Otherwise, if Ye Ling finds time to enter the Secret Realm again and causes such a big mess like this, Hong Xiu might not even have a place to cry.
“Ahem!”
Mentioning this matter again, Ye Ling coughed to cover his embarrassment.
He felt quite helpless too. With so many demons around, he hadn’t held back, leaving no grass growing wherever his gaze fell.
Then, Hong Xiu reminded him once more.
“Alright, let’s settle this matter. Come to my office tomorrow, and I’ll help you handle the necessary procedures.”
Skipping a grade isn’t something that can be done just like that; some formalities need to be completed.
Ye Ling had no objections since he wouldn’t miss out on anything he deserved.
“No problem, Teacher Hong. Thank you for the trouble.”
Moreover, after reaching the Second Level, Ye Ling would have the opportunity to leave the Academy and go on missions with the teachers.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ling felt very relaxed and happily headed towards his private villa.
Meanwhile, in the office on the other side, Hong Xiu was still troubled by one thing.
To let Ye Ling skip a grade, she naturally needed to inform Ye Ling’s current supervising teacher, Gao Yu.
And this task naturally fell on her as the teaching instructor.
“Sigh!”
She sighed slightly. If it’s meant to be, it will be; if it’s trouble, it can’t be avoided.
Hong Xiu called Gao Yu.
After a while, the call finally connected, and Gao Yu’s voice came from the other side.
“Teacher Hong, is there something you need?”
Gao Yu was currently handling her tasks, feeling quite pleased, so her tone was somewhat cheerful.
But she didn’t know that what Hong Xiu was about to say would make her feel upset.
“Ahem! Well… Gao Yu, here’s the thing. Today, the dean discussed with me about promoting Ye Ling to the second year. Could you help process Ye Ling’s records?”
As she said this, Hong Xiu felt a bit uneasy.
After all, Ye Ling had just enrolled three days ago, and now he was suddenly skipping a grade without any prior notice to the supervising teacher.
Upon hearing this news, Gao Yu, much like Ye Ling earlier, found it hard to believe at first.
Gao Yu, somewhat incredulous, thought Hong Xiu was joking with her, and her tone was slightly displeased.
“Teacher Hong, are you kidding me? Ye Ling just enrolled a few days ago, and now he’s skipping a grade? Are you sure?”
Being the first teacher in Vermilion Bird Academy’s history to supervise a male student, Gao Yu felt it was quite an achievement.
But now, with Hong Xiu suddenly telling her that Ye Ling was skipping a grade, any teacher would find it hard to believe.
It was unprecedented for someone to skip a grade just a few days after enrolling.
“Gao Yu, I’m really not joking with you. I have no choice; the dean personally asked me to do this, so please help with the process.”
At times like this, it’s safest to attribute the responsibility to the dean, to avoid Gao Yu coming back to complain later.
And indeed, the proposal for Ye Ling to skip a grade wasn’t initiated by Hong Xiu; it was the dean’s idea.
So Hong Xiu had no issue saying this.
Hearing Hong Xiu’s firm tone, Gao Yu finally understood that she wasn’t joking but was serious.
Since the proposal came from the dean, as the supervising teacher, she couldn’t possibly object.
Her previously cheerful mood instantly plummeted, and with a face full of gloom, Gao Yu weakly replied over the phone.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll sort out Ye Ling’s records later. Sigh! I haven’t even settled into my role as the first supervising teacher of a male student, and now it’s over.”
Regarding Ye Ling’s sudden departure, Gao Yu could only sigh.
What’s meant to be will always be, and what’s not meant to be can’t be forced to stay.
Hearing Gao Yu agree, Hong Xiu smiled.
“Great! Then I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll come by tomorrow to pick up the records.”
With that, Hong Xiu hung up the phone.
If she didn’t hang up now, would she wait for Gao Yu to complain to her over the phone?
That would just be looking for trouble.
Seeing the call ended, Gao Yu was extremely frustrated.
Her heart felt heavy, and her previously good mood was completely ruined.
With a bitter expression, she began organizing Ye Ling’s records. If someone were nearby, they would hear Gao Yu muttering to herself while sorting the records.
“Annoying Hong Xiu! Promoting Ye Ling to the second year! The only boy in the class is gone just like that! No, the only boy in the Academy is leaving my class just like that!…”
She could only complain quietly; what else could she do?
The dean had already made the decision, and she had no right to oppose it, nor did she dare to.
Compared to Gao Yu, who was miserably doing her work, Ye Ling returned home in high spirits.
