“Jessica Miller... is a girl? Just hearing the name, it doesn’t sound impressive. She’s probably one of the worst in the entrance exam...” Seeing the first name on the list, Steven Wright let out a cold snort.

Not just anyone can get into Hongtian Academy. To enter, you first have to pass the entrance assessment. The academy ranks them based on their results, and only those who meet the qualifications are admitted.

Those who rank high in the entrance assessment are basically the ones excellent teachers fight over. Each is very well-known, and it seems there isn’t anyone called Jessica Miller among them.

“Mr. Wright, keep looking...” Before Steven Wright could finish speaking, he heard a slightly trembling voice from a teacher beside him.

“What’s wrong? Could it be even worse than what I said?”

With a cold laugh, Steven Wright looked down. After just one glance, his pupils involuntarily contracted. He saw that after Jessica Miller’s name, there was a detailed note about her: “67th in the new student entrance assessment, younger sister of elder student Eric Miller, heiress of the Wang family, one of the four great families of Tianxuan City!”

“Wang family heiress? Eric Miller’s younger sister?” Steven Wright gasped.

In the Tianxuan Kingdom, there are four great families, and the Wang family is one of them. The heiress of this family actually chose this guy, who ranked last in the teacher assessment, as her mentor? Is this for real?

Shouldn’t people like her be apprenticed to Brian Carter, Daniel Miller, or someone like that?

If just the family background was intimidating, what made him even more desperate was this Jessica Miller’s brother, Eric Miller!

A new student from two years ago, he ranked in the top ten in the comprehensive evaluation every year after entering, an absolute powerhouse. This year, he was even chosen by an academy elder as a personal disciple!

With a brother that talented, how could the sister be any worse?

She has influence, talent, and a great brother, yet she actually chose this guy as her mentor?

Am I blind? Did I read it wrong?

Steven Wright felt as if thunder was rumbling in his head, and he was about to faint.

“Look further down...”

Just as he was twitching all over, unable to believe it, another teacher called out in a trembling voice.

“Getting a single Jessica Miller is already a stroke of luck for him. I don’t believe he could get anyone even more impressive...” Gritting his teeth, Steven Wright continued down the list. As soon as his eyes landed on another name, his whole body trembled again, and his vision went black.

“Emily Clark? Emily Clark, who ranked seventh in the grade assessment? The heiress of the City Lord of Baiyu City?”

Steven Wright was on the verge of tears.

He had just said he didn’t believe this guy could recruit anyone more impressive, but to his shock, there really was... And not just anyone, but a super genius that countless teachers went crazy for!

He’d heard of this Emily Clark even before she arrived—daughter of the City Lord of Baiyu City, not only beautiful but also extremely talented!

People like her are fought over by all the top-ranked teachers. How could she choose this loser?

Impossible, impossible!

Forcing himself to stay calm, he looked further down. Jason Harris, Matthew Reed—these two might not be very famous, but in the new student entrance assessment, their rankings weren’t low; both were in the top hundred!

Especially Matthew Reed, who was said to be skilled with the spear. During the assessment, he didn’t get a chance to show his skills, which is why his ranking was lower. If he’d been allowed to use his spear, he might have even made it into the top twenty!

After carefully reading the list of these four several times, Steven Wright and the other teachers all felt like they were going crazy.

This just doesn’t make sense!

“You must have used some kind of trickery. Even though they’ve acknowledged you as their mentor, they don’t know who you really are. Once they find out, they’ll drop your class in no time...”

Suddenly, Steven Wright roared, his face twisted with rage.

Someone who scored zero in the teacher assessment—what right does he have to recruit such outstanding students? He must have used some underhanded, despicable means. Once these methods are exposed, these students will definitely leave in anger!

In other words, he really does have four students, but they won’t stay for long. Sooner or later, they’ll drop his class.

“Whether they drop the class or not is none of your business. The terms of our bet were whether I have students right now. Now that you’ve confirmed I have four students, isn’t it time to honor the bet?”

Not bothering to pay attention to their wild speculations and twisted faces, Michael Bolton said calmly.

Steven Wright, William Thompson, and the other two all looked as if they’d lost their parents.

The content of their bet was indeed whether he had students right now, not what would happen in the future.

By that logic, they’d lost!

But to admit defeat and be slapped by the worst teacher in the academy—there’s no way they could accept that!

“The bet? Kid, what if we don’t honor it?”

After a moment’s hesitation, Steven Wright sneered coldly, his fat face full of menace.

“That’s right, even if we don’t honor it, what can you do? Haha, want to beat us up? The question is, do you have the strength?”

“The worst teacher in the academy, with the lowest cultivation. You want to act tough in front of us? Believe it or not, the four of us could beat you to a pulp right now and no one would dare interfere?”

“If you stop acting tough, maybe you can stay in the academy a bit longer. Otherwise, you’ll be kicked out in no time and become a laughingstock!”

William Thompson and the others instantly understood Steven Wright’s meaning and sneered in unison.

Michael Bolton wasn’t just bad in the teacher assessment—his cultivation was also among the lowest of all the teachers. Even if he wasn’t dead last, he was close!
