53 Leaving Earth (1/2)

”What? You want to apply for leave?” In the office, the female head-teacher of the 17th class asked. She looked at Feng Lin with a grim countenance.

You skipped class for a week without a valid reason. I have yet to ask for an explanation from you.

After you've finally shown up, you're telling me that you want to apply for leave again?

Do you even care about the school rules?

This semester will be ending in three weeks' time, yet you suddenly want to apply for leave. What is the meaning of this?

...

The female head-teacher stared at Feng Lin, wanting to find out what on earth he was thinking.

”That's right! I want to enter seclusion for training!” Feng Lin said this in a calm tone, yet his words brimming with a firm determination.

It was because regardless if the female head-teacher was agreeable or not, he would still leave.

The only reason why he came to apply for leave was because he hoped that the head-teacher could be more accommodating. It would save him a lot of hassle.

What kind of tone was that?

When the female head-teacher heard his statement, she felt very uncomfortable.

”No...” Her anger hit the ceiling, and she was about to reject when she suddenly recalled what the principal had said before. Hence, she swallowed her words.

The principal had instructed her that Feng Lin was a seeded examinee that the school was going all out to nurture. If he were to have any requests for his cultivation, she must do her best to satisfy them.

Now, with Feng Lin using cultivation as an excuse to apply for leave, the request was very reasonable and she had no reason to object.

She could only hold back her grievance and changed what she was trying to say. ”Alright! Since the reason is for your cultivation, I'll agree to it. You've already passed the test and obtained the right to go for the college examinations, so it doesn't matter even if you don't come for the final examinations. You can just cultivate at ease and try to get better results for the college examinations!”

”Hmmm?” Feng Lin felt that this was strange. He had already been prepared to be rejected and had been planning to forcibly leave. He hadn't expected the female head-teacher to suddenly change her mind and speak to him with a good attitude. He didn't even have to take the final examinations.

Was this still that obstinate Abbess Miejue [1] from before?

Although he didn't understand why this had happened, it was a good thing and he didn't want to think much about it.

”Thank you, head-teacher!” Feng Lin replied politely and walked out of the office. He didn't even attend the remaining classes and headed out with big strides.

At the look of his departing figure, the female head-teacher seemed to want to say something but held back. In the end, she sighed and didn't say a word.

This kid had been one of the worst performers in the class previously, and she hadn't taught him much before. His sudden uprise had nothing to do with her, and there was no way that she could meddle in his affairs!

Moreover, the principal had already taken a liking to him, and Feng Lin didn't have to fear anything. There was no way she could have him under her control!

Although she was the head-teacher, she couldn't take charge of her own student.

The female head-teacher felt very tired all of a sudden.

After leaving the school, Feng Lin took the maglev train and headed toward Huaxia's ”Nine Continents” space shuttle port.

The maglev train moved rapidly, traveling a distance of over 100 kilometers within ten or so minutes. After alighting, a majestic construction stood towering before Feng Lin's eyes. Over 30 space shuttles were stopped there, with each of them being the size of an aircraft carrier back in Ancient Earth.

The space shuttle that stood out the most was one that was entirely in black and gold colors. Its surface was layered with aerospace material and faintly reflected light. It had a pair of great wings, reflecting a strong sense of elegance in technology.

This was the luxurious Harley-989 passenger space shuttle that Feng Lin was going to board. It had a pair of wings that were similar to that of an airplane, but its main body was massive like that of a huge ship.
