Chapter 185 Powerful Action: Expelled from Norton University [3 Updates]
"Okay." The professors nodded upon hearing this.
They exchanged a glance, and both understood each other's intentions.
The professors were well aware that having the board of directors present an exam for a D-level student was an overstatement, and it was highly unlikely that they would actually condescend to set the questions.
What shocked them most was that the school board member was so young.
Before this, they had never heard of the school having a board of directors.
After all, Norton University is different from other universities; it is shrouded in mystery, yet it has managed to rank first in the world.
The source of funding for Norton University is unclear, but there are no publicly known investors.
Therefore, unlike other partner schools and private schools, it does not have a school board that can make decisions on major school matters.
All major decisions at Norton University are made by the president alone.
Now there's suddenly a school board member, and she's a girl. Could she be the principal's granddaughter?
But the professors had never actually met the president, didn't know if there had been a change of leadership, or how old the president was.
"Student He, please take a minute to prepare." A professor glanced at his watch and said, "We will take turns asking you questions."
He Xun was still in a daze, unable to come to his senses.
He looked at the girl, and his already tense nerves snapped.
It was as if one thunderbolt after another exploded in his mind, turning it into a wasteland, shaking his mind and spirit, and causing him to collapse in an instant.
This time, it wasn't a public Q&A session on Qingzhi, nor was it a midterm exam, nor was it in class.
The girl sat on top, and although she wasn't looking down at him, He Xun felt an unprecedented pressure and inferiority.
His pride and excellence, which he was so proud of, were also shattered at this moment.
They were completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind.
Is Ying Zijin a member of the Norton University Board of Trustees?
But wasn't she just an adopted daughter of the Ying family, an ordinary person from the countryside?
How could someone like that possibly have any connection to Norton University?!
He Xun felt a chill run through his body, his blood seemed to run cold, and he couldn't believe it.
"Student He?" The professor noticed something was wrong with him. "Student He, don't be nervous, I'll give you one more minute."
He Xun nodded mechanically, not even knowing how his voice came out: "Yes, Professor."
But that one minute made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Especially those he had always looked down on, now became people he had to look up to.
He Xun found it completely unacceptable.
"Student He, my question is related to alchemy." After one minute, the professor spoke up, "In your senior year, you will have an elective course called The Origin of Alchemy."
"As we all know, alchemy is a chemical philosophy and its ancestor in the Middle Ages, and it is also the prototype of modern chemistry. Many famous scientists in history have studied alchemy and promoted the development of chemistry, but modern science denies its existence."
"My first question is, please tell me what you know about alchemy. My second question is, in your opinion, does alchemy exist?"
He Xun prepared a lot of materials for this assessment.
But he never expected that the first question would be about alchemy.
These are all elective courses for seniors, and they're not related to their majors, so who would listen to them seriously?
“I… alchemy, um, it…” He Xun recalled with difficulty, “its goal is to transform base metals into precious metals, and then, there is…”
Upon hearing this, the professors all shook their heads.
Although they wouldn't force D-level students to know these things, this kind of answer really didn't sound like an elite from Norton University.
"You stumble over your words, lack logic, and are not serious." Finally, Ying Zijing's gaze fell on He Xun again. "If you're going to be this casual, you might as well not take the exam."
She raised her hand and pointed to the door.
He showed neither joy nor anger; his words were devoid of any emotion, very indifferent.
"Get out."
Upon hearing these three words, not only He Xun but also the four professors were taken aback.
The last thread in He Xun's mind snapped. He looked up abruptly: "Why should I get out? I don't know, but do you?"
"I don't need to know." Ying Zijing propped her head up with her hand, her expression languid. "If you were truly capable, you would take this position, and you wouldn't have to leave."
Nothing is more damaging than having your own words returned to you completely untouched.
He Xun's face was deathly pale, and his expression was even more disheveled.
He walked out dejectedly, his steps unsteady, staggering and almost falling.
"You can continue." Ying Zijing stood up and left through the back door.
The four professors looked at each other for a moment, then continued calling out numbers.
**
The vice principal was waiting outside.
He wasn't afraid, since none of the students knew him anyway.
Upon seeing the girl emerge, the vice principal hurriedly went to greet her: "Why did you insist on coming to the D-level assessment? I already told you, there's nothing to see here."
"It's nothing," Ying Zijing tilted her head and chuckled, "It's just helping someone get revenge."
I can tolerate it if you mess with her.
Bullying her younger brother is unacceptable.
The vice principal was taken aback: "Who would dare to touch your people?"
The situation was too complicated for Ying Zijin to explain. She simply said, "I will stay here for two more days and help me find my medicine furnace so I can refine a medicine for you."
Although alchemy in O Continent and ancient medicine in China are the same thing, they are quite different.
What alchemy cannot cure, ancient medicine can.
More than two hundred years have passed, and Ying Zijin has no idea what the world of alchemy and ancient medicine is like now.
However, in the past, the alchemy community and the ancient medicine community would send people to each other's territories to exchange ideas every now and then.
"Okay, okay!" The vice principal slapped his thigh. "I'll go prepare right away."
He ran a few steps in a hurry, then seemed to remember something: "Speaking of which, since you're back, why don't you stay here?"
"There's also an SS-level academy in the school called the Astrology Star System. How about I offer you the position of dean, and you can teach the students?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing pulled her hat brim down: "Oh, you didn't actually realize that I'm already dead."
"..."
**
Because there were 500 participants, the assessment for students at the D-level academy lasted for three days.
As the professors predicted, only nine people passed the assessment in the end, while the rest all failed and had their degree certificates revoked.
The trainees were disappointed, but they had no choice but to accept it.
It's because they didn't pay attention in some classes, and when they were tested on alchemy and astrology, they really couldn't answer.
Several students whispered among themselves as they moved out of the school's temporary dormitory.
"But what's going on with He Xun? His name was posted directly on the school's external website."
"Isn't this just telling everyone that he got expelled from school? That's so tragic."
He Xun also could not accept it.
He certainly knew who had instructed the school to do this.
But when he tried to see Ying Zijin, he couldn't find her at all.
"Mr. He, even if you were no longer a student, you can't just see a member of the board of directors whenever you want." The professor at the door stopped him, smiling in a very formulaic way. "What qualifications do you have to clamor to see a member of the board of directors?"
"She's being unfair!" Besides feeling humiliated, He Xun felt mostly anger. "We all failed the test, so why am I being treated differently from everyone else?!"
This is clearly a message to the world that he is no longer a student at Norton University.
"The school board member said that we should ask Mr. He what he has done in the past," the professor said tactfully. "An eye for an eye, Mr. He is Chinese, do you understand this principle?"
He Xun's expression froze.
As he recalled the things he had done at Qingzhi, the color drained from his face.
He initially disliked students like Ying Zijing because she was a poor student.
Later, it was because she was too arrogant and even joined the school bully in bullying her classmates.
Therefore, he will treat them differently.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. He, the school board specifically asked me to pass on a message to you." The professor pushed up his glasses and smiled again. "She said that her abilities are greater than you think."
"There's one more thing you need to see."
As he spoke, the professor placed a photocopy of a document in front of He Xun, reminding him, "Remember to return it to me after you've finished reading it."
He Xun's back was tense, and it took him a long time to finish the document.
This is an admission letter.
Unlike an invitation letter, an admission letter is the official document issued by Norton University and will also be recorded in your student record.
The invitation letter is only an invitation to students selected by Norton University to come to Norton University. Only after the students have been evaluated will an admission letter be issued.
This is something even rarer than an invitation.
He Xun lowered his head, his expression stiff, and saw the words on the admission notice.
Norton University, SS-level college.
Wen Tinglan, Department of Mechanical Engineering.
I checked the time; today is October 22nd, the initiation date for Ying Huang to join the Hidden Alliance.
It just so happens that He Xun has been dismissed.
Let's celebrate with a monthly pass!
