When morning came, Feng Qi and Mo Fei headed straight for the School Cafeteria.
This meal, Feng Qi ate three times his usual amount, leaving Mo Fei dumbfounded and declaring him the reincarnation of Taotie.
When they arrived at the classroom, nearly half the students had already come early. After Feng Qi and Mo Fei returned to their seats, they began reviewing the exam material.
Eight in the morning.
Wang Jinsheng hurried into the classroom and walked up to the podium. Then, with a smile, he looked at the students and said:
"I have a new announcement. Before the graduation exams begin, some outstanding students from our school will have the opportunity to visit and study at a Higher Academy. One student from our class has received this honor."
As soon as Wang Jinsheng finished speaking, the students all turned to look at Feng Qi.
"What if it isn't me?" Feng Qi asked with an awkward smile.
At that, the entire class raised their middle fingers at him.
"Show-off gets struck by lightning!"
"Ptooey! If it's not you, I'll wash my hair upside down. Excessive modesty is just showing off."
"Quiet. Now, let's announce the student selected from our class." As he spoke, Wang Jinsheng pulled a crumpled sheet of paper from his pocket. After spreading it out and smoothing it flat, he read aloud:
"Our class's Feng Qi has earned the qualification to visit and study at Star City Academy!"
There was no applause. Every student considered it only natural.
After taking the visitation letter from Wang Jinsheng, Feng Qi maintained a calm expression, drawing another wave of jeers.
Feng Qi was not surprised at all that he had received a spot to visit and study at a Higher Academy. After all, his grades had ranked first in the class for years, without a single rival.
The only regret was that he had not drawn the Galaxy Academy he wanted to apply to.
It was not that Star City Academy was inferior to Galaxy Academy. In some areas, Star City Academy was even stronger than Galaxy Academy, such as Combat Art Studies and Physical Arts Studies.
However, for Cultivation Method Research, the field Feng Qi wanted to pursue, Galaxy Academy was still stronger. That was why he had chosen Galaxy Academy.
"Feng Qi, go back and pack your luggage. Report to the school gate later. The rest of you, continue reviewing." After finishing the announcement, Wang Jinsheng crumpled the paper into a ball, stuffed it back into his trouser pocket, and turned to leave the classroom.
"Tsk, tsk. Star City Academy is a great place. I heard the senior girls there are incredibly pretty. You're in for a treat, but remember to take precautions. Don't come back carrying a baby."
Looking at Mo Fei's mischievous grin, Feng Qi was speechless.
"I'm only going for two weeks. Could the baby I brought back possibly be mine?"
"Hahaha, no big deal!"
"Get lost!"
After leaving the classroom, Feng Qi returned to the dormitory.
He began sorting out the things he needed to bring, then wheeled his suitcase toward the school gate.
More than ten buses were already parked outside the school gate. The windshield of each bus bore a sign naming the Cultivation Academy it was headed for.
Besides that, Wang Jinsheng and a group of teachers were already waiting there.
When he saw Feng Qi arrive, Wang Jinsheng smiled and said:
"That blue school bus is headed to Star City Academy. Study hard once you get there. Learn as much as you can; it'll help you in the future."
"Old Wang, did you pull strings to send me to Star City Academy? Is there some inside story?"
Feng Qi had learned that Wang Jinsheng had graduated from Star City Academy, so he could not help feeling suspicious.
"Do I really have that much influence? This time, the academy assignments were determined by lottery. The results were completely random. Besides, Star City Academy is one of the top hundred academies. You think you've been wronged?" Wang Jinsheng could not help glaring at Feng Qi's suspicious expression.
"No, I was just asking."
As they waited, the students who had earned visitation spots gradually arrived. Once everyone was present, the school leaders began their speech.
What they wanted to say was nothing more than that the students should study hard and not behave improperly at the Higher Academies... A whole bunch of rambling that Feng Qi did not listen to at all.
After speaking for half an hour, the school leaders finally put down the microphone reluctantly and turned to leave.
At that moment, Wang Jinsheng looked at Feng Qi and said:
"Get on the bus. Remember not to embarrass me out there."
Feng Qi nodded and wheeled his luggage over to the blue school bus. After stuffing his suitcase into the luggage compartment, he found an empty seat and sat down.
To his surprise, he was apparently the only one going to Star City Academy for the visit and study program. Even after waiting for a while, no other students boarded the bus.
About ten minutes later, the driver started the school bus and slowly drove out through the school gate.
The scenery outside the window felt both familiar and strange to Feng Qi, who had not left the school grounds in a long time.
The school bus driver was a greasy middle-aged man. With one hand on the steering wheel, he sped down the road, constantly overtaking other vehicles. Every so often, he rolled down the window to curse viciously at cars outside, insulting their ancestors for eighteen generations and putting on a real-life version of Fast and Furious.
The sight left Feng Qi dumbfounded. He muttered to himself that driving a school bus was truly wasting this driver.
With that temperament, he should have been driving tanks or planes.
Since Star City Academy was located within Star City itself, after speeding along the whole way, Feng Qi reached his destination in less than two hours.
