In Denton’s opinion, Viola Thompson didn’t have any real talents.
A Sinian.
Even if she could pass the first assessment relying on her cleverness and brute strength, it didn’t mean that she could pass the written exams later on.
After all,
The written exams included Morse Code and international-level math Olympiad questions.
These tests were not something that could be passed by using simple cleverness.
Principal Thompson, with his profound thoughts, knew that Denton had always looked down on him, but he didn’t stoop to his level. He smiled and said, “What if I say that Viola will definitely pass the later assessments?”
“Principal Thompson, you might be overestimating her,” Denton said. “How about we make a bet?”
Yves Dinwoodie nodded, “What’s the bet?”
Hearing this, Vice Principal Denton squinted, “How about betting on next year’s recommendation quota? If this Sinian can’t pass all the assessments smoothly, next year’s quota will be decided by me.”
“Alright.”
He didn’t hesitate at all.
He trusted Viola very much.
After all, not everyone could get a perfect score in the College Entrance Examination.
And it was a perfect score without any additional points.
“Are you sure, Principal Thompson?” Denton looked at Yves Dinwoodie.
Yves Dinwoodie laughed, “A gentleman’s word is his bond.”
After his words fell, he continued, “We Sinian people value trustworthiness the most.”
Hearing this sentence, Denton’s expression changed.
What did Principal Thompson mean?
Was he insinuating that the people of Country Polluton were untrustworthy?
Denton didn’t show his emotions and continued, “Verbal agreements are not reliable. How about we draw up a written agreement?”
“Sure.” Yves Dinwoodie nodded, and then changed the subject, “But if you lose, what will you do?”
He lose?
How could he lose!
Denton laughed, “Principal Thompson, you are being too confident.”
“It’s not that I’m confident,” Yves Dinwoodie said with a smile. “It’s that this child is worthy of my trust.”
With that, Yves Dinwoodie continued, “Vice Principal Denton, if you lose, how about canceling your recommendation quota?”
“Sure.” Denton nodded.
He was fearless.
Because Yves Dinwoodie was bound to lose this contest.
If he were Yves Dinwoodie, he would have never agreed to this contest.
It could be seen that,
The inherent nature of Sinian people was still arrogant and conceited.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been bullied so much throughout history.
Yves Dinwoodie indeed had strength.
But it was just strength, and nothing more.
Vice Principal Denton immediately printed out the written agreement, “Please have a look, if there’s no problem, please sign it.”
Yves Dinwoodie glanced through it quickly and signed.
Principal Denton held the agreement, still feeling uneasy. What if Yves Dinwoodie regretted it later?
“Principal Thompson, let’s go and have it notarized at the school’s notary office, shall we?”
Only after getting it notarized would Denton be at ease.
Yves Dinwoodie, of course, would accompany him till the end.
“Sure.”
The two headed towards the notary office.
…
The next morning.
Around six o’clock, Viola woke up on time according to her biological clock.
The sky was turning white like a fish belly.
Even though she was in the wild, Viola still maintained her habits from home. She freshened up quickly and started jogging around the campsite.
She also picked some wild fruits along the way.
One hour later.
The other members of the shelter woke up.
Toby and Annie were barbecuing meat.
Mila, York, and Puda were busy making tea.
Even in the wild, they wouldn’t compromise on their comfort.
“Viola!” Mila waved at Viola with a smile, “Come and have some tea, and then we can have breakfast.”
Viola smiled faintly and came over with the wild fruits.
Mila asked, “Viola, where did you pick these wild fruits?”
She was curious why Viola never came back empty-handed.
Viola was like an all-around superman.
Being with her, there was an inexplicable sense of security.
Mila was glad that she had chosen Viola as her teammate.
“By the creek, I tried one and it tasted pretty good. You can take them and share them with everyone.”
Viola couldn’t name the wild fruit either.
It was the same size as an apple.
It was very sweet, but the taste was completely different from an apple. Apparently, it was a special wild fruit from Nine Continent Island.
“Alright.”
Everyone had just eaten roasted pork, and the wild fruit was a perfect match to remove the greasy taste.
Mila ate the wild fruit while sharing it with everyone else.
Annie took the wild fruit handed over by Mila.
Her eyes showed an indescribable expression.
It was very unexpected.
Initially, she thought Viola would be a burden to the team.
But now what?
Not only did Viola not drag the team down, but she had also become the team’s hero.
