Chapter 81: Dean's Meeting
Qin Fan also understood the delay in the rewards.
Since the world catastrophe, the game has merged with reality.
It wasn't just the shattering of secret realms and the monster disasters sweeping across.
There were also the cracks from unknown planes that descended upon this world.
The monsters that emerged from the cracks were bloodthirsty and emotionless.
More importantly…
They were incredibly powerful.
No one knew what lay on the other side of the rifts.
Some speculated it was the realm of the Demon Lord.
Others guessed it was hell.
But no one knew for sure.
Humans and other races that emerged from the game could only join forces, establishing defensive fortresses before these rift battlefields to fight and resist the disaster monsters.
These senior students fought at the front lines, bathed in enemy blood, protecting the countless lights behind them.
It was only natural for the country's and the school's rewards to be given to them first.
Qin Fan wasn't a selfish person.
Besides…
A few months wasn't too long to wait.
For those strong warriors on the battlefield, mastering an advanced skill could mean an increased chance of survival.
Teacher He Yalan, seeing Qin Fan was not at all upset, also relaxed.
Indeed.
The student she valued was exceptional in both strength and character.
"By the way, have you checked our school's official forum in the past couple of days?"
Teacher He Yalan seemed to remember something interesting.
"No, I haven't…"
"I've been training in the training room except for eating and sleeping to adapt to my new skill talent."
Qin Fan replied.
"Well, I suggest you take a look. There's quite a bit of buzz now."
"Alright then, I'll hang up so as not to disturb you."
After Teacher He Yalan hung up the phone.
Qin Fan, out of curiosity, logged into the school's official forum.
As soon as he logged in.
He saw a series of eye-catching posts pinned to the homepage.
"This is the freshman ranked first by the dean? Falsified secret realm scores, and a coward who doesn't dare to show up!"
"Let's not talk about Bai Wushuang, who was specially recruited, but what about Xu Niannian, Fang Tairan, and Luo Hao? How are they any worse than Qin Fan? Why are they ranked behind Qin Fan?"
"Just thinking about that guy living in the No.1 villa on the mountaintop overlooking us makes me sick!"
"Unfair! Unfair! Re-examination! Re-examination!"
"I'm the third in Yunchuan Province, why am I ranked 57th?"
"I strongly suggest the freshman exam be held immediately!"
"I second that!"
"…"
Seeing these posts full of heated discussions.
Qin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Sure enough…
This group of freshmen didn't like him.
Of course…
Qin Fan was merely a catalyst.
The main reason was that everyone was unhappy with the initial rankings.
Many felt their rankings shouldn't be so low.
They felt underestimated.
They urgently needed the exam to prove their strength.
As Teacher He Yalan said.
This year was the golden year for the Fengtian Academy.
They recruited top-ranked students from across the country.
These students were used to being number one in their local areas.
After coming to the new school.
Seeing themselves ranked behind those they felt were inferior to them made them very displeased.
In fact, many posts expressing dissatisfaction were not only targeting Qin Fan.
Other top-ranked freshmen were also being dissed.
It's just that Qin Fan had the most opposition.
Because Qin Fan was in the limelight, stepping on the heads of talents like Bai Wushuang, Xu Niannian, and Fang Tairan, he was very noticeable.
Interestingly…
As Qin Fan continued browsing.
He found an amusing post.
"Who can beat up Qin Fan for me? Reward of 100 million Drakes!"
The post ID was 'Handsome Breeze'.
This made Qin Fan chuckle. That blonde…
Just as Qin Fan was about to continue browsing…
Suddenly!
A small mouth with sharp teeth appeared at the corner of the laptop.
The next second…
Crunch!!
With a light bite from this small mouth, the expensive laptop screen shattered.
"Ah! Xiaojiu!"
Qin Fan's wail echoed.
"Ga wu!"
Xiaojiu's head poked out from behind the laptop, a pair of innocent golden dragon eyes looking at the owner.
Before Qin Fan could punish the little one.
Bang!!
A loud noise came from the kitchen.
Qin Fan quickly walked out of the bedroom.
He found the round little Han sitting in front of the refrigerator, the entire fridge now emitting black smoke under the influence of Xiao Han's frost power.
"No! My refrigerator!"
Qin Fan wailed again.
Although the school provided students with excellent living conditions, it didn't mean that furniture and other items could be wantonly destroyed. Damaging one meant that Qin Fan needed to spend credits to repair or replace it.
In just two days…
These two mischievous little ones had destroyed three holographic projectors, two computers, and a refrigerator!
They were absolute demolition experts!
The key issue was that every time Qin Fan wanted to scold them, they would look at him with big, adorable eyes.
Qin Fan's heart would soften, and he would let them off the hook.
…
While Qin Fan was busy outwitting and outmaneuvering the two little homewreckers, at the Fengtian Building, the main teaching building of Fengtian Academy, in the conference room on the top floor, the Dean of the Magic Academy and Vice Principal, Liu Boming, had already met with the other deans.
The student council had already reported the uproar on the official forum to the teachers, who in turn reported it to the deans.
"Hehe…"
"It seems these prodigies are quite unhappy with the initial rankings we made," Liu Boming said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
Present were the Dean of the Combat Academy, Liu Jinhua, the Dean of the Tactical Academy, Zhang Tao, and the Dean of the Enhancement Academy, Li Yujie. Also present was the Deputy Dean of the Combat Academy, He Yalan.
Yes, you read that right.
He Yalan was the Deputy Dean of the Combat Academy. That's why the sophomore students referred to her as Dean He.
He Yalan's strength was not to be underestimated.
An 87th-level, third-turn expert.
Just three levels away from stepping into the fourth turn.
Moreover, she was very young, only 28 years old.
"I've heard that young Qin Fan broke the records of three secret realm dungeons in a row, which is quite an impressive achievement, hence the doubts," He Yalan said disdainfully. "If it weren't for confidentiality, I'd want to release the video of Qin Fan tackling the secret realms…"
In her eyes, these people were simply fools!
Did they really think Fengtian Academy was a second-rate institution?
Did they believe we promoted students based on seniority?
In this top-notch academy, there was no such thing as seniority!
As long as you had the strength, you would get the treatment you deserved!
As for the academy helping students cheat by altering the secret realm clearance times…
It was simply laughable!
Such things might happen in second-rate academies, but never in Fengtian Academy!
"Now the students are strongly suggesting that the freshman exam be brought forward…"
"They probably want to prove their strength."
Combat Academy Dean Liu Jinhua said calmly.
"Why not grant their wish then?"
"It will also serve to test whether their strength matches their talk!"
Tactical Academy Dean Zhang Tao said with a smile.
"I agree with that."
Enhancement Academy Dean Li Yujie nodded.
The teaching content of the Enhancement Academy was not only aimed at secondary professions but also at support professions.
So, don't think that the freshman exam has nothing to do with the Enhancement Academy.
"I also agree to move the exam forward."
He Yalan also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Liu Boming was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected that the deans would actually agree to advance the freshman exam.
Many people had issues with the initial rankings.
But the controversies were mainly about the middle and lower rankings.
The top hundred ranks were determined after careful consideration by the deans, and by watching all the national college entrance exam videos of the freshmen.
There might be slight discrepancies.
But they wouldn't be too big.
For example…
The deans believed that the top five ranks wouldn't change much.
First: Qin Fan.
Second: Bai Wushuang.
Third: Luo Hao.
Fourth: Xu Niannian.
Fifth: Fang Tairan.
The deans were confident that these top five ranks wouldn't change.
"Fine! Since these young ones want to prove their strength, let's grant them their wish!"
"Notify everyone that the freshman exam will start early!"
"Set it for tomorrow at nine in the morning!"
"The location will be Arena No. 1!"
"Let all freshmen be prepared to compete!"
Vice Principal Liu Boming made the final decision with a wave of his hand.
Upon hearing this, the teachers immediately notified the person in charge of Arena No. 1 to prepare the venue.
"In addition!"
"These freshmen believe that Qin Fan's secret realm clearance time was altered?"
"This is an unjust accusation against the academy's fairness!"
"For this year's freshman exam, before the individual duel competition, add a secret realm test!"
"Notify the responsible teacher at the Secret Realm Hall to make the 'Imperial Laboratory' secret realm dungeon available!"
"The first round of the freshman exam tomorrow will be based on this secret realm dungeon!"
"Hmph!"
"I want to see if these youngsters' strength matches their talk!"
Liu Boming announced angrily.
Hmm!?
As soon as Liu Boming finished speaking.
The deans and teachers present were slightly taken aback.
The Imperial Laboratory!
A diamond-level dungeon for levels 20-35!
It was an extremely difficult dungeon!
Because this dungeon only had team best records, not individual records!
What did this mean?
It meant that no one had ever cleared this dungeon solo within the level range of 20-35!
It seemed the Vice Principal was genuinely upset by these youngsters' commotion.
