Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"What the heck?! What's going on?! Is the secret realm about to collapse?!"

"No wonder it suddenly felt like an earthquake..."

"Let's hurry up and leave, stop killing monsters, or we won't be able to get back!"

"Principal! We're ready! Please come and take us back!"

The students who were exploring the Black Abyss Secret Realm panicked and hurriedly stepped onto the teleportation beam that would take them back to the academy.

Di Hai clasped his hands together, reopened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Headmaster, we have brought back all the students except for those from the Black Abyss Well."

"Besides the Well of the Black Abyss?" Lan Mi raised an eyebrow. "What about Ye Ge and Xiao Yuxi?"

“I also sent teleportation beams to them, but no one has returned yet…” Earthsea said. “Moreover, the Well of the Abyss is sealed by some strange black mist power, so my teleportation technique can’t get through and I can’t contact them.”

“It seems there really has been an accident…” Lan Mi pondered for a moment, tapped her finger lightly on the table, and said, “Never mind, I’ll personally bring them back.”

"Wait a moment, Principal." Di Hai closed his eyes again and sensed with his mental power for a while.

He then opened his eyes and said, "They're back. Xiao Yuxi and Ye Ge have already boarded the teleportation beam and will be back at the academy soon."

"Is that so..." Lan Mi leaned back in her seat, twirling her silver-gray hair with her fingers, lost in thought.

What were these two little guys doing in the secret realm for so long after defeating the BOSS?

......

A few days after the college's assessment ended.

The results have been released.

"Hahahaha... Yay!!"

Jiang Xiaoming shouted excitedly in class.

He scored 61 points in this dungeon raid assessment!

This means that he has already reached the "passing" standard for core students within the academy!

When Jiang Xiaoming's classmates saw his grades, most of them looked on with envy.

Entering the inner sect undoubtedly means receiving several times more resources and training than before!

His future is incredibly bright...

Jiang Xiaoming immediately took the report card and excitedly ran to Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue's seats.

He wanted to show off!

Ye Ge was sitting in a corner seat, seemingly unconcerned about her grades, with a report card casually tossed aside on the table.

Ye Ge leaned back in his chair, holding a game console in one hand and playing a game.

She would occasionally open her mouth with an "ah~" sound to receive fruit from her deskmate, Gao Shenxue.

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

I clearly entered the inner gate...

But why do I feel like I've lost?

Jiang Xiaoming felt a pang of bitterness, as if he had just eaten a lemon, and his little fists clenched tightly.

hateful!

I really want to be fed a bite too...

"Ye Ge, you're so immature!" Jiang Xiaoming muttered sourly, "You're already ten years old and still need to be fed? We're supposed to be superhuman warriors from the War Academy..."

"Crack!"

Yege took a bite of the honeydew melon that Shenxue's mother had fed her, crunching and making muffled sounds: "What's wrong?"

Night Song has now completely given up resisting.

I just can't refuse Miyuki's mom no matter what.

I might as well just lie down.

Sigh... I'm so ashamed...

Jiang Xiaoming puffed out his chest and said with great pride, "I got first place in my dungeon this time! And I was accepted into the inner sect this year with 61 points! A passing grade!"

Night Song: "Yes, congratulations."

Jiang Xiaoming frowned: "Hey Ye Ge, even if you weren't selected for the inner sect this time, you don't need to be so self-deprecating, do you? I even considered you my lifelong rival!"

Ye Ge didn't say anything and continued playing the game.

Gao Shenxue, who was standing next to him, was holding a small pink lunchbox in one hand and a fork in the other. She looked at him with gentle, calm eyes and asked softly, "Would you like an apple or a melon next?"

Ye Ge tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Honeydew melon, I guess."

"cha"

Gao Shenxue forked a melon, held it to Ye Ge's lips, and slightly opened her mouth to indicate, "Ah~~"

Night Song: "Ah~~"

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

"That's enough..."

"No, as extraordinary warriors of the War Academy, the future pillars of humanity, and the backbone against all races, don't you care about your grades at all?!"

Jiang Xiaoming looked indignant. Then he saw the two report cards on the table.

"Tch, I'd like to see just how many points you got that made you so despondent..."

Jiang Xiaoming angrily picked up the two students' report cards and spread them out to take a look.

Then he froze instantly.

He opened his mouth slightly, stunned for several seconds, then rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he had seen wrong.

Gao Shenxue's report card was filled with a bunch of technical terms used in her evaluation and analysis... and then the last line of the report card, marked as a copy of the assessment score, showed 100 points...

The assessment scores at the War College are quite rigorous.

Generally speaking, getting 60 points is enough to meet the standard for passing the inner class.

70 points is good, 80 points is excellent, 90 points is genius, 95 points is outstanding, and 100 points is prodigy!

That is to say...

Gao Shenxue also entered the inner sect and was rated as a "prodigy" level core student by the academy!!

It's important to understand that even at the Empire's War Academy, where talented individuals congregate, it's rare for a prodigy to emerge even once every few years!

Jiang Xiaoming stared blankly for a few seconds, then stiffly looked at Ye Ge's report card next to him.

Surprisingly, Ye Ge's report card contained absolutely no analysis or evaluation from the teacher, and the grade rating column did not show any specific score.

However, the last line of his document contained two very simple large characters...

—Passed down personally!

And a hastily written signature of the assessment:

—Lan Mi, the greatest principal in history (personal comment).
