Chapter 184

According to Pei Ya's information, the school team's history of defeat can be traced back to before the current nominal captain Solok enrolled in school.

When Golden Uriel Academy began to suffer a losing streak in the Advanced Supernatural School League, Sorok was still attending the Junior Supernatural School, and all the members of the current school team had not yet enrolled.

Jiang Yunu: "Wow."

The white-haired girl digested this information for a moment, then she couldn't help but offer a poignant comment: "Does that also mean that after all the current members of the school team enrolled, everyone just continued to win more defeats?"

“…” Pei Ya said, “I think the expression ‘winning more failures’ is very well said.”

If the original words were made public, Jiang Yunu would be beaten up by all the members of the school team before he officially joined the team.

Jiang Yunu clasped his hands together again and bowed sincerely: "I don't mean to say anything bad about any of the seniors."

But for six consecutive years, three consecutive terms, they have not won any round of the past league games, and the points have been consistently at the bottom. What kind of level is this?

"The school's reputation is in jeopardy, the enrollment rate has been declining year after year, and the principal has no choice but to sell his body to attract investment." Pei Ya made another sharp comment.

The last time Jiang Yunu heard about Bi Huaishu selling his body was from Teacher Cuishita, who had an eccentric style and seemed to say anything without surprise. When she heard this description suddenly come out of Pei Ya's mouth, she couldn't help but turn her head and take a serious look at her little friend with a completely new perspective.

Because the white-haired girl was pressed tightly against her, their arms were touching each other. Pei Ya could feel Jiang Yunu's body temperature, as well as her clear gaze.

"...What's wrong?" Pei Ya asked.

"How strange," Jiang Yunu said honestly, "I thought you couldn't say something like 'the principal is selling her body', and that you were some kind of traditional, well-mannered rich girl."

It is necessary to mention that although the Ole family is far from being called a "wealthy family" like the Nagu family and the Yeli family, in terms of the amount of money and wealth, the Ole family is quite rich - the pair of portable glasses that Pei Ya wears every day has a top-notch chip built in, and is a "top product" sold in limited quantities in the First District, but Pei Ya deliberately set a very low-key custom appearance, disguised as an ordinary old-fashioned thick-soled glasses every day.

"Then you're mistaken about me," Pei Ya said flatly. "The kind of person you're talking about would probably turn left from the dormitory building, enter the campus road, go straight, turn right, and go into the study building to find Lynette Nagu, who's probably still in the practice room."

Pei Ya only has an appearance of being "quiet and low-key", but she is not quiet and introverted at all.

A person who is really very rule-abiding and has a very rigid style of doing things probably cannot be friends with Jiang Yunu.

"The other person will be scared away within three minutes of you opening your mouth." Pei Ya also commented sharply on Jiang Yunu's social skills.

Jiang Yunu thought about it carefully, and then she closed her mouth which was already open, ready to protest.

"Okay." She decisively yielded to her friend, who was good at both intelligence gathering and information analysis. "I think you're right."

Pei Ya felt that her words might be a bit absolute. After a moment, she added a qualification: "But there is also a situation where someone is extremely conventional at heart and can't easily adapt to your style of painting. If you can create an environment that traps them together with you, making it impossible for them to escape and forcing them to output, there is a certain chance that you can break their original worldview and force them to accept that there are people like you in the world."

“…”

Jiang Yunu thought about Pei Ya's words again. She felt that Pei Ya described her as some kind of variant of "forced professional".

The league record of Golden Urie College over the years is heartbreaking. It is said that because of three consecutive defeats, their school has a not-so-nice nickname - "Golden Goalkeeper".

According to Pei Ya, this is the second most popular nickname among the high schools in the upper three districts after "Golden Poor Ghost".

Golden Uriel Academy always ranks last in the league, but every year in the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition in the second largest district, someone can still make it into the top ten and get a ticket to the league for the school.

"The person who gets the ticket for the school every year has a nickname: 'Bottom Warrior,'" Pei Ya said calmly. "In previous years, this role has always been filled by the captain of the school team."

And there is no doubt that the previous "bottom warrior" of Golden Uriel was Sorok.

Before Senior Sorok, there was a former captain of the school team who won this title.

They were always able to secure a ticket and successfully enter the league, but they consistently placed last. Golden Uriel's team was perceived as merely a "bottom-of-the-table goalie." Over time, the students' enthusiasm for this supernatural competition faded. Furthermore, among the schools in the Upper Three Districts, Golden Uriel Academy was arguably the most liberal and inclusive. The school never deliberately prioritized combat prowess or the three major associations' graduation acceptance rates. Students had a wide range of interests and hobbies, resulting in a relatively small proportion of students majoring in supernatural combat.

Suddenly, Jiang Yunu suddenly understood what Senior Sorok said that day after watching her match with Senior Jin Qing, when he was hesitant about whether to devote himself to the association internship this year.

According to the academic year system of the Advanced Ability School, the next academic year will be the last year that Sorok and his friends can participate in the league.

However, if they participate in the league next school year, the situation will be no different from previous years, so for the fourth-year students, they will lose precious association internship time.

"what's on your mind?"

Pei Ya noticed that Jiang Yunu didn't speak for a long time, but the white-haired girl was still close to her, with the sides of their bodies pressed together. She had unknowingly become accustomed to this kind of contact.

Jiang Yunu moved slightly, and his white hair brushed Pei Ya's shoulders.

"I'm thinking," Jiang Yunu said, "Even if there's only one round of matches, can our school team win the next league?"

Just winning once would make these seniors who have been on the school team for several years very happy.

Every victory in the league is an achievement that can be written into one’s personal resume, making their previous efforts not in vain.

"That's a good idea." Pei Ya's tone was neither encouraging nor dismissive. She stretched out a hand and gently patted Jiang Yunu's forehead.

"But before you go off to compete in the league for the school, think about your upcoming second match in the third round—aren't you going to face Miss Nagu again?"

Lynette Nagu was waiting for Jiang Yunu in the next battle in a few days.

Compared with Linette Nagu, who spent a lot of money to contract a private practice room and practiced diligently in the room every night, her opponent Jiang Yunu seemed particularly "indifferent". In the past few days, she would just borrow the reserved practice room in the study building, lock the door and practice for two hours. Before 9:30 in the evening, she would return to the dormitory on time, chat with Pei Ya in the public lounge, and watch the other party play games through the video window shared by Pei Ya.

Pei Ya didn't mean to put pressure on her friend, but she could feel that Jiang Yunu seemed too relaxed compared to Linette Nagu.

"It's not that I'm too relaxed," Jiang Yunu said. "It's that Miss Nagu seems too tense. I don't know what kind of pressure she's under."

Lynette Nagu did live her life too tightly.

Recently, except for the large classroom where courses are cross-disciplinary, this young lady rarely appears in public. When asked, she is always doing exercises.

Her independent practice time has far exceeded the average time for first-year students, and is even almost on par with the frequency of daily ability invocation by senior students participating in the association's internship.

This was just a "Challenge Cup" school tournament, not even a district-level one. In the first two rounds, the young lady had performed quite well—was she really so eager to continue to win herself? As if her life would be doomed if she didn't win this next match?

She was working hard with a desperate attitude as if she was trying to save her life.

"I wouldn't say that my power is so great that it can affect the young lady's life, right?" Jiang Yunu said.

Jiang Yunu felt that she did not have such weight. If she really thought so, she would be too self-satisfied.

Thinking of the information Pei Ya had shared before, Jiang Yunu felt that the eldest lady's complacency might have more to do with the other party's family.

She is right.

10pm, study room building.

In the practice room with the electronic sign at the door marked "For Nagu Family Only", Lynette Nagu was half-kneeling on the ground, her golden hair hanging down in disarray.

There was a small puddle of water in front of her, which was the sweat she shed when her supernatural power was about to reach the critical point of core energy storage.

This kind of panting and sweating appearance is not decent and must not be seen by outsiders. It will bring shame to the reputation of the Nagu family.

But fortunately, the practice room she contracted came with a small bathroom and a shower cubicle, so she could clean herself up later, change into spare clothes, and then walk out of here with the perfect demeanor of a Nagu family heir.

The heir of the Nagu family.

When these words came into her mind, Lynette Nagu's hands clenched into fists!

She couldn't accept losing in the next battle! The consequences of failure were too terrible.

The last time she used elemental weapons in a classroom confrontation, and lost to an unknown student from the Seventh District, her family had already found out.

That evening, when she met Jiang Yunu on the school road, the white-haired country girl greeted her as if nothing had happened - she had no idea what she had done to her!

When she returned home that night after losing the classroom competition, Lynette Nagu didn't dare to raise her head as she walked into the entrance hall of the Nagu mansion. She lowered her head and entered the main building of the mansion. The atmosphere at the dinner table was stiff and weird.

The head of the Nagu family said, "Including the time we held a special meeting for you to receive the elemental weapons, and the test showed that your compatibility with the weapons was less than 60% in public, this is already the second time."

What's the second time?

This was the second time she had brought shame to the Nagu family and made her parents ashamed of her!

"Lynette, I don't want to see this happen a third time."

The head of the Nagu family said in a calm tone.

This kind of "anger" that is not expressed is more frightening than emotions that are expressed directly.

What would happen if this happened a third time? Would the title of "Mrs. Nagu" or "Heir to Nagu" be lost on her? Would she still be able to access the resources and support of her family?

Lynette Nagu didn't dare to think about it.

What’s even more frightening is that this topic was brought up again during the winter vacation.

The current head of the Nagu family even chose to casually mention her poor performance last semester during a gathering of senior family members.

What does this mean? The blonde girl knelt on the floor of the practice room, her teeth clacking.

It took her a moment to realize that it wasn't her teeth that were gritting, but her body that was trembling slightly.

After trembling for a while, Lynette Nagu suddenly calmed down. She raised her head and looked at the bag placed in the corner of the practice room.

——There is her "secret magic weapon".
