Chapter 70

In the final battle of the mid-year competition, one team is from the first grade and the other is from the second grade.

I don't know about the other teachers, but third grade teacher Mr. Rileys is going to be popular.

Of course, he didn't blame the students in his class for not doing well. It was mainly because Xishan was always hanging around him like he had caught a 20-pound fish.

This was intolerable. If other teachers hadn't stopped them, they would have started fighting.

"You are so grown up, but you still act like a child. It would be interesting if your students saw this scene~"

Si Sisina sat on the mountain and watched the fight between two tigers, thinking that those outstanding children would eventually end up in her hands anyway, so what was the point of fighting now?

It’s just that the first-grade teacher, Teacher Sha Yin, didn’t seem very happy. She could tell from the last midterm exam that the kid named Liu Hua Qi didn’t seem to be very liked by Sha Yin.

Look at these three most proud students of Teacher Xishan. He loves them so much. Unlike Shayin, who is not excited at all even though his students have made it to the finals of the mid-year competition.

I heard that Liu Huaqi lives in the same dormitory with Teacher Xishan's students. To round it off, this Liu Huaqi looks more like a student in Class 1, Grade 2.

But why? Si Sixina thought he was quite good at seeing through people's minds, but he couldn't figure out why Sha Yin hated Liu Huaqi.

Come to think of it, I can only guess whether there is some deeper entanglement involved.

Forget it, don’t bother with it, it will be hers in the end anyway, hehe.

"Xishan, don't be too proud. You just got lucky!"

Of course, excellent teachers will be assigned to teach excellent students, but there is always a first come, first served order.

Xishan was one class later than him, wasn't it just luck?

"Hahaha, if you have the guts go and crash into it!"

He had brought this luck upon himself, for it was because Lailis wanted to be his daughter's class teacher.

Later, the secret document finally issued a report on the Oue invasion.

The causes and consequences, compensation measures, accountability issues, etc. are all written in great detail and placed on the official website of the secret document for all students, teachers, parents, and people from all walks of life to read.

Principal Mu Wuren personally came out to give relevant explanations and apologies, and the Institute of Supernatural Powers also announced that it would launch an indefinite manhunt for Oue.

The students who were the victims did not seem to be angry at all. Their attention was all focused on the fact that they could go to the secret forbidden area and choose an item as compensation.

Anyway, I woke up safely in the end. Our secret text is really good!

Xi Siling did read the part about accountability in detail, but there was no mention of the traitor hidden in the secret text.

Did they fail to catch him, or did they want to lure the snake out of its hole?

Liu Huaqi noticed where the senior's gaze rested and reacted almost instantly.

"Does the department senior suspect that there is a mole in the school?"

Xi Siling nodded, "Although there are many teachers responsible for the scenario events, it is not something that outsiders can do casually. Although I don't want to see teachers or even students in the school do such things, I can't help but doubt it."

This didn't seem like a problem they should worry about, but when he thought about how the senior in the department and senior Li Ke almost never woke up again, Liu Huaqi felt that the lesson and threat that day were too light.

"After this incident, the school will be on guard, so the seniors in the department may not have to worry about it."

Even the best supernatural school secrets cannot avoid such invasions. This world is always many times more dangerous than imagined.

Liuhuacui doesn’t care about how the school is doing.

Since she couldn't come up with any conclusion just by thinking about it, Xi Siling decided to change the subject.

"Tomorrow I will be standing on the same playing field with 11. How is it? Are you confident?"

After closing the secret text display on the computer, Xi Siling turned sideways, supported his head with one hand, looked up at Liuhuaqi, and asked curiously.

Sure? If it was Senior Lan Yi before his awakening, he would be 100% sure to win, but facing Senior Lan Yi now, he was not sure if he could win without using powers other than [Mist].

However, Liu Huaqi didn't care about winning or losing, he had no interest in the championship.

If it could make both the department seniors and Lan Yi happy, he wouldn't even mind giving up the championship quietly.

At least the players he met seemed to be of too low quality, and Liuhuaqi had to spend his energy thinking about how to win in an exciting way.

"Does the department senior want me to win, or does senior Lan Yi want to win?"

Xi Siling:......

"Oh no, a death question, Marula." The system suddenly appeared and chose to add fuel to the fire.

But this didn't bother him at all!

"I hope you can all try your best and perform well in the competition." Isn't it just about treating everyone equally? It's simple and it won't be a problem for a former office worker like him.

But how could Liuhuaqi not see that Xi Siling was trying to be tactful? However, he just smiled and did not ask any further questions.

If we continue to ask, what will happen next? Will we bring shame upon ourselves?

How long has he known the seniors in the department? How could he possibly compare to the status that Lan Yi and Li Ke have in the hearts of the seniors?

But he couldn't convince himself to accept it.

Liu Huaqi felt his heart skip a beat, and an inexplicable sense of frustration spread to his fingertips.

"The department seniors really trust us."

In the match between Lan Yi and Xian Hai, Liu Huaqi could not see any possibility of Lan Yi winning. In his eyes, it was a dead end.

But the trust of the senior in the department really had a miraculous response, and he never doubted his friend from beginning to end.

And...even if Senior Lan Yi was really defeated, Xi Siling and Li Ke would not look down on him.

I'm afraid he has already thought of words of comfort and is waiting to take me out for a meal in the evening.

The feeling of being alien once again began to encroach on Liuhuaqi's sanity, and he still didn't know how to fit in.

When I was daydreaming, Si Ling's hand making the number 1 appeared in front of me.

“People often say that no one will remember the second place, but with so many people in this world, does not being first necessarily mean failure?”

Liu Huaqi was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Xi Siling smiled and winked at him.

"I also have selfish motives. If possible, I hope you can all get first place."

This statement is somewhat contradictory. Being selfish means having preferences.

Between myself and senior Lan Yi, there will always be someone that the seniors in the department hope to get first place.

In the end, I am still struggling and considering...

"You said I trust 11, which is true, but I think you got one thing wrong."

"...What?"

"I believe in 11, not that I believe he will win. That is blind idealism, not trust."

Huh?

Liuhuaqi's idea was actually guessed by Xi Siling.

After all, his view on "trust" is still somewhat blind and superficial.

"I believe that whether 11 wins or loses, he will have the courage to continue fighting and the pride to never admit defeat. Even if he really fails, I believe he will not be depressed because of it. I believe he will become stronger one day in the future."

Xi Siling withdrew his hand, and the 'first' position that represented the 'champion' no longer existed.

"This is trust. It's the trust I give to 11, Xiao Ke, and you."

Liuhuacui was ultimately bound by his inner obsession.

What does it matter if you get first place or not?

If it wasn't him and Lan Yi who made it to the finals, would it be someone else? Would the seniors in the department pay more attention to the guy who won first place?

How could he...think about his senior in the department like that?

A strong sense of guilt suddenly filled Liuhuaqi's heart.

The seniors in the department really expect them to give their all in the competition, and no matter what the result is, it will be worth it.

However, he used his shallow and even dirty thoughts to speculate about his senior in the department, and even developed some ridiculous jealousy because of it.

He deserves to die.

Xi Siling reached out again and patted Liuhuaqi's shoulder, as if to comfort him.

"Then let me ask you again. Are you confident in the match against 11?"

Liuhuaqi's hands hidden at his sides were trembling slightly, and he used a lot of effort to control himself from losing his composure.

It seemed like tens of millions of years had passed in his mind, but in reality it was only a few seconds, and the boy showed a bright smile.

"Yeah! I have confidence!"

"Ohhh! You look very energetic! Sorry, Brother Lan, I'll stand at 77 this time!"

Li Ke and Lan Yi, who had gone out to buy midnight snacks, just came back. After hearing this exciting speech, Li Ke chose to "rebel" without hesitation.

Lan Yi gave Liu Huaqi a thumbs up and said, "Come on, I will do my best too."

In the entire dormitory 618, no one really cares who will win in the end. After all, it’s a matter of fighting for the first and second place, so whoever wins doesn’t win, right?

"What did you buy for supper?"

"Everything! But this cake has a great history. Just now, a senior girl from senior year confessed her love to him downstairs. In the end, she succeeded. She cut a five-layer cake on the spot. Brother Lan and I both got a big piece!"

Xi Siling exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder I heard someone making a noise downstairs, it turned out to be a confession?"

"You will never guess the protagonist!"

Li Ke brought his piece of cake to share with Xi Siling, while Lan Yi cut it in half and put it in another bowl and handed it to Liu Huacui, and then the four of them started to eat melon while having a midnight snack.

"who?"

Judging from the tone, he is definitely not a simple person, although Xi Siling already has a guess in his mind.

Li Ke exaggeratedly kept the secret, "I know him, guess quickly! If you guess right, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

Xi Siling originally wanted to let Li Ke satisfy his addiction to keeping things in suspense, but you turned out to be so confident, so don't blame me for being rude.

"I guess it's sea limit."

"Fuck, no, 40 you are cheating!!! Did you just look down from the window!!!"

Li Ke's eyes widened in disbelief. The wallet in his pocket flew away like a plump ball, and the cake in his hand instantly lost its fragrance.

"We are so high up and there are trees blocking the view, how can we possibly see it? You are so sure about it, it must be someone you didn't expect. Not to mention me, 77 must have guessed it too."

Xi Siling quickly directed the fire towards Liuhuachui.

Liu Huaqi almost choked on the cake. He coughed and then nodded pertinently.

"It's not that I guessed it, but the person who surprised you so much, Senior Li Ke, is someone I know. Besides Teacher Xishan, the only other person is Senior Xianhai whom I met today."

When Li Ke heard the words "Teacher Xishan", he burst into laughter for the third time that day.

"Teacher Xishan is really not married. He is still single. Hahahahaha."

Teacher Xishan: Ahem!

Who is missing me?
