Hao Ren got off the train with his luggage, he has been traveling all night long. However, he still looked very fresh and handsome. The young man dragged his luggage, ignoring the gazes cast on his back. He flagged a taxi for himself and said, "Master, Prestige High School."
The old man looked at Hao Ren and then nodded. As the young man sat inside the old driver asked, "Are you here for some competition?"
Hao Ren knew that this man was contemplating what he was doing at the best school in the nation with his level, however, he did not explain and nodded silently and closed his eyes. The old driver wanted to talk but when he saw that Hao Ren was not interested, he turned his focus on the road.
After an hour, Hao Ren paid the man and got off the car. He dragged his suitcase on the sidewalk and came to stand before a gateway that led to a grand building. This place looked nothing like a school, on the contrary, it was akin to a palace.
The guard on the duty saw him and asked, "Kid, are you lost?"
Hao Ren looked at the man with a deadpan expression and took out a letter from his backpack and passed it to the guard. The man was surprised, he opened the letter, and after looking at the content he was surprised. He said, "Can you please stay here, I will confirm the situation?"
The young man nodded and went to stand on the side. The guard went inside the cottage on the side, and picked up the intercom. He called the administration asking if there was a child who was admitted on scholarship. The verification did not take long, Hao Ren walked on the pathway that led him towards the palace with calm expression as he said, "One has to admit the efficiency of these big bosses is very good."
He did not talk more, and calmly walked up to the reception counter, where a beautiful middle-aged lady sat skimming through some documents. Hao Ren cleared his throat and said, "Good morning, madam, can you tell me where I should go to register my admission?"
The lady was surprised and then she raised her head to look at the dashing young man who was dressed in a black shirt and black jeans. His hair brushed with some carelessness adding to his rustic charm.
She smiled back and said, "Good morning to you, can you show me your admission letter?" Discover more novels at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Hao Ren nodded and handed her the letter with a calm face. The lady operated her computer for a few bits and pointed to her left and said, "Room number three, in that corridor. Mrs. Douglas will handle the procedure."
Hao Ren thanked her and left with his admission letter. Mrs. Douglas was in her middle ages, she did not like to talk much. Hao Ren was happy, she finished the process of document verification and then took out a token and said, "Take this to room number five, collect your uniform, time table, and books. They will also tell you about your dormitory arrangements. All the best."
The young man nodded and said, "Thank you."
Then he went through the procedures and sorted out everything. He was sent to the dormitory by a clerk. Hao Ren thanked the man and opened the lock of the door with a key. It was a single dormitory and the young man was happy.
He began to clean up the place and set up for the future, when the door was knocked. Hao Ren used his divine sense to check who it was and found that the fat warden was standing outside.
The young man opened the door, and the man spoke with a high attitude, "The principal has summoned you."
That was all, the fat man turned around and left. Hao Ren sighed and shook his head, before he locked the door, and walked out of the dormitory. He asked a few marshals who were posted on every turn about the principal's office and came to a high tower. He climbed the spiral staircase and stood at the entrance. He knocked on the door, and a deep voice sounded, "Come in."
Hao Ren pushed open the door, and scanned the old man with his divine sense before he said, "Greetings, Sir."
The principal nodded, and with a faint smile, he said, "Have a seat."
Hao Ren sat down and the Principal said, "I was surprised when you sent in the application letter. In all these years, people seem to have forgotten that the Prestige High School enrol students from all over the nation and it is not limited to the rich and affluent."
Hao Ren did not reply but only nodded with a faint smile, and the old man continued, "Getting in for you was easy, but Hao Ren, if your grades dropped, you will be placed in the B-section. Following that, C-section and if you fail even one subject, you will be expelled from the school. I know that the conditions are harsh but this is a collective decision of the board members. I am helpless against it."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "The rich and strong always try to monopolize the situation and manipulate things to get the best out of it. It is a standard operation, you do not have to worry about it, Sir. Had I not been confident, I would not have come here."
The principal was surprised by his words, but he nodded with a smile and said, "Good, I expect great things from you. I hope you can change the situation of the school."
Hao Ren nodded and after some talk, he left the office. He cracked his neck, and then left the premise to visit a supermarket nearby. The scenery was very contrasting in the capital, while there was a mall with the top international brands, there was also a supermarket that sold stuff for the middle class.
Hao Ren came out of the supermarket with three big plastic bags in his hand and found that a group of people were gathered together. However, that was not something that Hao Ren cared about. He spotted a face that was etched in his soul amidst the people, completely distressed.
