Chapter 024 Heart to Heart
Milo looked at the girl at the door and could remember her specific name and complete superpowers without having to look through the roster.
We met three times in two days... Classmate Chen Xiao'er, we are destined to meet.
"Come in." She narrowed her eyes at the two figures scurrying in like squirrels, then picked up her chalk again. Lines of neat words flowed from the tip of her pen, emitting a unique fluorescent glow.
1. When you encounter a regular or regional* anomaly, you need to pay attention to the nearby prompts, which are often the summaries of previous experience.
2. Don't trust hints easily; carefully identify handwriting. Be especially wary of any "typos" other than those specifically mentioned, as they could be misleading due to high anthropomorphism.
3. Don't be afraid if you are temporarily trapped. Activate your emergency escape device. If that doesn't work, tear open your ID card and activate the [Emergency Contact] function. A specialist will come to rescue you.
…
6. If the above experience and tools are completely ineffective, and the anomaly still exists and is sufficiently malicious and aggressive towards you, please remember:
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Fear is the food of the abyss and the way to death.
…
Safety~
Chen Xiao'er grinned as she found an empty seat and sat down. The classroom looked quite full, but unexpectedly there were two extra stools in the last row.
"......" The students in the front row turned their heads and looked at them silently.
Xiao'er smiled awkwardly: The classmate's expression was so gloomy, could it be that he was sitting in the seat she had reserved in advance?
The other party didn't say much, but slowly twisted his neck and turned back with a crackling sound.
This classmate's cervical spondylosis is really serious.
Xiao'ai couldn't help scratching her neck and sat up straight.
She wanted to take something out to make herself look presentable, but she found that she didn't even bring a notebook, so she had to take out a pen from her bag.
Fortunately, Lin Lang reacted quickly and took two booklets from the girl in front of her. "Here, these are the student introduction brochures distributed during class."
"Thank you, thank you~"
The cover of the "Student Introduction Handbook" is a very simple white printed cover, and it feels a bit sticky like plastic.
Xiao'er hurriedly opened it. The layout inside was very similar to a graduation handbook with a photo column.
The left side of the form has a photo, name and number, and the right side and bottom have the student's hometown, new phone number, high school grades, teacher comments and a self-introduction before the interview.
She quickly flipped through a few pages. Each page had profiles of two or three students, all of whom were freshmen in the same grade as her.
Lin Lang... 18 years old, from the Borderland - Dune City, an outstanding graduate of the Alliance Academy (special recruitment for sports - martial arts).
Proficient in ancient martial arts and modern fighting, with excellent physique and stable personality, good at leading study groups of 3-5 people, and no bad record during his student days.
Her favorite food is full-sugar milk tea, and her idol is the ancient writer Vivian.
Chen Xiao'er looked through the photos in surprise.
Wow! Lin Lang looks so young in the photo, even wearing a pair of dog-ear headbands! Unfortunately, the introduction at the end is so short, probably because of the students' privacy, so there are many interesting things that were not written down.
She flipped through a few pages at random and began looking for her introduction page.
Chen Xiao'er...Chen should be ranked very high, even higher according to id1001.
I looked around, but nothing. I looked around, but nothing.
Xiao Ai flipped through more than a dozen pages in disbelief, but couldn't find her. She soon discovered that the introduction page wasn't sorted alphabetically, nor by ID number, birthplace, or high school.
The sorting rules aren't written out, could it be - grades?!
When she thought of this, cold sweat broke out on her face.
Taoli University is the top university in the country, so the official admission score must be very high. So, my admission score shouldn't be...
Gurgle.
Xiao'ai swallowed nervously, put the brochure on her knees like a thief, and slowly turned to the back to prepare to flip through it from back to front.
His fingers stopped after turning one page.
Because on the penultimate page, apart from the cover, it’s all you!
Chen Xiao'er looked at her lonely photo and the introduction page at the beginning of the last page and was speechless.
Chen Xiao'er, 18 years old, graduated from Changhe No. 12 Middle School with a graduation score of 522, AA+BBA.
Dear teachers and classmates, my wonderful college life ended just as it began.
She slowly buried her head in her arms, thinking of the bold words she had said to her classmates on the first night, "I will definitely hold on until the last day!" Tears of embarrassment could not stop flowing into her heart.
Taoli University has such a high dropout rate. I won’t be asked to drop out and go home after the first round of placement tests after school starts, right?
Then the strange relatives of the Chen family carried pots and pans and danced hula outside the villa to celebrate, no——
Hearing the noise, Lin Lang came over worriedly and gently poked her back: "Xiao'er? Are you okay?"
"fine."
Chen Xiao'er rubbed the dry corners of her eyes on her arm and got up again to attend the class.
She seemed to hear someone pointing and saying, "That's Chen Xiao'er..." However, a closer look revealed that it was an illusion. The classmates were all listening attentively and taking notes, and no one cared at all.
Professor Milo stood in front of the podium. Her posture was very unique, with an elegant tilt even more than that of a model.
The professor's voice was clear and pleasant. He would occasionally use the chalk in his hand to supplement the lesson plan, and also brought a broom and a bucket as teaching aids.
A broom and a bucket?
Chen Xiao'er suspected that she had seen it wrong, but the professor was really holding a long broomstick in his hand, dancing it with graceful movements, and tapping the desks of the students in the front row from time to time.
"Everyone, when you're cleaning, be sure to pay attention to the corners. Otherwise, little biting spiders might jump out from there. Yes, like this, turn the handle on the back of the broom, aim it at the dirt, and swing it hard."
Professor, your teaching style is so humorous, and you even play an anthropomorphic role yourself, but we are all college students... Chen Xiao'er quietly paid attention to the expressions of her classmates and found that no one was laughing. Instead, they were very serious.
Yes, there is nothing funny about teachers who teach seriously.
She gradually put away her divergent thoughts, took a notebook from Lin Lang, and took down the class notes seriously.
1. Keep the dorms clean and have someone check them regularly (student union members?). If they're dirty, you'll be in bad luck (points will be deducted?).
2. There are many restricted areas in the school. Do not go there without permission.
3. Everyone should be united and friendly. After school starts, there will usually be four people in a dormitory (if you don’t clean it well, you will have to live in a dormitory with more people?). The dormitory head will be a junior or senior student!
…
The relaxing first class passed quickly. The teaching assistant walked to the podium, packed up the teaching aids, and left carrying the bucket.
Professor Milo straightened his shoulders, looked at the students below and nodded gently: "get out of class is dismissed. Goodbye everyone."
"Goodbye, Professor~"
The students answered in unison, and Chen Xiao'er shouted "Goodbye, teacher~" while stuffing the pen and introduction booklet back into her bag.
Just as she was about to invite Lin Lang to have lunch, she saw Professor Milo actually walk down from the podium and walk right up to her.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't help but put down her bag, stood up straight and saluted. "Hello, teacher!"
"Chen Xiao'er, come with me." Professor Milo narrowed his golden amber eyes slightly and raised his hand gently.
It was just a friendly gesture and didn't touch her shoulder.
"Okay, teacher!" Chen Xiao'er hurried out of the aisle, nearly tripping over a chair. She gave Lin Lang an embarrassed smile and followed him out tremblingly.
…
Why did the teacher call me to the office?
Are they asking about the train explosion that happened along the way? The police will probably ask me to be a witness.
Xiao'ai stared at the professor's slender swan neck in a daze until the door creaked open and she came to her senses.
"Come in."
Milo stood by the door, his thin black gloves pressing on the metal door handle, the rose pattern on it slightly wrinkled.
"Ah... OK."
Chen Xiao'er hurried in and felt a cool breeze when she stepped into the room.
The air conditioning in the room was turned on very low and my knees were cold.
There is also the smell. The professor probably pays great attention to hygiene. There is a faint smell of disinfectant near the table, which is very similar to mint soap.
"sit."
Seeing her standing there, not daring to move, Milo took the first step and sat on the sofa, patting the seat next to him very naturally. This sofa could accommodate three people sitting side by side, and the comfortable leather was covered with a piece of linen fabric.
Xiao'er sat down slowly, putting her ankles together.
"Want some candy? Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you."
Miroku smiled softly.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't relax. The more she said this, the more serious the situation became.
She almost bit her tongue: "I think so~ Teacher, what do you want to talk about?"
Milo took out a piece of fruit candy from his arms and gently placed it in her hand.
"Zheng Lu, the student you recommended to the school, is very outstanding. As long as she passes the first-year exam, she can be enrolled in the teaching system."
"Great~ She'll be able to come to class soon, right?"
Xiao'er's shoulders relaxed slightly. She took the fruit candy and put it into her mouth without even looking at it. Then she silently took the candy wrapper out of her mouth and held it in her palm.
"She lived in the mountains before and may have some special illness. She needs to be observed in the infirmary for a period of time."
Miroku tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa and asked casually, "Are you used to school? Have you changed your mind?"
"I'm used to it! The sleeping bag is very comfortable. I slept very well."
Thinking of Taoli University's astonishing dropout rate, Chen Xiao'e cheered up and nodded vigorously. "My classmates are also very friendly. I can't wait to clean the dormitory and participate in group study with everyone!"
"That's good. I've always been optimistic about you."
"Hehe~Thank you, teacher."
Just as Chen Xiao'er glanced towards the door and thought the conversation was over, she suddenly heard a sentence.
"You met the student union today, didn't you?"
“…”
Why does the professor know?
Xiao'er's fingers tightened nervously. I ran into Ling and the other student union leaders in the hallway, then went straight to class.
The professor has been teaching in the classroom and would not have known about this unless someone specifically informed him.
Is this matter so important that the professor should take me to his office for a chat right after class?
"Teacher? I, I did meet someone from the student council. I met them before class. The senior came to help me because she saw me almost getting caught by a kitten!"
Professor Milo looked at her face quietly until Xiao'er finished her sentence, then he nodded slightly downward as if to comfort her.
"Xiao'e, don't take it too seriously. Student union members are indeed special, but I'm not pursuing anything. You haven't done anything wrong."
She considered her words and looked at Chen Xiao'er sincerely: "Actually, besides your opinion of the school, I also want to ask-"
Her golden amber eyes flickered. "What do you think of the Student Council, or rather, Senior Zero?"
"How do you feel about the apostles, especially Zero?"
"What a nice view--"
The longing buried deep in her heart blurted out, Xiao Ai blushed and lowered her head, mumbling: "If you want to join the student union, I need it, it's nothing~ Teacher, I just asked casually."
Mi Luo looked at her dodging eyes and smiled for a long time: "I understand, you should go back and rest first."
"Thank you, teacher~" Chen Xiao'er felt as if she had been pardoned and ran towards the door as if escaping.
As she touched the door handle and hurriedly closed the door, she heard the professor's slightly teasing voice behind her.
"Don't be so nervous next time. We might become colleagues in the future."
"Hey, hey hey."
Chen Xiao'er laughed dryly twice, closed the door and ran away.
Professor…I haven’t even graduated yet, so stop joking with me.
…
The door clicked shut, and the smile on Miroku's face instantly disappeared, leaving only deep fatigue.
She sighed, rubbed the bridge of her nose with her fingers, took off her glasses, and sat down behind her desk. Her spine remained straight, but her shoulders slumped, as if they were collapsing.
Beep.
A reminder popped up on the computer screen.
Milo put his glasses back on, silently read the large amount of text that appeared on the screen, and typed the first line.
Regarding the special individual - Chen Xiao'er, my personal suggestion
After a pause of a few seconds, the second half of the sentence poured out smoothly.
[Destructive experiments and material recycling are not considered for now. Her unique features are still under development, and more forward-looking attempts can be made, such as joining the Apostle Project.]
A line of red words instantly appeared on the screen.
[The Apostle Plan has entered its final stage. The formation is fixed, making it difficult to add or remove Apostles.]
Next is a line of white font.
[Individual Chen Xiao'er's superpowers are incompatible with her apostle status, so this is rejected.]
…
Click, click. Fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard.
She can participate in the project in another way.
They will agree.
Miroku said expressionlessly: Everything is for humanity.
