Christineâs voice rose. Her crystal blue eyes blinked quickly as she couldnât believe what she heard. No one doubted Qian Jinâs actual fighting abilities. However, in terms of pure strength, Qian Jin might only win against Rudy if he used both of his arms to wrestle. He only stood a chance if it was a one-on-one fight.
Rollin felt more proud as Christine couldnât believe him. He stood up straight, lifted his chin and placed his hands on his waist as he laughed. âOf course, who else is named Rudy in the Academy? Qian Jin kicked his ass three times in a row. There was no luck involved! How about that? Astonishing, isnât it?â
A strange expression appeared on Christineâs face. She looked at Qian Jinâs room as she lifted her chin up with her palm. âHe is able to beat Rudy in strength? Was he always hiding his true abilities? If that is the case, then he probably wonât be interested in just a Substitution Participation Seat. He must be in disguise, trying to trick people into thinking that he isnât that strongâŚâ
âI have to hide the hat well. I must! All of what happened today can be attributed to this mysterious hat. Even if I canât find the precious warrior energy training scroll in the treasure map, I can still change my future.â
Qian Jin crawled under the bed and tightly tied the hat to the bottom of the bed frame with the torn sheet. He then crawled out and made his bed so other people couldnât find anything strange about it. After that, he cleaned the dust off himself and quickly walked out of the room.
Most of the warriors had a straight and short temper. Instructor Rodriguez was the golden example of a warrior. Qian Jin didnât want the instructor to wait too long; he might get punished for it and lose time to study the hat.
The people were still in the hall. The first person he saw was Christine. The prettiest girl in the class had more curiosity on her face, and her intent of challenging him seemed obvious.
âOh sh*t! Is she going to challenge me to a fight again?â
Qian Jin swore in secret. He lowered his head and looked down at the path in front of him as he tried to quickly sneak out of the situation.
âQian Jin!â Christine stared at his back and shouted, âAre you really not interested in the Substitution Participation Seat for the Universal Hero Conference?â
âNot interested at all!â Qian Jin swung his arm. He paced himself as he mumbled quietly, âWith the strength and energy I have right now, I would end up getting my ass kicked even if I got the Substitution Participation Seat and participated in the competition. Why would I want that? Substitution? Thatâs too shameful. If I want to go, I will get an Official Participation Seat!â
âOfficial Participation Seat?â Christine was always proud of her excellent hearing ability. However, when she heard Qian Jinâs quiet mumble, she felt that her ears were not functioning properly for the first time. âThis Grade One student has such an ambition? âIf I want to go, I will get an Official Participation Seat?â That is the kind of seat that warriors and mages in Grade Two or Grade Three can only dream about. But from his tone, it sounded like he knew a lot about the Universal Hero Conference.â
Qian Jin was walking faster than usual as he was thinking about the hat. In a few turns around the campus, he got to the Warrior Branchâs instructor dorms.
Instructor Rodriguezâs room was easy to find. Qian Jin calmed himself before knocking on the door. The hat incident that happened at the last test was very embarrassing, This was especially the case since a warrior student couldnât even dodge a hat and was knocked out by it.
He lightly knocked the door as a rough uninhabited voice said, âCome on in.â
Qian Jin recognized Instructor Rodriguezâs voice. He pushed open the door and walked in. The room was a bit messy, but it looked like a maleâs room from the way stuff was placed. Instructor Rodriguez was sitting at a table.
As a warrior, Instructor Rodriguez was on the shorter and thinner side. However, everyone at the academy had to admit that although this instructor wasnât particularly strong or exhibit tremendously powerful fighting abilities, his teaching ability was far better than instructors who were stronger than him.
Rodriguez raised his head and looked at his favorite student. He smiled bitterly; Qian Jin had the ability to get to the third rank on the Grade Fighting Ability Ranking and receive a Substitution Participation Seat for the upcoming Universal Hero Conference, but he was the least enthusiastic warrior on the top ten list.
Rodriguez really wanted to help Qian Jin get an Observation Seat at least. He hoped that the competition during the Universal Hero Conference could light up a fire in Qian Jinâs heart so it would motivate him to prepare and fight for an Official Participation Seat in his second year. However, before the test for qualifying candidates for the seats began, Qian Jin was knocked out by the hat and was disqualified.
Qian Jin saw Rodriguezâs smile and sighed as he scratched his head. âInstructor, you didnât call me here to just laugh at me, right?â
Rodriguez glanced at a chair to signal Qian Jin to sit down. Qian Jin pulled the chair towards him and sat down bluntly and said, âThanks, instructor.â
Rodriguez was delighted by that fact that Qian Jin could understand what he meant by just a glance. This student was great at observing and understanding. If he was disqualified to get an Observation Seat because he was knocked out by a hat, then it would be truly unfortunate.

After a few seconds of silence, Rodriguez spoke, âAfter I talked to the Managing Director many times, I still canât get you a retest.â
âRetest?â Qian Jin was surprised, but he knew immediately what Rodriguez was trying to do.
The managing directorâs round chubby figure also appeared in his mind, as well as Caesarsâ swollen, beaten up dace.
After he kicked Caesarsâ ass in the practice fight, the managing director became really mad and upset. It wasnât because the managing director was protective of all students, but it was simply because Caesars was his nephew. It was also because of this relationship that Caesars was arrogant and cocky all the time and dared to bully and beat up other students in private.
Luckily, only the principal of the Academy had the authority to expel students. Otherwise, Qian Jin would have been kicked out of the Academy right after that incident by managing director Caeller.
