Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 21 School Invitation

"Sister, have you forgotten that I'm only level 2? Even if I participate in a team competition, it's only in the level 2 group. If I bring you along, I won't be able to find teammates. Are you expecting me to take on 1v5?" Is she blindly trusting her, or does she want to drag her onto the stage to perform an entertainment show?

"Waaaaah... Please think of something! I really want to participate, why am I a priest..." Fang Yaqi stomped her feet in frustration. Although awakening a profession was something to be happy about, being a priest was really driving her crazy. She had always admired the heroic figure of a warrior charging into battle, or even an elemental mage if all else failed.

While Fang Yaqi was still throwing a tantrum with Lin Manman, several adults hurriedly entered through the registration office. The group of well-dressed middle-aged and elderly people in formal attire stood out among the students.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Lin Manman?" The one who asked the question was a man in his thirties who wore glasses, a shirt and trousers, and looked very refined.

After registering, Lin Manman found the Honey Badger and his companions too conspicuous and put them back into her spirit pet space. However, because the three spirit pets had caused a great disturbance to others, all the students still at the registration desk knew that the owner of the three spirit pets was Lin Manman.

Upon hearing the question, all the students turned to look at Lin Manman, and even Fang Yaqi stood up straight and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"So you're Lin Manman? What a young hero! And so beautiful too." The man looked at Lin Manman and immediately smiled as he walked towards her.

Suddenly, a young female teacher with long, wavy hair darted out from the side, stepping in front of Lin Manman and grabbing her hand. "Hello, Lin, I'm an admissions officer from Lisheng Vocational High School. My surname is Su. I believe you have exceptional talent and are very suitable to study at our school. We will definitely..."

"Hey, hey, what's going on? I got here first! Lin, I'm from Pushui Vocational High School, you..." The man with glasses got anxious when someone beat him to it and quickly stepped forward to push past Teacher Su.

"Young people these days have no manners at all. Don't they know how to respect the elderly and care for the young? Let me speak first." A short, thin old man followed closely behind. The old man was dressed in clothing with a strong Chinese style and was leaning on a cane. He was actually stomping the ground with the cane.

"Principal Li..." The teachers around him looked embarrassed. "If you speak first, how can we possibly get a share?"

"Grandpa...why are you joining in the fun?" Upon seeing the old man, Li Yuanhao, who had been hiding among the students, suddenly came over.

"It's Yuan Hao! Congratulations on awakening the Holy Sword Warrior!" The old man's expression immediately softened when he saw that it was his grandson.

"Grandpa, let's just forget about Lin Manman. You don't even know..." Li Yuanhao looked at Lin Manman with a constipated expression, then looked at his grandfather.

Lin Manman also snapped out of her daze. So this was from admissions officers at various schools? It was probably a message from teachers at the other schools who had awakened at the same time, but it arrived way too quickly!

And this Li Yuanhao, so that's how they've got this connection. No wonder he's so arrogant.

Seeing his grandson's reaction, Principal Li understood what was going on.

"You had a conflict with Lin? That must be your problem. Do you think I don't know your personality? Apologize to him!" Principal Li was obviously aware of his grandson's character, and in his disappointment, he raised his cane to hit him.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me! I apologize, I apologize!" Li Yuanhao felt utterly humiliated, so he closed his eyes and, in a fit of desperation, yelled, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for being so talkative. I won't do it again next time."

Lin Manman blinked. It seemed that this grandson was indeed a real grandson. He was obviously used to being disciplined and was so adept at admitting his mistakes.

"It's nothing, just a little argument, I didn't take it to heart."

Fang Yaqi glanced at Lin Manman and felt that her sister was about to take off. She had to cling to her sister's coattails and enjoy a life of effortless success.

"Hey, this kid's just a bit mischievous and has a sharp tongue, but he's not really a bad person. I'm the principal of Puhuai No. 1 Vocational High School. If you come to our school, I'll hand this kid over to you to teach a lesson!" Principal Li glared hatefully at Li Yuanhao, who was on the verge of tears.

Is this really his biological grandfather? Li Yuanhao almost burst into tears.

The admissions officers around were almost petrified. They had seen admissions officers who would stop at nothing, but they had never seen anyone offer their grandson as a bribe.

Lin Manman choked up. No, she didn't want to get involved. She already had three kids to take care of, and there might be more in the future; she didn't want to take on more work for herself.

"Hehe, thank you all for thinking of me, teachers and Principal Li, but I still want to take the big exam and see how I do."

"Of course, the big exam is an important and necessary stage in life. But our school promises that as long as you come to our school and your exam score is above the high school cutoff, you can get a full scholarship." Teacher Su, who spoke first, seemed to be a very good at seizing opportunities and was the first to make her offer.

"Our school's philosophy emphasizes ability over theory. As long as you're willing to study at our school, you can get a full scholarship without needing high exam scores," the male teacher from Pushui High School quickly promised.

"And our school..."

"Our Puhuai No. 1 Vocational High School offers full scholarships of 50,000 yuan per semester. If students perform exceptionally well during their studies, they can also apply for the national scholarship of up to 100,000 yuan. In the entire Puhuai district, only our school can offer such a high amount of scholarships." Principal Li, seeing that the competition had become clear, pulled out his trump card.

As expected, after Principal Li finished speaking, the other teachers looked at each other and unanimously showed expressions of giving up.

"Thank you all for your kind words, but I still need to go home and discuss it with my family about which school to apply to." Lin Manman passed the buck to her mother, since she really couldn't decide where to go to school on her own.

"Lin is so filial! You're right, such a big thing should definitely be discussed with family. Let's exchange contact information, and we can talk about any conditions later." As soon as Teacher Su heard Lin Manman say this, her expression immediately brightened, and she quickly took out her bracelet.

"And me too. Our school is really good at cultivating talent. Let's exchange contact information and talk in detail later." The male teacher from Pushui High School quickly followed up.

Principal Li sighed slightly with regret. What was once a certainty had now become uncertain. There was nothing he could do; the child wasn't wrong, after all, how could they come all this way to school without the approval of their family?

Several admissions officers exchanged their contact information, chatted for a while, and then went their separate ways, presumably to find other promising students.

"I have to say, schools near this temple really have an advantage," Lin Manman said, clicking her tongue as she collected the contact information of admissions officers from five schools.

"Otherwise, how could it become the central area?" Fang Yaqi pouted, glancing sideways at her. The lemon scent emanating from her was practically fermenting. She perfectly embodied what it means to be afraid of your best friend's hardship, yet also afraid of your best friend driving a Range Rover.
