Chapter 343: Half-understanding

And he also wanted to become the richest person in the country, so his parents could get him a UnionPay card, and then he wouldn't lack money to spend.

"Oh! I'm so stupid, why didn't I just apply for a loan? This way I can not only save a sum of money but also reduce the pressure on my parents. I'm really too smart." Thinking of this, a satisfied expression appeared on Ash's face.

"Ash, what are you doing, smiling so happily?" Just then, Ash walked into the dorm and said.

"Hehe, Brother Ash, why did you come back so early?" Ash said with a smile.

"Eh? How did you know I came back so early?" Ash asked puzzled.

"Your computer screen is lit up, I saw it." Ash said.

"So that's how it is, no wonder I didn't feel anything." Ash suddenly realized.

"Then why don't you hurry up and change your shoes and take a shower." Ash urged.

"Sigh! Don't mention it." Ash said with a depressed face.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked puzzled.

"I met a pervert today, and I was defeated by him." Ash complained.

"Who?" Ash asked.

"I don't know him either, just a guy who looks quite handsome and has a very strange name, called 'Super Saiyan', I think his name is Son Gohan." Ash said.

"You were actually defeated by a guy, Ash, this is the legendary retaliation, right." Ash said.

"Hmph, anyway, he is better than me." Ash snorted coldly and said.

"Uh..." Ash was speechless. Damn, did you even need to say that? I already knew that, okay?

The next day, Ash and Misty came to the school gate again, preparing to welcome Cynthia.

This time Cynthia was still wearing a black professional suit, but it was a white suit.

She looked heroic and very attractive.

"Hi, hello, Ash, Misty." Cynthia greeted the two.

"Hello, Teacher Cynthia, you look so beautiful today." Ash praised.

"Thank you, you two are in good spirits today too." Cynthia said.

"Haha, yeah, I stayed up all night playing games yesterday." Ash scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"Is that so? Then how were your grades?" Cynthia asked with concern.

"Uh... they were okay." Ash hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said.

"Okay is how many points?" Cynthia asked.

"．｀ Five points." Ash raised his head and said.

"5.5 points." Cynthia said, slightly surprised.

"Yeah, Teacher Cynthia, what I want to say is, my grade isn't just 5 points, it's 9 points." Ash said.

"Nine points, that's indeed not bad." Cynthia said.

"Haha, actually it's just okay." Ash said.

"By the way, Teacher Cynthia, I have a question I want to ask you. You say you are a top student, so I want to know what our grade ranking is based on?" Ash asked.

"Our academy has a three-day holiday every Saturday and Sunday, so our academy has a holiday every Thursday, and our academy holds final exams at the end of every month, each time testing the top 50, and our class is always in the top five of the school.

This final exam had a total of 15 people from our class participating, and I was 4th, and there were 8 other students who were 3rd and 2nd." Cynthia explained.

"Oh~ I understand." After hearing Cynthia's words, Ash nodded, half-understanding.

"By the way, Ash, I want to discuss something with you today." Cynthia suddenly remembered something.

"What is it? Teacher Cynthia?" Ash asked.

"I hope you can help me." Cynthia said, frowning slightly.

"Ah?" Ash was stunned upon hearing this, but then he realized, Cynthia must be wanting him to enter the Magic Academy.

Cynthia's father was the dean of the Magic Academy, and Ash had heard Cynthia say before that her father was very strict about academics.

So Ash felt that Cynthia must be troubled by her own affairs.

"Ash, don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing, just say how much money you want." Cynthia said with a smile.

"No, no, no, Teacher Cynthia, I don't want money, I just hope you can recommend me to your father." Ash quickly waved his hands to refuse.

Just kidding, he was the dignified Emperor of the Universe, how could he do such a thing.

"Uh~ you don't need to worry, Ash, I didn't mean anything else." Seeing Ash refuse, Cynthia said hurriedly.

"Teacher Cynthia, I understand what you mean, but I still can't take the money." Ash shook his head and said.

"Alright, then I'll thank you first." Cynthia nodded slightly and said.

"It's nothing, I'm a student too, it's only right." Ash said lightly.

"Mm-hmm!" Cynthia nodded, then continued to leave by car.

After Cynthia left, Ash and Misty both looked thoughtful.

"Ash, did Teacher Cynthia just tell you she wanted to recommend you to be an exchange student at the Magic Academy?" Misty asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ash asked puzzled.

"Are you stupid?!" Misty said, feeling frustrated.

"Ash, how can you be so oblivious? Don't you know Teacher Cynthia is the goddess of our academy, her suitors are countless? If you could be recommended by Teacher Cynthia to enter the Magic Academy, you would definitely be envied and hated by countless male compatriots." Misty said excitedly.

"Uh..." Ash was stunned. He hadn't expected Misty to be so excited after he refused, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed right.

As the head of the Gourmet Department and the Dean of Students, Cynthia must have many admirers. If he successfully entered the Magic Academy, he would definitely receive more attention, and might even be watched by many people. Just thinking about it was exciting.

But Ash was not blinded by money; on the contrary, Ash maintained his reason. After all, the system's tasks were the most important.

System: "Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest—Save Cynthia. Reward: 10,000 points."

"Holy crap!!" Ash exclaimed.

"System, are you freaking crazy? Why did you issue this side quest?" Ash shouted at the system angrily.

"Ding-dong! Because the host's behavior has affected the system's interests, the system needs you to save the vulnerable groups in the world." The system said without a ripple.

"Damn, system, haven't I always been saving the vulnerable groups in the world? Where are these vulnerable groups? I've never seen them." Ash said.

"Ding-dong! The host's saving behavior is purely for earning points, not truly saving the vulnerable groups in the world." The system said.
