Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 363 - 358: He’s Being Willful and Bold for Once!

The harsh words were from the Elite Class students who supported Wu Muzhe.

This ti, the students representing Anhe Middle School in the Hua Continent high school competition totaled 12.

Except for 2 Special Ability Class students not in the principal’s office.

Of the remaining 10 students, most were from the Elite Class, with only Ji Ning, You Le, and Bai Xiaotang from the ordinary class participating.

If Ji Ning withdrew, the principal would have to select another student to join.

Most likely, it would still be an Elite Class student.

This made the Elite Class students hold an absolute voice.

The principal also had to consider the Elite Class students’ thoughts and couldn’t make a decision outright.

"What’s wrong with no training? My Sister Ning is just that powerful. If she hadn’t been injured, she would definitely be the Hua Continent champion!"

Whenever Bai Xiaotang involved Ji Ning, she would turn into a little hedgehog, her cheeks flushed, her eyes wide, angrily retorting.

"Snort... champion? What rank did she get in the last whole-grade exam?"

"That’s because Sister Ning missed the exam for sothing important."

"A person with no grades, how dare they occupy a spot in the competition?" A student from the Elite Class glanced disdainfully at Bai Xiaotang and directly addressed the principal, saying, "Principal, we disagree with allowing those who haven’t participated in training to compete. If you insist on adding them, we’ll withdraw!"

In the past competitions, the school always chose Elite Class students to compete, but this ti they actually picked ordinary class students, and three at once, which was unprecedented.

You Le was acceptable since she had ranked first in the whole-grade physical exam.

But what notable achievents did Ji Ning and Bai Xiaotang have?

Bai Xiaotang’s best performance in the Elite Class was still at the bottom.

And Ji Ning often didn’t attend school, her grades were only talked about by the instructor.

If she really had ability, let her show so real achievents!

And she wants to be their instructor?

What a joke!

The unyielding attitude of the Elite Class students gave the principal and Wang Li quite a headache.

For the first ti, they shared the sa thought: the Elite Class students were also getting hard to manage.

Compared to the fuming Bai Xiaotang, who still wanted to argue, Ji Ning didn’t feel offended.

Young people should have spirit, sharpness, and an indomitable will; that’s a good thing!

Ji Ning pulled Bai Xiaotang aside, glanced at all the students from the Elite Class in the room, and smiled slightly, "Alright! You all can withdraw!"

What?

The Elite Class students were suddenly dumbfounded.

Especially the student who had just threatened to withdraw, almost bit their tongue, their eyes bulging wider than Bai Xiaotang’s, turning red in the face.

Bai Xiaotang feared she might faint at any mont.

Ji Ning turned to the principal, a hint of mockery in her eyes, "I rember in previous years, the chosen competitors were always from the Elite Class, yet the best achievent was only reaching the top 16. Acting as sparring partners every year, just giving others experience, might as well withdraw."

The principal and Wang Li imdiately felt a touch of embarrassnt on their faces.

But inexplicably felt that Ji Ning had a point.

No, no, how could they encourage others while undermining their own authority?

Just about to speak, Ji Ning continued, "Principal, have you ever considered that the students you deed excellent might not be suitable for this competition?"

"If we’re not suitable, then are you bottom-feeders suitable?" The Elite Class student was thoroughly provoked by Ji Ning’s words.

They clenched their fists, glaring at Ji Ning, just short of picking up a stick to fight her.

Yet, Ji Ning’s face remained calm with a mocking smile, "Without trying, how would we know? The school’s competition results are already poor enough, might as well switch people. Even if it gets worse, how bad could it get? Anyway, no one’s paying attention!"

Puff puff puff...

The Elite Class students felt as if their chests had beco porcupines.

Blood was flowing.

Who can sew Ji Ning’s damn mouth shut?

"Principal, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Not much...

"I can help train those students individually for the competition!"

Huh? Really?

"But the team mbers must be decided by !"

Ji Ning’s words shed their casual tone, subtly revealing a determined strength.

The principal was montarily stunned, ignoring Wang Li’s signaling, and asked almost entranced, "Can you lead them to the top 8?"

Ji Ning smiled, "How about the finals."

The principal’s eyes lit up, decisively stating, "That’s settled!"

"This is nonsense—"

Wang Li could no longer hold back.

She directly disrupted their conversation.

Her words of opposition got stuck in her throat when she t Ji Ning’s gaze.

"Ahem... I an, we should discuss this matter further."

But the principal was already choked on Ji Ning’s big promise, eyes full of vision, "What’s there to discuss? Ji Ning said she has a way to get us to the finals! Do you doubt her abilities?"

Soone who could beco a detective for the Security Bureau, even if physically lacking, definitely had a sharp mind!

Perhaps she could indeed lead Anhe Middle School to break the top 16 curse, secure a spot in the top 8, contending for the top 4, and march into the finals.

For this possibility, what harm is there in breaking tradition once?

Just like Ji Ning said, how much worse could it get?

No one expects anything from them anyway.

He decided to be capricious and bold, just this once!

"It’s settled then! Ji Ning, go pick your team! The school will fully support you, just deliver the final list to by the end of tomorrow’s classes."

The principal’s usually round, gentle face showed rare seriousness.

Wang Li just felt herself getting dizzy.

The Elite Class students felt as if they were eating bitter fruit in silence.

Involuntarily, they looked at the student who threatened to withdraw, their eyes filled with bla.

Bai Xiaotang, like a small victorious peacock, proudly followed behind Ji Ning as she left.

Soon, the news of the principal appointing Ji Ning as the competition coach and the re-selection of contestants, deliberately spread by those Elite Class students, swept through the whole school.

Except for the ordinary class and the teachers and students who were close to Ji Ning, most of the teachers and students at Anhe Middle School thought the principal had "gone mad."

So extre students, under the influence of so with motives, wrote anonymous letters to the education bureau overnight to report.

Amid such controversy, Ji Ning quickly selected 10 students for the competition.

from the ordinary class and 2 from the Elite Class.

That’s right, only 2 from the Elite Class.

Lin Yuanyang and Wu Muzhe.

After the list ca out, innurable followers of Wu Muzhe were heartbroken and looked at him with eyes full of betrayal, even cutting ties, but Wu Muzhe grit his teeth and endured.

Bai Xiaotang looked at the list in Ji Ning’s hand, unsatisfied with Wu Muzhe’s inclusion.

Pouting, she asked, "Sister Ning, why did you choose Wu Muzhe? He’ll definitely pester you to learn the Body Refinent Realm."

Ji Ning smiled, "Why not use a talented combatant?"

"But didn’t you say the Elite Class students aren’t up to the mark?"

Lin Yuanyang couldn’t stand Bai Xiaotang’s "simplicity," and rolled his eyes, "Even the worst among the Elite Class can leave you far behind."

Bai Xiaotang stomped her foot, "Sister Ning, look at him..."

"Sister Ning doesn’t exclude Elite Class students because of their lack of ability. In terms of talent and personal ability, they can rank high nationwide, but in terms of unified thinking, they fall short compared to ordinary class students. This is the critical reason they consistently underperform."

With that, Lin Yuanyang glanced at the past competition videos on Ji Ning’s Smart Brain screen.

Hit the nail on the head.

"They focus too much on personal gain, rather than collective honor."
