The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

"Ah?"

Bai Jinxuan was a little confused.

Why did the teacher suddenly call her over? Did she get caught daydreaming in class? Oh no, Zhang Hu is going to nag her again.

Tiger truly cherishes talent. He often tries to persuade Bai Jinxuan to stop studying magic, saying she's not cut out for it and that following him to conquer the martial arts world is what she should be doing.

Not only that, recently Tiger has become immune to Bai Jinxuan's arguments. Even if Bai Jinxuan says that she has reached the pinnacle, Tiger will refute her by saying that geniuses and ordinary people should be considered separately.

"At No. 5 Middle School, you shouldn't be competing with first-year students. You should think about the third-year students; many of them have already reached the third-tier level! Besides, No. 2 Middle School also has top talents like you. How can you slack off?!"

"You're completely wasting your talent!"

"I'm begging you, Zhang Hu, please come and practice martial arts! If you don't practice now, all your energy will dissipate! Don't force your teacher to kneel down..."

Recalling Zhang Hu's previous antics, Bai Jinxuan felt her head spinning. How come she never realized that Brother Hu was so good at creating trouble? Give me back that fierce Brother Hu!

With a mix of thoughts in her mind, Bai Jinxuan followed her magic teacher into the office.

The moment she entered the sect's inner chambers, all the elders turned their gazes to her, their eyes filled with the curiosity and fascination of someone who had recently gained fame. "Not bad, not bad..."

Moreover, Zhang Hu was also there; he was sitting in his seat making tea, seemingly waiting for him on purpose.

This gave Zhang Hu a reason to force himself to go for a run.

Bai Jinxuan could already imagine what he would say: "Bai Jinxuan, didn't you say you were going to excel in both areas? How come you're daydreaming in class? Seriously, if you spent a little more time on martial arts..."

Ugh, so annoying. Even Yao's dad doesn't cause this much trouble.

Seeing Bai Jinxuan standing still, the magic mechanics teacher pulled up a leather chair in the middle and said, "Bai Jinxuan, sit down."

"Oh... Oh...!"

Bai Jinxuan nodded, put her legs together, placed her hands on her thighs, and waited for her fate.

Zhang Hu smiled and asked first, "How do you feel about your joint entrance exam?"

"good."

The silver-haired girl recalled that apart from the first magic mechanics exam, which she found quite difficult, the other exams were pretty easy. She just casually warmed up her body, ran around a bit, and threw a few punches using martial arts techniques.

All of these were her daily training sessions in the dungeon.

To be honest, she felt that this sect competition was a bit rigged. Compared to magic, martial arts was much simpler. Apart from adding a few more events and obstacles, there was basically no change.

Magic is a different story. She's still upset about that game of stacking chess pieces; the person who set the question was just deliberately trying to annoy her.

Upon hearing Bai Jinxuan's words, the elders gasped, and the temperature in the entire office dropped several degrees.

"The joint exam results will be out soon, and Teacher Zhang can't wait. It's break time now, so she called you over to wait with her."

The magic mechanics teacher finally explained her purpose, and she also handed Bai Jinxuan a few pieces of candy of various flavors.

Seeing this, Zhang Hu quickly said, "Teacher Li, how can you feed your students junk food?"

"Oh...sorry, these candies are for humanities students to think, I forgot Bai Jinxuan is a science student."

And so, Bai Jinxuan could only watch helplessly as the teacher took the candies away with her large hand.

Tiger has done all sorts of bad things!

She secretly clenched her fists, but dared not show it on her face; Bai Jinxuan still had that basic respect.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little awkward, so Teacher Li opened the drawer, took out a sparkling magic crystal, and placed it in Bai Jinxuan's hand.

"As an alternative, this teacher is for you."

"Well, thank you teacher."

Bai Jinxuan's eyes lit up as she accepted the exquisite lotus-shaped crystal.

A magic crystal is a magical medium, also known as a universal magical tool, which can conveniently construct a magic circle within it.

As we all know, magic circles require magic power to activate. Magic power has two sources: either it is transmitted by the magician himself, or it is charged by magic crystals from the outside.

Ordinary magical items can only be used from one of these two sources. For example, the telekinetic sword and Gan Jiang Mo Xie can only be used by the magician's own magic power or the magic power that a martial artist converts into qi.

The magic crystal possesses both, and its existence can be said to save magicians the tedious process of constructing magic circles. They can directly use magic by filling it with magic power, which is very convenient.

Unfortunately, not all magic crystals can be carved, like this...

A small magic crystal is barely big enough to hold a low-level fireball spell; trying to stuff it with the kind of illusion Yao Yao used at the arts gala is just wishful thinking.

Even so, Bai Jinxuan was very happy. It was the first time she had received a gift from Teacher Li, and it had special value, just like the gold coins Zhang Hubao had given her.

Before Bai Jinxuan could be happy for long, the office suddenly became agitated.

"The results are in!"

As one of the sect elders excitedly shouted out a slogan, the other elders in the office instantly teleported to his side.

"How did Bai Jinxuan do? What was her ranking?"

Before the computer interface even appeared, Zhang Hu rushed in to ask. If it weren't for the other elders blocking him, his impatient nature would probably have led him to kick the person to the ground and investigate himself.

Seeing this scene, Bai Jinxuan, who was sitting obediently in her chair waiting, couldn't help but complain in her heart:

They're checking my grades, but I feel like I'm just standing there...

Let's not just sit here. Even Teacher Li has joined in, and I feel a little awkward sitting here.

So, she tiptoed past the sect elders, found a gap that suited her perfectly, and peeked her head out.

On the computer screen, his name stood out from the crowd.

[Rank: 3] [Name: Qian Wanyu/No.1 Middle School] [Score: 726]

......

In the rankings, No. 1 Middle School occupied 7 of the top 10 spots, with No. 2 Middle School taking 2 and No. 5 Middle School taking 1.

And that No. 5 Middle School is myself.

With a score of 744, he achieved first place in the joint entrance examination by a mere one point.

Bai Jinxuan fell into deep thought. She had thought she would definitely get a perfect score, but it turned out she was still six points short. It seemed she still needed to improve...

Halfway through my thoughts, a loud tiger's roar suddenly erupted from the office.

"First place! Did you all see that?! It's first place!!!"

Zhang Hu's voice was so loud that even the vice principal was alerted and rushed over to scold him: "Xiao Hu, what are you yelling about? This is a teaching building, not your training ground..."

"Vice Principal! Our school has produced the top scorer in the joint exam!"

"..."

After a brief silence, the vice principal frowned and glanced at the screen.

He then rushed to Bai Jinxuan, his trembling hands patting the girl's shoulders, large tears sliding down his cheeks.

His voice was even louder than Zhang Hu's.

"Bai Jinxuan, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Forehead......"

Bai Jinxuan was startled and waved her hand, saying, "Is...is it really that exaggerated...?"

"Yes." Although Teacher Li's eyes were red, her voice was still very clear. "That's No. 1 High School. They have always disdained to take joint exams with other schools, and all their resources are opaque. This is the first time people have come to know the teaching level of No. 1 High School."

"That's right, and you've utterly crushed No. 1 Middle School! This has directly raised the bar for all the teachers at No. 5 Middle School... In other words, the teachers here could potentially see their salaries double! Or even several times over because of you!"

The vice principal said excitedly.

Actually, there was one more thing he didn't mention: if Bai Jinxuan achieved anything outstanding later, it was possible that he could be promoted from vice principal to principal or become the principal of No. 7 Middle School.

This is a shining golden moment in his teaching career!

"Vice Principal, look! Something's happened in the humanities department too!"

Without a moment's hesitation over Bai Jinxuan's complete victory, the next to arrive on the battlefield was the top liberal arts student.

......

"Both the champion and runner-up are from No. 2 Middle School?" The vice principal was completely stunned, slowly uttering the next half of the sentence, "No. 1 Middle School only got third place!?"

Zhang Hu chuckled jokingly, "It seems that No. 1 Middle School is getting worse and worse. If this continues, it will be overtaken by No. 2 Middle School sooner or later."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red-haired man in a suit walked in.

"Isn't this all thanks to your Fifth Middle School, which discovered a genius girl like Murong Yao?"

"Oh, what brings you here?"

The vice-principal asked with a chuckle.

Bai Jinxuan blinked. She recognized this person; he was the teacher who had picked up Yao Yao before.

According to Yao Yao, he seems to be quite influential in Star City and is a very capable mentor.

Ignoring the vice-principal's words, he hurriedly approached Bai Jinxuan and took out a contract: "Bai Jinxuan, as long as you are willing to come to No. 2 Middle School, we will waive your tuition fees and give you a scholarship of 500,000 yuan. In addition, you will enjoy a series of preferential treatments at the school."

"Including but not limited to owning your own business, receiving generous startup loans from the school, and priority access to lunch..."

"Besides that, I heard that you and Murong Yao are sisters who grew up together. She misses you very much at No. 2 Middle School. As long as you come to No. 2 Middle School, you can live next door to her. The school has already made all the preparations."

He rambled on and on, leaving Bai Jinxuan somewhat confused.

However, Bai Jinxuan was very clear about one thing: the other party was inviting her to No. 2 Middle School and providing her with benefits, not asking her to pay money to get in.

As long as she signs, she can still see Yao Yao every day. Isn't that what she wants?

Recalling the scene at the cultural performance, Bai Jinxuan picked up the magic pen, preparing to sign her name on the contract.

Just then, another middle-aged man descended from the sky.

"and many more!"

A voice imbued with magic drifted into the office.

The next second, the magic pen in Bai Jinxuan's hand disappeared, and after scanning around, it appeared in that person's hand.

Wow...so fast...

Bai Jinxuan was dumbfounded. What was going on now?

And there are so many hovercrafts around the school... The insurance company is calling!?

Speaking of which, isn't this Mr. Chen, the teacher who struck up a conversation with me during the joint entrance exam about that boxing robot?

All eyes were on Teacher Chen, who gently put down the magic pen and gave the teacher from No. 2 Middle School a cold look.

"The way No. 2 Middle School is poaching students is so extreme, it's like they're throwing away all their dignity."

Ps:

I went out to visit relatives for the New Year and had some drinks, and I caught a cold right away.

Swallowing a knife is extremely uncomfortable, so everyone should remember to protect their health.

I'll recover first before I offer a reward!

"Chen Yufei, how can you say that?"

The red-haired teacher from No. 2 Middle School spread his hands, took a new magic pen out of his pocket, and placed it on the table.

"I was merely at the request of one of our outstanding students to come to No. 5 Middle School to pick someone up. Why is Teacher Chen rushing from No. 1 Middle School in such an aggressive manner?"

"Come over here, you'll scare the students."
