Anyway, the rumors were put to rest for now. This was when Link finally had a chance to talk about what happened during the day. "Actually, there's something I need to tell you. Today, the principal called me into his office..."
"Oh my god, did some girl get pregnant because of you?"
"Of course not." Hearing Lisa's words, Link quickly replied, "I'm always careful. Actually, the principal talked to me about school matters.
He said that a school called Wilmott Academy for Gifted Children is willing to accept me as a student there. As long as I can pass their test, they are willing to provide a full scholarship, plus living expenses."
"Really? That sounds great."
"It is a good opportunity. The only problem is that the school is in Dallas, which is over a three-hour drive away. So if I go, I'll need to stay there. But they also promised to find a local family to provide accommodation."
Robert thought for a moment and said, "Is that so? What do you think, Link?"
"Of course, I hope to seize this opportunity," Link said. "Dallas isn't actually that far from home. I can come back every weekend. And besides me, Sheldon will also be going, so we can keep each other company."
"That sounds good too," Lisa said. "Maybe we can go visit the school together."
"Of course, it's a good opportunity. But Link, are you confident about the school's test?"
"Of course, no problem. In fact, I'm very confident." As Link answered, he opened his attribute panel again.

Not to mention that the knowledge Link currently possessed already exceeded the high school level, based on Link's intelligence which had reached the genius level, he would be able to do very well even there.
After all, although it was called a genius academy, most of the students there had intelligence within the normal range. They were mostly children from families with good financial backgrounds.
There were indeed many geniuses in this world, but definitely not a lot. Perhaps people with some talent like Dan or Kevin would be there, but those with high intelligence like Peggy and Sheldon were probably rare in the entire world.
Regardless, before heading to Wilmott Academy for Gifted Children, Link made some preparations. After all, the prerequisite for receiving a full scholarship was passing the tests at Wilmott Academy.
For the tests, Link's family went together with Sheldon's family, so they had company.
The tests were divided into two parts: an interview and a written exam. The difficulty of the written exam far exceeded that of a normal Ninth Grade student, even reaching the level of a high school graduation test.
Besides these knowledge tests, there were also some IQ tests, but these were not much of a challenge for either Link or Sheldon.
After the written exam, several teachers interviewed the two of them, and the results were released quickly.
Because the full scholarship spots were involved, the school principal, Dr. Flora Douglas, personally met with the two of them for interviews.
Perhaps because Sheldon's scores were better, he was the first to be seen. Coach George and Mary accompanied him:
"I must say, I've worked here for many years, but I've never seen teachers collectively write such highly praised recommendation letters. Let's look at the recommendation letter for Sheldon:
Besides his extraordinary intelligence, Sheldon is a treasure in the classroom. He is humorous and cheerful, approachable, and always willing to help."
Sheldon was also taken aback when he heard this, and then said, "That sounds absolutely nothing like me!"
"Of course it does, dear," Mary quickly pulled Sheldon closer when she heard this, and then said to the principal, "Dr. Douglas."
"Please just call me Flora."
It must be said that Principal Flora valued Sheldon highly. A top student could bring many benefits to the school.
Sheldon's IQ was extremely rare globally, so even though she could tell there was something fishy, she didn't care at all. Instead, she acted very friendly.
"Okay, Flora, I'd like to ask about the accommodation. This is what we are most concerned about."
"You can rest assured about this matter. My husband and I have always provided accommodation for students. Just now, a student graduated and went to Princeton University, so our guest room is now empty."
"That's great." Coach George also knew that there would be many benefits if they could stay at the principal's house. "Does your husband also teach at the school?"
"No, he's retired. He used to be an astrophysicist at the Space Agency."
Sheldon took this opportunity to ask the question he was concerned about: "Please tell me you don't have a dog."
"Of course, we are both allergic to dogs."
Seeing that the problem he feared most, dogs, had been resolved, Sheldon turned to Mary and said, "I can't wait."
Mary knew she couldn't stop Sheldon at this point. She thought for a moment and finally asked, "May I be so bold as to ask a question?"
"Please do."
"The Bennett family who came with us, their son Link Bennett, did he also pass your tests?"
"Of course, his scores are right here with me. Due to a small mistake, his test scores didn't reach the perfect score like Sheldon's, and his IQ test was also slightly inferior to Sheldon's, but he is still in the genius category, so we have decided to admit him."
"In that case, I wonder if you could let him live with Sheldon. You know, Sheldon is still too young, just turned ten, and I'm worried he won't adapt easily to a new life.
Link was Sheldon's good friend at his previous school and has always looked after Sheldon, so I think letting the two of them live together will help Sheldon adapt better to the new environment..."
"For me, of course, it's no problem. It's just my husband and I at home, and having one more person will make it livelier. Have you discussed this with Link before?"
"Of course, we discussed it with Link and his parents when we came."
"Very good, it seems all the problems are solved."
The subsequent meeting between Link and the principal was simpler. Robert and Mary were fully supportive of Link attending such a top private middle school and had no objections to him boarding.
This meant that Link was about to start a brand new high school life.
