Chapter 932 - Such a Family of Three
The Outstanding Contribution Award was only given to people who had done something that had brought great honor to Chaos School.
Such contributions mainly came from feats of honor by students or teachers who had made important discoveries.
Normally, it was won by students in the secondary section and teachers since students from the primary section were still young. Clearly, they couldn’t make many outstanding contributions. However, when Luna said she was going to give this award to one of the students in her class, many people couldn’t believe their ears.
How is it possible!?
Many people shared the same thought.
Amy’s eyes lit up when she saw the certificate Luna was holding. “It’s so big! I like it!”
The Outstanding Contribution Award… I like the sound of it, Mag thought. He didn’t understand the significance of it, though.
Luna was not surprised by so many incredulous faces, because she had had the same look on her face when she first got the news. “The Outstanding Contribution Award goes to… Amy!” she announced.
They turned to look at Amy, surprised and not surprised.
If anyone could win this award, it was Amy.
Of course, there were those who didn’t know that match or the importance of it. They looked at the half-elf girl, who was even younger than their own children, wondering what she had done to deserve such a high honor.
“The last certificate is mine?” Amy asked, looking up at Mag, confused.
Mag nodded. “Yes, it’s yours.” He was filled with pride.
“Amy defeated the challengers from the Roth Empire about a month ago,” Luna continued. “After four consecutive losses, we finally had a win to be proud of. In honor of Amy’s great contribution, Chaos School decided to give her this award.” She smiled at Amy. “Come forward, Amy.”
“Go on,” Mag said, and patted her on the shoulder.
Amy jumped off her chair and headed towards Luna. She stood on tiptoes to take the certificate in her hands, but it was so big that it completely hid her head when she held it before her. She then stuck her head from behind it and gave a big smile.
They applauded loudly, especially the kids who had seen the match and considered her worthy of the award.
“Way to go, Amy!” Daphne shouted.
Ignatsu was also clapping his hands in delight.
“Amy got the biggest one,” Bonnie said, staring at her son. “If you fail to get a certificate next year, I’ll beat you and your father.”
“Wait, what? I have nothing to do with his bad grades,” protested Shaza, who was playing with a couple of beans.
“You have everything to do with his bad grades! Since you care about your stupid beans more than us, why don’t you marry them? I’m sure you’ll live a happier life ever after.”
Shaza was beaten. “Study harder, son,” he said to Ignatsu solemnly, “or our butts will be beaten to a pulp.”
“I don’t know about you, Father, but I’ve gotten used to Mother’s beating.”
“Thank you, Teacher Luna,” Amy said, and ran to Mag and Sally. “Father, Mother, look!”
Mag touched her head. “That’s my girl.”
Sally froze, but she soon got infected by Amy’s happiness. She was an obedient and adorable child. Although she wasn’t her real mother, she found it a moment of realization. As she looked at Mag smiling warmly and the happy Amy, she liked the idea of having Mag as her husband and Amy her daughter. Being such a family of three was nice.
After Mag received the most prestigious award in Chaos School, the mood in the classroom turned odd. Compared to the Outstanding Contribution Award, the other awards paled in comparison. Although the parents tried their best to appear natural, the mood turned tense when they saw the certificate in Amy’s arms.
That was when they heard a commotion coming from other classrooms. The other homeroom teachers were announcing the news of Amy winning the Outstanding Contribution Award.
…
“Looks like many people are questioning our decision to give Amy that award,” the balding school administrator told Novan.
Novan laughed. “Krassu would never build a magic room here if not for her, and he’d never teach the other kids magic.”
“But many people don’t know this.”
“Yeah, and we won’t explain ourselves to them. Let them question our decision. We can give this award to whomever who want. Even the city lord’s castle and the Gray Temple can’t interfere.” Then Novan’s voice grew cold. “Tell those old farts to stop wasting money on stupid projects that benefit nobody and start doing something for the school!”
“Yes, Principal Novan,” he said hurriedly, and took his leave.
Novan sighed as he looked out his window. “That award was meant for Krassu, but he didn’t want it.”
