Chapter 43: She Forgot About It
Chapter 43: She Forgot About It
“So, how did you think of Bonding with a Cotton Worm?” Qiao Sang asked.
“I want to evolve it into a Bashutter, which is super cool.” Fang Sisi said, pulling out her phone to search for a picture of a Bashutter to show Qiao Sang.
“I know, but to evolve it into a Bashutter, you need to take it to the Beilun Region, right?” Qiao Sang said.
The Beilun Region was far from their Yuhua Region.
Currently, it was known that Cotton Worm had five evolution forms, one of which, the Bashutter, required a specific environment to evolve.
The Beilun Region provided that environment.
“No, I asked a Familiar Trainer, and they said it only needs to stay in a -40°C environment for an hour. I can hire an ice-type familiar to create that environment,” Fang Sisi explained.
Seeing that Fang Sisi had everything figured out, Qiao Sang nodded and asked the usual High School Entrance Exam question: “How did you do this time?”
Fang Sisi shrugged, looking helpless. “304 points, I can only go to a vocational high school.”
Before Qiao Sang could think of how to comfort her, Fang Sisi asked, “What about you?”
“359 points,” Qiao Sang replied.
“Are you serious?” Fang Sisi’s eyes widened.
“I’ll show you the scorecard when it comes out,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Before Fang Sisi could say anything, the class suddenly became restless.
Qin Shou had just entered with his familiar, Laos.
When Qiao Sang brought Fangflare in, everyone chose to keep their distance, knowing that fire-type familiars weren’t exactly known for their good temper. Getting too close wasn’t a good idea.
But no one knew much about Laos, and the fact that it was a rare familiar from abroad was enough to make everyone excited.
Qiao Sang looked over and saw that Qin Shou was completely surrounded by a group of classmates. It was impossible to even see Laos, let alone Qin Shou himself.
Even Guo Linze, who had been making sarcastic comments before, ran over. “Bro Shou! Bro Shou! Let me see!”
The commotion lasted for about ten minutes until the class teacher entered, and everyone settled down.
Only then did Qiao Sang get a good look at Laos.
Standing about 80 cm tall, it had two bull horns on its head and shallow red eyes with fin-like markings that looked like eyeliner. It was trembling slightly, huddled in Qin Shou’s arms, clearly having been scared by the crowd.
The class teacher was distributing the scorecards.
“Where’s Xie Jiayi?” Qiao Sang asked.
Xie Jiayi sat in front of Fang Sisi and had suggested they all apply to Haomu Beastmaster High School.
Fang Sisi looked at the empty seat in front of her, then turned her head and whispered, “You didn’t know because you weren’t there on the day of the Brain Domain Awakening. Xie Jiayi’s Brain Domain Awakening failed.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback and didn’t say anything.
Each year, only 73% of the High School Entrance Exam candidates successfully awakened their Brain Domains, while 27% failed. Given the distribution of this ratio across different schools, it wasn’t surprising that a few in their class didn’t succeed.
Xie Jiayi’s parents were both Beastmasters, so the chances of her awakening should have been high. This failure must have been a significant blow to her.
But sometimes, reality was unpredictable. Dai Shushu, a child of ordinary parents, managed to awaken her Brain Domain on her own, while Xie Jiayi, a child of Beastmasters, failed.
Soon, the class teacher called Qiao Sang’s name.
When she went up to get her scorecard, she pulled hard but couldn’t tear it off.
Qiao Sang looked up, confused, at the class teacher.
The class teacher’s smile was so wide it looked like a chrysanthemum, and his wig jiggled with his laughter. He then straightened his body, turned to face the class, and announced loudly, “I have some news to share. Our classmate, Qiao Sang, has worked hard and, as expected, has been admitted to Holy Water High School!”
With those words, the entire class was stunned.
Diligently studying?
That Qiao Sang who usually slept in class, failed exams, and had been absent from school for the past few days?
They had never expected anything from Qiao Sang.
And Holy Water High School?
Who?
The one who had always been near the bottom of the class?!
Qiao Sang: “???”
...
Verdant Haven.
Qiao Sang returned home, both physically and mentally exhausted.
Her mother was humming a tune in her room.
Qiao Sang pushed open the door to her mother's room and saw clothes, bags, and shoes scattered all over the bed and floor.
"You're back, perfect. Come help me pick out a nice outfit", her mother said with a smile.
"Mom, what's going on?" Qiao Sang asked, momentarily forgetting why she had come in.
"Go away, don't be silly. Didn't you get accepted into Holy Water High School? I've invited some people to celebrate at Yujing Hotel the day after tomorrow. Tell me, which outfit should I wear?" her mother explained.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Mom, it's really not necessary."
"How can it not be necessary? It's a rare chance to feel proud, of course we have to celebrate. By the way, I'm thinking of putting up a banner. What should it say?" her mother asked while trying on clothes in front of the mirror.
Qiao Sang sighed, seeing the situation and already knowing the answer, but she asked for confirmation, "Did you tell my class teacher about me getting into Holy Water High School?"
"Of course, I had to call and thank her for helping improve your grades in the final stage. I also invited her to the celebration", her mother admitted.
Qiao Sang didn't know what to say; as long as her mother was happy, that was all that mattered.
But the speed was truly impressive; it seemed like she had called everyone they knew...
For the rest of the time, Qiao Sang helped her mother choose an outfit. After much deliberation, they finally settled on a dress that matched the color of Fangflare's fur, thanks to his decisive input.
In the afternoon, her mother went for a beauty treatment, and Qiao Sang took the subway to Holy Water High School to confirm her enrollment.
This marked the official start of her journey at Holy Water High School.
...
...
June 26th.
Yujing Hotel.
"Qiao Sang, come over. This is Aunt Pingping, she held you when you were little", her mother said, dressed in a red dress and with her hair neatly styled, beckoning Qiao Sang over.
"Hello, Aunt", Qiao Sang greeted politely.
Qiao Sang's appearance was no different from usual, but Fangflare had been dressed up. His flame-like fur was neatly groomed, and a black bow tie was elegantly tied around his neck, complemented by a matching black triangular pair of sunglasses, making him look incredibly handsome.
"Qiao Sang has grown so much", Aunt Pingping said, her eyes drawn to Fangflare.
Before they could chat much, her mother had already pulled Qiao Sang to another table, where she recognized some familiar faces.
"Hello, Teacher", Qiao Sang greeted with a smile.
"Qiao Sang, when I first met you, I knew you had the potential to study. You're the only one among all my students who awakened on your own. You didn't disappoint me by getting into the best high school in Hanggang", the class teacher stood up and said with a grin.
Before Qiao Sang could respond, her mother interjected, "Not at all, it's all thanks to your teaching. She even scored zero on a recent exam. If you hadn't stuck with her and taught her diligently, how could she have done so well on the High School Entrance Exam?"
"Where, where, it's all because she studied hard."
"Teacher, don't be modest. If you hadn't been so strict, how could she have made it?"
"Please, stop saying that. She was absent for almost two weeks at the end."
The room suddenly fell silent.
After a few seconds, her mother looked at Qiao Sang and asked, "Absent... for two weeks?"
Qiao Sang: "...!"
Damn, she had completely forgotten about that!
