After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1442

Chapter 1442: The Will to Grow

The kid was shaking and sniffling at first, and it seemed like it wouldn’t take much for him to start peeing on his pants.

“Wuu….”

Percy cried, relieved he was uninjured, but when he opened his eyes and looked at his teacher and then at his surroundings, he finally absorbed what had happened and his face went completely red.

What could he do? He was terrified and he couldn’t think straight anymore. He deadass wanted to get out of there!

Then, seeing his teacher’s and classmates’ eyes lowkey on him, he immediately wanted to bury himself in the soil. No cap, this was the most embarrassing thing he had ever experienced (after being beaten up by Jake, of course).

“Don’t cry.”

“I’m not crying!!” he sniffled, then looked at his teacher. “What do I do now?”

Students were allowed to give up and asked to be rescued, but that meant they failed the test and would have to do it over again—possibly twice, depending on the teacher’s prerogative.

“This is mad hard, teach.” 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

“Do you want to drop out?”

“Eh? NO.”

“Your cousin had been saying you didn’t want to go to school.”

Percy was spoiled and thought he had a backing, so he didn’t really value school as much as others. On the other hand, most students would never even think of this at all.

There were many advantages of graduating, other than learning new things. It was because if they graduated after at least 5 years in school (except for those who started as high schoolers, who would need only 3 years of high school), then they’d automatically be granted permanent residency.

And if they were already residents by the time they graduated, then they could get the equivalent cost of it in cash!

If that wasn’t a tempting reason to graduate, nothing was!

“Jake will only support you until you’re 18, you know that right?”

“He…” he knew this, and Jake told him this over and over. However, deep down, he didn’t really believe that guy would throw him out and make him fend for himself.

Sammy sighed. He knew this type of people, and there were not a few of them.

If these people hadn’t truly encountered major hardships in life—one they had no control and had no one to lean on—it was too difficult for them to understand that things might not go their way until it actually happened.

They logically knew that it could, but in their hearts, they doubted it’d be like that for them.

Sammy wondered how much he should make this kid suffer just for the heck of it.

“Then just keep trying. Once a day, you will be fighting an uninjured level 1 monster until you win them, and the week after that you’d go against a level 2. You’d do this over and over until you defeated two.”

Sammy smiled as he let him stand on his own, casually tapping the kid’s shoulder.

“Otherwise I’ll throw you out the gates.”
