"Why wasn't he recommended?" Qin Wen asked further.
"They say that after awakening his powers, he rarely went to school, and his academic scores suffered as a result," Sun Boyi explained.
Qin Wen nodded in understanding.
He probably formed a contract with a pet beast and couldn't stand the dryness of studying alone.
If that's the case, he really is a good candidate. Lu Liangye has had a contract with a pet beast for almost half a year now, so his power is definitely stronger than his peers.
...
Outside of Shengshui High School.
Zhan Wei sat on the edge of a flower bed, lost in thought.
He had arrived too early.
The gate wasn't open yet...
Most of the students at Shengshui Middle School are boarders, and the ones who live off-campus take the south gate of the school, while outsiders like Zhan Wei who are not from the school all enter through the north gate.
The north gate is tightly closed, and the security guard in the guard room hasn't started working yet.
Zhan Wei checked the time for the 9th time.
8:52 am.
There are only 28 minutes left until the gathering time for the special admission exam at Shengshui Middle School, which is at 9:20 am.
Apart from Zhan Wei and Spark, there is no one passing by the entrance of the spacious north gate.
Zhan Wei couldn't resist the sleepiness and yawned.
If only he had known, he wouldn't have come so early...
8:58 am.
Eight black dots appeared in the sky and gradually approached the north gate, landing on the ground after a while and raising dust.
Zhan Wei tried hard to open his drowsy eyes.
They were eight jackdaws, each about 2 meters in size.
Their beaks were as black as their feathers, and they had a pair of beautiful black curly tails, making them easily recognizable.
Suddenly, six men and two women landed from the jackdaws, all seemingly around the same age as Zhan Wei.
"Hello, it's a total of 8,000 Union Coins." said one of the men on the back of a jackdaw.
"We registered for the group purchase price." said a girl with a ponytail wearing a red headband.
The man looked at his companion with his eyes, as if asking if it was true.
His companion nodded and said, "Yes, we registered for the group purchase price."
"Then it will be 7,222 Union Coins." said the man.
"Can you give us a further discount? We can call you again later if we return late." said the tallest among the six boys.
"Let's settle the payment for this one first." the man did not directly answer.
Since it had come to this point, they naturally paid the money.
After completing the payment, the tallest boy asked again, "How much of a discount can we get if we call you later?"
"None." the man replied.
"What?" the tallest boy was dumbfounded.
"No discount." the man answered him again.
Everyone: "..."
...
While this group of people was chatting and negotiating, Zhan Wei had already entered Shengshui Middle School with Spark.
At exactly 9 o'clock, Uncle Menwei, the security guard, came out of the school and opened the gate.
He's literally cutting it close to starting work...
Following the route provided on the official website of Shengshui High School, Zhan Wei arrived at Venue 3.
There were only four teachers at the venue, and it seemed like they didn't pay much attention to this special admission competition compared to Zanggang Sixth Beast High School.
"Teacher, I'm here for the exam," Zhan Wei said as he walked over.
"Identification card," Sun Boyi replied concisely.
Zhan Wei took out his identification card and handed it over.
"Zhan Wei, from Phoenix Ridge junior Middle School?" Sun Boyi lowered his head to confirm Zhan Wei's name and information on the card.
"Yes," Zhan Wei replied.
Sun Boyi put a checkmark next to Zhan Wei's name on the paper. "Go sit on the side for now, we'll start when everyone is here," he said, returning the identification card as well.
As Zhan Wei moved to the side, Qin Wen said with interest, "This boy actually contracted a Fire fang Dog."
"People who awaken on their own always have a big ego. Is it not common to contract difficult-to-control beast pets as the first one? This time, Lu You, who was admitted to our school, even contracted a Little Zhi Dragon," Zheng Guoping said dismissively.
Qin Wen rolled her eyes secretly. Can they be compared?
The temperament of a Little Zhi Dragon is far better than that of a Firefang Dog, but it's just that not many people can contract it because it belongs to the Dragon class and is too expensive.
One relies on courage to contract a Firefang Dog, while the other relies on financial capability to contract a Little Zhi Dragon. How can they be the same?
But Zheng Guoping is not easy to talk to; he explodes over everything. She couldn't be bothered to argue with him about this.
After a few minutes, several people who had just come down from a Jackdaws outside the North Gate entered the venue and lined up to verify their identities.
The first person to finish verifying her identity, a boy with a blue colour hairstyle wearing a headband, looked around and then sat down next to Zhan Wei. He casually asked, "You're also here for the exam. Why didn't you come with us?"
He discreetly glanced at the Fire fang Dog next to Zhan Wei.
A formidable opponent.
Zhan Wei was confused. "Why should I come with you? Do I know you?"
The boy with the blue colour hairstyle exclaimed, "Didn't you see the message in the group?"
Zhan Wei was even more puzzled. "What group? What message?"
"The group that all special admissions students have to join under Shengshui High School's special admissions website," the boy with the blue colour hairstyle explained. "Didn't we agree in the group to meet at the intersection of Oujie Street when we came together?"
