Chapter 113
Jiang Yunu said without hesitation: "No."
“…”
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet.
The smile on the face of the person in charge of student affairs froze. One of the little girls clearly didn't react according to the expected response, which made the adults, who were ready to take the next step, stunned. It was like a program that was supposed to be running perfectly suddenly encountered a bug.
After a moment, the person in charge stumbled and asked, "Why don't you want to?"
Having successfully recovered his tongue, the head of the Student Affairs Office spoke fluently: "How wonderful it is to have the opportunity to quickly climb the ladder!"
Jiang Yunu looked at the unfamiliar teacher seriously. She said, "Soaring into the sky sounds very unrealistic. It doesn't fit with our traditional style at Enge. It also sounds like a scam that uses high returns as a gimmick. They've dug the trap, just waiting for people to jump in because of the 'high returns' sign."
Both Lucy and Reiss Daniel laughed at her answer, but because they needed to save face for their colleague, they both smiled very restrainedly, and the slight smile passed across their faces like a dragonfly skimming the water.
The person in charge of the Student Affairs Office touched his forehead and wiped away the non-existent sweat.
By this time, the teacher probably realized that Jiang Yunu was indeed not the kind of student who could play by the rules.
To put it simply, the rhetoric used to motivate ordinary children is useless to her!
...But it doesn’t matter!
After all, she is a rare genius with outstanding talent! Geniuses should have unconventional ways of thinking and self-persistence!
The person in charge of the Student Affairs Office quickly convinced himself. He tried to guess Jiang Yunu's mentality, but found that it seemed difficult to guess. It would be better to skip the conventional steps and just speak directly to the girl.
So the person in charge confessed.
"It's not a trap." The teacher, who Jiang Yunuo was not familiar with, emphasized the key point. He looked at her with a burning gaze. "Student Jiang Yunuo, the following is what's going on. With the guarantee of the Seventh District Chapter of the Linglu Psychic Association, the school has submitted an application for skipping the grade exam to the local education administration center. The application was approved on Friday, the day you returned to school. The document receipt was sent to the school's student affairs office and your teachers' terminals. Do you understand what this means?"
A large amount of information was suddenly presented in front of him, and Jiang Yunu paused.
She changed her attitude and showed a little confusion on her face.
Reiss Daniel and Lucy could tell at a glance that she was brainstorming and frantically processing the news she had just received.
Jiang Yunu, who was busy processing information, did not answer the question from the person in charge of the Student Affairs Office. Fortunately, the inquiry was just a formality and did not seem to require her to answer.
The head of the Student Affairs Office waved his hand, his face beaming, as if he could already see a bright future where "students soar, driving the lagging school forward, and the entire school ascends to new heights." "—This means your abilities have been recognized by many parties. All those with a say have recognized that you are a student with abilities far beyond your current grade! You deserve to step onto a higher, larger stage and participate in a competition where the average ability level around you is even higher!"
"Congratulations! Jiang Yunu, you've been awarded the opportunity to attend classes with the graduating class next semester and enter the Advanced Ability School in six months!"
“…”
The person in charge's passionate voice was still echoing in the office, but Daniel Reis and Lucy remained silent.
Jiang Yunu blinked slowly, as if shaken by the sudden news, her face frozen in a slightly bewildered expression. Upon closer inspection, her expression seemed a bit blank.
The person in charge of the Student Affairs Office became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder. At the end of his speech, his breathing became rapid, and the frequency of his breath and chest rise and fall was as disordered. It can be said that he used all his passion to announce the news to Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu's reaction was indescribably... dull.
The person in charge, with a flushed face, looked at Jiang Yunu, waiting for the students who had digested the news to give him a response.
Jiang Yunu squeezed out a word after a long time: "Ah."
ah.
What kind of reaction is this?
Worried that he had been so excited that he hadn't explained something clearly, causing the little genius to not understand, the head of the student affairs office turned to the two teachers who were closer to Jiang Yunu for help: "Teacher Lu, Teacher Lei, did I not explain clearly? Please talk to Jiang Yunu in detail. This is truly a great joyous event - no, this is an unprecedented joyous event that has never happened since the founding of Enge Primary School for Special Abilities, spanning three levels!"
Jiang Yunu wasn't really shocked to the point of numbness. She was just confused. The first thought that came to her mind was:
What? I can start preparing for graduation next semester? Who suddenly accelerated my life in the elementary supernatural school?
Then, two beats behind the first thought, the second thought that entered Jiang Yunu's mind was - [What should I do with my teachers, classmates, family and friends?]
She had only just settled down in this world. It felt like only a short time had passed since she'd been struggling to survive alone on a desolate island at the foot of a mountain, rummaging through recycling bins in Chat City. The past six months had flown by day by day, each one so full that it seemed long. Yet, looking back, it felt like a rush of water, sweeping her to this day in a flash.
What about her teachers, classmates, family, and friends? Can they enter the next environment with her and become part of the "baggage" she carries?
Jiang Yunu was seriously considering whether she could pack up everything she had just acquired and take it away, so she spent an unusually long time thinking about it.
It was so long that when she came to her senses, the passionate head of the Student Affairs Office had disappeared from the office.
Seeing that Jiang Yunuo was stunned and didn't speak for a long time, Lu Xixi and Leis Daniel exchanged glances. Teacher Lei, who was good at gentle communication, came forward and whispered a few words to the person in charge of the Student Affairs Office, persuading the other party to leave first. He and Lu Xixi would continue to talk to Jiang Yunuo about the follow-up matters.
The person in charge of the Student Affairs Office shook Teacher Lei's hand vigorously and patted Teacher Lu on the outside of his shoulder.
"It's all up to you!" the person in charge said in a low voice, "We'll all work hard to ensure the children don't miss this unprecedented opportunity!"
Reiss Daniel nodded very reluctantly, and the movement of his cervical vertebrae seemed like his neck twitched slightly.
Jiang Yunu came back to her senses and found that only she and her two "direct teachers" were left in the office.
Just as she turned her eyes and met Lucy's, a steaming cup was handed to her.
The cup exudes an exceptionally rich and sweet aroma, and two small pink and yellow embellishments are placed on the thick dark brown liquid.
"Drink it," said Reisdaniel, who handed over the cup. "Hot cocoa with marshmallows."
Jiang Yunu took the cup, without saying a word, lowered his head and took a sip.
The warm, slightly scalding hot cocoa and a marshmallow rolled into her mouth. She swallowed the melt-in-your-mouth toasted marshmallow and the hot cocoa together and said to the teacher, "Teacher, I think I just ingested a lethal amount of sugar."
"Nonsense." Lu Xixi stretched out her arm and tapped Jiang Yunu's head lightly - for her words "lethal dose".
"Normally, I don't approve of children consuming too much sweets, nor do I approve of the overly sweet drinks that Daniel gives them," Teacher Lu said, retracting her arm. "But today is an exception. Hot cocoa helps calm your mind, and the sugar helps activate your brain, which is exactly what you need right now."
Jiang Yunu held the cup in his hand and was silent for a moment before protesting, "I was just stunned by the news just now, not completely stunned by it."
Leis Daniel usually doesn't have a sharp tongue towards Jiang Yunu, but he said at this time: "What's the difference?"
Jiang Yunu: "The difference is that I don't need to consume so much sugar. With the help of hot cocoa, my brain is reactivated and my mind is very sharp."
The tone of the white-haired girl sounded very pretentious and "mature" to adults, but even so, she didn't put the cup aside. She held it in her hand obediently and drank the teacher's gift slowly, one sip after another.
Finally, an empty cup was given to Reiss Daniel.
"Feeling better?" Lu Xixi patted Jiang Yunu's back again.
Jiang Yunu suspected that in the eyes of the two teachers, she might be a small animal with bared teeth and a mess of hair all over its body, so they had to treat her with great patience and caution, patting her here and touching her there, feeding her some delicious food, and smoothing her fur in many ways.
Jiang Yunu said, "I'm fine."
Reiss Daniel returned after putting the empty cup away. "So good that he was silent for a long time, his eyes wide open, as if this wasn't a huge surprise but a major blow?"
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Jiang Yunu protested weakly: "Teacher Lei, I feel like you're being a bit yin and yang to me today."
Reisdaniel crossed his arms: "Illusion."
Lu Xixi still spoke a fair word on behalf of her colleague: "He wouldn't play dirty with you. When they suggested letting you skip levels in the previous meeting, guess who almost jumped up at the conference table?"
"Jumping up" is an exaggeration. In fact, at that time, Reiss Daniel seemed to be glued to the seat with super glue, so there was no way he could jump.
But it was true that he was worried about Jiang Yunu. To put it a little exaggeratedly, he wanted the little girl to remember his kindness.
Jiang Yunu sighed again: "I can't imagine Mr. Lei wearing his coat and jumping on the spot in the meeting in such an elegant manner."
"..." Reisdaniel said, "Thank you, I can't imagine it either."
Jiang Yunu sighed again: "Just like I can't imagine, I just adapted to life here, and someone told me - Congratulations, you can prepare to leave for the next stop!"
