Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Chapter 10 Watching Television

Just when Qiao Sang was having a goofy smile, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Fang Sisi.

Qiao Sang's expression sobered up, and she clicked into the conversation, only then noticing that her desk mate had sent her eight or nine messages since yesterday.

[Why didn't you come to school today?]

[I just heard that the teacher called your mom in yesterday, is that true!!!]

[Your mom found out you got zero on the test?]

[Why are you ignoring me]

[Are you there, are you there]

[Why didn't you come to school today either!]

[Your mom came to school again, nothing's happened to you, has it!]

The last message had just been sent.

[Have you evaporated from the face of the earth?]

Qiao Sang tapped on her phone.

[Still alive]

She got a reply soon after.

[Wow, so you are still alive]

[Why haven't you been to school these past few days, you have no idea how dark our teacher's face has gotten]

Qiao Sang thought for a moment.

[It's summer, are you sure he's not just tanned?]

...

After a bit of small talk, Qiao Sang told Fang Sisi the reason for her absence.

Fang Sisi didn't believe her at all.

It wasn't that she looked down on Qiao Sang, it's just that magical awakenings invariably happened to those with exceptional talent.

Typically, it was the students with the best academic performance, and even those rare few who didn't care about their studies often excelled in other areas.

As for Qiao Sang, with grades worse than hers, it just wasn't possible.

Qiao Sang didn't argue, just going into her room to take a photo of her magical awakening certification and sent it over.

There was no response from the other side.

It took about fifteen minutes before Fang Sisi sent a message.

Qiao Sang looked down at it and her mouth twitched.

[Don't forget me when you're rich and famous]

...

...

Qiao Sang hadn't forgotten about the chubby homing pigeon, she went to the cupboard to get its special food and placed it in front of the bird before she remembered herself.

She quickly made a bowl of fried rice with egg to solve her hunger, by then it was already 14:07 in the afternoon.

Perhaps it was because of the morning's events, but the Fire-Toothed Dog was curled up quietly sleeping on the couch.

Qiao Sang didn't disturb it.

She had planned to go to the Beast Taming Center with her certification that afternoon, but seeing the Fire-Toothed Dog sleeping so soundly, she changed her mind.

Qiao Sang tiptoed to her room, picked up a copy of "Extraordinary Creatures Analysis for Ninth Grade: Second Semester", and started reading it while leaning against her bed.

It was only while checking the Beast Taming Codex and reading about magical awakenings on her phone did she realize that the middle school exams were not as simple as her front-desk classmate had made them seem.

The exams only covered what was on the paper, but once someone was stimulated by magnetic waves into awakening, they would also get a score for brain area development, 1% development equaled 20 points, 2% was 40 points.

In an exam with a total score of 650, this percentage of points really didn't count for much.

The Ministry of Education did indeed place a great emphasis on those with magical awakenings, issuing a series of policies every year to recruit such students, but not a single one allowed someone who scored zero to enter Beast Taming High School.

While she could go to a vocational high school, Qiao Sang didn't want that.

Magical awakeners could enter Beast Taming High School through either a direct recruitment or a special admission process.

Apart from quota recommendations, direct recruitment also required looking at the student's grades from the past three years of junior high. The respective schools would send the relevant student information to the Beast Taming High School of their choice for entrance qualification review.

Giving Qiao Sang, who had consistently ranked third from the bottom of her class, a recommendation would probably be too embarrassing for the school, even if she was a magical awakener.
