Chapter 114
As soon as Jiang Yunu said this, Lu Xixi and Leis Daniel suddenly exchanged glances in mid-air again.
People's words will convey unconscious biases, and there is a little girl with white hair who has not yet realized that when she said this, in fact, deep in her subconscious, she was already considering accepting it and the possibility of really taking the entrance examination with the graduating class next semester.
Only those who have considered leaving will worry about why they want to leave.
Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Yunu was looking down at the desk and couldn't see the current above his head, Reiss Daniel sighed silently.
I can't keep it.
Lu Xixi said with a soothing look: [This is normal.]
Children will be attached to their homes, and chicks will linger in their old nests at first, but when the time comes and the wind supports them, the little birds that can grow into birds of prey will always seize the opportunity to spread their wings and fly high.
Resdaniel said, "Do you want to take the test?"
He asked bluntly.
When dealing with a girl like Jiang Yunu, the best way to communicate with her is to not beat around the bush and speak directly. She will also answer you sincerely and directly.
Jiang Yunu said frankly: "I kind of want to, but I also kind of don't want to."
As the saying goes, one cannot have it all, but I am facing my own teachers anyway. If I am not honest with them, who else can I confess my inner conflict to?
Lu Xixi said, "Can you tell me in detail?"
Jiang Yunu faced his dilemma directly: "I like challenging things, but I also have a bit of the saying 'I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is'."
The white-haired girl pinched her thumb and index finger together again, making a literal "a little bit" gesture.
Then she clearly heard Teacher Lu snort.
Teacher Lei has not yet commented.
Jiang Yunu pretended not to hear: "As long as an opportunity is presented to me, and I feel that it is a level that can truly challenge myself, and it is something new that I have never tried before, I will be eager to try it and willing to test the upper limit of my ability, even if it means taking a small risk."
Lucy couldn't help herself this time. She asked, "Are you sure you're just taking a small risk?"
Obviously, Teacher Lu had already remembered that Jiang Yunu had faced the modified elemental beast alone in the practical competition.
She is not the only one who thinks of this fresh case.
Reiss Daniel smiled and said in a rather elusive way, "Student Jiang Yunu, your 'taking a small risk' and 'a little bit' sound a bit like what every traditional gambler would say, 'I will definitely not gamble next time.'"
As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it is untrustworthy that he would gamble again.
Jiang Yunu: "...Am I a gambler?"
Reisdaniel added, "Not yet, but I'm afraid that constantly taking risks is a reflection of your near future."
Jiang Yunu found it difficult to tell for a moment whether Teacher Lei's words were a sharp judgment or an accidental curse on her.
However, she felt that Leis Daniel still cultivated her as the top-quality radish seedling. She was the top student in Lei's heart, so no teacher would curse the future of his top student.
"I like adventure." Jiang Yunu changed his words and removed the previous mild quantifier.
Then she looked at Reisdaniel and asked without hesitation: "Teacher, don't you want me to take this test?"
"..." Reiss Daniel fell silent suddenly after being asked by her.
Jiang Yunu saw something from his silence and unexpectedly discovered that her teacher seemed to be as conflicted as she was.
All star regions are eager to cultivate young talents and hope that there will be people in their regions who can continuously leap upward and break through hierarchical barriers.
Being young seems to naturally have more possibilities than being older, so young geniuses are placed with more hopes than young talents.
This truth was first told to Jiang Yunu by Reis Daniel.
Lu Xixi was just a spectator on the side. She had been with Jiang Yunuo for a much shorter time than Reis Daniel. Unlike him, he had been with Jiang Yunuo since his first freshman class.
"...Teacher must hope that you can achieve success." Reiss Daniel said after a long silence. He changed into a lighter-colored coat today, which made him look younger than when he usually wore a dark coat. He felt only a few years older than the graduates of the Advanced Supernatural School.
Teacher Lei, who seemed particularly youthful today, said, "But I might not want you to leave so quickly."
Jiang Yunu tilted her head slightly, her movements seemed to convey doubt, but her expression was calm.
She quietly looked at her teacher who was in the same dilemma as herself.
Reiss Daniel sighed under her gaze: “If you walk too fast, you will be very tired.”
Jiang Yunu dug up a conversation they had shared: "But you also said before, teacher, that all schools in all star regions are striving to produce outstanding young talents, and our Enge is no exception."
Reisdaniel said, “Yeah.”
Jiang Yunu: "Teacher, you nominated me to participate in the school competition and gave me a chance to try to compete for a place in the inter-school competition. Isn't it because you saw that I have the potential to become a 'young talent' and wanted to give me a push?"
If Jiang Yunu had said this before she participated in the inter-school competition, others might have called her "shrewd," thinking she was trying to understand adults' thoughts despite her youth. But now that she had participated in the inter-school competition and returned from a league tournament, no one would underestimate her thinking.
Reisdaniel admitted: "Yes."
Jiang Yunu continued to look at the teacher she had frankly admitted.
Lucy said at the side, "But there's a huge gap between discovering a promising child and thinking you can slowly and systematically watch her grow, and then suddenly realizing she's been given a powerful growth stimulant and is about to soar into the sky. Isn't that right?"
Reiss Daniel finally smiled bitterly, but nodded at his colleague's ruthless exposure of his secrets.
"Yes," he said for the third time.
Then Jiang Yunu heard Teacher Lei sigh, and he reached out and patted her head, the cuff of his coat brushing lightly against her hair.
"But you don't have to worry about other people's feelings and thoughts about you. No matter what I or others think of this opportunity for advancement, you just need to make a decision based on your own heart." Reiss Daniel stroked Jiang Yunu's head for a few times before retracting his hand. "Have you ever wondered what would happen to your teachers, classmates, family, and friends if you really accepted this opportunity?"
Jiang Yunu: "..."
As expected of her teacher who has been teaching her since the first class as a freshman, he has a perfect grasp of her thoughts.
However, before Jiang Yunu could speak, Lu Xixi reached out and touched her head, as if taking over from Reis Daniel.
"Teacher Lei is right. Just follow your heart," Lu Xixi said. "Others may disagree with your choice, but just remember that those are not your opinions. You have to listen to your heart and ultimately choose the one you want most."
Jiang Yunu was touched on the head one by one. Before leaving the office, she asked the two teachers a question.
"Teacher," Jiang Yunu said, "What if I regret my choice after making it?"
"Then regret it," Resdaniel said calmly. "Learning to deal with regret is also an important lesson in life. And regretting a decision you made yourself and learning to bear the consequences is always better than regretting following someone else's decision."
Jiang Yunu asked, "Why is the former better?"
Res Daniel: "At least you won't always try to evade responsibility and try to shift the consequences onto others."
Jiang Yunu pondered over Teacher Lei's words and returned to the dormitory.
Was she really willing to accept this opportunity to take the skip-level exam? Jiang Yunu was unsure at first. She was initially concerned about what would happen to her teachers, classmates, family, and friends.
What about the roots she seemed to have just established in this world?
But let's ask from another perspective: [Is she willing to give up this opportunity? ]
When Jiang Yunu found herself obviously hesitating, she faced the other voice in her heart - she was indeed moved.
Can she take the skip-level exam? Regardless of whether she can do it or not, she at least has the qualifications now. As long as she nods, she can participate. The ticket to this challenge is even easier to obtain than the qualification for the joint school competition - just a nod is needed.
Am I willing to give up this adventure?
Jiang Yunu stood in front of the mirror in the dormitory bathroom, examining himself in the mirror, not missing a single change in expression on his face.
She seemed to want to dissect herself with her eyes, exposing her bones, chest and abdomen, so as to confirm her truest and deepest thoughts.
Then she felt a little person deep in her heart slowly and slightly shaking her head.
——She was not very willing.
No, that's not right.
She could be more honest with herself, she could omit those unnecessary euphemisms and soft parts that were left for outsiders to see, and say to herself more frankly:
"I don't want to."
She wanted to go outside, she wanted to go to a higher place and see the view. Although she didn't know what the scenery would be like there, she wanted to go and see it.
Jiang Yunu washed her face and came out of the small bathroom attached to her dormitory room. She sat on the single bed for a moment, then she called up the screen of her personal terminal, opened the address book, and sent a video call request to Qiao Daisi.
The call was quickly answered by Qiao Daisi.
The red-haired woman was in the dining room with a cup of scented tea in front of her. She might have just finished her work and was enjoying her Sunday evening leisure.
"Little Crossbow?" Aunt Daisy said cheerfully, "Did you forget to bring something? I can arrange for the earliest express delivery within the district tomorrow."
In this era, there is also express delivery service, in which self-driving express delivery trains deliver packages to designated addresses. Eng's dormitory area has a special package collection area.
Jiang Yunu said, "Aunt Dai Si, I have something to tell you."
"...Hmm?" Qiao Daisi looked at Jiang Yunu and slowly sat up a little straighter in the dining chair.
Subtly, she had already sensed that this was not a regular call.
