Under the media’s rampant coverage, many colleges and universities launched orders to learn from White Deer High. Among them, the leading high schools in Black Dragon City were the most active.
As the birthplace of many provincial champions, Black Dragon City was always an outstanding representative of quality education throughout S Country.
However, they lost that title this year, and White Deer City surpassed them in entry rates to the top 120 institutes.
Black Dragon City’s retrogression exam results also dissatisfied S Country’s education department director, Calvin. After all, he was also the head of Black Dragon City’s education bureau.
Still, he was delighted about the entire country’s performance. Initially, he was proud of the college entrance exams, even though it was lower than average. Nearly 300, including the top 325, made it to the top ten.
Moss was ranked top ten throughout the country. He achieved the best results in the history of S Country’s college entrance exams.
Calvin was the only person who dared to make a change. He had witnessed White Deer City’s education progress and immediately proposed to learn from them.
He led the special activities and began to learn from White Deer City’s high schools. Among them, the main target was White Deer High. He also planned to personally lead a team to White Deer High and exchange ideas with them.
…
White Deer High decorated its main entrance with lanterns and streamers. Banners were everywhere, congratulating a particular student for making it onto a specific institute’s recruitment list.
On the left side of the main entrance’s bulletin board was the most attention-grabbing news of White Deer High’s college entrance exam results. Of course, Moss was the person who received the most attention.
“Moss is the top scorer in S Country, ranking tenth in the country and making it onto Kyoto Institute’s recruitment list!”
“Mill made it to Oriental Institute!”
…
The news attracted the townsfolk’s attention and caused heated discussions.
“Moss is a miracle. What’s even rarer is that he won glory for all knights.”
“I’ve been paying attention to him since the professional competition. I can say he’s a true creator of miracles that always surprises others.”
“Yeah, that kid hasn’t had an easy life either. He came from a low-income family and awakened the knight class, but he has never given up on himself.”
“He has grown along the way, and doubts always accompany him. However, he always proves himself and fights back.”
“It’s only natural for a knight to receive doubts, especially in a world where everyone judges everyone else by their profession.”
“People still doubt Moss, even though he consistently achieves excellent results. Even so, he continues improving himself, which is rare.”
…
Nowadays, White Deer City’s citizens, mainly those who understood Moss better, would genuinely praise him after he achieved remarkable results. Few doubted the young knight, while some were jealous of him.
“Moss does well wherever he goes. His school is fortunate.”
“Yeah, White Deer High barely did anything to nurture him.”
“He only did his best. How much of an effect can any teacher have on him?”
…
Of course, the parents were the most excited when they saw White Deer High’s good news.
“White Deer High’s results this year are astounding!”
“I’ll ensure my son attends that school in the future!”
“White Deer High has been rising this year because of their results in the college entrance exams.”
…
Moss was peacefully at home with his parents as the center of public opinion but was also planning his upcoming summer vacation.
Ring!
His phone rang, and Elroy’s name appeared, so he answered the call.
“Moss, the director of the country’s department of education, is currently at the city’s education bureau. He will arrive at White Deer High soon, so hurry up and get ready. The car I sent should arrive at your house in a moment,” Elroy’s anxious voice sounded from the other end of the call.
“Yes, Director Elroy!” Moss answered straightforwardly. Judging from Elroy’s tone on the other end of the call, he knew how vital this matter was.
After hanging up the phone, he looked for his most expensive suit, put it on, and walked downstairs.
On the way down, he heard from the driver that Director Calvin had personally led a team to White Deer High for an exchange visit.
…
“What a big lineup!” As soon as Moss entered the school campus, he saw luxury cars with Black Dragon City license plates crowding the parking lot. He could not help but feel shocked.
Before the car stopped, he saw Elroy’s assistant sprinting toward the car he was in. “Moss, follow me, quickly. Director Calvin and his people have arrived.”
“O-Okay!” Moss replied and followed the assistant to the largest conference room in quick steps.
As soon as he entered, he was shocked to see the scene before him. People densely packed the vast conference room, looking cramped. Everyone looked at him in unison as he entered.
Moss had experienced many things, but he remained calm on the surface even though his heart pounded frantically.
“Come in, Moss.” The slightly chubby middle-aged man, wearing glasses and sitting in Elroy’s usual seat, was smiling and waving at Moss. He pointed to the empty seat beside him as he spoke.
Michaels and Elroy were sitting on the left of the middle-aged man. The two kept winking at Moss, signaling him to take a seat.
Of course, Moss understood. He saw the middle-aged man as soon as he entered the room and noticed he was sitting in an important seat. Moss knew the man was Calvin, the director of S Country’s education bureau.
Moss bowed to everyone and nodded at Calvin smilingly. Then he walked straight to the seat on Calvin’s right side.
After he sat down, Calvin said, “It’s my honor to come to White Deer High and exchange knowledge with the director and teachers from all major institutes in the country.
“White Deer City has achieved outstanding results in this year’s college entrance exams. Based on that, I know it’s worth learning from this school.”
He paused and looked at Elroy and Calvin. Then he faced Moss and smiled. “I propose we give warm applause to congratulate White Deer City, White Deer High, and more importantly, Moss, for his outstanding results.”
He took the lead and started clapping, instantly causing the conference room to echo with endless applause.
The corners of Calvin’s mouth curled upward as the applause ended. He gazed at Moss expectantly and said, “I’d like you to share your learning experience with us.” He started clapping again, instantly causing the conference room to echo with endless applause.
Everyone looked at Moss in unison again.
