《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 135: Champion
Advertisement
At the computer room.
Old Gu, Old Chen, and the few school leaders were all there.
They looked even more excited than Su Hao and the others.
It was no wonder.
There were simply too many outstanding students from An City First High this year.
Since the school had produced results, teachers and school leaders like them would be rewarded by the higher-ups.
Next year, the school would also receive more educational resources.
As long as they could maintain the momentum of their rise for a few years, An City's educational level would likely rank among the upper-middle class in Tiannan Province.
The school leader looked at them and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.
A few years later.
When First High invited the students back as honorary alumni, some of them might already have a higher social status than school leaders like them.
The young would surpass them in time.
At this moment…
The computers had started.
The cameraman gave each person a personal shot, before finally moving to the official website interface.
"You can check your marks now."
A school leader whom Su Hao didn't know said after glancing at his watch.
The computers in the Sprite stream's campus computer room were much more equipped than those in the ordinary campus.
Even so…
Su Hao refreshed it a few more times before he entered the search page and entered his identity information.
Looking at the circle symbols loading on the page, Su Hao was more or less a little nervous.
A few days ago, he did some calculations calmly.
In the combat test, he was first and got full marks.
But that was based on his ranking. He wasn't much higher than the second and third place.
He was also first place in the second stage, but there were quite a lot of people who scored full marks too.
And the written test…
He was the top scholar of An City, but not the top scholar of the province.
In the whole of Tiannan Province, he was barely in the top ten.
"There are too many straight As students."
"I've deducted too many marks from my Chinese Literature paper, and the six sprite subjects are too easy. I can't widen the difference in marks, I can't widen the difference in marks."

He was a little worried.
What if…
What if I'm not the top scholar in Tiannan Province?
He didn't worry for too long.
Because his marks were out.
[Name: Su Hao]
[Examination license number: XXX… XXX]
[Contracted Sprite(s): Reverie Butterfly, Flaming Cloud Crow, Water Cloud Horse]
[written test: 97.9 (100)]
[Stage 2 Examination:
Spiritual Force Test: 50 (50);
Sprite Battle assessment: 50 (50)]
[Combat Examination: 1st, 100 (100)]
[Total score: 99.37 (100)]
[Remarks: The first stage has a 30% weightage, the second stage has a 20% weightage and the third stage has a 50% weightage in the Sprite Cultivators College Entrance Examination;]
Furthermore…
Su Hao saw what was written at the end.
First in the province!
Provincial champion!
...
After more than half an hour, Su Hao walked out of the computer room a little exhausted.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He felt very tired.
It was much more troublesome to deal with reporters' questions than to take part in the combat test.
"Mr. Su Hao, I heard that you wake up at four in the morning every day. This has been going on for an entire year."
"Mr. Su Hao, I heard that in order to buy the resources for cultivating sprites, you work four jobs a day, and your studies didn't fall behind at all…"
"Mr. Su Hao, I heard…"
The reporters asked.
The school leaders kept praising him.
What could he say?
He could only agree with them.
Be an emotionless nodding tool.
...
Su family.
The new house located in the neighborhood of Sprite Trainers' families in the city center.
His parents had just received a call from their son.
College Entrance Examination, provincial champion.
"Yes, top scholar."
Mother Su said calmly.
After experiencing promotions, salaries, visits from leaders, and so on, they were only a little shocked.
"Dad! Hao'er really got first place, provincial champion!!"
After being calm for half a minute, Mother Su picked up her phone and decided to share the news with her good friend.
"Hello, Sister Chen, isn't your Nanluo taking part in the Sprite Cultivation Examination this year? How are her results?"
"She got into a Sprite University? Congratulations."
"What? My Hao'er, sigh, his marks are pretty good. He said he scored 99.37, and it seems like he's number one in some province. Sigh, I didn't ask him to get such high marks, just staying safe is enough. But he's indeed very hardworking."

Mother Su casually sighed, wondering how hard her son had worked.
After hanging up, she called another number.
"Hello, Mother Hao Hao… Hey, right, the College Entrance Examination results just came out… The child said that he wants to enroll in Whale Island University…"
"Yes, it's the university with the highest cutoff score. We don't really understand too… marks? I heard that his marks exceeded the estimated cutoff score by quite a lot…"
"I didn't expect our child to be so outstanding. The TV station has already interviewed him, and the news will be broadcasted tonight…"
Father Su wasn't as excited as Mother Su.
He just calmly called his relatives.
To treat them to a meal.
The reason?
Oh… Su Hao became the provincial champion.
Father Su and Mother Su were extremely proud and happy.
During his first and second years of high school, Su Hao's grades could only be considered above average.
It was alright.
However, among their friends' children, there were some who had very good academic grades. They would always show off their children's grades at every gathering.
Mother Su wanted to show off.
But she held it in.
They didn't know anything about the monthly, final and joint examination results. Those who didn't pay attention to the Sprite stream didn't understand what was going on.
So Mother Su held back a big move.
College Entrance Examination, top scholar!
Explosive news!
She showed off everything in one go.
Father Su and Mother Su felt much better than receiving a promotion and a raise.
...
On the campus of First High.
Su Hao enjoyed his last quiet moments.
After all…
When he return to the campus in the future, he would probably be… a big boss.
He couldn't live such a peaceful life anymore.
"How did Liu Ren, Chen Qi and the others do?"
Su Hao was familiar with his former classmates from Year 1 and Year 2.
Chen Qi, Zhou Yuze, and Ma Ruomei also chose Sprite stream. Their relationships were the closest.
They had a small gathering a few days ago.
Chen Qi's grades were better, and he could easily enroll in a Sprite University. As for Zhou Yuze and Ma Ruomei, it was more difficult.
He would only know the results when the rankings and cutoff scores predicted by the schools were released today .
"I passed the cutoff score."
Liu Ren said, "Chen Qi has reached the cutoff score for key universities. Yuze and Ruomei seem to be preparing to enroll in Eastwood University."
There were five Sprite Universities in Tiannan Province.
Among them, Tiannan University and Yunhua Sprite University were key universities.
The other three were Eastwood University, Heavenly South Agricultural University, and Heavenly Star University… Among them, Heavenly Star University had rich resources, but the tuition fees were very high, and ordinary students couldn't afford it.
When Su Hao heard that the three of them could enroll in Sprite Universities, he was relieved.
As classmates, he still hoped that everyone could get better and better.
...
As Su Hao walked, he browsede through the admission information of the various schools.
"Whale Island University is preparing to enroll 1,100 students this year."
It was nationwide and there were only 65 slots in Tiannan Province.
Liu Ren and the others were ranked 70 to 100 in the whole province. If nothing went wrong, they would be admitted — after all, there were two other prestigious sprite schools.
He filled in his application form a few days later.
The admission results would be announced within a week at most.
It was even faster than ordinary universities.
Su Hao and Liu Ren agreed to inform each other after the results were out.
At the school gate, the few of them headed different ways.
Before he left, Liu Ren asked, "Old Su, when do you plan to go to school? I heard that you can go there as early as the 15th of August? When the time comes, let's go together."
Liu Ren didn't forget to cozy up to him at all times.
After enrolling in Whale Island University, his boot-licking plan had already succeeded halfway.
But he heard Su Hao say.
"No, I have a recommendation letter. I'm leaving at the beginning of July."
Liu Ren: "???"
(The first volume is over, the ending is a little difficult for me ~)

Sleepwalk!
A cooling corpse lies upon a pool of beautiful crimson. Fifty-six stabs defile the body. Blood trickles down, splash by splash, flowing freely into the sewage. The dim moonlight shines upon the body as dawn threatens to break. A single figure stands above the corpse. His fingers clench the handle of a bloodied kitchen knife tightly. This is Alister Moore. He stands there, quivering in his boots. Just a split second ago, he'd been drinking, pissing, cursing; the activities of a regular laid-off salaryman. A single thought fills his mind. What the fuck just happened?
