Chapter 36

After learning that Si Zhaohua's ability was [Angel], Mu Tieren did not feel scared. Instead, he laughed like a fool and said, "What's the big deal? His ability is very famous. His famous ability must have weaknesses recorded in the book. We can just use the weaknesses to deal with him."

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned. This was an idea that no one had thought of before. Using the weakness of supernatural powers to defeat Si Zhaohua might actually be feasible!

Jiang Tianming stood up immediately: "Then I'll go to the library now..."

Before he could finish his words, he was forcibly pressed back to his seat by the wooden iron man, holding his shoulders: "Finish your meal first, and then have a good rest. There is a day between the individual battle and the group battle, so it won't be too late to check on that day."

Watching their conversation, Su Bei finally realized the necessity of the wooden iron man in this team. Because he had not participated in the investigation process before, Su Bei saw that the wooden iron man was a bit too ordinary compared to the other protagonists with their own personalities.

It was so mediocre that he couldn't help but wonder if this useless wooden iron man could really accompany the protagonist to the end or get off halfway.

Now he understood that the Iron Man was not useless. On the contrary, he was the safety bolt that the author put on everyone when they were lost.

Although Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai seem to have very different personalities, they are actually quite similar. They are both smart, scheming, and have strong egos, and their frustrations are similar. Basically, if one becomes a failure, the other will also become a failure for the same reason.

Next, let's look at Lan Subing, who has severe social anxiety. Although she has improved a lot in front of familiar people, it is still a bit unrealistic to expect her to comfort people. Moreover, she has always been very naive and easily vulnerable because she is well protected by her family.

Needless to say, Mo Xiaotian would not be hit, but at most he could provide emotional support and practical help to others.

Only the wooden iron man has a firm will, as if nothing can knock him down. Jiang Tianming is usually smarter, but when faced with a tough enemy or a brutal attack, the wooden iron man is the one who can think calmly.

This kind of person is exactly what the current protagonist group lacks!

As for Northern Jiangsu

Judging from his current character setting, he must be the kind of person who would suddenly disappear the moment the protagonists encounter danger.

No, he has another use.

Seeing that everyone was still distracted by what Mu Tieren had said, Su Bei swallowed the last bite of rice and said lazily: "When you couldn't eat because of Si Zhaohua who was expected to be ranked first, did you consider that there were many people ahead of you?"

——He who knows fate is responsible for kicking the protagonists back on track when they go astray.

I don’t know what these people are thinking. You know, we just finished the first round of the competition today! Except for Mo Xiaotian, the others haven’t even met anyone from Class B, but they have already started thinking about how to deal with the number one from Class A.

Although Su Bei knew that they would definitely make it to the last day, the people in the story didn't know. They were not sure they could defeat the next opponent, so they started to worry about how to defeat the top student in the grade. Isn't this ridiculous?

If he wasn't there, the protagonists would probably realize their mistakes tomorrow after receiving some small blows from other classmates. After all, none of them are easy to get along with, they are just thinking in the wrong direction.

But now that he is here, he might as well play his role to help them avoid this trouble.

After Su Bei finished speaking, he picked up the plate, stood up and left the cafeteria.

After he left, several people looked at each other in bewilderment. In the end, Jiang Tianming was the first to react. He was not angry at all because of Su Bei's sarcastic words just now. Instead, he nodded seriously: "Although the words are unpleasant to hear, they are right."

"Come on tomorrow, at least get in front of Si Zhaohua." Lan Subing clenched her fist to cheer everyone up. She also had to think about how to use her special ability tomorrow. As the eldest daughter of the Lan family, Lan Subing also had her own pride. She definitely didn't want to fail in the first three days!

Mo Xiaotian, who had been almost unaffected, shouted happily: "Great! The monthly exam is over, let's all go to Class A together!"

"Shut up." Wu Mingbai next to him scolded in a low voice, rushed over quickly to cover his mouth, and then glared at the classmates who were looking at them strangely.

The wooden iron man didn't think it was a big deal. He stretched out his long arms, picked up a few people and walked out together: "Hahahaha, let's go. Although Class A is a bit difficult, we will work hard."

On the other hand, Su Bei did not rest to recover his energy after returning to the dormitory. Instead, he simply packed up and went straight to the library.

The protagonists don't need to consider Si Zhaohua's affairs so early, but he does. He needs to understand the other party's abilities as soon as possible to see if there is anything that needs to be changed in his own abilities.

The fact that Class S has not yet been established is a good opportunity for Su Bei. The moment he heard Si Zhaohua's words, he realized that his previous answer to Jiang Tianming was actually right. It really is "no need to rush."

He doesn't know whether the protagonist will be admitted to the S class, but he must be able to enter. Yes, it is "can", not "must". He just needs the qualification to enter the S class, but he doesn't have to enter the S class. Whether to enter the S class depends on where the protagonist is in the end. Wherever the protagonist is, he will be there.

As expected, superpowers like [Angel] should be among professional superpowers. This kind of superpower is not uncommon and is usually very practical. For example, if you awaken the [Programmer] superpower, you can become a real programmer if you don't want to be a superpower user in the future.

In addition to being useful in combat such as attack and defense, this ability can also truly improve the owner's programming ability.

Sure enough, in the special category of the book introducing professional superpowers, Su Bei saw the [Angel] superpower.

Although this power is very rare, every time a supernatural being with the power of [Angel] grows up, he will definitely become a big shot, so it is not unknown.

The book doesn't describe it in detail, except that there is no way for angels to evolve, just like faith cannot be changed. It can only evolve from one pair of wings to two or three pairs of wings.

This mentions a point of knowledge that has not been discussed yet, which is "the evolution of superpowers."

"What kind of superpowers can evolve?" Su Bei's eyes widened. He didn't expect that looking up the information about the [Angel] would yield such an unexpected surprise.

Originally he was an ordinary person, and his parents were also ordinary people, so naturally they had no idea about many things about people with special abilities.

With new things he wanted to know, he no longer cared to continue looking for information about [Angels]. He put the book aside and started looking for a book that introduced the evolution of superpowers.

The evolution of superpowers was not a secret, and Su Bei quickly found a related book. From the introduction in the previous chapter of the book, he learned that when superpowers develop to a certain level, they will evolve.

The book gives several very simple examples, such as [fireball] becoming [fire element], [singing] becoming [sound]...

Yes, this is actually just the development of superpowers, not some real new knowledge. It's just that the development is deep enough, and the quantitative change leads to qualitative change, which has led to a greater change, and even the name of the superpower has changed.

After learning this, Su Bei no longer had any interest in this so-called "superpower evolution".

He turned his head and looked back at the book introducing Angel. Angel was a supernatural power that could be used for both offense and defense. Its wings were invulnerable to swords and guns, and each feather was extremely sharp.

But attacking with feathers is just a normal attack for the Angel ability, called "normal attack" in the game terminology. This unique ability is born with the ultimate move "Judgment". The more wings the Angel has, the greater the effectiveness of the Judgment.

The most powerful six-winged [Angel] psychic in history used his ability to "judge" a city's nightmare beasts, turning them into ashes.

It is precisely because of this that once this ability appears, it will be immediately hunted down by high-level nightmare beasts. Only top forces like the Academy of Superpowers can protect these rare superpowers, which is why Si Zhaohua came to the academy and did not mind showing off his superpowers.

After looking through the book and not finding any information about the weaknesses of the [Angel] superpowers, Su Bei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although it's not written in the book doesn't mean there are really no weaknesses, but it's clear that the weaknesses of [Angel] are not that easy to find. The protagonists are probably going to suffer a lot this time.

Leaving the library, Su Bei already had an idea in his mind. Si Zhaohua must be able to enter the S class, taking the supernatural power of [Angel] as the control group. If you want to enter the S class, you need to have a strong supernatural power, preferably both offensive and defensive without weaknesses.

He couldn't help but sigh, if only he could know a few more supernatural powers that would allow him to get into Class S. It would be useless to have only one supernatural power as a reference.

He sighed and turned on his phone. It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the information about tomorrow's match should be out soon. As expected, the official website updated the news.

Seeing his opponent, Su Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this time the opponent was a Class C student again, if I remember correctly, her ability was [Mist]. This ability currently had no offensive power, it just made the surrounding area foggy.

Although it is not specifically mentioned in the data, if nothing unexpected happens, the opponent's vision should not be affected in the fog, and only the enemy will be affected.

For ordinary people, it is certainly difficult to deal with such supernatural powers in a ring match. If they are not careful, they will be lured to the edge of the ring and then pushed down. After all, in the thick fog, they can't see not only their opponents, but also their own direction in the ring.

But there is no need to worry for Su Bei, as his fighting power is enough to allow him to easily deal with ordinary people who have not received professional training even if he is blind.

He looked at his opponent, and then at the opponents of the other protagonists. After seeing them, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and whistled happily: "It seems that tomorrow will be a relaxing day to watch the show."

The order of the competition on the second day was Lan Subing, Wu Mingbai, Jiang Tianming, Mu Tieren, Mo Xiaotian, and Su Bei.

After learning this order from the messages they sent, Su Bei couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the order of our competition deliberately set by the author?"

After seeing the order yesterday, Su Bei was sure that the order of their competition was deliberately set by the author, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the core protagonist group was at the end.

But the order of today's competition made him a little unsure about this guess. How come the protagonists were moved to the front? Did he guess wrong?

However, "comic consciousness" confirmed his guess: "It was set up by the author."

"Then why ..."

Before Su Bei finished his question, "Comic Consciousness" guessed what he was going to ask: "We put Jiang Tianming and the others in front today so that they can face a strong enemy and adjust their mentality."

So that's how it is, Su Bei suddenly realized. He had already discovered this problem as early as noon. The protagonists were too focused on Si Zhaohua and ignored the current situation.

However, through his ridicule at that time, those people should have become normal. Unfortunately, being normal is useless, and they still have to face the strong enemy.

Suddenly he thought of something: "It seems that the battle tomorrow for the rest of us will be ignored."

The length of the comic is limited. Even if the author wants to be more creative, it is impossible to draw 12 ring matches for the six of them. The first day's ring matches may be drawn in full, but the second day will be difficult. Now that Jiang Tianming and the other two have taken their places, there will probably be no plot for the others.

There was no need to reply, Su Bei already knew the answer. He certainly couldn't be upset about this, because his battle tomorrow was meaningless because the enemy was too weak.

He was just thinking, since he doesn't have any scenes tomorrow morning, what can he do with the morning time?

There are two options. One is to go and see Ai Baozhu and Zhou Pangzi in the ring and learn about their abilities. The second is to get in touch with Zhao Xiaoyu and Wu Jin.

He didn't have any contact with her before because there was no chance. Wu Jin was unknown in the class, and Zhao Xiaoyu usually only played with girls. He couldn't take the initiative to approach her.

However, the monthly exam now is a good opportunity. Having seen the monthly exam performance of these two people and given an evaluation of them, it is reasonable for Su Bei to contact them.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to do it with both of them. Zhao Xiaoyu and Ai Baozhu were teammates, so they would not miss their teammates' arena. He could just chat with them when he saw them in the arena.

I checked the information on the official website and confirmed that except for Ai Baozhu, these four people will compete in the morning.

The next morning, Su Bei opened the door and saw Feng Lan. He then remembered that Feng Lan was also in the morning competition.

"Good morning, shall we go together?" Su Bei asked. They had not spent much time together in the past two days. After all, they were in different teams and had to compete, so they were very busy.

Feng Lan nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you also participating in the competition this morning?"

"No, I'm in the afternoon. Jiang Tianming and his team are in the morning." Su Bei answered ambiguously. At first glance, it seemed that he was going to the playground to watch Jiang Tianming and his team's game. But who could have known that he had rejected the other party's invitation to go out last night, saying that he would go out alone today.

After hearing his words, Feng Lan did not ask any more questions and went to the playground with Su Bei. Looking around, it was Wu Mingbai's turn to play, and it seemed that Lan Subing had already finished playing.

Lan Subing's face was pale, but her mouth was not sealed behind the thick scarf. Instead, she pulled the scarf away, revealing her entire face.

What happened? Su Bei raised his eyebrows in surprise. But thinking that he would be able to see the comics tomorrow, he retracted his gaze.

After scanning the playground again for a while, Su Bei found his target - Zhao Xiaoyu. The opponent was the first player in Si Zhaohua's team to compete today.

The second one is Feng Lan.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be here now. Going to watch his teammates' games is a heartwarming act that Feng Lan has never experienced before.

Seeing that Su Bei actually came to Zhao Xiaoyu's stage with him, Feng Lan was obviously surprised and asked with his eyes why Su Bei followed him.

"She's acting quite interesting." Su Bei crossed his arms and said lightly. There was no hint of ambiguity in his tone, only the tone of watching a good show.

It was not until this time that Feng Lan looked directly at her teammates on the stage for the first time, as if she wanted to remember this person whom Su Bei said was "quite interesting".

Zhao Xiaoyu on the stage has already started fighting with her opponent. Her opponent today is a student from Class D, whose special abilities are not that powerful, at least not able to play any role on the stage.

Therefore, Zhao Xiaoyu directly adopted the method of yesterday, fighting and retreating, pretending to be fighting but powerless. This tactic has a miraculous effect on most ordinary people who have not practiced it. Once they are fooled, the situation will almost turn around in an instant and they will become the loser.

I have to say that this girl's acting skills are really good. Even for someone like her who has fought frequently before, if you don't look carefully, you won't realize that she is deliberately showing weakness.

The result was exactly the same as the first day without any surprises. The opponent couldn't control his laughter when he was made to laugh, and was easily sent off the stage by Zhao Xiaoyu.

Zhao Xiaoyu was in a very good mood after winning the victory. She was aware of her own abilities. It was already a success that she could pass the first two days' assessments with pure F-class abilities. All she had to do next was get good grades in the team battles and she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get promoted to a higher class.

In fact, except for Class F, all students in the School of Supernatural Powers are basically equal. The differences between classes are mainly between students, not between teachers.

Zhao Xiaoyu didn't think there was anything wrong with Meng Huai's teaching method. In fact, she felt that physical training was indeed the best teaching method for students in Class F.

But the problem is that she wants to improve her supernatural powers!

If she ends up returning to the world of ordinary people in disgrace, then what will become of the three years she has wasted and the special powers she has finally awakened?

After stepping off the stage, Zhao Xiaoyu was stunned when she saw Su Bei. She didn't understand why Su Bei came to watch her match.

After teaching Class F for almost a month, Zhao Xiaoyu thought he had seen a lot of things clearly. First of all, there was no doubt that Su Bei, Feng Lan, and Lan Subing would never stay in Class F.

Next were Mu Tieren and Jiang Tianming, who also looked like they could leave Class F. However, Zhao Xiaoyu was not sure about the reason for their special abilities.

Zhao Xiaoyu naturally wanted to integrate into this group of people in Class F who might be able to make a name for themselves. Especially the first three, just based on their special abilities, they were so powerful that Class F couldn't accommodate them. It would be much more useful to be able to get along with these three than with Si Zhaohua, who he didn't know at all.

But she has always been a smart person, and after realizing how difficult it was, she stopped wasting time.

However, what she didn't expect was that the person who she couldn't even approach before would now take the initiative to watch her ring match. Zhao Xiaoyu knew in her heart that this person could not have been brought here by Feng Lan. So why did he come here?

Thinking of this, she came over with some confusion: "Su Bei, Feng Lan, why are you here?"

"The competition just now was good." Su Bei first praised politely, and then showed his true intention, "Do you know what the abilities of Ai Baozhu and Zhou Renjie are?"

It turned out that he was here to inquire about the opponent's situation. Although Zhao Xiaoyu did not think that Jiang Tianming's team could be compared with Si Zhaohua's team, he still asked: "Why don't you ask the person next to you?"

Compared to her, the last person to join the team, Feng Lan, who was pulled into the team by Si Zhaohua at the very beginning, is definitely more likely to understand their special abilities.

Su Bei glanced at the person next to him who had an indifferent expression and looked as if it had nothing to do with him: "Do you think he will take the initiative to ask?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyu immediately understood.

Feng Lan was finally drawn to the topic related to herself: "I can ask."

"That's not necessary." Su Bei stopped him decisively.

If Feng Lan took the initiative to ask, Si Zhaohua would definitely find something wrong with his intelligence. When he asked who asked him to ask, Feng Lan would definitely not hide the secret for Su Bei.

At least for now, Su Bei definitely doesn't want his snooping behavior to be exposed in front of others. The "in front of others" here refers to the public, especially the protagonists. Not just one or two people. Therefore, it doesn't matter if Feng Lan and Zhao Xiaoyu know about this.

Feng Lan is not a gossipy person. Although he would probably tell the truth if someone asked him, who would ask him a question like "Has anyone tried to get information about us through you?"

As for Zhao Xiaoyu, if she refused to answer this question, she might just sell the book. But she would definitely answer it.

Seeing their interaction, Zhao Xiaoyu first smiled and said, "You two have a really good relationship."

Then he asked with a strange expression: "But I still don't understand why you want to come to me to ask. You know I am also in this team, right?"

Su Bei also laughed, and his laugh was quite meaningful: "Even if you said it, your team will definitely win, right?"

——And most importantly, although Zhao Xiaoyu hopes that their team will win, he doesn’t want too many people to be in the spotlight, especially those in Class A.

This is actually easy to understand. She wants to leave Class F with a good grade, the higher the better. But even a fool knows that there must be a teacher watching the whole process of the team battle. If she just lies down and is carried away by the members of Class A, how can she get any good comments?

But as long as the three students in Class A can be successfully targeted by others, leaving her with a certain amount of room to develop, this problem will be solved.

Of course, the premise of all this is that even if they are targeted, this team will definitely win. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and effort. And Zhao Xiaoyu is obviously very confident about this.

She is essentially a sophisticated egoist.

So after listening to Su Bei's words and thinking for a moment, she nodded with a complicated expression: "I promise you."
