Chapter 695: Chapter 625: The Interview_2

"Is there any fee for the interview?"

Cecilia laughed, "No."

Qiao Sang asked cautiously, "Then, is there any additional fee required if I pass the interview?"

At the corner of Cecilia’s mouth twitched, "No, we don’t charge any fees."

No charge, seems like it’s true... Qiao Sang paused, then tentatively asked:

"Can I have the interview now? Right here?"

Having listened to their conversation, these two didn’t seem like scammers, but she couldn’t fully trust them yet. What if they planned to lure her to some secluded place, claiming it was for an interview, but in reality, they intended to kidnap her?

For safety reasons, the venue would be here at Sainan High School, the time would be now, with the homeroom teacher nearby. The safety factor would greatly increase, and she wouldn’t be afraid of any unexpected moves from them...

Cecilia immediately said, "Of course!"

Then, she turned her head to Mu Deli and asked politely:

"May we borrow your office for a bit?"

"No problem." Having said that, Mu Deli gave Qiao Sang a complex look, stepped out, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

Is the homeroom teacher really okay with me staying with two strangers... It seems she doesn’t doubt their identities at all... But once the homeroom teacher left, that feeling of safety... Suddenly Qiao Sang thought of something, formed a hand seal, and summoned Yaobao, who was in training.

"Ya Ya?"

Yaobao, having suddenly changed location, couldn’t help but tilt its head.

Qiao Sang picked up Yaobao.

Yes, this feels much safer...

Seeing this, Cecilia and Sommer exchanged a smile and then sat down on a couch to one side.

Qiao Sang moved a chair and sat down in front of them.

"The interview is very simple, we’ll just ask a few questions," said Cecilia.

This was of course an untrue statement. No matter which top educational institution it was, the interview was the most important stage. It was in these responses that one could discern whether a person was merely a facade, whether there was a discrepancy with what was written on their records, and to gain a comprehensive understanding of the applicant’s background and personality.

However, for applicants like Qiao Sang who were not applying based on academic performance, the interview would just involve some basic questions.

"Can you introduce yourself?" Cecilia asked.

Uh, this question, it has the feel of an interview... Qiao Sang responded effortlessly:

"My name is Qiao Sang, 16 years old, attending Shengshui Middle School. During the first half of my junior year, I won the senior division competition in the national campus Beast Taming league and came to Chao Su Star’s Sainan High School as an exchange student in the senior division."

"My brain domain autonomously awakened, and it has now developed to 39%. I have four Pet Beasts: a Liaoxing Dog, a Ghost Ring Wraith, Bingke Xilu, and a Steel Guard Sparrowhawk."

Sommer nodded slightly and asked:

"Do you have any plans?"

"To work hard to evolve the Liaoxing Dog after the college entrance exam is over," Qiao Sang said.

"Ya!"

Yaobao puffed out its chest and made a sound, signifying that yes, it was the one to evolve.

The room was quiet for three seconds.

"That’s it?" Sommer asked in surprise.

Qiao Sang nodded, "That’s it."

"Then do you have any dreams?" Sommer asked after a pause.

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang said:

"I want to take part in The Interstellar Cup."

Many applicants and students stated this dream during their interviews; Cecilia and Sommer were not surprised.

"Are you interested in research work?" asked Cecilia.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Sang said:

"I am, but I won’t spend a lot of time on it."

...

Meanwhile, as Qiao Sang’s interview was underway, the principal of Sainan High School sat in the principal’s office, frowning during a video call:

"Qiao Sang’s application wasn’t approved?"

The blond man with glasses on the other end of the video answered indifferently:

"A divergence of opinion has arisen. Our investigation into Qiao Sang’s academic performance uncovered that a minority believes, regardless of how high the Beast Taming Talent might be, the cultural scores should at least reach the average. They recommend that Qiao Sang spends another year in high school and to re-interview next year, holding onto the recommendation letter."

The principal snorted coldly and said:

"Next year? Do you know that people from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy came to interview Qiao Sang today?"

The blond man was taken aback, a surprised look crossing his face:

"How could it be, Qiao Sang’s academic scores..."

The principal cut him off: "It’s precisely because some of the academically oriented among you are too rigid, that’s why you are third, and others are second!"

In fact, this was somewhat unfair to Yuliandun University.

The recommendation letter sent to Yuliandun University and the Imperial Beastmaster Academy were not completely the same.

The recommendation letter to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy included an extra note about Qiao Sang’s participation in the research and successful evolution of the Fire-Toothed Dog into the Flame Listening Dog.

The blond man pondered for a moment and said:

"There might have been some problem, I will report this matter."

After speaking, the video call ended.

...

In the homeroom teacher’s office.

Cecilia said:

"One last question, have you applied to other top-ranking institutions besides us?"

Qiao Sang looked at her with a strange expression:

"I haven’t applied to your school."

Cecilia: "..."

"Don’t you like our school?" Sommer asked from the side.

It’s not that, I never even considered I could get into something like the Imperial Beastmaster Academy... Qiao Sang shook her head: "No."

Upon hearing her response, Sommer smiled and said:

"As a person from Blue Star, you should know that there is no better top-ranking institution on Blue Star than our Imperial Beastmaster Academy."

Of course, I know that; otherwise, I wouldn’t have considered this school at all... Qiao Sang complained in her mind while nodding on the surface:

"I know."

"Then, besides our school, have you applied to any other top-ranking institutions?" Cecilia asked.

"Yes, Zhongkong University," Qiao Sang paused before adding, "and Yuliandun University."
