Chapter 146

Everything...

remains the same.

"I'll join!"

Xu Zi'an suddenly spoke up.

Sister Haitang was stunned for a moment: "Are you willing? I thought I'd have to keep persuading you for a long time; you seemed like the type who is stubborn to the core."

Xu Zi'an smiled slightly: "Actually..."

"I've said it before, the Federal Imperial Starship Academy has been my dream academy since I was a child."

"Although it was the academy I wanted to join most before this, now that the high-and-mighty image of the Federal Imperial Starship Academy in my mind has shattered, that obsession naturally no longer exists."

"In fact, because of their shortsightedness, I am actually very glad—glad that I didn't join them."

"And Shenzhou Academy, although it is only the last of the top ten, that is only in terms of the top ten!"

"Shenzhou Academy is the tenth-ranked top-tier academy among the hundreds of millions of higher learning institutions in the entire Earth Federation!"

"The actual gap between it and the first is very, very small; I have always been very clear about this."

These words were all from the bottom of Xu Zi'an's heart.

Both the cold-blooded words He Shuangcang just uttered and the decision made by the school's leadership...

made Xu Zi'an very glad that he did not join an academy that was so shortsighted and lacked such inclusivity.

Is Shenzhou Academy... really that bad?

If you tell people you are a student of Shenzhou Academy, I don't know how many people would be twisted with envy!

Sister Haitang's expression immediately became quite satisfied, and she nodded: "Not bad, not bad. It seems you are still very rational."

"Alright then, since you have now joined our Shenzhou Academy, pick a time, and I will take you back to school!"

Who would have thought, Xu Zi'an suddenly shook his head.

"No!"

"Actually, I know that over these past few days, you must have done a lot of work with the school, right?"

"After all, I am no longer a first-time binder. Shenzhou Academy is highly inclusive, but that doesn't mean it has no bottom line."

"For a student like me who is no longer a first-time binder, how could I possibly still enjoy the treatment belonging to a special recruit?"

"So I think you must have done a great deal of work with the school these past few days to preserve my special recruit status."

"But I don't want it to be this way. First of all, I don't want you to be put in a difficult position because of my affairs."

"Secondly, and most importantly."

"The treatment obtained in this way makes me feel like it's a form of charity."

"And I would rather scavenge for trash than accept anyone's charity; in fact, I have done exactly that from childhood until now."

"Therefore!"

Xu Zi'an grinned, his momentary confidence and radiance seemingly dazzling the eyes of the two women.

"Therefore!"

"I have decided that in a month and a half,"

"I will participate in the college entrance exam myself!"

"And I will get into Shenzhou University through the exam myself!"

"Using my own strength and ability,"

"to obtain what I want!"

"Instead of..."

"relying on this method which is equivalent to charity!"

The two women.

Stared blankly.

Without blinking.

At this moment.

In their eyes,

Xu Zi'an was so dazzling.
