Chapter 14: I Want to Take a Leave

Qiao Sang looked at Dai Shushu for two seconds and smiled, "Yes, do you have anything else?"

Dai Shushu's eyes slightly narrowed, and she shook her head, "No."

Qiao Sang turned and returned to the classroom.

Just as she sat down, Fang Sisi leaned over, "What did Dai Shushu say to you? Your face looks so bad."

"Does my face look that bad?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Yes, you look so serious, it scared me to death," Fang Sisi joked.

If there was a mirror, Qiao Sang would want to take a look.

Fang Sisi then asked, "What did Dai Shushu want from you?"

"Nothing much." Qiao Sang picked up her book and started reading again.

Fang Sisi wanted to ask more, but seeing Qiao Sang's unwillingness to talk, she closed her mouth.

After the morning classes ended, Qiao Sang packed her things and went to the office of the third-year junior high department.

"Teacher, I want to take a leave," Qiao Sang stared at the old teacher's thick hair.

The old teacher stood up abruptly.

There was another female teacher in the office, and her gaze immediately locked on.

The old teacher restrained himself, "Do you know what you're saying? The high school entrance exam is only a few days away, and you're asking for a leave. I haven't even asked you to write a reflection for your last truancy."

Qiao Sang said seriously, "Teacher, if you don't give me a leave, I'll have to skip class. I'll write the reflection later."

A vein popped on the old teacher's temple, "Does your family know about your leave?"

Qiao Sang didn't answer.

The old teacher took a deep breath, sat down, and said earnestly, "If you don't want your mother to come to school again, go back to class. The last time was a misunderstanding, but even if you have awakened, you can't neglect your studies. The exam is only a few days away."

Qiao Sang smiled, "Last Friday, my mother came to school, and you were there too."

The old teacher was taken aback and replied, "I asked your mother to come to school to explain your truancy."

Qiao Sang tilted her head and asked, "Why did you make my mother leave?"

The old teacher was stunned, his face complicated, thinking Qiao Sang's mother had told her, and he didn't know how to answer.

He and the head teacher of Class 9 shared an office.

That day, Dai Shushu and her mother came to the school, coinciding with the time Qiao Sang's mother was there.

Dai Shushu had just been recommended to Shengshui High School, and the vice-principal came to congratulate her.

The office's attention was focused on Class 9.

At that moment, Qiao Sang's mother explained that her daughter had awakened and contracted a pet beast, and she was so happy that she forgot to ask for a leave.

Children can lie, but adults won't be so naive; he naturally believed her.

This was a happy event, but unexpectedly, everyone in the office paid attention, and Qiao Sang's past was revealed.

Dai Shushu's mother made some sarcastic remarks, and Qiao Sang's mother argued with her.

Dai Shushu cried on the side.

As the school's treasure, she couldn't be made to feel wronged, so the vice-principal asked Qiao Sang's mother to leave.

The old teacher considered himself a qualified teacher.

He didn't engage in interpersonal relationships, worked diligently, and after 20 years, finally became a head teacher.

This long wait had drained his initial enthusiasm, and he didn't dare to speak up when his students' parents were treated differently.

But he didn't think he was wrong; he was just a bystander, and there was no need to explain the process to a child.

The old teacher paused and said, "It wasn't a forceful expulsion, just a request to let your mother calm down."

Qiao Sang smiled, "I understand, but this request made my mother sick. You know our family situation; only I can take care of her."

The old teacher's气势也蔫了, "How long do you want to take off?"

Qiao Sang replied, "Until my mother gets better."

The old teacher hesitated and said, "Come back as soon as possible. The exam is only a few days away."

Qiao Sang nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at Qiao Sang's back, the old teacher added, "Review at home. The exam is coming up, and come back as soon as your mother feels better."

Qiao Sang turned and looked at the old teacher, smiling, "Teacher, your wig is crooked."

The old teacher: "……"

The female teacher: "……"

……

Hanggang Xiangzhen Beast Combat Club.

"How much does your club charge for a junior trainer for a day?"

"Hello, our trainers are charged by the hour. A junior trainer costs 1000 Alliance coins per hour. If you book for a whole day, we can give you a 98% discount," the front desk lady smiled and said.

The Beast Combat Club can provide different trainers based on the client's requirements. As a popular industry today, it has spread across various neighborhoods.

In some listed Beast Combat Clubs, if you can afford it, they can even provide S-level Beast Masters as trainers, but there are very few such clubs.

Xiangzhen Beast Combat Club was the fifth club Qiao Sang had visited.

The reason she visited so many clubs was simple.

Not enough money...

Qiao Sang touched the money in her pocket, held Firefang, and walked out silently.

Qiao Sang was a bit lost, not knowing where to go.

Initially, she had a laissez-faire attitude towards Shengshui High School. If she could pass the special admission, it would be great, but if not, she still had the sixth Beast Master High School as a backup, which wasn't a big deal.

But now, she wanted to attend this school.

The special admission exam for Shengshui High School was in 10 days. With her current level, she wasn't sure if she could even pass the minimum score for the high school entrance exam.

The second to fifth places needed to score 50 points higher than the minimum score to be admitted, and Qiao Sang wasn't confident.

Therefore, she had to aim for the top spot in the special admission exam to get the minimum score as a bonus.

With this decision, she needed to start training Firefang early.

Although Firefang is a fire-type pet beast with strong attack power, it is still a young one with no combat experience. The last victory was mainly due to the 2v1 and the opponent's slow reaction.

If she went to the special admission exam like this, getting first place was unlikely.

With only 10 days, staying in school would be a waste of time. She could study on her own while training Firefang.

She had a golden finger, and through combat, she could significantly improve Firefang's fighting ability in a short period.

Qiao Sang had a good plan, but she was confused when she stepped out.

There are many pet beast combat competitions and venues, but they have many requirements. Some competitions require a certain level of Beast Master.

Beast combat competitions also need to earn ratings and ticket sales. New Beast Masters usually only have a junior pet beast, and their battles are repetitive and not exciting to watch.

Without an audience, there are no organizers willing to lose money by hosting such events.

Qiao Sang checked, and the nearest competition in Hanggang City that F-level Beast Masters could participate in was on June 30th.

The timing was perfect, as by then, third-year junior high students would have finished their high school entrance exams, and those who needed to contract pet beasts would have done so.

There would be a large group of new Beast Masters, so there wouldn't be a lack of participants.

Additionally, their parents, teachers, and various friends and relatives would form a solid audience base, ensuring high ratings.
