The director of instruction fell into silence, and after a long while, another voice ca through, "Let’s keep it that way then!"
"Continue, we can lose, but we must not make a mistake!"
"Continue..."
Different voices emanated from inside the eight coffins, all expressing agreent. Everyone was unanimous in their decision to continue.
The director of instruction’s expression grew somber as he slowly nodded, "I understand, let’s continue like this then. Everyone, pardon the intrusion!"
"Wait a minute!" A voice suddenly emanated from one of the coffins, "The Array loosened the other day, what happened!"
The director of instruction said, "It was accidentally touched during its idle wander."
"A piece is missing," the voice from the coffin sounded again.
The director of instruction was stunned, "Is it missing? I will check when I return."
The light inside the coffin flickered for a long ti before the voice ca out again, "Never mind."
The director of instruction paused for a mont and then whispered, "I know what to do."
The light within the eight coffins gradually dimd and finally disappeared completely, with everything returning to normal.
The director of instruction bowed deeply and then turned to leave the secret chamber.
...
The next day, the director of instruction announced that the remaining students in the lower classes could be promoted to the senior class.
Although everyone knew that was already a certainty, they were still thrilled beyond asure when the director of instruction made the announcent.
Joining the senior class ant they had ultimately fulfilled their purpose for attending the school. Regardless of how they fared in the senior class, they wouldn’t have to worry about fortune and glory for the rest of their lives.
Zhao Jun, following Su Yang, was also ecstatic when he heard the news.
"I never thought we would get into the senior class so quickly!" Zhao Jun exclaid excitedly. "When I arrived, my brother told to try to make it into the senior class within three years. Brother Yang, we owe it all to you; otherwise, I might have been kicked out of the school by now!"
The others were also extrely excited, yet Su Yang remained very calm. Getting into the senior class wasn’t his goal; his aim was to be among the top ten of the senior class.
"Go gather everyone, I need to hold a eting," Su Yang ordered.
"Right away!" Zhao Jun imdiately complied, his influence among the group exceptionally strong now.
Zhao Jun made a phone call, and within ten minutes, everyone had gathered outside Su Yang’s dormitory.
Everyone was buzzing with excitent, discussing the news of entering the senior class, sothing they all had heard. Among them were people like Lin Dawei, who had almost no chance of entering the senior class and were utterly amazed to be promoted alongside Su Yang, sothing they could have only dread of. Thus, their excitent was almost uncontrollable.
Su Yang opened the door and walked out, and the commotion from the crowd imdiately ceased. Everyone looked at Su Yang excitedly and gratefully. Without him, such good fortune would never have befallen them.
"Brother Yang, everyone is here!" Zhao Jun shouted excitedly.
"Brother Yang!" soone else called out, and soon the corridor filled with the excited chants of the crowd.
Su Yang smiled and nodded, waving his hand to quiet everyone.
The crowd imdiately fell silent, no longer shouting.
"I believe everyone has received the news from the school, starting now, you are all students of the senior class!" Su Yang declared.
Everyone nodded, and one person excitedly said, "We owe it all to Brother Yang’s help; otherwise, how could we possibly have made it into the senior class so soon?"
Everyone imdiately agreed, extrely grateful to Su Yang.
Su Yang smiled and said, "I gathered you all here mainly because there’s sothing I want to discuss."
"Brother Yang, just give us the order; no matter what it is, whether it’s through hell or high water, we’ll do it!" a student shouted, and others quickly voiced their support.
"It’s not sothing particularly big; I just want to ntion sothing..." Su Yang took a deep breath and said, "If possible, I hope you all consider dropping out."
At his words, the room fell into a deathly silence, everyone staring at Su Yang in stunned disbelief, not understanding why he would suddenly suggest sothing so shocking.
They had just managed to get into the senior class, not even having had the chance to see what it was like inside, and now Su Yang was asking them to drop out? What was going on?
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they had misunderstood or if Su Yang had misspoken.
Zhao Jun was also bewildered, scratching his head and asking in a low voice, "Brother Yang, are you... are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
Everyone looked intently at Su Yang, but he shook his head, "No mistake, I really do hope you all consider withdrawing from school!"
Everyone was even more puzzled, and Zhao Jun, utterly confused, asked, "Why... why would you say that..."
Su Yang looked at everyone and said softly, "What was your purpose in coming to Qinghe Academy?"
Everyone glanced at each other, no one answering until Lin Dawei finally spoke, "Of course, it was to enter the senior class, make a na for ourselves, and lead a better life in the future!"
Everyone nodded in agreent; Lin Dawei had voiced their thoughts exactly.
"Well, you’ve already achieved that!" Su Yang continued, "You’re in the senior class now. Even if you drop out now and leave Qinghe Academy, you’ll still be known as having co from the senior class of Qinghe Academy. There will be plenty of people wanting to hire you, and you definitely will make a na for yourselves!"
The crowd fell silent; what Su Yang was saying was completely true.
"If you don’t have higher aspirations, then as of now, you’ve already achieved your purpose for entering Qinghe Academy," Su Yang said. "If you don’t plan to be in the top ten of the senior class, dropping out now won’t impact your future. However, if you decide to stay at Qinghe Academy, you’ll have to face the competition within the senior class, which is completely different from that in the junior class!"
"I’m sure you all know, during our process of entering the senior class, we’ve already offended many people. Not just people from the junior classes but also from the senior class. This ans, once we’re in the senior class, many will see us as enemies. Do you think the people in the senior class will let you off?"
At this point, Su Yang sighed and continued, "With their ans, you might survive, but you can’t escape other dangers. Once you’re ruined by soone, it could affect your future adversely!"
