Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

"Great job! You've done a wonderful job! You truly deserve to be outstanding students of Zhijiang Middle School!"

"Those guys who are sucking the blood of Zhejiang University, they still want to covet the title of Zhejiang No. 1 High School? They're dreaming!"

Xia Shen listened quietly below, not daring to break the atmosphere.

Actually, he felt that... those five people from Zhida Affiliated High School were stronger than all the other students in their class except for himself, Jiang Chuan, and Yan Yan.

Behind his desk, the old principal continued his impassioned speech.

"You eleven are among the top ten in the city in this unified examination. To recognize the honor you have brought to the school, the school is prepared to give you a great reward!"

Xia Shen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to get to the main topic so quickly. Well done, Principal!

"Here are ten different rewards. Please choose them in order of your points."

The old principal's voice was strong and clear, and he instructed his assistant to bring up ten boxes of different sizes.

Ranking by points? Then as the captain of the first-place team, I should be the undisputed number one, right?

Xia Shen was about to step forward to make a selection when she suddenly froze.

Wait a minute... how come there are ten rewards for eleven people?

What kind of game is this, using two peaches to kill three warriors?

The others present also noticed this and couldn't help but look at the principal.

The principal smiled and explained, "Xia Shen, don't make your choice yet, I have other plans."

Everyone suddenly realized, "They're giving me special treatment..."

However, no one had any objections, after all, Xia Shen's contributions to this field assessment were obvious to all.

His battle with Zhao Yi not only secured Xia Shen's team's first place.

This directly led to Zhang Ziheng's team securing second place.

Therefore, the only thing they looked at Xia Shen with was envy, not jealousy.

……

The other four members of Xia Shen's team had the right to choose first, so they simply stepped forward and made their selections together.

Choosing four out of ten, it's quite easy to find something that suits you.

A short while later, the four of them came down carrying the box, looking quite pleased with themselves.

Xia Shen was astonished. If ordinary rewards could satisfy these four rich kids so much, wouldn't his special rewards be out of this world?

While Zhang Ziheng's team went up to choose their rewards, Xia Shen whispered to Yan Yan beside her.

What did you choose?

Yan Yan snorted coldly and ignored him, clearly still fuming about what happened during the game yesterday.

Zhou Yuanyuan complained from the side, "She insists on stealing my Earth Gem! There's a Dragon Scale right next to it that's much more suitable for Gible... Xia Shen, aren't you going to do anything about her!"

Xia Shen glanced at the girl whose face was slightly flushed and reminded Zhou Yuanyuan, "I advise you to watch your words."

Seeing the murderous intent in Yan Yan's eyes, Zhou Yuanyuan finally realized what was happening and quickly shut up, no longer wanting to get involved in their affairs.

Zhou Yuanyuan wisely went to the other side to chat with Lin Weiyu, while Xia Shen nudged Yan Yan's shoulder.

"This Earth Gem..."

"It's for the Gible!"

Xia Shen didn't expose the arrogant girl; he just chuckled.

Yan Yan rolled her eyes at him angrily and simply turned her head away, ignoring him.

…………

Finally, all ten rewards were claimed, and everyone dispersed, leaving only Xia Shen and the principal in the office.

"Come, Xia Shen, come and sit down." The principal beckoned, smiling kindly.

Xia Shen walked over, thinking that this was not something that could be explained in just a few words.

After Xia Shen sat down, the old principal took a sip of tea before slowly speaking, "Have you ever thought about why your reward is the most special?"

Xia Shen wondered what else could be the reason. "Uh, because I performed the best in the assessment?"

The principal smiled and shook his head. "That's just the surface reason. What's the deeper one?"

A thought flashed through Xia Shen's mind, and he tentatively asked, "Could it be... that you want to use this assessment to determine whether I am qualified to receive this reward?"

It wasn't that Xia Shen was narcissistic, but the way the principal asked the question made Xia Shen feel that the reward was prepared for him, and all that was missing was the right opportunity.

The principal's admiration deepened. "Indeed, your intelligence is half as impressive as mine was in my youth!"

Xia Shen pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Your skin must be thick too."

The old principal continued, "I had this idea after Yiyi mentioned you to me."

Yi-yi? Is that Wang Yi-yi, the captain of the school team? What's her relationship with the principal?

The principal understood the confusion in his eyes and reminded him, "My surname is Wang."

Xia Shen realized, "Oh, you're her grandfather!"

headmaster:"......"

The principal coughed softly, "I'm her father..."

Xia Shen: "......"

Xia Shen couldn't tell if the principal looked older than his age or was simply still vigorous despite his age...

However, both topics seemed rather awkward, so we decided to avoid them and pretend nothing had happened.

"Please continue."

The principal, being a shrewd person, only felt awkward for a moment before continuing the conversation: "What do you think of the current graduating class of Zhida Affiliated High School?"

Xia Shen said seriously, "They are very strong. Their overall strength is greater than ours, and their top combatants are not weak either."

The top combat power he's referring to is definitely among his peers in their second year of high school.

The only difference between Xia Shen, Zhao Yi, and Jiang Chuan and amateur trainers is that they have a brand.

"That's right. In fact, they were already subtly ahead of us back in their senior year of high school," the principal said with a solemn expression.

"Therefore, I want to challenge the school's tradition and change our somewhat mediocre teaching methods."

"Confucius said, 'In education, there should be no discrimination.' For you top students, I have designed a more targeted and efficient training plan."

"So, are you willing to be a pioneer and revive the glory of our school?"

The old principal stared intently at Xia Shen, trying to inspire the young man sitting opposite him with his lofty ambitions.

But compared to the principal, who burned like a flame, Xia Shen was as calm as ice.

"May I hear the training plan you've devised first?"

He wasn't a hot-blooded young man, so naturally he wouldn't be excited about something that had just been promised.

Moreover, considering the four hours spent in the Washing Green, he felt that his and Garchomp's daily training intensity was already saturated.

"You young man, how come you have no vigor at all..." the principal muttered, and had no choice but to explain his training plan.

"Professional 9th ​​Dan one-on-one tutoring, selfless teaching of combat experience, skill transfer guaranteed to teach and learn."

Xia Shen was stunned by the first sentence.

Is there really such a thing as a free lunch?

Am I still asleep?

This kind of talk is probably only something those second-rate training centers on the internet would come up with in an advertisement.

It's still the kind of thing that nobody believes.

Let's not even talk about which professional 9th-dan trainer has the time to instruct newcomers.

Even if a certain vocational school student is moved by the reason that "the school is offering too much".

That must be an astronomical sum!

"So, has this professional ninth-dan trainer been found?" Xia Shen asked.

Let's hope it's not a play where the script is undecided and the actors haven't been cast.

Seeing Xia Shen's suspicious look, the old principal smiled slightly: "Right in front of you."

(This is the last chapter before it goes on sale; the few remaining drafts have all been used up.)

Going to type now =_=)

## Author's Note on Launching the Product

Okay guys, everyone look at me, look at me, I have something to announce!

This book is about to be released!

Although it was a bit rushed, it didn't really seem like there was anything to prepare.

Others have released a series of rapid updates, and so have I (although the timing of these rapid updates is a bit strange...).

Will I be the first author to release a massive update before the book is even published?

In conclusion, thank you to all the readers who have made it this far! I hope you'll consider subscribing!

Unlike those "new authors" who pretend to be newbies but are actually seasoned veterans, I am a genuine newcomer. Therefore, there are many shortcomings in my first book, and I have been working on improving them.

I also want to thank all the book lovers who have been interacting with me, whether they are friendly or not...

After rambling on for so long, I still want to talk about my ambitions.

This book had just surpassed 10,000 reads before it was released, and there were around 1,000 readers following it (and yet it still stopped being promoted in the light novel section, which is truly terrifying).

So our initial order target is set at 800!

I originally planned to set the price at 700, but I did a lot of updates before it went on sale, so raising it by 100 isn't unreasonable, right? ('?')

The rules for extra chapters are pretty much the same as those for other authors.
