Chapter 121

However, who in this world can be so confident that their class will never decline?

Not to mention——

"The so-called 'class' means that you first have to believe that the rules set by a group of people who happen to be in high positions are correct. Once you accept other people's rules, your words and actions will begin to be restricted, and you will start to play by the rules set by others."

"--but."

Jiang Yunu held up her face on the dining table. Her legs were not yet long enough for her to sit on the high chair and easily reach the ground.

She tapped the floor lightly with her toes and said lightly, "Why must their rules be right?"

Joyson didn't quite understand what he heard, but that didn't stop him from saying, "Yeah! Bullying is wrong!"

"But..." Jiang Yunu changed the subject and made another turn.

She rested her chin on her hand, speaking with both idealism and clarity, "When someone who these people consider 'inferior' says such things, they'll probably just laugh at us, thinking it's an excuse for the inferior and the weak, a statement made by someone who's not strong enough."

The red-haired boy's arrogance suddenly subsided. He said, "Yes, just like we were born in the Seventh District, Chat City is only in District 19 according to the Alliance District Numbering. In the eyes of others, we may not even be considered human beings, and we have no right to have an equal dialogue at all."

Jiang Yunu thought to himself: Actually, I wasn’t even born in District 19.

She didn't even know where the small desolate planet she "landed" on when she first came to this world was. Perhaps the location of that desolate asteroid was really in the "out-of-bounds" area outside the Alliance number.

But this does not prevent Jiang Yunu from being more positive than Joyson.

“It doesn’t matter,” she said. “Just become better than them.”

Jiang Yunu said this lightly, as if he was discussing with someone whether to have cheese stew or red oil hot pot for dinner today.

But Joyson was convinced of this. His "Godlike trust" was back online, and he said firmly: "If it's you, you can definitely do it."

The red-haired boy firmly believed that Jiang Yunu, who walked out of their home, from the dilapidated street, from Chat City and the 19th District, from the Seventh District and the Enge Primary School for Supernatural Powers... would continue to rise until she became stronger than all the people she disagreed with.

She will first stand in the position of strength, and then let everyone listen to her.

Jodie stood on the stairs for a moment; she hadn't moved in a long time. She had finished her chores upstairs long ago and should have come down twenty minutes ago to ask the children what they wanted for lunch and then bring the two helpers into the kitchen to help her. But as she turned the corner on the landing, she overheard a conversation coming up from the dining room on the first floor.

Aunt Daisy was listening in on a little girl's boastful speech. Like Joyson, she was curious about how Jiang Yunu would view the "class system" in the upper district. Jiang Yunu's answer was "very Jiang Yunu," which brought a smile to her face.

“Knock knock.”

Jodie knocked on the stair railing to indicate that she was going downstairs and to get the two children's attention.

"Aunt Dai Si." Jiang Yunu looked up from the spread-out information screen.

"Mom." Joyson also shouted.

Aunt Daisy said, "Go to the kitchen and prepare the food. I'm going to make Xiaonu's favorite stew for lunch today."

"Great!" Jiang Yunu quickly stood up from the dining chair, and with his feet slightly suspended in the air, he jumped and stepped on the ground.

People who may be able to cross class barriers, or even cross more than one class barrier in the future, still have to help their aunt wash and cut vegetables at home.

Joyson's information allowed Duma Advanced Ability Academy to directly kick Jiang Yunuo off the application list. She received a call from Mutisha in the middle of the holiday. This teacher, who had the temperament of a mother earth, had a warm voice, not weak, and had a sense of power and vitality.

"You're not considering Shenduma College?" Mudisa said. "I thought a girl like you, who loves to challenge yourself and strive for 'high-end' talent, would be interested in a place like Duma, known as the 'cradle of the elite.'"

Jiang Yunu said: "'Elite Cradle' is very good, but I think it and I are not compatible."

I don’t know if the saying “incompatibility” still exists in today’s era, but Jiang Yunu used it whenever he wanted.

Teacher Mudisa obviously understood it as well.

She laughed in her mezzo-soprano voice over the communication line.

"Okay, okay." Teacher Mudisa said without much regret, "It seems that I lost the bet with Lei."

Jiang Yunu said, "Hmm?"

"Your teacher, Mr. Lei, made a bet with me that among several top-tier colleges, you definitely wouldn't like Duma College. It's a high-ranking school that will ultimately be excluded from your list."

Jiang Yunu never expected that the teachers would bet on her, and Leis Daniel surprisingly hit her preference.

"Lei still understands you better." Mutisha sighed on the phone.

Jiang Yunu got along very well with the new teacher. She accidentally confessed her thoughts in front of the teacher who would take her to graduation: "Teacher Lei knows me like a mother."

“…”

There was silence on the other end of the communication for no more than five seconds, and then Mudisa's earth-shaking laughter was heard.

The Earth-type instructor laughed and assured the little girl, "I'll definitely tell your teacher Lei about this. I promise! I'll make sure he knows that he's like a mother to you."

Jiang Yunu is very thick-skinned. When she found out that she had accidentally said something wrong, she immediately decided to let it go without any internal friction.

"Then please be sure to add the details—she's like my second mother," the white-haired girl said seriously. "My first mother is Aunt Daisy, who is currently taking care of me."

Mutisha knew Jiang Yunuo's family information. When she took over this student, she received double copies of the information from Reis Daniel and Lucy.

"Please give my New Year greetings to your parents as well." Mutisha said happily, and promised that she would carefully tell Res Daniel that her male colleague was like the little girl's second mother.

As for what Reiss Daniel would think after receiving the message... Jiang Yunu felt that this was an issue she needed to pay attention to after school started.

——Unless Teacher Lei contacts her in advance during the holidays.

Mutisha called and, in addition to greeting the students in the New Year and confirming that Duma College had been excluded from Jiang Yunu's options, she also recommended some other schools to Jiang Yunu so that Jiang Yunu could screen more specifically and avoid sifting through a large pile of information.

Jiang Yunu continued to sift through information during the following winter vacation and did the "first grade to graduating class" super transition homework assigned to her by Mu Disha.

When he discovered that the award lists of several famous advanced supernatural schools overlapped, and that the name of "Duma Advanced Supernatural School" could always be found in the lists of competitions they participated in, Jiang Yunu looked at the school name that repeatedly jumped into his field of vision, and his hand that was looking up information paused slightly.

It was only after she had decided not to apply to it and had seen it again and again that she realized why she had been impressed by this school.

——She had seen the battle footage of a talented student in this school.

But what was that student’s name…?

It wasn't Jiang Yunu's fault for having a bad memory; it was simply that she was so absorbed in the holographic game that the online reference to the real-life battle took place ages ago, before she even participated in the inter-school competition and the subsequent events. It had also been so long since she'd played a game, and naturally, she didn't have the time to recall a memory so closely tied to it.

Thinking of this person, Jiang Yunu clearly remembered that she had devoted herself to studying his actual combat videos and applying the summarized tactics and play to the game.

But what’s her name…?

Jiang Yunu vaguely remembered that there was a name in the caption of the video at that time. She racked her brains to recall, and then a strange word popped up in her mind - [Moon].

"...but I don't think so." Jiang Yunu murmured.

Today, Joyson and Jiang Yunu were hanging out in the library of Chat City. Aunt Daisy was at work today and felt that the two children couldn't stay at home all day during the holiday, so she took them out with her when she went to work.

The two of them found a long table in the corner of the reading area. There weren't many people in the library on weekdays, and most of the surrounding tables were empty.

In the quiet environment, Qiao Yisen heard Jiang Yunu suddenly mutter something. He looked up from his electronic textbook and asked, "What's not?"

He was confused and asked, "What are you talking about? Did you see any problems?"

Jiang Yunu said: "I don't think anyone would give it a name similar to cleaning detergent."

Joyson: “?”

When thinking of the moon, the name that automatically popped up in Jiang Yunu's mind the next second was "Blue Moon".

This cleaning brand should no longer exist here, but I guess a talented student from Duma College wouldn't have such a name.

"Moon" should be the image conveyed by the other person's name, rather than simply calling it "moon".

"What are you worried about?" Joyson asked as he moved closer to Jiang Yunuo from his chair in the library. He was aroused by Jiang Yunuo's sudden abnormality.

Just as Qiao Yisen was approaching Jiang Yunu, an idea suddenly struck him. Jiang Yunu typed a few characters on the screen of the personal terminal in front of him -

[Search target: Chen Yijing]

The library's public network is incredibly fast, and the search results pop up in the blink of an eye.

The first result was a recent report with the headline: [Genius student creates another legend, Duma Academy wins xxxx]

Because the title was a bit long, Jiang Yunu adjusted the screen size to a smaller size, causing the second half of the information to be folded.

She finally remembered that the student whose battle video she had consulted was called Shen Yijing, a name with a rather subtle "moon" in it.

The other party was from the Duma Advanced Ability Academy. She had accidentally come across his battle video and then searched for the name of the other party's school mentioned in the report. Since then, she has had some impression of this school.

Joyson leaned over to take a look. There had never been any screen privacy between him and Jiang Yunu. He would wait until the other party showed the need to avoid the other party before deliberately avoiding the other party's screen messages.

After taking a look at Jiang Yunu's terminal screen, Qiao Yisen exclaimed "Huh".

"Who are you searching for?" the red-haired boy asked. "His name seems familiar to me."

Jiang Yunu replied casually, "When I was playing the holographic game in the school simulation room before, I borrowed his battle video to refer to the elemental beast's fighting method. Did I share the video with you at that time?"

Joyson shook his head, a thoughtful look on his face: "No, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere recently... but where?

The red-haired boy muttered softly, and just like Jiang Yunu not long ago, he began to rack his brains to search his memory.

Then a moment later, Joyson looked at the information retrieval results and said "Oh!" in understanding.

"When I saw 'Duma College' behind the entry, I remembered it." Qiao Yisen pointed at Jiang Yunu's screen and said, "Isn't this the captain of the Duma school team?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Yunu uttered a single sound, tilted his head to look at Qiao Yisen, and motioned for Qiao Yisen to continue.

The red-haired boy patted his sister's shoulder.

"Didn't we say last time that a player from Duma Academy injured someone in this year's league?"

Jiang Yunu: "Is it him?"

"No." Joyson shook his head. "It's a contestant from Duma Academy, but this person——"

The red-haired boy gestured again, pointing his chin at the name "Chen Yijing" on the screen. "This is the captain of the Duma College team. I heard he's only a freshman this year. Because he became the captain right after entering the school, the seniors specifically mentioned him when gossiping."

Being able to join the school team and become the captain of the school team as soon as he entered Duma, a school with a class system and emphasizing strength above all else, it can be seen that Shen Yijing not only has strong personal strength, but also has good command and management capabilities.

"—You also need a good family background," Joyson added, adding to the details the seniors had gossiped about. "A school like Duma has many people from wealthy families and with great abilities. Without either family background or personal ability, a first-year student wouldn't be able to win the hearts of the crowd."

Jiang Yunu trusted Qiao Yisen's source of information very much. She knew that Qiao Yisen was not like Zhou Jinxue, Xue Zhanxing and Xie Shi, who had their own intelligence network built on their family background. However, since entering Enge, Qiao Yisen had gradually become more and more outgoing. He was naturally kind in approaching others, and it was easy for him to win their hearts with sincerity. Hubana and some other senior students were willing to take him out to play and shared a lot of gossip about senior students with him.

The folk news network is also an important news network, which contains a lot of small news that will not be transmitted through formal channels.

"He is the captain, so does he approve of the students in his team doing that kind of thing?" Jiang Yunu asked.

"Senior Bambi said he seemed to disagree, but another senior said that maybe he was just pretending to disagree. After all, the student was punished openly." Joyson curled his lips again when talking about the incident where a student from the Duma College team crossed the line and injured someone.

"There's a saying, 'One plays the good cop, the other the bad cop.' Perhaps Duma, the talented captain, was just showing off his disapproval, to prevent their school's team from appearing too arrogant and domineering."

This speculation is not without reason. Neither Qiao Yisen nor Jiang Yunu was an eyewitness to the incident. They were not present, so they did not personally see or hear Shen Yijing's speech. They had no way of judging whether he was sincere or forced by the situation to do some "crisis public relations" for the school team.

"……All right."

Jiang Yunu was silent for a while. She stared at the overwhelming praise reports on the search page, and her eyes swept over the texts that praised this talented student, calling him "the rising star of the alliance" and "the light of young superpowers."

The white-haired girl shrugged slightly. "It turns out that the genius I used as a tactical reference before is another young master whose family background and title can cause a small earthquake if thrown to the ground."

Jiang Yunu suspected that she might be destined to be with some young masters, as these young masters appeared with titles quite frequently during her study and advancement.

Joyson asked sharply from the side, "What do you mean? Besides Xie Shi, which other young master have you come into contact with recently?"

Jiang Yunu then remembered that she had never told Qiao Yisen that she had met Xue Zhanxing at the joint school competition.

The white-haired girl mentioned her reunion with the golden-haired boy during the league, causing the red-haired boy to jump up on the spot, his knee slamming directly into the bottom of the long table in the library. "I knew there was something wrong with this little golden-haired boy. He talked to me at the hospital that time, so he might have had bad intentions—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The library is a quiet place that requires good manners. Joyson covered his knees and screamed softly.

Jiang Yunu ran to the vending machine with a helpless look on his face and bought a bottle of ice drink. He came back and handed the steaming can to Joeyson, asking him to press it on the red part of his body.

Duma College was not on Jiang Yunu's application list. Shen Yijing was a young master whose character and temperament were still unknown, but Jiang Yunu remembered the battle video she had seen - she still remembered the man's figure moving freely in the metal feathers.

He looked like a moving bullseye that could never be shot down.

“…”

Strangely enough, Jiang Yunu gently clenched his hands, clenched his five fingers into a fist and then released them.

A thought suddenly ran through her mind: I wonder what it feels like to hit the bull's eye?

This idea seems very aggressive and nonsensical.

But Jiang Yunu did think so, and she also felt her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
