Zhang Feng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I'm not too sure about the details either. I just know that there was a major corruption case in education that had a particularly bad impact. Since then, when schools encounter applicants who are closely related, they only admit one of them. Her sister's grades should be relatively poor, so she couldn't compete with her, which is why she let her withdraw her application."
He realized that the relationship between the two sisters wasn't good, but he didn't expect it to be this bad. It was surprising that one daughter would sacrifice such an outstanding sibling for another who had poor grades.
Seeing that Bai Zhenzhen's emotions had calmed down a bit thanks to Meng Xingchen, Lin Yao cautiously suggested, "Zhenzhen, why don't you give your dad a call?"
"What’s there to ask? Isn’t it obvious that he wants me to make way for his precious daughter from that third party?"
It was better not to mention it, but as soon as she did, Bai Zhenzhen became agitated again.
"Zhenzhen, calm down."
"How can I calm down? My dad is willing to ruin me for another daughter! How can I possibly calm down?"
Bai Zhenzhen broke down in tears.
Seeing such a vulnerable side of Bai Zhenzhen was rare, and Lin Yao could only sigh and pat her on the head. "Don't rush. Since the situation has already unfolded, we need to resolve it."
"But the admission notices have already been sent out! How do we resolve this?"
Lin Yao patted her head again. "Don't be impulsive. First, ask your dad to clarify whether he really withdrew your application. There might be some hidden reasons."
Although Lin Yao didn't know exactly who Bai Zhenzhen's relatives were, she could guess from her daily conversations that her father was likely quite a successful person.
If he was indeed successful, it seemed unlikely he would make such a loss-making decision.
When Bai Zhenzhen contacted her relative, Lin Yao remembered what Assistant Yuan Bo had said before: if there was any issue, he could help.
Considering the connections between academia and education, she decided to muster up her courage and ask him.
"Yuan Bo, if someone's application file is withdrawn by someone else and the applicant hasn't received an admission notice yet before reapplying, is there any way to reapply in this situation?"
"Miss Lin, please hold on for a moment; I'll ask someone."
Lin Yao knew it might be a bit difficult for Yuan Bo to answer this question, but since she didn't know anyone else with influence, she had no choice but to trouble him.
After quite some time, Yuan Bo returned.
"In this situation, there's only one solution: the special admission route."
"Can you elaborate?"
Soon, Yuan Bo sent several documents to Lin Yao.
This special recruitment was initially aimed at those who only discovered their abilities after applying, particularly those with outstanding talents. The school couldn't bear to see these students waste several years in ordinary schools, so they specifically established this program. Over time, the policy was gradually relaxed; as long as students met the requirements of these schools, they could participate in the special recruitment exams at any time.
Since Bai Zhenzhen's sister had already been accepted into the Ability Institute, it was eliminated from consideration. Lin Yao reviewed the remaining schools and found their requirements to be quite stringent.
For instance, the special recruitment for the Pharmacy Department of the First Institute required candidates to awaken Wood, Healing, Water, or Psychic abilities. They needed to be capable of producing all basic potions and have their own independent research on potion development. Only those who met these criteria could take part in the special recruitment exams.
The special recruitment exams were divided into theoretical and practical components. The theoretical exam covered all potion-related content, with a perfect score being required to pass. The practical exam required candidates to survive independently in the wild for an entire day, kill a third-level beast, and use collected plants to create a finished potion.
Lin Yao looked at the requirements and thought it seemed less like an intermediate school exam and more like a graduation exam for advanced studies. The demands were incredibly harsh. After a brief glance, she handed the documents over to Bai Zhenzhen.
"Take a look for yourself and decide if you want to participate!"
After reading through it, Bai Zhenzhen broke down and cursed angrily, "That Bai Youyou! I swear, if I ever run into her again, I'll hit her every single time!"
Lin Yao watched her vent without rushing her. Once Bai Zhenzhen calmed down a bit, she asked, "So, do you want to take the exam?"
"Of course!" Bai Zhenzhen wiped her face and gritted her teeth.
"In that case, you might as well aim for the First Institute. We can all go together."
Bai Zhenzhen nodded in agreement.
With about ten days left before school started, Lin Yao added, "To catch up with us when school begins, you need to start some intense training now. Be prepared for some tough times ahead."
Hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen's face turned pale.
There are many crash courses available in the market for special recruitment exams, and Bai Zhenzhen, not short on money, had signed up for an expensive one-on-one training program. Her days were packed with intensive sessions on potion theory, potion preparation, ability training, physical training, wilderness survival techniques, and exotic beast knowledge. As she herself put it, she had never worked this hard even during her preliminary exams.
To alleviate her study pressure, Lin Yao took out a brain development potion from the system space and gave it to Bai Zhenzhen. It was said that drinking it could enhance intelligence, memory, and comprehension. Without a word, Bai Zhenzhen drank it down.
While Bai Zhenzhen was busy catching up on her studies, a visitor arrived at the small villa. Lin Yao was somewhat surprised by the visit but felt there was nothing particularly surprising about it.
"Hello, I am Bai Zhenzhen's relative, Bai Qisheng."
Lin Yao had only learned about his identity when there were issues with Bai Zhenzhen's admission from Meng Xingchen. Bai Qisheng, sixty-eight years old, was the head of the Bai Group, the largest enterprise on Bai Lu Star. He looked every bit the business elite in both attire and appearance.
Perhaps accustomed to being in power, he tried hard to appear amiable but still carried an air of authority that made him seem somewhat awkward.
Lin Yao chose to ignore this and calmly replied, "Hello, Mr. Bai. I am Captain Lin Yao of Bai Zhenzhen's team."
Bai Qisheng nodded, seemingly abandoning the friendly approach. His tone turned serious as he said, "Captain Lin, I know about you."
Lin Yao was not surprised. Since Bai Zhenzhen lived with them, Bai Qisheng would have thoroughly investigated the four members of their Mingguang team before coming.
The Lin family from Yunmeng Star—she had grown up with her uncle and aunt. Before the practical exam, she had been rather unremarkable and inconspicuous. However, after the practical exam began, her entire personality transformed. Not only did she excel in wilderness survival skills, but she also displayed outstanding combat abilities, strategic thinking, and courage while becoming more assertive in her interactions with others.
