Algae are also considered water-loving species
Yan Ning saw the contestants at the starting point, his eyes were dull and he couldn't speak for a long time, like a rag doll.
Guess what?
Yan Ning didn't take Yu Huiyan's words about "earthworms becoming spirits" too seriously, thinking that this water-loving species should be similar to her.
The contestants were likely mermaids, dragons, or willows. As it turned out, sea turtles and dugongs, aquatic creatures that normal people could understand, were just being polite. Even algae, considered water-loving species, were nervously taking their positions at the starting line.
Of course, the other students might not have understood this. Because at this point, it was just its original form, clinging to the water, among the other normal aquatic plants. Even its presence had vanished without a trace.
If they didn't have number plates on their heads that only the audience could see, Yan Ning would definitely not have known that contestant No. 1 was Shuizao's.
This world is indeed an open and inclusive world, Yan Ning sighed, and then pulled Xi Zhou to discuss which species have more advantages and which species will be more difficult.
Yu Huiyan had no idea what her classmates were thinking, but she was calm and composed. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her opponents, and she even greeted each of them in a friendly manner.
At the beginning of the competition, Yu Huiyan showed off her singing voice, reciting improvised lyrics in an exotic accent. Even her casual words sounded beautiful and pleasant, enough to linger in the ears for three days.
"I hope you'll sit down and listen to me sing."
"Stop right now and watch me reach the finish line~"
Exchange students cannot use magic in school exams or competitions, but their own characteristics can still be used.
If she used Yu Huiyan's own language, she was sure it would be tainted with magic and she would be punished. So she simply sang in Xinghe language. Even if she didn't see her reach the finish line, she could still hold on for a few seconds.
The results are encouraging.
Seeing her opponent's obsessed eyes, happily sitting down to listen to the song, Yu Huiyan swam with all her might...
No, it's absolutely wrong.
Yu Huiyan suddenly turned around and saw a layer of tender green clinging to her wavy, ocean-blue tail. She must have been secretly entwined with waterweed before the competition even began, and now she let out a cunning laugh.
Yu Huiyan: ...
Is this reasonable?!
I saw the beautiful tail swinging hard, breaking free from the water plants, creating a string of splashes of water, but the next second it crashed into the whirlpool of the trap.
"Congratulations to contestant Yu Huiyan for triggering the trap. Please listen to the question: Say an everyday spell related to the water element."
Good, good, good, this is a school like no other. They never forget to study. Not only does long-distance running have a test paper as a companion, but even swimming has quizzes. Looking at the gold-rimmed words floating before her eyes, Yu Huiyan wanted to lead the applause.
After solving the problem, she turned around and looked back to see that some classmates were stuck at the starting point. She suddenly stopped worrying and even waved happily to her class with a bright smile. Then, like a fish, she flipped in the air and dove into the water.
At that time, Hua Shaoqing in the audience was feeling dizzy on behalf of Yu Huiyan.
Yan Ning and the others were so excited that they pulled at her sleeves and shook her body, making her dizzy. She could still hear excited shouts in her ears, "Shashasha, how can Yu Huiyan be so beautiful! Absolutely stunning!"
Hua Shaoqing was so dizzy that he almost rolled his eyes. "Please, calm down..."
She didn't know what these people were so excited about. Judging from Yu Huiyan's condition, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get first place.
Mermaids are truly adept at swimming, and even young ones have experienced a hundred or two hundred years of hunting and catching marine life. With a little shrewdness, they can easily reach the middle of the water.
But then she saw the reef a few steps away from the starting point suddenly appear before her without any warning, even the moss pattern on it was exactly the same. Just as she was confused, disaster struck again and she received a debuff that paused for ten seconds.
Yu Huiyan was puzzled. She didn't trigger the trap?
"Your opponent triggers the reward, exchanges positions with the first place and delays for a while." At this time, this text appeared in front of her eyes.
She closed her eyes in despair, looked forward, and suddenly saw a humanoid creature in the farthest distance swimming desperately. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
If there is a chance, I must take revenge!
Ten seconds passed, and still no one reached the finish line. Yu Huiyan secretly encouraged herself and rushed forward again.
This time I was lucky and didn't encounter too much interference. I emerged from the bottom of the water at the finish line in full view of everyone. My hair, which should have been wet, was still fluffy, and my long eyelashes were covered with crystal water droplets. I looked very beautiful.
Yu Huiyan raised her head and listened proudly to the announcer announcing her good results.
"Congratulations to Shen Tu, a member of the Eldar Algae Bloodline Class 3, for taking first place! His time was 10 minutes 32.47 seconds!"
Everyone applauded loudly for almost five minutes.
Yan Ning regained his voice after a while and said, "The school grouping is reasonable. Water algae... are indeed good at water."
After the applause died down and the third runner reached the finish line, the announcer cleared his throat and continued, "Congratulations to Yu Huiyan, a member of the special class of the demon tribe and mermaid ancestry, for taking second place! Her time was 10 minutes 32.53 seconds!"
Yan Ning and the others were not willing to be outdone and also clapped and cheered, but Yu Huiyan herself was not feeling well.
Yu Huiyan:?
I am second???
And the first one was less than a second faster than me, or it was algae?
Yu Huiyan opened her eyes wide and looked around, but saw nothing.
"Schoolgirl, you better be smarter next time~"
A fingernail-sized piece of algae suddenly transformed into a humanoid form, releasing the aura-blocking magic. With a squinting gaze, he chuckled softly, "Actually, I've been staying above your head. If you look closely enough, you can see it."
Stay on top of your head?
Yu Huiyan was horrified and shocked, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. She couldn't help but touch her head. Although she didn't touch anything, she had the illusion that something else was living on her.
Eventually she realized that the other athletes seemed calm when the winners were announced and she got used to it.
The third one was a turtle. He waved his hand and said, "Senior Shen Tu has won ten consecutive championships, and her tactics are different every year. This year she said she wanted to tank, and we didn't believe her. Sure enough, she has a new idea again."
He thought for a moment, then comforted Yu Huiyan, "It's okay. Senior Shen Tu will graduate next year. You're so talented, you'll definitely win first place in our water-loving species swimming competition at the next sports meet."
Yu Huiyan was stunned and hesitated to speak. Finally, she listened to the senior's words of comfort, happily shook hands with everyone, and went to receive the award.
"Hey, Shen Tu, you have won the swimming competition for ten consecutive times, right?" The registering referee obviously knew the senior student and chatted with her for a few more minutes.
The senior student was very modest. "I'm just water algae. My talents are not very good, and my prototype is also very weak. I can only hang around here."
"I'm graduating next year, and I'm worried I'll do poorly on the graduation exam."
Yu Huiyan couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what were your previous test scores...?"
The referee had already handed her the medal and started explaining, "Don't listen to your senior sister's nonsense. She has never fallen out of the top ten in the grade! I'm just a grade behind her!"
Yu Huiyan realized it belatedly and looked at this figure, who was only about 1.5 meters tall. Her appearance was neither stunning nor exquisite, even a rather ordinary round face dotted with freckles. She had a shy smile on her face and was so modest that she seemed a little introverted. She was an older student who would be hard to find in a crowd.
She met Yu Huiyan's scrutinizing gaze and asked innocently, "Junior, is there anything wrong?"
Don't judge a person by his appearance, and don't measure the depth of the ocean by a bucket. The ancients were right!
Yu Huiyan was convinced and prayed sincerely that this would not happen when Hua Shaoqing came on the court.
Her wish was destined not to come true.
All competitions allowed the use of spiritual arts. Unfortunately, Hua Shaoqing's opponents were not easy to get along with. With group spiritual arts coming one after another, she was completely disoriented and had no idea where her target was, let alone winning!
The same thing happened to other people's competitions, and the one with the best performance was actually Yu Huiyan.
Optimists can sum it up in one sentence: Failure is the mother of success.
As for the competitions the students were so eagerly anticipating, whether it was the teachers making fools of themselves or showing off their skills, to be honest, neither of them materialized. They considered themselves teachers and didn't want to engage in shameless fighting. Furthermore, the teachers' competitions were for entertainment purposes, with no prizes even for a single star coin. Therefore, they were very measured and graceful in their actions, stopping at the right time.
Of course, the teachers Yan Ning had initially guessed, namely, teachers Yaru, Zhenlin, and Jingyu, all did win, or rather, except for the teachers in their class who had no talent for spiritual arts, everyone won easily.
Yan Ning seriously suspected that the teachers' perfunctory attitude towards the competition was related to the lack of motivation due to the lack of rewards.
After all, it’s the same salary, so why work so hard?
On the contrary, the teachers of their special classes are said to be mostly experienced teachers recruited from various schools, and they are a little more serious in their teaching.
The classmates were also very sensible. They didn't suffer much injury and were helped off the stage by the kind seniors who helped them to stay still.
No boxing match lasted longer than a quarter of an hour.
Fu Linyuan was furious and said: We must avenge our previous shame at next year's sports meet!
But when the enthusiastic Yan Ning asked him if he wanted to continue to sign up for the long-distance running, he immediately became dispirited and quickly pointed to other events.
Yan Ning took a look and happened to point his finger at the "Shuttlecock Kicking" competition. He instantly grinned and insisted on asking other friends to be witnesses.
"Are you sure? Are you planning to kick the shuttlecock with your head?" Hua Shaoqing asked sharply.
"Don't say that. What if Fu Linyuan can get a prosthetic limb next year?" Yin Zian covered his mouth and laughed.
"That's right, this little problem is no problem at all! Right, Fu Linyuan?" Heshun bumped into Fu Linyuan and winked at him.
Fu Linyuan couldn't laugh. He wanted to travel back to a few minutes ago and beat up the random handwriting.
God, please make them lose their memory. The believers are willing to eat vegetarian food for the next meal.
God didn't show up, so Fu Linyuan decided to continue eating meat for the next meal.
