006 Chicken Soup

```

Lu Wu had no idea he was being noticed.

He didn't have time to pay attention to those things right now. Whether it was due to the influence of his past memories or his own interest in becoming a Professional Summoner,

his mind was now fully occupied with the thought of getting into Summoner University.

It was precisely because his mind was so focused on this that Lu Wu was very aware that time was running out for him.

After the Summoning Ceremony, the summer vacation would begin in a few days.

After summer vacation, he would enter his senior year of high school, the critical year for preparing to get into Summoner University.

Class divisions were also approaching!

Every year after the summer vacation, the school would first conduct a whole-school test that included cultural subjects and evaluations of Summoned Beasts.

The test results determined the class division for the senior year.

By then, the senior year would be divided into key classes and ordinary classes.

The key classes focused entirely on preparing for Summoner University, while students in the ordinary classes were basically given up on getting into Summoner University.

If Lu Wu wanted to get into Summoner University, he had to get into the key class first.

After all, the resources the school devoted to the two classes were completely different. The ordinary class basically had no courses related to Summoners.

In other words, Lu Wu had to improve his cultural subjects and enhance the quality of his Little Skeleton before the end of summer vacation.

Under these circumstances, how could Lu Wu slack off?

He used all of his available time and energy.

For this reason, he brought all his first-year textbooks today and started crazily studying.

As for the classes, he didn't attend them. He knew his own level; it was more efficient for him to self-study than to attend the second-year classes that he couldn't understand.

As it turned out, Lu Wu was right.

With his eidetic memory, Lu Wu's self-study efficiency was exceptionally high.

He could remember things after just one read-through. Moreover, the past-life memories relevant to the knowledge popped up as he studied.

With the help of past-life memories, Lu Wu's study efficiency was impressive.

In one morning, he had gone through a quarter of his first-year textbooks. Although his head hurt from over-using his brain, Lu Wu was still very happy. At this pace, he could catch up in two or three days, which was quite astonishing.

As Lu Wu was feeling pleased, Pang Duddu next to him nudged him.

"Lu Wu, Teacher Li wants you to go to the office."

Lu Wu was taken aback, then realized it must be for some trouble left by his past self. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take his Little Skeleton to the office.

Outside Li Chun's office.

After knocking on the door twice, Lu Wu poked his head in.

"Teacher, you wanted to see me?"

Li Chun, who was busy with some work, immediately put it down when he saw Lu Wu come in. He smiled and beckoned Lu Wu over: "Yes, come have a seat."

"I have tea, water, coffee, and cola here. What would you like to drink?"

"Tea, please!"

"Tea? I thought you'd choose cola. I'll get it for you in a moment!"

As he spoke, Li Chun was about to get up, but Lu Wu quickly walked to the tea station.

"Teacher, let me do it. What would you like to drink?"

Li Chun was stunned: "Get me a cup of tea too."

"Okay!"

Lu Wu skillfully made two cups of tea and brought them over: "Teacher, here you go!"

"Thank you!"

Li Chun took the tea, but his eyes were on Lu Wu.

In fact, Li Chun was somewhat surprised by Lu Wu's demeanor at this moment, which was unexpected.

The Lu Wu in front of him didn't look like his usual self. He had taught Lu Wu for two years and knew his student quite well.

The original Lu Wu was rash, arrogant, and competitive, like an iron sword, not sharp but still trying to show off. To be honest, if it weren't for his unremarkable face, few would have wanted to associate with him.

But the present Lu Wu was much more stable, gentle, and had a noticeable change in his attitude towards others. This change was evident in their brief interaction, making Li Chun feel very comfortable.

'It seems that summoning the Little Skeleton had a significant impact on him, changing his personality overnight.'

Feeling emotional, Li Chun found himself at a loss for words he had initially prepared for Lu Wu.

Even the same words, directed at the same person, would be inappropriate at different times.

Faced with this different version of Lu Wu, Li Chun naturally had to take a different approach.

He sipped his tea and began with a comment about the Little Skeleton Lu Wu was holding: "You must have learned the 'Little Skeleton Training Manual' online, right?"

"This is the only method I found online."

Lu Wu thought for a moment and added, "It's free!"

Li Chun didn't say anything like 'this method has limited effects' but instead changed the topic: "I just saw you reading a first-year book, right?"

"Yes, my foundation is weak."

After Lu Wu nodded, Li Chun threw a straightforward question.

"You're training the Little Skeleton and also reading books. Are you planning to apply for Summoner University?"

In response to Li Chun's straightforward question, Lu Wu remained calm and gently nodded: "I want to give it a try."

Lu Wu's calm reaction and gentle words made Li Chun hesitate to say words intended to bring Lu Wu back to reality.

Li Chun couldn't help but take a sip of tea and softly said, "It's very difficult."

"I know, there are dozens of high schools in Quan City, but only one hundred to two hundred students can get into Summoner University each year. Our school's highest record is six students getting into Summoner University in one year."

"Knowing that..."

"Knowing is one thing, trying is another.

Getting into Summoner University is my dream, and I want to make an effort. Who knows, maybe a miracle will happen to me?"

Listening to Lu Wu's words, which were calm yet full of hope and expectation, Li Chun couldn't help but shake his head.

Effort? Miracles?

In this world, how many miracles are there?

Especially on the road to becoming a Professional Summoner, effort was often the cheapest thing. Besides, why didn't you make an effort before? What use is it now?

Understanding this, Li Chun decided to give Lu Wu a harsh dose of reality.

"You should know that with your grades, your Summoned Beast, and your financial situation, it's impossible for you to get into Summoner University no matter how hard you try!

Setting such a goal for yourself will only make your next year particularly difficult.

Are you sure that this kind of effort, which is doomed to fail, is what you want?

You should know that life has more than one path, and choosing a different path can also lead to different scenery."

Li Chun stared into Lu Wu's eyes, applying comprehensive pressure to shatter Lu Wu's unrealistic fantasies.

However, faced with this pressure, Lu Wu maintained a smile on his face and said while holding a bowl of chicken soup: "Yes, everyone should have an experience where they throw themselves into something wholeheartedly.

How can you accept failure without giving your best effort?

Don't you think so, Teacher?"

......

Hmm, after thinking it over, two chapters a day seem fine.

One at 8 AM and another at 6 PM
