7 Cosmic Tuition Class

The next morning.

Mo Xiu sat in his seat and listened to Zheng Yi brag.

The entire class surrounded the two of them and asked them about yesterday's incident.

"Brother Zheng, I heard that you guys defeated an adult beast yesterday?"

Zheng Yi sat at the table with his chin high. "Of course. Didn't you see how strong your Brother Zheng and Brother Mo were? We easily beat up the Demonic Eagle and made it kneel and beg for mercy."

Mo Xiu covered his head and didn't want to continue listening. How was it easy? Zheng Yi had reached the time limit of his skill yesterday. If not for everyone's support, he might still be lying in the hospital.

Zheng Yi's speech became more and more intense. It could be said that he had been bragging from the beginning to the end. He said that he had a plan the moment the Demonic Eagle appeared, and that he knew what the Demonic Eagle's next move would be the moment it appeared.

Initially, Mo Xiu had wanted to ignore him, but he couldn't stop this fellow from patting Mo Xiu and saying, "Am I right, Mo Xiu?"

Mo Xiu could only brace himself and reply, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right."

This passionate speech ended with their form teacher Gao Quan entering the classroom.

Just like before, Gao Quan said some words of encouragement to everyone before letting them go for self-study.

Before he left, he even called Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi's attitude after being called out was as though he was saying, "Look, everything I said is true. Even the teachers have to look for me to understand the situation."

The two of them followed Gao Quan to his office. After Gao Quan sat down, he pointed to the seats behind them and said, "Have a seat."

"I called you guys here today to tell you guys that we've been investigating for the entire night without any progress. We can't confirm the origin of the Demonic Eagle."

Mo Xiu nodded. He and Zheng Yi were involved in this matter, so the school had to tell them the truth.

"Also, the school unanimously decided to praise both of you in front of the whole school. They are also trying their best to help you earn extra points for your college entrance examination."

At the mention of bonus points for the college entrance examination, Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi's eyes lit up. Zheng Yi couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, how many points can you give us?"

Gao Quan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet, but since I've already told you about it, you don't have to worry."

Mo Xiu was also a little excited. He had originally thought that it was just an accident, and they would at most be praised by the entire school. He hadn't expected that there would be such a thing as bonus points for the college entrance examination.

Gao Quan continued, "Also, if there's any progress in the investigation of the Demonic Eagle incident, I'll let you know."

The two of them said simultaneously, "Thank you, Teacher."

Gao Quan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. The two of you fought for all of this."

"Zheng Yi, you can go back first. Mo Xiu, stay behind."

Both of them stood up at the same time. When they heard Gao Quan asking Mo Xiu to stay, he sat back down.

Mo Xiu didn't understand what Gao Quan meant. Why did he want only Mo Xiu to stay behind?

After Zheng Yi left, Gao Quan's serious expression changed. Then, he said playfully, "Mo Xiu, you're really something. I didn't expect to be able to come into contact with someone of Elder Tang's level."

Mo Xiu was confused. "Elder Tang?"

Gao Quan leaned back in his chair and said, "Alright, stop pretending. It was Elder Tang who asked me to talk to you. He even recommended that you join the Cosmic Tuition Class. Why are you pretending?"

Mo Xiu was even more puzzled. What was going on?

"Teacher Gao, did you find the wrong person? I don't know Elder Tang at all, and I've never heard of any Cosmic Tuition Class. If this involves confidential information, I won't tell anyone."

To Mo Xiu, Gao Quan must have looked for the wrong person. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to not understand anything.

Gao Quan fell silent after hearing what Mo Xiu said, as if he was thinking about something.

"Um… Teacher, can I leave now?"

"Don't go. I didn't look for the wrong person. Since you don't know the details, let me give you an introduction."

Mo Xiu nodded.

"It doesn't matter if you know Elder Tang or not. This chance to enter the Cosmic Tuition Class is very rare. I know you must not have heard of the Cosmic Tuition Class, but you must have heard of the Shadows."

Mo Xiu's eyes lit up. The Shadows were familiar to everyone. They were part of an organization that belonged to the Alliance but was not restricted by the Alliance. They were something many people yearned for.

The Shadows were like secret enforcers. Usually, they were free to choose whether they would accept missions or not. The Shadows would only be gathered when the Alliance needed them to carry out some important missions. Even so, the Shadows could refuse the missions.

This was equivalent to having status and money, but they also had the freedom of time. As long as one did not want to, it was possible not to accept even a single mission.

"I know about the Shadows. What does this Tuition Class have to do with the Shadows?"

"If you graduate from the Cosmic Tuition Class, there is a high chance that you will directly become a Shadow."

Mo Xiu was shocked. After all, the selection for Shadows was very strict. Only those who entered university could register for the Shadow selection. Furthermore, the minimum requirement to register was to have two skills.

The Cosmic Tuition Class sounded more like a special training camp before the college entrance examination.

"Teacher, I only have one skill. Can I really become Shadow in advance?"

Gao Quan looked deeply at Mo Xiu and said, "Sure, as long as you can graduate from the Tuition Class successfully."

"Understood."

"Are you going to participate?"

"Yes!"

Although it was rather baffling, Mo Xiu didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"Alright. Give a call to your family and let them know that you are attending the Tuition Class for ten days, starting from tonight. In other words, you will be away until the day before the college entrance examination."

"Ah? Is it so sudden?"

Even Mo Xiu couldn't remain calm. Wasn't this too hasty? Was he going to leave today and only return the day before the college entrance examination?

"Is there a problem?"

"No! No, but… I have a question."

"What question?"

"Who is Elder Tang? I don't know him. Why did he recommend that I attend the Cosmic Tuition Class?"

After a moment of silence, Gao Quan said, "Since he doesn't want you to know, don't ask. You'll meet him sooner or later."

"I got it. I'll get going now."

"Okay, sure. By the way, you can't tell anyone about this, including your family. Tell everyone that you were sent to another city as an exchange student."

Mo Xiu increasingly felt that this Cosmic Tuition Tlass was not simple. However, as his form teacher, Gao Quan had no need to lie to him.

"Understood…"

After returning to the classroom, it was lunchtime. Zheng Yi asked Mo Xiu and Gao Quan what Gao Quan had told them.

Mo Xiu also told Zheng Yi what Gao Quan said about being an exchange student.

"Impressive, bro. This is the first time I've heard of an exchange student. Which city and school are you going to?"

Mo Xiu gave Zheng Yi a knowing look and replied, "Don't you know which school I'm going to?"

Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Oh… Yes, I know."

Mo Xiu had already taken a few steps away, but Zheng Yi was still muttering to himself.

"Which school is it?"

Mo Xiu had said this on purpose. With Zheng Yi's personality, he would definitely pretend to know and only ask Mo Xiu if he couldn't think of the answer in the future.

What would Mo Xiu do when Zheng Yi reacted? At that time, Mo Xiu would have gone to the Cosmic Tuition Class.

As the training grounds were undergoing maintenance, there was no way to train in the afternoon, so Mo Xiu could go home and pack his luggage.

After splitting up with Zheng Yi, Mo Xiu had just walked out of the school gates when he was stopped by a girl.

"Hello, Senior Mo. May I disturb you?"

"Who are you?"

"Ah! My name is Ye Qian'er. You saved me yesterday. Thanks to you, I only suffered some light injuries."

Mo Xiu slapped his head. It turned out that she was the girl who was captured by the Demonic Eagle yesterday. It was no wonder that she looked familiar.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Ye Qian'er placed her hands behind her back and lowered her head, not daring to look at Mo Xiu.

Seeing that Ye Qian'er did not respond, Mo Xiu asked again.

"May I know why you're looking for me?"

When Ye Qian'er heard Mo Xiu's words, she seemed to have been jolted awake. Her whole body trembled and she stretched out the hand behind her back.

She was holding a paper bag in her hand, and she hurriedly threw it to Mo Xiu.

"Thank you, senior. This is for you."

Then, she turned around and ran off…
