Chapter 31: Recruiting!
“Xiao Yan, you’re here!”
As soon as he saw Yan Tai come in, the principal greeted him with a big smile, “You’ve worked hard this time, come sit and have some tea.”
Yan Tai walked to his seat but didn’t sit down. Instead, he anxiously said, “I’ll skip the tea, the situation is urgent. Let me report to the leadership first!”
The principal was a little surprised. “So urgent?”
Yan Tai nodded seriously and said, “Principal, back at the entrance of Forbidden Zone No. 2, if I hadn’t stopped them, those teachers from the other universities would have already started recruiting our students!”
“Principal, this student has set a new historical record, we can’t afford to ignore him!”
“If he gets snatched by another school, it wouldn’t just be a huge loss for our Martial Saint Academy—it would be far more than that…”
As he continued speaking, Yan Tai’s tone became increasingly urgent and sincere.
Hearing this, the leaders’ expressions also turned serious.
The principal, of course, wasn’t going to take Fang Ye lightly.
In fact…
As soon as they received Yan Tai’s notification, they had immediately called for an emergency meeting, discussing how to keep Fang Ye at their school.
This showed just how much they valued him!
What they hadn’t expected was that those teachers from the other universities would be so shameless as to try to poach a student right in front of Yan Tai…
That was just too brazen!
“Mr. Yan is right!” the principal said gravely. “It’s rare for us to get a student like Fang Ye. If we can’t keep him, the damage to our school’s reputation will be unprecedented! The name of Martial Saint Academy could very well become a laughingstock in the education sector!”
“On the other hand, if we can retain this student, the benefits to our academy would be immeasurable!”
At this point, the principal glanced at the board members and said sternly, “So from now on, keeping this student Fang Ye will be our top priority. We need to treat this as a tough battle! Any scoundrels trying to steal him from us must be firmly dealt with!”
The board members all nodded in agreement with the principal’s words.
However, someone did raise a counterpoint, questioning, “According to the records, this student Fang Ye only bonded with a useless C-level hero, which means his potential is limited… Is it really worth all this trouble for him?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Tai immediately rebutted, “Sir, bonding with a hero is just a temporary choice, it doesn’t entirely represent a person’s potential… Besides, during the incident in Forbidden Zone No. 2, the student with the red evaluation was about to be killed by a Licker. It was Fang Ye who risked his life to save her!”
The others hadn’t heard about this yet.
After listening, they were all shocked.
“Mr. Yan, are you saying Fang Ye not only saved that red-evaluation student but also escaped from the Licker?”
A teacher couldn’t help but ask, his tone filled with disbelief.
They, as teachers, knew exactly how terrifying a Licker was.
The creature was tough, incredibly strong, and exceptionally fast.
It was essentially a perfect killing machine!
For new students, encountering such a monster meant their chances of survival were almost zero.
But this student, Fang Ye, not only saved someone but also managed to escape himself…
For a newcomer, that was an astonishing achievement.
It clearly demonstrated this student’s potential!
“Yes!” Yan Tai nodded. “You can verify the details with the class monitor of Class 3, who is the red-evaluation student.”
With Yan Tai’s confirmation, the leaders’ estimation of Fang Ye rose even higher.
If they knew Fang Ye hadn’t just escaped, but had actually defeated the Licker with ease, their reactions would have been even more interesting…
“Alright!” One board member said excitedly, “Regardless of his potential, this student has certainly shown bravery and intelligence, at the very least!”
An older gentleman added, “I still have some influence at the Ministry of Education. I’ll take care of any official pressure.”
Upon hearing this, the principal was overjoyed!
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Elder Song!”
Elder Song had once been a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Education and had also been a teacher. His students were now scattered across the educational system, many of them holding important positions.
With his help, any official pressure on Martial Saint Academy would no longer be a threat.
…
Later that evening.
After finishing dinner at the cafeteria, Fang Ye was escorted by Yan Tai to the principal’s office.
The principal warmly welcomed him, making tea and serving water, treating Fang Ye like a VIP!
In the end, the principal not only waived all of Fang Ye’s tuition fees but also awarded him an annual scholarship of 200,000!
According to the principal, this was to ensure Fang Ye had no worries and could focus on conquering the forbidden zones and becoming a strong warrior as soon as possible!
Of course, Fang Ye wasn’t naive and fully understood their intentions.
In return, he gave the principal a reassuring promise.
But Fang Ye wasn’t foolish either.
He didn’t make any firm commitments.
If Martial Saint Academy ever mistreated him, he could always leave…
