"Over the past month, all kinds of news have been received..." Merlin laughed and said, "This focus of mine is under a lot of pressure. Most of those geniuses are receiving special training, like Lucy. You should know..."
Merlin glanced at Sebastian and said: "Her brother is a teacher at Celestina University, he has rich experience and diverse resources; once she is specially trained, her strength will skyrocket."
"Oh." Sebastian nodded slightly.
His face was calm as suddenly he understood why Merlin came here, it was for him to compete for a good ranking in this entrance examination. For all schools, the Grand Competition was nothing, but the annual college entrance examination was the most important thing. Which would directly affect the quantity and quality of enrollment for the following year.
"So..." Merlin looked at Sebastian and said solemnly, "Sebastian, you, as the champion of the Grand Competition and the most promising member of our school, I naturally cannot sit back and watch. Cooperating with several other schools, a college entrance examination preliminary camp was opened and will be personally taught by teacher Nelissen. Like other geniuses in our city, Francis, Hollands, Bravo, Brian, etc, all of them will participate and concentrate on this month's sprint."
Sebastian also had no doubts. Since the planetary awakening was done in unison, to ensure fairness and equity, after three months of awakening, everyone took the college entrance exam together, and there was only this one opportunity.
There was no such thing as repeating. If you do well in the exam, you could choose from a variety of top universities, but it could be quite brutal.
"Does the principal mean... to let me attend this camp?" Sebastian asked.
"That's right." Merlin nodded and said, "There are rumors in the outside world now..."
"Bailey is the most prominent favorite as the top student in this year's college entrance exam. Her teacher is a powerful planet master who is not weaker than the City Mayor."
Next to him, the teacher Nelissen added: "And this is not just a random rumor, the ranking on the Genius List just released, Bailey has surpassed you and she is one of the highest of all the trainees in the city."
"The Genius List?" A look of curiosity appeared in Sebastian's eyes.
"The so-called Genius List is a ranking of all recent high school candidates by an authoritative organization." Nelissen explained: "There is no exception to the list, all of them are top geniuses in the Province and there are a total of 10,000 names on the list. Among the billions of geniuses in the entire province, only 10,000 made it to the list."
"The ranking is based not on strength, but potential, so to speak, on the prediction of the ranking of the entrance exam results in a month, there are only three people on the list. It's Bailey, you, and Lucy." Saying that Nelissen took out the communicator and clicked on a page, projecting it into the air.
This was a huge list, which was none other than the Genius List. Since the list was too long, Nelissen only projected the pages of the city students and Sebastian saw that Bailey's ranking was 2,562nd.
"This is the only genius in the history of our city who has entered the top 3000." Nelissen couldn't help but feel some emotion and said, "After all, the whole Province is just too big and there are too many geniuses."
Merlin then said, "There will only be 1,080 enrollments in the Province and there will be 30 people for each college, as per policy."
"Each city will have at least one spot regardless of ranking, back then..." Nelissen took over and said, "I didn't even rank on the Genius list, which means I didn't even make it to the top 10,000 in the province. It is by this policy that I just entered Maple Leaf College. That means, as long as it's the top student in each city, no matter how badly talented you are, they are bound to be admitted to super-first-class universities."
Sebastian nodded slightly and he understood that this was also why Merlin was paying so much attention this year. Because in the history of Oakleaf School, there had never been a top student in the entrance examination, no one had ever entered a super-first-class university.
This year was the most promising. There was Sebastian who was the Grand competition champion and there was also Lucy with good potential, enough to launch an impact on the position of the champion.
"For most students in the city." Nelissen glanced at Sebastian and continued: "Only by relying on this policy can you most likely get admission letters from 36 super-first-class universities. If you don't get the first prize, you still have to compete with other geniuses in the province, so the hope is very slim."
"Student Sebastian, do you know how many cities there are in the Province?" Merlin asked.
"More than 500, I didn't count them all of them." This was common knowledge, Sebastian naturally heard a little about it.
"The specific number is 580." Merlin's tone was a little dignified: "And our city ranks in the middle and lower reaches of all the cities, that means, there are at least three hundred cities which are above us. Among them are the provincial capital, Amber City, Tianjing City, and other cities where geniuses gather."
"Every year, there are dozens of monster-level geniuses who have been admitted to super-first-class universities, in every way, we are too far behind. If you remove the policy, then, in the history of our city, no one has reached the admission standards of super-first-class universities."
"So..." Merlin looked at Sebastian with a hint of hope in his eyes: "This year is the best chance for the School and yourself."
"Is there any reward for the top student?" Sebastian asked.
"Reward?" Merlin was slightly taken aback.
He didn't expect Sebastian to be concerned about this issue.
He and Nelissen glanced at each other and then said: "There are no official rewards, but each school will set them."
"It's like Paradise School, if you win the top spot in the city, there will be a direct reward of 50 million. Our school is not as wealthy as Paradise School, but if any student can win the top prize, then we can directly promise 30 million." Merlin said proudly.
"This is just a reward for every school." Nelissen added with a smile: "Generally, for every year's champion, each faction has more or fewer representations, such as from our City Mayor, there will be a huge reward."
Sebastian didn't know what to say. What he wanted to ask for was not the reward of the first prize, instead, he wanted to ask for the reward of the champion of the entire Province.
One could say, that even with the current technological development level of Greater Terra to participate, he could win this first place. However, if you look at the whole province, that was not so easy to say.
After all, Sebastian had no way to find out about the geniuses from other cities, but the champion title was so valuable. The reward for the champion of the entire province should be more than that.
"Student Sebastian, are there any more questions?" Merlin asked.
"No, I'll work on it," Sebastian said.
Since the Principal was so serious, Sebastian couldn't justify it without showing it.
Hearing this, Merlin was relieved. He was afraid that Sebastian would not be interested in this entrance examination champion just as in the last competition.
"This time your main opponents are the two of them, Bailey and Lucy," Nelissen said at this time, she also pointed to the aerial projection.
Bailey was ranked 2,562 and it was among the first 5,000. The other participant from the city, Lucy's ranking, on the other hand, was 9,875th, while Sebastian almost barely squeezed into this list.
Sebastian looked at the projection where he was and it seemed to be very far back.
"The numbers are quite optimistic." Sebastian sarcastically said in his mind.
The power that maintains the ranking, how could they rank him so low?
"This ranking is mainly based on the last Grand Competition and the planetary development of each genius over the past month." Nelissen explained, "I heard that after Bailey received special training, her strength rose substantially. So she was favored by the Genius List."
"However..." Nelissen glanced at Sebastian and said, "It's not that you and Lucy have no chance. Lucy's hope is relatively slim and you..." Nelissen shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but at least I hope it's bigger than Lucy. This special training can be explained as the principal has specially organized it for you and the cost is not small."
"Haha..." Merlin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Not really. Every school has such needs. I'm just going with the flow."
Hearing this, Sebastian felt a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Can I not participate in this special training camp?"
"Huh?" Both Merlin and Nelissen were a little surprised.
Merlin immediately asked: "What are you dissatisfied with? You can still discuss it."
"That's not true." Sebastian made an excuse and said, "I already have a plan of my own, so I won't participate in this special training."
For Sebastian, special training was meaningless as long as Greater Terra could evolve further in the following month.
Nelissen thought about it for a while and seemed to understand something. She smiled and said, "Sebastian has created a civilization for ordinary people, which is indeed unprecedented. Let alone me, even a stronger planet master might not be able to teach him..."
Hearing this, Merlin was a little helpless. That was also true.
After chatting a little more, Merlin and Nelissen were not able to convince Sebastian either, so they had to get up and say goodbye.
Walking out of the neighborhood, Nelissen spoke up, "This Sebastian student seems to be a bit special, huh?"
"There is indeed something special about him." Merlin was quite depressed because he spent a lot of money and carefully crafted a special training camp. It was specially prepared for Sebastian, but this main character refused to come.
Nelissen continued: "Why do I feel like he doesn't care that much about this championship?"
"Is there anyone who doesn't care about the championship? If our students want to enter the first-rate academy, they'll have to rely on this appointment." Merlin laughed.
"That's not what I meant." Nelissen's face was a little weird and said, "I always feel that Sebastian seems to have a sense of not taking it seriously."
"Haha, you're overthinking it." Merlin smiled and said, "This little guy must have hidden some of his strength, but could it be that he wants to fight for the province championship?"
Nelissen also laughed and did not speak again.
After Nelissen and Merlin left, Sebastian sat on the chair, poured himself a glass of water, and slowly drank it.
At this time, the communicator suddenly rang, Sebastian picked it up and took a look. This time it was someone he knew, Fumio Okabe. Last time at the end of the Grand Competition, he took the initiative to exchange contact information with Sebastian.
"Sebastian, haha..." Okabe seemed excited.
"What's the matter?" Sebastian was quick to speak.
"Did you know? You've made it to the Genius List." Okabe said excitedly.
Sebastian hadn't answered yet and Okabe immediately went down and said, "This is the ranking of all the geniuses in the entire state. From billions of geniuses, only 10,000 people can get in. And from our school, you and Lucy both got in. Lucy is at the end of the list while you, Sebastian, are 8,881st. This is the highest-ranking of all of the city in history."
"Isn't there Bailey?" Sebastian reminded.
"Yes, but it's not fair that Bailey has a strong teacher. By the way, Sebastian, you should be attending the sprint camp, right?" Okabe asked.
"I'm not participating," Sebastian said.
"I thought you'd be there." Okabe sighed and said regretfully, "That Brian is still rude and wants to challenge you, saying that ordinary people's civilization has no potential. It's stronger when it's bigger but the upper limit is limited. The further you go, the weaker you will be. When it's time for the entrance examination, don't say it's Bailey and Lucy, even he... can't beat them. This guy is really over his head, what a clown."
"If nothing is going on, I'm hanging up." Sebastian smiled faintly.
Followed by, he hung up the communication and didn't even take this to heart. For the current Sebastian, there was only one on top of billions of geniuses in the entire state... The champion. That was Sebastian's goal.
"It's only less than a month away." Sebastian's eyes flickered.
What he just said to Merlin was not an excuse either. Since he was ready to take first place, he naturally intended to make a plan of his own.
There was something and it was about to begin.
