Chapter 11: Holy Water High School

Qiaosang was heartbroken.

Is this why you suddenly attacked the TV?!

She lifted Huoyagou's head to prepare to give him a good scolding.

"Click." The door opened.

Qiaosang slowly turned her head, forcing a stiff smile, "Mom, you're back."

"Pigeon!"

The Fat Home Pigeon immediately came to her mother, rubbing against her affectionately.

Mother looked at the mess in the living room and was silent for a few seconds. She then turned to Qiaosang and asked kindly, "Do you have anything to say?"

Qiaosang immediately raised Huoyagou in front of her, "It's all his fault!"

Huoyagou blinked his innocent big eyes.

Mother stared at Huoyagou for a moment and said, "It will be deducted from your allowance."

Qiaosang looked at her resentfully.

"Do you have any objections?" Mother asked.

"No," Qiaosang answered insincerely.

Her monthly allowance was 1000 League Coins, and the TV cost at least 4000 League Coins. Losing four months' allowance was certainly a problem.

"I went to your school," Mother walked over and sat on the single sofa, with the Fat Home Pigeon following.

"Is there something wrong?" Qiaosang asked.

Fang Sisi had mentioned this in her message.

Mother didn't answer the question but asked, "Do you have any high schools you want to attend?"

Qiaosang was slightly stunned, thinking for a moment, she said, "Hanggang Sixth Beast Control High School."

The Sixth Beast Control High School wasn't ranked sixth in Hanggang City; it was just named that way. It was of medium strength among all the beast control high schools in Hanggang City.

She chose this school purely because it was close to home.

With her previous grades, she wouldn't have been able to get into such a school, but now that she had awakened autonomously, she could try through special admission.

Mother took out a recruitment brochure from her bag and placed it in front of Qiaosang, "I think you should try to apply to this school."

Qiaosang picked it up and looked at it, her eyes twitching.

"Hanggang Holy Water High School?"

Mother said calmly, "Yes."

"Mom, aren't you overestimating me?" Qiaosang said helplessly.

She put the brochure on the coffee table.

Holy Water High School, ranked first among the 108 beast control high schools in Hanggang City and second in the entire Zhehai Province, had a college admission rate of 98.73%, making it one of the top schools.

Students who could get into this school were naturally the best of the best in Hanggang City.

If there were still six months until the high school entrance exam, Qiaosang would be willing to try hard, but with only 19 days left, it was completely impossible to get in.

Since that was the case, why waste time trying to apply for the special admission to this school?

Qiaosang didn't understand; even if she had awakened autonomously, wasn't her mother's expectation too unrealistic?

Mother looked at Qiaosang calmly and said, "You sign up, and as long as you try your best, I won't deduct your allowance."

Qiaosang picked up the brochure on the coffee table and said, "It's not about the allowance; I just want to give it a try."

Mother's lips twitched, "Then go sign up online now."

"Okay." Qiaosang picked up Huoyagou and left.

Ye Xiangting watched her daughter's back with a smile, but her expression turned serious as she thought about what happened at school in the afternoon.

...

Qiaosang went to her room and turned on the computer, applying to both Hanggang Sixth Beast Control High School and Holy Water High School.

The rankings of these two schools were vastly different, and their special admission requirements were also different.

Qiaosang mainly looked at the special admission for autonomous awakening.

The conditions for Hanggang Sixth Beast Control High School were relatively simple. After uploading proof of autonomous awakening and passing the review, the score would be reduced based on the degree of brain domain development.

A 5% brain domain development would reduce the score by 100 points from the minimum score required for the Hanggang high school entrance exam, and 6% would reduce it by 200 points.

For example, if the minimum score last year was 332, Qiaosang would only need to score 132 on the high school entrance exam if she could develop her brain domain to 6%.

Given Qiaosang's current grades, it wasn't a big problem.

As for Holy Water High School, it was more complicated. Only five students who had awakened autonomously would be admitted, and after the application review, they would have to participate in a pet battle at a designated time and place.

Students who placed second to fifth would need to score 50 points higher than the minimum score required for the high school entrance exam to be admitted.

The first place had slightly relaxed conditions, needing only to reach the minimum score required for the Hanggang high school entrance exam.

Although people who awaken autonomously are rare, if you consider the entire Zhehai Province, there are still 40 to 50 people each year.

Excluding those who are guaranteed admission or choose special admissions to other schools, Holy Water High School still receives over a dozen applications each year for autonomous awakening, as it is the top-ranked school in Hanggang City, and it has its reputation to maintain.

Qiaosang looked at the special admission exam date for Holy Water High School, which was June 10th, a week before the high school entrance exam, or 12 days from now.

A pet battle.

Qiaosang thought for a moment. All the applicants for special admission had awakened autonomously this year, and their pets were all at the beginner level. She had contracted a fire-type pet, so she wasn't at a disadvantage.

Thinking of Huoyagou, Qiaosang was slightly stunned, then her consciousness entered the Beast Control Codex.

[Name: Huoyagou]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Level: Beginner (115/1000) +]

[Skills: Bite (Beginner 73/100) +, Charge (Advanced 135/500) +, Fire Fang (Beginner 2/100) +, Spark (Beginner 3/100)]

[Points: 0]

Qiaosang's consciousness exited, and she looked at Huoyagou with a strange expression.

You got a Spark skill just from watching TV?!

Is 4000 League Coins worth a skill?

Well, it actually is...

A pet's potential is limited, and you can't tell how good a pet's potential is just by looking at it. A pet with good potential learns skills and awakens again much faster than an ordinary pet.

If you're unlucky and contract a pet with average potential, it might take a year to learn even one skill.

Qiaosang looked at Huoyagou, lost in thought.

Her Huoyagou has good potential. Should she take it to watch a horror movie next time?

Huoyagou's body shivered involuntarily. Why did it suddenly feel cold?

...

...

22:12 PM.

It was late at night, and everything was quiet.

Qiaosang lay in bed, her hands behind her head, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She tossed and turned for a while, then sat up and looked at the still energetic Huoyagou.

Huoyagou was puzzled by the prolonged gaze.

"Ya?"

Qiaosang spoke softly, "I'm not angry about this morning. Do you want to watch TV again?"

Huoyagou remembered the morning incident and knew he had been wrong. The things in the TV couldn't come out.

"Ya."

He nodded, indicating he wanted to watch.

Qiaosang picked up her phone and searched for the most popular horror movie recently, placing it in front of Huoyagou.

Huoyagou watched intently.

A white-clad girl walked through a foggy forest, and through her perspective, a black shadow floated in the air...

Qiaosang didn't watch along. Her right hand was on the phone, observing Huoyagou's reaction and ready to stop at any moment.
