“It looks like I still need to put in some effort here. At the very least, I have to get through the first three rounds before I can even think about what comes next.”

Brian Carter was lost in thought as everyone arrived at the office door.

Chapter 10: Qi and Blood Check

Inside the office.

Paying the fee, registering, and filling out the application form—the process was very simple.

When no one was paying attention, Brian Carter did another experiment, casually touching the registration fees handed in by a few other students.

As expected, his wealth value did not increase.

Brian Carter had already anticipated this, so he wasn’t disappointed.

There weren’t many people, so the registration was finished quickly.

The homeroom teacher collected the students’ application forms, glanced over the eight people in front of him—these were Class (4)’s hopes for the martial arts exam this year.

The homeroom teacher already knew about the others; the only exception was Brian Carter.

As Brian Carter’s homeroom teacher, Eric Carter had also attended parent-teacher meetings, so Andrew Turner was aware of the Carter family’s situation.

But every year at this time, there were always students who wanted to take a chance—unexpected, yet reasonable.

Putting these thoughts aside, Andrew Turner said, “The day after tomorrow, on the 9th, James Miller from Nanjiang Martial Arts University will return to school to answer your pre-exam questions. You should all know about this, so remember to attend.”

Everyone nodded quickly. Having a senior share their experience was still somewhat helpful.

“At that time, the school will also distribute the detailed martial arts exam schedule and various important notes. Be sure to read them carefully.”

Although Andrew Turner was their homeroom teacher, the class, as a group for general students, mainly focused on teaching liberal arts. Martial arts was only briefly mentioned.

However, the school had martial arts training classes, and there were also martial arts tutoring classes outside of school—these were the real focus for martial arts students.

Most of the others had attended classes or even hired private martial arts tutors.

Among everyone, Andrew Turner glanced around and figured that only Brian Carter hadn’t attended.

There was no need to ask; if he had, Brian Carter would have mentioned it, and his father wouldn’t have failed to bring it up at the parent-teacher meeting.

With a slight sigh, Andrew Turner suddenly stood up, squatted down, and opened the drawer of his desk.

After a moment, Andrew Turner stood up, holding a thick stack of books, and placed them on the desk, saying to Brian Carter, “See if there’s anything you need. The other students have all attended the school’s martial arts training classes and already have these materials. If you’re missing anything, take a look first.”

Brian Carter was a little surprised, but this was exactly what he needed right now. He quickly said, “Thank you, teacher!”

Andrew Turner didn’t make a big deal out of it. Although these materials weren’t cheap—even buying them outside would cost several hundred yuan—for students from poor families, he didn’t mind lending a helping hand.

Seeing Brian Carter happily accept and hug all the materials to his chest, Andrew Turner couldn’t help but laugh.

Judging by this, the kid was probably really unprepared; otherwise, there was no need to take some of the more common books.

Although he no longer had high hopes for Brian Carter, as the homeroom teacher, Andrew Turner hesitated for a moment, then turned to George Wright and said, “Brian Carter doesn’t know as much about the martial arts exam as you all do, and he hasn’t mastered much of the specialized knowledge. It’s probably too difficult to finish all these books now. George Wright, do you think you could make a copy of your specialized exam notes for Brian Carter?”

Compared to the books, the notes taken by martial arts students preparing for the exam were even more effective!

The key points and summaries—these were all compiled by the students themselves.

George Wright was the top student in Class (4) and had the best chance of passing the martial arts exam.

Reviewing with his notes could save a lot of time and effort.

But notes were personal property; even the homeroom teacher couldn’t force anyone to share, only ask.

Originally, Brian Carter was already very grateful that the teacher had given him the books. He hadn’t expected the teacher to ask George Wright to copy his notes for him.

In his previous life, his homeroom teacher was also a good teacher, but since Brian Carter’s grades were average, he didn’t have much interaction with the teacher.

He hadn’t expected the homeroom teacher to be even more responsible than he’d imagined.

It wasn’t the teacher’s fault that Brian Carter himself wasn’t prepared; giving him the books was already going above and beyond, and now the teacher was even proactively helping him get the notes.

Before George Wright could respond, Brian Carter quickly said, “Mr. Liu, that’s not necessary…”

Before he could finish, George Wright smiled and said, “It’s fine, I’ll make a copy for you later. It’s not a big deal. To be honest, whether you’ll even need them is another question.”

George Wright wasn’t worried about discouraging Brian Carter. In fact, everyone knew that even George Wright himself wasn’t sure he’d make it to the fourth round—the specialized exam.

Since the homeroom teacher had asked, George Wright didn’t want to refuse.

Since George Wright had said so, Brian Carter didn’t insist and quickly thanked him.

Indeed, looking at the huge pile of books and materials in his hands, Brian Carter felt overwhelmed.

Being able to borrow George Wright’s notes would let him know what to focus on for the exam, so he wouldn’t be completely lost and have to read everything.

With these matters settled, the registration was finished.
