Chapter 20: What a Genius
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Fenghua, is this a good idea? That is the 15th time the teachers are casting strange looks at us,” asked Luo Enen softly. It was her first time doing something like this and she felt guilty.
“What’s wrong? The exercise isn’t over yet,” said Jun Lansheng self-righteously. It was also his first time doing such a deed, but he did not feel bad. Instead, he found it thrilling. He felt even more impressed by what a genius Gu Fenghua was!
They were plundering other students right in front of the teachers. At this distance, both Gu Fenghua’s team and the students coming back from the mountain could see the teachers, so they instinctively let down their guard and did not anticipate an ambush.
“Another team is back. Stop talking and fight.” Gu Fenghua disregarded the strange looks in their teachers’ eyes as she hurried Jun Lansheng and Luo Enen to snatch more tokens.
After Gu Fenghua had robbed dozens of teams, all the students finally returned, so the deputy principal announced that the exercise had come to an end.
The teachers heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally stop feeling annoyed as they watched Gu Fenghua’s team loot the other students. They had certainly remembered who they were.
Gu Fenghua and her team’s actions caused them to make a lot of enemies. This time, she was not alone and had Luo Enen and Jun Lansheng for company.
“They were despicable!”
“Absolutely despicable!”
“It was true that they were despicable, but they were smart. Why didn’t we think of this?”
They were filled with envy.
“Gu Fenghua, I swear to seek vengeance for this! Big Fattie and her roommate are going to get it from me too!”
“Her roommate is called Luo Enen! We must find the chance to get back at them.”
“I won’t forget what you did to us today. Just you wait.”

The victims of their robbery gnashed their teeth in fury.
Gu Fenghua and her team did not care what their opponents thought. They happily watched as the teacher tallied their score. They also ignored the reproving looks of the teachers. However, their teacher became increasingly shocked when he came up with their total score.
“13 200 points.” The teacher opened his mouth in shock as he announced the score in disbelief.
The teachers opened their eyes wide. What a score! It was far better than the team that came in second. Also, it was the highest score in the history of Celestial Academy. More importantly, they manage to have such a shocking result even though the exercise was cut short.
Gu Fenghua’s team undoubtedly came in first. All eyes were on them for their accomplishment and out of vengeance. They had gotten the score after trampling their opponents.
“What’s the prize for coming in first? Is it some treasure, martial arts technique, or a unicorn?” Jun Lansheng rubbed his hand with anticipation.
“Maybe it’s money? There must be a cash reward.” Luo Enen’s eyes glinted.
However, Gu Fenghua had an ominous feeling just thinking about the principal’s dark sense of humor and instantly lost all interest in the prize.
After the freshmen exercise ended, there would be an award ceremony and the mysterious principal would finally appear.
Everyone looked up to Celestial Academy’s principal and held him in high regard.
The man once defended the country’s honor by fighting three formidable foes that were equally reputable when they threatened their national security. Just when everyone thought it would be a tough battle, the principal ended up defeating his enemies overwhelmingly, much to everyone’s shock. No other nations dared to provoke them ever since.
Only then did the world realize that the principal was not what he seemed and was incredibly profound.
Hence, everyone felt excited to see him during the award ceremony. At the thought that he was here to give a prize to Gu Fenghua’s team after they plundered everyone, the students could not help feeling annoyed.
Many people were stunned when they finally saw the principal.
The man simply appeared way too young. In their hearts, the principal had been at the helm of Celestial Academy for years, so he ought to be a bearded, stern elderly man with white hair and an imposing aura.
However, that was not the case! The principal, Ran Hongxue, appeared before them looking young, handsome and had black hair with smiley eyes, so he looked barely past his 30s.
Men were at their prime at 30. The moment the principal smiled, it made the young girls’ hearts palpitate. Some of the female teachers even blushed as they looked at him obsessively. Every single female teacher thought Ran Hongxue was smiling for her alone.
This shameless old geezer! The corner of Gu Fenghua’s lips twitched. 30 years old? Ptooey! He was more like 300 years old!
“Wow. I can’t believe how gorgeous he is,” muttered Luo Enen softly in shock.
“I can’t believe he’s as handsome as me. This is so unfair.” Jun Lansheng pursed his lips.
Oh god. He was so shameless that Gu Fenghua could not help rolling her eyes in her heart.
The award was given out starting from the third prize before they got to the first.
The person who came in third shockingly did it single-handedly.
The young man who came in third was called Ye Wuse. He was tall and had well-chiseled features and was handsome. However, there was a hint of sadness on his face. He smiled without much excitement when he received his prize of a well-crafted sword and a huge cash prize.
The second prize went to an eight-man team and it was two even higher quality swords and lots of money. It was up to their team to decide how to split their winnings.
It made sense that the first prize ought to be three even better swords and money along with some other additional prize since the champions of the exercise usually received an unanticipated reward. Everyone felt certain of it. However, things sometimes did not turn out as people expected.
“Well done. You have the highest score in history, so we will reward you well,” said Ran Hongxue as he smiled at Gu Fenghua and her peers.
Luo Enen looked like there were dollar signs popping from her eyes. Was he going to give them a lot of money?
Jun Lansheng rubbed his hands with anticipation. If it was going to be a very good prize, what could it be? He could not wait to see it.
Instead, Gu Fenghua looked at Ran Hongxue expressionlessly.
People were discussing what the prize could be beneath the stage.
Zhong Wanying stood below the stage without saying a word as she looked at Gu Fenghua standing atop. A young woman beside her said softly, “Gu Fenghua was really lucky to have Luo Enen and Jun Lansheng on her team. She came in number one without moving a muscle. It was simply too easy for her.”
“Stop saying that. Although luck played a part, it still means that she was capable of making them like her,” retorted Zhong Wanying.
