Chapter 12

“Yes, yes, yes. I just went out to buy some groceries and came back. I’ve been waiting to make a delicious meal for you.”

Lina quickly agreed. The couple was about to take Fran inside when Fran suddenly stopped.

“Dad, mom, that’s my principal.”

Following Fran’s finger, the two saw Baidiro standing not far away.

“Aiya! Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Eller smacked Fran on the back of his head and quickly walked over to Baidiro. “I’m sorry for what happened just now.”

Eller was a little apprehensive. He didn’t know if the principal would have any other opinions about Fran after seeing the situation just now.

Although Fran had already graduated from Olly Academy, the graduation handbook was still in school. If the teacher wrote something bad about Fran, it would be troublesome for him to further his studies.

“No, I’m here to congratulate you two.”

Eller was shocked. “Congratulations?”

What was there to congratulate them for? Those who wanted money were beaten away today. They were probably not going to have a good time in the future!

Baidiro smiled and looked at Fran. “Do you want to say it yourself, or should I be the one to say it?”

“Fran, what’s going on?”

Lina nervously grabbed Fran’s arm.

This was the first time they had seen the principal come to Fran’s house with him, and Fran’s grades were at the bottom. Could it be that Fran had caused trouble at school? Was the principal here to expel Fran?

“Mom, I got first place in the exam this time.”

Fran suppressed his excitement and told his parents about the results.

“What!” Flora was the first to react. She leaned over towards Fran. “Brother, you got first place? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”

“Yes, the principal is still here, so don’t spout nonsense.”

Lina’s expression wasn’t very good, afraid that Fran had lied to them because he didn’t want them to be sad.

Moreover, the principal was still here. If he knew that Fran was a dishonest child, the graduation handbook would definitely be filled with even worse words.

“I’m telling the truth.”

Fran helplessly smiled.

It seemed that his parents had already had a fixed prejudice against his grades. No wonder they didn’t mention anything about the exam when he came back just now. They were afraid that he would be upset if they mentioned it.

As he thought of this, a warm feeling flowed through Fran’s heart. In the future, he must work hard and let his parents live a good life!

“Really?”

Lina still didn’t believe it. How could a poor student who was always at the bottom and hadn’t been able to awaken his profession surpass so many outstanding students and get first place in the exam?

“It’s true! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Principal Baidiro.”

The couple then looked at Baidiro with hope. Seeing him nod, Lina hugged Fran and started crying.

“I knew it! If my son studied hard, how could he not be better than others? Our Fran is the best!”

Eller was also so excited that he was wiping his tears of joy. All these years of suffering had not been in vain!

“Student Fran has been studying very hard in school. The assessment this time is fair and just. Student Fran deserves such a result!”

Hearing Baidiro’s praise for Fran, the couple became even more excited.

Very few people who lived in the slums could go to school. Many people wanted their children to enter society as soon as possible and work to support their families.

But Fran’s parents felt that if this continued, they would only be able to produce generations of workers.

They might as well suffer a little and send Fran to school so that he could learn and make a name for himself in the future.

“If brother took first place, will he be able to go to a better school for further studies?”

Flora’s admiration for her brother increased a lot. Her parents had told her that after her brother graduated, they would send her to Olly Academy to study.

She had heard that the top ten students in the provincial examination had the opportunity to receive a recommendation from the school to further their studies in more well-known and better institutions.

“Mhmm… It should be.”

Fran nodded hesitantly. He didn’t know if he had the qualifications to enter a better school. After the exam, he was busy telling his parents the good news and didn’t have the time to discuss it with the teacher.

“Mr. Principal, does my brother have a chance to enter an advanced academy?”

Flora looked at Baidiro. If her brother could enter an advanced academy, then their family would be able to hold their heads high!

“With Fran’s results, there shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure many academies will fight for him.”

Baidiro felt a little strange. In the past, with such excellent results, there would have already been teachers from the advanced academies coming to discuss the matter of further studies.

There seemed to be no news this year. Baidiro looked at Fran with a dark expression. Was it because he couldn’t change classes in the future?

“Then big brother is too amazing! In the future, I’ll learn from big brother. Will I be able to get first place in the exam?”

Flora was holding onto Fran’s arm, and he could only helplessly smile.

“Of course, you still have to study hard.”

“Brother is right.” Flora thought for a moment and nodded.

Lina and Eller even hugged each other joyfully. Their struggle all these years had not been wrong!

In the future, Fran would definitely achieve greater success.

“Oh right, this is the bonus given by the school for Fran’s exam. You can take it. I should go back to school to settle the graduation matters.”

The moment Eller heard that there was a bonus, he took the golden brown box with trembling hands.

“I’ll be leaving first.”

Seeing that the family was reunited, Baidiro didn’t continue to disturb them. Before he could leave, a van stopped in front of him, and more than a dozen burly men got out.

From their weapons, it could be seen that they were all intermediate warriors, and they were all Hammer Emperors!

“It’s him! He’s the one who injured our brothers!” The burly man who had just escaped stood up and pointed at Fran, who was half as thin as them.

“Brother, he’s just a poor student who hasn’t awakened his profession. Is there a need for so many people to come?”

A man beside the brawny man said in disdain.

Looking at Fran’s weak body, even if he had an awakened class, he could easily lift him up with one hand.

“That kid is not simple. He can create an intermediate [Flaming Sky] in three seconds.” The burly man shook his head.

If he had not seen the terrifying side of this kid just now, he would definitely have a similar disdainful attitude.

“Ha, so what? A single spell can consume almost an entire mana bar. Could it be that this kid’s mana bar is infinitely long? Don’t be scared, let’s attack together and turn this broken house into ruins!”

With a loud shout, a dozen strong men rushed at Fran. Lina and Eller were already standing in front of Fran, ready to help him block this group’s attack.

However, before the group of brawny men could even get close to their family, they were suddenly sent flying by a powerful force.

“Who was it?! Who was that! You dare to spoil my good good!”

The brawny man in the lead climbed up from the ground in a sorry state. The others weren’t any better off than him.

“Do you have any questions?”

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the staff in Baidiro’s hand was full of blue mana. Fran was attentively watching the energy gathered by the magic staff.

It was hundreds of times more powerful than the magic he could gather! What terrifying energy!

“Do you know who we are…”

The brawny man in the lead stopped when he saw the shining emblem on the Baidiro’s chest.

“Boss, let’s teach him a lesson! Let him know who’s the big boss in this area!”

The brawny man rolled up his sleeves and was about to swing his hammer at Baidiro.

The leader of the group slapped him. “Are you blind?! That’s the principal of Olly Academy! My son is still studying there! Shut your mouth!”

“Principal Baidiro, this is all a misunderstanding. Please don’t mind it.”

The leader laughed foolishly and ordered the people behind him to put away their weapons.

Then, he turned to Fran and his family. “It was my fault today. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

Eller and Lina looked at each other, sighed, and waved their hands. “Please leave. We won’t pursue what happened today.”

The brawny leader looked at Baidiro in fear, waved his hand, and fled with his men.
