“That’s right, that’s it! So this is my younger brother, and the situation is a little special.”
“Are you Sure you have a corresponding training plan??”
Qiu Yiming sat upright on the sofa in a rare moment, also sitting on the armrest on the side, with a candy in his arms, was a little guy with a nervous face.
[Oh, this is– the legendary admissions office vying for students!! As expected of you, dear Host!!]
The system on the side looked at this scene and couldn’t help but praise its young host.
“But… I feel that the teacher doesn’t seem to be very satisfied with me?”
And Qiu Qiu sensitively hugged some of the candy stuffed by his second brother, and quietly raised his eyes to look at the two teachers on the other side.
At this moment, the two directors of the admissions office had strange expressions.
Emperor Star First Academy and Claris Academy can be said to be the two most famous academic learning institutions on Emperor Star.
The former is an official college established directly by the imperial finance, with ample funding and a strong foundation.
The latter was a private aristocratic academy established tens of thousands of years ago by Claris, a famous university scholar of the elves, with private funds during the interstellar wars.
Unlike the comprehensive development of the first academy from the junior to the senior department, Claris Academy has always been focused on higher education, which also led to the development of the kindergarten, that is, the junior department, lagging by half a beat.
Since the students enrolled have never been able to compete with the first academy, it turned to enrolling herbivorous cubs.
So at this moment, not only Qiu Yiming, but also Qi Chongshan on the side looked at the two teachers in charge of the admissions office in front of him, whose thoughts were entangled and wandering.
The matter of the cub going to school is really a big thing that annoys beasts.
Although he had already decided to try out Claris Academy after discussing it with the eldest brother, after all, as a beast, he was obviously more optimistic about the first academy.
It is said that there are also some descendants of Claris in the academy who hide their elven bloodline. In short, it is an academy with an air of art and elegance.
I can’t understand the so-called elegance and art anyway.
It’s just my cub…
Qiu Chongshan held his cheeks with a sad expression, always feeling that what he liked might not be liked by his cub.
“This, so the young master’s beast type is…?”
In the silence, the department head of the first academy on the side couldn’t help but ask out loud after hesitating for a long time, breaking the silence.
After all, how can you not see it yet fail to guess the beast type!?
The most terrifying thing is that this appearance and personality look like a beautiful herbivorous cub with no offensive power…
But the key is that the first academy has never recruited a herbivorous cub in its history!!
Regarding this inquiry from the admissions director of the First Academy, Qiu Yiming frowned slightly with his legs crossed, obviously aware of the implications behind it.
But since it was his younger brother who would choose the school, Qiu Yiming did not speak out in a hurry at first; he just looked at his younger brother, who was obviously a little nervous.
[Dear Host, don’t be afraid, answer boldly! Just think of it as an entrance interview!]
Looking at this scene in front of him, the system also worked hard to cheer him up.
“Okay, teacher… I, I seem to be a little bird, but the breed is undetermined.”
In the face of the admissions director’s inquiry, Qiu Qiu glanced at his father and brother, then silently hugged the candy and answered gently.
I wasn’t ready yet, and I didn’t even grow scales.
Just like that, I met the teacher directly… Will I be disliked and then drop out?
…?
A little bird??
For this unexpected answer, the admissions director of the First Academy fell silent in an instant.
This is the worst! They didn’t even do a background check before going to grab people… I thought those online rumors were just baseless gossip!!
After all, given the Prince’s residence’s reputation, who would’ve expected an actual herbivore!?
The only thing they considered was whether this carnivorous cub’s temperament would be too ferocious and whether it would cause harm to his classmates.
“May I ask what you mean by a ‘little bird’… is it a goshawk? Or a giant eagle??”
Adjusting his glasses, First Academy’s director cautiously pressed for clarification.
Perhaps “little bird” was just a modest way of putting it???
“No, just a little bird. A golden one.” Not a goshawk, nor an eagle…
Looking slightly dejected, Qiu Qiu nevertheless tugged at his little robe and answered earnestly.
Golden… with soft, fluffy feathers, and seven particularly beautiful golden tail feathers.
But his voice grew quieter as he noticed the teachers’ stunned expressions.
They… didn’t seem very interested.
Meanwhile, two figures observed the scene from the staircase.
[Holy shit, what’s wrong with First Academy??? Weren’t they the ones who came rushing over to recruit him?? Why do I suddenly sense their enthusiasm plummeting!?]
This is my master, dammit—Ortnes the Red Dragon’s master!!
Back then, First Academy begged on their knees for me, and I still refused!!!
Perched on the carved railing, Jin Lin watched silently, his black tail flicking with cold indifference.
“And what exactly is this supposed to mean?”
Even Qiu Chongshan suddenly straightened his body[mfn]originally in English[/mfn] and turned his gaze toward the admissions director from the First Academy. The entire row of admissions assistants behind the director also felt an inexplicable chill run down their backs.
“Ah, apologies, Your Highness! We—we were just considering, uh… how well the young master fits into the academy’s training program…”
Under Qiu Chongshan’s piercing gaze, even the director—a fellow beast of the same carnivorous breed—felt a flicker of tension, stumbling over his words as he hurried to explain.
“However… this seems to require approval from higher authorities. Please grant me some time—I’ll need to discuss the details with the headmaster.”
After all, appointing a seemingly harmless herbivore cub as the admissions ambassador… and even having it deliver the freshman keynote speech—this kind of thing!
Good heavens, for the First Academy with its tens of thousands of years of tradition, this is simply inconceivable.
This is not something I can decide at my discretion—It’s clearly beyond my authority!!
What if this leads to serious consequences?
“Tch—”
Hearing this, Qiu Yiming directly kicked the carved tea table, instantly making the entire group retreat half a step back.
Tch, if you don’t want to recruit students, then just say so straight out! Why beat around the bush with this ‘not enough authority’ nonsense? Weren’t you full of big talk when you came swooping in to poach students earlier!?
If only my younger brother weren’t present… I’d really like to teach them a lesson with my fists…
Wait, no—I’d promised little brother I would become a beast that understands courtesy and cherishes civility.
Just after Qiu Yiming clenched his fists in anger, he quickly calmed down—
Damn, fuck being polite.
“What’s all this about contacting the headmaster? Isn’t the headmaster just that old codger Komodar?? Last week, he came running to me, demanding our combat division to…”
“B-Brother!”
Just as Qiu Yiming—already in his restless phase—had nearly scared everyone opposite him into revealing their beastly traits, little Qiu Qiu suddenly took flight from the armrest and grabbed his older brother’s sleeve.
Amethyst eyes clearly brimmed with worry.
“…Tsk, fine.”
Qiu Yiming looked at the little guy who was tightly grabbing the corner of his clothes, finally calmed his temper, and sat down, but his face was still dark.
At the moment when Qiu Chonshan was also about to speak, the representative of Claris Academy, who had been observing from the sidelines, spoke.
“Young master, we of the Claris Academy still very much welcome you to enroll with us. We have always appreciated smart and polite little cubs.”
In an instant, Qiu Qiu, who was still tugging at his brother’s clothes, heard the suddenly appearing voice and looked back with flushed cheeks.
Even the admissions team of the First Academy glanced over strangely.
No way, does that mean that for the sake of the Prince’s Residence, Claris really plans to recruit?? Doesn’t that mean that the enrollment will extend to carnivorous students this year??
“Really, is that true? Can I really go to school…”
Qiu Qiu also stammered and asked gently, but the milky golden wings flapped several times without being able to hide.
“Of course! And we still hope that you could become our admissions ambassador this time.”
“Truthfully, Claris Academy wants to establish a comprehensive education school that cultivates both herbivorous and carnivorous cubs starting this year as intended by our new headmaster.”
“There are also many related supporting training measures, in addition to the theoretical knowledge learned in the main class, we have also established a variety of secondary classes, such as cub field adventure, cub concert…”
Claris’s admissions director explained seriously, without the agitation of being preempted in the beginning, and very calmly told the detailed training plan, which made the whole family fall into contemplation.
But as Qiu Qiu on the side listened, his moist eyes grew brighter with a shine, and he was so engrossed that he even forgot to flap his little wings.
Qiu Chongshn and Qiu Yiming naturally noticed the little guy’s expression promptly, and after looking at each other, quickly came to a conclusion on which to choose.
As long as the little one likes it, it is naturally the most suitable.
Although the dog thing[mfn]*derogatory description[/mfn] that is the First Academy is really unpleasant to the beast.
“Moreover, our headmaster will definitely like you very much, young master.”
At last, Claris’s director looked at the little guy on the side with a smile and added lightly.
…Headmaster?
Qiu Qiu blinked his eyes and carefully held his admission letter, but the little expectations in his eyes became increasingly pronounced.
