Chapter 15
"It has been two months since everyone entered the Secret Script High School for Supernatural Powers. I believe everyone has mastered the common sense of the supernatural world, right?"
It is obvious that the students have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, and they have not yet reacted even after receiving the task guide materials.
Seeing everyone's response in unison, Xi Siling silently felt sorry for them in his heart for a few seconds.
"The midterm exam questions have been released. This time it's different from the previous ones, so everyone should be mentally prepared." Xi Siling's expression still looked very serious. "Everyone, please take a close look at the materials that have been distributed. This midterm will be conducted in the form of actual combat, dealing with the living dead that appear in the city."
The quiet classroom was in an uproar, and then everyone began to discuss the matter in a low voice.
The living dead is not just common knowledge in the supernatural world; everyone has more or less seen similar news.
Some even saw it in person.
But having seen it doesn't mean that one can kill it successfully. The psychological barrier mentioned by Si Ling before is the biggest problem.
Fortunately, young people are always unwilling to admit defeat. At least now they still retain their passion to try.
"Since the assessment method has changed, the method of determining the results will also change. The method of killing zombies, the impact on the surrounding area, and the time it takes to complete the task will all be taken into account. Everyone must take it seriously."
Xi Siling tried to make it sound as light-hearted as possible and did not want everyone to have too much psychological burden.
He gave the students some more time to think before asking them to raise their hands to ask questions.
"If you have any questions, ask them now."
"Senior! Do we really have to go and kill the living dead ourselves?"
This guy has some background, and he probably noticed something was wrong, which is why he asked such a question.
What else could Xi Siling do? He could only help with patching.
"This is what the Academic Affairs Office has arranged. Don't worry, it won't exceed your capabilities. The school has high hopes for you."
After hearing what Xi Siling said, the child relaxed. After all, how could the school drag them to die? At least their safety was guaranteed.
In Xi Siling's eyes, the expressions of the classmates were very interesting.
Indeed, he said that this was the school's arrangement, but the person who caused the trouble is not dead yet.
Since Liuhuaqi is also going on a mission, there is no way there will be no accidents during the mission.
"Senior, are we going to proceed with the previous grouping?"
"Yes, the group score is the individual score."
"Senior, where is the location?"
“The location will be communicated before the exam.”
Everyone asked several questions one after another, and Xi Siling answered them patiently, and the meeting was over soon.
Xi Siling clapped his hands, "That's it for now. If you have any questions later, come down and find me or Teacher Shayin. I wish you all good luck in the midterm exams in advance."
The last class of the first grade is a self-study class. Most students will choose to go to the fighting arena to compete with their friends. If they have any questions related to superpowers, they will go to the school library. Few students stay in the classroom.
After Xi Siling finished speaking, everyone left together. He looked at Liuhuaqi, who was left at the end, and smiled at him.
"What do you mean, are you confident?"
After a brief moment of daze, Liu Huaqi responded to Xi Siling, "Will the senior from the department go with me?"
No matter how confused his memory was, it was impossible for him to forget the main events he encountered in his first year of Secret Writing. At that time, the school did not require them to kill any zombies.
Was it because of the butterfly effect after I started over again? This was the only way Liu Huaqi could explain it to himself.
After temporarily letting go, Liuhuaqi naturally put his focus back on Xi Siling.
He was asking the question sincerely.
But if I remember correctly, Si Ling was busy with other things during the midterm exam and missed the incident when he lost his supernatural powers. He only came back after the dust settled and in the end he could only see me off.
Hmm... I really hope the butterfly effect can be a little more powerful, Liuhuaqi thought.
Xi Siling couldn't guess what Liu Huaqi was thinking, but his midterm exam was the least important. Since the old thief wanted to cause trouble, it was even more impossible for him not to participate.
But he couldn't rush to show that he was eager to participate. It would be best to decide a day or two in advance so as to catch the old thief off guard.
"I'm not sure yet. I don't know how the second-year midterm exam will be conducted."
He made a regretful expression.
"If you really are the only one going, the assessment will be much simpler. Be careful."
Just hearing this, it didn't seem like he could go, and Liu Huaqi suddenly didn't want to participate anymore.
It's just a matter of killing the living dead, which is a piece of cake for him. If the senior students in the department really can't participate, he will be too lazy to spend time on it.
In other words, if Liu Huaqi had not promised his senior in the department to participate in the mid-year competition, win the first place and join the Lingyan class with him, he would have even wanted to take this opportunity to leave the Secret Script Academy of Supernatural Powers.
Things are different now, and for the sake of expectation he is still willing to be patient.
"I will get good grades, senior, don't worry!"
The boy's complicated thoughts only lasted for a moment in reality, and he did not show anything wrong.
——
After saying goodbye to Liu Huacui, Xi Siling went straight to Teacher Xishan's office.
Whether he can take his midterm exam with Liuhuaqi ultimately depends on whether Teacher Xishan agrees.
Xishan is a separate office, so Liuhuaqi is not worried about being heard by other teachers or classmates.
The main problem lies with Sha Yin. He has been too deeply influenced by the old thief, and he knows in advance that there is a high probability that he will interfere.
"Si Ling, I was just about to look for you, you know, that..."
"No."
"Oh? Why did you change your mind this time?"
Xishan was surprised by Xi Siling's resolute attitude and couldn't help but tease.
Young people all have a bit of pride.
Xi Siling also came to his senses after suffering a great loss, unlike Teacher Xishan, who saw the possible outcome from the beginning.
The past was the past, and the present is the present. Why would he suffer the same loss twice? He is not a fool.
"He can't die without me. It's better to say he's dead."
"Did you really take the wrong medicine?"
Perhaps it was because these words were too heartless and did not sound like something Xi Siling would say at all, Xishan looked at him with suspicion.
It’s not that I think he is not Si Ling, but I think he has been stimulated by something.
Whenever Xi Siling thought of this incident, she wanted to laugh - she laughed out of anger.
"No, I just think what Teacher Xishan said is right. Even if those people of mine weren't there, he wouldn't have died."
There seemed to be some strange changes in the boy's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment, and Xishan almost thought he had seen it wrong.
"Your eyes...?"
Xi Siling looked up, "My eyes? What happened to my eyes?"
Xishan was extremely confused, not knowing whether Xi Siling's eyes had really changed or he had seen it wrong?
Not really? Is it just that your eyesight is blurry?
"It's okay, I saw it wrong."
Xishancai refused to admit it.
Xi Siling didn't take it seriously. "Anyway, I hope the teacher can refuse it for me."
Xishan was of course happy that his student no longer rushed forward like a stubborn donkey.
"I've been waiting for you to say this. Adults should pay the price for their actions. It's not always possible to make amends."
Xishan patted Xi Siling's shoulder hard as if he was very proud, and he almost laughed out loud.
Xi Siling rubbed his shoulders, which must have been red from being slapped, and thought that Teacher Xishan was still as strong as ever.
But Teacher Xishan really cared about me, and this teacher-student relationship continued until ten years later. It can be said that he was the most respected elder in the department.
No doubt about it.
"Oh, I almost forgot what you wanted to say to me just now."
Xishan was in a good mood, but it was strange that he still remembered that he came here for something.
Xi Siling did not beat around the bush and expressed his demands very directly.
That is to go to the freshman class 1 to take the midterm exam.
As for the reason, of course it was because Liuhuaqi was not divided into groups in the class, and he was always the one to take over when needed.
"...I just told you not to be so kind, and yet you come closer again?" Teacher Xishan seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became indescribable.
Xi Siling:......
It’s not a good thing to imagine too much, Mr. Xishan.
"That kid got along with me, so I wanted to help him."
Liuhuacui, because his own students paid more attention to it, Xishan also paid a little attention to it.
To be honest, he didn't like the boy very much, although the disgust came from nowhere.
But since Xi Siling thought it was okay, he would show some concern for her out of concern for her.
"Okay, then you can go with him to take the exam. I also heard that the first-year midterm exam is coming up. It's really messed up."
Even Xishan, who considered himself the most devilish person, did not agree to let the students take on the task of killing the living dead so early. As a result, they really did it with confidence and boldness.
Nonsense.
"Be careful, and don't be stubborn if there's anything you can't handle."
Perhaps because his perception of conspiracy was too strong, Xishan also felt that this arrangement was strange.
The student he cared about the most in this class was of course Xi Siling. This was not only because of the boy's special abilities and intelligence, but also because of the requirements from above.
Many people are eyeing this young man who possesses the powerful ability to 'resurrect the dead'. While the secret text is still there, Xishan also hopes to find more 'backers' for Xi Siling so that he won't be bullied after graduation.
"Oh, no, I have to talk to the Academic Affairs Office."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so Xishan was about to walk out of the office in a resolute manner.
"Teacher Xishan, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Xi Siling had guessed most of Xishan's psychology, so of course he felt warm inside.
But it was only warm for a moment.
"I mean to ask the Academic Affairs Office to change the second-year students' mission to killing the living dead."
Xi Siling admitted that he was anxious, and he really felt guilty for suddenly putting his classmates in dire straits!
"Teacher Xishan, this is not necessary!"
Xishan sneered, with a hint of gloating.
"The first graders can do it? You can't do it?"
Xi Siling:......
Private Marseille classmates, Vadasi did not mean it.
