Chapter 127 The Top Scholar
A month later, the college entrance examination results were released.
Xi Yu unsurprisingly achieved a high score, becoming the student with the highest score in City A and ranking second in the entire empire in total score.
The person happiest about her good grades was the principal of Haiying High School.
Whether it's Xi Yu, the "top scholar in literature," or Jiang Ze, the "top scholar in martial arts," both came from Haiying High School, which made the principal so happy that he couldn't stop smiling every day.
However, the principal was quite troubled by Xi Yu's choice of the Imperial Military Academy as her only university choice.
In the principal's office, Xi Yu and Jiang Ze were invited in at the same time.
As usual, the principal delivered a passionate speech, urging the two of them to bring honor to their alma mater after they left school.
Xi Yu listened to him with a patient smile, while Jiang Ze kept a straight face, his eyes beginning to show impatience.
As the only student in the entire City A to be admitted to the military academy with a score of 9.1, Jiang Ze had every reason to be arrogant. He was handsome with distinctive features, upright and outspoken, and had a good reputation at school, making him quite popular with the female students.
After being recommended to military academy, his status rose dramatically. Not only did the teachers at the school speak to him much more gently, but even the principal never gave him a hard time.
His classmates showered him with flattery, and female classmates relentlessly tried to get close to him.
Suddenly acquiring such a coveted status, Jiang Ze's usually composed mindset was somewhat swayed. Under the influence of this environment of flattery, he unconsciously developed a somewhat arrogant personality.
Xi Yu observed Jiang Ze discreetly. This originally steady and honest young man was still too inexperienced. A little bit of sweetness made him lose his most precious qualities.
If he maintains this mentality after arriving in the capital, it will greatly limit his development.
After the principal finished his opening remarks with a smile, he took out a thin piece of paper and handed it to Xi Yu.
Xi Yu immediately recognized the college application form she had filled out and understood why the principal had summoned her.
"Xi, are you sure you haven't made a mistake with the university you filled in on your application form?" the principal asked tactfully.
"Yes, I did choose a military academy in the capital, and I didn't make a mistake," she replied with a slight smile.
Jiang Ze, who was standing next to her, glanced at her with surprise in his eyes.
The principal shook his head and earnestly advised, "With your grades, you could easily choose the most famous university in the capital, and I could even give you a recommendation letter to enroll. But as for military academy... based on your previous military training grades, it's not very suitable."
"I understand, but I still want to give it a try," Xi Yu said slowly, her tone calm but carrying an undeniable certainty.
The principal was immediately at a loss and decided to use his persuasive skills to bring this stubborn student back to the right path.
“Principal, I understand your concern for me. If I fail the military academy's entrance exam, I will choose another school. Please rest assured,” she said firmly.
The principal swallowed back the words that had just risen to his throat and nodded in agreement. He thought to himself that military academies usually hold their entrance exams earlier than regular universities, so even if she failed, she would still have plenty of time to submit applications to other universities.
After Xi Yu and Jiang Ze were released from the principal's office, Jiang Ze suddenly walked up to her.
