Su Yuan and Zhao Ning immediately looked at Su Ming with concern.

They saw that Su Ming seemed a bit downhearted and quickly comforted him.

“Son, don’t worry!

If you botched the exam, you botched it.

We’ll figure something out for you.”

“Right, if all else fails, I’ll go back to my hometown and take the scolding!”

Su Yuan was ready to face the consequences.

Su Ming sighed, adjusted his mindset, and then said to Su Yuan and the others.

“It’s okay, I didn’t do great, but I didn’t fail either.”

“Eh?

Son, you passed?

We didn’t see your score.”

Su Yuan asked, bewildered.

“I’m in seventh place.”

Su Ming said calmly to the two of them.

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning were instantly dumbfounded and looked at the seventh place in disbelief.

Sure enough, they saw Su Ming’s name.

“My God, am I seeing things?

218 points?

50 points?

Haha!

Son, you really made me proud; you scored so high!”

Su Yuan jumped up and down excitedly, as happy as a child.

Zhao Ning hugged her son in extreme joy, her voice choked with emotion as she said.

“Son, you’ve really made something of yourself, scoring so well!”

“You didn’t see whose son he is.”

Su Yuan said, beaming with pride.

Zhao Ning gave Su Yuan a sidelong look and said dismissively.

“Don’t flatter yourself.

It’s good our son didn’t inherit from you, otherwise, he probably couldn’t even score 120.”

“Uh, don’t say that, dear.”

Su Yuan replied awkwardly.

Su Ming took a deep sigh and then said to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning.

“Sigh, actually, this score isn’t great.

After all, I still didn’t get into the Imperial Court Academy.

Father, Mother, I want to repeat a year.”

Zhao Ning was stunned upon hearing Su Ming’s decision to repeat a year.

Su Yuan scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled, and said.

“Son, you don’t need to repeat the year; your score is enough.”

“My score is enough?”

Su Ming also paused, confusedly looking at Su Yuan.

“Although you took the exam in the Thirteenth District, your household registration has always been under the Su Family of Starlight City, right?

You only needed to score 200 and 50 points, and now you’ve got just that!”

Su Yuan then explained to Su Ming.

Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Su Ming’s expression immediately turned rather splendid, saying with a bit of disbelief.

“This works?”

“Of course, it works!

Don’t believe me?

Look!”

Su Yuan pointed to the virtual projection screen.

Su Ming looked at the virtual projection screen again.

Suddenly, the names of Su Ming and Lin Chuyu turned red, and a prompt appeared behind them (Accepted by Imperial Court Academy as non-school affiliates!)

Instantly, on the playground, many people exclaimed.

“Look, besides Lin Chuyu, someone else from our school has been accepted by the Imperial Court Academy!”

“Damn, Su Ming!”

“Isn’t that the fat guy who attempted suicide?”

“No way, he scored that high?”

“But wait, his score on the comprehensive paper and the mecha part is high, but it’s still not enough, right?

How could he have been accepted?”

“Yeah, even Li Fubai wasn’t accepted.”

“You’re being silly, he must be registered in the third city’s household!”

…

Principal Luo Ken saw this scene and was also stunned, then he revealed an expression of wild joy.

“Ha ha, our school managed to get two students from other schools in!”

…

He had thought that with the Imperial Court Sect overseeing the exams, the academy’s results would surely plummet.

Having Lin Chuyu pass would have been good enough, but unexpectedly, there was also a dark horse.

But where there are those who rejoice, naturally, there are those who are furious.

At this moment, Li Fubai was looking at his own results and then at Su Ming’s, his entire body trembling.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a white suit, looking quite scholarly, stood beside him with furrowed brows and said,

“My son, what’s the matter with your minor subjects?

Why didn’t you pass?”

“I don’t know either, Lin Chuyu passed, and I did even better than her in the minor subjects.

Why don’t I have any performance points?

This isn’t fair!

Father, you must help me appeal!”

Li Fubai spoke to Li Cheng’an in a somewhat panicked tone.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go and ask right away.

There’s an officer over there in charge of issues related to the city exam; let’s go talk to them!”

Li Cheng’an calmly consoled his son, then led him towards a corner.

In the corner of the playground, Ray’ao stood with a team of subordinates.

They were specifically responsible for matters related to the announcement of results; if anyone feels there is an issue with their scores, they can report it to them immediately.

Soon, Li Cheng’an and Li Fubai approached Ray’ao and his team.

Before Li Cheng’an could speak, Li Fubai couldn’t wait to question,

“I want to appeal, why do others have performance points and I don’t?

I don’t need the same points as Lin Chuyu, just give me 17 points arbitrarily, and I would have enough!”

“That’s right, why doesn’t my son have any performance points?

You must give us an answer to this.”

Li Cheng’an was also very annoyed, given that his son was so excellent.

Ray’ao glanced at Li Fubai and let out a cold snort before speaking,

“I remember you, you are Li Fubai, aren’t you?”

“Correct!”

Li Fubai paused before responding.

“You’re the one who appealed to me, right?”

Ray’ao spoke to Li Fubai.

“Yes, but didn’t that appeal get rejected?”

Li Fubai felt a bad premonition upon hearing Ray’ao’s words, but still pressed on uneasily.

“Let me tell you why, your last appeal was rejected, but it wasn’t entirely without effect!

General Ames loathed the behavior of you and Su Ming fighting each other on the battlefield, and therefore he stripped both of you of all your performance points!

Unfortunately for you, that boy slaughtered the Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight and had a high base score.

Plus, he had a third city’s household registration, so he was admitted!

So there’s no need for you to appeal or question anymore, the decision to deduct your performance points was ordered by General Ames, and no one can change it!”

Ray’ao spoke coldly.

Li Fubai felt as though he had been plunged into the depths of winter, his heart suddenly ice-cold.

In simple terms, Ray’ao’s words meant that Li Fubai’s own appeal had led to the deletion of his results.

Shaking, he looked towards Li Cheng’an, who coldly said,

“You’ve disappointed me so much!”

After saying this, Li Cheng’an turned around and left in anger.

“Father, listen to my explanation…”

Li Fubai frantically followed.

…

Meanwhile, inside the administrative building.

Teachers Chen Yi and Tang Yan were together, organizing paper files.

These files would later have to follow the students to their respective High-level Colleges and military departments.

“The results are about to be released, why aren’t you going to have a look?”

Tang Yan laughed and spoke to Chen Yi.

“It’s a sure thing, what’s there to see?”

Teacher Chen Yi was very confident; he was only short of two places.

Lin Chuyu had already secured one, and as long as Li Fubai or any of the others merely passed, that would be sufficient.
