Chapter 721: The New Student Scramble (Luring) Begins!
A slightly empty house, a figure sat on the sofa and turned on the living room television.
Once upon a time, he didn't even have the right to decide when this television would be turned on, but now… he could watch it whenever he wanted.
Perhaps this was the freedom he had once longed for…
But today, many free channels on the television had been replaced with a unified program, and the premium channels… the family membership had expired.
Because today was a very important day.
And Yang Yunhan, uncharacteristically, settled down to watch the world news, a subject he had never been interested in before.
He watched the two neatly dressed hosts using standard common language and a calm yet passionate broadcast voice to narrate the important events of the day.
"Following a period of nervous and eager anticipation, the results of the 1146th college entrance examination were finally released today. Examinees from all over the world, filled with excitement, are checking their scores through various official channels. This moment, for many families, is the culmination of years of hard work and diligent preparation, and the starting point of a new journey in life…"
Listening to the content broadcasted on the television, Yang Yunhan also picked up his newly bought mobile phone and started logging in to check his score.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit dazed about his experience during the college entrance examination, as if everything that happened was too unreal.
It was clear that every subject and every question during the college entrance examination was written by his own hand, but it felt as if none of it had anything to do with him.
It was as if the score achieved in the college entrance examination did not depend on one's personal ability, but on some kind of unknown luck.
While Yang Yunhan waited for the page to load on the extremely poor network, the content on the television continued to play.
"According to the timetable published by the official multi-school bodies, the score inquiry portals for the college entrance examination in various locations are opening one after another. Examinees can log in to official websites and other platforms, enter their examination number and password to view their scores. After the scores are announced, examinees will begin filling out their applications based on their scores and interests, choosing the academies they desire."
"This year's college entrance examination cutoff scores have also been announced. The cutoff scores for each Transcendent Academy are determined by various factors, including the difficulty of the examination, the number of applicants, and the enrollment plan. Examinees, based on the cutoff scores and their own results, are beginning to seriously study their application strategies, hoping to enter their ideal Transcendent Academy for advanced studies."
Looking at his phone, which was still loading, Yang Yunhan got up and walked to the study.
There… was a brand new computer, bought with the money from that card.
This was his most reckless consumption during this holiday.
He hadn't originally planned to spend the money on this, until he checked his balance at the bank and saw the exaggerated number…
He could no longer control himself.
He genuinely liked these things.
He had most of the bad habits of a PC builder.
His parents had promised to let him tinker with these things as he pleased after the college entrance examination, but before he even took the exam, his parents were already gone.
No one was left to fulfill that promise for him…
In the empty house, only these items could give him a slight solace.
However, this time, he turned on the computer not to play games, but to check his score and fill out his application.
Yes, he didn't even need to look at the cutoff scores, because his phone had been nearly bombarded by the admissions offices or mentors of various academies these past few days.
And as he left, the television in the living room continued to broadcast.
"During the application process, examinees must consider not only personal interest and the academy's prospects but also pay attention to each academy's enrollment plan and historical admission scores. Many examinees and parents stated that although the application process is complex, through multi-party consultation and careful research, they are confident in making the best choice for themselves…"
However, this news broadcast did not have the usual criticisms and comparisons of previous years.
After all, every year at this time, the Witch Academy would be highlighted for criticism, and examinees would be warned to be vigilant against Witches trying to lure people into enrollment.
Some things always manifested in inconspicuous places.
When the Witch Academy no longer tolerated the other Transcendent Academies, they didn't even dare to mention a word of criticism toward ordinary people.
This was the external manifestation of the change in the Witch Academy's status in the Main World.
The past tolerance was merely the Witches being too lazy to bother.
At this moment, Yang Yunhan looked at the webpage still loading, even on the top-of-the-line computer he configured.
He couldn't help but fall silent.
Just how many people are checking their scores right now?
Just as he was complaining to himself, he realized his webpage suddenly loaded successfully!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Hmm? Who is it?"
Yang Yunhan subconsciously turned his head and responded.
That series of sounds was knocking.
He subconsciously looked at the monitor screen, but that one glance instantly froze him.
Because he found that his score was unexpectedly high!
In a college entrance examination with a total score of seven hundred and fifty, he actually scored a number starting with a seven!
But before he could even get excited, a series of more urgent knocks interrupted his mood to admire his score.
He could only vaguely see that his score was likely in the seven hundred and ten range before being abruptly interrupted by a loud boom!
"Boom—!"
A terrifying force instantly made the entire house tremble, as if an earthquake had struck.
And on a level he could not see, countless threads of Destiny converged on him, weaving into a giant net connecting several Transcendent Academies.
"Found you here after all, hehe."
Accompanied by such a violent commotion, the front door of the house was broken open, and a cloud of dust billowed from outside the study.
This sudden situation instantly made Yang Yunhan's scalp tingle.
"You! Who are you!"
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am a Senior from the Witch Academy. Yang Yunhan, right? I'm here to take you for enrollment now."
"You… you are from the Witch Academy?"
Yang Yunhan looked at the young woman in front of him, somewhat incredulous, but he immediately reacted.
"How can it be you? My brother… no, my sister? She said she would come for me after my scores were released!"
"Your sister? You mean Yang Yuehan, right? I'm sorry to tell you that your sister, Yang Yuehan, is dead. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see her again. To make up for this regret, I will be the one to bring you into the Witch Academy!"
"What?!"
Hearing the other person's words, Yang Yunhan instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"What does 'dead' mean?"
"Dead means dead. She was too dazzling, so much so that she oppressed too many people and left them unable to breathe. So she was jointly killed by the other Transcendent Academies. It's that simple."
"Wait! I haven't finished asking my questions!"
Yang Yunhan subconsciously reached out to stop her, but how could a mere ordinary person resist a high-grade Senior from the Witch Academy?
"It's fine, it's fine. If you want to know anything, come back to the Witch Academy with me. Once we get there, I will tell you everything. Don't worry, I won't harm you. There's even a huge opportunity waiting for you to inherit."
She reached out, and a Spell restrained Yang Yunhan to prevent him from moving, making it easier for her to take him.
After all, she could tell that the other person was unwilling to cooperate with her, so a moderate amount of force was necessary.
But when she walked out of the house with Yang Yunhan, she realized she couldn't leave.
Because blocking her path was an Elf from the Aphrodite Academy!
"I didn't expect you people from the Witch Academy to act so fast, hehe, you truly lack common decency. Didn't your teacher teach you to knock before visiting someone?"
The Elf tilted her head, looking at the door violently broken open behind the other person, and mocked.
"How I conduct myself is none of your business!"
Accompanied by the commotion of the door being torn down, many people subconsciously came out to see what had happened.
But upon seeing the standoff between the two Transcendent students, they immediately turned and went back inside.
Their lives were more important!
Some people finally realized at this moment that it was again the time of year for Transcendent Academies to recruit.
Although they were somewhat shocked that a genius sought after by multiple academies had appeared in their neighborhood, the fighting between those Transcendent beings… was extremely dangerous!
Moreover, other incidents had happened here recently, and even the Security Bureau personnel had surrounded this area…
This area was truly in a period of turmoil.
At this moment, quite a few households were considering moving.
"How you conduct yourself is indeed none of my business, but I cannot ignore the young man you have in your hands."
"Tch just say you want to snatch him! Bye-bye to you then."
The Senior from the Witch Academy let out a sound of disdain, pulled out a Flying Broom, and flew straight up, carrying the unable-to-resist Yang Yunhan.
But before she could even accelerate, "Swoosh—!"
An arrow shot through her hair.
If she hadn't instinctively dodged, that arrow was likely aimed to kill her!
So, after narrowly dodging, she turned around and cursed loudly.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, she might have crashed right there!
And the Elf was equally unwilling to be outdone.
Although Elves did not have direct means of flight, the power of Elf Magic granted her the blessing of wind.
With just a light leap, she jumped onto the rooftop and chased after them like the wind along the ridge of the houses.
She wasn't going to give up just like that.
But clearly, the situation couldn't unfold so smoothly.
When it comes to stakeouts, who doesn't have that awareness?
So, after the Senior from the Witch Academy succeeded in snatching the person, multiple figures quickly appeared from various directions.
Not just the Aphrodite Academy, but also the Wizard Academy and the Holy Angel Academy.
In just a short while, the number of people who had staked out and revealed themselves here reached dozens!
And that didn't even count those who hadn't revealed themselves…
However, even though the number of people was large, their characteristics were quite uniform.
This was a scramble between the top-tier academies.
Other academies were not qualified to interfere with this scramble.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple…"
The Senior who first took Yang Yunhan away sighed inwardly, seeing how rapidly the situation was changing, and knew she was in trouble.
But to say she was afraid?
When it comes to snatching people, the Witch Academy would never be afraid!
If other academies had ambushes and support, didn't the Witch Academy have any?
Of course they did.
So, with just a single confrontation, most of the pursuing people were blocked by more figures.
These people were all from the Witch Academy, or rather… they were members of the Little Han Support Group and other clubs who rushed over to assist.
There was no perfect scorer in this batch.
Even the student with the highest score in this batch seemed dim compared to this place where Destiny was converging.
This was a continuation of the post-college entrance examination Destiny distribution, and also a conflict that was destined to happen.
This was a battle centered around the "gamble" and the "qualification"…
Soon, the Senior from the Witch Academy, despite riding a broom, came to a halt because her path was blocked by a "bird-man" from the Holy Angel Academy.
"Seriously, you Holy Angel 'bird-men' are getting involved in this too?"
"First, let me state: don't call us bird-men!"
"Secondly, we strongly oppose your Witch Academy's malicious act of snatching people! The young man in your hand was first contacted by our Holy Angel Academy's Preaching Angel! If he is to enter a Transcendent Academy, he should enter our Holy Angel Academy!"
"You people from the Witch Academy should stop harming young men!"
Following this speech filled with righteous indignation from the Holy Angels, the Senior from the Witch Academy, who was carrying one person, was finally overwhelmed by numbers.
"Student Yang Yunhan, are you alright? Did that woman do anything to you?"
After severely injuring and knocking down the student from the Witch Academy, the people from the Holy Angel Academy quickly unlocked the restraint on Yang Yunhan, asking with a look of concern.
"N-no…"
Yang Yunhan, after a few intense coughs, gave a brief response after calming down.
He hadn't expected that simply filling out an application would lead to an event so far beyond his understanding!
Last year, he was terrified when the Imp Academy people showed up at his house.
But this year, when it was his turn, he hadn't expected it to trigger an even more terrifying commotion!
And he was the central figure of all these events…
Although he had been restrained and silenced just now, he quickly glanced at the situation and saw many different people: the young woman who called herself a Witch, the Elf who shot the arrow, and the Angel in front of him with a halo over his head and wings on his back…
These people… were all here to fight over him?!
For a moment, he even fell into confusion.
Why?
Why was this happening?
No… wrong!
He scored over seven hundred in this college entrance examination!
What did that mean?
When he finally reacted, his inner mindset changed significantly.
He scored over seven hundred!
The full score was only seven hundred and fifty.
He was not a good-for-nothing!
Nor was he an accessory to be overshadowed by his brother's shadow!
He scored over seven hundred; those academies must know that… his value came from himself, not his brother… no, his sister.
At this moment, he looked at the sun in the sky.
He had felt it was a bit hot before, but now… he only felt that it was the dawn of his life!
He had proven his worth!
His score… he scored so high.
This was a score he had never achieved in his previous mock exams…
And he was also told that his sister… was dead.
The shadow that constantly oppressed him had finally fallen!
"Yang Yunhan? Yang Yunhan, are you alright? What's wrong with you?"
The Holy Angels were confused, seeing Yang Yunhan smiling blankly like that.
But time was of the essence.
They, the Holy Angels, had to quickly take the person away.
If they didn't take advantage of the other academies being entangled, and those opponents realized and formed a united front, they would be in for a bitter fight.
So, they ignored the smiling Yang Yunhan, directly grabbed his arms, activated the Angel Wings Divine Art, and immediately transformed into a stream of light, preparing to escort him away.
Not long after, just as they expected, the other academies saw the Holy Angel Academy people directly snatching the prize.
They stopped fighting among themselves and instead, united in their hostility, chased after the stream of Holy Light that the Holy Angels had become.
"Watch out!"
Just as the Holy Angels were accelerating their Divine Art to leave at the fastest speed, one Holy Angel immediately noticed something amiss.
"Dodge!"
But this warning was too late.
The foreign object accurately struck the face of one Holy Angel, but the expected critical injury did not occur.
The fragments of the "foreign object" splashed onto many Holy Angels.
However, the Holy Angels who reacted quickly had already raised their Divine Art Shields.
The Holy Angels, forced to stop, then clearly saw what those fragments were.
They were… red cake crumbs and cream.
"It's… it's Red Velvet Cake! Watch out!"
"What?"
The Holy Angels who were still unaware of the situation were confused, but… another female voice rang out.
"I made it! This is truly a bitter karma… Holy Angels, hehe… you 'bird-men' are the people I hate the most in this life! Die for me!"
"It's Xia Li! Watch out for her!"
