Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 102: Matsusaka Shigeki’s New Move

After laying down a strong hand, Zhou Xiaoyu did not mention anything about hoping Qin Chuan would join Yan University. Instead, she suddenly brought up another matter.

"In today's evaluation, we temporarily graded the candidates we're interested in."

"In the next evaluation, we will refer to these provisional grades to determine the candidates' final grades, which will also be your last assessment before the college entrance exams."

"There are four grades: S, A, B, and C, each with three sub-grades."

"Being temporarily graded as C means that you're within observation range. In the next evaluation, you can receive more attention and scrutiny, but if the final grade remains at C level, there will be no preferential treatment during college admission."

"Being temporarily graded as B means increased attention and the final grade will not be lower than 'B-'." Zhou Xiaoyu paused, "'B-', 'B' and 'B+' sub-grades correspond to preferential treatments such as reduced admission scores, one tier reduction, and two tier reduction respectively."

"Being temporarily graded as A follows the same principle. A final grade of 'A-' allows for three tier reduction, a final grade of 'A' is direct admission, and if the final grade is 'A+'..." Zhou Xiaoyu paused again, "in addition to direct admission, a substantial scholarship is added."

"What about S level then?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be curious.

An A level could already guarantee admission and even a scholarship.

How exceptional would S level be then?

"S level?" Zhou Xiaoyu smiled, "S level is also direct admission, but the reward is not scholarship, it is resources."

"You should know that the Special Affairs Group had gathered the strength of many to create over a hundred Official Level Players long ago, even before there were weekly settlement rewards."

"An S level from Yan University will receive transcendent resources and full support in many aspects." Zhou Xiaoyu spoke softly, "Each of them will receive treatment no less than that of the first batch of Official Level Players in the Special Affairs Group."

"That's why the criteria for S level are extremely strict, and there are very few spots."

"I see." Qin Chuan nodded, then couldn't resist asking, "Can you reveal my provisional grade from Yan University?"

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled slightly.

"A+."

-----------------

Until the end of their conversation, Zhou Xiaoyu had not uttered any direct invitation for Qin Chuan to attend Yan University, as if this had been nothing more than a casual chat.

However, the substantial amount of information had Qin Chuan feeling dazed all the way back to his rental until he settled in.

This is Yan University.

One of the top two universities in Yanhuang Country.

Even though Zhou Zixiu had told him after the first evaluation that if he maintained his performance, he could hope for direct admission to Yan University or Huaqing, when Zhou Xiaoyu was actually standing in front of him, he still felt an unreal sensation.

Being graded as A meant that at a minimum he would receive a final grade of 'A-' in the third practical assessment, and the worst-case scenario would be admission with a three tier reduction.

He could firmly achieve this score.

So for him, Yan University was within easy reach.

According to Zhou Xiaoyu, Huaqing's grade for him would likely be A as well, which meant that it wouldn't be long before an observer from Huaqing would also approach him.

At that time, Qin Chuan would be able to compare the advantages and disadvantages of both options on his own.

That being said, Qin Chuan's mind had already been leaning towards one of the choices when he heard that Ji Huai was going to teach at Yan University.

After thinking it over, Qin Chuan picked up his phone and dialed Xiao Pang's number.

When Zhou Xiaoyu had approached him, Xiao Pang had immediately said he had to rush home because of a family matter while also recommending the coffee shop where they had chatted.

This made Qin Chuan feel that he needed to share the good news with Xiao Pang.

Also, he wanted to inquire what exactly Xiao Pang had done during the practical assessment.

The call connected quickly, and Xiao Pang's anxious voice came from the other end, "What did they say? Is Yan University offering you direct admission?"

"Um..." Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, "Pretty much, I can go there if I want."

"Wow—" Xiao Pang couldn't help but gasp, his expression almost distorted over the phone, both proud and envious, "That's Yan University!"

He suddenly realized what it meant to "fear for one's brothers' hardships, yet envy them driving Land Rovers."

"You ranked first in the Apprentice Level; surely some good universities will take notice of you too." Qin Chuan reassured with a smile and then suddenly asked, "So, what happened during your assessment?"

"Well..." Xiao Pang scratched his head, "I charged into the demon beast horde wearing the Stone Armor and fought them hand to hand, scaring my teammates out of their wits."

He didn't see it as particularly dangerous and couldn't help laughing at the thought of his teammates' reactions at the time.

But Qin Chuan on the other end of the phone fell silent.

The Stone Armor was Xiao Pang's skill that encased him in rock.

Indeed, that skill greatly enhanced Xiao Pang's defense, but the demon beasts he faced were similarly formidable in that regard.

It was bound to be a fierce battle.

At this moment, Qin Chuan understood why Xiao Pang was bandaged up and wearing a fresh set of clothes.

"I was up front taking the hits, and all my teammates had to do was hang back and dish out ranged attacks. It was not only safe but also efficient," Xiao Pang still sounded cheerful over the phone. "They never realized I was a K-head freak!"

"Most of the demon beasts' last hits were landed by me. How could my points not be high?"

"You deserve it," Qin Chuan said softly.

Xiao Pang noticed Qin Chuan's unusual mood and quickly realized why.

"Don't worry, I'm okay," Xiao Pang pursed his lips, "I'm being smart about it. The moment I couldn't hold on anymore, I immediately pressed the signal transmitter, not staying a second longer than necessary."

"I had to try my luck; what if I got some low-level resources? And I succeeded!" Xiao Pang chuckled gleefully, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Qin Chuan, after one more weekly settlement, I'll be an Official Level Player too!"

"I heard there's another practical assessment coming up; you and I will stand side by side in battle once again!"

Qin Chuan fell silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Never mind that," Xiao Pang raised an eyebrow, quickly changing the subject, "Qin Chuan, I've discovered something big."

"What is it?"

"Matsusaka Shigeki didn't kill any other players today!" A gossipy look flashed in Xiao Pang's eyes, "Moreover, he switched areas again."

"Your topic change is a bit abrupt," Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, "Forget that guy; you're still injured, so get some rest early."

After responding, Qin Chuan hung up the phone and logged into the Dream Realm Forum.

Searching for keywords, he soon found the latest discussions about Matsusaka Shigeki.

To Qin Chuan's surprise, Matsusaka Shigeki not only hadn't killed any other players, but he also hadn't attacked when encountering them the previous night.

After moving from area 6231 to 6232 just a few days ago, his name disappeared from the ranking list of area 6232 last night, reappearing on the ranking list of area 6132.
