When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Matter of Repeating Classes

As the principal of Luhe High School, Principal Li was naturally expected to observe the moment when the high school examination results were announced.

If the students from his own school scored well, his prestige value would also increase, which was very important to him.

Principal Li was talking with others; today, not only school teachers but also various parents had come, some of whom were well-known in society. He had to be polite in chatting with them.

Xiang Qingde was somewhat anxious, as there were many people talking to Principal Li, most of whom were social elites; he couldn't make his way through.

Those who could speak with the principal were elites from various industries, both in status and realm far surpassing Xiang Qingde; no one noticed him, a plainly dressed old man.

However, Principal Li did notice Xiang Qingde; he found the man somewhat familiar and soon remembered — he was Xiang Tianxing's father, Xiang Beifei's grandfather!

Thinking of Xiang Beifei, Principal Li pondered for a moment, then took the initiative to walk over to him, making way through the crowd, "Don't crowd, there's an old gentleman behind; don't bump into him."

"Principal Li!"

Xiang Qingde finally sighed in relief and squeezed his way to Principal Li's side.

"I recognize you, you are Xiang Beifei's grandfather?" Principal Li said with a smile.

"Yes, yes," Xiang Qingde hurriedly replied, "Principal Li, I have something to discuss with you."

Thinking of Xiang Beifei, Principal Li said, "Alright, come with me."

He greeted the other parents before moving to a quiet spot with Xiang Qingde.

"Mr. Xiang, long time no see!" Principal Li said with a smile.

Xiang Qingde wiped his sweat, saying helplessly, "I didn't expect Principal Li to still remember me."

"Of course, your son is a genius, one of the few SRs in our school, how could I forget him?" Principal Li exclaimed.

An SR student, who had become successful, brought him many system values.

Hearing Principal Li mention his son, Xiang Qingde's expression dimmed slightly.

Realizing this, Principal Li said apologetically, "My condolences."

Xiang Qingde gave a bitter smile and said, "It's all right. I came to see you today for my grandson."

"Xiang Beifei, right? I haven't asked him yet, how did he perform this time?" Principal Li inquired.

Xiang Qingde sighed, "After the college entrance examination, he locked himself in his room for three days, didn't go out to interact with classmates. Ah, I have a rough idea of how he performed."

Principal Li immediately understood.

The kid must have flunked the exam!

And not just slightly!

How desperate must the kid have been to lock himself in his room for three days?

Principal Li could almost feel Xiang Beifei's overwhelming distress in the room.

Being an N-level Awakener with usually poor academic performance, and his first system task being to get into Liangzhou University, was akin to climbing to heaven!

Any person would likely be devastated by such a blow.

He wondered why fate had to play such a cruel joke on this kid!

Principal Li couldn't help but sigh.

"You really need to give him good guidance! Young people are impulsive, and if the pressure becomes too much, it'd be terrible if he does something drastic," Principal Li said earnestly.

Xiang Qingde also expressed his concerns, saying, "Yes, but he tends to keep things to himself. At every meal, to avoid worrying me, he pretends as if everything is normal, and it truly distresses me to see him like that."

He would prefer Xiang Beifei to cry his heart out in front of him.

Let the tears flow out with all his might!

At least that way, he could vent his emotions.

But Xiang Beifei is too sensible!

He just doesn't want to worry me, preferring to cry alone in his room, swallowing his tears.

"Sometimes, being sensible can be heartbreaking!"

Xiang Qingde's guilt deepened a bit more.

"The results aren't out yet, so you don't need to be anxious. Learning isn't achieved overnight. First, let's see if he has improved this time, how far he is from the average university admission score, and then help him strengthen where he's weak. I talked to him a while ago; he wasn't in a good state. His chances of getting into a university this year are indeed slim, but as long as he's willing to try hard, there's still a chance next year," comforted Li Nanxing.

Xiang Qingde responded, "Right, right, that makes sense. However, I've already found him a tutor and am planning to have him retake the year. That's why I came to see you, Principal Li. Could you please help look after him in the repeat class?"

Li Nanxing nodded, "The matter of repeating a year isn't a big issue. However, I suggest that you talk to his homeroom teacher, Professor Yang. Professor Yang leads a repeat class, and since Xiang Beifei is his student, it would be better to consult him."

Li Nanxing looked around in the crowd and pointed out to Xiang Qingde which one was Yang Hua.

"Thank you, Principal Li, I will go and ask him now."

After expressing his gratitude, Xiang Qingde quickly went to find Yang Hua.

Li Nanxing watched Xiang Qingde's receding figure and sighed softly, "It's quite normal for this kid to not get into university this year, but I hope he can get back on his feet!"

——

Yang Hua had been anxiously waiting for the results to come out, as they would determine whether his teaching prestige value could surge once more.

The class leader, Zhuo Jing, stood by his side, looking smug.

"Teacher, don't worry. With my capability, getting into one of the top nine elite universities is easy," boasted Zhuo Jing, puffing out his chest.

Yang Hua smiled and said, "Of course I believe you. You're so outstanding that as long as you perform normally, getting into Liangzhou University is no big deal."

His greatest hope at the moment was pinned on Zhuo Jing, an S-class Awakener!

Just then, Xiang Qingde approached and hastily said, "Professor Yang, I'm Xiang Beifei's grandfather, and I'd like to discuss something with you."

Xiang Beifei?

The one at the bottom of the class?

Yang Hua appeared slightly displeased and frowned, asking, "What is it?"

Xiang Qingde earnestly said, "Well... Xiang Beifei didn't perform very well this time. Although the results aren't out yet, I know he might need to repeat the year. I heard you usually lead a repeat class, and I was wondering, since you're Xiang Beifei's teacher, if he wants to repeat the year—"

As soon as Yang Hua heard that Xiang Qingde was here to discuss Xiang Beifei's retaking the year, his expression darkened, saying, "Mr. Xiang, although I do teach a repeat class every year, I'll be frank with you. A student like Xiang Beifei cannot keep up with the pace of my class, and I won't accept him."

Xiang Qingde was startled and quickly said, "Professor Yang, I haven't managed him well before and I apologize for the trouble it caused. But he will realize his mistakes. I'm planning to hire a home tutor to help him catch up, and he has agreed. Could you give him another chance, please?"

Xiang Qingde, desperate to find a place for his grandson to retake the year, could only bow slightly, his attitude very humble.

Lu Zhiwei had already agreed to tutor Xiang Beifei, and this time, he must ensure Xiang Beifei studies hard to strive for admission to an average university next year.

As a grandfather, he must find a repeat class for his grandson, even if it means having to beg humbly to secure a spot.
