Chapter 153: Gathering
Yang Chen spent the night with Yao Mei, and the next morning, Everyone had breakfast together before heading to work. Just like he thought, He got scolded by Gu mama for sneaking out at night and fighting against gangsters.
Not only him but also Sun Linhua and the twins. After scolding them enough, She asked Lin Yulan to do a check-up on their body condition, and only after that did she let them go.
At ten in the morning, A group of students was called upon by the principal and were asked to gather in an empty classroom on the same floor as the principal's office.
Inside the room, the atmosphere was a bit tense. Six students were called from varying grades.
"Ruolan, Why do you think the principal summoned us?" Fu Ting asked with a hesitant smile after taking a look at the other students.
"How do I know?" Jin Ruolan shrugged her shoulders after hearing her question.
"But from what I tell, none of us gathered in this room aren't normal" She spoke again, her scarlet eyes scanning the room. Aside from her and Fu Ting, There were the transfer twins and Zhang Yufei, and there was her.
"Tinger, Why do you think the youngest is here?"
By the youngest, Jin Ruolan naturally meant Chen Miya, the youngest in their trio.
"And why is she talking to those twins like they are her sisters?"
She couldn't help but get jealous after seeing Chen Miya talking to the twins. Ever since twins were assigned to her class, Chen Miya had to be clinging to those twins while ignoring them.
What she didn't know was that the twins were really like sisters to Chen Miya, and it wasn't her intention to ignore them.
"Uhm, Well, She is also abnormally kind"
"And that's how she is, don't you know already?"
Fu Ting looked at Chen Miya and spoke with a gentle smile. Her words annoyed Jin Ruolan but her lips twitched after hearing her next words.
"Of course, If those two were to hurt her, I would make sure to take care of them." As Fu Ting muttered these words, A bloody aura covered her body.
Bonk!
"Hey, You can't lose control here." Jin Ruolan picked up a notebook and banged it on her head.
"Ah!" Fu ting came back to her senses and rubbed her head clumsily.
In the corner of the room, Zhang Yufei let go of her sword after seeing this scene, and the way she looked at Fu Ting and Jin Ruolan changed.
'These two…. Where did they come from?'
'With their strength, I would have surely heard of them before' Sensing dangerous auras from the two, She asked herself with a doubtful face.
'Now I can accept all of us gathered here but why her?'
'I can't sense anything from her at all except that she is in ethereal apprentice second stage'
She turned her head and looked at Chen Miya who was talking to the twins casually as if they had known each other for a long time.
She was the weakest one among the students gathered in this classroom.
Meanwhile, Chen Miya was oblivious to the attention she was getting and gossiped with the twins.
"Qingyi, Do you know how dad—"
"Shush! You can't address him like that in the academy" Zhu Jia covered her mouth and warned her.
"Oh, I forgot. But do you know the reason the principal called us here?"
Seeing her unwillingness to call Yang Chen's principal, The twins had a headache, worrying she would reveal her identity when they weren't near her.
If someone with bad intentions were to know about her identity as the principal's daughter, It would be a disaster, and it would be the end of her normal school life. That's why Zhu Jia warned her strictly because she lived that way before.
While Zhu Jia spoke with Chen Miya, Xie Qingyi observed the other students with an amusing smile.
It seems like she already figured out why her master gathered them here. Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the room, and the next moment, Yang Chen stood by the door and asked with a satisfied smile after seeing that all of them were there.
"I am not late, am I?"
"Daddy!"
After seeing him, Chen Miya's habits came out, and she immediately called him out—jumping into his arms. Witnessing this scene, Yao Mei, who was standing behind Yang Chen and the twins, patted their forehead.
"D-daddy…?" Jin Ruolan had a shocked face after hearing how Chen Miya addressed the principal. To confirm it wasn't her ears playing tricks on her, She turned over and looked at Fu Ting.
Seeing the shocked face on her face, She couldn't believe it was true.
In the corner, Zhang Yufei's eyes were cold after seeing this scene. She didn't know how they were called here nor did she care now.
'Was she called here just because she is his daughter?'
However, she didn't rush to the conclusion and waited patiently to confirm her guess.
...…..
"Girl, Didn't I tell you not to call me dad when there are students around us?" Yang Chen asked with a stern face, but there was no anger to be seen on his face.
"T-that's….." Realizing what she had done, her face turned pale, and she looked at her mother's increasingly angry face from the corner of her eyes.
"M-mom—" In a state of panic, her tongue slipped once again, and she shocked others with another fact.
"Student Miya, How about you come with me for a minute?"
YaMeiei reached out her hand, wanting to grab her hand and get her out of there before she spilled everything.
"Ah! Dad, Save me, Mom is going to beat me"
"Student Miya, Come with me at once"
With that, two of them circled Yang Chen, and witnessing this scene, Zhu Jia held her forehead and signed with a hopeless face.
"Didn't I say before that she would blow her cover within a week?" Xie Qingyi observed the scene with a calm face as if she had already expected this to happen.
The ones who were truly shocked were Zhang Yufei, Fu Ting, and Jin Ruolan.
"Didn't She say her father was just a poor village chief?" Fu Ting asked in an unbelievable tone.
"And about her mother, Didn't she say that she was a housewife?" Jin Ruolan's lips twitched speechlessly after knowing that she lied about her parents.
Cough!
"That's enough, you two" Looking at the student's shocked expressions, Yang chen coughed and stopped the two of them.
"P-principal, are you really chen miya's father?"
Jin Ruolan mustered up her courage and asked with a flustered face, unlike her usual carefree and strong-headed attitude.
"Well, Since you have seen it all, I guess there's no point in hiding it." Hearing her words, He glared at Yao Mei and his daughter and began to speak.
"As you can see, We are a family"
"She is my daughter"
"She is my wife"
As he introduced himself, he hugged Yao Mei and rubbed Chen Miya's head with a doting smile. Before they could ask other questions, He spoke again.
"Now that I introduced myself, How about you take your seats first?"
......…
After a couple of minutes, Yang Chen stood beside the board and looked at the students gathered in the room. When he gave the speech a few days ago, He used God's wisdom to check out the talents and aptitude of the students.
In the past, thousands of students were enrolled every year and only 40% of students could make it to the second year.
In the third year, only 150 will remain, and they will be the ones to graduate from the academy.
Compared to the other two academies in the Ghost Human Kingdom, Eternal Dawn Academy's graduation rate is ridiculously low.
That's why people nowadays join the academy controlled by the underworld trade union where people can even buy grades if they have money.
Most of the men join the academy of abyssal fiends. Losing their manhood wasn't compulsory to join the academy, but the ones who gave up their manhood are always favored by the professors and sometimes, even recruited as Abyssal fiend members.
Currently, The eternal dawn academy has lost its peak glory, and the number of students joining has been reducing every year.
Because of these reasons, Yang chen didn't have much hope for the students, as he was pretty sure that the talented students were snatched and recruited by the underworld trade union academy.
But he was able to find three promising prospects among the students excluding her daughter and the twins.
Zhang Yufei, Jin Roulan and Fu ting.
To his pleasant surprise, two of them were friends with his daughter, Zhang Yufei was the niece of the city lord, and….all of them had A-rank talent or AA-rank talents.
"Do you want to know why I called all of you here?" He asked everyone and looked at them, wanting to hear their thoughts.
