Principal Lu fell silent. At his level, he knew more than a little about things.
To be able to move the Provincial Assembly's office, even the Transportation Ministry, it must be a top-ranking noble of the Empire!
If it was just the second generation of East Sea Province, he could fight back no matter the cost.
But a big shot from the Imperial Capital...
If it was before, when His Majesty the Emperor was still alive, even a big shot from the Imperial Capital wouldn't dare to openly violate the Imperial law.
But His Majesty the Emperor has been missing for almost twenty years...
Principal Chen looked at Chen Ling Xi and Lin Feng, shaking his head.
Seeing this, Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, his teeth grinding. Could he just let this happen? His future was ruined, just like that!?
No!
Absolutely not!
To ruin someone's future was like killing their parents, he would never let that person get away with it!
He would make that person pay the price!
Chen Ling Xi's face was icy, her anger unyielding: "I will investigate this matter. I don't believe the Divine Dragon Empire has no laws!"
Lin Feng was her student. Whether it was a sense of justice or a teacher's responsibility.
She couldn't just ignore this matter!
Principal Lu glanced at Chen Ling Xi, without stopping her.
Others might not know Chen Ling Xi's identity, but he, the Principal of First High, did.
Chen Ling Xi was the beloved daughter of Governor Chen Bei Guo of East Sea Province!
As the Governor's daughter, Chen Ling Xi did not follow the path of other privileged children, rising to the top through her father's influence.
Instead, she chose to be a teacher at First High, dedicated to teaching and nurturing.
Only Principal Lu and a few other school leaders knew this secret.
So, if Chen Ling Xi stepped in, she should be able to get to the bottom of this.
After all, Chen Bei Guo was the Governor of East Sea Province, the ruler of the entire province, and he was also highly favored by the Regent.
Even if that person was from the Imperial Capital, they would have to pay a price, wouldn't they?
Unless that person was a descendant of the Five Great Families.....
Seeing Chen Ling Xi's anger, a warmth spread through Lin Feng's heart. Although he didn't know Chen Ling Xi's specific identity, he did know she was no ordinary person.
Chen Ling Xi's figure and appearance, the intellectual long legs, top of the top, had also attracted many people's harassment.
Among them were not a few second-generation privileged individuals.
But they all disappeared without a trace...
............
The Awakening Ceremony had to continue, Lin Feng returned to his class's formation.
Along the way, the students all looked at the fallen genius, their eyes complex.
There was pity, sympathy, but also schadenfreude.
Although Lin Feng was a genius student of First High, always topping the school, his popularity in the school was not good.
Many people thought Lin Feng was... putting on airs.
"It's all fate, what's the use of studying so hard, still a Free Spirit..."
"SS-rank Free Spirit, that's a first in history, no one has ever done that before."
The students' whispers made Lin Feng's face stiff again, his heart filled with frustration, anger, and resentment!
He returned to the formation, vowing silently to himself that he would take revenge for this!!
But he still had no idea who that person was...
.........
After an unknown amount of time, the Awakening Ceremony at First High ended.
This year's class was still pretty good, with a total of four S-rank and twenty-two A-rank.
But thinking about Lin Feng, Principal Lu felt a deep sense of regret in his heart.
S-rank was excellent, but there were always a few in each year.
But SS-rank was different, that was a true super genius, a once-in-a-generation existence, the kind who could easily secure the top spot in the national exams!
And now it was ruined...
"Classmates, you have all awakened your professions. No matter how high or low your profession, as long as you work hard, you will achieve something in the future.
Remember, there is no such thing as a useless profession. As long as you put in the effort, any profession can shine in its own field.
The national exams are just a few days away. Have a good rest these days, and I hope you all achieve good results in the national exams, enter the university of your dreams, and make our school proud of you!"
The ceremony ended, and the students left one after another, preparing to go home.
Chen Ling Xi glanced at Lin Feng, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Don't think too much, just prepare for the national exams. Although you failed to transfer, you're still an SS-rank Free Spirit, so there's still a chance for you to get into a good university.
I will definitely get you an explanation for this!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Lin Feng nodded heavily, a warmth spreading through his heart.
Chen Ling Xi had always admired and cared for him. Lin Feng sincerely respected this homeroom teacher and... ahem.
Lin Feng secretly glanced at Chen Ling Xi's impressive assets...
..............
After school, everyone went their separate ways.
The students were ready to leave school, now that they had all transferred, many of them had made plans to go to the beginner's dungeon together to level up and get some practical experience.
After all, the national exams were just a few days away. More preparation meant a better chance of getting into a good university!
"I'm a D-rank Warrior, anyone interested in teaming up?"
"Full team, DPS needed, Zhang Song, you're a C-rank Flame Mage, come on, come on!"
Many students gathered at the school gate, shouting at each other, full of energy.
Those who had awakened combat professions at A-rank and B-rank were naturally sought after, everyone wanted to team up with them and make connections.
Lin Feng was forgotten.
In the past, Lin Feng, the genius with a promising future, although not very popular, still had many people who wanted to curry favor with him.
But now, the world was a cold and cruel place... No one even bothered with Lin Feng.
After all, Free Spirits had no professional specialization, even with an SS-rank combat power, they were still weak. Teaming up with Lin Feng would just be a burden.
This sense of contrast made Lin Feng extremely uncomfortable.
"Lin Feng, want to team up?"
A female classmate with a decent appearance walked over to him, smiling at Lin Feng.
Her name was Xie Ting, she was Lin Feng's classmate and had awakened A-rank Blessing Priest. Seeing that Lin Feng was ignored, she thought she should help him out.
After all, they were classmates... and she felt sorry for Lin Feng's situation.
Xie Ting was accompanied by a few teammates. They were not happy about this, but they didn't say anything, just a look of disdain on their faces.
These words pierced Lin Feng's heart deeply.
Because some of them had been so polite and enthusiastic towards him before! He even used to guide them!
Now they were treating him like this?
A bunch of ungrateful dogs!
Lin Feng was already depressed about his failed transfer, and now he was in a very sensitive state. He was triggered by the expressions on their faces.
He couldn't hold back any longer and burst out, sneering coldly.
"No need. Even though I failed to transfer, I'm not someone you bunch of trash can use to rub shoulders with!"
