12: Everyone in the world will be amiable
"Yu Xiu, you brat, you finally came to school. It's not easy to see you."
Principal He hadn't even arrived yet, but his hearty laughter had already reached them.
"Is the Principal always this amiable?"
Zhuang Wenya looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Our Principal has nothing to do with being amiable; he's only amiable to your cousin," Yang Duling explained in a low voice.
"What exactly is my cousin's status?"
Seeing the Principal approach, Zhuang Wenya immediately stopped letting her mind wander and put on the appearance of a well-behaved girl. "Hello, Principal!"
The Principal just nodded and then looked at Yu Xiu. "You must win honor for me in this afternoon's event!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Yu Xiu asked, puzzled. "Isn't it supposed to be the selection for the Genius Training Camp? If honor needs to be won, that's a matter for all the students in the school."
"You brat!" the Principal explained. "This time, the city leaders and the leaders of the Martial Arts Association are all here for you."
"For me?"
"That's right. Who told you to be such a freak? A sixteen-year-old Grandmaster; it's hard not to attract the attention of the higher-ups."
Zhuang Wenya, who was standing to the side eavesdropping, looked at her cousin in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost. The sentence "a sixteen-year-old Grandmaster" kept looping in her mind.
So, cousin really is a Grandmaster; he didn't lie to me. It's actually true.
No wonder cousin was so confident that he could definitely help his cousin get into the school.
A Grandmaster!
And a sixteen-year-old Grandmaster at that. If I were the Principal, I would have to treat him like royalty too.
Wait!
Cousin is still a third-year high school student, which means, has cousin already pre-ordered the Top Scorer spot?
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"That's not all. I heard that Huaxia University and other top-ten universities are already preparing to recruit you early."
The Principal laughed helplessly. "You really don't understand the true value of a sixteen-year-old Grandmaster."
"After the news was passed up, a group of big shots went almost crazy."
"However, this move of yours has also shocked that group of Geniuses in the capital."
"I'm afraid those people are going to start devilish special training for their Family's Genius descendants."
"With less than a year left until the Martial Exam, those people can completely catch up, and your pressure will be immense by then."
The Principal sighed. "Actually, I blame myself; I shouldn't have passed on the news about you. The foundations of those big Families in the capital are too deep; us commoners simply can't compare."
"I originally wanted you to take the Martial Exam and enter Huaxia University as the national Top Scorer. By then, your value would be even higher, and the treatment you could enjoy would be even better."
"But I'm afraid that won't work now. I suggest you accept the special recruitment. Before those Geniuses in the capital have a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, your advantage is still very large, and you can get more resources."
"Although those big Families in the capital have deep foundations, wanting to achieve a Breakthrough to Grandmaster in one year will not only cost them a fortune but also leave them worrying about whether they can succeed."
"After all, the transition from Martial Artist to the Grandmaster Realm is a hurdle, and Huaxia University must be very clear about that."
"Rather than betting on a future Grandmaster, it's better to place the bet on you."
Yu Xiu remained very calm and showed no sense of urgency. After all, his current strength was not that of a Grandmaster, but a Great Grandmaster.
"Principal, if I choose special recruitment, can I enroll and start studying immediately?"
"No!" The Principal shook his head. "You still have to wait until the Martial Exam is over."
"Then I understand."
Yu Xiu had originally thought that if special recruitment allowed for immediate enrollment and entering classes at Huaxia University, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds again.
But the answer the Principal gave was to wait until the Martial Exam ended. In that case, there was simply no need to agree to the special recruitment.
It would be better to enter the Genius Training Camp. With his strength, he could completely advance all the way to the national Genius Training Camp.
By then, his gains would certainly be abundant.
Gathering Geniuses from all over the country—not to mention the improvement in strength, just the Talent and the General Skills and Techniques would be enough to make him ecstatic.
"What did you understand, you brat?"
"I'm refusing the special recruitment!" Yu Xiu chuckled. "Principal, you've invested so much in me, so I must repay you as the Martial Exam Top Scorer. Don't worry, I've already pre-ordered this year's Martial Exam Top Scorer spot; no one can take it away."
"You brat, you've got guts."
The Principal was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily. "You suit my taste; you're as arrogant and cocky as I am."
Yu Xiu raised an eyebrow. "Principal, with your strength, you haven't been beaten up for being cocky, have you?"
"I—"
The Principal was speechless for a moment.
No need to think; he must have been beaten badly.
Seeing Yu Xiu's amused expression, the Principal couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it. He turned his head to look at Yu Qianqian and asked, "Is this your sister?"
Yu Xiu nodded. "Qianqian, say hello to Uncle Principal."
"Hello, Uncle Principal!"
"Good, good, good, what a good girl. Don't ever learn from your brother; he's so asking for a beating." The Principal said amiably, "However, you can learn your brother's Talent for martial arts. Other than that, don't learn anything else from him, you know?"
Yu Qianqian also knew he was joking, so she smiled sweetly and didn't respond.
"Qianqian! After you recover, how about coming to Uncle Principal's school to study?" the Principal asked with a smile.
Yu Qianqian nodded heavily. "Mm, Qianqian will work hard."
She also knew that No. 1 High School was the best high school in all of Jiangtan City, and it wasn't easy to get in.
"Hard work is naturally necessary, but Uncle Principal can recruit you specially."
The Principal chuckled. "Our school also has a middle school division. When the time comes, just come directly to school, and Uncle Principal will waive all your fees."
"This..."
Yu Qianqian was a bit at a loss.
Yu Xiu also saw this and chimed in, "Not only that, let the Principal pay for your future school meals too. Otherwise, we'd be calling him Uncle Principal for nothing."
"No problem, I'll cover it all."
The Principal smiled and said, "Alright, take Qianqian into the school for a tour. The city leaders will be here soon."
"However, don't go too far, you brat. You must come to the event venue; you are our main character today."
Yu Xiu nodded, said a word to Yang Duling, and then pushed the wheelchair away.
When passing by the group of teachers, the group of teachers all took the initiative to greet Yu Xiu one by one.
Whether they were third-year high school teachers or not, all of them greeted Yu Xiu without exception.
Nowadays, Yu Xiu's big name had already spread throughout the circle of teachers at No. 1 High School.
After all, the purpose of the city leaders and the Martial Arts Association leaders coming today was Yu Xiu.
"Brother, the teachers and Principal at No. 1 High School are so amiable! I like it here."
Walking along the way, Yu Qianqian naively thought that the teachers here were all so amiable.
However, Yu Xiu didn't point out the truth.
Anyway, as long as he was there for a day, whether it was the teachers at No. 1 High School or the teachers at Huaxia University in the future, they would be amiable to his sister.
As long as he maintained the posture of a strong person and kept himself beyond everyone's reach.
Then, everyone his sister met in the future would be amiable.
This was also one of Yu Xiu's goals.
Studying is to reason with others; practicing martial arts is to make others reason with me.
