Chapter 102 School
Today is Children's Day, and Li Chenglong contacted Yunlan last night. All children under 14 will receive a small gift today, including snacks, a jacket, and school supplies. However, although Shuguang City has a population of 15,000 to 16,000, there aren't many children, only about 700 to 800. Those under 20 years old only make up 30% of the total population; the majority are young adults. For children without parents or relatives, Li Chenglong has assigned special personnel to manage them, striving to make each one feel at home.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Chenglong arrived at the school for people with special abilities to observe the day's exams for those with special abilities. The exams tested individuals based on their individual abilities and were divided into two age groups: 7 to 10 years old and 11 to 14 years old. Before he even reached the school gate, the entire faculty and student body were already waiting there, some holding banners that read, "Welcome City Lord Li Chenglong for your guidance." Under the watchful eyes of the entire school, Li Chenglong slowly rode over on a bicycle. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he was surrounded by more than fifty students. The students chattered excitedly around Li Chenglong, and he shook hands and greeted each of them.
Principal Zhao Lan of the Superpowered Children's School smiled and said, "You, the honorary principal, haven't been here recently, and the students miss you very much." Li Chenglong smiled awkwardly, "I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to come. Today is Children's Day, and it's also the day these superpowered children take their exams, so I had to come." Zhao Lan is both the principal and a teacher. The children at the Superpowered Children's School learn academic knowledge in the morning and superpowered combat skills and applications in the afternoon.
Upon entering the school, Li Chenglong first inspected the student and faculty dormitories, then visited the classrooms and training areas where the children studied. He said with satisfaction, "These children are the future of our Shuguang City. We must do our best in both their lives and studies, strengthen their ideological and cultural development, improve their manners, and absolutely not allow bullying. You teachers should also pay more attention to this." Zhao Lan and the other three teachers nodded in agreement.
The exam began at 8:00 AM. A total of 58 students with special abilities were divided into several groups based on age and ability. Each group underwent testing, and several teachers scored them. After the first stage of the exam, the combat phase began. Again, students were divided into age groups, but regardless of their abilities, they engaged in one-on-one battles by drawing lots. Rankings were then determined, and points were awarded based on those rankings. Li Chenglong watched the entire process with great interest, frequently applauding and cheering for the children's performance. An hour and a half later, the scores for all 58 students were presented to Li Chenglong.
He took the book and began to read it carefully. Each of the 58 students' scores and usual performance were written on a single page—58 pages in total. Li Chenglong flipped through them one by one, occasionally making notes in his notebook. Han Xiaoling was ranked first overall, which didn't surprise Li Chenglong. As a Level 2 Awakened, Han Xiaoling far surpassed the others in both the ability test and combat, and her academic performance was also very high, ranking second out of the 58. Zhao Lan was beside him, and she provided detailed information about each student as Li Chenglong turned each page. He was very satisfied with Zhao Lan, the principal and teacher; her detailed knowledge of each student showed that she truly cared about them.
After reviewing the results, Li Chenglong gathered the students together: "Students, I've seen all your grades, and Principal Zhao has told me a lot about your situations. Some of you are already qualified to graduate according to our standards, congratulations! Those of you who haven't graduated yet, don't be discouraged. You are still young, and there's a long time ahead of you. Here's some good news for you all: after discussion, Dawn City has decided to establish the Dawn Youth Vanguard Team, composed of graduates like you and graduates from regular schools. For those who don't want to join the Youth League but are interested in other fields, we also have departments that can provide you with learning opportunities. For those who want to continue learning academic subjects, such as advanced mathematics or electronics, we don't have the resources yet, but we guarantee you'll have opportunities for further study when they become available."
Cheers and applause erupted from the audience, lasting for a long time. Li Chenglong gestured for a moment to quiet down, then said, "To encourage the outstanding students, we will now distribute the awards. Please come up in order when your names are called. First place: Han Xiaoling; second place: Qi Xiangsheng; third place:..." After the awards were distributed, Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged if you didn't receive an award. Keep trying! I have a consolation prize." He then took out some Want Want gift packs from his storage space and gave one to each student who didn't receive an award. Finally, he said, "The logistics department will also distribute Children's Day awards. You can collect them on the first floor of the Shuguang Building with your ID cards. One award per person. Okay, I have to go to another school this afternoon, so I'm leaving now." With that, he got on his bicycle and rode towards the Shuguang Building.
After Li Chenglong left, Zhao Lan said excitedly, "To all the students who have graduated starting today, you must seize this opportunity with the Dawn Youth Group. The age limit at our school for those with supernatural abilities is 14, meaning the oldest among you is 14. I don't know if you know Chen Xiaoke, he's only 15 or 16, and he's already a member of the Dawn City Logistics Department. You are all my students. Although we haven't known each other for long, only three months, I truly treat each of you like my own child. Please work hard and make a name for yourselves under Lord Li's leadership. Graduated students, don't forget to continue learning, whether it's academic knowledge or knowledge about supernatural abilities. Learning is endless; strive to improve every day. Those who haven't graduated yet, please take them as role models and study hard. Our school is temporarily closed starting today, and classes will resume on August 15th. Please report on time then, and come to my place later to collect your summer homework."
The compound is where children without parents or relatives live. Under Li Chenglong's instructions, the compound was built very well, with professional staff managing it, as well as psychological counselors and life teachers, so that everyone can feel the warmth of home. Li Chenglong would sometimes go to the compound to see how they were living.
In the afternoon, Li Chenglong visited the ordinary people's school, which had over 1000 students of all grades, ranging in age from 7 to 17. The school taught elementary, middle, and high school courses, and the teachers were all professionally recruited from among the survivors. This afternoon was the middle school's final exam, and Li Chenglong toured the exam hall. He also inspected the student dormitories, canteen, and other facilities, pointing out any shortcomings he felt were inadequate. At 5 PM, before leaving, Li Chenglong told the students about the establishment of the Young Pioneers, which received a positive response.
