HBWMA -Chapter 257 New Student Registration

Xia Xingchen?

The instructor thought for a moment. During the morning meeting, it did seem like a specially admitted student had been mentioned—someone who had passed Yucai’s entrance exam with a perfect score. He was supposed to report to the Academic Affairs Office today.

Top-tier talent is valued everywhere. The instructor’s expression softened slightly as he pointed to the sofa in the corner. “Come in. I’m busy right now—have a seat over there and wait a bit.”

“Alright.” The young man nodded, walking into the office with modest composure. As he sat down, his gaze casually swept toward Su Zhuo across from him.

Su Zhuo was looking down at his phone, paying no attention.

The instructor pulled out the home-visit records, glanced over them quickly, and spoke a little nervously, “Young Master Su, please take a look.”

Su Zhuo accepted the file and read it word for word. But when his eyes reached the signature at the end, he suddenly paused.

The air fell silent.

“Young Master Su, this report was written by Student Shen. She’s more familiar with the situation. Should I call her over? If you have any questions, you can ask her directly.” The man carefully observed Su Zhuo’s expression as he spoke.

Su Zhuo’s gaze flickered slightly. “No need. It’s clearly recorded—reasonable and well-supported. There shouldn’t be any mistake.” With that, he closed the file decisively.

In truth, the school had already explained the entire situation clearly during the home visit. The Shen family’s trip here was simply to ensure Su Miao hadn’t been wronged. But now that Su Zhuo had glanced through it and chose not to pursue further, even the instructor was left confused.

Still, it was a good thing the young master wasn’t looking to make trouble. The teacher carefully took the file back.

“Brother.”

At that moment, Su Miao pushed the door open and walked in. Her gaze swept across the office before settling on Su Zhuo. “What are you doing here?”

“I had half a day off this morning, so I thought I’d come see you.” Su Zhuo stood up and gave the instructor a slight nod. “Please continue your work.”

The instructor was flattered, bowing slightly. Only after the two of them had left did he let out a long breath of relief.

Turning back and seeing Xia Xingchen still sitting upright on the sofa, he immediately resumed his authoritative teacher demeanor. “Xia… Xia Xingchen, right? Bring me your enrollment documents.”

Su Miao led Su Zhuo around the campus, her tone tinged with complaint. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming?”

Su Zhuo looked around at the scenery. “Did you inform the family beforehand when you got into a fight at school?”

“Pfft—” Zhou Qishan couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“What are you laughing at?” Su Miao shoved Su Zhuo irritably. “Fu Xiaoxiao had it coming. And that Shen Mianzhi—making a big deal out of nothing, writing a report to accuse me.”

Su Zhuo paused, then lightly tapped her forehead. “You’re just being unreasonable. ‘Accuse’ isn’t even the right word—she was just following the rules. What’s wrong with that? On the contrary, you—pretending to be crazy one moment, fighting the next—you’re the one who needs to reflect.”

Su Miao was stunned. “I only said one thing about her, and you say three things about me. Are you even my real brother? You’re siding with outsiders!”

Su Zhuo cleared his throat. “It’s precisely because I’m your brother that I understand you.”

Furious, Su Miao shoved him again. Su Zhuo sighed helplessly, letting her vent.

The three of them continued forward, bickering and laughing as they entered the Elite Teaching Building.

“A-Yun, what are you looking at?”

Su Yun stood by the flowerbed outside the building, holding a stack of documents. Her expression was complicated as she stared at the young man beside Su Miao.

Zhao Tang followed her gaze and exclaimed in admiration, “That must be Su Miao’s brother, right? I heard he’s quite an impressive figure. Did you see the single-star insignia on his shoulder? Only executive officers are qualified to wear that.”

Su Yun withdrew her gaze calmly. “Let’s go, Teacher Wu is still waiting.”

“Oh.” Zhao Tang hurried to catch up. “A-Yun, are you really not going to reconsider? Father Han said it only takes three hours a week, and the opportunity is rare. This time, it’s the bishop personally selecting candidates. If you’re chosen to become one of the bishop’s followers, that’s the highest honor. I only managed to get this slot with great difficulty.”

Su Yun shook her head. “I’m still not going. There’s been a lot going on at home lately—I can’t really spare the energy.”

Zhao Tang looked a little disappointed. “Alright then.”

As they spoke, they happened to pass by the discipline office, just in time to see the disciplinary teacher walking out with a handsome young boy. Su Yun and Zhao Tang quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Good students always leave an impression on teachers. The disciplinary teacher recognized Su Yun as the top-ranked freshman and nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhao Tang curiously sized up the boy walking alongside him. “Who’s that? He’s pretty good-looking.”

Su Yun suddenly recalled that when she went to the office yesterday to submit documents, all the teachers had been discussing someone. Could it be him?

“This is the De Cai Building, and the one across from it is the Ying Cai Building,” the disciplinary teacher said, pointing at the two buildings ahead. “They’re like the boundary between Chu and Han—you must remember this. If you want to graduate smoothly, the line between them must not be blurred.”

The two buildings had completely different styles—one luxurious and grand, the other bright and almost sacred.

Xia Xingchen smiled faintly and followed the teacher into the De Cai Building.

It was still break time, and the corridors were filled with students lingering about. Xia Xingchen’s arrival drew plenty of attention. Yu Cai wasn’t an ordinary school—if someone could transfer directly into the De Cai class a month after school had already started, they were undoubtedly a highly sought-after talent among top institutions.

The teacher brought Xia Xingchen to Class 1 of Grade 2 (De Cai), just about to hand him over, when someone suddenly shouted from outside.

“This is bad! There’s another fight in Ying Cai Class 1-3!”

The teacher’s temples throbbed. He tried to pretend he hadn’t heard it, but a gossip-hungry student rushed straight into the classroom to report.

“Teacher, you need to go take a look! The girls from Ying Cai Class 1-3 are pulling each other’s hair again!”

“……”

There was no ignoring it now. The teacher could only hand Xia Xingchen over to the class monitor before turning and rushing out of the building.

More and more people gathered in the corridor. After a moment’s thought, Xia Xingchen followed the crowd out of the classroom—when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

“Damn! That’s impressive! You really wouldn’t expect it—Fu Sui’er is taking on four people by herself!”

Xia Xingchen lazily lifted his gaze. In his line of sight was a girl with a defiant expression, hands on her hips. Every time someone rushed at her, she kicked them away decisively and without hesitation. Her ruthless moves stood in stark contrast to her delicate, harmless-looking face.

By the time the disciplinary teacher arrived, all four of her opponents were already on the ground. Around them, the Ying Cai students were cheering in unison.

“Who is she?” Xia Xingchen asked the class monitor beside him, intrigued.

“Fu Sui’er. The one she beat up is Miss Fu—Fu Xiaoxiao.”

Xia Xingchen’s gaze flickered slightly before he turned back to continue watching.

The teacher kept trying to persuade Fu Sui’er, but she didn’t listen to a single word.

Fu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was even more agitated. Ignoring everyone’s attempts to stop her, she began shouting curses.

The De Cai Building was some distance away, and with the noise of the crowd, it was hard to hear exactly what Fu Xiaoxiao was yelling.

But the expressions of the students on the Ying Cai side had already changed—and even the teacher’s face turned pale.
