Chapter 205: Academic Exchange Concludes, Awards Ceremony Begins
"So, the winner of the final battle is Xuan Mingtian from Quartz Academy. Let's give him a big round of applause!"
"Clap~Clap~Clap~"
As soon as the judge finished speaking, the audience, including students from both upper and lower grades, and even the teachers of each subject, gave the loudest applause. This shows how significant this victory in the first-year academic exchange was to them.
After all, in the minds of the older students, there are very few first-year students at Indigo Academy who can surpass the Trainer School.
Moreover, many of them had experienced being beaten up, and this treatment didn't change until their second or third year.
Therefore, the students were overjoyed and incredibly proud at that moment. Some even held their heads high, while others directly wanted to become Xuan Mingtian's underlings.
"Now, let's invite the principal of Quartz College to speak on behalf of the college."
After the students cheered for a while, the referee spoke again.
"Ahem, students, this year's academic exchange has now come to a successful conclusion, even exceeding my expectations. I must say, this is a moment for our Quartz College to wash away the shame of the first year. I simply did not anticipate that their performance would be so outstanding and so swift."
However, losing to classmates or students in higher grades isn't terrible. You need to adjust your mindset and not be too discouraged. Temporary setbacks aren't scary; what's scary is taking failure for granted. Now, without further ado, let's move on to the awards ceremony.
At that moment, after a long speech, the principal suddenly announced an awards ceremony. This caused the principal, whose face had turned ashen, to freeze in shock.
"Principal Guo, what award ceremony? I brought my students here, and even now that everything is over, I had no idea this award ceremony existed. Are you not planning to tell me, or do you think my students don't deserve this award? Isn't what you're doing a bit unfair? Do the teachers in your college know about your behavior?"
At this moment, Principal Xiao Fuji looked at Principal Guo with an expression that was three parts annoyance, three parts astonishment, three parts wanting to hit someone, and one part mockery. He never expected that this guy would not tell him about this award ceremony. It was truly something that even an uncle could tolerate but an aunt could not.
"Well, Principal Fuji, it's not right for you to think like that. This award ceremony is a surprise for my students. And as you know, Quartz Academy is really not short of money right now. You must have heard about what happened recently. This event made the academy a fortune, and our little darling has also improved the living standards of all the teachers and students in the academy, so you understand."
Principal Xiao Fuji couldn't believe that the root of this award ceremony was this little brat. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Why wasn't this student from his school? If so, then all of this was his. Lost in thought, he gazed intently at Xuan Mingtian in the distance.
Xuan Mingtian, who was idly sipping his milk tea, suddenly shuddered and scanned his surroundings. A moment later, he finally found the gaze that made him uncomfortable—it was Principal Fuji's.
At this moment, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin's group also noticed Xuan Mingtian's unusual behavior.
"Xiao Tian, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Tian, what's going on?"
"Little Gangbin, that little Fuji Principal from the Trainer Academy, for some reason, suddenly looked at me with such burning eyes. I really want to beat him up."
Faced with his friends' questions, Xuan Mingtian directly explained Principal Fuji's behavior, even subtly gesturing for them to look at this idiot. When they followed his gaze, they undoubtedly received that intense stare as well.
"Xiao Tian, do you think this Principal Fuji might have some homosexual tendencies? Otherwise, why would he look at you like that? It's so illogical."
"Yes, yes, Gang is right. Look at his eyes, it's like he wants to swallow you whole, Tian."
Upon meeting Principal Fuji's gaze, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin began to share their opinions. However, this was followed by a flick on the forehead—not from Xuan Mingtian, but from the previously silent Chen Qianqian. She hadn't expected these two to have such thoughts; perhaps it was because the food had been too good lately.
"Get the hell out of here! What kind of nonsense are you spouting? You can't expect anything good to come out of a human mouth. I think this little Fuji principal is probably just jealous of all the benefits Quartz Academy is getting right now. After all, anyone would be envious of someone who can make a fortune from just one thing. Brother Tian, you're probably going to be busy later."
After Chen Qianqian's analysis, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin both suddenly understood. After all, she was absolutely right; no one would give up in such a situation. Moreover, Quartz Academy had only fulfilled its responsibilities as a school and already reaped such great benefits—it was truly enviable.
"Qianqian is right. Principal Fuji might want to chat with you later, Xiaotian. It depends on what you think."
At this moment, Xiao Gang didn't forget to remind Xuan Mingtian. Because there was a high probability that he might not be able to handle it and would beat him up, this look in his eyes, which seemed to have homosexual tendencies, was truly chilling.
"Now, please come to the front of the stage if you are the winner or the loser of the competition. It will be time for the awards ceremony."
As Principal Guo finished speaking, the students who had been waiting eagerly came to the podium. The principal waved his right hand a few times in the air, and three teachers immediately rushed out from the side. Each of them held ten medals, some gold and some silver.
"Students, the winning team will receive a gold medal and three months' worth of energy cubes. The losing team shouldn't be discouraged; I will reward you with a silver medal for your continued efforts, and you will also receive one month's worth of energy cubes. I hope you will work even harder in the coming days and strive for victory in the next academic exchange."
After Principal Guo finished speaking, he glanced at Principal Koji beside him, as if to say, "See? Even if we at Quartz Academy lose the competition, we still get a reward. You can just stand there and be envious."
