Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 159 - 152: Xiao Ru’s Transfer School Story (Part 2)
"Wait a minute."
"I suddenly remembered a place, and there’s an investigator from our division working there. Hold on, I’ll ask for you."
"Okay, I’ll leave it to Director Long then."
Lu Lin hung up the phone and waited for a short while before Director Long sent him an address and communication number.
"This is Duck’s phone number. Just contact him when you get there."
"Thanks a lot, Director Long."
Lu Lin replied to the message and then took Zhou Ziqiang and Xiao Ru to the location according to the address navigation.
"Chongnuo Renoumé Academy."
A grand main gate, beautiful walls, and a lovely school environment.
Just with a first glance at Mingli Academy, Xiao Ru fell in love with the place.
"Lu Lin brother, is this the school you found for me?"
"I like it."
"Yeah," Lu Lin nodded, "since you like it, then let’s enroll here."
"Great!"
Xiao Ru cheered and hugged Lu Lin’s arm.
Zhou Ziqiang, however, had a worried expression, "Mr. Lu, this place isn’t cheap, right?"
"I don’t know, I’ll ask."
Lu Lin called Duck, though he wouldn’t use that nickname directly.
"Hello, I’m Lu Lin. Just now, Director Long gave me your number."
"I have a little sister who’s transferring from Blue Star."
"Hello, I see you guys. Hold on a bit, I’ll come to pick you up immediately."
Duck agreed and quickly ended the communication.
Shortly, Duck appeared in front of the three.
His figure was slightly chubby, he wore round glasses, had a buzz cut, and wore a bright tan checkered suit, though underneath he wore a white t-shirt instead of a shirt.
"Hello Lu Lin, I’m Han Ya. This must be your sister, right? She’s really pretty, please come in."
"Thank you, Brother Han."
Lu Lin expressed his thanks and followed Han Ya into the school.
"No worries, no worries, we’re all family here, no need to be so formal."
"Lu Lin, our Mingli Academy was established over 100 years ago. It’s an elite aristocratic academy that, as long as your grades are sufficient, allows completion of all studies before University from kindergarten through Junior High School and High School."
"The school adopts a humane management approach, ensuring teachers have a thorough understanding of each child’s physical, mental, and educational status. Therefore, we have small class sizes, with no more than 20 students per class, equipped with a main class advisor and a deputy class teacher."
"Moreover, the school offers various interest classes like Go, traditional Chinese painting, music, dance, arts, football, Lego, reading... and so on. In the primary school phase, we ensure that the pure study time does not exceed 3.5 hours daily, and the rest of the time, children participate in social practice, interest activities, etc."
As Han Ya introduced while walking, Lu Lin couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
"Brother Han, I noticed at the entrance that it seems our school is boarding. Does that mean boarding from primary school?"
"That’s right, Lu Lin, Xiao Ru, you don’t need to worry about this. Besides having two class advisors, our school has dedicated life teachers responsible for children’s living, helping them develop independent living habits."
"Lu Lin, our school has been cultivating students like this for over a hundred years, and even those who can’t awaken after High School can quickly become social elites."
"This is all due to their early cultivation and training."
Lu Lin turned to look at Xiao Ru.
Xiao Ru thought for a moment and glanced at Zhou Ziqiang again.
Then she nodded.
From the time Lu Lin drove earlier, Xiao Ru determined that this place wasn’t close to Lu Lin’s home.
If she didn’t board, Lu Lin or Zhou Ziqiang would have to pick and drop her off.
She didn’t want to trouble others with such matters.
"Good, that’s right. Xiao Ru has her own ideas, which is good. Now it depends on whether Lu Lin dares to let go."
"Wait a moment, Brother Han."
Lu Lin was just about to agree when Zhou Ziqiang asked, "Brother Han, I want to ask, how much is the tuition fee per year."
"Tuition fee?"
"Hahaha, Xiao Ru is Lu Lin’s sister, so she’s my sister. Would my sister attending our school need to pay any tuition?"
"When Xiao Ru comes, she can bring some small plush toys, clothes, etc., that she likes."
"If she has pets, she can keep them in my office too."
"Really? I have a lot of pets!"
Xiao Ru’s eyes lit up.
"No worries, our school can accommodate as many as you have."
"There’s a base at the back playground of the school specifically for small animal rearing. We occasionally bring some harmless exotic beast cubs to raise when entering the Exotic Battlefield, adding to the children’s knowledge."
Listening to this, Lu Lin nodded repeatedly, impressed by the school.
The conditions and facilities were excellent, there were many interest classes, it was introduced by acquaintances, and there was no need to worry about the teachers treating Xiao Ru unfairly.
It was very reassuring to leave Xiao Ru here, with distinct play and study times.
As for the tuition, since Han Ya didn’t bring it up, Lu Lin wouldn’t ask either.
Later, he would simply gift Han Ya something suitable.
After all, having a child study shouldn’t be that expensive, no matter how high the tuition might seem.
Not talking about money keeps the conversation heartfelt.
Lu Lin nodded, and thus, the matter was decided.
Han Ya led the three of them to his office to prepare various procedures.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ru ran out to the garden outside the office to play with Han Ya’s blood-maned chasing horse.
The blood-maned chasing horse is a type of exotic beast produced in the Exotic Battlefield. When it reaches adulthood, it can become Third Level, and with breakthroughs, it can get promoted to Sixth Level.
The pony Han Ya had was estimated to be only half a year old, but it looked quite remarkable.
"Once the procedures are done, Xiao Ru will be a student of our school. You can prepare, just bring her before July 1st."
"No need to bring bedding, but bring a few sets of clothes."
"By the way, does Xiao Ru keep a lot of pets?"
Han Ya asked curiously.
He liked keeping pets himself and was surprised to meet a little friend who shared the same hobby.
"Yes, quite a few, but all her pets have one characteristic."
"Oh, what characteristic?"
"Haha, you’ll know when you see them."
Lu Lin said mysteriously, and Han Ya asked no more.
Among the three, only Zhou Ziqiang seemed a bit uneasy.
Lu Lin owed someone a favor for Xiao Ru’s schooling.
In this world, favors are more precious than money, especially for a potentially limitless genius like Lu Lin.
As long as this favor is owed, its value increases as Lu Lin’s abilities grow.
"Bro!"
"Oh, you have guests."
While they were talking, a young man pushed the door open and entered.
This young man was about Lu Lin’s age, and he looked quite handsome and shy.
"Yes, this is Lu Lin, this is Zhou Ziqiang, and this is my brother Han Fei. He’s taking the College Entrance Exam this year like you."
"Bro, they’re in the same grade as me?"
Han Fei looked with interest at Lu Lin and Zhou Ziqiang, "Hello, you guys."
After speaking, Han Fei walked to Han Ya’s side, "Bro, why hasn’t Teacher Guan arrived yet?"
"Oh, sit tight, I’ll call him."
Han Ya stood up and went to the phone on the balcony.
After making the call, he returned to tell Han Fei, "Wait a bit, Teacher Guan’s friend got sick; he’ll be here in about ten minutes."
"My brother is a bit shy by nature, and yet he’s awakened to the Fire Talent. I wanted him to learn more combat experience, so I hired a boxing coach for him."
"This Teacher Guan is quite a coincidence. He’s also a Saturnite. Maybe he’s from the same hometown as Lu Lin."
Han Ya said with a smile.
But Lu Lin instantly thought of Guan Yue’s grandfather, the one who found Inch Step in the Exotic Battlefield those years ago on Saturn.
Sometimes, these uncanny connections make Lu Lin wonder, as the world is vast, and the federation population numbers in the trillions.
And yet, inexplicably, fate always seems to bring him together with familiar people.
