Chapter 238: Exam
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Ke explained rather helplessly, “It’s a competition. Will you be participating? The selection test is next Wednesday, and the joint exam is next Friday. Time is tight. Are you in a hurry?”
Ye Ke found her new friend’s personality quite strange. When her classmates heard about upcoming exams next week, they would usually express a mix of emotions, including pain, but they would also have some degree of confidence. There were many reactions, but none were as calm as Ji Jing, who seemed as nonchalant as if she had heard that it would rain tomorrow.
The same went for the competition. Passing the selection wasn’t easy, and the competition within the school was intense. Even Ye Ke herself would get nervous and anxious, but Ji Jing appeared casual about it.
She didn’t seem to care about many things that ordinary students were concerned about. Why?
“I’m anxious,” Ji Jing replied seriously. “Two exams happening at the same time. I need to read more books.”
If Ji Jing knew what Ye Ke was confused about, she would likely provide a simple and straightforward answer because it didn’t seem difficult.
Ye Ke didn’t expect to receive such an infuriating response. She could only cast a suspicious look at Ji Jing silently. Her monotonous tone didn’t sound credible at all.
Nevertheless, the exams were still a bit far off. The most important thing for now was to attend the flag-raising ceremony.
Ye Ke didn’t say anything more and led Ji Jing to the square. Students and teachers of all ages were gathering there. Ye Ke guided Ji Jing through the crowd and soon located their class group.
Today’s flag-raising ceremony was as simple as usual. The only difference was that, after the ceremony, the principal stepped up to the stage.
The principal’s expression was serious, as if he had an important announcement to make.
“Next, we will address the school violence incident that occurred in the second year,” the principal announced solemnly. “After an investigation, it was found that during the opening ceremony, a second-year student, Wu Tian, committed an act of violence against another second-year student, Xue Meng…” The principal’s words, broadcasted over the speaker, caused an immediate uproar in the audience.
“who is wu Tian?”
“Isn’t he from the international class? Those wealthy students who bullied others are finally facing consequences.”
“Fighting during the opening ceremony? How audacious.”
“The school is taking action against the international class? Weren’t they all related to the board of directors?”
“Maybe Wu Tian’s family isn’t connected to the board of directors.”
“No wonder I haven’t seen Xue Meng for the past few days. He must be in the hospital after being beaten up.”
“Beaten to the point of hospitalization? That’s quite extreme!”
The international class team was located next to the special class, which immediately drew the attention of the entire school. The discussions among the surrounding classes were most intense.
Ji Jing was also surprised. She hadn’t expected Wu Tian to be dealt with so quickly. After all, from a human perspective, Wu Lin was still under investigation by the police, and his assets and influence remained intact.
Only those in the know were aware that both the human police and the
Mystical World had initiated a rigorous and extensive investigation into Wu Lin’s activities. After all, his actions constituted a significant event no matter where you looked.
Ming Ze had mentioned that, according to the rules of the Demon Realm, it wouldn’t be excessive to make Wu Lin’s soul dissipate directly. However, given the recent treaty between the three worlds to maintain stability, he had captured Wu Lin alive and delivered him into the hands of human authorities. That was also the reason he arrived a bit late that day.
“Hey, do you know why Wu Tian is being dealt with so prominently?” Ye Ke nudged Ji Jing’s arm with her elbow and spoke mysteriously.
“I don’t know. Why?” Ji Jing, seeing Ye Ke’s expression, which suggested inside information, played along and asked for the scoop.
“His father has been arrested, and our school’s board of directors has changed!” Ye Ke revealed excitedly. “Actually, Wu Tian’s incident was captured by surveillance cameras a long time ago, but because his father used to be a member of the school’s board, the school was hesitant to take action.’
However, now it seems that the new board of directors is quite decisive.
“Oh? How did you find out?” Ji Jing was genuinely surprised. Ye Ke seemed to be quite well-informed.
“You can tell from his resume,” Ye Ke said with a touch of pride. “He studied engineering and started his own business. He has always been in the industry. People like him are more pragmatic. This time, Wu Tian’s reprimand notice was signed with his name, indicating that he was the one who pushed for it.
Don’t think I’m prying into your privacy; this is all public information.”
Ji Jing sighed quietly. Ye Ke was indeed someone who could be friends with Sun Yu. One was good at reconnaissance, and the other excelled at gathering information. It was a pity that neither of them worked in intelligence..
