After the Awakening Platform was restarted, and the remaining nine classes' students had awakened, two hours had passed. At this time, Cheng Bingxi involuntarily exited her Kemonomimi form and returned to her original human form.
The principal had called the teenagers with the highest talent, who had already confirmed their contracts, to his private villa office.
In the office hall on the first floor of the villa, each of the teenagers was sitting, including Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi among them.
There were a total of nine people, with Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi both being SSS-level, Xie Mengxuan at S-level, and the remaining six girls were A-level Beast Masters with talents and had awakened A-level Fierce Beast Templates.
"I awakened with an A-level Demon Hawk template and contracted with Zhang Ziyang. What about you?"
"A-level Flame Python template." "A-level Dream Butterfly template."
"I wonder why the principal has called us here, what's he up to!"
Three pairs of A-level talents introduced themselves to one another.
Xie Mengxuan snorted coldly on her own, as she was the only one summoned by the principal alone.
Hearing the snort, the pairs of boys and girls turned their attention to Xie Mengxuan, then shifted their gaze onto Xiao Ye, speaking with reverence and curiosity:
"Violet qi from the east reaches ten thousand miles, reflecting countless Divine Beasts. SSS-level talent Beast Master, Xiao Ye, oh my God!"
"And Cheng Bingxi, you're also amazing."
As their gazes switched over to Cheng Bingxi, it was as though they saw something terrifying, causing their pupils to shrink sharply, their faces to reveal unusual expressions, and the reverence in their eyes to disappear, replaced by surprise and a hint of disdain.
Cheng Bingxi, in her human form, still had the huge and frightening scar that ran from her forehead to her chin.
Cheng Bingxi's beautiful eyes glared.
They unconsciously lowered their heads, but a flicker of excitement seemed to surface, as if they found a sense of superiority from Cheng Bingxi.
In terms of talent, they couldn't compare to Cheng Bingxi, but she would never be as whole as they were. So what if you have an SSS-level template, you'll live your whole life with that scary scar on display.
"Cheng Bingxi, my wife, your scar will find a way to be solved." Xiao Ye spoke warmly with a smile.
Cheng Bingxi's slightly downhearted mood lifted, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Xiao Ye staring intently at the scar on her right face. She subconsciously turned away, not wanting him to see it.
Her gaze evasive, she quietly and unconfidently said, "It will happen."
Being faced with others with such a large scar, Cheng Bingxi's personality was stubborn and brave, not caring, but in front of Xiao Ye, she panicked, becoming insecure. She worried that Xiao Ye cared too much about that terrifying scar.
She feared that she wasn't worthy of Xiao Ye!
In Xiao Ye's presence, she wanted to transform into her Kemonomimi form, becoming the perfect, pristine, and noble Fox Ear Lady Cheng Bingxi.
"Pfft!" Xie Mengxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, her face unable to hide her delight and excitement.
However, in the principal's office, Xie Mengxuan dared only to mock for a moment, to look down for a moment, to be excited for a moment, to be proud for a moment.
A wretch is just a wretch, once she exits her Kemonomimi form, she's nothing! She excitedly thought to herself.
"Is everyone here? Let me introduce you to someone. This is a second-year student from Mang Yuan Academy who has dropped out due to possessing an S-level Beast Master talent. He has already advanced to the second realm, but his Contractor died in an accident, and now he wants to retake the college entrance examination... a round of applause, everyone!"
The principal brought along a bald youth with a carrying case, enthusiastically introducing him upon arrival.
"Applause!" Everyone clapped enthusiastically.
S-level, second realm, Contractor sacrificed, retaking the college entrance examination!
Even Xiao Ye was a bit surprised. A university, that is, an Academy second-year student, could retake the college entrance exam? This was not Earth but the apocalyptic Blue Star, where Demon Beasts ran rampant.
The principal turned his gaze to Xie Mengxuan and said, "Student Xie Mengxuan, you two can get to know each other. If you find it suitable, you can form a contract."
The bald youth suddenly grew very curious and said, "Principal, I heard that Third High School had a girl who awakened an SSS-tier template today. Who is she?"
The principal pointed to Cheng Bingxi and said, "Student Cheng Bingxi has awakened an SSS-tier template, but she has already formed a contract with Xiao Ye!"
The bald youth looked over with curiosity but upon suddenly seeing the horrifying right cheek of Cheng Bingxi, his smile stiffened and his mouth twitched as he said:
"This classmate is quite unique."
The bald youth then sat down next to Xie Mengxuan, and they started to chat softly.
The principal took a look around the office and nodded in satisfaction, his expression settled as he said:
"Our Mang Yuan Base City has ranked last for ten consecutive terms in the national competition among the base cities for the college entrance examination. This term, in preparation for the college entrance exam, Mang Yuan Base City has decided to launch the College Entrance Examination Training Camp, to ramp up the effort to train the most outstanding students from all high schools' awakening classes, in order to..."
The principal paused for a moment, his voice becoming impassioned and motivational as he said: "In order to shake off the title of being last place and to make the greatest effort to reach second-to-last place!"
Everyone present was shocked. Second-to-last place also requires the greatest effort?
The trainees looked at the principal with questioning eyes.
"Ahem!" the principal's face suddenly broke into a smile and said, "Rest assured, as far as I know, today First High and Third High have also awakened students with S-tier templates and talents, and not just one!"
"This year, after we start the College Entrance Examination Training Camp, our Mang Yuan Base City's results in the college entrance exam among all of Dragon Country's base cities will definitely be able to take second-to-last place, or even third-to-last place is not impossible!"
The principal said more jubilantly. Being third-to-last entails much more resources allocated from above than being second-to-last.
Xiao Ye interjected, "Principal, be more confident and bring home a first place."
"..." The principal gave Xiao Ye a speechless look, "Student Xiao Ye, don't interrupt!"
Third-to-last place, that too is just a possibility, with less than a 50% chance! As for first place, that's something only the super base cities of Imperial Base City and Modu Base City, where the strong abound, could hope to achieve.
"All of you are students from Third High School. At the College Entrance Examination Training Camp, you must work together and help each other. As a team, and as the principal, I appoint Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi as the team leader and deputy team leader. Do any of you have objections?"
"No objections!" "I agree!" "It should be so!"
Three pairs of A-tier template contractors raised their hands in agreement.
But a jarring voice came from the back row, belonging to that bald youth.
"Wait! I have an objection."
"Student Xie Mengxuan has already agreed to form a contract with me, and my realm is at the second stage. The strongest in the team must surely be Meng Xuan and me; we should be the team leaders!"
"This," the principal stopped mid-sentence.
The bald youth took advantage of the moment and said, "As far as I know, tomorrow is the day we enter the Youth Training Camp. So, I suggest that after everyone gathers tomorrow, our Summoned Beasts have a match against Xiao Ye's. Whoever wins will be the team leader, how about it?"
