December 31, 1 p.m., in front of the main entrance of the Capital Gymnasium.
Although it was already winter, the sun was shining brightly at this hour, so it didn't feel cold.
Students from each grade of City First School, dressed in rather stylish black formal uniforms, were filing into the gym.
Although their steps were not exactly uniform, the demeanor of each student inevitably radiated a supreme, dragon-and-phoenix-like aura.
Passersby occasionally stopped to inquire which school was holding an event here.
Although City First School could not match the nationwide renown of Ren Da Fu, its actual performance was hardly inferior to the latter.
Especially in terms of competitions, it was almost neck and neck with Ren Da Fu, signing contracts with dozens from Jinghua Jida each year.
To put it simply, "gold abounds everywhere, provincial winners are nothing special."
