Back in Freiburg, the team was off the next day, but Sunset still had a lot of work to do.

High school in Germany starts on April 1, and Sunset waits until April 5 to prepare for Fürth.

The Freiburg Birchhof International Grammar School is located on the outskirts of the city in the small town of Enbas, and it is almost half an hour by light rail from Sunset's residence. However, there is no way, the general liberal arts high schools in Germany do not accept students from outside Germany, and there are only a limited number of international high schools if you want to study in liberal arts high schools. After the entrance test in February, Sunset will be enrolled in Grade 10 at Bikhoff International Grammar School.

There is a distinction between vocational preparatory courses, practical high schools and liberal arts high schools in German high schools, among which vocational preparatory courses are equivalent to technical schools in China, practical high schools are equivalent to ordinary high schools, and liberal arts high schools are about the same as key high schools. However, international liberal arts high schools have slightly lower requirements for international students than ordinary liberal arts high schools, and the tuition fees are more expensive, so Sunset has a chance.

Principal Schneider welcomed a very popular local player from Freiburg to the school, and Sunset was a big boost to the Chinese market they had always wanted to explore. So from the beginning, it was suggested that if Sunset allowed the school to use his image to promote in China, he could waive Sunset's tuition fees, and even pay Sunset a small amount of money negotiably.

Sunset, who will have a big income boost next season, turned down the request, which is not at all consistent with his idea of hiding in Freiburg to level up in a low-key manner, so the refusal is not distressing at all.

Compared to Schneider's welcome, Sunset's mentor at Bikhof, Werner, was a little unpleasant, and walked on the way to take him to class with a stern explanation of the school rules, which sounded like Werner was a simple-minded, four-limbed and reckless man who loved to show off, and it seemed that football was not liked by everyone in Germany.

"Don't drive your messy luxury car into the schoolyard, don't bully classmates and coax female classmates at school... You'd better put away your game as a player at school and I'll keep an eye on you......"

The series of warnings was not finished until he walked into the classroom, and there was a lot of unfinished meaning. Then he walks into the class and introduces Sunset to his classmates and teachers.

Sunset's class consisted of fifteen or six students, all but two French, one Norwegian, and one Lebanese.

Of course, this class is not fixed, each student takes different courses, and usually goes to their own elective course classrooms, but many courses overlap to be considered a class. There is no homeroom teacher to say that the tutor Vernet plays a similar role, but more like a counselor in college.

In contrast to Timo Werner's attitude, the students thought it was cool to have a player as a classmate, and after a few days of preparation, they basically knew almost everything Sunset could know, and they could not only call him by name when they met, but also compliment him on his goal in Fürth the day before.

Seeing Sunset welcomed, Werner frowned, and was spotted by his math teacher, Baker, who reminded him:

"Mr. Timo Werner, you don't have to think that every player is pompous and superficial, you should have also seen Yu's entrance test, and his results were good. And as a player with such a high income, I still remember to study, what a good young man..."

Werner couldn't refute what Baker said, but his worries didn't diminish either:

"I'm not too worried about him, I'm going to be careful to keep an eye on him and not give him a chance to make mistakes. I'm worried about other children, afraid that they will be affected by the aftermath. How do you think such a child can get a salary of more than one million euros? Aren't they worried about a child being deceived by money?"

Baker looked at Werner cautiously, if he didn't know his usual behavior, he would really associate it with jealousy, but Werner's rigid and old-school style of integrity is still very reputable, and it seems that he is really worried that Sunset will be lost in front of money, and that Sunset will affect more students.

Baker, who is younger and knows a little more about football, told Werner what he knew so he didn't worry so much:

"Mr. Werner, football is like that now, Freiburg's salary is relatively low even in Germany. And as far as I know, Yu is not a very money-conscious person, otherwise he would have taken more if he went to the big city. You have to understand that footballers have to prepare carefully for a long time in order to play, and even have a good fortune, and then they can get more than ten years of salary..."

Werner is not an easily persuaded person, and after listening to this, he continued to complain:

"Even if you can only take it for more than ten years, it's too much. And even if I don't have to worry about Yu, I'm worried about whether other students will be able to face all this properly......"

Baker had no choice but to smile and say no more, and glanced sympathetically at Sunset, who was surrounded by enthusiastic classmates, and was targeted by the stubborn and serious Werner, Sunset's high school experience in the future will not be easy......

However, Sunset didn't cause as much trouble as Werner and the others thought, and handled the electives like regular students, choosing a schedule that had the least conflict with training and competition. On this basis, I chose a lot of study programs, including language learning, and did not choose my mother tongue as a second language course like other foreign students, but chose English. In addition, there are several courses with heavy coursework such as mathematics and physics.

Then during the week, I shuttled between the campus and the training ground in a low-key manner, except for dealing with enthusiastic classmates, no different from other students.

Streich was also very supportive of Sunset's arrangement, and even asked about the course schedule, intending to fine-tune the training schedule if necessary, which is very much in line with his image of always supporting young players to complete their studies.

For this reason, Streich also talked to Sunset after training and encouraged him:

"I think it's a good idea that you can have the patience to go through high school, I know that you have a talent for football, and you can live well with this, but reading can not only enrich your life, but also help football a lot......"

After speaking, looking at Sunset with a confused face, Streich continued proudly:

"First of all, reading books makes you learn to think, and football needs it. Obviously you're not a player who can eat on your body, thinking is more important to you, right? In addition, football has become more and more a university question, exercise physiology, sports medicine, sports mechanics... There is also psychology and the latest digital technology, when football is becoming more and more a business, these top technologies are about to enter the field of football, and the future of football will definitely require more knowledge and understanding... How? Don't you think so?"

Sunset was deeply touched by Streich's words, but blushed a little at his question, and said worriedly:

"I didn't think about it that much, coach. My dad wanted me to be a good player and my mom wanted me to go to a good university...... I just don't want to disappoint them..."

Streich, who knew a little about Sunset, was stunned, but quickly patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"You've done a good job, kid, they'll be proud of you..."
