Chapter 443: Return To The Academy

Reviewing layer by layer, the probability of Wan Yuelan’s work being wrong was basically zero. Even Xiao Lin understood that the probability of that happening was slim to none.

“Do you think someone forged the admission notice?” After all, Xiao Lin received the admission notice, and he was able to reach Dawn Academy because of it. That meant the admission notice was genuine.

“I don’t know, Xiao Lin, but I can guarantee that your admission notice was definitely not signed by our Admissions Department.”

Xiao Lin laughed bitterly. “What do you plan to do now? Are you going to report this truthfully?”

Wang Yuelan rolled his eyes and said, “if I were planning to report this, I wouldn’t be standing here waiting for you! It is impossible for an admission notice to be forged by outsiders. Regardless of how you obtained it, at least there weren’t problems with the admissions procedure. I just want to figure out what happened, so that similar events can be avoided in the future.”

Xiao Lin thought about it, and said, “Actually, all you need to do is go back to the academy and retrieve the file of the notice from the central computer. You’ll be able to trace the source from there.”

“That’s right, all will be clear when we get back to the academy,” Wang Yuelan said thoughtfully, and continued, “You don’t have to worry. No matter what, you’re still a student at the school, and it’s impossible to drive you out.”

Xiao Lin did not know whether to laugh or cry. Regardless of where the admissions notice came from, if the dean knew about his SS-level talent, he would not be driven away, no matter what.

After they calmed down, the two of them chatted briefly about Gu Chengyun. It was as Mao Tianying had said; Wang Yuelan also received a notice from the head of recruitment. However, they had put aside the enrollment of Gu Chengyun for the time being, and would consider it after the affairs of the Pacific incident were dealt with. Therefore, having no further assignments on Earth, Wang Yuelan was prepared to go back to the academy.

Xiao Lin had boarded the interspatial carriage many times and was no longer fazed or curious about it. Naturally, Wang Yuelan was the same. However, she observed Xiao Lin in the carriage. They had known each other since they were kids. However, the changes that Xiao Lin had gone through still raised Wang Yuelan’s curiosity, now that they had reunited after many years.

Wang Yuelan took the initiative to start the conversation and smiled. “You seem very used to this. Rather unlike a new student.”

“I’ve gotten used to it after boarding many times.”

“You’ve taken the interspatial carriage many times already?”

“I took it to New Washington.”

“Previously, I heard that a freshie went to America for a business trip. So that was you!”

...

The two of them gradually warmed up to each other through endless chatter and felt the familiarity between them return. Xiao Lin also inquired about the courses after the start of the new semester. He remembered Song Junlang telling him that the course would be a little different this time.

“It seems like your sources for news are quite broad. Yes, people from the Admissions Department also participate in the discussion. In fact, some people expressed dissatisfaction with the existing courses years ago. They believed that the school’s teaching progress was too slow, and it seriously affected the percentage of the population going to the New World. The education reform has been in preparation for a long time, and it seems the dean is determined to start this practice with the freshmen of this year.”

“Education reform. To reduce the number of courses or to reduce the required credits to graduate?”

“You can keep dreaming! The academy is hoping that the students would be able to learn the theoretical foundation in a shorter time span. It used to be that only senior year students may start practicals in the New World, but I think this year, they might bring it forward to junior year students. Ah, I guess I might have to go to the New World for an internship in the new semester.” Wang Yuelan had mentioned before that she was a junior year student.

Junior and senior year were still far away for Xiao Lin. Besides, he could go to the New World whenever he wanted. He was more concerned about how stressful his courses would be in the second half of the semester. However, Wang Yuelan was also unsure about this. Specific timetables were confidential and belonged to senior management of the student union.

After arriving at the academy, the two exchanged phone numbers for the magic phone. Although Xiao Lin was the last person to return to the academy in the freshman year, he did not exceed his holiday. The courses for the next semester would not officially start until the next day.

Those who returned to the academy early felt dissatisfied. Especially since much of the renminbi that they had exchanged had not yet been spent. To put it simply, they were pretending to not have enough. The topic on everyone’s lips was the mysterious rainstorm on Earth. After all, everyone was told to return to school early, and the reason could only be that strange rain.

Although there was no Internet connection on the journey between Earth and Dawn Academy, there were staff who frequently made trips between Earth and the Academy, so there was always an exchange of information every day. There were more and more people participating in the discussion, with some obviously worried for the safety of their families, and some even for the safety of Earth.

After Xiao Lin returned to the dormitory and opened the forums, he saw many such posts on the website. Knowing that these were people who were forced to return to school and may not know about the latest development, he wrote a post to explain the current situation. He just wanted to make everyone feel at ease.

In an instant, Xiao Lin’s posts received a lot of clicks and replies. Many people thanked Xiao Lin for his timely notification. However, there was also no shortage of sarcasm saying that he violated school rules by delaying his return to the academy and that the academy would definitely punish him for it.

At that moment, Xiao Lin had no time to look at the replies. Not long after returning to the dormitory, he received a message from the sophomore leader Chen Yu. [At 7 this evening, a freshman monitor meeting will be held in the meeting room B-1 of the student union office building.]

For half a year since he was enrolled, this was actually the first freshmen monitor meeting. For the first half of the semester, this job was carried out by the instructor. If instructors were not present, the job would be taken over by the monitors.

After dinner, Xiao Lin hastily made his way to the student union building. The building was only five stories high, with a plain, inconspicuous appearance. However, it could be said that the place was the central management hub of the entire academy. Most of the student union departments were located there. Most, not all. That was because the logistics department was almost entirely independent of the student union system.

The meeting room was not large, and Xiao Lin was not late. He pushed the door open and found that almost all other monitors had arrived early, including Chen Yu. In fact, there were still 10 minutes before seven o’clock, but Xiao Lin still felt slightly ashamed.

Everybody was speechless when they saw Xiao Lin. It was the first meeting of the leaders of the new semester, and this guy dared to arrive so late.

Chen Yu did not say anything. He even smiled and took the initiative, saying, “Well, that should be everyone. Let’s start.”

Several people were disappointed that Chen Yu did not say anything to the tardy Xiao Lin, although Xiao Lin was actually not late. However, everyone’s attention was quickly focused on Chen Yu.

“Generally speaking, there should be a monitor meeting every semester, with the objective of setting tasks and goals for the entire semester. However, this will probably be the last time that I will have this meeting for everyone. That’s because, according to the academy’s usual routine, now that we’re in the second half of the semester, we must elect the grade leader for the freshman year.”
