I Am Not The Machine King

Chapter 29: Graduation, Farewell

Three days later, the campus of Qingshan Diyi Middle School was in full swing.

All kinds of good news spread throughout the campus. By the time Lin Yuan and Wu Di returned to the campus, their reputations were completely different from before.

"Hello, Senior Wu."

"Hello, Senior Lin."

"Hello!"

Seeing the pretty little junior sisters greet him, Wu Di was a little smug and responded enthusiastically.

In the past three days, after reviewing the exam results and confirming that there were no mistakes, the freshmen filled out their applications on the martial arts website.

They had returned to school to participate in the graduation ceremony. They would also receive their graduation certificates and files. These were all to be handed over to the martial arts academy.

In front of the dojo, a large group of people gathered together, and their discussions resounded throughout the sky.

"Military academy?"

"F*ck, Jiang Yining, Lin Yuan, and Wu Di all want to enroll in the military academy!"

"It's rare for geniuses like them to apply for military academy..."

"I can understand Lin Yuan, but I can't understand the other two."

Seeing that Wu Di and Lin Yuan had arrived, many people made way for them while their eyes filled with respect.

The large red posters outside the dojo were all good news.

Lin Yuan looked intently.

The 134th College Entrance Exam of our school had a large-scale harvest. 98 students were admitted to the top five martial arts academies, setting a record high.

Good News (3)

Our school...

Good News (10)

A full list of candidates from the Martial Arts Department:

1: Lu Kai [Dongdu College]

2: Jiang Yuxuan [Clear Sky College]

...

5: Jiang Yining [Tianshui Military Academy]

...

7: Wu Di [Tianshui Military Academy]

...

12: Lin Yuan [Tianshui Military Academy]

...

When he saw Jiang Yining's name, Lin Yuan was stunned at first. Then, he turned his head to look at Wu Di.

Lin Yuan could see that Wu Di's expression had undergone an extremely complicated change within five seconds.

Then, he excitedly grabbed Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan!"

"Stop! Stop! It hurts, brother!"

"Jiang Yining is going to the military academy!"

"I saw it. It hurts!"

Lin Yuan used all his strength to push Wu Di's hands away.

Wu Di and Lin Yuan did not usually put on airs. Therefore, classmates in the same grade were more familiar with them.

Many students teased Wu Di.

"Wu Di! I'll be waiting for your wedding when I come back next time!"

"Haha!"

"Oh!"

"You guys have agreed to apply for the military academy, right? Lin Yuan, you seem a little redundant."

"Hahaha!"

In the face of everyone's teasing, Wu Di did not care at all as his skin was thicker than a city wall.

He kept shaking his head and sighing as he bragged to a few of his classmates.

"Sure, sure, sure."

"Sigh, a man like me who is handsome and talented. Hmm, perhaps this is fate."

"A golden couple is matched just like that, you say..."

"Sigh..."

Wu Di was immersed in the beautiful world that he imagined.

Suddenly, he realized that the atmosphere outside the dojo had gradually calmed down. Li Yun, who was in front of him, kept blinking his eyes at him.

"Li Yun, don't you think so?"

"What's wrong with your eyes? Are you not feeling well?"

Wu Di asked in puzzlement.

Lin Yuan, who was looking at the list of candidates for the Martial Arts Department, felt that the atmosphere was strange. He turned his head and looked back.

The moment he saw Jiang Yining, goosebumps rose all over his body in a short period of time.

"Brother..."

"Take care."

Lin Yuan gave Wu Di a sympathetic look and silently turned his head away.

Wu Di gradually felt a chill on his back.

His head was like a robot as he turned his head away bit by bit while continuously swallowing his saliva.

Halfway through, Jiang Yining crossed her hands and looked at Wu Di with a smile.

Wu Di's legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell down.

"Excuse me."

"Ah... Oh..."

Wu Di was almost dragged to the side. The entire dojo was unprecedentedly quiet.

Even if there were brothers who wanted to laugh, they would not dare to laugh here.

Jiang Yining glanced at the name list and saw that Lin Yuan and Wu Di had both applied for the military academy. She was a little surprised.

Then, she walked into the dojo as if nothing had happened.

As soon as Jiang Yining left, wild laughter erupted outside the dojo like a tsunami!

"Hahahahahaha..."

"D*mn, Wu Di, just confess your love! What are you waiting for!"

"That's right, what are you afraid of when your brothers are backing you up! Stand tall!"

"Scram, scram, scram! All of you, scram!"

Wu Di's face turned pale.

He felt that the perfect image that he had painstakingly built in front of Jiang Yining... had collapsed.

Seeing Wu Di's "murderous" gaze, Lin Yuan was very innocent. He pointed at the name list and said, "I really didn't see her."

"You can't blame me for that..."

"I'm very sorry for your unfortunate encounter."

Wu Di gritted his teeth. "Then why are you laughing?"

Lin Yuan tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"Laughing?"

"Did I?"

Everyone shouted, "No! No!"

"Who laughed just now?"

"Who dares to laugh at my Brother Wu?"

...

Graduation ceremony.

Clap, clap, clap...

Wu Di listened to the principal's graduation speech in a daze and clapped mechanically.

In just two short minutes, he experienced the great joy and sorrow of his life.

He hid in his own world alone.

On the other side, Fang Zixin asked, "Hey, Lin Yuan, when are you leaving?"

"I remember that the military academy needs you to report earlier than us, right?"

Fang Zixin chose to apply for one of the five major martial arts academies, Binghai College in the end. That could be considered to have completed his basic goal.

Lin Yuan nodded. "Yeah, we'll be leaving in four days."

Song Cheng, who was around them, was also surprised, "So soon?!"

"Yeah."

A regular Tianshui Army team had come to supervise the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination in Qingshan City.

All the examinees who applied for the military academy in Qingshan City would leave in the morning for the legendary Tianshui Military Academy four days later.

As for the other academies, the registration time was half a month later.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're going to suffer."

"Good luck."

"Let's meet again later."

Fang Zixin and Lin Yuan hugged each other.

Although the Tianshui Military Academy was not as famous as the five great academies, the geniuses in it were definitely not weaker than those in the top five colleges.

One could imagine the intensity of training the Tianshui soldiers.

They were all trained with vicious killing techniques!

When the Tianshui soldiers of the same level fought against the geniuses of the top five colleges, the former would definitely win.

"I don't know when we will meet again."

"Good luck."

"Yup, work hard."

A few brothers sent their blessings one after another.

They had already eaten the farewell dinner the day before. At this moment, they had to go their separate ways.

"Let's go, Wu Di. Let's say goodbye to Elder Yang."

Lin Yuan pulled Wu Di up and said goodbye to everyone. Then, they went to the Basic Martial Arts dojo.

In the past few years, Lin Yuan had stayed here longer than he had in the classroom.

To Elder Yang, Lin Yuan was the best disciple he had ever taught. It was not easy to part with four years of affection.

"Keep up the good work."

"Make a name for yourself."
