Chapter 1040: Permanent Rejection!
What's going on outside?
Wei Yue turned and went out the door, where he saw three students and their parents arguing.
"What are you doing?!"
Upon seeing him emerge, a soldier who had been blocking his way reported, "These are still students who want to drop out; they want to see the principal."
Wei Yue looked at the three students.
There were two boys and one girl, all of whom were quite young, looking to be around eleven or twelve years old.
He remembered the girl; she was the youngest student, a little girl named Axi.
But this girl has always worked very hard, so why is she thinking of dropping out of school?
Wei Yue nodded: "Come in. The principal just returned. I've already told her about your situation. Please go inside and wait."
After saying that, he turned and went into the office.
Gu Yin looked at the three students who had entered, already accompanied by their parents.
Judging from their clothes, they don't come from wealthy families, so they shouldn't have dropped out of school.
"Can you give me a reason for dropping out? I'm the principal, and I want to know why you want to drop out of a school that's tuition-free, where you only need to pay for meals and accommodation to learn real skills? You need to know that countless people outside want to get in. You were only able to get in because of the distance advantage you have with the locals. Once you drop out, you'll never have the chance to come back again. Think it through."
As Gu Yin spoke, she made a phone call: "Let's call all the people who want to drop out of school over at once, and deal with them all at once while we have some free time."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin looked at the group and said, "Go on."
At first, they found it hard to believe and even suspected something was amiss when they saw such a young girl, but now, seeing her expressionless face and cold eyes, the adults took a step back, looking at each other, none of them willing to speak first.
Seeing their reaction, Gu Yin wasn't in a hurry. She decided to wait for them to arrive together before making any decisions.
During this time, she checked the information on these people.
Twenty minutes later, everyone had arrived.
Gu Yin looked at the dozen or so people who came in from behind.
He stood up and walked to his desk, arms crossed: "Are you all leaving? If you withdraw, none of the schools in the Five Elements Academy will accept you anymore. Are you sure you want to leave?"
The group looked at each other and nodded: "They're leaving!"
Gu Yin nodded: "Is the training too strenuous?"
Some people nodded, while others remained silent.
Gu Yin pointed to the few who were nodding: "You can leave now."
The group hadn't expected Gu Yin to be so agreeable, but since it was their request, they didn't think much of it, immediately nodded, took the withdrawal consent form from Wei Yue, and left.
A group of people left, leaving seven, including the first three.
Gu Yin looked at them: "You four, did you drop out of school because you're afraid of your superpowers?"
The four nodded.
"Are you afraid of fire? Because you've never been trapped in a fire before?"
The person with fire-type abilities nodded. The fire had burned his family to the ground, and he had been rescued by the skin of his teeth. He had been traumatized ever since, and yet he had also developed fire-type abilities.
He tried to overcome it, and he did, but it didn't work!
Gu Yin nodded and looked at the other person: "Are you afraid of water?"
It was the same experience again: I drowned.
Gu Yin looked at the last two people: "I understand that they are afraid of their own abilities. After all, as we get closer to the end, fire and water dragons won't be a problem. But you two have wind-type abilities. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of heights?"
The two men shook their heads.
"He's my friend, we came together, and if he leaves, I definitely have to leave too." This person was referring to the one with fire-type abilities.
"Me too. We agreed to stand together through thick and thin. We were together when we were drowning, and now that we're leaving, we'll be together too."
Gu Yin: "...I understand. Alright, I won't approve your four withdrawal applications. There will be other arrangements later. You can go back now."
The four people wanted to say something, but they were only about seventeen or eighteen years old and were a little afraid of Gu Yin, so they didn't dare to speak and had to go back first.
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at Chi Xing, who nodded and went out.
Wei Yue was a little puzzled by the two of them speaking in cryptic terms, but he didn't ask them anything at the moment.
The last three came with their families.
Gu Yin looked at one of the chubby boys: "Why did you drop out of school?"
"My grandson was so chubby and adorable! Look how skinny he's become since he came to your school! And he's all dark-skinned! Anyway, he's already awakened his superpowers, there's no need for him to continue studying! Our family owns several shops! We earn tens of thousands a month, there's no need for him to suffer! You need to refund us right now!"
Before the child could say anything, the grandmother quickly spoke up.
Gu Yin ignored her and instead looked at the chubby boy: "What do you think?"
The chubby boy nodded: "I don't want to study anymore. I want to go back to school. It's too tiring here. I'm so tired every day that I can't breathe. I want to go home!"
"Isn't the food here good? Aren't your superpowers fun? You've lost all that extra fat. Look how energetic and handsome you are now! Don't you want to be even more handsome?"
The chubby boy hesitated, but finally shook his head: "The food is really delicious, and the superpowers are fun, but it's really tiring. I can't keep going! Forget it, I'll just go home!"
Gu Yin tried to persuade the other party as usual, but the other party insisted. She wouldn't try to persuade them a second time. Everyone has their own destiny, and if they couldn't hold on to it, then so be it.
"Alright, you can go back now."
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at the second family and asked, "What's your reason this time?"
This time, the boy spoke up without his parents having to say anything: "I just wanted to come here to awaken my superpowers. I didn't intend to continue studying. The few months I've spent here have been enough. I want to go home."
"Yes, yes, we're in a hurry to get home, please approve it quickly!! Don't delay us! We're begging you!"
This voice belongs to the same person who was making a scene at the door earlier.
Gu Yin approved it without even asking any questions.
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at A Xi, who was a little timid, and the old lady who was wearing clothes that were patched but clean.
"So, why do you want to drop out of school?"
Axi clenched her fists: "I... I just want to go home. I don't want to study anymore."
Gu Yin looked at the old lady beside her and asked with a smile, "Grandma, did you know she's going to drop out of school?"
The old lady shook her head and said nervously, "I didn't know. I just found out today and rushed over. My daughter Axi said she was tired, unhappy, and stressed. The child is already like this, so let her retire. I don't ask much of her, just that she grows up healthy. Her parents passed away a long time ago. Principal, she's not happy about it, so let's respect the child's wishes. In our family, Axi has always been the one who makes the decisions."
Gu Yin looked at A Xi: "Is it because of the accommodation and food expenses?"
Axi quickly shook her head: "No, I just feel tired and don't want to study anymore."
