Martial Academy Special Enrollment Student, I've Arrived on Horseback!

"Sit down!"

Old Qin's face was as dark as charcoal as he pushed Fang Bai into a chair.

This kid was truly a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger!

He even wanted to go to the front lines! Let alone lacking professional training, even a seasoned high-level Martial Artist could be torn to shreds by Demonic Beasts on the front lines in an instant!

Fang Bai said innocently, "Old Qin, I really want to contribute to the great cause of humankind!"

If I don't kill more Demonic Beasts soon, I'm going to kick the bucket!

Director Liu chuckled, "Good, good, good! As expected of the youth! If all the young ones in the Martial Academy had your fighting spirit, our human race would be at peace!"

He stood up and said to the Principal, "Since this kid wants to join the Martial Academy, I'll take him."

The Principal looked troubled, "Uh, Director Liu, Fang Bai is the rising star of our Third Middle School! He's a good seed who will definitely get into Tsinghua and Peking Universities in the National Exam. To have him transferred away to your Martial Academy..."

Director Liu understood him perfectly and asked with a light smile, "So, what's your price?"

The Principal said seriously, "We need more money!"

"..."

Three days later, a transfer order came down, and all the necessary procedures were completed.

Fang Bai thus became a student of the Martial Academy.

His classmates watched curiously as Fang Bai packed his things.

One boy couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Brother Fang, where are you going?"

Fang Bai smiled, "Your Brother Fang is going to fight monsters and level up."

"Huh?"

Shen Lin watched Fang Bai's actions, bit her lip, and after thinking for a moment, decided to walk over, "Fang Bai, are you transferring schools?"

Fang Bai glanced at her and nodded faintly, "Mm."

Shen Lin hesitated and said, "Is it because of Gao Wang? Actually, if you just apologized to us properly, Gao Wang wouldn't have bothered you."

She thought Fang Bai was scared by Gao Wang's threat and had to transfer.

Fang Bai looked at her and said sincerely, "Classmate Shen Lin, your mental state is very good, please continue to maintain it!"

Shen Lin: "???"

Just then, Old Qin walked in.

As soon as he entered, the entire classroom fell silent.

It was clear that Old Qin had considerable prestige in the class.

Old Qin glanced around, then his gaze fell on Fang Bai, and he spoke, "Classmates, we won't have class today. Instead, we'll have a farewell ceremony."

"Classmate Fang Bai has awakened as a Martial Artist and has been accepted into the Martial Academy! Starting tomorrow, he will be studying at the Martial Academy."

As soon as this was said, the whole class erupted!

"What? What language is this? I don't understand!"

"Fang Bai awakened as a Martial Artist? Are you kidding me?"

"My heavens! Isn't being first in the grade enough? He's stacking buffs now? Is there any room left for others to live?!"

"The word 'envy' will accompany me for life..."

"Hiss! It's like a crane emerging from a chicken coop—standing out from the crowd!"

"Who the hell are you calling a chicken?!"

"..."

The quiet classroom was now in an uproar, and the school's broadcast also sounded at this moment—

"Warm congratulations to our school's Fang Bai for becoming a Special Enrollment Student at the Martial Academy! We wish Fang Bai a bright future!"

Fang Bai was a little speechless; this Principal was quite straightforward.

Meanwhile, Shen Lin's mind had gone blank, her head buzzing—

[Classmate Fang Bai has awakened as a Martial Artist!]

[Fang Bai, I already have a boyfriend, he's from the Martial Academy, and he's better than you!]

[Fang Bai, we are not from the same world.]

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed something.

In the afternoon, all the teachers and students of Third Middle School gathered at the school gate, their eyes fixed on one person.

Fang Bai turned to look at Old Qin and said, "Old Qin, I'm leaving."

Old Qin patted his shoulder with a complex expression and said, "This path is not easy. Remember, do everything within your capabilities. Staying alive is the most important thing."

Fang Bai said with a grin, "Of course! No one cherishes their life more than I do!"

The portly principal chuckled, "Little Bai, you need to work hard when you go to the Martial Academy. Don't bring shame to our Third Middle School!"

"Also, your student status has been reserved. Remember to come back in two and a half years for the National Exam!"

"Okay, Principal!"

Under the gaze of all the teachers and students, Fang Bai got into a minivan. The engine roared to life, and the vehicle sped away.

The principal's gaze was complex. "Alas, such a promising talent! I wonder if he'll make it back alive."

Old Qin sighed, "Indeed. The pressure from 'over the wall' is increasing daily, and the number of small pocket dimensions within the wall is also growing. We're severely understaffed. Those inexperienced rookies can only be pushed onto the battlefield to die. The situation is too difficult for humankind."

The principal shook his head and said, "We ordinary people can't interfere with these matters. Our job is to teach these children well... Speaking of which, when are you leaving?"

Old Qin narrowed his eyes. "Soon."

"Try for next year, or you'll lose your performance bonus this year."

"What? I, goddammit—"

"Are you saying... the Martial Academy's funding is this tight?"

Fang Bai sat on a worn-out seat, his expression a bit strange.

He had expected the Martial Academy to pick up new students in a luxury coach, or at the very least, a seven-seater van.

They sent him in a Wuling... and it was a beat-up one at that...

Anyone seeing this would think he was being taken to a pyramid scheme organization!

Director Liu awkwardly replied, "The Martial Academy's funding has indeed had some issues recently, but it's not a big problem. Besides, don't you think a manual transmission car is easier to drive?"

Fang Bai rolled his eyes. "I'm not driving, how would I know?"

Director Liu gave a sheepish smile and then said, "Alright, let's get back to business. Besides picking you up, there are others. They've also awakened Exotic Energy and are Quasi-Martial Artists, so we'll have to take a detour."

Fang Bai was a little surprised. "Director Liu, does the Martial Academy recruit all awakened individuals from the general population?"

A faint light flickered in Director Liu's eyes. He chuckled, "Of course not. The Martial Academy isn't a place anyone can enter. The first requirement to be admitted is that you're monstrously talented! The second... you need money!"

Fang Bai: "..."

"And in Dragon Country, the forces of awakened individuals aren't limited to the Martial Academy. There are other complex powers. It's normal that you're unaware of these things, living in the light. You'll understand when the time comes."

Fang Bai nodded. He looked out the window, the scenery constantly changing reflected in his eyes. A sense of anticipation surged within him.

The path of a Martial Artist, Fang Bai was coming for it!

"Oh, right, let me confirm again. You're directly applying for the second-year assessment, correct?" Director Liu suddenly asked.

Fang Bai nodded. "That's right!"

Back in the office, Fang Bai had already requested to take the second-year assessment.

Starting directly from the first year would be a waste of time for him.

Only children play the level-by-level challenge!

"Good! I hope you succeed." Director Liu gave a mysterious smile. "You've picked the right time to come."
