The students who were preparing to sign up also stood up at this time, getting ready to head to the office.

Brian Carter's front-row classmate, David Clark, also stood up at this moment.

At the nearby desk, the one called Jason Bolton—the student who revealed the news about Little Ma breaking through to the eighth rank two days ago—also stood up now.

Just as the two were about to step forward, Brian Carter leisurely stood up.

His deskmate, Ethan Brooks, looked a bit dazed and turned his head, asking, “Going to the bathroom?”

“To sign up.”

“……”

Ethan Brooks was stunned. Brian Carter wants to sign up?

Not just Ethan Brooks, even David Clark couldn’t help but turn around to look at Brian Carter, exclaiming, “Brian Carter, you’re signing up too?”

This guy didn’t sound malicious, but he was clearly shocked by what Brian Carter said, and his voice wasn’t quiet.

As soon as he said this, quite a few students looked over.

After being classmates for several years, everyone more or less knew the situation of the others in the class.

It’s not that Brian Carter couldn’t sign up, but with Brian Carter’s small frame…

Actually, Brian Carter was a bit sturdier than Ethan Brooks, but compared to David Clark in the front row, there was no comparison.

The written and professional exams were one thing, but could Brian Carter pass the physical and practical tests?

Just as David Clark finished being surprised, Jason Bolton next to him clicked his tongue and said, “Brian Carter, you’re something else, sneaky! You never join us for after-school workouts, but I bet you’ve been practicing a lot at home. You’re too sneaky!”

Jason Bolton said this in an exaggerated way, but there was no mockery in his tone. He just felt that Brian Carter had been hiding his abilities well. Without some confidence, with Brian Carter’s family situation, would he really be willing to waste ten thousand yuan on the registration fee?

Brian Carter didn’t mind and grinned, “Don’t overthink it, I’m naturally gifted—why would I need extra practice?

I’ve thought it through. Isn’t it just ten thousand yuan?

If I don’t try, how will I know if I can get in? Maybe they’ll suddenly expand enrollment this year, and then I’ll really hit the jackpot.”

“Hahaha, you wish!”

Jason Bolton burst out laughing, but as soon as Brian Carter finished speaking, some of the other students who hadn’t planned to sign up started to feel tempted.

What Brian Carter said actually made some sense.

Who knows if they’ll expand enrollment this year?

In previous years, only two or three students from No. 1 High School got into the martial arts program each year, but last year, five made it.

This year, maybe there’ll be even more?

Still, since they hadn’t planned to sign up, there were reasons for it. Brian Carter’s words only stirred things up a bit and didn’t actually change anyone’s mind.

Ethan Brooks, his deskmate, had a complicated look in his eyes. Even though signing up didn’t mean you’d get in,

Brian Carter’s family was even worse off than his. If even Brian Carter dared to try, yet he didn’t even have the thought, it made him feel like he didn’t even have the courage to try.

He gripped his pen a little tighter, but in the end, Ethan Brooks still didn’t change his mind.

Even if he signed up, his chances of getting in were even slimmer than Brian Carter’s.

Rather than wasting time on this, he might as well put more effort into his liberal arts studies.

……

Brian Carter naturally wasn’t in the mood to care about what the others in the class were thinking.

He left the classroom with the other students who were signing up, and together they headed to the homeroom teacher’s office upstairs.

In Senior 3 (Class 4), there weren’t many students planning to sign up.

After all, the odds were too low. Some students who clearly didn’t meet the hard requirements naturally wouldn’t sign up.

In the end, only eight people walked out of the classroom together.

Even so, this was already a high registration rate for an ordinary class in recent years. If it weren’t for the two students from last year’s ordinary class who got into the martial arts program as examples, having four or five from an ordinary class would already be pretty good.

At some regular high schools, there were only a handful of students in the whole school signing up.

Brian Carter glanced over the students walking with him. Sure enough, they were the top students in the class.

Not only were they top in academics, but more importantly, they were all in good shape—each one well-built.

Even David Clark, the bearded guy, might not have been outstanding academically, but he wasn’t bad either, otherwise he wouldn’t be signing up.

There were also two girls among them. Although they weren’t stunningly beautiful, their figures looked pretty good.

Compared to the beanpoles in the class who hadn’t fully developed yet, these two girls had been eating well and training hard for the martial arts exam, with curvy figures. David Clark and Jason Bolton next to Brian Carter kept sneaking glances at them.

Except for Brian Carter, the others were actually quite familiar with each other.

Preparing for the martial arts exam wasn’t something you could do overnight. Whenever they had time in the evenings, they’d work out together, and a few had even signed up for off-campus martial arts prep classes together.

Brian Carter was the one who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

At this moment, everyone wasn’t interested in the others, but they were all quite curious about Brian Carter.

Of the two girls that David Clark and the others were eyeing, one of them kept glancing at Brian Carter, and after walking for a while, couldn’t help but ask, “Brian Carter, what’s your vitality level?”

“Huh?”

Brian Carter didn’t really know how to answer. Could he say his vitality was 1.1?

The key was, he didn’t know how it was measured in real life, or what units were used.

Luckily, before Brian Carter could answer, David Clark cut in with a laugh, “Zhang Nan, I bet Brian Carter has never even had it checked. If he had, he would’ve told us long ago.”
