“Cough, cough! Haha, it’s fine, it’s fine! The young lady is cool!” Principal Ma grinned embarrassedly, looking quite young himself, as he looked at Yun Jian like he admired her a lot.
Principal Ma was a funny man. He was Min City Military School’s principal but he did not usually stay in school because not only was he a principal, he was also in the military.
Yun Jian refused to shake hands with the principal but that did not mean that she had ill feelings about him. Each person expressed their feelings in different ways; Yun Jian simply did not have the habit to shake hands nor did she like shaking hands with males.
That was the simple reason why she had rejected the handshake.
Principal Ma was a smart man. He did not feel awkward hearing what Yun Jian said but smiled at her. He took a pause before telling her, “It’s thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for you…”
Principal Ma wanted to say more to thank Yun Jian but the latter cut him off.
“It was just to save my dad, so you don’t have to thank me.” Yun Jian did not mean anything by saying this—she had really gone just to save Ge Junjian.
“Cough, cough! Haha! I understand. But uh… you’ve still contributed a great merit!”
This was the first time Principal Ma was chatting to a student so kindly. Even when Yun Jian was quite blunt, she meant no harm, so Principal Ma talked to her warmly.
The scene felt unbelievable to the teachers in the office. There were also drillmasters around but most of them were currently tuning in to the conversation between Principal Ma and Yun Jian.
“Cough, cough! Right, Yun Jian, Principal Ma actually has an urgent matter to talk to you about this time. It’s… Why don’t we talk about it elsewhere?” Yu Shaoluo spoke up when the atmosphere felt a little awkward.
“Mn, let’s speak outside,” Yun Jian replied with a nod, knowing that certain topics were unsuitable to be brought up in front of others, especially when there were teachers in the office.
Hence, Yun Jian, Principal Ma and Yu Shaoluo left the office.
…
Yun Jian, Principal Ma and Yu Shaoluo stood at one of the passages in a certain garden in school.
Not many people came around here and students did not usually hang out here during breaks. The garden was actually closer to the teacher’s dormitory, so some teachers would go through the garden as a shortcut to reach the classrooms faster.
“Go ahead if you have something to tell me,” Yun Jian said lightly looking up at Principal Ma and Yu Shaoluo as she stood before them.
Normally, a student standing before the principal and drillmaster should be too scared to look up at the two latter figures, but when it came to Yun Jian, why did it look like she was the principal while Principal Ma and Yu Shaoluo were the students?
“Cough, cough. Xiao Yu, you go,” Principal Ma asked Yu Shaoluo to explain it for him.
“Okay! This is the case. Principal Ma has heard about what you did and in addition to your impressive performance all this while, he’s agreed to let you join the selection of Country Z’s Special Forces to the hunting school.”
“You must already know what kind of place the hunting school is and with the high casualty rate of the school, we don’t simply send anyone there.”
“Country Z’s Special Forces will have a selection before they’re chosen to go. There will be two classes with over a hundred Special Forces soldiers joining the selection. The top three will then officially represent Country Z to the hunting school.”
“Initially, you’ll have to enter the elite class and be observed to see if you qualify to join the selection but Principal Ma thinks you’re outstanding, so he plans to make an exception and let you join the selection this year.”
“As for whether you’ll be chosen to represent Country Z to the hunting school, it’ll depend on your own abilities.”
