Chapter 18: ART.
Hua Rong placed the paper on the desk with a determined thud. "So, basically, if I earn enough points, I can leave this place before my mama comes back!" She declared.
Across from her, Lin Zeyan and Bai Xinchen leaned in to examine the paper.
Lin Zeyan arched an eyebrow. "Did you even read this?"
"Nope," Hua Rong admitted without shame.
Lin Zeyan sighed and picked up the paper. He scanned the contents before reading it aloud. "For a maximum of 20,000 points—achieve the highest rank in the academy's tests."
He glanced at Hua Rong, who already looked unimpressed. "And for an even bigger reward—40,000 points—win against another school as the solo representative of Blackthorn Academy. But..." He paused dramatically. "The school will be chosen by this academy."
Hua Rong's eyes twitched. "That sounds suspicious."
Lin Zeyan continued. "And for the ultimate reward... 50,00 points per day—become the captain of this academy and take full responsibility for managing it."
Hua Rong didn't hesitate. "Cut that one!"
"Good choice," Bai Xinchen smirked, arms crossed. "Hua Rong, there's no way you can control all of us."
Hua Rong scowled. The way he said it felt unnecessarily personal. But... he wasn't wrong. Herding a pack of delinquents was probably worse than being stuck here in the first place.
