Chapter 202: The Mark of the Countryside

```

Excellent!

The stern and strict Shigong Xiaoci Lang actually gave such a high praise to a student on the verge of expulsion.

Moreover, this student's expulsion was a decision made by him in class.

This wasn't just an admission of defeat, but a complete acknowledgment of his mistake. Even Dojima Yin, who had set a trap for Shigong, was stunned, unable to regain his senses for a while.

Tanaka Hikari's beautiful big eyes widened in disbelief.

"E-e-e-excellent?"

She stammered as she asked.

As an underdog who was self-doubting, often failed, and had nearly lost all confidence in life, Tanaka Hikari had never received such a sincere compliment of excellence from a mentor. What's more, this mentor was none other than the student-dubbed 'Demon,' Shigong Xiaoci Lang.

The surprise came too suddenly, and Tanaka Hikari felt like it was a dream.

"Tanaka Hikari!"

A deep voice called her.
