Chapter 225 – Happiness is built on the suffering of others


Here’s the translation:

Although that’s what was said, having just met at the start of the semester and now having to switch classes so soon, it felt a bit awkward.

Then, Hong Xiu suddenly remembered something and continued to nag.

“Oh right, Ye Ling, regarding your early promotion, all the corresponding resource subsidies have been converted into credit points and transferred to your card.

The number of times you can enter the Secret Realm is the same. This year, you can enter twice a month.

But let me remind you once again, do not, under any circumstances, cause the Secret Realm to end up like last time, or the compensation fees will be quite hefty.”

At the end, Hong Xiu specifically emphasized the matter about the Secret Realm.

It had been a long time since someone like Ye Ling, who caused large-scale destruction in the Secret Realm, had appeared.

The last person who did that, who knows how many years ago it was, but they ended up paying quite a bit.

Ye Ling was truly lucky to have avoided compensation.

Speaking of this, Ye Ling felt helpless too. It was his first time entering the Secret Realm, and he had no idea about the rules inside.

He had simply treated it as a training paradise, never considering the consequences.

Afterward, the two headed to Gao Yu’s office.

Gao Yu, who was about to leave work yesterday, received a call from Hong Xiu at the last minute and had no choice but to organize Ye Ling’s related documents.

Sitting in the office, Gao Yu looked unhappily at the documents in front of him.

A teacher from another office noticed and was naturally curious about what had happened to make Gao Yu look so downcast.

“Mr. Gao, what’s wrong? You know, the only male student in our Academy’s history is in your class. What could possibly make you unhappy?”

The teacher was half-teasing, half-inquiring.

Hearing this, Gao Yu turned to look at the other teacher and then sighed deeply.

“Sigh!”

His dejected appearance made the other teacher even more curious.

“Come on, Mr. Gao, just tell me what’s going on. Maybe it’ll cheer me up.”

This comment finally broke Gao Yu’s composure.

Goodness!

Is your happiness built on my misery? How could you say something so outrageous!

With an embarrassed look, Gao Yu rolled his eyes at the other teacher before responding.

“What else could it be? It’s exactly what you just mentioned, the Academy’s first-ever male student.

He’s been here for less than a week, and now the dean wants me to promote him to the second year. How can I be happy about that?”

Upon learning the real reason, the teacher was taken aback, never expecting it to be something like this.

She was also a teacher in the Vermilion Bird Class. The Vermilion Bird Academy didn’t have just one Vermilion Bird Class; there were several.

After all, the Vermilion Bird Academy recruited from the entire Federation, and there were naturally many outstanding students.

Initially, she was a bit envious that Gao Yu’s class had the only male student in the Vermilion Bird Academy.

But now, she couldn’t envy him anymore because Ye Ling was skipping a grade.

This student was about to move to the second year, which had little to do with Gao Yu.

She had also reviewed Ye Ling’s information upon his admission and knew very well that he was an exceptional student.

No matter which class he went to, he would definitely be valued.

“Alright, just let it go. What’s meant to be yours will be yours, and what’s not, you can’t force it.”

As she said this, the teacher had a somewhat gloating expression.

Ye Ling was a student that all the teachers in the Vermilion Bird Class wanted, but he ended up in Gao Yu’s class.

Now that Ye Ling was leaving, couldn’t they at least enjoy a bit of schadenfreude?

Gao Yu sighed helplessly. She really wanted to keep Ye Ling, but he truly wasn’t suited to stay in the first year.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hearing the knock, Gao Yu looked even more dejected, guessing that it must be Hong Xiu bringing Ye Ling.

“Click!”

When the door opened, it was just as Gao Yu had expected.

“You’re here.”

Seeing Ye Ling and Hong Xiu walk in, Gao Yu said weakly.

Hong Xiu had anticipated Gao Yu’s current state completely.

No matter how you looked at it, Ye Ling was undoubtedly the top student in the class, and now he was inexplicably slipping away from Gao Yu’s grasp. How could she be happy about that?

Hong Xiu smiled and walked over to Gao Yu.

“Why so glum? Is it necessary? What’s not yours will never be yours, no matter how hard you try to keep it.”

Her words were eerily similar to what the previous teacher had said, making Gao Yu’s expression even more resentful.

Even though she was already unhappy, they still insisted on rubbing salt in her wounds. How cruel!

“Hmph! Here you go! I’ve organized all of Ye Ling’s documents. Along with what you have, just report to the second-year Vermilion Bird Class teacher.”

With that, Gao Yu, looking displeased, tossed the documents to Hong Xiu.
