"What is wrong with you?" Xiao Wu poked her head out from behind him and said with dissatisfaction, "Who turns away prospective students like that?"
"What would you know?" The old man sat back down in his chair.
He had already taken out an envelope and begun writing a recommendation letter himself.
"A genius student like this would be wasted here. It would be better to send him to the Good and Evil Academy..."
"Right, young man, what is your name?" the old man asked while scribbling away furiously.
"Old man, don't be so hasty! I still have three companions behind me." Du Hao quickly reached out to stop him, but the old man's grip was incredibly strong; he didn't even budge.
The situation had now exceeded his expectations.
"Young man, no rush. Let me finish writing your recommendation letter first!" The old man's attitude was so resolute that it seemed he was determined to drag this genius off to the Good and Evil Academy today.
Seeing this, Du Hao knew he couldn't keep messing around, so he hurriedly said, "Stop writing, sir! We are here to join Shrek Academy. We were brought here by Principal Flender himself."
"Hm?" The old man's hand, busy scribbling, paused. He looked up at the young man before him, his face full of suspicion.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure. Please, sir, call off your magic!" Du Hao, finally breathing a sigh of relief, said quickly.
His tone was so sincere he might as well have sworn an oath to the heavens.
He didn't want to leave Nuoding City only to fall under the jurisdiction of the Judgment Society.
Even though that group of lunatics was his own creation, he really didn't want to have anything to do with them!
The academy he attended previously had been interfered with by the Judgment Society, and it had made his life a living hell.
An academy founded by the Judgment Society itself? Wouldn't that be on par with Hengshui High School from his past life?
He had no desire to face a life where he had to be in class before the sun even rose...
"In that case, forget it then."
Since these were students brought in by the principal himself, he shouldn't try to poach them. It wouldn't be good if he ended up being targeted for retaliation... Besides, it was only one person.
Seeing the old man finally abandon the idea of sending him to the Good and Evil Academy, Du Hao let out a long sigh of relief.
He had almost been forced to relive the life of a beast of burden from his past life.
"Old man, I still have three companions." Fearing the old man might pull another stunt, Du Hao quickly added, "We were all brought here by the principal. We really aren't going to any other academy!"
"Fine then..." The old man curled his lip.
A moment later, the little old man was completely losing his composure!
"This, this, this! Level 29, another genius!"
"Level 29..."
"Level 29! Still level 29! Are you all monsters?"
"Haha, I can't take it! No matter what, I have to get you all to the Good and Evil Academy today!"
The old man had completely abandoned all decorum, kicking the table in front of him far away.
"Staying here is simply ruining talent!"
"Today, I am taking you to the Good and Evil Academy myself!" His gaze was so burning and intense, it was as if he had just spotted a secret lover at the edge of the village.
He looked absolutely manic!
"Sir, we were recruited by Principal Flender..." Tang San, sensing that things were going south, spoke up urgently.
Tang San really did not want to go to a place like the Judgment Society; going there would be pure torture.
He couldn't even handle the intensity at Nuoding City Academy, let alone an academy established by the Judgment Society itself.
People would actually die there!
"Flender? He's nothing!" The old man curled his lip in disdain and then said arrogantly, "He's not worth a damn. Besides, he isn't even at the academy today. We'll just act like you never came here!"
"Be good and come with me..." With the principal away, he was invincible!
"And you lot, you haven't seen these four people today, understand?" As he spoke, the old man glared at the people waiting in line, his tone threatening.
"Understood, understood," the crowd in line replied in unison.
Just as everyone was about to comply, a voice suddenly rang out from behind the old man: "Li Yusong, I don't understand!"
"Who doesn't understand? Come out and fight me!" Caught up in his excitement, Li Yusong had completely lost his mind.
He turned around immediately, ready to teach the person behind him a lesson and show him exactly why the flowers were so red.
As a result... the first thing he saw upon turning around was a fist flying straight toward his face!
Immediately after, with a dull thud!
Li Yusong, who had been acting so arrogant just a moment ago, fell straight to the ground, enjoying a high-quality sleep.
"Pah! I was the one who dragged you into the Judgment Society back then; I never expected you to dare poach students from the academy." The newcomer spat fiercely at Li Yusong on the ground.
A muscular man over two and a half meters tall, with knotted muscles, stepped over the unconscious Li Yusong and walked over.
His towering figure instantly blocked the light above the four little ones, his gaze sweeping back and forth across them.
"I am Zhao Wuji. Are you the genius students Flender recruited?" A muffled, resonant voice escaped Zhao Wuji's mouth.
"That's right, I am..."
Just as Du Hao was about to introduce himself, Zhao Wuji waved his hand to stop him.
"I've already seen your information, so there's no need for introductions."
"This isn't the place to talk. I'll take you to the fourth test first." As he spoke, he nodded to a teacher who had followed behind him.
"Old Lu, you hold the fort for a bit. I'm taking these little guys to the back first."
"Alright, you go ahead." The teacher, who had already moved the table and chairs back to their original positions, gave an OK gesture.
After Zhao Wuji and the five of them left, the crowd in line began to register and submit their recommendation letters in an orderly fashion again, as if nothing had happened.
Only, next to the registration desk, there was an extra old man sleeping on the ground, impossible to wake up no matter what.
Li Yusong: "zzzzzzz"
Over here, Zhao Wuji led the four of them to an open space before finally coming to a stop.
"I already understand your situation, but before you enroll, there is one final test."
Zhao Wuji, grinning foolishly, rubbed his crew cut and spoke truthfully.
"Is it just the four of us?" Du Hao asked.
"If no one else comes along, then it should just be you four." Zhao Wuji shrugged, not feeling surprised by this.
The academy's enrollment requirements were inherently very strict.
This was even with their teachers collectively joining the Judgment Society, which provided a large influx of students.
Otherwise, with only a cat or two, they would be lucky to recruit even one person each year.
"Alright, enough talk." Zhao Wuji cleared his throat a few times and began to explain the upcoming rules.
"You only need to hold out against me for the duration of one incense stick! Success brings rewards, failure brings punishment! It's that simple!" After finishing, he looked at the group.
"Now is your time to discuss. Once you're done, we can begin." He stood there with his arms crossed, waiting quietly for them to deliberate.
Just as the group was about to discuss their tactics, a man and a woman happened to walk over from the distance!
The white-haired youth walking in front was none other than Dai Mubai, whom Du Hao had one-shot with a green onion yesterday, and he was followed by a pink-haired girl.
"Teacher Zhao, there is one more new student here..."
