After some thought, Monty turned to Sofia and said, “Considering what you told me, this kid doesn’t like others opening backdoors for him. Although he has the strength to enter the preliminary list, the other students will have other thoughts if we do that. It’ll make them feel uncomfortable. The effect won’t be good.”

After pausing, Monty tapped the table with his finger, smiled, and said with anticipation in his eyes, “Let’s stick to the procedures. Then we can see what kind of surprises Moss will bring us next.”

“Yes, President Monty.” Sofia nodded respectfully. Then she handed a report to Monty, saying, “This is the plan for this year’s first- and second-year student exchange competition. Please take a look.”

Monty flipped through a few pages and nodded with satisfaction. “The points in your report are pretty innovative, Sofia. I commend you, but I think we can be bolder. Although results are crucial, training and nurturing young people is more important. I suggest a 50-50 between first- and second-year students.”

“50-50?” Sofia was shocked.

In her report, she mentioned it was a bold idea to increase the number of first-year students to four. After all, the previous competitions were mainly for second-year students.

“Hahaha, it doesn’t matter since it’s just a competition. What does it matter if we lose? We have claimed first place five years in a row, so no one doubts our ability.”

“But won’t the second-year students have any objections?” Sofia asked tentatively.

“They’re also new here, so I think they will understand.” Monty sipped his tea and smiled. “Besides, the future large-scale competitions can also increase the second-year students’ participation rates.”

“Okay, President Monty. I will prepare for the internal selection according to your suggestions.” Sofia’s heart shook, and her eyes were full of admiration.

Monty was bold enough to select new students and willing to give the younger students a chance. Sofia could take on such an important job at a young age because of the atmosphere between Monty and Kyoto.

Simultaneously, the atmosphere infected Sofia, making her more willing to give younger students a chance.

“That’s all for now. Next, you guys must work hard and observe Moss,” Monty’s eyes flashed as he instructed, “If Moss has any needs in his studies, please satisfy them. Do as you see fit. There’s no need to ask me for instructions.”

Sofia nodded. Then she reported a few of her daily tasks to Monty and exited his office full of energy.

Knock, knock, knock!

A chubby head popped in following the hurried knocks on the door. “Moss, the list for determining which campus the students will attend is out. Don’t you want to take a look?”

The person speaking was Morales, a student from Giant Ape City’s Number One High in J Country. He was Moss’s loyal fan.

Through a short time of knowing each other, Moss learned that the chubby boy was more diligent than he seemed. If Morales worked harder, he would probably rank higher than 100th in the country.

Moss noticed Morales’s anxiety and decided to look, but he was more concerned about which dorm he would live in for the next four years than the list. Moss exited the room as he spoke, “All right, I’ll accompany you.”

‘This usually slow-moving boy can run as fast as a leopard!’ Moss, who was following behind Morales, smiled. ‘So, his profession is a Special Lurker.’

Morales was typically lazy and unwilling to spend any effort unless it was a critical moment.

Morales, who was in front, stopped before reaching the place as he steadied himself. “That was close!”

Moss stopped and asked, “Why are you in a hurry again?”

Morales could not help but smugly laugh. “I’m not boasting, Boss Moss. With my level of five senses, no one would dare to be ranked first if I am ranked second!

“To be honest, I’ve already seen myself on the list of 108 people who will study on Kyoto’s main campus, so I don’t need to run away in vain. How nice would it be to stroll like this? I’ll just look at my student ID and dorm later.”

Moss was shocked. ‘We’re at least 350 feet away from the bulletin board, but this dude said he could see it. If what he said is true, then he isn’t a simpleton. He doesn’t even need binoculars to conduct investigations.’

When Moss reached the bulletin board’s outer perimeter a moment later, the first-year students had already surrounded it. He saw the 108 names who had made it to Kyoto’s main campus and could not help but have a good impression of Morales.

A tall and burly male student approached the bulletin board and brought up a topic, “So, the numbers the first-year students received during the entrance test was their actual number? Isn’t it a bit hasty to arrange the students’ numbers like that?”

Many other first-year students also joined the discussion.

“What’s so hasty about it? It’s good if other universities rank students by their surnames.”

“Hahaha, that’s true, but I thought the school would rank the students according to their results in the freshmen entrance test.”

“This isn’t hasty. When I saw the numbers of the freshmen test yesterday, I said this was a serial number determined by the college entrance exams.”

Some immediately raised their doubts after hearing this.

“Moss is a knight, so how could he rank fifth among us? Do you honestly believe he can do that?”

“You’re right. Moss finished his test late yesterday, and I almost called an ambulance for him.”

“Yeah, I even wondered how he got into Kyoto. Did Kyoto open a backdoor for him?”

Morales puffed up his cheeks in anger when he overheard these words. He wanted to argue with the naysayers. As he raised his left foot, Moss pressed down on his shoulder and said indifferently, “Let them say what they want. Kyoto relies on strength to speak, not words.”

Suddenly, Moss felt a potent spiritual power erupt from the crowd as a very authoritative voice echoed, “You should look up some information and try increasing your strength instead of spouting nonsense!”

As soon as these words fell, the naysayers instantly quieted down. Moss looked toward the source of the voice and saw a delicate girl with a head full of purple hair.

It was Nat. She wore the same tender yellow dress from when she first visited Kyoto. Her eyes resembled torches as she looked at the naysayers. She continued sternly, “Moss ranked tenth in the national college entrance exams, so why can’t he rank fifth among us?!

“You guys even have the guts to suspect that Kyoto had opened up a backdoor for him! If you want to know so badly, why don’t you ask the president in person?! Stop using Moss as an excuse to vent your frustrations. I won’t let you guys off the hook so easily if I hear any doubts next time!”

Then Nat turned and left the crowd. Even though she had left, her words lingered in many people’s hearts, especially the boys.

Those unaware Moss had ranked tenth in the national college entrance exams immediately burst into an uproar.

“That’s awesome! A knight ranked tenth in the national college entrance exams?!”

“Even if he ranked tenth, I’m still not convinced.”

The students were becoming more enthusiastic when another big commotion happened.
