Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress - Chapter 33: The Only Way Out, a Transfer Application?
Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Only Way Out, a Transfer Application?
’Let bygones be bygones?’
’Only a fool would believe that.’
Gu Yuexi sneered inwardly. She knew exactly what “let bygones be bygones” really meant—’Hand over the goods, then obediently wait for us to settle the score later.’
It seemed she was now left with only two choices.
The first was to hand over the three cubs, remain at the school, and save her life for the time being.
The second was to forcefully keep the cubs. The people from the Jingzhe Guild certainly wouldn’t dare to act openly on school grounds. However, if she did that, the school, in its attempt to appease the guild’s anger, would almost certainly expel her.
Once she left the school, she would be a fish on the chopping block, left to be carved up by others.
’But then again…’
’Even if I hand over the cubs, will the school really not expel me?’
Gu Yuexi’s gaze casually swept across the dean of discipline’s wide desk.
On it, besides her own student file and a stack of documents, was a glaringly obvious… “Student Expulsion Recommendation Form,” already more than halfway filled out.
It was obvious. No matter what she did today, the school was already prepared to abandon her to give the Jingzhe Guild a satisfactory explanation.
So, both choices led to a dead end.
’What should I do?’
Gu Yuexi’s mind raced. The experience and disposition from her past life as an Empress allowed her to remain absolutely calm, even in a desperate situation.
Soon, she thought of a third option.
One fraught with risk, but also the only one that could break the stalemate.
She lifted her head, meeting the scrutinizing gazes of the principal and the man, her clear, cold voice echoing in the office.
“According to Article 37 of the Great Xia Education Act, students of Lingwu High School have the right to submit a transfer application to any institution of the same or a higher level.”
“I want to apply for a school transfer.”
A brief silence fell over the office.
The dean and the principal exchanged a glance. They saw a hint of surprise in each other’s eyes, but more than that, a sense of… expected mockery.
Of course, they knew about this regulation.
It was a special channel established to prevent local schools from burying true talent for various reasons.
Until the result of the transfer application was announced, the student’s status would be in a “frozen and protected” state, and their original school had no right to expel them or take any other action.
This was indeed the only way she could save her life right now.
But… for how long?
“Heh, sure.”
The man from the Jingzhe Guild, Liu Kun, was the first to laugh.
He leisurely sat back down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and put on an expression like he was watching a good show.
The principal also expressionlessly pulled a new form from his drawer and pushed it in front of Gu Yuexi.
“A transfer application, is it? We have the form ready for you. Which school do you want to transfer to? Go ahead and fill it out.”
They knew it as clear as day.
The transfer application process usually took only a week to get a result.
Given the utterly abysmal conditions on Gu Yuexi’s student file, what Lingwu High School in the entire Sui Ming Province would possibly approve her transfer request?
Absolutely none!
Therefore, her actions were merely postponing her death sentence from today to a week later.
It was just a final, desperate struggle.
Gu Yuexi paid this no mind. She picked up the pen and, without the slightest hesitation, wrote a few bold, flourishing words in the “Target Institution” field—
Du Nan City, First Lingwu High School!
When the principal, the dean, and Liu Kun saw the words she had written, all three of them were stunned.
The air in the office seemed to freeze.
Several seconds passed before the dean of discipline looked at her as if she were an idiot and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Gu Yuexi! Have you been scared stupid? Do you even know what kind of place Du Nan First Lingwu High School is?!”
Du Nan City is the capital of the entire Sui Ming Province, a mega-city that ranks among the top in the nation!
And Du Nan First Lingwu High School is the most prestigious institution that all students in the province dream of attending!
Their Jiang City is just a small city. Jiang City Lingwu High School isn’t even worthy of carrying the shoes of a place like that!
“To get into Du Nan First Lingwu High School, the minimum requirement is to have reached the First-Grade Early Stage upon enrollment as a first-year! That applies to both the Martial Dao and Beast Taming!”
“And you, Gu Yuexi? The third-year joint exams are just around the corner, and your file still says you’re only a First-Grade Early Stage Martial Artist! At Du Nan First Lingwu High School, that’s the kind of rock-bottom existence that wouldn’t even qualify for admission!”
Of course, Liu Kun and the principal were also experts. They could naturally perceive that Gu Yuexi’s current true Martial Dao strength was around the First-Grade Middle Stage.
But did that make any difference?
They had no idea how Gu Yuexi had managed to snatch the cubs from the Shadow Fang Squad. She must have just gotten ridiculously lucky!
A First-Grade Middle Stage trying to transfer to Du Nan First Lingwu High School, right before the third-year joint exams?
It was a complete fool’s dream!
Without strength at the Peak of First-Grade or higher, they wouldn’t even give her application a second glance!
If she had applied to a school in another small city, there might have been a tiny chance of acceptance, allowing her to cling to life a little longer.
But by choosing Du Nan First Lingwu High School, she was absolutely courting death!
A week later, her application would be rejected, and she would be expelled immediately. Then, she would be meat on the Jingzhe Guild’s chopping block!
“Hah, interesting.” Liu Kun watched Gu Yuexi with great interest, a cruel smile playing on his lips. “Little girl, since you’re so confident, we’ll play along.”
“I’ll give you one week.”
“A week from now, I expect you to return what’s ours, with interest.”
After speaking, he didn’t linger and turned to leave the office.
Gu Yuexi couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on the two school leaders who were already prepared to sell her out. She handed over the application form and also turned to leave.
This left only the principal and the dean of discipline staring at each other, both thinking that Gu Yuexi had gone completely insane.
…
’One week?’
Perched on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, Chu Sheng, who had been silent the whole time, calculated silently in his mind.
’That’s more than enough!’
He breathed a sigh of relief, giving a mental thumbs-up to his Empress’s quick thinking.
’Heh, you can always count on us! We carved out a path to survival from a hopeless situation!’
Why was it enough?
Gu Yuexi also knew it as clear as day.
For others, one week was a death sentence. But for her, it was the only chance to turn the tables!
She was currently carrying three High-Level Bloodline Azure Flame Flying Lion cubs. These weren’t just ordinary Cultivation Resources; they were three mobile “Essence Blood treasuries”!
With the domineering power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Melting Furnace Technique, as long as she devoured and refined all the Essence Blood of just one of the cubs…
…she was fully confident that she could forcibly push her strength from the First-Grade Middle Stage to the Peak of First-Grade within a week!
If she was lucky, it wasn’t entirely impossible to even touch the threshold of the Second-Grade!
Although it was a pity to kill a Demon Beast cub of this level, at this point, she had no choice but to sacrifice one…
As long as her strength was sufficient, passing the transfer assessment for Du Nan First Lingwu High School would no longer be a fool’s dream!
Once she became a student at Du Nan First Lingwu High School, the Jingzhe Guild would absolutely never think of touching them again!
