Chapter 139
In this respect, his situation is quite similar to Zhou Renjie's. Both of them must be selected. After all, this selection is directly related to the subsequent plot, or even more times, so he cannot fail to be selected.
But unlike Zhou Renjie, Su Bei has absolute confidence that he can get a spot no matter who his opponent is. His current state is completely different from the first monthly exam of the previous semester.
At that time, he tried his best but was not sure that he could win every time. But now Su Bei knew that if he was not selected with his supernatural powers, it was either that the teachers in the school were blind, or that two dark horses who were comparable to the protagonists really appeared.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is beyond human power to resist. If these two situations really happen, he will not fight.
Hearing his answer, Li Shu's expression froze, but he really couldn't say anything to refute it. It was because Su Bei was indeed strong enough.
His mental strength, physical skills, and even his supernatural powers were impeccable. From an objective point of view, Li Shu thought that Su Bei's only shortcoming was his weak defense. But every time he encountered danger, he was the first to run away, and he directly used his supernatural powers to avoid his only shortcoming.
In fact, he didn't have any obsession with being selected. Bringing glory to the school was not what Li Shu pursued, and he didn't have a family to force him to make progress. As long as he was strong enough, that was enough.
But if they had someone from outside the class enter the race, it would mean that one person from Class S would be kicked out. Although Li Shu had several suitable candidates in mind, he couldn't guarantee that he would be the one kicked out, so he could only try his best to be selected.
On the day of the monthly exam.
The exam officially started at 8:00 in the morning. By 7:30, everyone was already waiting in the classroom. The head teacher had to give a final lecture and announce the content of the special department exam.
Meng Huai had nothing to say about the former. He had already given the necessary warnings before, and I believe these students knew what was going on.
Therefore, he mainly talked about the second thing: "The content of the special department exam has been released. You need to use your supernatural powers to make several people in the classroom leave as quickly as possible. The speed at which people leave and the number of people who leave are both the judging criteria."
The examination requirements were indeed nonsensical. Su Bei looked calm and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind.
Not only him, Feng Lan and Li Shu also looked calm, or relaxed. They were not worried about the exam, which made everyone jealous.
"Also, let me remind you one last time. This is a monthly exam. Although it is a selection test for the three-school competition, your total scores will also be recorded. Don't neglect your studies just because you don't plan to participate in the competition!" Meng Huai gave Feng Lan and Zhao Xiaoyu a warning look. He knew very well that these two people would not join the team.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned bitter. She had really wanted to just muddle through, but who knew that this exam would actually be recorded. Although with her current abilities, she would definitely not have to worry about not having a job even if her grades were very poor, the basic quality of Chinese people is that even if they are reborn, they must go to school and study hard to get into a good university. As an ordinary person born and raised here, Zhao Xiaoyu naturally has this obsession.
Seeing that they had taken his warning to heart, Meng Huai waved and let them go: "Okay, go to your respective locations to take the exam. I hope I can get good news from everyone."
Because we were on the same track, Su Bei, Li Shu, and Feng Lan walked together. I looked left and right. Neither of the two people around me was very curious, but he was still very curious, so I asked, "Have you all thought of a solution?"
He himself had no intention of trying it, after all, his method could not be learned by others: "I plan to use illusion to trick the people in the classroom out directly."
"Me too." Su Bei replied, and before the other party could question him, he continued, "Use your supernatural powers to get them out."
Li Shu: “…”
Feng Lan nodded in approval: "Me too."
Li Shu: “…”
Now he was completely silent. No matter what he asked, he would know the answer when the time came. If he asked, he would just be answered perfunctorily by these two people.
When we got to the classroom, there were already a few people standing inside. There were no chairs in the room, so we had to stand.
There are quite a lot of people signing up for their special department. After all, many of them have some opportunistic ideas. Attack, defense, control and the like are places where big guys gather. It is safer to be in the support and special departments.
Seeing the three people coming in, everyone's eyes turned to them. As members of Class S, which only has 15 students in the first grade, their faces are all remembered by their classmates.
Not only did he remember it by heart, Su Bei also knew that they seemed to have some strange fan club or something like that. However, he never paid attention to it, and only heard someone mention it when he passed by the corridor by chance.
To be honest, he felt like the sky was falling. Damn it, isn't this a superpower manga? Why is there a fan club like in girls' comics? He started to dig his toes into the ground. What should he do? Is this the feature of "Endless Superpower Academy"?
On the other hand, most people could recognize their faces because of the attention of their classmates. As soon as they walked in, everyone's eyes were immediately on their faces, and then they began to whisper.
"Oh my God, how could there be three of them?"
"Then why did he come to our special department? I am really upset!"
"That's good. We don't have to argue anymore. It looks like the final candidate has been chosen."
“…”
The teacher at the front of the podium also recognized the three of them. He was the teacher who taught Class A before, so he was familiar with Li Shu. He waved to the three of them and said, "Come and register."
"Long time no see, teacher." Li Shu responded softly and went over to sign the registration.
After everyone finished registering, they stood in a corner against the wall waiting for the exam to begin. A classmate from Class A came over and said, "Hey Li Shu, how was your summer vacation?"
Unlike other people, Li Shu always maintains a gentle image outside, so people who don't know him often easily think that they are friends after getting to know him.
Li Shu frowned slightly, dodged the other party's clapping hand without leaving a trace, and replied lightly: "It's okay, it's quite exciting."
Hearing this, Su Bei and Feng Lan looked at each other and kept silent. Isn't it exciting? It's a high-level journey to another dimension, and it's about the Feng family's family changes. I'm afraid everyone in their class would give the same answer to this question.
The boy who came over exchanged a few simple pleasantries and then began to speak his mind: "Have you thought of a way to pass this test? The time given by the teacher is too short. I just told the content of the test and I have no idea how to get people out of the classroom. I even need to use superpowers. If I had the ability to beat people out of the classroom, would I still come to this track?"
As the saying goes, Li Shu just came to inquire about Su Bei's examination method, and now someone else comes to inquire about his.
Li Shu also learned Su Bei's words with a fake smile: "I plan to use my supernatural power to pass the test."
The boy was choked by his answer, and immediately recalled Li Shu's ability, and stopped talking. He found that what Li Shu said was true, his ability [illusion] was naturally suitable for this kind of situation. During the time they were together last semester, he was able to make his classmates fall into illusions, and now after a semester of training, he didn't know how much he had grown.
Soon, students arrived one after another. Su Bei was bored and counted them. He found that there were more than 50 students in total. There were more than 200 students in their grade and five race tracks. So there were quite a lot of people in their race track.
At 8:25, the invigilator looked at the list and confirmed that all the candidates had arrived. He stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay, let's talk about the exam rules. I will randomly select five students to stay in the classroom. After I announce the start of the exam, the examinees can use any method to get these five students to leave the classroom. The longest time is ten minutes. But don't forget the exam requirements and evaluation standards your teacher has mentioned. Those who do not meet the requirements will be deducted a large number of points, or even fail directly. The five selected candidates can make passive defenses, but they must not actively attack, otherwise they will fail this exam directly."
After saying that, he glanced at the list and quickly made a decision: "Then let's start with the candidates from Class S. Although it would be a little unfair to take the exam first, as you are from Class S, you should be able to overcome this difficulty."
Taking the test first will give you less time to think, and you won't have the experience of others to draw lessons from, which is not really fair. But as the teacher said, Class S has the best resources in the whole grade, so it is reasonable that the test is a bit more difficult.
"Su Bei." The first person to be called was Su Bei, who had the worst luck among the three.
He was not vague and walked straight forward.
The teacher used the app on the big screen to randomly select five people to stay, and asked the others to stand outside the window to watch. He also reminded everyone: "I remind you that if you are successfully sent away by him, you will be deducted points. Think about your monthly exam results and don't be soft-hearted."
When they heard that they would lose points, the few people who had originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the members of Class S suddenly lost the idea of giving points. They were all ordinary students and still cared a lot about their monthly exam results.
Especially when the teacher has clearly stated that the first monthly exam is one of the three most important exams of this semester and accounts for a large proportion of the total score.
One of the girls smiled apologetically from Su Bei: "Sorry, but I will not leave the classroom anyway."
Su Bei did not reply, but turned to look at the teacher and asked: "When does it start?"
Seeing his confident look, the teacher also became interested. He had been curious about Su Bei for a long time, and wanted to take this exam to see what the other party had. After adjusting the ten-minute countdown on the big screen, he walked out of the classroom, tapped the "start" button on his phone, and announced loudly: "The exam begins."
Almost in the next second, the five people ran to the corner of the classroom, each using their special powers to arm themselves as fully as possible, as if they were afraid that Su Bei would use force to drive them out of the classroom.
After all, they also know that powerful psychics usually have extremely high combat power.
In fact, they were right to think so. Although Su Bei did not intend to drive people out by force, if he really wanted to, these five students who were not even in Class A could still be easily driven out.
However, Lei Zeen had already reminded them that for this special department exam, although the scoring criteria were said to be the number of people chased away and the speed of chasing away, what was actually tested was the ability to surprise the opponent.
Fighting is nothing. The unexpected attack and control types can do it. Even if he can get a high score in the exam, he may not be able to join the team, so Su Bei plans to use other methods.
No one noticed that at the same time when the five people ran to the corner, Su Bei's face suddenly turned pale.
The next second, the blond boy's face changed, his expression suddenly twisted, he bent over and covered his stomach, his stomach made a series of "gurgling" sounds: "Damn it! Is this also your trick? I can't take it anymore, you can deduct points, I need to go to the toilet!"
After saying this, he ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and rushed out like the wind, pushing the door open.
At the same time, the girl's phone rang suddenly. Since it was not a cultural exam, there were no restrictions on the use of mobile phones. The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to check the caller ID.
After she found out it was her parents calling, she answered the phone immediately because she had already told them that she had a monthly exam today. Logically, they would not call her if it was nothing serious.
It was indeed a big deal. As soon as the girl heard the first sentence, her face changed drastically: "My mother was in a car accident. I have to go to the hospital first!"
As she was talking, she ran out, but suddenly stopped when she walked out the door, then turned around a little embarrassedly, and said with a wry smile: "Um... can I come back now?"
"Of course not. You've already left the house, so you're eliminated. But aren't you going to the hospital to see your mother?" The teacher first rejected her, then asked curiously.
The girl looked helpless: "My mom was riding a shared bike to the hospital for a physical examination and accidentally bumped into someone, causing the person to have a skin scrape. My dad thought I must not have started yet based on his experience with the first monthly exam last semester, so he called me and told me to go to the hospital to get the test results after the exam..."
This is such a coincidence, it's just her bad luck.
After asking the question, the teacher looked at the other blue-haired boy who had just run out and asked: "Why are you leaving again?"
"Cockroaches... There are cockroaches in the teacher's classroom!" The boy huddled outside and shivered. He was completely terrified when he saw the cockroaches just now. However, he instinctively suppressed his scream and ran out immediately.
"What! Cockroaches!" Just as he finished speaking, another girl ran out screaming. She was also afraid of cockroaches. It was okay that she didn't know about them just now, but now she felt creepy all over when she heard about them, and she didn't care about that anymore.
Seeing that there was only one student left in the classroom, the teacher was about to say something when he suddenly screamed and jumped out of the window, leaving the classroom at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, shouting as he ran: "Teacher, my phone fell down!!"
Everyone: “…”
In the silence, Su Bei shrugged: "Teacher, I have calculated this."
After hearing what he said, the teacher outside the classroom finally reacted and quickly pressed the "pause" button on his phone: "Okay, it will take a total of... ten seconds."
Five people were eliminated in ten seconds, an average of one every two seconds. This performance immediately caused silence in the classroom and everyone was shocked. They knew that those seemingly coincidental coincidences could not be coincidences, and it must be the power of Su Bei's supernatural power.
But this method was too unbelievable. In just ten seconds, everyone left the classroom for various reasons.
After a long while, someone finally spoke: "As expected of Su Bei."
This person was a student in Class F. He had been in the same class with Su Bei. He had witnessed how Su Bei ranked among the top students in the monthly exam from Class F, and then moved to Class S, where he performed very well in the final exam. He was not surprised that he had done such a thing.
His words broke the silence. At this time, Su Bei had already walked out of the classroom and stood at the door and asked the teacher: "Can we leave after the exam?"
"You have to wait until at least five rounds are finished before you can leave." The teacher replied, so as to ensure that the person taking the final test will have five collaborators to help him complete the test.
Su Bei nodded to show that he understood, and then walked towards where Feng Lan and Li Shu were, and unexpectedly found that there were quite a few S class members standing there. To be precise, all the S class members were there.
He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Aren't you going to take the exam?"
Qi Huang shrugged as he had just done: "In the exams for other tracks, Class S always takes the exam last."
This is normal. The tracks for other students are different from those for special classes. They already know the content of the test, so there is no such thing as the earlier you take the test, the harder it is. It is also traditional to put the strongest students last, so it is reasonable to put them last.
"You are definitely sure this time." Zhou Renjie said sourly from the side. Driving away five people in ten seconds is definitely the best result.
"Amazing! They all left on their own initiative right away!" Mo Xiaotian jumped up three feet high, gesticulating with his hands and feet. "If it were me, I would probably try to make the classroom lose air, but it would take a while."
After the conversation started, everyone began to think about how they would get these five people out of the classroom if they were on this track.
They didn't have much time to discuss before the next person started. This time it was Li Shu.
Five people were randomly selected as well. Li Shu clapped his hands with a smile. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a girl quickly cover her ears and shut her mouth. At the same time, she reminded the others very kindly: "Li Shu's ability is [Illusion]. Everyone, be careful and don't let him lead you into an illusion."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others who still knew little about Li Shu also understood immediately and followed her example by covering their ears and closing their eyes, thinking that this would be able to resist the opponent's superpowers.
Seeing them like this, Li Shu was not angry. He just laughed and shook his head: "Who said that illusions can only be performed through vision and hearing?"
He didn't seem to make any movement, mainly the people outside the classroom, but they could see that other people in the classroom started to take action at the same time.
They first frowned, closed their eyes and tried to dodge, then grabbed something in the air, but quickly let go, their expressions becoming panicked.
Then the first person opened his eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he showed a look of fear: "Is this brought by the [illusion]? I'm not afraid! Don't try to trick me into leaving the room!"
Even though he said this, he still dodged around and unknowingly came to the door. But she didn't seem to realize that this was the door, so she didn't have any vigilance and was easily fooled out.
After he got out, the illusion in front of the boy finally disappeared. He was stunned at first, looking around, and then finally realized that he had left the classroom. He found a place to sit down and relieved his emotions.
A classmate next to me asked curiously: "What happened just now? Why did you suddenly open your eyes and come out of the classroom? Didn't you know that it was all an illusion?"
"It's too real." The boy shook his head helplessly. "I closed my eyes and blocked my ears at first, and suddenly I felt something touching me. It was disgusting. I grabbed the thing and found it was a sticky tentacle. It crawled up my body and gradually bound my body and my entire face. I felt like I couldn't breathe, so I dodged everywhere and was forced to close my eyes. At that time, I saw that the door was on the other side, so I leaned against the wall without worry, but I didn't expect..."
After listening to his description, everyone understood immediately. They didn't expect that Li Shu's ability could not only cause visual and auditory dislocation, but also change the sense of touch.
Undoubtedly, after various trainings last semester, Li Shu's strength has also made great progress. Not only can he change his sense of touch, but he can also build five real illusions for five people at the same time. Although some of them are connected, the five people are definitely faced with different details.
Soon several other people were also driven out one after another. There was nothing they could do. Even though they knew it was an illusion, the ability to change their sense of touch was still too strong. They had to hide out of instinct. Once they hid, they would lose their sense of direction and would not remember where the original door was. Naturally, they would fall into Li Shu's trap.
"You passed the test. It took a total of 2 minutes and 12 seconds." After someone came out, the teacher announced the result.
The girl at the beginning was so surprised that her eyes widened: "How could it be? I looked at the time. I couldn't hold on any longer for 6 minutes, so I came out."
The pink-haired boy looked as gentle as ever, and answered the other party's question in a gentle manner: "Then why don't you take another look at the time now?"
Hearing this, the girl suddenly looked up at the clock on the wall and found that only two minutes had passed. She suddenly realized: "You actually used [illusion] to change the time just now."
Without answering her, Li Shu had already walked out of the classroom.
Mo Xiaotian praised them all excitedly: "Wow! Li Shu, you are amazing! It's amazing that you can make five people fall into illusion at the same time, and they see different contents!"
I was really happy to get a good score of two minutes, and I answered in a good mood: "I have now entered the second stage that the teacher talked about."
The "teacher" he was talking about was not Meng Huai, but the illusion master who constructed the "battle replica" during the final exam last semester.
"The second stage, what are the other stages?" Mo Xiaotian asked curiously.
Li Shu recalled what the teacher said and told everyone exactly as it was said: "The first stage of illusion is to make the enemy not know that it is an illusion. The second stage is to make the enemy not know how to get out even if they know it is an illusion. And the third stage is to make the enemy not want to break the illusion even if they have a way to do so."
