Chapter 219: Lanqi's Evolution
It was mid-November, and it was already about winter.
The arrival of the visiting academic team from Alolan Royal College started last Sunday.
Ten days have passed since the two-week academic visit.
It was cloudy and rainy in Ikerite, and a strong wind blew on campus again after a long absence, and the temperature dropped significantly.
"What a noisy weather."
After class on Wednesday, there were basically no students picnicking or reading on the lawn. They all wrapped up tightly and walked hurriedly, just wanting to get back to the dormitory from the classroom as soon as possible to avoid the wind that made their hair messy and the sky that might rain at any time.
At the end of the road where the students passed, there was a huge green garden with trees huddled together, and the leaves trembled in the wind. Only the old liberal arts building stood tall in the wind.
Student Union Room on the third floor.
Outside the window, the cold wind was light and indifferent, wandering unscrupulously on the wall, trying to find a gap in the window sill to invade.
However, in this warm space, the heavy curtains and solid walls keep the cold wind and chill out, leaving only the cozy feeling of home.
Vice President Asna was sorting documents leisurely beside the bookcase, but the president was nowhere to be seen.
The academic visit to Alolan Royal College is now drawing to a close, and the affairs of the Student Union are no longer so busy.
The peaceful passage of the past few days finally allowed Dean Loren to put his mind at ease. All he had to do was send all the surviving students of the Yalolan Kingdom back the day after tomorrow and everything would be fine.
There were two other people sitting on the sofa in the lounge area of the Student Union Room, with a cup of hot tea and hot cocoa on the coffee table, enjoying this brief moment of peace and quiet.
"If that's the case, why don't you just send your trump card, Tserwini, into action sooner rather than later?!"
"No way! I will never let you disturb the big sister's bar exam!"
"Then enjoy yourself!"
“Aaaaaaah!”
"..."
Hyperion held her chin in her hand with a confused look, her attention completely focused on the magic screen hanging on the wall of the Student Union Room.
The screen is playing audio and video of the artificial film world activities taking place on campus.
The film world currently being shown looks like a laboratory. The transparent life-support cabins around it are filled with horrific scenes. Some humans and demons are fixed, their limbs are ruthlessly torn, twisted, and sewn together, turning them into indescribable forbidden creatures.
The sunken area in the center of the laboratory was a circular arena with iron chains hanging on the walls. At the other end of the chains were miserable corpses, some of which had rotted away to the point where only bones were left, as if foreshadowing the fate of the losers.
In this arena where there is no escape, the cold light makes every muscle line look metallic. The ten fighters have different shapes, but each one is strong and tight. There is no sound of weapons clashing on the battlefield at this moment. Instead, there is a sense of oppression when bodies clash with each other, and the dull thunderous sound of bones and muscles colliding.
They were fighting a five-on-five team battle.
However, this is not an evenly matched battle.
It was clearly a one-sided abuse.
The stronger fighter charged forward like a tiger, using his skills and body flexibility to avoid the opponent's attacks. Then, with the help of his own strength, he took big strides and took the opportunity to throw his opponent heavily to the ground, trampling on his opponent with his weight and extremely powerful kicks, causing spider-web-like cracks on the ground.
The cruel loud noises again and again made Hyperion's brows twitch.
The one who was unable to fight back had a face distorted with pain and fear.
After watching for a while, the picture seemed to end and was switched to another shadow world.
"It was a completely one-sided beating."
Hyperion took a sip of the hot cocoa, then shook her head with pity and expressed her thoughts.
Even though her demon bloodline gave her a little instinctive desire to fight, she still felt the cruelty of the battle just now.
Sitting on the same sofa, Lanqi next to her was originally reading silently, and just now he raised his eyes slightly to look at the arena on the screen.
"Why do people like to fight?"
Lanqi still had that nonchalant attitude and sighed.
"Sometimes it's good to fight with a purpose, as a form of motivation. For example, on campus, if there is no competition at all, everyone might slack off."
Hyperion has always felt that Lanci takes winning or losing too lightly.
Maybe, he should be more competitive in order to become more normal?
“…”
Lanqi looked at the book in his hand again while thinking, "Is education really like this?"
He murmured.
It seemed that Hyperion's words just now made him realize something.
"?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing that Lanqi understood what she meant so easily, Hyperion felt a little uneasy.
She leaned over and tilted her head to look at the cover of the book in Lanqi's hand.
It turned out to be a book that Lanqi had borrowed from the Ancient Tower Library of Sage's Court last weekend.
The title reads: "The Origin and Evolution of Species".
Hyperion: "..."
"It says, 'Survival of the fittest.'"
Lanci explained.
"No... I don't think it's that cruel here..."
Hyperion choked for a long time before finally starting to speak.
She suspected that Lanqi would never forget his Purgatory Corridor Academy. This guy's educational philosophy was more or less deeply influenced by the demons.
The environment on the southern continent is generally more peaceful and stable than that on the northern continent where the demons exist. It is rich in resources, has convenient trade and transportation, and there are no disaster areas left by the failure of the ninth-level shadow world on land.
Hyperion heard that in the large colleges and universities under the management of the Education Department of the Protoss Empire, a giant empire on the south coast of the Northern Continent, there was a strict system of hierarchy and survival of the fittest. Not only was there fierce competition among students, there was even vicious competition, and the struggles between schools had many dark sides.
In comparison, the orderly, friendly campus in the southern continent is simply a paradise.
Of course, people living in different environments will show different mental outlooks and adaptability. This may be the reason why Lanqi was tortured in Ikerita Academy during the day on the first day of school, and took direct charge of thunder and lightning at Purgatory Corridor Academy at night.
No one knows whether the northern continent may be a more suitable soil for Lanqi.
Just as Hyperion was struggling over how to discuss this misunderstanding in depth with Lanci, the door of the student union room was opened and the student council president walked in.
Monast's pear-wood-colored hair is soft and unrestrained, and his friendly aura is slightly majestic.
And behind him followed Frey.
Apparently they had just returned from the Knights' Court.
Monast would only take Frey with him when he went to the Knights' Court to deal with troublesome matters.
