Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the first day of school, Lu Wu went with Tutu, with dark circles under his eyes.

Speaking of these dark circles, he did not get enough sleep the whole night after waking up.

He was crazily searching up information on the Internet.

Searching up things like “Summoned beast murder incident”, “My summoned beast is a little weird”, and “Is it true that summoned beasts will not betray its owner no matter what?”

The first two search queries that Lu Wu entered produced results that were somewhat normal, but when he searched the last one, weird things like “How to make the summoned beast do 18+ things?” and “The messy relationship I have with my humanoid summoned beast” came out.

These weird search results greatly interfered with Lu Wu’s search efficiency and wasted his time. His pair of dark eyes dilated as a result of these messed up things.

But what Lu Wu read all night was not just about all this mess, at least he found something that made him feel more at ease.

He knew that the summoned beast basically wouldn’t harm its owner.

Although he did search up some incidents of summoned beasts hurting people, there were basically no cases of summoned beasts bullying their own owners. On the contrary, there were many instances of despicable summoners bullying their summoned beasts.

After confirming this, Lu Wu’s heart settled a little.

When he reflected back on how Skeleton was making gestures with the rope, Lu Wu roughly figured out what the little guy was trying to do with a rope in the middle of the night.

Lu Wu, who didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry after figuring this out, scolded Skeleton a little and strictly ordered it not to move about at night.

But to appease and encourage this little guy, Lu Wu still patted its head and commended it.

Although this incident scared Lu Wu at first, when he thought about it carefully, he realized it was a good thing after all.

At least, this meant that Skeleton was getting smarter and more intimate with him.

So, this sort of thing was still worth encouraging.

As a matter of fact, Lu Wu was much more patient with Skeleton than with Tutu.

Well, Tutu had a say on this point, but she dare not point it out.

　　…

After Lu Wu arrived at school with Tutu, he discovered that he was not the only one with panda eyes. Especially after he arrived in class, Lu Wu saw that many of his classmates were like him.

This was because, like Lu Wu, many people did not get enough sleep last night.

The difference was that Lu Wu didn’t sleep well because of Skeleton, while the others didn’t sleep because of anxiety.

For the first and second year high school students, there was basically nothing to do on the first day of school.

But for third year students like Lu Wu, the first day of school was one of the most important days of their semester.

After all, the class division for the third year of high school would be carried out today.

Today was the day that would decide whether they could enter the special class and whether they had any chances to be admitted to the University of Summoners. For those students who had anticipated entering the University of Summoners, such anxiety was naturally inevitable, and insomnia was also something normal.

So Li Chun was already quite familiar with this, but after entering, his eyes focused more on Lu Wu.

Li Chun was still very concerned about Lu Wu and knew about Lu Wu’s situation during the summer vacation.

After all, it was him who introduced Lu Wu to Li Kai, so he often asked Li Kai about how Lu Wu was doing. Although Li Kai was too ashamed to say that he had been trying to hang on Lu Wu’s coattails, he still told Li Chun some of Lu Wu’s circumstances.

Therefore, Li Chun knew that his uncle seemed to think very highly of Lu Wu and had been spending much effort in training Lu Wu. Under his uncle’s training, Lu Wu’s Skeleton seemed to have improved a lot in terms of both quality and overall strength.

This should have been a good thing, and Li Chun should be happy for Lu Wu. But when he thought about the news he heard today, Li Chun felt a little sorry for Lu Wu especially when he saw Lu Wu’s pair of panda eyes.

“He had gone through so much and finally gained my uncle’s approval and received training. I hope he can get the approval from that person and enter the special class!”

After quietly blessing Lu Wu in his heart, Li Chun spoke.

“Everyone please be quiet, I have something to say about the placement assessment for the special class!”

“This year’s special class placement assessment is a little different from the previous years’. The exams for cultural class will no longer be conducted, and the placement will just be based on assessment for the overall strength of the summoned beast.

Students who wish to enter the special class, and meet the requirement that the summoned beast reaches the Iron level, or has obtained at least three skills, can go to No. 3 Sports Field immediately for the summoned beast’s strength assessment. ”

Li Chun’s words instantly started a commotion among the whole class.

No one would have thought that there would be such a change in this year’s special class assessment. Not to mention the cancellation of the cultural class assessment, the standard for the summoned beast’s strength assessment had also been raised significantly.

Iron quality or obtaining three skills?

This standard directly disqualified some students who had barely met last year’s standard. This sort of students were the most devastated when they heard this as they could not accept it.

Lu Wu hadn’t been eliminated. He was just a little surprised. Why was there such a big change in the placement assessment this year?

But being surprised was one thing, he would still go for the assessment.

Lu Wu had already made the decision right from the beginning. He would go to the special class first, he would stay if he was happy, and leave if he was not. Anyway, he had a golden finger, so he did not have to make a compromise and stay.

Therefore, after he informed Li Chun, and under Li Chun’s complicated look, Lu Wu directly brought Tutu to the No. 3 Sports Field.

When Lu Wu came to the No. 3 Sports Field, there were already dozens of schoolmates here.

Seeing so many schoolmates, or rather, seeing so many people who had summoned beasts of Iron level, or summoned beasts obtaining 3 skills, Lu Wu’s eyes lit up. He could not control his eager hands.

Then Lu Wu left Tutu and started doing his same old business.

But this time, he didn’t just touch the girls’ summoned beasts. As long as it was a schoolmate, he would strike up a conversation, and as long as it was a summoned beast, he would touch it.

After one round, Lu Wu had collected the data of dozens of summoned beasts. And while collecting the data of these summoned beasts, he also gained a rough understanding about the changes in the assessment of the special classes this year.

There were rumours that the school had hired a teacher who graduated from a key University of Summoners, who would become the head teacher of the special class. And changes made in the placement assessment were all done by her!

There were even rumours that this teacher was a very young and beautiful lady.

When Lu Wu heard this, he suddenly felt that this plot was a bit familiar. He had a strong sense of Déjà vu and felt a little irritated.

His talents might attract this teacher, and she might become immersed in his good-looking face.

To put this simply, it’s just so annoying to have a good-looking face!

And just as Lu Wu was feeling irritated, a cold and arrogant voice sounded along with the footsteps of high heels. “That student over there who is touching the bird and whose summoned beast is a Skeleton, you may leave now!”
