NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 11: ch11
"Brother, you are indeed a genius. Sister wasn't wrong." On the way, Emily looked conflicted. Compared to John's panel data, it was like night and day.
Although Sarah didn't understand the specifics, the attitude of the Riverbend University teacher explained it all. She was so happy at this time.
"Okay, John, you really make Auntie proud. This is the first time in her life that Auntie hasn't been looked down upon by someone."
"But why didn't you agree to that teacher? He was willing to offer good conditions."
"Aunt Sarah, I'm still a few days away from graduating high school, so I'm not in a hurry to choose a college." John was helpless. He really wanted to express that he didn't want to go to college, but he couldn't convince his adoptive parents.
They have worked hard to support him for 18 years, just hoping he can get ahead and change their current difficult life. Not going to college seems to them to be self-destructive.
But if he must attend university, then John would definitely want to choose the best one. For instance, Ancheng University in their southern continent was praised to the skies by Ashley.
There are countless good teachers and ninjutsu, and it is every high school senior's dream paradise.
However, it is not easy to get into Ancheng University. Take John's West Valley High School as an example; no student has been able to get in for more than ten years.
However, John knows that things will definitely change this year. Ashley and Ethan will definitely be admitted unconditionally. Bloodline Limit is so popular.
"I don't know if I can pass the exam. I'm still short on Chakra and Ninjutsu."
Although he is confident that he will become strong in the future, the starting point is too low. With university examinations in at most three months, it is difficult to achieve much in such a short time.
The three of them returned home and told Jack about their awakening results. He laughed for a while before calming down.
"I, Mr. Johnson, will have no regrets even if I die now. You can take care of your aunt and sister." Jack patted John's shoulder with his large hands, which were covered with deep calluses from years of hard work, a look of relief on his face.
The more he behaved like this, the harder it was for John to go against his adoptive father's wishes and choose the path he had planned not to go to college, so he could only silently nod his promise.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will get into a good university and have a bright future."
"Good boy!"
After hearing this, the couple had tears in their eyes and were very happy.
...
As soon as John arrived at school early the next morning, he was surrounded by Ashley and Ethan, who clamored to see his panel.
Yesterday, after he exited the Sacred Tree Space, the two of them were still in it. They went home without meeting each other, and they didn't know each other's talents.
John smiled and said, "Let me see yours first."
"Tch, what's so secret about this?" Ashley hummed and showed her panel. All the students immediately turned their attention to it and couldn't help but exclaim after seeing it.

When Ethan saw that Ashley had caused a sensation, he was immediately eager to compare and couldn't wait to show his panel.

"How scary! Are these the geniuses of our class? The two of them are no longer just students."
"Yes, they've already become ninjas before graduation. How many years has it been since our West Valley High School had such powerful students?"
"Compared to them, I'm nothing. My Chakra is less than 0.3 cards, and I haven't learned a single Ninjutsu."
"Just be content. My Chakra is less than 0.1. Having that much makes you a genius. Don't compare yourself to monsters like them."
"Well, let's see John. His theoretical knowledge is so good, and his talent isn't bad."
The students in the class looked at John after being shocked. Ashley and Ethan also stared at him. John showed his panel amidst everyone's expectations.
His data caused quite a stir from the beginning. The value of Ninjutsu 6 was only slightly lower than Ethan and Ashley. Other students thought that he was already a powerful genius.
However, when they saw Genjutsu and Spirit, especially the latter, they were all dumbfounded and let out a burst of gasps.
"10+? Damn, what does this mean? Have you seen it?"
"No! I've never heard of it."
"John is so awesome. Is this an explosive attribute? How strong must his mental power be to achieve this?"
"Teacher, are you here? Please explain to everyone."
Mr. Carter was stunned as soon as he stepped into the class. He looked at John's panel and was speechless for a long time.
"This...John, you..."
"Well, teacher, you came just in time. I don't understand what my numerical value means. Please tell me."
John coughed lightly, put away the panel, and looked at Mr. Carter along with many students.
Mr. Carter was speechless. He had never encountered such a situation. He left a word and then exited the class.
"You wait, I'll call the principal."
After he left, Ashley and Ethan took turns playfully teasing John.
"Sure, John, just leave quietly. You even surprised us today."
"Even with such strong talent, you waited until now to reveal it?"
"Ashley, please let go, I can't breathe."
John pushed away the girl who was playfully choking him, took a few deep breaths, and spoke.
"I didn't know how long you two would stay in the Sacred Tree World yesterday, so I went home first. Didn't I tell you?"
"By the way, have you seen anyone in my situation before?"
Seeing that they were still teasing him, John quickly changed the subject. He had no ability to resist them now, so being teased was in vain.
Ashley: "I've seen it before, of course, I've seen it before. My brother, who has been training his body since he was a child, is also a 10+ monster."
Ethan shook his head, "Not really. I'm the only genius in my family, and no one else is."
"It's good to have it, at least you won't be regarded as an oddity." John breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The principle of "Standing Out Like a Tall Tree" is simple and easy to understand. There are people with dark psychology everywhere.
The personal panel cannot be hidden. It will be used frequently in the future, and he worried that his talent would cause unnecessary trouble when he was weak.
After a while, Mr. Carter and a thin old man in black clothes and white hair, about 5'4" tall, entered the class and went straight to John.
"Are you John Smith?"
"Hello, Principal."
John quickly stood up to greet him. The person coming was none other than the old principal of West Valley High School, 'Lee Stone', with Elite Chunin strength.
He has been in charge of the school for more than thirty years and is famous in the West Valley District. Many dignitaries and powerful ninjas have been his students.
"Let me see your panel."
"Yes, Principal."
John showed the panel again, and Lee Stone couldn't help but grin.
"Very good, I finally waited for a 10+ student again, haha!"
His laughter was loud and his mood was clear at a glance, which made many students with commoner backgrounds envy John, knowing that he had caught the eye of the old principal and that his future career would not be far away.
