The leaders and teachers at the meeting were all stunned.
The staff member who had set Xia Chujian's application for a death certificate template to "review" status quickly said, "I didn't approve it! It wasn't me!"
His leader said, "Go and see what's going on..."
The man pulled out his virtual display and looked at it for a moment.
Then he said with a sad face: "...It wasn't Xia Chujian who applied, it was Wenren Sanshang..."
"After he applied, we didn't have any manual review, so the machine intelligence directly approved it and sent it out."
"Then the two quickly signed, making the death warrant legally valid."
Then he checked the time and said in surprise, "They agreed that the duel will be at 12 noon today... before lunch."
They had no other choice but to cancel the meeting and report it directly.
Just then, Zong Ruoning was thinking about going to talk to Xia Chujian, when he saw the message from the school's legal department.
"Xia Chujian and Wenren Sanshang have signed the duel agreement, which is now legally binding."
Zong Ruoning immediately sent them a video call invitation.
The call was connected quickly.
Zong Ruoning asked, "Can this life and death agreement be cancelled?"
The staff over there said: "Yes, as long as both parties agree, it can be cancelled."
Another staff member said: "If there are errors in the signed legal documents, they can also be invalidated."
Zong Ruoning said, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
This stumped the legal staff.
Because the duel agreement, commonly known as a life and death agreement, is a standard legal document that has been rigorously tested by various legal experts and countless legal practices.
Unless the two signatures are signed incorrectly, there will be no mistakes.
The legal department carefully checked the two signatures and found no mistakes.
Zong Ruoning looked at the time. There were less than three hours left before the duel between the two.
He said, "Send me the death warrants they signed, and I'll figure out a solution."
The legal department sent a backup to Zong Ruoning.
Zong Ruoning immediately sent a message to Quan Yuxun's private quantum optical computer number.
[Zong Ruoning]: Quan Yuxun, I have something important to discuss with you, please come back quickly.
Quan Yuxun happened to be still sleeping.
He spent the entire New Year attending various banquets and cocktail parties on behalf of the Quan family, and did not return home until after midnight every day.
Sometimes it would even last until two or three in the morning.
During the day I usually sleep until almost noon before getting up.
Today is only the second day after the New Year, and he is no exception.
…
At the same time, the news that Xia Chujian and Wenren Sanshang signed a life-and-death agreement and agreed to a duel before lunch, at the instigation of Wenren Sanshang, instantly ignited the school's website forum.
#Big news, big news! First-year international student Wenren Mikami and this year's top scorer in the Imperial College Entrance Examination, Xia Chujian, are going to duel! #.
This post quickly became popular on the school forum and was pushed to the top of the school's hot topics by countless people.
There is no ban on guns in the military academy of the Beichen Empire, but every year there are a few unlucky people who die from the guns of others, intentionally or unintentionally.
Although someone was held responsible, it was very easy for aristocratic students to find a scapegoat.
So for them, death is not news.
The duel is the news!
This kind of drama where people openly shoot and kill people without being held responsible has not appeared in the military academy of the Beichen Empire for many, many years.
Because no one is stupid.
Noble students would definitely not sign a life and death agreement with commoner students.
For them, why risk their lives if the problem can be solved with money?
However, due to objective conditions, civilian students are not as good at shooting as aristocratic students. No one would be so idle as to give aristocratic students the right to kill them openly, so they would not sign.
This has led to the fact that duels involving life-and-death agreements have not occurred in all military academies of the Beichen Empire for two or three hundred years.
Therefore, as soon as this life-or-death statement came out, it immediately became popular in various sections of the school forum.
It even went viral, with screenshots being taken and posted on forums of other military academies in the Beichen Empire.
Except for the social media that is not on StarNet, the entire military system of the Beichen Empire knows everything that can be known.
Someone remembered the three shots that Xia Chujian fired at the beginning of the school year and posted a comment on the forum.
"My fellow students, I think Xia is quite impressive. Do you remember when school started? Even though she fired from behind, she was able to block all three of Wenren Sanshang's shots?!"
"No way?! So that sharpshooter is Xia Chujian?!"
"Oh my God! I don't believe it! Why?! Does her family own a mine?!"
"How many Beichen coins did it take to build up this shooting skill?!"
"Are you guys bragging?! How can you fight like that?! I think you're dazzled!"
"I don't believe it either! Is there any surveillance video?!"
“Who filmed the video?”
"...Are you kidding me? Those three shots were as fast as lightning. Who the hell has time to take a video?!"
"Someone pointed a gun at you, and your reaction was to take a video first instead of shooting back?!"
"Haha, there's no video, no truth. You ordinary students just like to create heroes for yourselves..."
"Don't brag too much, or you'll fall too hard!"
Everyone was talking about it, but unfortunately the surveillance footage at that time was retained by the Special Security Bureau, and not many students saw it with their own eyes, so there were more students who didn't know or didn't believe Xia Chujian's true strength.
For example, Mai Aotuo knew at the time that someone had fought with Wenren Sanshang three times, but he had no idea that the person was Xia Chujian.
