individuals also have the College Entrance Examination. Any higher education institution has very high requirements for academic performance. The difference is that the College Entrance Examination for Awakened individuals also includes a special practical combat subject.

Of course, if your goal isn't a higher education institution but an ordinary college, you wouldn't have to live so hard.

There's a reason they're called higher education institutions. Both resources and opportunities are far better in higher education institutions than in ordinary ones.

School, region, and various other factors influence a child's future development.

If Jiang Xiao didn't care much about face, with his identity as a Medical Awakened, he wouldn't worry about not being wanted in the future.

Face, should he want it or not? Hmm, let fate decide. After stating his identity to the school gatekeeper and swearing to the gate that he wasn't a hooligan trailing two girls, the gate was quite accommodating and didn't crush Jiang Xiao to death. The gatekeeper, big brother, finally let Jiang Xiao in.

Teaching Building A was easy to find. Jiangbin No. 1 High School only had two teaching buildings. Students in First and Second Year of High School were in the building near the school gate, which was the so-called Teaching Building A.

As for the Third Year of High School students, they were in Teaching Building B. One had to cross the sports field and the dormitory buildings, traversing mountains and rivers, to see Teaching Building B hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

Jiang Xiao went straight to the fourth floor and found Director Gao in his office.

Director Gao was a middle-aged man around 40 years old, about 173cm tall. He wasn't tall, had dark skin, and wore a pair of rimless glasses, adding a touch of scholarly aura to his dark face.

"You're Jiang Xiaopi? The child from the medical department?" Director Gao Aimin scrutinized Jiang Xiao from head to toe, looking disbelieving.

This seemed to be a common trait among teachers.

They looked at any student with a suspicious gaze.

They held a skeptical attitude towards anything a student said.

Jiang Xiao made up his mind that he must perform well in the exams, at least to change the teachers' attitude towards him.

As for giving gifts, Jiang Xiao was indeed willing but unable. He had no source of income. After Han Jiangxue stopped him from being a barefoot doctor last time, he could only earn a hundred or two hundred by selling White Ghoul corpses. Making big money seemed like something for the future.

Moreover, he always went on missions with Han Jiangxue. The money from the official recycling of White Ghoul corpses was naturally given to Han Jiangxue.

Although Jiang Xiao didn't earn money, he could spend it. "Yes," Jiang Xiao's face was full of obedience.

"Delayed your reporting time and military training because you went to the Snowy Plains for training?" Director Gao Aimin sat in his chair, tapping his desk, looking as if he doubted the world.

Training?

You just didn't want to do military training, right?

These kids nowadays can tell three lies in one sentence.

After all, Han Jiangxue had directly requested leave from the principal, while Director Gao had only received a message passed down from superiors.

"Yes," Jiang Xiao continued obediently.

"Let me see your Star Chart," Director Gao requested.

Jiang Xiao activated his Star Power, and a beautiful Star Chart appeared on his body.

The Star Power of the Star Dust Stage was still in dust form, with specks of starlight illuminating the Star Chart, connecting nine Star Slots.

And the first three of those nine Star Slots were inlaid with three Silver Quality Star Beads, emitting a faint glow.

Gao Aimin: ???

For a moment, Gao Aimin's expression was incredibly complex, unsure whether it was shock or regret.

Only 9 Star Slots? Was this a one-in-a-hundred medical student with low aptitude? Good heavens, this was incredible.

Jiang Xiao had indeed used 3 Skill Points on the White Ghoul Witch's Star Techniques. Currently, the Blessing and Lure Star Techniques had just been upgraded to Silver Quality.

If nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Xiao's Blessing Star Technique would remain at the Silver stage for a considerable period. In the future, if he obtained a White Ghoul Witch Star Bead, he could absorb it normally without fearing the trouble caused by a sudden quality upgrade.

Moreover, at this stage of explosive Physical Fitness and surging Star Power, Jiang Xiao could increase his total Star Power through his own efforts. However, Star Techniques were something he couldn't improve through personal effort.

Since Jiang Xiao had enrolled with Star Techniques, Gao Aimin casually asked, "What Star Techniques are they?"

In Gao Aimin's mind, he had already guessed Jiang Xiao's Star Techniques. What else could they be?

Weren't they just the Silver Quality Star Techniques available on the market?

To his surprise, Jiang Xiao's answer completely stunned Gao Aimin.

Jiang Xiao said, "Blessing, Cyan Glow, and Bell Chime."

Gao Aimin asked foolishly, "Blessing and Cyan Glow are Bronze Quality. How do you have three Silver Star Techniques?"

Jiang Xiao presented his prepared explanation: "My parents left them for me."

Gao Aimin's expression instantly changed, and he became much more amiable. "Jiang surname, who are your parents?"

This is too realistic, you bastard! "They went missing on a mission three years ago," Jiang Xiao replied, without mentioning his parents' names.

"Then who took you to the Snowy Plains for training?" Gao Aimin continued to press.

"Han Jiangxue," Jiang Xiao thought for a moment, then added, "My sister."

"Han Jiangxue's brother, the Han family from the pioneering team? You took your mother's surname?" Gao Aimin finally softened his demeanor, but then sighed with regret, "What a pity, only 9 Star Slots."

Immediately after, Gao Aimin became somewhat bewildered: Damn it, weren't you supposed to be a low-aptitude, low-potential prodigy with only 9 Star Slots? What kind of rotten luck did you have to absorb three Silver Quality Star Techniques?

Unable to figure it out, Gao Aimin's gaze slowly became fervent, and he had already made a judgment about Jiang Xiao.

This kid's aptitude is extremely low, but he's quite lucky.

This is clearly a child who lacks follow-through and won't grow much.

But for Gao Aimin, it didn't matter if this child could grow in the future, as Jiang Xiao would have already graduated from high school by then.

From the early stages, Jiang Xiao is very strong!

Who cares about his later development? Gao Aimin couldn't be bothered to worry about low growth and low aptitude in the future.

Let's just focus on the present. These three Star Techniques are enough. Find a good teacher to properly train Jiang Xiao's combat skills, and our First Year team will definitely have a chance in this year's Jiangbin City High School League!

Jiang Xiao felt very uncomfortable looking at Gao Aimin's suddenly fervent gaze.

Where was the sacred and pure campus sanctuary he was promised?

This old guy is terrifyingly realistic.

Thanks to Rexxxx for the generous reward, Da Meng, I don't want to work hard anymore, pat pat pat()(._.`)
