**Chapter 70: When Expectations Turn to Bad News…**
“Ring, ring!” The alarm clock sounded.
One hour had passed!
All the teachers immediately perked up, stepping out of the lounge in unison to gather at the exit of the forbidden zone.
Soon enough.
The first student emerged.
Behind him, a yellow glow appeared at the exit.
A yellow mission rating.
A low-level rating!
Just one level above the lowest gray, this was quite a poor rating. “Teacher.”
The student greeted his teacher respectfully.
His teacher, however, wore an unhappy expression.
“What happened? Why is it only a yellow rating? You managed a green rating in Forbidden Zone 2!”
Hearing his teacher’s reprimand, the student forced a wry smile. “Teacher, you’ll understand soon enough…”
Puzzled, the teacher waved him off. “Go on, get some rest.”
The student had no choice but to head toward the rest area.
Soon after.
The second student emerged.
His mission rating was also yellow.
And then.
The third student came through.
This time, it was a student from Martial God Academy…
Yet his mission rating was also yellow!
Wang Liang froze.
He recognized this student; he was paired with an A-grade hero talent, showing great promise. Previously, he had achieved a purple rating, a high level, in Forbidden Zone 2.
How could his performance be so poor this time?
“Sun Chengang, what’s going on? With your abilities, you should have done better.” Wang Liang couldn’t help but ask.
The student, Sun Chengang, sighed. “Teacher, you’ll know the reason once Lu Feng and his group return.”
Then.
The fourth student emerged—yellow rating… The fifth—yellow rating… The sixth—also yellow rating…
Whether they were top students from Martial God Academy or ordinary students from Martial Saint Academy, every single one came out with a yellow rating!
The teachers weren’t fools.
By now, they could tell something was off.
At that moment.
Another female student from Martial God Academy emerged, again with a yellow rating.
Wang Liang didn’t let her pass without questioning her. “Cao Fang, what happened in the forbidden zone? Why are all of you getting yellow ratings?”
Cao Fang pouted, her face full of frustration. “It’s all because of Zhao Fusheng and his group. They snatched up the zombie right at the start, leaving us with no chance to prove ourselves!”
As soon as she said this, the teachers finally understood what had happened. Their faces showed a mixture of surprise and bewilderment—they wanted to say something but didn’t know what…
In fact, this situation.
For less competitive schools, this was advantageous!
Lower-performing students rarely achieved high mission ratings, so securing a yellow rating across the board wasn’t too bad.
But for top schools like Martial God Academy…
This was disastrous!
Wang Liang’s expression darkened, his brows furrowing. “Didn’t they leave any zombies behind?”
Wang Liang had been aware of Zhao Fusheng and his group’s plan.
He had specifically instructed Lu Feng to leave some zombies at Renjia Town, so that other students could also earn high ratings.
But from the looks of it, Zhao Fusheng and his team hadn’t paid any attention to his instructions.
“No, not a single zombie. We had no opportunity to prove ourselves!” Cao Fang said with a deeply aggrieved expression.
Hearing this, a flash of anger passed through Wang Liang’s eyes.
If the majority of Martial God Academy students ended up with only a yellow rating, he would undoubtedly face criticism and even punishment upon returning as the lead instructor.
However, he kept his composure, saying calmly to Cao Fang, “Go on and rest.”
After that.
Students continued to emerge one after another.
Regardless of their previous performance, every single one of them had a yellow mission rating.
Equal for everyone.
Additionally.
The teachers noticed one advantage!
The attrition rate was practically zero for every school!
Most schools had all their students return safely.
With no zombies to face, the safety of the mission naturally increased dramatically…
The only person truly dissatisfied…
Was likely Wang Liang from Martial God Academy!
Martial God Academy, the country’s top university, couldn’t possibly be grouped with lesser schools.
This time, even if Zhao Fusheng and his team achieved a red rating, Wang Liang would likely face scrutiny from school leadership.
Wang Liang’s face grew darker as he thought about it…
Unless.
Zhao Fusheng and his team could pull off a miracle, securing the highest mission rating across the board.
That would mean a gold rating.
Like the student from Martial Saint Academy had previously achieved…
Thinking of Martial Saint Academy,
Wang Liang felt a little better.
He had confidence in Lu Feng and his team’s abilities to accomplish their assigned task.
It was said that.
The leadership at Martial Saint Academy treated those two students as treasures!
If those two top performers didn’t return, Yan Tai might be out of a job.
As time passed.
Most students had returned.
Only students from Martial Saint Academy and Martial God Academy were incomplete.
Martial Saint Academy was missing two students.
Martial God Academy was missing six!
With only minutes remaining, Yan Tai began to feel nervous.
He had a faint sense of foreboding.
Meanwhile, Wang Liang remained composed.
The best moments were always saved for last!
Finally.
New figures appeared at the forbidden zone’s exit.
A beautiful, elegant young woman emerged.
Seeing her, Yan Tai’s eyes lit up, a smile spreading across his face.
It was his student, Su Ziqiu!
Even better, the space behind her glowed with a dazzling golden light!
All the teachers were stunned.
The students were equally astonished!
It had only been a month.
Yet another top mission rating had appeared…
“Su Ziqiu!”
Yan Tai called out with delight, rushing over to meet her.
“Teacher!” Seeing Yan Tai, Su Ziqiu looked equally happy, smiling softly. “It’s so good to see you.”
“Wonderful! Wonderful! I’m so proud of you!”
Yan Tai was visibly emotional. “You make your teacher proud!”
Behind him,
Wang Liang watched Su Ziqiu’s appearance, his eyelid twitching.
‘Why? How is this girl still alive? And where are Zhao Fusheng and the others?’
Now, it was Wang Liang’s turn to feel that sinking sense of foreboding!
