When the students heard what Zeng Wu said, they realized something. Each one of them experienced how difficult the training camp was, either in survival or in fighting the forest creatures.
Thinking about it, they realized that Liu Yang was much more than he appeared. Also, everyone heard that Liu Yang had split from his group and fought a Verdant Snake along with Liu Xia, although the instructors had saved the couple, which showed that they had the power to fight a beast that was almost at the peak of rank 2.
Another proof of this was the small duel between Liu Yang and Yao Mu, everyone saw Liu Yang defeat Yao Mu in just seconds, even though it was an unusual duel where one side did not use magic but the power of the elements. It also showed that the control of Liu Yang elements was extremely high.
Some students began to think that Liu Yang was the student who got the highest grade in practical magic classes.
Gradually, students in class F began to accept that Liu Yang had some hidden skills to fight against the other schools.
"Student Liu Yang, you can go to the principal's office, the other students, who were also chosen, are waiting in that room." Zeng Wu gestured for Liu Yang to leave.
"Yes, teacher" Liu Yang turned off the computer and left the room.
Class F students began to have a new kind of thinking about Liu Yang, but they could only sigh about it. They all laughed and said bad things about Liu Yang because he was weak and had the help of a teacher to study at school, but now, they realized how blind they were, but it was too late for regrets.
…
The silent principal's office became noisy, as the students from class A and B who were chosen were there to complain that they did not accept Liu Yang's appointment as a member of the team that will fight the Northern School.
"Principal, you cannot choose a student from class F as a representative, our school is losing face that way. Only students in class A should be chosen. "One young man argued, those words left class B students unsatisfied, only Xiao Mei kept a casual gaze on Liu Xia side, the two girls knew this would happen and said nothing about this subject.
"What are you looking at? If you don't like my words, prove me I'm wrong. "The young man spoke arrogantly and looked at the three students in class B as if they were insects.
"Stay calm, the last student hasn't arrived yet, let's see what he has to say about it." The principal tried to calm the students down.
Tock… Tock…
"Come in." The director knew who the other person was.
The door was opened and an ordinary-looking student came in, he was Liu Yang, he already had a vague idea of what was going on inside the room. When Liu Yang entered, he walked to the side of Liu Xia and Xiao Mei.
"Director, sorry for the delay"
"Fine, don't worry about it. Since everyone is here, I congratulate you on completing the training. You were the ones the instructors chose to represent the school. Do any of you have any objections to that? "The director said as if the conversation from earlier had not happened, he had to wait for Liu Yang to arrive to speak again.
"Principal, you know that getting a class F student to represent the school is a very shameful thing, we're losing face because of it. The Northern School will send its best students, and will we send some lower-class students? Principal, are you underestimating the Northern School? "The young man kept insisting on taking students out of other classes.
"Student Ye Hong, I am not underestimating Northern School, but as a school pre-training session, I would like freshmen to have the opportunity to see what a real fighting arena looks like. Besides, it is very rare for a student in class F to be chosen for this type of occasion. "The principal said discouragingly, he knew the school prioritized the students in class A, but that is not to say that students in other classes should be ignored.
"Principal, I know what you mean, but the students in the F class are from this F class because they are weak and the worst in school. There is no sense in choosing a student in this class as a representative. "Ye Hong was trying to justify his opposition to Liu Yang's recommendation by any means possible, he did not accept the fact that a class F student could receive a recommendation. That was the thinking of the other students in class A.
"Student Liu Yang, what do you think about this subject?" The principal understood that he could not convince the students in class A to accept this situation, he could only ask Liu Yang and know his opinion.
"Principal, if the students in class A are afraid that I am nominated for the group, and that makes the school lose face. I can only give up the vacancy and another student in class A can join in my place. "Liu Yang said casually, he had no intention of joining the group and representing the school. He never intended to do that.
Liu Yang's words made all the students surprised, they never imagined that he would voluntarily give up the place. Class A students showed a victorious smile when they heard these words.
The director could only sigh about this, he understood the reason for Liu Yang's refusal. But the sigh was not because of Liu Yang's refusal, but what would happen next.
"Director, I would also like to decline the nomination," Liu Xia said, as Liu Yang would not attend, there was no reason for her to attend either.
The director sighed internally again, he knew this would happen.
(Couple Liu, you did that… You taught your children the same way you did when you were younger…) The director remembered the past when he saw the attitude of Liu Yang and Liu Xia.
"Director, I would also like to decline the nomination" As her two friends refused, there was no reason for Xiao Mei to remain in the group, she also declined the nomination.
"Junior Liu Xia, how could you refuse the statement ?? This is a great opportunity to represent the school. "The students in class A were startled when they heard Liu Xia's words, they never imagined she would refuse the nomination.
"I have no reason to join the group. As my fiancé gave up, I will give up too. "Liu Xia spoke her opinion.
"Junior Liu Xia, are you throwing away a golden opportunity like this because of your fiancé ?? Do you want to waste your future? "Another student in class A asked, he didn't like the fact that Liu Xia declined the invitation because of Liu Yang.
"What's the matter with that? This is my personal choice, and what I do or don't do has nothing to do with you. That decision is up to me only. "Liu Xia spoke coldly, she didn't like the way the other students were talking to her. Especially when it was about her beloved, Liu Yang.
The students in class A were silent after hearing Liu Xia's words, she was right. The decision of what to do in her future was entirely her decision, it is not up to a third party to decide.
"Let's stop arguing and talking civilly" The principal was trying to calm the students down, he didn't want them to fight.
"Principal, you need to talk to junior Liu Xia, as a teacher, you also need to mentor your students. Junior Liu Xia is trying to throw her future away. "Ye Hong said, although he had no interest in Liu Xia, his clan still asked to try to pull her to his side. After seeing her performance in practical classes, some of his clan elders show interested in her and wanted her to become a member of his clan. But before that, Liu Xia needed to show off her skills in the small competition against the Northern School. That is why Ye Hong is insisting on this subject.
"Student Liu Xia, are you determined to refuse the nomination?" The principal knew her answer but asked for formality.
"Yes, I refuse the nomination," Liu Xia said casually, she was not interested in this subject from the beginning. If Liu Yang were together, she would try hard, but since he wasn't in the group, she had no interest in being part of this show.
"Fine, I accept your refusal. I will choose three other students to replace your place. I'm closing this up. "The principal said despondently, he understood that his school would have some difficulties in freshman competition.
"Principal, you ..." Ye Hong wanted to argue again, but the principal interrupted him.
"That's my final word, besides, we can't force others to do things they don't want. You can go out "
"We thank the director for understanding." Liu Yang bowed and walked out with Liu Xia and Xiao Mei, he was holding hands with Liu Xia while Xiao Mei was by his side.
…
"Principal, will you allow this? A bright student like junior Liu Xia squandering her future because of a love relationship? "The class students were still in the principal's office trying to convince him to put Liu Xia in the group and not accept her refusal.
"You should know that students' personal lives are something we don't intrude on, if student Liu Xia prefers to stay with her fiancé, she has the right to do so. That's just her decision. "The director said before taking a short break and speaking again.
"I will give you a little warning, just because you are part of the ten clans doesn't mean you can do what you want, there are some people you should never offend in life. If not, you'll regret it later. "The principal said in a serious tone, he knew a few things about Liu Yang's parents.
"Director, do you mean they have any powerful backgrounds? This can only be a joke, no powerful clan has a daughter like junior Liu Xia, her blue hair is something that doesn't exist in this country. What's more, junior Liu Yang's parents are just artifact researchers. How would they have an influential background? "Ye Hong and the other students were skeptical of the principal's words.
"I already said what I had to say today, you can leave," The director said and gestured for everyone to leave.
After all the students left, only the principal was in the room, he was standing and looking at the horizon with a solemn look.
"Young people, don't think that because you are members of a powerful and influential clan you can do anything. Some people in this world cannot be offended. If those two come back and find out that you tried to intimidate their children, I can only pray for you… "The principal sighed after speaking these words. They were referring to the Liu couple, Liu Yang's parents.
But who were they? Why would the director speak these words?
