Chapter 16 Chapter 16 (Catching Bugs) This is the Academy Chapter...
This is the irreconcilable conflict between the principal and the villain in the academy chapter.
The sword that Ren Xiaoyue saw in the lounge was a sealed sword. It hung there like an ordinary decorative sword. No one knew how many people it had killed or how much blood it had seen.
Ren Xiaoyue just looked at the sword and didn't act rashly. After all, her purpose was not to collect artifacts, but to accumulate enough popularity and go home quickly.
Just like now, for the sake of future popularity, she would not have any complaints even if she had to stay in the lounge all day tomorrow.
"I can read "Changes" tomorrow. I have only read half of the book." Ren Xiaoyue said after swallowing the cake in her mouth.
At this point, Ren Xiaoyue had something else to say: "Although it may be a little early to think about this now...but I still want to ask, what about the graduation ceremony in a few weeks? Will I still follow you?"
The principal was leaning on the sofa, changing the TV channels. He turned the TV to a comedy show.
He thought for a moment and said, "For the morning graduation ceremony, you can find a seat downstairs. I may have other things to do during the afternoon graduation party. If you want to attend, let Zhe follow you."
Graduation Festival is an annual event held at the Academy of Superpowers. Simply put, it is a large-scale club activity where students who have not yet graduated will set up various stalls to send off their seniors.
Ren Xiaoyue sighed helplessly: "Graduation Day is not the only one, I'd better stay with you in a place with few people and don't run around."
The principal did not question Ren Xiaoyue's decision. Except for the fact that the principal refused to give Ren Xiaoyue any information about the progress of the kidnapping case, most of the time, the principal would not deny Ren Xiaoyue's decision.
It seems like he treats Ren Xiaoyue as a junior who needs to be taken care of. Ren Xiaoyue was also happy to use this junior status to seek benefits for herself.
"So what's the progress of the investigation? You don't want me to miss every graduation ceremony, do you?" Ren Xiaoyue took the opportunity to act coquettishly, but was hit on the head again.
In fact, it didn't matter whether the principal revealed anything or not. Ren Xiaoyue could fully understand the general situation from the system, but it was illogical not to pretend, so she would ask whenever she had the chance.
The comic is currently being serialized to the point where Lu Ze and others are about to catch Li Hua's mark and realize that he did not come to this city specifically to take revenge on Zhe.
Ren Xiaoyue, who has the script in hand, also knows the subsequent plot. Before they had time to investigate why Lihua came to this city, graduation day arrived. The arrival of Graduation Day put the last piece of the puzzle together for the protagonists. They paid a heavy price and also understood the cause and effect.
Ren Xiaoyue, who has only appeared in a few scenes in the comics recently, goes to work peacefully, cooks, and builds relationships with the principal, waiting for graduation day to arrive.
-
June.
After the final examination, stalls were set up in the college’s large playground, and students showed off their talents at their respective stalls. There were fire-type psychics barbecuing on the street, ice-type psychics making shaved ice, and psychic-type psychics creating illusions. The college is full of vitality and bustling.
Lu Ze, who had been taught to be relaxed during investigations, temporarily stopped tracking Lihua, took Asthe's hand, walked from the handmade soap stall into the shaved ice shop, and ordered two bowls of shaved ice with different flavors.
After they finished their shaved ice, they swaggered towards the next stall. Bertram sat in a fortune-telling stall, took out a tarot card and handed it to the fortune-teller in front of him for interpretation. Berend was pulled forward by his teammates with a helpless look on his face.
Until the end of today, students will be immersed in this cheerful atmosphere and enjoy their graduation day.
Ren Xiaoyue looked down through the window and saw this scroll. She also vaguely saw some students using their special powers to set off fireworks.
"If you're envious, go down and take a walk," the principal walked up to her with his hands behind his back, "I'll ask Zhe to pick you up."
Ren Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head: "How can you tell that I'm envious? I just think it's lively down there."
"Old man, I saw it with both my eyes. You've been standing here for a long time." The principal pointed to his eyes.
"What's the matter? Do you think I'm disturbing you while you're working by standing here?" Ren Xiaoyue took the initiative and said half-jokingly.
Unexpectedly, the principal didn't bother to be polite with her and nodded in acknowledgement.
"There will be guests coming soon, and you won't have the chance to go down. If you really want to join in the fun, call Zhe over quickly." The principal advised her again.
Guests... I'm waiting here for these guests. Ren Xiaoyue thought. She waved her hand and declined politely, "Forget it, forget it. I don't have to join in the fun now. I'll go back to the lounge first. You don't have to worry about me. At most, I can catch up on some sleep."
Ren Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze casually, opened the secret door behind the bookshelf, and walked into the lounge. Before closing the door, she waved goodbye politely.
The moment the door closed, Ren Xiaoyue put away her smile.
This place is set up with a barrier for isolation, and the things being isolated include but are not limited to sound. Ren Xiaoyue can destroy the barrier, but the principal will find out if she does so, so she can only keep the barrier as it is.
I can’t hear any sounds from outside, so I have no idea where the plot will go. Ren Xiaoyue thought as she walked to the sofa.
But it doesn’t matter. Once the villain activates the superpower shielding device, this barrier driven by superpowers will be destroyed. Ren Xiaoyue sat down on the sofa and picked up the unfinished book on the table.
Now, she just needs to wait patiently.
After Ren Xiaoyue closed the door, the principal turned around. He was still standing in front of the window, staring at the students outside. The bustling students were moving around in the playground like busy ants. The principal's expression became even more kind as he looked at this scene.
Children are the future of this world, and these students are the biggest reason why he has been willing to be the principal for so many years.
He stared out the window intently until he heard footsteps in the corridor, then he sat back at his desk and changed his expression.
"Come in," the principal said briefly when there was a knock on the door.
He was very familiar with the person who came in. He was a descendant of his brother's branch who was many generations old and currently worked in the college. Recently, the child was competing for a position with another person. He came several times and wanted the principal to open a backdoor, but the principal did not agree.
This may be the last time, and the principal's patience is limited.
Kane Brown walked in dressed in a formal suit with his head held high. The principal also noticed that there were two people following him, one was a handsome man with black hair and purple eyes, also wearing formal clothes, and the other had red hair and green eyes, dressed casually, walking at the end.
Kane walked to the principal's desk and the principal motioned for him and the person behind him to sit down, but Kane did not sit down, and neither did the person behind him.
Kane cleared his throat and said complacently, "I'm here to solicit investment for you this time! You see, these two are employees of the Everlasting Flower Pharmaceutical Company. They are very interested in the college and want to make some investment."
Seeing Kane like this, the principal sighed in his heart. He suppressed the urge to shake his head and said kindly and calmly: "If this is all you want to say, then contact my assistant and follow the prescribed procedures."
Kane's eyes slightly opened, his smug expression a little embarrassed, he emphasized: "I attracted the investment from the largest biotech company currently?"
The principal resisted the urge to hold his forehead with his hands. He didn't know how his brother's descendants received their family education. This child clearly had some problems with his thinking.
If he wanted to demonstrate his abilities, he should have followed the normal process instead of coming here with two people without any plan or cooperation plan.
“No matter who you bring,” the principal said, “you must follow the procedure.”
Then, the principal turned his gaze to the two people behind Kane with a slightly apologetic look, and said amiably, "I'm glad you're interested in the academy, but I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer right away."
Kane's face turned red and he kept mumbling, "You...I..." for a long time but couldn't say anything.
The principal didn't continue speaking. He didn't want to argue with Kane now. In fact, the principal didn't care about losing face in front of others. When a person's power reaches a certain level, even embarrassing things will be glorified. Besides, the principal had seen many more embarrassing things than this.
But he still remembered the kinship and wanted to save some face for Kane in front of outsiders, but unfortunately Kane did not appreciate it.
"What exactly do you want to make me satisfied?! What exactly do you want to give me that position?!" Kane clenched his fists and roared, his expression distorted.
——"What's wrong with me?!"
The actor on the stage grabbed the clothes on his chest and questioned another actor with an exaggerated expression. Lu Ze sat in the audience, watching with great interest and throwing popcorn into his mouth.
After the last act of the drama was over, Lu Ze walked out of the booth and commented on it with his friends.
"Wow, their performance was so wonderful. It's really worth coming to watch this. What do you think?" Lu Ze turned his head and asked Asther and Bertram.
Luze and Asther met Bertram halfway. Seeing him walking around the graduation festival alone, Luze enthusiastically pulled him along, turning the two-person group into a three-person group.
Bertram pondered for a while, then said, "I was wondering... did you notice?"
"Huh? What what?" Lu Ze asked puzzledly.
Asthe frowned and continued, "Is it because there are more teachers patrolling the graduation festival this year? I saw at least two teachers maintaining order at that booth just now."
Now Lu Ze reacted.
"Oh... this," Lu Ze guessed uncertainly, "The projects approved this year are much more dangerous than last year, and there are many more stalls using supernatural powers. Maybe this is the reason?"
In fact, Lu Ze still had the illusion that there would be a huge crisis later, but his intuition had been wrong several times, and now he was too embarrassed to say it out loud and mislead his teammates. Lu Ze rolled his eyes and said, “Teacher Zhe said he will come today too. If you are worried, let’s go find him together!”
“You guy…” Aster knocked Lu Ze’s head with an unbearable look on her face, “You just want to find a reason to bother the teacher, right?!”
Lu Ze rubbed the back of his head and said with a playful smile: "Hey, the teacher hasn't answered the last question yet, it would be great to find him now! Bertram, what do you think?"
Bertram nodded in agreement.
Two votes to one, Asthe sighed helplessly. No one objected, so the students set out to find their teacher.
