Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 621: Letter of Recommendation

The next day.

After finishing breakfast and sending Yabao and the others to their usual training spot, Qiao Sang headed to Class 6 of Senior Year 3.

Inside the classroom, Tang Yi was scrolling excitedly on his phone.

Since he didn’t have the pressure of the college entrance exam, he spent far more time on his phone than on books.

Seeing Qiao Sang enter, Tang Yi couldn’t wait to share the news he had just seen:

"Our university for the interstellar exchange program has been confirmed, it’s Zhizhou University!"

"Zhizhou University?" Qiao Sang turned her head and froze for a moment.

"But we haven’t even taken the college entrance exam yet. How is the university already decided?"

She remembered that the university assigned for the interstellar exchange program was based on the university one got into, matched with a similar-ranking university in the interstellar system.

Tang Yi was also momentarily stunned.

"Aren’t we both admitted through Central Hollow University’s special admissions program? Since we passed, our spots at Central Hollow University should already be secure..."

His voice trailed off, as he suddenly remembered Qiao Sang’s underachiever status.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Hey, hey, hey! What are you thinking? Why are you looking at me with that guilty expression… Qiao Sang mentally complained but remained calm on the surface as she asked, "Did Central Hollow University officially announce that its interstellar exchange students would be placed at Zhizhou University?"

She had considered her options carefully. Her goal was Central Hollow University, the top-ranked institution in Dragon Nation, as well as the third-ranked Imperial Capital University and the sixth-ranked Dragon's Qingteng University.

She had planned to try for all three universities' special admissions, but the exam schedules for Imperial Capital University and Dragon's Qingteng University had been so slow to release that they still hadn’t opened registration.

Since she had already secured a place on Central Hollow University’s preliminary admission list, even if she later qualified for the other top schools, the college entrance exam would likely only require a score of around 300.

In that case, she might as well focus entirely on the exam and aim for Central Hollow University.

If Tang Yi’s information was correct, then Zhizhou University would be where she’d be spending her first semester.

"No, no." Tang Yi shook his head.

"I just saw it on a news account."

Qiao Sang: …

She gave Tang Yi a speechless look and pulled out her phone to search for "Zhizhou University."

Though internet rumors weren’t always reliable, what if…

Soon, information about Zhizhou University appeared on her screen.

After skimming through the details, she had a general idea.

This university ranked fourth among all top institutions in the interstellar system, not too different from Central Hollow University’s standing among Blue Star’s elite schools. If she got into Central Hollow University, there was indeed a strong possibility she’d be placed there…

So, those news accounts weren’t entirely nonsense after all…

When the last class of the morning ended, the homeroom teacher, Mu Deli, packed her things and smiled at Qiao Sang.

"Qiao Sang, come here for a moment."

The classmates were used to this.

Ever since Qiao Sang’s Steel Falcon had evolved into a new form, the homeroom teacher often called her in for chats, asking things like, "Are you keeping up with the lessons?" "Do you have any difficulties?" "Are you adjusting well?", as if Qiao Sang were her star student.

One by one, the students left the classroom.

Qiao Sang walked up to the podium.

Just as she thought the teacher was going to ask about the lesson, Mu Deli pulled out an envelope from her textbook and placed it in front of Qiao Sang.

"What’s this?" Qiao Sang asked.

"It’s a letter of recommendation." Mu Deli said seriously.

"A recommendation letter for Yulianton University."

Qiao Sang was stunned.

Yulianton University, ranked third across the entire interstellar system. Even though its main campus wasn’t on Blue Star, it was so prestigious that it was nearly impossible not to have heard of it.

Wait, this isn’t meant for me, is it…? Qiao Sang stared at the letter in disbelief.

Mu Deli continued, "With your talent, it would be a shame to limit yourself to Blue Star’s Central Hollow University. This letter will put you on Yulianton University’s radar. The letter is sealed, so there’s no need to open it. If you want to apply to Yulianton, just send it in. Our school has already submitted the electronic version."

"If you prefer to stay on Blue Star, then you don’t have to send it. The choice is yours."

"Of course, this is just a recommendation. Even if you send it, it doesn’t guarantee admission to Yulianton University."

"But I still hope you do. You know, Central Hollow University simply doesn’t compare to Yulianton University."

"Any chance to get into Yulianton is worth taking, don’t you think?"

Mu Deli smiled at Qiao Sang, waiting for her response.

This really is for me… Qiao Sang stared at the letter in front of her.

After a few seconds, she picked it up and sincerely said, "Thank you."

"If you want to thank someone, thank the principal. This was his idea."

8:00 PM.

Sainan High School.

Dormitory Area One.

Room 502.

Qiao Sang sat at her desk, occasionally glancing at the recommendation letter beside her.

Yulianton University… Just thinking about it made her feel dazed.

Until today, she had never imagined that someone like her, a so-called underachiever, would receive a recommendation for Yulianton University.

Does the principal have some kind of filter when looking at me…? Qiao Sang felt both ridiculous and amazed.

It was like in her past life, when she was struggling to get a 325 on the college entrance exam, and suddenly, her school handed her a Harvard recommendation letter, telling her to apply…

Should I send it? It’s just a recommendation, after all. Sending it doesn’t mean I’ll actually get in…

But what if I do?

After all, in the interstellar system, strength matters. And, not to be arrogant, but among all high school students, no one could match her strength…

However, her original plan was to develop her career in the Central Hollow region. If she used up her unlimited spending card, her finances would take a serious hit, and she’d have to go back to a struggling lifestyle…

Then again, maybe she didn’t have to stay in Central Hollow. Her classmates were all children of wealthy and powerful families.

If she stayed on the interstellar system and worked with them, she might earn even more. Plus, the pet battle arena trending on the interstellar system suited her perfectly…

The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.

Then, realizing she was getting carried away, she quickly shook her head to clear her mind.

Calm down, calm down. This is Yulianton University, ranked third in the interstellar system. It’s not a place you just get into on a whim…

But if I do get in…

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Sang picked up her phone, opened the courier app, and carefully filled in her details.

Half an hour later, a pitch-black bird in a green delivery uniform knocked on the window.

"Xun xun?"

Little Treasure floated over, his eyes glowing blue as he used telekinesis to open the window. He let out a chirp, as if asking, Who are you looking for?
