Chapter 462: Handwriting

It was already evening when the president came back. He smiled wryly as he explained to Xiao Lin that there were a lot of trivial matters in each year in the new semester, on top of the education reform. It was not just for the freshman year; a few seniors had to prepare for internships in the New World. As the president, he had to attend a bunch of meetings all day long.

However, he stopped mid-explanation as he noticed Xiao Lin’s strange mood. The president could not help but express his concern, but he did not get any response. Xiao Lin could only smile and mutter that he felt a little tired.

“Did you find anything?” the president could only ask.

Xiao Lin shook his head, and laughed bitterly. “I have looked through almost all of Wang Dalin’s extracurricular surveillance records. I don’t think there was any suspicious opportunity for him to be exposed to forbidden techniques. Looking at probability, perhaps it was the time spent in the library?”

The president looked at Bell. The little girl was sitting on thin air. She curled her mouth and said, “I already pulled up all relevant borrowing records for you.”

The president nodded. “I trust in our library. It’s impossible for any prohibited books to appear inside.”

Xiao Lin cleared up his mood and said, “Actually, I don’t think there were any omissions in the management of the academy. But, President, do you think there are loopholes in our initial ideas? Wang Dalin may not have learned the forbidden technique in the academy.”

The president’s baby-face was slightly taken aback, and he understood what he meant. He frowned. “Do you mean on Earth? How is that possible?”

Xiao Lin spread his arms open. “This is not something I know. I wonder if the academy monitors the students that return to Earth?”

“It’s currently impossible to achieve that sort of all-around surveillance. However, if you use abilities that transcend the rules on the plane of Earth, it will definitely be detected. Mao Tianying of the Earth Division has never reached out to me, and I believe that he wouldn’t hide anything from me.”

“But wasn’t there an accident on Earth last time?” Xiao Lin blinked and continued to refute. “Regarding the Pacific Ocean matter, I don’t know much about the battle, but if someone took the opportunity to do something at that time, I believe it would be difficult for the Earth Division to monitor it, right?”

The president’s frown deepened and murmured to himself, “You’re right, but who would possess a forbidden technique? And why would they choose to teach it to Wang Dalin specifically?”

Nevertheless, Xiao Lin’s reminder gave the president no choice but to consider the possibility of investigating the matter on Earth. However, this was not something that Xiao Lin could take care of, and the president understood this. He let Xiao Lin leave after thanking him for the day’s efforts.

“You really hold him in high regard. In the entire academy, only a select few can come and go freely from this office,” Bell said abruptly after waiting for Xiao Lin to walk away.

“The dean values him,” said the president, without looking back.

“He begged me to pull up his admissions notice today,” Bell said casually. She behaved very casually in front of the president.

The president was not surprised. “The head of recruitment told me a few days ago that there was a woman who also wanted to check his admissions notice file. I bet it was also requested by Xiao Lin.”

Bell changed her posture mid-air, letting her white feet dangle enticingly. However, the baby-faced president continued to ignore it, which made her quite dissatisfied. She pouted and provocatively asked, “The dean once ordered that his admissions notice be permanently sealed and encrypted. Aren’t you curious about the reason?”

“I trust the dean’s decision.” The president’s tone did not change at all.

“You are the same as that old dean–so boring. I don’t believe you haven’t investigated. With your authority as president, you should be able to find out. In the pre-admission list issued by the Admissions Department to the student union, there was absolutely no information about Xiao Lin.”

The president finally turned his head, his kind gaze becoming rather sharp. He warned in a low voice, “Speak of this matter here and forget it. Neither I nor the dean wants anyone else to know about this.”

“Okay, okay, you’re not that old fart, so don’t use that look to scare me.” The girl smiled, unfazed, and continued, “And, you know, not many people in this academy know that I exist. Who can I tell anyway?”

There was a short silence.

The president could not help but speak again. “Today, he asked you to help investigate his admissions notice. Did you guys find anything?”

“Hahaha!” Bell immediately laughed exaggeratedly. “I thought you really didn’t care about anything! In fact, you’re also very curious. I studied human psychology in the library database; curiosity is in human nature!”

“Fine, fine, even I can’t avoid it.” The president was also quite helpless with this girl, “So, can you tell me the answer now?”

“I don’t know.”

“…”

“Don’t give me that look! I’m serious!” Bell smiled slightly, and continued seriously. “After Xiao Lin looked at his admissions notice, uh, how should I say this, he looked weird. But I can’t tell what was weird, I think he suddenly understood something. But frankly, I have read through his admissions notice thousands of times, but I really can’t see anything unusual.”

The president was stuck, and after a long time, he sighed, “Xiao Lin is now an indispensable student of Dawn Academy, and his significance to the academy will be even greater in the future. It doesn’t matter how he got in; the dean’s approach is correct. This was to not give the military a chance to poke holes, and also for Xiao Lin’s protection.”

Xiao Lin did not eat his dinner right away after got back. He bumped into Chen Dao and the others on his way back, who very enthusiastically invited him to the cafeteria. However, he politely declined them. After arriving in the dormitory, he shut himself in his room, searched for a sheet of paper, and scribbled line after line profusely.

After he finished writing, he looked through it for a long time, and then he said, “F*ck me!” He then tore up the paper and looked for a fresh paper to continue writing. After writing, he looked through it, tore up the paper again, and continued writing…

It was like this for the whole night, until he was exhausted. Xiao Lin stared at the confetti all over the floor, his face was incredulous.

He was neither crazy nor stupid. He was just constantly comparing his handwriting. Earlier, when he finally got Bell to pull up his notice file, the appearance of the notice, including all its production materials, did not look any different from other notices. However, what was strange was that all the words on the notice were handwritten. Wang Yuelan and Bell confirmed to him that admissions notices were all printed electronically. It was impossible to write them manually.

What shook Xiao Lin to the core, to the point that he was not able to calm down, was that the handwriting on the admissions notice clearly belonged to him!
