33. No death is better than social death
After talking with the department head, Su Liu decided to take the test.
It was the third day of the combat department's midterm exams. Class 1 had no classes in the afternoon, so Su Liu and Yan Ziyan went to watch the game.
After landing on the island, Su Liu learned his lesson and first took some food from the red stall and carried it with him for later use.
Because today is the last day, the principal decided to let the students come and watch the game, which would be more or less inspiring.
Yan Ziyan looked at the rankings on the campus website as she walked and said, "The current top scorer is still Bi Yanmian. He has a thousand points just for speedrunning the Galan Tower, and then there are the individual battles and team battles, and he hasn't lost a single time."
"Who's the second place?" Su Liu asked.
"Feyali Martinez is also a formidable character. She was already an S-class esper in her first year." Yan Ziyan looked at the scores and was a little surprised. "She's very close to Bi Yanmian, with only a difference of twenty or so points."
You know, Bi Yanmian has a bonus for quickly clearing "evil disasters", but Fei Yali is not far behind.
Yan Ziyan had not paid attention to the battle situation before, and was surprised to see that the points difference among the top ten was not much.
"No wonder even Admiral Ives came to watch the battle in person. The second-year combat classes are indeed a bit absurdly strong. Could they all be perverts like Bi Yanmian?"
When he heard a certain name, Su Liu subconsciously pressed his chest.
Very mild palpitations.
here we go again.
It’s better to make an appointment with the school doctor. If he dies of a heart attack, Zhang Yanchen and Lin Roufang will laugh their heads off.
The entire island was packed with people; even the first-year combat students took their day off to help the second-year students as volunteers.
Yan Ziyan became very interested in Fei Yali and dragged Su Liu to watch the game.
This was a team battle, and Fei Yali's team easily crushed the other team.
The victory was glorious, but the battle ended quickly and was not very entertaining as we didn't even get to see Fei Yali actually make a move.
Yan Ziyan was not interested. "If I had known earlier, I should have watched the third and fourth place qualifying matches."
She waited for a long time but didn't hear Su Liu's reply. She turned her head and found that Su Liu was looking in a farther direction.
It was an open-air fighting arena, with a layout similar to that of an international stadium. At the bottom was the fighting stage, surrounded by tens of thousands of seats arranged in a stepped pattern.
At this moment, earth-shaking shouts came from the stadium, just like those crazy and excited fans waving flags and cheering for the team they support.
Yan Ziyan checked the official website. "That's one of the assessment locations for the alien beast elimination battle. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Let's go."
The duel arena was already full, and Su Liu and the other two were able to enter through the back door because they were students of the school.
There were too many people inside, shoulder to shoulder, and it was impossible to get through. As soon as they entered, Su Liu and Yan Ziyan got separated.
Everywhere was filled with human walls. Su Liu was at the very back and could only hear roars, shouts, cheers, and the howls of strange beasts released from cages.
Even if I jumped, I couldn't get over the wall of people and see what was happening below.
After half an hour, I saw nothing but heads.
Might as well find somewhere to eat something.
Coming to the shady passage, Su Liu sat cross-legged on the ground and ate pastries.
She went to the fields at around five in the morning, was busy until eight o'clock and then hurried to class. During the breaks, she had to help her classmates solve some difficult problems.
Before she had lunch, she received a call from the purifier, saying that there were foreign plants in the field next to her, and her pumpkin vines were accidentally damaged during the purification process. She hurried to deal with it again.
I had just finished my work when Yan Ziyan dragged me to watch the game. I haven't even had a sip of water yet.
Su Liu was stuffing food into his mouth when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from one end of the passage.
There seemed to be quite a few people coming, so she leaned aside to make way and continued eating while looking at the laptop.
The footsteps came closer and closer, and when they passed by her, they didn't continue to move forward but stopped instead.
Just then, a message from Yan Ziyan popped up: I found two seats to watch the game, hurry up and come over before someone else takes them! (Location)
Su Liu replied: Right away.
She took a piece of cake and put it in her mouth and chewed it quickly. Just as she was about to get up, she caught a glimpse of a pair of leather boots in front of her.
This style seems to be military?
She looked up along the leather boots, marveling at what a straight and powerful pair of legs they were, and... don't look at anything inappropriate.
When he continued to look up and saw the pair of emerald green eyes under the brim of the hat, Su Liu stopped chewing.
Huo Jie stood in front of her, looking at her with a half-smile.
Behind Huo Jie, there were several generals who were often seen in the news. They all stopped because of Huo Jie and saluted her.
Su Liu, whose cheeks were puffed up like a pufferfish, was stunned for a long time. After he came to his senses, he finally remembered to swallow the pastry in his mouth.
But the more panicked she was, the easier it was to make mistakes. Her mouth was already full, and when she tried to swallow hard, she choked. She pounded her chest and glared for a long time, unable to swallow. She choked and her face turned red, and she had difficulty breathing.
At the critical moment, Huo Jie struck her on the back with a palm.
I have to say that the strength of this palm strike was very well controlled. It didn't make her feel any pain, but it also made her spit out the pastry that was stuck in her throat.
"Are you feeling better?" The Admiral's tone was concerned, but so gentle that it seemed as if he was deliberately hiding a smirk.
Su Liu was instantly burning from head to toe, as red as a boiled shrimp.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at Huo Jie. She explained awkwardly, "I haven't eaten anything today, and I was in a hurry to meet up with my companions. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
"No, that's not the case." Huo Jie glanced at the crowded inner field, "Are there any spectator seats?"
Su Liu was about to answer yes when Yan Ziyan's message popped up again: It's over, someone has taken it.
“…It’s gone now.”
"Then let's go together."
Su Liu was about to say no when she realized that Huo Jie was not asking for her opinion at all. After saying this, she strode into the inner court.
Being watched by other generals, Su Liu scratched his head and ears, but had to bite the bullet and follow.
The general is in the VIP viewing room, which has an excellent location and is equipped with sofas, projection screens, air conditioners, etc. It is much more comfortable than being exposed to the sun outside.
After entering the VIP room, Su Liu originally stood at the back of the generals.
After Huo Jie sat down on the sofa in the middle, he turned around and looked at Su Liu who was moldering alone in the corner.
"Can you see it?"
“Yes.”
"You're so short, can you really see it?"
“…”
Huo Jie patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit down."
Su Liu stiffened his neck and said, "I like standing."
The Admiral narrowed his eyes slightly.
"But my legs get numb after standing for a long time. It's more comfortable to sit down." Su Liu went over and sat down quickly.
In the entire hall, he and the admiral were the only ones sitting there, which made Su Liu feel very uncomfortable, with his butt just touching the edge of the sofa.
The admiral noticed her embarrassment.
"There's no need to be so distant. Maybe sooner or later we'll become a family."
Su Liu's heart sank slightly, "I really can't get along with your brother."
"Ansel is certainly arrogant and frivolous, but after getting to know him, you'll find he also has his shining points."
"For example?"
The Admiral thought about it carefully.
Then a strange silence fell.
