Chapter 544 The National College League (1/2)
”Mr. Liu, what are you doing here?” Gao Peng smiled as he said teasingly, ”Did you come here because you knew beforehand of my return?”
Teacher Liu smiled obsequiously and said, ”If I had known of your return, not only me but the vice-principal and heads of each department would definitely have been present. We're getting ready to participate in the college league. The preliminary round will be held in Yuzhou, and Chairman Ji wanted to let all the participating students come here to boost their spirits.”
”Oh, I see.” Gao Peng nodded, though in reality, he didn't know anything about the college league.
He had been unable to continue holding the post of principal after he left Earth Star, so he had asked Grandfather to replace him as the principal of Tiange Academy to help him manage the school. He couldn't trust others to take his post, so he'd had no choice but to trouble his grandfather.
Grandpa walked towards him from behind and threw him a glare. He felt irritated just thinking about the conversation he had overheard between Gao Peng and Miss Bei the night before.
How could he be so foolish? I was way better when I wooed his grandmother. His father was quite cunning, too, when he wooed my daughter. Why is he so inarticulate? I don't even know when I'll get a great-grandson.
Ji Hanwu walked over and the students who had been whispering immediately stopped talking and looked at the principal obediently.
”The second National College League will be held this year. You placed eighth last year, which wasn't satisfactory, but your efforts were acknowledged. I hope you can work hard and strive for a better placement this year,” said Ji Han Wu solemnly.
”If you achieve a better result than last year, each participant will be rewarded a Commander-tier familiar of perfect quality. If you get into the top three, each participant can choose a Commander-tier familiar, including familiars of the Epic grade, depending on your foresight,” Ji Han Wu said with a meaningful look.
The students started breathing heavily when they heard the principal's promise.
Ep-Epic-grade!! They all knew what this meant. It meant bright prospects and a promising future.
”Sir, what if we get first place?” one of the students mustered the courage to ask.
Ji Hanwu shifted his gaze to that student. The student's courage almost collapsed under his sharp gaze. ”If you win, I will reward you all with an Epic-grade familiar. The old principal will customize them himself.” Ji Han Wu suddenly pointed to Gao Peng, who was standing beside him.
Gao Peng was innocently dragged into the topic. He looked at the excited students and nodded. ”All right. If you win, I will customize anything you want, be it a lion, tiger, wolf, or roe deer.”
”Quick, thank the principal.” Teacher Liu was just as excited as the students. He knew the godlike abilities of the principal. Even he was envious of the students. It was such a great opportunity to have the old principal to customize a familiar for them. Naturally, winning first place was also extremely hard. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was incredibly hard.
He sighed. He could only hope that the students would grasp this chance.
It was getting late. Teacher Liu bid goodbye to Gao Peng and Ji Hanwu and left with the students and their familiars in a huge truck.
”Grandpa, what is the National College League? This is the first time I'm hearing about it,” Gao Peng asked Grandfather after they had left.
”College League this, College League that, that's the only thing on your mind!” Ji Hanwu grew angry while looking at his sloppy grandson, but after all, it was his only grandson… His expression brightened after a few seconds of Gao Peng's shameless behavior.
He glared at Gao Peng and said softly, ”Bei Qing Yan is a good girl. She's kind-hearted and has big hips, so she can carry children. You better get married quickly, but if you really don't have feelings for her, then don't waste her time.”
