"Gathering intelligence is the key to this Exchange Competition."
Principal Yan felt rather pleased with his own cleverness.
Old Yue was the same as ever, only knowing how to brute-force things instead of using his head.
"Understood!" the Capital University elites replied in unison.
Ye Qin, the vice-captain leading them, smiled bitterly to herself.
She had long since figured out how strong Imperial Capital University's ace was.
