When the guard found out that Ling Lan was a member of Special Class-A, who had also chosen to be a day student, he was dumbfounded. After so many years of being a guard at the school, this was still the first time he had met a day student.
From this, we can see that the freedom to be a day student offered by the school was basically just an empty privilege. It's obvious if you think about it — with such a competitive system in place, every student would wish that they could spend the 24 hours each day as if they were 48 hours ... who'd be willing to waste time commuting back and forth from school?
Merry Christmas, everyone! ^-^ Thank you for all your support thus far -- it means a lot. I'm not a super fast translator, but I can give you all some extra chapters for this holiday season. (Holiday speed burst!) Besides this one, there'll be another extra chapter tomorrow as well. Happy holidays!
