Chapter 164
The auxiliary department is indeed very different from the two departments that Su Bei had visited before. The first difference is that they are divided into two factions, the therapeutic faction and the enhancement faction.
These two abilities have completely different effects in combat, so even though they are both support abilities, the things they require to learn are very different.
In addition, because there were relatively few auxiliary psychics, the entire auxiliary department was divided into four classes: two treatment classes and two enhancement classes. Lan Subing was in the enhancement class.
The atmosphere in the class was quite harmonious, not as intense as the fighting style of the special and offensive departments. During the competition, they mainly taught pure fighting techniques, and the quality of fighting techniques was much better than that of the special department, and could even be compared to that of the offensive department.
The students in the auxiliary department are also very good at fighting skills. For example, the strongest one in their class is on par with Jiang Tianming in terms of fighting skills alone, and can beat the students in the special department.
The reason why they value fighting skills is also very clear. Without superpowers to protect themselves, they must work hard to learn fighting. This attack method that everyone can master is the only means of attack and defense for most of them, so of course they have to work hard to learn it. In this way, if they encounter danger, they can protect themselves for a while, and they don’t have to rely on their teammates.
In addition, the classes usually focus on general techniques of the gain school, such as the timing of using superpowers, how to maximize gains, and control methods.
Although they can't use a large part of Su Bei, they can also learn a small part. After all, Su Bei and Elvis can also exist as control systems.
"These contents are taught in more detail in the Control Department." Elvis, who had attended the class many times, whispered to Su Bei, "Only those who are determined to follow the field control training will be taught more detailed contents in the special training courses."
Hearing this, Su Bei nodded in understanding. No wonder Elvis didn't come to the Auxiliary Department often. Compared to studying in the Control Department, this place is indeed much more useless for psychics with other abilities.
But then again, the auxiliary enhancement class doesn't need to teach people with other types of superpowers, and Elvis is just picking on people with no talent.
"What are you thinking about?" Elvis asked warily, noticing that he was looking at him strangely.
Su Bei smiled harmlessly: "I was wondering when you will compete with Lan Subing."
Although he didn't believe his lies at all, Elvis was still distracted: "Let me take a closer look. She hasn't used her powers much."
The courses in the auxiliary department are relatively "peaceful" and generally do not involve any competitive fighting. This is one of the reasons why Lan Subing was able to keep her supernatural powers hidden.
Of course, another very important reason is that Lan Subing doesn't like to talk. Even when she wants to use her supernatural powers, she speaks in a low voice. If no one is close to her, no one can hear what she is saying, so naturally people will regard the [Word Spirit] she uses as an ordinary supernatural power.
The next two days were very peaceful, and nothing unexpected happened. Su Bei also enjoyed two days of slacking off in the auxiliary class. Except for the fighting class, which required him to be more serious and learn new things that he didn't have in his own college, he could slack off in the rest of the classes.
This is a good thing for Su Bei, but not so good for Elvis. If he really liked to slack off, he wouldn't have gone to the auxiliary college for so long.
If it weren't for Lan Subing, he would have run away long ago. But fortunately, such days will soon be over, because he has already decided when to challenge Lan Subing.
After school, Jiang Tianming and the others received good news, that is, Wu Mingbai's supernatural power was unsealed. Because his supernatural power itself was the [Earth Element], and what he fused was the refined supernatural power of the Earth Element, so he did not undergo a complete change like Zhao Xiaoyu.
His ability was still Earth Element, but it was completely different from before. Wu Mingzhi said that now he felt that dust was coming out of his breath, and he could faintly feel the dust in the air, the heartbeat of the earth, and even the call of the starry sky.
It can be said that quantitative change has achieved qualitative change.
However, I will have to wait until I go back to school and compete with him to determine the exact extent.
Happy times are always short-lived. As soon as Sunday afternoon came, Elvis challenged Lan Subing to a match. He also told Su Bei that after this challenge, they would switch to the control department.
There are still many things to learn in the control department, so I can't slack off. Su Bei sighed and waited obediently until school was over to watch the two of them compete.
As usual, the area around the ring was crowded with people. The two of them chose the same wooden stake map. It would be fine if they could use the terrain, but since they couldn't, no terrain was the best terrain.
Unlike all other matches, these two did not have any testing at the beginning, because they both knew the characteristics of each other's abilities, so they raced against time to try to use their abilities.
Lan Subing said "Seal the power" directly, and Elvis also quickly tried to turn on the time travel. Although there was no obvious special effect when Elvis used his power, the action of making hand seals was still very obvious.
Seeing their actions, Su Bei suddenly realized something and then couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect this to be such a different match. It was really interesting.
There was nothing wrong with their strategy. Once Lan Subing's ability was activated first, Elvis, who had no ability, would definitely not be Lan Subing's opponent in terms of fighting skills. Lan Subing's fighting skills were ranked in the top six in Class S, so it was not difficult for him to quickly defeat Elvis.
They had also had a fight during the fighting class a few days ago, and Lan Subing won that time.
Once Elvis used his superpowers first, any [Word Spirit] that Lan Subing had cast on him would be ineffective, which was equivalent to the superpowers being ineffective. Lan Subing, who had no superpowers, faced Elvis, who had superpowers, and the outcome was undoubted.
So this isn't really a game of who fights better, it's a game of who's faster.
This style of play was not a trick they wanted to take, but a last resort. For Lan Subing, once Elvis used his supernatural power, it would be difficult for her to use it. So if she wanted to win, she could only use this method.
Elvis knew that Lan Subing would definitely use her power in this way, otherwise there was no chance of winning. So in order to avoid being sealed, he could only choose to use the same method and compete with her in speed.
Jiang Tianming, who understood the situation just like Su Bei, twitched his lips: "I was wondering why Ah Bing told me at noon that the outcome of their match would be decided soon..."
This style of play really only takes one move to decide the outcome. He just didn't expect this round to turn out like this. He had already prepared himself to enjoy a battle of superpowers.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, and it is indeed the only way.
"Who used the power first?" Ai Baozhu looked at the field anxiously. She only heard Lan Subing's voice just now, but she couldn't tell whether Elvis used the power. Therefore, she had no way to judge the result of the game.
Si Zhaohua comforted her: "Don't worry, with the way they play, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."
That's true. Losing a match is embarrassing only if one of the two people is really inferior to the other after a serious fight. But their competition is purely based on speed, or verbal speed, so who wins and who loses is not representative at all.
As they were talking, the game came to a conclusion. Lan Subing walked towards Elvis, opened her mouth, and after overcoming her social anxiety, she asked in all seriousness, "How about a draw?"
As soon as she said this, the four people who knew her knew that Lan Subing had won this round. If Lan Subing had not won, she would never have asked for a draw.
The reason why she was willing to have a draw even though she had clearly won was not because she didn't care about the reputation of the academy. It was because Lan Subing and Si Zhaohua had the same idea that their playing style directly led to the fact that the outcome of this game was no longer a reference. In this case, it would be better to take the initiative to have a draw.
Elvis knew this too, so he chose to refuse and took a step back: "No, you win this round."
Upon hearing this, the referee announced loudly: "Lan Subing wins!"
There was total silence in the audience. Except for the four students from Su Bei, none of them had expected that this highly anticipated game would end in such a dramatic way, and both of them had the same idea.
As for Elvis's defeat, just as he thought, it really didn't cause any waves. After all, this was not a serious competition at all, and the students of "Alpha High School" who have a strong martial spirit did not approve of it.
Of course, they would not deny Lan Subing's victory, but they would not admire her too much or think that Elvis did not deserve the reputation.
But Lan Subing didn't care about these, her mission was accomplished. The fight with Elvis was equivalent to no fight, that is to say, whether Jiang Tianming won, lost or tied, it would not affect anything.
Yes, she still cared about what Su Bei said at that time. If Jiang Tianming knew that Lan Subing thought this way, he would probably say "heinous crime" to Su Bei.
After Lan Subing left the stage, when the others gathered together and walked back, Si Zhaohua looked at Jiang Tianming and said, "Then there's only you left."
Su Bei was reminded by him and revealed a piece of news: "Next Monday, the two of us will be transferred to the first class of the Control Department."
"So fast!" Lan Subing was surprised and couldn't help but complain, "He ran away after the fight!"
Hearing this, Su Bei laughed and teased: "What else? After I go back, should I kneel down and kowtow to you and become your sworn brother, or should I lead the whole class of elementary school students to isolate and bully you? Then should I still stand in line? Then you decide, should I stand with you, or should I be the one who knows the current affairs and is a hero?"
Lan Subing: “…”
Lan Subing: "Shut up."
Everyone goes out to play together on Saturdays and Sundays. Unlike the "Endless Superpower Academy", the country of Mousse does not prevent ordinary people from understanding superpowers, so the superpower school does not need to be built in the suburbs on the top of the mountain, but can be built in the city.
As a very famous international school, "Alpha Supernatural High School" is located in the city center of the capital of Mousse. It has a very prosperous geographical location and naturally there are many commercial streets around it.
Su Bei had no interest in shopping. After walking into a shopping mall with a group of people and visiting a clothing store, he decided to stay at a nearby fast food restaurant and refused to leave: "You guys continue shopping. I'll wait for you here."
Seeing this, Jiang Tianming decisively stood on the side with Su Bei and said, "I'm a little hungry too. You guys go ahead. I'll come find you after I finish eating."
It sounds good, but it’s hard to say whether they will go to find Ai Baozhu and the others in the future.
However, the two of them didn't want to go shopping, and the other three had no choice. So in the end, Su Bei and Jiang Tianming stayed in the fast food restaurant, while Ai Baozhu and the other two went shopping.
After they left, Jiang Tianming, who had said he wanted to order something to eat, showed no intention of ordering anything. The two of them looked at the menu and sighed at the same time.
Although they have only been in the country of Mus for two weeks, they have already started to miss the food of their home country. This is not to say that the food here is not delicious, but it really feels greasy after eating too much.
The same beast meat can be cooked in various ways in China, but in foreign countries, the only way to eat it is roasted. Su Bei really wants to ask if there are no stir-fried dishes in foreign countries.
"By the way, be careful when you come to the Control Academy." Bored, Jiang Tianming told Su Bei the inside story he had learned about the Control Academy during this period, "They really like pranks."
This point is quite subversive to Su Bei's cognition. In the comics he had read before, those who like to play pranks should be from the special academy, and those from the control academy should all be very calm people like Jiang Tianming.
"What kind of prank?" Su Bei asked with interest. Speaking of pranks, his special ability would be really convenient.
Jiang Tianming recalled what happened to him in the first few days after he arrived: "It was a series of pranks that were hard to prevent, such as chairs being pulled away, notes being stuck on the back, teeth suddenly turning red, and movements becoming uncontrollable. They were not fatal, but they were embarrassing."
That is a bit troublesome, because if someone else's prank is embarrassing and it is drawn in the comics, his character will be slightly ruined. Su Bei is not afraid of the real fatal prank, he can check his fate compass at any time, and if there is a problem with the big pointer, he can just turn it back.
But as Jiang Tianming said, these pranks are hard to guard against. Either he has to think of a way to prevent pranks once and for all, or he has to be prepared to create a rhythm of "the old thief deliberately destroying Su Bei's personality" in the forum when the time comes.
It's not too early to prepare for a rainy day. Now you should think about how to deal with other people's pranks tomorrow. Su Bei looked at Jiang Tianming: "Why don't they play pranks on you now? Is it because you beat Kaila?"
If he can't successfully avoid every prank, then he can find a way to make everyone stop playing pranks on him, so that he can solve the problem once and for all.
"Yes and no." Jiang Tianming pondered for a moment and gave a half-answer, "It's mainly because I made them feel that I'm not only strong in my own strength, but also strong in pranks."
In terms of strength, it was what Su Bei said about the fight with Kaila. And the ability to play pranks was shown when Jiang Tianming played pranks back on everyone who played pranks on him.
His apparent ability, [Object Control], is an ability that is very easy to use for pranks. In fact, most control-related abilities are quite suitable for pranks, which is why pranks are so prevalent in this academy.
Jiang Tianming's words did give Su Bei some inspiration. He prevented those students from playing pranks on him by relying on strength and fighting against pranks.
In terms of strength, Su Bei has already demonstrated it to the fullest in the battle with Elvis, and no one would deny it. So what he needs to do is the latter, to give everyone a prank to show their power, and perhaps he can suppress their thoughts of playing a prank on him.
But how can I make everyone in the class fall for his prank? I can't just change everyone's pointer. Even if it's just changing the little pointer, it would consume a lot of mental energy to change more than 20 people. Besides, the timeliness of the little pointer is not high, and unfortunately, this kind of thing varies from person to person.
The fate of many people has changed, and the big index has been adjusted, and both point to one direction.
Su Bei curled his lips slightly: "When will they start playing pranks on me? Will they start as soon as I enter the School of Control?"
"That won't happen." Jiang Tianming shook his head, "It should start from the moment you enter the class, otherwise the head teacher will be angry."
Their head teacher did not stop the trend of pranks in the class. After all, it was a characteristic of the entire college and he did not want to change it and was powerless to do so. However, the head teacher had a rule that pranks could only be played on students in his class, so as to prevent them from going too far and then having to negotiate with the head teachers of other classes.
Therefore, before he entered the class in Su Bei and was introduced by the teacher, his classmates probably would not do anything to him.
Su Bei believed in Jiang Tianming's judgment. Since he said so, it was most likely true. He would only play a prank after he entered the class, which made it easier for him to act.
Seeing his brows relax, Jiang Tianming showed a suspicious expression: "I always feel that you are thinking about something bad."
Su Bei said this was a pure false accusation.
By the time Ai Baozhu and the others came back, it was already 7pm, so they had to have dinner in the mall. Fortunately, they came prepared and found a restaurant owned by a Chinese with good reviews.
If it has a good reputation among international students, it must taste good. A meal of authentic pickled fish successfully soothed the stomach and mouth that were damaged by foreign food during this period. The fish meat is tender and boneless, fresh, spicy and salty, and the pickled cabbage is sour, crispy and refreshing. The sour soup alone can be paired with two bowls of white rice.
The five of them were very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, they left the store and went back to school.
The weekend ended, and Su Bei and Jiang Tianming went to the special school together on Monday. The school was located behind the school, so Su Bei had not been there many times.
On the surface, this place is ordinary, unlike other colleges that place many decorations in the corridor. But there is no doubt that this is a very unique college, after all, other colleges do not have the habit of playing pranks.
Arriving at the new class, Su Bei first glanced at the seats at the back of the class. Elvis hadn't arrived yet, but except for those two seats, all other seats were already occupied by students. It was obvious that they came for Su Bei.
It's good to have everyone together. It's easier to operate when everyone is together. Su Bei activated his supernatural power and looked at the destiny compass above their heads. As he expected, because these people were in the same class and had just arrived at the class, the positions of the big pointers were similar, which made it easier for him to do things.
It is most convenient to turn it into a circle when there are many people, but turning it into a straight line can also affect the fate of everyone together.
The big pointer above all of their heads is at "Learning", which is not an exact point, but a point that Su Bei had tested time and again using the "Dream Bubble" before.
Nearby "study" are "go out", "get sick", and "eat". "Eat" is a reward for them, so it is definitely not an option. "Go out" feels like it is not a prank on the students, but on the teachers, which is also not advisable.
Then just be "sick".
Su Bei adjusted the two large pointers that were farther away so that everyone was pointing to the same position, forming a straight line. The preparations were complete, and everything was ready. He walked to the last row of the classroom and sat in his seat under the gazes of everyone.
At this time, the head teacher and Elvis walked in together. Elvis walked to the back of the class and sat next to Su Bei. Before he could say anything, the head teacher called Su Bei's name: "Su Bei, today is your first day in our special class. Come up and introduce yourself."
Hearing this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and walked calmly to the podium: "I am Su Bei, and my supernatural power is [Gear of Destiny]. I heard that the Special Department College likes pranks, so I prepared a meeting for everyone."
After saying that, he snapped his fingers.
He adjusted the pointer of squad leader Kayla to the "sick" position, and then the pointers of others automatically turned to "sick" as well.
Fate struck. The next second, Kaila suddenly covered her stomach and cried out in pain: "Ah! My stomach hurts so much!"
Her voice seemed to turn on a switch, and the others also started crying out in pain, holding their stomachs.
Seeing them like this, the teacher frowned and immediately looked at the instigator: "Su Bei, what did you do?"
"I think you should see a doctor first, teacher," Su Bei suggested innocently.
He was not worried about anything happening to Kaila and the others. Their little fingers were in a safe position, so even if they got sick, it would not be a serious illness. Besides, there were only a few possibilities that could make the whole class sick at once, and because it was not a serious illness, there were even fewer options. Mass diarrhea, influenza...these were the only possibilities.
This did remind the teacher, and the other party did not care about questioning Su Bei anymore, and quickly called the school doctor. Soon three school doctors came over, one of them asked the class teacher about the specific situation, and the other two teachers quickly checked the students' conditions.
To be the school doctor of "Alpha Superpower High School", even if they don't have superpowers, their medical skills are very strong, and they have all passed the medical qualification exam. Soon the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the woman in the lead said, "It's okay, they just had an upset stomach, and going to the toilet will solve the problem."
Hearing this, the teacher and the school doctor who were talking to each other breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that this was actually Su Bei's prank, they suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Although he made the whole class have diarrhea, it was still within the scope of a prank. The class also often played the prank of feeding their classmates croton seeds, so they could not punish Su Bei.
The teacher looked at the well-behaved blond boy in front of him, and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Next time if there is a prank of this level, please report it to me in advance."
