Chapter 80 Missing
The temperature in the Federation was more than ten degrees lower than in Osland, but Carl, sitting in the wind, felt a burning sensation all over his body. He quietly finished another cigarette, but the pain in his wounds still wouldn't ease, so he stood up and stood among the cigarette butts on the ground.
"It looks quite similar," he said to himself as he looked at the lighted room.
Unlike the doll in his dreams every night, the one who just walked out was a handsome boy. But when Karl looked at those bright eyes and the little expressions every time he was angry, he knew at first sight that it was her.
He looked up at the night sky again. He was very familiar with the Federation's nights, but no night was like tonight that made him look at it again and again.
He took out the chewing gum and threw it into his mouth, closed his eyes tiredly, and disappeared from the spot the next second.
A two-story building.
Carl returned to his room and fell to his knees the next second after appearing out of thin air, spitting out blood.
He licked his bloody back teeth, smiled evilly, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand nonchalantly.
"Luckily it didn't spill on the carpet, or she would be mad again."
Carl couldn't get up, so he simply rolled over on the blood-stained floor.
He looked at the ceiling light and his vision began to blur.
In truth, Zong Fang had delivered that blow without reservation, certain the madman was killing him. But his professional instincts saved him once again. In the instant of attack, Carl angled his body, avoiding the fatal blow. It took him three days to recover from his beastly form and return to human form. But, concerned about Qiao Sui Sui's condition at school, he stubbornly used his gift to travel to her building. Activating his gift while old injuries were still healing was extremely damaging.
But it was worth it tonight.
He had originally planned not to meet her, after all, he had said such hurtful things, and he didn't even dare to call her with his ID, for fear that she wouldn't answer. But when he thought of her completely indifferent attitude, Carl felt twisted again.
Carl wanted her to remember him, wanted her to see him.
When this thought came to his mind, he finally understood the moments of self-deception in the past. He teased her, said something provocative, and made her angry, all to attract her attention.
The man let out a low laugh from his chest. He put his wrist over his eyes, and that laugh was filled with bitterness, regret, and helplessness.
He was wrong. In reality, Qiao Suisui had never been weak. Just looking at her relationships with those men revealed who was in a higher position and who was at the bottom, who was constantly panicking and clinging to her, and who was desperately trying to escape and gain freedom. He'd thought she was dependent on those men, but it turned out that all men, including him, couldn't live without her.
Carl became more and more clear-headed as he thought about it while in a coma, until he could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

After a few days, Qiao Susu had gotten used to living in the school dormitory.
These days, they have been waiting for all the new students who have been admitted to the supplementary program to be confirmed before they can start formal classes.
AOIS's teaching model is highly flexible, offering personalized instruction tailored to each student's individual needs. First, every incoming student undergoes a comprehensive mental and physical assessment. They then have a one-on-one discussion with their instructor, focusing on determining their one-year goals. During this process, the instructor will help you break down your short-term and phased goals into specific goals, tracking your progress in real time. Furthermore, to ensure every new student's growth is fully considered, each instructor is limited to a maximum of six students, demonstrating their commitment to responsibility.
After the one-year novice protection period, you will enter the practical part of the test. At this time, you are still an AOIS student, but many courses are grafted with various federal departments. AOIS focuses more on applying what you learn, rather than just learning by heart.
Finally, if you successfully pass the practical portion of the exam, you can begin to establish your life's direction. At this stage, many orcs choose to stay in the department where they practiced, seeking a stable career. Others choose to remain on campus, driven by their deep connection to AOIS and a desire to contribute their learning to the institution. Therefore, in the third year, there's little pressure to meet coursework or credits, allowing you to fully utilize your strengths and arrange your own time and activities.
What surprised Qiao Sui Sui was that so few people chose to continue their studies. She had assumed that a top school like AOIS would have countless people striving to reach the next level. After all, after graduation, there would be no more resources and opportunities like those filled with industry experts.
“That’s because we don’t encourage students to study for the sake of learning,” Akin explained.
Today is the day of the test. She had met Dr. Li before and he asked her to arrange a knowledgeable and trustworthy mentor for her. This person was Ajin, so she didn't have to worry about being exposed.
"Qiao, your time at AOIS isn't too much, but it's not too little either. In the future, you'll slowly begin to feel what we truly advocate."
Qiao Susu nodded without asking any further questions and focused her attention on the magnet in front of her.
The magnet is embedded in a huge instrument panel. All the pointers remain in their original positions. Above the instrument panel is an electronic screen as thin as a cicada's wing.
"Put your hand up when you're ready, and your data will be displayed on the screen."
"good."
Although they came very early to avoid other people, and there were only her and Ajin in the test room at this time, she still couldn't help feeling nervous.
What if Jin saw her being a failure and decided not to mentor her anymore? After all, mentors get promoted by helping students make significant progress.
Qiao Susu took a deep breath and gently placed her hand on the magnet. The magnet emitted a purple light, and the pointer on the dashboard swayed back and forth. A female virtual human image was displayed on the screen, with various numerical values on the right. The values were changing rapidly and could not be fixed.
Ah Jin was a little surprised. "How could this happen? Is it a malfunction?"
Qiao Susu took her hand away and Ajin put his hand on it. In less than 3 seconds, the screen immediately gave all the data, and the pointer was stably fixed on a scale almost the next second after Ajin put his hand on it.
"Joe, try again."
"good."
Her palms were a little sweaty, and she applied the cool magnet again.
This time, the dashboard didn't shake back and forth, but instead spun rapidly like a clock, round and round. Qiao Suisui looked up at the screen and saw that only her mental strength and talent immediately appeared. The others, such as endurance, speed, visual communication, physical fitness, jumping ability, etc., were just scrolling numbers.
Ah Jin pushed his glasses and said, "We've never seen such a situation since the school was founded. It's strange. Qiao, you should go back first. I'll consult Dr. Li first before we discuss this in detail."
Qiao Suisui had no choice but to nod in agreement. She and Ajin parted ways in the corridor. Qiao Suisui stood in the corridor for a while and then returned to the examination room.
One last time, she would try one last time.
Thinking this, she placed her hand on the magnet. This time, the purple light directly impacted the entire room, turning it into a vast expanse of white. Qiao Suisui squinted her eyes and slowly opened them, seeing the data displayed on the screen was completely different from the previous one!
