My school is really not a boys’ school!

Roy saw information about New Star Arts College on TikTok.

Someone had stumbled upon New Star Arts College's official website and was amazed by the refreshing and unique content of the college's introduction. They posted it on TikTok.

Many high school graduates saw the content, liked, and commented on it, which made the video somewhat popular.

"Wow, this school treats its students so well! They even have gigabit ethernet ports and don't enforce an intranet. This is truly a considerate school!"

"Each desk has three outlets. That's really thoughtful, considering that nowadays you need at least three outlets for a phone, a tablet, and a computer."

"Their military training is like this? I always thought military training was just marching under the sun!"

"The school cafeteria isn't outsourced, and everyone from the principal to the staff eats in the cafeteria without any special treatment?"

"Then I'm relieved. At least I don't have to worry about eating subpar food!"

"This school is really great. It's a shame I got into a university, or I'd definitely enroll here…"

"A genuinely good school!"

Many high school graduates were discussing in the comments, mostly praising New Star Arts College's humane policies.

Of course, there were also discordant voices.

"A vocational college? Haha, these garbage vocational colleges can only attract people with such things!"

"Good schools are defined by their faculty strength. New Star didn't mention that at all. You can imagine the quality. The culinary teachers are probably just street vendors!"

"Schools are ultimately places for learning. What's the point of having fast internet? Might as well open an internet cafe! Misplaced priorities!"

"Military training is supposed to be a formality, and they're making it serious? Just showing off!"

"A vocational college with only one major, no one would attend!"

"Vocational students should just learn culinary skills! Society needs chefs, keep it up…"

The doubts were continuous, with many arrogant remarks looking down on vocational students, causing quite a backlash.

This naturally made the video even more popular.

Through data algorithms, many high school graduates saw the short video.

Unexpectedly, this increased the recognition of New Star Arts College significantly.

Although many believed that New Star Arts College was just trying to attract attention, this didn't stop many low-scoring high school graduates from being interested.

After all, the admission score requirement for New Star Arts College was very low. As long as the score met the vocational college line, one could apply.

Moreover, the accommodation and food looked good, and the internet speed was fast with no power cuts at night.

For many students who just wanted to slack off, this was the perfect place.

However, the culinary major did deter many people.

There are many foodies, but few are willing to cook.

Being a chef isn't considered a prestigious job these days.

It's far less popular than careers like programming or government jobs.

These high school graduates, who have not yet entered society, whether their grades are good or bad, all believe they have unlimited potential.

They dream of becoming millionaires, earning tens of thousands a month…

Under such circumstances, who would be willing to become a chef after graduation?

So despite the high interest, only a few were genuinely considering applying.

Most people were just watching for fun.

…

"The moment of destiny has arrived!"

"Win and enjoy a luxurious life, lose and face hardships…"

Chase sat in front of his computer, inputting his credentials with some tension.

As the page refreshed, Chase immediately looked at the number of applicants.

Suddenly, Chase's eyes widened.

"637 applicants!"

"How are there so many?"

Chase was shocked by the number of applicants.

Although the college had set a cap of one thousand slots, Chase had never expected to attract so many.

The original plan considered two hundred applicants a success, three hundred a stroke of luck.

After all, the college had no advertising, no reputation, no strengths, and only offered one major in culinary arts.

Attracting two to three hundred students would have been very good.

But now, with 637 applicants, it was beyond Chase's expectations.

"637 applicants. Even if only six hundred eventually enroll, we'll receive 1.2 million dollars in tuition fees at the start of the term!"

"With annual costs for staff, maintenance, and other expenses totaling six hundred thousand dollars, in an ideal scenario, we can save six hundred thousand dollars each year."

"If the college gains a good reputation, we might attract even more students in the future, increasing our earnings."

"In this case, we might be able to repay our loans and expand our curriculum in three to four years!"

At this moment, Chase was undoubtedly in a great mood.

Having over six hundred students was a significant boost.

Now, there was no need to worry about going bankrupt.

However, Chase still had some doubts.

Why were there so many students applying to his college?

It didn't make sense!

For now, he couldn't figure it out, but he could ask the students when the term started.

Chase carefully examined the back-end data.

Out of the 637 applicants, about half were local to Skysea City, which was normal.

But when he looked at the gender ratio, he was stunned.

634 males and 3 females!

The proportion of female students was less than one percent, almost one in two hundred.

This…

He wasn't running a boys' school!

The number of female students was just too low.

Although Chase was now a principal, at heart he was still a 24-year-old young man.

Who wouldn't look forward to seeing young, vibrant female students in short skirts on campus?

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Young people dislike physical labor, avoiding factory jobs, and even more so, girls.

Female chefs are rare.

Realizing this, Chase felt he lacked experience.

He should have anticipated this.

Preparing equal numbers of male and female dormitories was a mistake.

But it wasn't a big issue.

If the boys' dorms were insufficient, the surplus could use the prepared girls' dorms.

As for the girls, Chase thought it was necessary to call them.

He had to inform them about the gender ratio.

Otherwise, their parents might cause trouble upon discovering the truth during registration, feeling uneasy.

Once the term starts, it would be difficult for them to transfer to another school.

Therefore, he had to notify them in advance.

In half a month, there would be a second round of applications.

If they decided not to come, he could reject their applications with valid reasons, allowing them to apply elsewhere.

The students' contact details were clear in the system.

Using the office phone, Chase dialed the first female student's number…

"Hello, I'm the principal of New Star Arts College. I'm calling to inform you…"

"What? I'm not a scammer!"

"I'm not tricking you into facing north…"

"What? You don't need to pay any deposit to enroll in our school. I'm really not a scammer!"

…

Listening to the dial tone as the call was hung up, Chase's mouth twitched.

Indeed, modern students have a strong sense of fraud prevention.

But…

I'm really not a scammer!
