"Captain, should we raise the school flag?"
Shi Qiao suddenly thought of a problem.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they became excited.
When the students participated in the league tournament, they would bring their school flags with them. If they were ranked at the top and displayed their school flags, it would definitely bring glory to the school.
"Our ranking isn't too bad, right?"
Li Fen guessed that if they were at the bottom, it would be a humiliation for them to carry the school flag.
"I'm not talking about the top ten, but I'm sure he'll be in the top twenty."
Chu Jian urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up! "
Zhang Yaozong immediately took out the school flag from his backpack. Meanwhile, Zeng Gang had already gone to the side to chop down a locust tree that was as thick as a wrist to use as a flagpole.
Very soon, the Central Province Academy's school flag started to flutter!
…
Zhang Hanfu stood at the side with a smile on his face. He pretended to be listening attentively, but there was an unconcealable awkwardness in his expression. He wanted to interrupt, but no one bothered with him.
The headmasters of these famous schools were all five-star and six-star. Four-star headmasters were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Therefore, a two-star noob like Zhang Hanfu couldn't obtain recognition regardless of his position or strength. Naturally, there was no need to talk about respect.
Zhang Hanfu, on the other hand, was eager to build a good relationship with these principals. This was because these people had extremely high statuses in the country and had great power.
Zhang Hanfu wanted to build a network of connections. By doing so, even if he left Prince Li Zixing's support and the Central Province Academy, he would still be able to thrive.
Zhang Hanfu still had the ability to read people's expressions. He noticed that Haizhou's Headmaster Wei was a rather vain person who cared about his reputation. Hence, after everyone finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"I've seen Haizhou's students before. They're all very good. They probably didn't perform well? Otherwise, he would have entered the top three! "
Zhang Hanfu actually wanted to boast that he was first, but Headmaster Ming of Mingshao was at the side. He was worried that he might anger Headmaster Ming, hence, he chose to say 'top three'. However, this title wasn't bad either.
Upon hearing this, Headmaster Wei raised his eyebrows, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He even glanced at Zhang Hanfu.
"After not seeing you for a year, Headmaster Wei is still as vigorous as ever. Moreover, it seems like Haizhou is going to have a breakthrough this year."
Zhang Hanfu immediately came over and started chatting as if they were close friends.
"You are?"
Headmaster Wei felt that this middle-aged man was rather eloquent. It was just that he was a little short. His short stature made him look like a potato.
But this is good. The uglier he is, the more handsome I can be.
At the thought of this, Principal Wei puffed out his chest again and put one hand behind his back, acting like an expert.
"I'm the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy, Zhang Hanfu!"
Zhang Hanfu introduced himself with a smile on his face, but he was depressed in his heart. D * mn it, I did introduce myself to you during the league tournament last year.
"Nice to meet you!"
Headmaster Wei replied perfunctorily. He met so many people every year, how could he possibly remember all of them?
Initially, everyone didn't care about Zhang Hanfu. But after hearing that he was the vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy, tens of gazes immediately turned over.
"Headmaster An, what's going on? Why did you choose such an ugly guy to be the vice-principal? "
"I heard that the Central Province Academy's situation isn't good. Seems like it's true!"
"Che, he actually took the initiative to curry favor with Old Wei. The Central Province Academy is going to lose all of its dignity!"
The discussions in the surroundings were more ear-piercing, causing Zhang Hanfu's expression to feel even more awkward.
Naturally, these headmasters weren't mocking Zhang Hanfu. They weren't so senseless and were purely expressing their opinions.
A headmaster was the flag of a school, a representative. Hence, they didn't need to be very good-looking. At the very least, they couldn't embarrass themselves when they went out.
This Zhang Hanfu's image was too inferior. As for his strength, he could only laugh at it!
The Saint Gate didn't have any strict requirements for the headmasters and teachers' attire, but everyone would choose the school's uniform without prior consultation. The only exception was that they would embroider golden stars above the school emblem on their chests. They would embroider as many stars as the number of great teachers.
There were two stars on Zhang Hanfu's chest.
If this was among a group of teachers, it might still be acceptable. But among a group of headmasters, it was simply not worth mentioning.
Some headmasters were more mischievous. Upon seeing this, they complimented, "This returning group might be the new student group from the Central Province Academy!"
"That won't happen, that won't happen. The quality of the new students from our school this year is average. We don't dare to have extravagant hopes of getting fifth place. If we can get tenth place, I'll be able to roll over with laughter."
Zhang Hanfu wasn't being humble. It was because the new student group getting tenth place was something he didn't even dare to dream of.
"Hehe, tenth place?"
Some headmasters were filled with disdain. (Do you think you're still the Central Province Academy from the Nine Greats? Bro, that's all in the past!)
"Don't be anxious. The Central Province Academy might not be able to make it now, but we'll slowly catch up."
Headmaster Wei consoled.
Zhang Hanfu felt very awkward. Luckily, the new student group arrived at this moment. A flag fluttering in the wind entered everyone's vision.
"Headmaster Wei, congratulations... eh!"
In order to deepen his impression in Headmaster Wei's heart, Zhang Hanfu rushed to congratulate him. But after he said that, he was stunned.
It was because that school flag was simply too familiar.
The picture on it was a kite shield. On the shield, a war hammer and a longsword were intertwined. The surroundings of the shield were decorated with wheat.
Swoosh!
The gazes of all the headmasters turned to Zhang Hanfu.
These headmasters might not be able to remember what all the school emblems of the 108'D 'grade schools looked like, but they definitely knew the school emblem of the Central Province Academy.
There was no other reason. The Central Province Academy was too famous. When these headmasters were young and participated in the league tournament, the new student group of the Central Province Academy had always been a strong opponent.
"Fifth place? The Central Province Academy's performance is a little impressive! "
"Seems like that lass An Xinhui has put in a lot of effort in teaching the new students this year!"
"That's right, the new student group failed last year. They'll definitely pay attention this year!"
The headmasters mumbled and glanced at Headmaster Wei, rejoicing in his misfortune.
Honestly speaking, this headmaster was too vain and arrogant. Hence, everyone didn't have a good impression of him. However, in view of his strength, they didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
They didn't expect that this Zhang Hanfu would be so gutsy to actually mock him!
"I knew it. Although his star-level is low, he's still a vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy. He has confidence and a bottom line. Why would he kneel and lick Headmaster Wei's boots?"
"Tyrannical!"
"But by doing this, he's already offended Haizhou!"
The headmasters cast admiring gazes at Zhang Hanfu.
"I... I..."
Zhang Hanfu wanted to explain, but some words couldn't be said.
"Vice-headmaster Zhang, right? Good! You're very good! "
Headmaster Wei forcefully patted Zhang Hanfu's shoulder. "I'll remember you. In the upcoming competition, we must have a good exchange!"
After speaking, Headmaster Wei left with a gloomy expression.
Other than smiling, what else could Zhang Hanfu do? He couldn't possibly say that he wasn't mocking him and that he also didn't know how these students managed to get the fifth place!
Bang!
A signal flare rose into the sky. After that, the referee announced loudly.
"The 20 participants from the Central Province Academy have all reached the finishing point."
The headmasters applauded and surveyed these students. They were great teachers and could tell many things from just a little detail.
The large spider mounts didn't seem to have any damage or dirt on their clothes. No one was injured, and their mental states weren't very fatigued either. This meant that these students had plenty of energy to spare.
The most important thing was that the headmasters discovered that when these students were celebrating, they huddled together. This meant that the relationship between this student group was very harmonious.
"The Central Province Academy this year will be a formidable opponent!"
This thought instantly appeared in the minds of all the headmasters. When they returned, they had to tell their students to be more wary.
"Vice-headmaster Zhang, congratulations!"
"Fifth place, not bad. Congratulations!"
"From the looks of it, they didn't seek help from their teachers. This performance is quite outstanding."
Some headmasters walked over and chatted with Zhang Hanfu, asking for information. They wanted to know the secret behind the rise of the new student group of the Central Province Academy.
Zhang Hanfu dealt with them one by one. Right now, he felt very conflicted in his heart. Because of the performance of these new students, he had turned from a transparent person who was ignored into a 'hot shot'.
Although he knew that the motives of these headmasters weren't pure, the feeling of being surrounded was really great!
...
"Eldest martial sister, why aren't you happy?"
Lu Zhiruo felt a little disappointed when she saw Li Ziqi.
"It's a pity that we aren't in the top three!"
The little sunny egg sighed.
"Fifth place is already very good. Honestly speaking, I don't even dare to think about the top ten!"
Chu Jian interjected.
"Speaking of which, our journey in the competition can be considered smooth. We even had the large spider mounts, but we are only in the fifth place. How impressive are the top four?"
Ying Baiwu frowned.
"Why do you care so much? As long as we are in the top ten, we would be able to advance to the next round! "
Zhao Zhi felt that Ying Baiwu's aspiration was too high.
The iron-headed girl didn't reply. Instead, she was considering how she should get first place. Because her teacher had made a bet with Zhang Hanfu, she had to become the champion no matter what.
Zhang Hanfu came over and encouraged her. "Very well done!"
"Vice-headmaster!"
The students greeted, but their expressions were neither warm nor cold. This was because everyone knew that Teacher Sun and Zhang Hanfu weren't on good terms. Also, after seeing the performance of Li Ziqi and the others, they felt even more respect for Sun Mo.
One could say that 80% of the credit for such a good result was due to the efforts of Sun Mo's personal students.
Zhang Hanfu's expression turned awkward again.
(As a headmaster, if I can't obtain the love and respect of the students, what's the point of being a headmaster?) (But it's fine. In terms of winning people's hearts, I'm very good.)
"Everyone must be very tired, right? Let's go, I've prepared a feast. Everyone, let's take a hot bath first before we eat. "
Actually, this was prepared by An Xinhui.
"Teacher is back!"
Lu Zhiruo called out. After that, she ran out.
Sun Mo's group of four and the observer also returned.
"Teacher!"
The others also called out excitedly and ran to Sun Mo's side.
In an instant, there was no one around Zhang Hanfu. This caused him to feel extremely awkward. If he went over to talk to Sun Mo, he would feel embarrassed. But if he left directly, he wouldn't be willing to do so!
"Teacher, I didn't manage to get into the top three!"
Li Ziqi apologized.
"Very good! It's already very good! "
Sun Mo rubbed Li Ziqi's head, his gaze filled with gratification as he glanced at the students around him. "I've seen all of your performances. They're extremely excellent!"
