The next morning, Xiong Meng woke up to find Heracross still playing games. He checked the Pokémon's level and saw that it was already over 30 on average.

Well, you really played all night.

"Don't stay out too late, take care of your health."

"Hera~"

After gaining regenerative abilities, he became incredibly strong, feeling nothing all night!

Xiong Meng simply said, as was his habit, that he shouldn't worry about the elf's health.

Go downstairs and cook your own meal, and while you're at it, heat up some Moo Moo milk for Mudkip. As for Heracross, just feed him honey and energy cubes.

The 3D dragon eats whenever it wants, and doesn't need to eat when it doesn't want to move; it's incredibly fierce.

I walked to the warehouse, took out my bicycle that had been sitting unused for days, and put the Mudskipper in the basket.

"Destination school, let's go!"

"Sell!"

The cool air felt on my face, and many breakfast shops along the way were busy, with many elves also bustling about.

I encountered many students on the road and at the school gate, each with a little sprite, either hugging, following, or clinging to them.

The few people who had already arrived in the classroom were chatting, and occasionally proudly showing off their friends.

He didn't participate; he took Mudkip to his seat and quietly took pictures, remaining motionless except when someone came to greet him.

He just quietly petted Mudkip, casually chatting about school matters and gossip.

"Knock knock knock~"

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the window. Turning around, Xiong Meng saw his old teacher's big face and quickly opened the window to let him in.

"I'm not going in. Come down here, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Li Jianguo shrank back down. When he peeked out, he saw that Li Jianguo was riding on the giant spider Ariados. No wonder he could come out from here.

He picked up Mudkip and went downstairs with a puzzled look in his eyes. When he saw him coming, the old teacher waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's talk over there."

The two walked to the small courtyard one after the other. Li Jianguo sat on the bench and patted the person next to him, gesturing for Xiong Meng to sit down.

"I heard you've awakened a special ability."

Before he could speak, the teacher continued, "Your father and the principal were classmates in the same year and have a good relationship. They had dinner together yesterday."

"To be precise, it was your old man who suddenly came over, and I heard he brought a bunch of old friends to treat us to a meal."

Xiong Meng fell silent. It turned out that he really meant it when he said he was looking for a friend yesterday. He had a feeling that his motives were a bit impure.

How did our teacher know this? Could he also be one of our old classmates?

Hidden.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, the principal is a big mouth and can't keep anything to himself. He posted it in the group chat last night."

As if sensing Xiong Meng's thoughts, Li Jianguo revealed in advance why he knew.

Okay, I misunderstood. Why can't you be on friendly terms with the principal? You're so old, can't you be a little more ambitious?

Seeing Xiong Meng's disdainful look, Li Jianguo was somewhat annoyed but unable to refute it. In the end, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"To ensure absolute fairness, there will be no bonuses on the overall college entrance examination ranking, but there may be bonuses at the school level in special circumstances."

"But the information will only be released if you are admitted early. The school is currently conducting internal recruitment these days; do you need to apply?"

Top students can skip the college entrance examination and participate in early admissions, and can be selected in advance if they pass the review. This in itself is a recognition of the students' efforts.

Although the important moment of the college entrance examination is missing, it will be much more convenient. However, compared to entering school early, this process is definitely more interesting.

Having survived hellish conditions in my past life, going through it again will be a new kind of enjoyment.

Having made up his mind, Xiong Meng joked, "No, I'm still more interested in passing the imperial examination."

"Yes, I think so too." Li Jianguo nodded. "With your grades, you could go to any school, but the honor of passing the imperial examination is only given once, so you can try to make it."

"I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure if it will work."

"As long as you don't slack off, you have an 80-90% chance of succeeding."

I know you too well. You're usually at the top of your class but you're always slacking off. I don't know what you're thinking.

"Hehe, I'll do my best! I'll do my best!"

.......

He suddenly fell silent for some reason. He wanted to leave, but the teacher didn't say anything, and they remained silent for several minutes.

"Xiong Meng, you know about the final celebration of senior year, right?"

The final celebration, also known as the final farewell, is a sports meet and farewell party held in the first week of the last month before college entrance examination candidates take the exam.

Because it was the last major event before the college entrance examination, many teachers relaxed their management, and it was called the final carnival.

He definitely knew that, and he was even planning one last crazy adventure, so why bring this up...?

"I know you usually hold back your talents, but even so, you've always been at the top of your class since you were a child."

"So, the teacher wants me to..."

"Let me say it!!!"

Xiong Meng's words were abruptly interrupted; it was the first time he had seen his teacher's expression so complex.

Sadness, frustration, anger, pleading... It's all very complicated.

"I hope you won't participate in the upcoming sports meet..."

"Teacher, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know...."

"Teacher, whose idea is this?"

"This is just my personal opinion..."

"If I report you, you'll lose your job and your future will be ruined, you know that?"

"So, tell me why that is."

He knew his teacher's character; he was usually kind and approachable and never treated anyone differently. Why would he suddenly think like that?

Li Jianguo suddenly looked up, but instead of disappointment and anger, he saw curiosity, which completely baffled him.

No, this is the last hurrah for seniors! I know you're usually rational, but this is way too rational!

"Well, this is what I've decided, Waibi Babubabalala... that's it."

After listening to the teacher's words, I understood. He was too outstanding. His test scores could occasionally be something other students could show off, but in sports, he was truly merciless.

There are two sports events a year, and Xiong Meng has participated five times over the years, always standing out. The most impressive one was last year's farewell party for senior students, where he completely dominated the older students.

Li Jianguo's thought was that he had performed enough, and wondered if he could give some opportunities to other students. After all, high school only has one chance, and all the other students were suppressed by one person and had no chance to perform.

"I'm sorry, the students are like my children. Your usual rationality makes me feel I can say something, but you are also my student, and you only have this high school experience once..."

"On one side are the majority, on the other are the minority. I never imagined I could be such a scumbag... I knew that once I opened my mouth, the situation would change... but I still said it..."

Li Jianguo tried his best to control his expression to prevent Xiong Meng from misunderstanding that he was morally blackmailing him, but the annoyance and regret in his eyes only increased.

"Actually, I'm fine. By the way, what seat are you assigning me?"

Li Jianguo looked up in disbelief: "Huh??? What did you say???"

"You have to give me a seat, right? If I can't participate, at least let me watch the show. You can't expect me to take a vacation like the English teacher."

The ability to prioritize the greater good over the lesser is a lesson learned across generations. He excelled in this in his past life and continues to do so in this one, so one more time won't make a difference.

"Haha, no problem, no problem, I'll arrange a seat for you at the guided tour!"

Xiong Meng nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."

"Don't make decisions for my sake. You're smart, don't let me morally blackmail you."

Faced with his teacher's concerns, he knew that talking would take a long time, so he chose to use his superhuman strength.

With Chaoke's help, Li Jianguo finally confirmed that his student was not unhappy at all. The gloom in his heart dissipated, and a kind smile returned to his face.

"You're a great student, very good. I'm heading back to my office now, you should go home early too."

Unlike his somewhat stiff steps when he arrived, he now walks with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of open-mindedness.

"Selling (◍•ᴗ•◍)?"

Mudkip looked puzzled. What had just been said seemed very important, so why would the trainer give up so easily?

Xiong Meng offered his own explanation: "It's great to stand out in practice, but it's also good to be remembered by everyone for voluntarily making concessions."
