Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Huan arranged for Zhao Feng to bring Huo Tian to the Academic Affairs Office to take the test, then called another male student to bring Bi Ying to make his registration as a new student
The student union’s president quickly and easily quelled an impending campus violence, but Huo You and her followers were completely unaware that Si Huan was saving them.
Huo You only knew that Si Huan and Huo Tian got married in her previous life. She heard that their marriage had been wonderful. She was filled with distorted hatred toward Huo Tian that she hated him too.

Huo You couldn’t help but sneer, “Si Huan, it looks like you care a lot about Huo Tian, but she’s no longer part of the Huo Family. She might not be able to help you anymore.”
Si Huan took a long look at Huo You. He took out a notebook he carried on to record something. “I didn’t want to establish my authority on the first day of school, but some students don’t seem to know how to abide by the school’s rules. Neither do they respect the president of the student union. All of you will have your corresponding morality points deducted. I hope you will behave yourself from now on.”

Huo You’s followers were afraid of Si Huan, to begin with. Huo You was also frightened by Si Huan’s cold gaze when it swept on her and didn’t dare to provoke him anymore. Only after Si Huan left faraway did they dare to complain.
“Is there something wrong with Si Huan? He actually deducted our points for Huo Tian? Isn’t she about to be persuaded to leave the school?”
“But from what Si Huan said just now, the teachers seem to be waiting for Huo Tian to take a test? It can’t be that she’s going to be staying in our school, right?”
Huo You’s face darkened. “Impossible! My father has already spoken to the school. He won’t allow Huo Tian to continue attending the same school as me.”
Everyone looked at Huo You carefully, not daring to refute her.
On the other side, Zhao Feng led Huo Tian all the way to the Academic Affairs Office. Actually, he had a lot of questions in his heart. For example, were the robots that Huo Tian made real? And if she was so amazing, why did she pretend to be a useless bum in the past?
However, he could no longer treat Huo Tian as a normal person. It was as if he was facing an idol he had a great yearning for. When he faced Huo Tian, he was also nervous and agitated. All the questions he had tossed and turned in his heart. When he finally summoned the courage to ask them, they had arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.
Zhao Feng could only knock on the door regretfully and then opened it. He handed Huo Tian over to the teachers in the office who were eying her covetously.
Huo Tian was startled by the teachers’ gazes. She stood hesitantly at the door of the office, not daring to enter.
The academic director smiled and waved at Huo Tian. “Huo Tian, come over quickly. The teachers have come up with some simple papers. They just want to test your current academic level. Don’t worry, no matter what your results are, the teachers will let you enter the school.”
Huo Tian felt that something was wrong. She frowned and explained, “Teacher, no one is paying for my sponsorship this year. Didn’t Si Huan say that I won’t be able to enroll if I don’t pass the tests?”
The academic director said firmly, “That’s because Student Si Huan was trying to scare you. As a school that had indiscriminate education as part of the school’s motto, how could we let our students drop out for no reason?”

Huo Tian scratched her head in confusion. “Is that so?”
The academic director said, “Of course. By the way, let me understand your foundations first. Which subjects are you more confident in?”
Huo Tian sighed. “I have confidence in science, but I feel very troubled about humanities. To be honest, I really don’t have the confidence to pass this test…”
The academic director interrupted her and said, “Today, we’ll just be testing your knowledge level. Of course, the test papers don’t have the content that you can grasp just by memorizing them. Due to the restrictions of time, we can’t test you on all your subjects either. You just need to pick some questions from the science paper and do them.”
Huo Tian was in a bit of a daze as she was pushed to the table by the academic director. He took out a few pieces of paper from a stack of test papers and placed them in front of her. He was also very considerate and prepared rough paper and a pen for her.
The academic director smiled and told Huo Tian, “These are the test papers. Take your time and do them. If you need anything, let us know.”
With that, the academic director waved his hand and chased the other teachers out of the office, leaving Huo Tian alone to do the papers.
The other teachers who were chased out of the office looked unhappy, especially the few who taught humanities.
The math teacher complained, “The director is too much. We will be Huo Tian’s teachers in the future, but she won’t let us interact more with her!”
The history teacher was even more dissatisfied. “How can you say that one can grasp humanities just by memorizing? The director is cutting her too much slack!”
The physics teacher adjusted his glasses and said, “It’s understandable. All of you saw Bi Ying walking with Huo Tian in the surveillance footage. He looked no different from a normal person when he walked. This is enough to prove Huo Tian’s ability. The tests are just a formality to give the school’s board of directors an explanation.”
These words made the teachers excited. After all, the person who was about to become their student was a genius!
