Chapter 173: Summoned by The Dean

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was logical that monitors were usually students with talents. They could at least gain everyone’s acknowledgment with their skills, even if they were only listening on the surface.

Class Seven had a unique situation since Xiao Lin’s SS-rank talent could not be announced. Even if he did not understand the reason for the secrecy, after Harry held him back by force, he developed an understanding.

People get envious when faced with talent!

“Relax. Now that I’m back, we’ll have decent results in the third monthly examination.” Xiao Lin consoled the two of them. He was quite confident in his claim.

The two of them mumbled to each other and suddenly shut up, looking toward a corner. Xiao Lin followed their line of sight and saw a group of people walking toward their direction, probably looking for empty seats. At the helm was Wang Dalin.

Wang Dalin was joking around when he saw Xiao Lin and he was stunned. His face was a very interesting mix of shock, embarrassment, and rage. The time that Xiao Lin was not around were his happiest days in the academy, especially since Xiao Lin was not around to continue banning him on the forums, which said a lot of things.

However, the protagonist was back. Even though he spread the rumors himself, after it spread around, enough he began to believe it as well. Wang Dalin’s good mood evaporated immediately. He was not someone who could conceal his own emotions, and he immediately mocked, “Oh, if it isn’t acting monitor Xiao Lin? You actually have the guts to come back here?”

Xiao Lin composed himself, not wanting to bicker as he smiled. “Of course I’d come back after finishing the tasks that the school asked me to do.”

He raised his volume on purpose, gaining quite a bit of attention. Xiao Lin was planning on dispelling the rumors that way.

Wang Dalin was in an awkward spot. Even if he knew that was the truth, he would not acknowledge it. Twisting the topic around, he said, “Who knows where you went?! Ah, do you know how pathetic our second monthly examination was? You are a disgrace of a class monitor.”

Xiao Lin was thankful for this man’s naivete. He had exposed his own intentions so easily. Even though he knew a lot of people were eying the class monitor spot in the class, only the man in front of him was so transparent.

“I might not know what you’ve been talking about on the forums these days, but I think I should continue to ban you now that I’m back.” Xiao Lin felt it was impossible to keep talking to Wang Dalin.

The Class Seven students around them could not help but laugh. Xiao Lin had banned Wang Dalin for the entirety of their first month, but they did not feel that it was not deserved. Wang Dalin was extremely rude on the forums. He mocked people and spread ill-rumors; the rest of them hated it, but were just not willing to do anything about it.

Wang Dalin’s face turned red with anger. As long as Xiao Lin was still the class monitor, there was nothing he could do about it. Wang Dalin’s voice turned several pitches higher as he said, “Ban away! Do whatever you want! You’ll only be the class monitor for half a month more! Do you really think you can keep up with us after ditching classes for over a month?!”

With that, Wang Dalin’s mood improved a lot. He felt that he had a huge advantage. He started with decent attributes and had been working hard at his training. As long as Gu Xiaoyue was not competing with him, he had full confidence in himself.

The rest of them agreed with that somewhat. Everyone knew Xiao Lin had started out with very low attributes and he had less training than them by more than a month. Everyone felt that Xiao Lin would really not be able to continue being class monitor after the monthly examinations. With that thought in mind, they could not help but feel some sympathy for Xiao Lin.

Class Seven’s situation was really too unique. The other classes all had talented monitors. Even if their classmates had thoughts of seizing the positions, two months of training and examinations would reveal an obvious gap in the skills of students with and without talents, and the other students could only resign themselves to their fates.

Xiao Lin’s phone suddenly rang and he hurriedly answered it at the table. A baby-faced man suddenly appeared on the magical display, causing everyone to step back in shock.

They were very familiar with that baby face; it was the student union president of Dawn Academy. In the two months they had been there, the new students have gotten used to the lifestyle and regulations of the academy. The student union president was basically a leader with immense power in their eyes. Outside of the dean, the student union president held the most power at the school.

Someone like that had actually called Xiao Lin, so a lot of them immediately put down their food as they looked on.

Xiao Lin felt a little awkward. He could more or less guess what it was about. Even though Chen Yu had told him that his request would be forwarded to the student union, he did not expect such a quick response.

“Xiao Lin.” The student union president had a gentle voice. He seemed to have heard the noise surrounding Xiao Lin, as he asked, “Are you at the cafeteria?”

“That’s right. It’s quite noisy here, let me head somewhere else... Huh?” Xiao Lin did not even finish speaking when his entire surroundings turned quiet. The gossip caused them to be very curious as to why the student union president was looking for Xiao Lin.

The president smiled as he waved. “It’s fine, I’m just letting you know that you should come over to my office at eight tonight. I just received news from the dean: he will be hurrying back from the New World to meet you tonight.”

“That’s great! I’ll be there on time,” Xiao Lin exclaimed.

“Won’t the dormitory lock the doors at seven?” someone said softly, but it was clearly heard in the silence.

The student union president laughed softly and said, “Oh, I almost forgot this rule for the new student dormitories. It’s an automatic rule in the system, so let me think for a bit. How about this. I’ll just lift the rule for you. From now on, you can enter and leave the dormitories as you please. It will be like that eventually anyway.”

The student union president’s words were very meaningful. If he had contacted the dean, then he must have had some exchanges with the dean as well, but he could not divulge too much right then.

The call hung up, and everyone looked at Xiao Lin in admiration.

The short call had contained a lot of information and all the onlookers were absolutely silent as they digested.

The dean was rushing back from the New World just to meet a new student at night, and even the student union president had to call him personally, even giving him so much special permission.

That was not the kind of treatment that a regular person could possibly have. More accurately, Xiao Lin was probably the only person in the entire first year who could possibly have that kind of treatment.
