School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"We still need to sign up!" A parent, who had been queueing for more than an hour, became anxious.

"Sorry, all one hundred spots have been filled!" The staff member replied very rudely.

"What?" Many parents became frantic, "But we've been lining up for so long. Why didn't you say something earlier!"

"Truly sorry!" The staff member hastily shook their head.

The parents were stunned, and a group of them looked dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the office door closed. The popularity of Hanmen Training Class was astounding. Many were standing there, slack-jawed. In just three short hours, all one hundred spots had been taken. There were also some parents who had heard the news and rushed over, only to be sadly met with a closed door upon arrival.

"I really didn't expect the Hanmen Training Class to be this popular!"

"Yeah, now that it's become famous, signing up has gotten even harder."

Many parents stood at the office door discussing. A lot of them weren't willing to leave just like that, so they hopefully stood guard at the door. Unfortunately, their last bit of hope was going to be shattered.

Signing up was now undoubtedly impossible, their only hope being that someone might drop out.

But at this crucial juncture, who would want to drop out? Most importantly, in the last month before the college entrance exams, Hanmen Training Class was planning to hold classes all day during the last half of the month. Because of this, the fees for these two classes were rather expensive - a uniform cost of five thousand.

However, parents had no complaints whatsoever, even if it costs ten thousand, they would probably pay without hesitation.

One hundred people, five thousand per person, that's five hundred thousand earned just like that.

This money is just too easy to make. Indeed, in this society, as long as you have connections, making money is very easy. Having popularity also makes it easy to earn money. For example, some big-name celebrities in the country, with their strong ability to rake in cash, can earn millions just for making an appearance at a commercial event, and endorsing an ad can bring in tens of millions...

Although Hanmen Training Class earned five hundred thousand in one afternoon, this sum represented a month's income, and they also had to pay several teachers' salaries.

LJ City No. 1 High School, Class Three of Senior Year.

The transition from spring to summer brought warm gusts of wind, nearly strong enough to make it hard to keep your eyes open. It was indeed the perfect season for a nap.

Li Dapang had just received a phone call, and he immediately lit up with joy, rushing into the classroom from outside. He quickly approached Xiao Han and exclaimed, "Xiao Han, good news, good news, I've got great news!"

"What's up?" Xiao Han propped his head on the desk, his mind pondering over some issues.

"That..." As Li Dapang glanced at his desk-mate Chen Zihan, her gaze fixed on him, she said irritably, "Big Fatty, what are you doing? Didn't you see everyone is seriously reviewing their lessons? And here you are, shouting and making a racket; you're such an asshole!"

"Uh..." Li Dapang said awkwardly, "I just wanted to say, Hanmen started enrolling students again this afternoon."

"What?!" Many in the classroom leaped up. A crowd gathered around.

"Li Dapang, what did you say?" They swarmed around him, knowing that Li Dapang worked at Hanmen, and though they all felt that Li Dapang's job at Hanmen was a mystery, they would still approach the big guy to get things clarified.

"I said, Hanmen started enrolling students this afternoon." Li Dapang grinned.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, everyone hastily called home.

Li Dapang quickly said, "Don't worry about it, two classes, one hundred students, all filled up. I just got the notification!"

"No way?" Everyone became anxious, "During class time, how could enrollment start without us getting any word of it."

"Even if you did, it's useless!" Li Dapeng looked at a few people nearby and said, "Which one of you hasn't scored below four hundred in the mock exams? Heh, Hanmen has a condition for this enrollment - students scoring below four hundred are not accepted."

"Damn it, why not?" The crowd was shocked and annoyed upon hearing this.

"Isn't that discriminating against us who score low?" Someone stood up and said, "If it wasn't for our low scores, we wouldn't want to enroll in Hanmen at all. Think about it; who with over four hundred points would want to squander money on Hanmen!"

"Then you're wrong!" Li Dapang sat down with a thump on his desk, facing Xiao Han, then said loudly, "The tuition fee for Hanmen Training Class this time is really not cheap, five thousand for a month!"

"Damn, have you gone mad with greed?" Someone shouted in surprise, "Just a few classes in a month, and you're charging five thousand, you're all madmen!"

"Xiao San, you're wrong again!" Li Dapang said with a cocky smile, "Let me tell you, starting from the fifteenth of this month to the start of next month, Hanmen Training Class will have intensive training almost every day. Special teachers will conduct lessons to aim for a significant improvement in those students with more than four hundred points, so they can get into a better school!"

"Li Dapang, will the 'deity' teacher come?" a girl asked timidly.

"Hehe, are you talking about that masked teacher?" Li Dapeng said, glancing at Xiao Han with a sly look, then seriously added, "Of course, that teacher will come, and there will be classes every day, we'll all be together almost all the time!"

"Wow!" The girl excitedly exclaimed, "That's great, that's really great. I just called my mom, and she said she's signed me up and told me to work hard and that she'd be content if I could just get into a second-tier college."

"Believe me, with the deity teacher's help, you'll definitely make it!" Li Dapeng chuckled.

Gulp!

Chen Zihan's heart skipped a beat; she always felt a bit uneasy.

"Big Fatty, isn't the mysterious teacher giving us lessons anymore?" Chen Zihan retorted.

"Of course not!" Li Dapeng laughed, "Now Hanmen has several teachers taking turns teaching, all for significantly improving the Hanmen students' scores. With the college entrance exams just around the corner, it's time to test the results of Hanmen's work this past year, so we absolutely can't neglect anything."

"Oh!" Chen Zihan let out a small sigh of relief.

At that moment, Xiao Han, curious, asked, "Zihan, you're so concerned about that mysterious teacher. Have you fallen for him, perhaps?"

"What?!" Chen Zihan was startled, her pupils dilated as she quickly shook her head and said, "Xiao Han, don't... don't talk nonsense, I... I just think the deity teacher's lectures are very good. I just like his teaching style, don't get the wrong idea."

"Of course I won't misunderstand!" Xiao Han shook his head, "It's normal to have a crush on someone."

"But I... I really don't, please don't get the wrong idea!" Chen Zihan hastily denied.

In truth, Chen Zihan's heart was also in a tumult because she didn't know quite how to express herself. Her feelings for the mysterious teacher were somewhat vague. Especially his every action, his dashing presence on the podium, and his eloquent and captivating words likely weren't only affecting her. Sometimes Chen Zihan mistook the mysterious teacher for Xiao Han.

But dreams are often contrary, and when she woke up, she'd realize that the mysterious teacher was still just a teacher, and Xiao Han was still Xiao Han.

"Hehe..." Xiao Han smiled, showing not a hint of jealousy.

Chen Zihan shot him a look, her face blushing as she challenged, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing because you're blushing," Xiao Han said, his smile growing wider.

"You're the one who's blushing," Chen Zihan snorted.

"By the way, how are the preparations going for the college entrance exams?" Xiao Han asked.

"They're ready," Chen Zihan took a deep breath and said, "The closer it gets, the less nervous I become. Instead, I look forward to getting onto the battlefield and wish that day would come sooner."

"Really?" Xiao Han smiled and said, "The battlefield is cruel, and this college entrance exam will be like thousands of troops battling it out. Only a handful will emerge victorious in the end."

"I believe that among the victorious, there will always be you and me, right?" Chen Zihan asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

"I'm really looking forward to going to the same university as you!" Chen Zihan's face turned a shade of red.

"Me too!" Xiao Han nodded, "I'm really looking forward to starting university life with you."

Chen Zihan's face flushed, her eyes revealing a complex expression. At that moment, her emotions seemed shaky. She quickly suppressed the restlessness in her heart, not wanting her inner feelings to affect her mood. Otherwise, she would be miserable during the college entrance exams one month later.

Chen Zihan harbored a huge secret in her heart, a secret she had never mentioned to Xiao Han. Except for Xiaoyan, definitely no one else knew. Xiaoyan was someone who understood the gravity of things, even though she was currently on good terms with Big Fatty, she had never spoken of it to him. She kept it sealed tight.

In the last month before the college entrance exams, all the knowledge points from high school had been covered. Although teachers came in every day, it was mainly for students to review on their own, and they could ask them for clarification on anything they didn't understand.

Of course, if someone preferred to review the material at home, that was allowed as well. Since some parents knew the school was for self-study at this time, they'd rather hire a tutor for their children at home than let them waste time at school.

So, there were a number of students who applied to go home for revision.

Applying for home review required a procedure. First, a student had to retrieve an application form, then get it signed by the parents as a guarantee, and finally hand it over to the school. This way, any incidents that happened while the student was at home would be the parents' responsibility.

The last month was said to be the most stressful, yet in some ways, it was the most relaxed.
