Chapter 6: The First Day of School
Translator: Henyee Editor: JulesNye

It was the first day of school at No. 60 High School.

Oh, no, to be more precise, it was the first day of Foundation Establishment high school nationwide.

Huaxiu nation's education policy had always adhered to the "no rules, no order" motto. Based on a cultural heritage thousands of centuries old, this adage definitely wasn't just for show. Getting to school on time, attending morning classes, eating lunch, leaving school, wearing the compulsory school uniform... all of these had already long existed in well-preserved historical books on school rules and regulations dating back hundreds of years.

Last night, while Wang Ling had been eating his crispy noodle snack, the uniform had been sent to his home via space delivery.

The school uniform was blue and white in color, and looked like sportswear. There was even a specially printed word on the back of the uniform, a large "ELITE" for the elite class...

Although he had already prepared himself mentally, Wang Ling still couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath at the uniform style.

He understood the reasoning behind it.

It was normal for an established culture that was thousands of centuries old, or for promoting ethnic culture, or whatever... but couldn't their damn sense of style have also improved a little bit?! What the hell was up with the "ELITE" on the back of the uniform? A privilege for the elite class?

Looking at it from all sides, Wang Ling felt that the inspiration for the uniform was definitely copied off the ancient prison uniform for deathrow inmates thirty thousand years ago, which typically had the word "DEAD" printed on the front and back.

However, you couldn't say that there weren't any improvements. Almost all the pockets on the uniform were space storage, their capacities so large they would almost never be completely filled.

This was a true achievement in line with Huaxiu nation's education policy, which for thousands of years had aimed to reduce the burden on students.

Clearly though, this wasn't the main point.
For Wang Ling, the heaviest burden of all was how he was going to face the worst f**king day tomorrow.

From the Wang family's small villa in its mixed urban and rural area, it was ten thousand li to No. 60 High School.
Almost as fast as the wind, Wang Ling ran full steam along country lanes until he arrived at the school gate in under two minutes.

After all, he had once run thirty thousand li to buy crispy noodle snacks when he had been younger.

For him, this distance of ten thousand li was just too relaxing; his face wasn't red, nor was he out of breath.

As today was the first day of school, members of the guidance office along with several school leaders were greeting new students in person at the gate.

Just as Wang Ling was about to turn a corner, he could hear a few people chatting from afar.

"I heard that a new student received a SSS grade yesterday?"
"That's right, Headmaster Chen. The student is called Wang Ling, and has already joined the elite class."
"I see... seems like this student is sure to accomplish much in the future. Is Student Wang Ling a male or female student?" asked Headmaster Chen.
"A male student."

Headmaster Chen's expression was full of regret. "Ah, male students nowadays are already very perceptive. If this Student Wang Ling had been a girl, I wouldn't have mind calling her to my office to personally instruct her in her learning."
