Chapter 208
Just like the comics, there was nothing about Su Bei in the forum. Everyone was discussing that Ye Lin was an undercover agent, and some people were trying to use Ye Lin to infer the identity of another student undercover.
However, it had no effect. Ye Lin was gentle and equal to everyone, and there was nothing special about her. Even from Su Bei's perspective, who knew the identities of the two undercover agents, he could not see that Ye Lin had any preferential treatment for Mo Xiaotian.
However, after reading the updated comics in this chapter, Su Bei understood a little bit. Although Ye Lin was adopted by the organization since she was a child, she did not have much affection for the organization. The only person she cared about was her sister. Now there may be Meng Huai and Lei Ze'en, and maybe Jiang Tianming and other protagonists were added when Su Bei was unaware. But Ye Lin would definitely not look at Mo Xiaotian differently just because he is the son of the "Black Flash" organization.
After reading comics and forums, Su Bei began to study his new skills. The "hit gear" is different from other gears. It is silver in color and requires a certain amount of mental energy to make.
However, thanks to the post Su Bei made on the forum, the mental power consumed by the "Hit Gear" was not that great. Making a "Hit Gear" was equivalent to making ten ordinary gears, but whether it was one or ten ordinary gears, it was just a drop in the bucket for Su Bei's current mental power.
The only pity is that "Hit Gear" has a CD and can only be used once every ten minutes. If it can be used all the time, the attack power of this skill will be greatly increased.
It was a pity that "Dream Bubble" had just been used not long ago, and the next time it was used had not yet arrived. He could not use props to carefully study this skill, nor could he judge whether the weaknesses found by "Hit Gear" had any regularity or stability.
But there was no need to rush, as there was still plenty of time. He would have another chance to use the "Dream Bubble" before the three-school competition, so he could just study it later.
In the days after Ye Lin left, everyone could sense that the teachers were not in the right mood. It was mainly Meng Huai and Lei Zeen. Meng Huai was a guy with a sullen face. But Lei Zeen was a cheerful teacher, and his sullen face was very obvious.
However, this was nothing. They lost their companions, so it was normal for them to feel bad. Everyone could understand. What really made the S class incomprehensible was the attitude of others. They actually began to exclude Meng Huai and his group.
Well, it's understandable. They were classmates with Teacher Ye Lin and they had always had a good relationship. Now that Ye Lin had betrayed, those who had a good relationship with her would naturally be implicated.
But understanding is one thing, and wanting to accept is another. In the classroom, Qi Huang frowned and looked at his phone in dissatisfaction: "It's so annoying, everyone is asking me if I have any questions. If I really want to ask, I should just ask the teacher directly! Why are you beating around the bush here?"
She has a bad temper and blocks all those guys who obviously have bad intentions. It is a sign of her good self-cultivation that she doesn't curse back.
"Some of my relatives are also asking me if I want to transfer schools." Ai Baozhu's face was also full of annoyance. "Why don't they think about it? If there was a problem with Teacher Meng, we would have died countless times."
"They just hope that there is something wrong with Teacher Meng and Teacher Lei. As for the evidence, they don't care." Si Zhaohua said incisively.
You have to know that being a teacher at a supernatural academy is a lucrative job. Although there are no hard and fast rules, it is a stable job and generally you will not be fired. Although there are some risks, you may be attacked when you lead students on missions. But overall, it is actually a very safe career.
Moreover, the salary is high, people are respected, and the benefits are good. It can be said to be one of the best professions in the supernatural world. However, the threshold is too high, and only very outstanding supernatural people can get a job.
Meng Huai and Lei Ze'en took up two full seats, and one of them was the head teacher of Class S, so naturally they blocked the way for others.
"Someone on the college board of directors also suggested dismissing the two teachers," Wu Jin said in a low voice, worry hidden in his gray eyes, "My dad refused."
Although the principal has rejected the proposal of others to expel Meng Huai and Lei Ze'en, Wu Jin's tone shows that the situation is not optimistic. "Infinite Power Academy" is not a one-man show of Wu Di, there are also a few people who have more say.
He became the principal because he convinced others to do so. But now he couldn't just rely on fighting to convince others to trust Meng Huai and Lei Ze'en. If these people incited students to boycott the teacher, it would be a bad ending.
"What should I do?" Mo Xiaotian frowned, "I don't want to change my homeroom teacher."
Although he usually looks like a carefree optimist, Mo Xiaotian still knows who is good to him. Although Meng Huai is usually strict and lenient, he is always the first to arrive when something happens, and he can also urge him to make progress. Mo Xiaotian actually likes this teacher very much.
Not only Meng Huai, but also Lei Ze'en, who is also an optimist, is also liked by Mo Xiaotian, otherwise he would not be so worried about the two of them.
"It's actually very simple." Jiang Tianming was very calm at this time. He has always been a relatively rational person. He did not panic after hearing what Wu Jin and others said. "As long as we can get good grades in the three-school graduation, the teachers will be fine."
Zhao Xiaoyu immediately understood what he meant and nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are now equivalent to Teacher Meng's performance. As long as our performance is good, Teacher Meng will not be fired as the 'sales champion'."
"At least I have to be the first to avoid the teachers' gossips." Wu Mingbai showed a sunny smile.
Mo Xiaotian, who seemed to have the same personality as him, followed closely behind him and clenched his fists: "Then let's work hard together! We must win first place in the three-school competition!"
Most people clenched their fists together, full of confidence: "Come on!"
Su Bei, who was sitting in the last row of the classroom, looked at them and couldn't help but sigh: "This is truly a shonen manga..."
"What?" Feng Lan, who was standing next to him, didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.
Su Bei shook his head and looked at him jokingly: "I thought you would cheer them on."
Unlike him, Feng Lan, as an original character in the anime, naturally has a friendship line with the protagonists. In the previous activities, he has developed different bonds with his classmates. His attitude is no longer as cold as it was at the beginning, and he can even be called gentle towards his companions.
Hearing this, Feng Lan's expression was a little complicated, but she quickly calmed down and looked at her group of smirking companions, and said sincerely, "A little silly."
Su Bei nodded seriously and bumped fists with him: "Great minds think alike."
In the next few days, everyone trained very hard. There was less than a month left before the three-school midterm exam, so they had to show significant results. Even the teachers were amazed at their training status.
As soon as the time for using "Dream Bubble" came, Su Bei immediately began to research superpowers. "Hit Gear" was a relatively useful ability for him even now.
After creating several classmates according to his memory, Su Bei used the "Hit Gear" directly on them. First, it was "Jiang Tianming", who was directly hit by the gear, and the gear did not show any special features. Next was "Lan Subing", and she was also hit by the gear, and the same was true for "Wu Mingbai".
After trying it on three people in a row, the gears didn't show anything special. The only special thing was that even if he had his back to Jiang Tianming and they fired the gears randomly, the "hit gear" would hit the target as promised, and it indeed hit the target.
But the problem is the ability to find weaknesses. Su Bei even doubted whether his ability had lost its effect, or he had misjudged it before. The "hit gear" that the forum had conjured up for him did not have the ability to find weaknesses. It could only hit the target.
But Su Bei did not give up. After thinking for a while, he created another opponent. This time, he created "Ai Baozhu". She was a defense type. Once [Gorgeous Domain] was activated, even if the gear entered, it would be a disaster.
If the Hit Gear still hits the target by taking a detour as it did with the three men, it will definitely fail because the defense of the Abbot is 360 degrees without blind spots.
This time he finally tried out something new. When the "Hit Gear" reached the pink barrier of the [Gorgeous Realm], a familiar translucent cover suddenly appeared on its body, and then it directly and smoothly entered the barrier of the "Aibaozhu" in an attacking posture.
Although the gear was discovered by A Baozhu in advance because the translucent cover was too obvious, leaving only a slight scratch on her arm. But the mission of "hitting the gear" is just "hitting", it has completed the mission.
Su Bei finally remembered what the translucent cover was. It was the special effect that appeared when using the "Anti-Block Crystal Ball"! "Hit Gear" actually used an "Anti-Block Crystal Ball" on itself out of thin air. This was too outrageous.
Su Bei looked confused and repeated the experiment again. The result was the same as before. The "Hit Gear" was like a cheat, using the props on his body to break the defense of "Ai Baozhu" and inflict damage on her.
What if he doesn't have any useful items?
Su Bei suddenly became curious and created another person. The special ability he gave to this person was [Isolation], which isolated himself from the outside world. As long as the special ability was turned on, nothing could get close to him.
The first time he designed this ability, he had a CD. After using the "hit gear", the gear would disappear for a while. When the simulator's ability temporarily entered the cooldown period, it would fly out from some unknown corner and attack the simulator.
The second time Su Bei set up this ability, there was no CD. He really wanted to know how "Hit Gear" could launch an attack when he was absolutely unable to be approached.
The skill "Hit Gear" went straight to the eyes of the simulated person. Seeing this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows. You know, the simulated person he set up can block attacks from head to toe. If "Hit Gear" wanted to attack the eyes of the simulated person, it would be a wrong calculation.
Then, just as the gear came in front of the simulator and was about to touch the [Isolation] and be blocked, it suddenly exploded like a flash bomb.
The white light was incredibly bright. Even Su Bei, who was a bit far away, felt a flash of white in front of his eyes. It was so bright that it seemed like he was going to be blinded, not to mention the simulated person who was facing the white light directly.
He immediately screamed, covered his eyes and backed away.
After seeing this operation, people in northern Jiangsu were dumbfounded. They didn’t expect that this was possible.
But after a brief shock, Su Bei couldn't help but laugh. This was really great, the newly generated skill was not wrong, it could definitely hit the target, and it could help him find the enemy's weakness.
However, from what we can see so far, the damage is indeed very unstable. The damage to Jiang Tianming and the other two is determined by their timing of dodging. The damage to Ai Baozhu is almost zero, and the damage to the simulated person...
Su Bei briefly checked the condition of the simulated person. There was nothing wrong with his other parts, but his eyes were seriously injured. The flash just now had completely blinded him. He didn't know the long-term effects, but in the short term, unless there was a special psychic to treat him, he would definitely not be able to recover his sight.
After learning about the ability of "Hit Gear", Su Bei had a rough idea of how to use this ability in the ring. In a normal ring, "Hit Gear" usually only has one chance to be used. After all, the CD is a full ten minutes, and a normal game would probably have ended long ago.
For those psychics who have no means of defense and can only dodge the gears, this skill is just an ordinary gear, and the damage depends on the dodge situation.
But for those psychics who have defensive measures and are not easily attacked by the gears, "Hit the Gear" is no different from a time bomb with uncertain damage. Even Su Bei himself doesn't know how much damage this skill will cause.
But there is no doubt that this skill is to be used on people with defense. If you are lucky, you can directly cause a lot of damage to him and eliminate an opponent directly. If you are unlucky, it doesn't matter if you don't cause much damage, at least they can have an idea to break the opponent's defense.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before the three-school competition.
Although the three-school competition is held at the time of the midterm exam, it does not completely overlap. The midterm exam is held after the three-school competition is over. Therefore, many students who have connections and do not prepare to review can go directly to watch the competition on site.
Don’t worry if you need tutoring or can’t come to the event, the entire game will be broadcast live and you can watch the replay later.
It and the international competition at the end of the semester are both annual events in the supernatural world, but compared to the latter, the domestic competition is more interesting. After all, no matter who wins, it is a good show for ordinary supernaturals. But if it is an international competition, it involves the strength of the country and is much more serious.
The wooden iron man who could not participate in the competition has successfully obtained a ticket. He did not have any connections, but the "Endless Ability Academy" specially gave him a ticket to compensate him for the injuries he suffered before at "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd."
Ling You also had a ticket, which was also given by the academy. As the "Infinite Power Academy", she intended to use it as a trump card to protect the power users in the academy, so it goes without saying that they would provide benefits.
Feng Lan, the head of the Feng family, doesn't have to worry about not being able to go. He has a lot of tickets on hand, and he can give one ticket to each student in Class S. Si Zhaohua and Ai Baozhu can also do the same. After all, they are a big family, and it is easy for them to participate in this event.
In the end, Zhao Xiaoyu had to rely on himself. He directly obtained the host qualification, went to watch the game on site for free, and took on the commentary task part-time.
Speaking of her role as a host, Ai Baozhu asked curiously: "Xiaoyu, who is your partner? Is he handsome?"
The hosts are usually a man and a woman. Zhao Xiaoyu has gone out for rehearsal several times in the past few days and must have met his partner.
"It's Deng Chuan, a freshman at Houde Academy of Supernatural Powers. He's handsome, of course. When evaluating our hosts, besides eloquence, appearance is also a very important aspect." After answering Ai Baozhu's question, Zhao Xiaoyu did not forget to praise himself.
Everyone laughed.
Class started soon. This class was Lei Zeen's class. Because I had a competition tomorrow, all the classes today were basically self-study, except for this one.
Lei Zeen wants to explain the specific process of the three-school competition. Although it has been explained before, it is not very detailed after all: "The three-school competition has three rounds in total. The first round is an individual competition. The individual competition has a total of five games, and three out of five games are best. Even so, in order to make the final score easier to count, all five games must be played. If one of the games is a tie, resulting in a tie in the individual competition, an extra round will be played."
Without giving others time to ask questions, he continued to talk: "A person can participate in multiple matches, but once they fail, they cannot continue to compete. In overtime, players who have competed before are not allowed to compete, regardless of whether the opponent has failed before."
Failed players cannot play again, so the order of playing is very important. If the opponent plays weaker players at first, they can play stronger players for a while, strong enough to defeat three opponents at once. If the opponent plays a particularly aggressive player at the beginning, then send a defensive player who can consume the opponent's mental power.
Simply put, it is like Tian Ji's horse race, to see who has better tactics. Of course, this is when everyone's strength is evenly matched. If one side is particularly strong, then there is no need to pay attention to these, and just use force to defeat skill.
After talking about the individual battles, the next one is the team battle. Lei Zeen took a sip of water and said, "The team battle is for five people, and it is after all the individual battles are over. Normally, there is enough time to rest, but if someone of you is seriously injured in the individual battle, you can't play in the team battle. But don't worry too much, although..."
Lei Zeen paused, his expression dimmed. He took a deep breath and continued, "Anyway, the academy has already hired another doctor for you. If it's just a minor injury, he will definitely be able to treat it."
Because this matter involves Ye Lin, Lei Zeen, who was originally in a good mood, became gloomy again. He quickened his tone and finished talking about the last game: "The last one is the entertainment game. After the first two games, the three-school competition has actually ended. The last game has nothing to do with the previous results. It is just for entertainment. The rules are not fixed. The organizer will announce it at the time. However, the list of players for the entertainment game is usually voted by the audience. If you want to play, you should perform better in the first game."
After talking about the three matches, the next step is the overall rules: "Your teacher Meng should have told you about the points before. After the individual and team matches, the three schools will decide the winner based on the points. If the points of the schools are the same, there will be an overtime match, and the rules are the same as the overtime match of the individual match."
After explaining all the rules, Lei Zeen knocked on the podium and said, "Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask them now. I'm talking about you, Mo Xiaotian! Don't look around there."
Mo Xiaotian stood up with a frown on his face, and asked directly without any embarrassment: "How many days do we have to compete?"
"Usually it's three days, one day for individual competition, one day for team competition, and one day for entertainment competition at the end." Lei Zeen answered, "But there are exceptions occasionally."
"What exception, teacher?" Hearing him say this, everyone suddenly became curious.
Lei Zeen recalled: "A few years ago, there was a personal match. Both sides were deadlocked and refused to draw. We, the audience, endured for two hours. Today's personal match was not completed and had to be postponed for one day."
"So who won in the end?" Wu Mingbai asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
Lei Zeen smiled briefly and shrugged, "Draw. Later, the rules of the game added a rule that a draw would be automatically declared if the game was tied for more than ten minutes."
After two hours of hard work, it ended in a tie. It was like taking off your pants to fart. But it helped the organizers to modify the rules, which helped to find the loophole.
After Mo Xiaotian sat down, Jiang Tianming raised his hand again. After being called up, he immediately asked: "Do we decide the list of players ourselves or does the teacher help us decide?"
Whether it is an individual battle or a team battle, there is a problem involved, that is, who will play. If they are left to decide on their own, I am afraid that everyone will want to play and no one will be convinced.
But if they let the teacher make the decision, what if the teacher's idea is not to their liking? And if they lose, will the teacher be blamed? They want to use this three-school competition to help Meng Huai and his friends solve their predicament, but they don't want to end up not being able to help but causing trouble for them.
"It's mainly decided by the teacher." That's for sure. Letting students make their own decisions will cause a lot of confusion. "But it's also possible to discuss it. If most people are not satisfied with the teacher's arrangement, they can bring it up and discuss it again."
Because he didn't know what they were thinking, Lei Zeen answered truthfully: "I can tell you in advance that we have already discussed it. The first person to go on stage will be Si Zhaohua."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Although Si Zhaohua's ability was indeed very strong, it was reasonable to let him do the opening show. But who made everyone in Class S want to play? What if Si Zhaohua really beat five people at once? What would they have to do?
"Teacher, I think other academies might also send out offensive psychics first. We won't gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation, so why not send me to deplete the opponent's physical and mental strength first?" Jiang Tianming made a well-reasoned plan for himself to make an appearance.
There is no rest time in individual battles, unless you have a high-level spiritual power like Su Bei, which recovers very quickly, other people's spiritual power is gone after it is used up, and it is impossible to recover quickly in a short time. Therefore, it is a good choice to send a less powerful person to consume the opponent's spiritual power first.
Not only Jiang Tianming, Wu Mingbai, Mo Xiaotian, and Qi Huang all wanted to go on stage first. For this reason, Qi Huang even admitted that he was not as good as Si Zhaohua, and then persuaded the teacher to let him, who was weaker, go on stage first to find out the strength of his opponent.
