Chapter 760 - My Master Is Team Monarch’s Slashing God

What Yun Jian said was not that she wanted to go to the school but she was going there. She was going to attend Min City’s military school!

The fundamental difference between “wanting to go” and “was going to go” was—”wanting to go” posed a possibility while “was going to go” was something already determined.

Their classmates who had been perking their ears up to catch which school Yun Jian wanted to go to were dumbstruck. A fatty, a guy, who sat two seats left to Yun Jian—Zhang Jian was his name—guffawed the moment he heard her.

The others broke out of their trance and disbelief colored their faces.

After a hearty guffaw, Zhang Jian stopped himself but he could not help the laugh that still escaped him. He told Yun Jian snickering, his fat body trembling as he did, “Hahaha... Are you trying to kill me with that joke? You’re going to the military school, Yun Jian? With your scrawny self? Pft, stop making me laugh. Who in the military school would dare accept you?”

“Yeah, Yun Jian, your grades are great but this is the military school we’re talking about. Only super strong and fit people could make it in there. Do you think they’ll take in just anyone?” someone chorused after Zhang Jian once the latter spoke up.

“I think it’s better you apply to Di Yi Senior High. Your grades are more than enough to qualify you for the school. Don’t be foolish and fill in the military school when the application form for the high school entrance exam is distributed. Otherwise, you might not even make it into Di Yi Senior High!”

...

Yun Jian was the top-scorer back in the five-school collaborative exam, so she naturally became the role model of the class.

Now that she said that she was going to apply for the military school, everyone could not hold themselves back as they jumped to advise her. After all, no one in the class—except Chen Xinyi—knew that Yun Jian was an Advanced Special Forces soldier.

It was only the students who did not know as the teaching staff back in the office were well aware of Yun Jian enlisting in the Special Forces. Ge Junjian had personally made his way to the school to recruit Yun Jian into the AFS back then and it happened exactly in the office. Yun Jian, too, had agreed to join right in front of the teachers.

“Why do you have so much to say when you don’t know anything!” Chen Xinyi was quick to jump out and defend Yun Jian.

Although it was an evening self-revision session, everyone in the class was chatting among themselves. Unless their homeroom teacher came back, no one would be able to quiet down now.

“Of course our Jianjian will be able to get into the military school. If she can’t make it, you boys won’t be able to either!” Chen Xinyi boasted in confidence.

Close to their graduation for junior high school, there would be scouts coming to graduating classes to specifically recruit strong athletic students to military schools. Boys would be recruited to military schools while girls would be recruited to become future air stewardesses.

Ordinary people in 1999 were unable to afford trips in an airplane while those who went to military schools were basically guaranteed jobs upon graduation, so schools like that were undoubtedly every student’s dream-come-true.

However, those who were selected were rare and few in between—perhaps only a handful in the whole Longmen Yi Junior High School.

“Pft, Chen Xinyi, why are you so confident that she’d be accepted into the military school? Hah, look at how petite she is. I wonder if she could even reach the bare minimum qualification of the military school!” Zhang Jian continued to say with a wiggle of his fat body.

“You...” Chen Xinyi felt her hackles rising from what Zhang Jian said.

“That’s because my master is an Advanced Special Forces soldier! Team Monarch, you heard? Hmph, my master is Team Monarch’s Slashing God!” Just when the entire class was sure that Yun Jian would not be able to make it to the military school, a slightly sickly voice of a guy rang.
