Chapter 137
During the afternoon class, Zhou Renjie came to apologize to Su Bei. After a midday break, he regained his sanity and naturally realized how stupid what he had done before was.
Su Bei accepted his apology. This little thing was not enough to really make him angry. Just wait and see. With Zhou Renjie's temper, he would make a big trouble sooner or later.
Su Bei still hasn't forgotten the foreshadowing the author had planted on him before. To be honest, the earlier a foreshadowing is used, the less effective it will be. If Zhou Renjie had revealed his true colors soon after being locked up in the dream world, then perhaps the final apology would have solved the matter. But it has been so long since it was used, and Su Bei feels that the author is going to make a big move.
The next day, Meng Huai talked about what happened yesterday in class: "Mu Tie Ren, as the class monitor, please tell us about your mistakes yesterday."
The honest man, Mu Tie Ren, naturally began to honestly talk about what they did wrong yesterday: "Although we were in school, we should not have let our guard down and come into contact with the high-level Nightmare Beast without any precautions. After the Nightmare Beast was displayed, we did not immediately ask the teacher what its abilities were. If we had asked before the end of the first class, the subsequent problems could have been avoided. In addition, the teacher had given us several reminders before, but we did not pay attention, which also showed a lack of sensitivity."
He was indeed a very standard good student. His answers were very logical and he perfectly pointed out the mistakes that the teacher had in mind. This was also the reason why Meng Huai called on him to answer the question. If he had called on someone else, there was no telling what he would have answered.
Meng Huai nodded with satisfaction: "Well said, sit down."
Then he pointed at Su Bei: "Su Bei, do you think you did anything wrong yesterday?"
There was no other way. Although he knew that Su Bei was a troublemaker, there were only two people, Su Bei and Wu Jin, who were facing Mu Tieren and the others. Wu Jin could not be chosen, as he was completely forced by himself to stand aside and watch. So he could only choose Su Bei.
Surprisingly, Su Bei actually admitted: "I was wrong."
Everyone looked at Su Bei in surprise. Meng Huai had a bad feeling in his heart and didn't want to ask any more questions. But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. He could only bite the bullet and ask: "What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have failed to remind everyone because I was afraid of the teacher's power." Su Bei answered truthfully.
Hearing this answer, Meng Huai's eyes went dark. He laughed angrily and pointed at Su Bei twice with his fingers in the air: "Okay, well said. I hope you can do as well as me in the physical training class this afternoon."
Su Bei shrugged his shoulders and sat down in the admiring eyes of everyone. It's not that he didn't know that there was a physical training class in the afternoon, but Su Bei really wanted to increase the intensity to see how far he had come.
Because it was already the second semester, there was no plot this time, and the week passed by normally. During this period, I didn't go to any special space, the "Black Flash" organization didn't come to the school to cause trouble, there were no brainless villains to provoke, the comics were not updated, and "comic consciousness" didn't come out to show its presence.
Everything is so peaceful and quiet that it makes people feel dazed, as if comics and other things are just a dream and this is really just an ordinary world.
But every time Su Bei returned to the dormitory and saw the notes about meteorites in his notebook, he would be brought back to reality.
He had to find a way to hand these contents to Jiang Tianming at a certain point in the plot, so that they and the readers behind them could see them and start discussing them.
As long as the readers start discussing, he can use the title of "prophet" to make the plot go according to his wishes, thereby finding a reason to resolve the meteorite and giving the Nightmare a chance to disappear completely.
But Su Bei must show the content he wants to publish at the right point in the plot, otherwise he cannot be sure whether the author will draw this plot. Once he does not draw it, then this move will be a waste.
However, he didn't need to wait too long. He preliminarily estimated that the comics would be updated during the first monthly exam. Then he would think about it and see if he could find an opportunity to complete his goal.
During this time, Su Bei also officially began training to refine his mental power. Before the training began, Meng Huai told him the process. Normally, this kind of training would simply focus on mental power control at first, and then combine it with supernatural powers.
The creation of this kind of training program that combines superpowers, of course, requires teachers to have a very good understanding of students' superpowers in order to come up with a specialized program.
But because a large part of Su Bei's supernatural abilities are still a secret, Meng Huai waved his hand directly and announced that he can decide how to train in the second half.
Should I follow the teacher's instructions and do specialized training like everyone else? Or should I just listen to one method and then train privately?
Su Bei naturally chose the latter. Just like Meng Huai, he did have many secrets that could not be exposed. He had studied the specific combination of mental power and supernatural powers in the "Dream Bubble" and knew how to practice.
"Su Bei, how have you been training these days?" Zhao Xiaoyu asked curiously after another training session. Of course, she was not curious about Su Bei's training progress, but was just curious about what a special mental training class was like.
Su Bei also knew what she was asking, but he just didn't answer: "It's okay, although it's a bit boring, but not tiring..."
Hearing his perfunctory answer that was totally out of her expectation, Zhao Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Su Bei suspiciously. She didn't believe that Su Bei didn't understand what she was asking, so this answer was very meaningful.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xiaoyu asked directly again: "How do you train your mental strength? Is there any specific method?"
Of course, she asked so directly because she knew Su Bei's character and knew that he would not hide such things. If she was facing someone else and saw that the other person was hiding something, Zhao Xiaoyu would know not to ask.
This time, Su Bei was silent for a moment, and finally answered helplessly: "Use mental power to weave the scarf."
First of all, I have to admit that this training really helps him control his mental power. From the beginning, it was difficult to use mental power to control two needles to tie a knot at the same time, to now the scarf is beginning to take shape. In just over a week, Su Bei feels that he has made considerable progress.
But at the same time, he had to admit that this training method was easy to be laughed at! There was nothing wrong with knitting a sweater, but at their age, both men and women felt an inexplicable sense of shame when knitting a scarf, and even Su Bei was no exception.
But he knew very well that he could have glossed over the previous question, but if he glossed over this one as well, it would be even more embarrassing when the matter was exposed, so it would be better to announce it directly.
Sure enough, when Zhao Xiaoyu heard him say that he was knitting a scarf, he was stunned again, and after a long while he uttered a syllable: "Ah"
Then she started laughing with great joy: "Hahahahahahaha, is this so creative? Su Bei, what are you going to do with the scarf you finally wove? Can you give me one? Hahahahahaha, I'll keep it for myself."
Su Bei: "..."
Before he could reply, Mo Xiaotian came over and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Xiaoyu did not reply, but looked at Su Bei. This was not to isolate Mo Xiaotian, but mainly because it was obvious that Su Bei was not willing to talk about this matter, so she naturally would not take the initiative to announce it to the outside world.
However, Su Bei had no intention of continuing to hide the truth and answered directly: "The method of discussing the fine control of advanced mental power is to use mental power to weave a scarf."
"Weaving a scarf" Mo Xiaotian's eyes widened with surprise. However, the next sentence gave people an unexpected and reasonable feeling, "Wow! That's so interesting! I want to try it too!"
Even Su Bei had to admit that there was a reason why the little sun-like protagonists in the youth class were liked by everyone. Just look at Mo Xiaotian's appearance and you will know that they can maximize the emotional value of the people around them.
And Mo Xiaotian really wasn't just talking. The next day, he got a ball of wool and two knitting needles from somewhere. Su Bei came to school early in the morning and saw this scene. He asked him with a smile why he actually knitted a scarf.
Mo Xiaotian confidently said that he believed he would awaken advanced spiritual power sooner or later. In that case, practicing scarf weaving in advance could also help him accumulate experience for the time being.
His reason was already ridiculous enough, but then something even more ridiculous happened. On the third day, Zhao Xiaoyu also brought props for weaving a scarf, and when asked about it, her reason was exactly the same as Mo Xiaotian's.
By the fourth day, all the students in the class started knitting scarves in class, following Mo Xiaotian's example.
Su Bei was not a fool, and he quickly understood. If Mo Xiaotian knitted a scarf, it was definitely just because he was interested. Then Zhao Xiaoyu and others knitted scarves, probably to protect his self-esteem.
Maybe it was because of Zhao Xiaoyu's description that everyone felt that he was really resistant to knitting scarves, but the news had already been announced. That's why they chose to knit scarves with him, so that Su Bei would not be alone and naturally would not feel uncomfortable.
How should I put it? It's kind of funny, and also kind of... touching.
This is actually just a small matter. Su Bei just feels a little ashamed, but he doesn't mind using his mental power to weave scarves. It's all for the purpose of improving strength, and it's not some evil way. Why should he mind it?
But Zhao Xiaoyu and the others' consideration for his feelings and the act of knitting scarves together still touched him.
However, Su Bei didn't say anything, but started to train his mental strength during the break time in class.
So when the class was over, the teachers saw all the students in Class S taking out wool sweaters and knitting scarves from their desks: "..."
Is this some activity they don't know about?
Time passed quickly, and another week passed in the blink of an eye. This week's school was really a bit strange. Although Su Bei usually didn't like to inquire about school news, he was sensitive enough to notice the unrest among the seniors after just a few encounters.
The monthly exam is coming up soon. Is it because of the monthly exam?
Thinking of this, Su Bei took the time to ask Zhao Xiaoyu. It was perfect to ask her about intelligence matters like this. Zhao Xiaoyu was doing very well in the student union and could get a lot of information in advance.
As expected, upon hearing his question, Zhao Xiaoyu nodded in understanding: "It's about the monthly exam. I guess the teachers will tell you in a few days that the midterm exam this semester is a campus competition among the three schools, so this monthly exam is actually for selecting the school team.
The college competition, since this kind of plot is going to be carried out. Su Bei, who often reads boys' comics and novels, is very familiar with the college competition. This is a good opportunity to show personal highlights.
Because he asked this question in class, everyone else in the class heard it. People like Si Zhaohua who had already known the news through their family naturally had nothing to ask, but people who didn't know the news were indeed very curious.
Wu Mingbai immediately drew inferences: "So other grades also need to prepare for the school team again."
"That's right. The school team prepares for the monthly exams. The three major universities compete during the midterm exams. At the end of the semester, the best students in the second and third grades of the three schools will form a national youth team to represent the country." Zhao Xiaoyu obviously took the initiative to understand the process and explained it clearly.
After listening to her introduction, Su Bei asked thoughtfully: "So you also understand the process of this monthly exam, right?"
Zhao Xiaoyu nodded as a matter of course and said, "The monthly exam will be divided into different tracks for competition. One person from each of the offensive, control, auxiliary, defensive, and special departments will form a main team, and then a reserve team will be formed with the same configuration. A total of ten people will participate in the mid-term three-school competition."
There are five tracks, and Su Bei is confident that he can stand out in the special track. The people from Class S who compete with him in this track are Feng Lan, Zhao Xiaoyu, Jiang Tianming, Lan Subing, and Li Shu, and many of them can go to other tracks.
In fact, even if they all competed in the same race as him, Su Bei was not afraid. With his current strength, as long as he was not killed instantly, he would be able to fight.
Once he is given the opportunity to adjust the pointer, others will most likely be unable to resist the forced change of fate.
But then again, there are ten people, so even if all the candidates are from Class S, there will definitely be five people who can't go. Su Bei looked at the girl in front of him curiously: "Which track are you going to participate in?"
It stands to reason that Zhao Xiaoyu, who knows the process so well, should want to participate in the midterm competition. However, he thought about it carefully and found that unless the midterm test is about how to destroy nightmare beasts, Zhao Xiaoyu's ability will not give him an advantage in any competition.
But the problem is that from her performance, she doesn't seem to be worried about it.
Who knew Zhao Xiaoyu winked playfully: "Who said I want to participate?"
"Then you..." Su Bei was rarely surprised.
Zhao Xiaoyu didn't keep the secret and raised her voice a little, "During the midterm exam, I will participate in the three-school competition as a volunteer. You may see me as the host then!"
Normally, the host position is usually given to seniors in the third year of high school. Firstly, they are better than the younger students in terms of both experience and ability. Secondly, it is also to give them some experience for future employment. After all, being the host of such a competition is a very glorious job.
But Zhao Xiaoyu successfully secured this mission for herself. Her current superpower is [Happiness], which is more effective against nightmare beasts, but is also very effective for humans.
Such one-on-one or group-on-group competitions, mixed with the honors of the college and the expectations of others, are prone to anger. The participants are all the best in each college, and even freshmen should not be underestimated.
In addition, superpowers come in all shapes and sizes, so once they get really angry and start killing people, even the teachers may not be able to stop them in time.
But with Zhao Xiaoyu around, things were different. Her special ability could calm the anger on the field very well. After she stated her advantages and argued with reason for a while, the teachers finally agreed to let her help.
"You are too prepared for the worst," Ai Baozhu said in shock, "The monthly exam hasn't even started yet, and you've already decided on your schedule for the midterm exam."
Mo Xiaotian from the atmosphere group was also surprised and said, "Xiao Yu, you are so amazing! Host! Do you have to read out a cheering script like the host of a school sports meet?"
Zhao Xiaoyu had never thought about this question, and her face suddenly became solemn. Every time there was a campus sports meeting, she wanted to cover her ears when she heard the host give those awkward and numbing speeches on the podium. If she really had to say it in front of a lot of people, Zhao Xiaoyu said she was a little bit unable to accept it.
"...I'll go watch the recordings of previous years' games." After saying this, Zhao Xiaoyu left in a hurry.
But Su Bei's attention was not on her, but on Mo Xiaotian. He suddenly realized that there were quite a few people in their class who were good at attacking. Si Zhaohua, Qi Huang, Mo Xiaotian, Ling You, Mu Tieren. Among these people, Ling You didn't have to compete for this position, after all, she was not one to stand on this track alone.
But the remaining four, no matter who they are, have strong attack capabilities. The wooden iron man may be weaker than the other three, but the problem is that he obviously has plot points.
Su Bei could only be sure that among these four people, Si Zhaohua would definitely be selected, after all, his ultimate move was enough to eliminate his opponent. It would be really outrageous if he was not selected again.
But as for the other three people, Mu Tie Ren has plot points, Qi Huang's ability is a strong enough offensive system, and Mo Xiaotian is an undercover agent. No matter who it is, it is very likely that he will fight for the last position.
It can be seen that the strong attack track is indeed very crowded, and Su Bei is really curious about who will win in the end. Of course, his guess may not be correct. Qi Huang is undoubtedly a strong attack system, but Mu Tieren and Mo Xiaotian may sign up for other tracks.
The defense track should be participated by Ai Baozhu and Wu Mingbai. In fact, they can both go to other tracks, such as the auxiliary track, the offensive track, the special track... However, compared with other tracks, the competition in the defense track must be easier, so Su Bei temporarily guessed that it would be these two tracks.
What also interested him was Jiang Tianming's choice. Which track would he go to? In an individual battle like this, he would not be able to use props, so how would he display his newly acquired abilities? If he only used the [Object Control] ability, Su Bei felt that he might not be able to qualify.
Even if he succeeded in qualifying, it would be impossible for him to perform well in the midterm exam or the three-school competition with just the ability of "controlling objects". He had to find a way to use his other abilities properly.
But once he used other powers, he would have to come up with a reasonable explanation, and he must not let people associate it with the two wanted criminals who died. Now the two people who were most likely to let him report his identity were these two people. Although they were dead, the dead could also provide information.
As a member of Class S, Jiang Tianming's ability must be watched by many people, not only by the "Infinite Power Academy" itself, but also by the other two rival academies and the "Black Flash" organization.
The first three are fine, the academy can only find ways to break the students' abilities and train them, but the "Black Flash" organization is likely to explore the secrets.
Once Jiang Tianming's true ability [Death Summoning] is discovered, it will be a big deal. It is known that the lover of the boss of the "Black Flash" organization has died, and he may covet Jiang Tianming's ability, hoping to see his lover again.
In addition, superpowers themselves are not sinful, but people's eyes will bring all kinds of original sins to these superpowers. Even if Jiang Tianming has never done anything bad with his superpowers, some people will not believe that he can always avoid doing bad things.
Shaking his head, Su Bei continued to use his mental strength to knit sweaters. This was also his only way to improve now. Physical training had come to an end for the time being, and the CD of "Dream Bubble" had not yet ended.
It is not completely impossible to train supernatural powers in reality, but firstly it wastes mental energy, and secondly it is easy to expose the secret. It is safer to train in the dream created by the "Dream Bubble".
Soon, most of the freshmen knew the details of this monthly exam, and suddenly everyone became as agitated as the sophomores and juniors.
I knew this exam would be completely different from the last "battle replica". Although both are joint exams of three schools and rankings of three schools, compared to the former, the latter tests pure personal ability.
This made many students who did not grasp their identities, opportunities and plot lines in the "Battle Remake" feel that they are doing well again.
However, they also knew that if they wanted to compete with other schools, they had to beat their own school first. There were only ten spots in total, and choosing from 200 first-year students was not easy.
Although many people have already given up, just wanting to get good grades in the monthly exams and not expecting to participate in the three-school competition, there are also many people who are eager to try, hoping to defeat the students in Class S and successfully advance to Class S.
Some students think that they cannot compete with Class S in terms of attack, but they may be able to do so in other fields. You should know that there are almost no pure support-type students in Class S. Students with blood-adding and buff-type abilities are determined to get support positions.
You know, their school is the one that ranks the highest privately among the three schools. If they can represent the school in the three-school competition, they will be able to find various jobs in the superpower world or join any superpower team after graduation with this resume, which will be very helpful.
Under the eager anticipation of the crowd, Meng Huai finally announced the details of the monthly exam in class on Monday of the fourth week.
