In every academy, there are a few exceptional trainees, or perhaps, they can be called Student Kings.
They are the core of the entire Pinnacle Academy, role models and pride for special trainees, just like top students in schools, admired, looked up to, and respected.
The Devil King of the East District, the Qiao Chenyi of Shoucheng, are such existences.
Qiao Chenyi has a unique aura, although he is a Student King, he is more like a noble gentleman, every move exudes elegance and charisma. He steps swiftly, reaching Gu Tong’s side, and raises his hand to pat her on the head.
"Little girl, do you not recognize ?" His lips curl into a doting smile, as if he’s admiring the most perfect piece of art.
"Chenyi...brother..." Gu Tong blurts out, caught off guard. She never imagined in her wildest dreams that Qiao Chenyi would appear here.
In the past, Qiao Chenyi was also a child in the Academy Courtyard, but later he moved to Shoucheng due to his family’s advancent.
Nevertheless, Gu Tong still vividly rembers their childhood antics.
She recalls when Lin Ziqing would cause trouble for Qiu Xue in the East District Academy Courtyard, deliberately bringing up Qiao Chenyi, saying, ’He’s the one who used to chase after you when you were kids, always saying he’d marry you’, trying to stir up trouble and ruin Gu Tong’s reputation, talking about him.
"It’s rare that the little girl still rembers ."
Many childhood mories have long been forgotten by most, or have beco faint and shallow, while so are indelibly etched in mory.
However, the Academy Courtyard children might be special, because there are always interactions between the parents, and the friendships among the kids are also unforgettable.
"Of course I rember." Gu Tong laughed, glanced at Qiao Chenyi’s dal, and said, "Congratulations, Chenyi brother, on becoming a Duke at such a young age."
"It’s all by chance." Qiao Chenyi was very modest and didn’t continue the topic but turned to the trainee at the gate and asked, "Is there any problem with her identity?"
Earlier, due to the distance, he could only hear confirmation of information, and did not know the specifics, hence the question.
"Well, it’s like this... Duke Qiao... This officer’s information looks too young, I was worried it might be false, but... since Duke Qiao recognizes her, then it’s fine..."
The trainee spoke while handing Gu Tong’s work ID to Qiao Chenyi, adopting a stance of leaving the matter to him.
Qiao Chenyi’s long fingers took the work ID, glanced at its contents, and exclaid, "You’re climbing ranks like a rocket, huh? A twenty-one-year-old Baron, a Professor of Class Five... I rember, you just graduated not long ago..."
"I graduated last year at the end of the year." Gu Tong said sowhat sheepishly.
In fact, if calculated precisely, her promotion speed is indeed quite fast, within just over half a year she had climbed to Baron, inevitably shocking.
Another trainee: "One year to Baron, don’t, don’t scare ..."
The trainee: "This must be a fake ID..."
Another trainee: "East District’s trainees are all monsters..."
One year.
It truly is sowhat frightening.
Qiao Chenyi took the work ID and took another look, saying, "You skipping grades when graduating was shocking enough for , now you’ve got positional jumps too, you little girl, you never stop."
Students from First Academy Hospital get prioritized placent to Shoucheng Academy, back then when they were gearing up to recruit, Qiao Chenyi, being an old acquaintance of Gu Tong, was even pulled in to help them strategize how to attract professionals.
Of course, in the end, they didn’t manage to win over Gu Tong’s father Gu Tiancheng, so naturally, they gave up.
