Chapter 187
Lynette Nagu opened her mouth wide and screamed with a complete loss of composure.
But what came out was not the scream of a sixteen-year-old girl, but a hissing sound with a higher frequency and stronger penetrating power.
The second match of the third round of the "Challenge Cup" campus competition ended in a way that Jiang Yunu had never imagined.
It certainly can't be a natural finale.
There was no winner, and the time limit set by Principal Bi was not reached.
The blonde, domineering Miss Nagu, who was determined to suppress Jiang Yunu, the "most popular newcomer", drew endless power from her energy core and fought in a "wasteful" manner for most of the game. Then, she underwent a transformation in front of everyone on and off the stage.
At first, Linettenagu's facial features only became somewhat hideous and distorted, as if she could no longer control her facial expression after continuously using high-consumption skills. Then, her arms slowly began to mutate, and her legs unconsciously adjusted their stance, with her knees slightly bent and her joints protruding.
She became more like some kind of humanoid beast.
The battle was automatically stopped by the intelligent system which detected an anomaly.
When the school teacher who received the emergency call rushed over, Linet Nagu was standing stiffly on the fighting stage. She asked Jiang Yunu in a hoarse voice: "What did you do to me?!"
At this moment, Miss Nagu's first reaction was to blame Jiang Yunu, and she habitually looked for problems in others.
Jiang Yunu responded with silence.
"Answer me! Speak! Are you feeling guilty?!"
Miss Nagu was hysterical. She seemed to feel that Jiang Yunuo's silence was a sign of guilt. It also seemed that in Jiang Yunuo's silence, she gradually felt a sense of guilt and panic.
Then the hysterical Miss Nagu was taken away by Teacher Trista.
Teacher Xiaoniao usually liked Jiang Yunuo and loved to give the white-haired girl extra attention, but this time, for the first time, the moment Trista appeared, her golden eyes were fixed on the transformed Linette Nagu. She didn't show a single unnecessary expression from beginning to end, her face cold and hard. She didn't say a word to Jiang Yunuo, but decisively and expressionlessly led Linette Nagu away, ignoring the other students still present.
Jiang Yunu walked down the fighting stage alone.
There was a large number of spectators gathered below the fighting stage. Some of them heard Linette Nagu's hoarse questions after the mutation, and they were not sure whether the eldest lady's mutation was really related to the "commoner genius", so when Jiang Yunu walked towards the crowd, some people subconsciously stepped back.
But some people stepped back, while others stepped forward decisively.
"Are you okay?!" Pei Ya was the first to rush over. She rarely made such big movements, and she didn't care whether the crowd would pay attention to her because she rushed towards Jiang Yunu.
Pei Ya took off her thick glasses and looked at Jiang Yunu carefully, left and right, as if she was afraid that Linette Nagu's alienation would be transmitted through the battle.
"I... am fine." Jiang Yunu paused slightly before answering.
The strange look of Lynette Nagu just now was still lingering in her mind.
The school team, led by Sorok, was the one who took the initiative to approach Jiang Yunu.
Sorok frowned deeply, with a deep furrow between his brows.
But he comforted Jiang Yunu, "Don't think too much. It has nothing to do with you that he became like that."
It was obvious that it could not be caused by ordinary supernatural skills.
Someone in the crowd asked Solok, "Are you sure? How dare you jump to conclusions so quickly? The teacher just took Miss Nagu away, and the test results aren't out yet."
Solok didn't even turn his head, but he seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He said in a steady tone, "I've fought in three-digit more elemental battlefields than you have. My combat experience is ten times yours, and I still have room to spare."
The heckling in the crowd faded.
The school team seemed to be trying to protect Jiang Yunu.
"If you have doubts about my combat knowledge and experience, and think I am unqualified to answer this question based on my experience and knowledge, there is an empty fighting platform nearby. You are welcome to fight me." Sorok said finally.
At least today, Jiang Yunu no longer heard any voice questioning whether the Linette Nagu incident was related to her.
After Miss Nagu was taken away by Teacher Trista, she did not show up for many days.
However, the elders of the Nagu family showed up on campus.
That is the lady of the Nagu family, said to be the mother of Miss Nagu.
As soon as this elegantly dressed lady arrived at Golden Uriel Academy, she went straight to the principal's office and asked Bi Huaishu to see "the culprit who caused her daughter's alienation."
Bi Huaishu received the lady. Upon hearing this request, he kept a polite smile on his face, not moving at all. "Excuse me, but what do you mean by 'the culprit'?"
"Of course it's that wild girl she played against in the school tournament!" The Nagu family's wife slapped the principal's desk with her well-maintained, precious palm. Then, as if pricked by the principal's "showpiece" desk, she screamed and quickly pulled her hand away from the surface. "Excuse me, your desk is so crude. It's time to replace it with one more suitable for your status."
Bi Huaishu's smile remained as if painted. "Thank you for your advice, but this desk is of great commemorative value to me, and I have no intention of replacing it for now. And with all due respect, Madam, if you are looking for a 'wild girl', I'm afraid such a person doesn't exist in our school."
Mrs. Nagu's eyebrows were raised high. She took great care of each eyebrow, without a single stray hair, and the hair flow was neatly groomed.
Bi Huaishu didn't give the other party a chance to object. He continued, "That day, the person who fought against Linette Nagu was Jiang Yunu, a freshman from our school. You may have been misinformed and didn't know the name of your opponent."
Mrs. Nagu's face froze for a moment.
"...I don't care what her name is." The lady quickly waved her hand, her words full of disdain for Jiang Yunu. "I heard that she is indeed a wild girl from the Seventh District, a real country bumpkin! She must have used some despicable means to win by scheming, and maliciously framed my child on the fighting stage!"
Bi Huaishu has been in the social world for many years. Although he looks young, his social experience is not young at all. He is good at speaking the truth to people and telling lies to ghosts. This means that in addition to meeting many different kinds of people, he has also met many different kinds of ghosts.
This means that he is determined to shift the blame to Xiao Jiang.
Bi Huaishu pondered this conclusion in his mind.
After sucking it, he found it a little funny.
This genuine sense of amusement made Principal Bi's originally "welcoming" smile even more genuine.
"Ma'am, you may not know what you're talking about, or perhaps you've heard some rumors that don't align with the facts," Bi Huaishu said politely. "After your child, Linette Nagu, showed signs of abnormality during the battle, he was immediately taken away by our teachers and sent to the medical center for emergency treatment and investigation."
When she heard that the school had provided emergency treatment and investigation, Mrs. Nagu's delicate eyebrows twitched slightly.
She suddenly became a little quieter and looked at the young principal in front of her with an unfathomable look.
Bi Huaishu: "Because the incident happened suddenly and the situation was serious, we first quickly examined Linette Nagu's physical condition to find out how the mutation occurred. We also extracted and tested tissue samples from her affected area. We then discovered that her mutation seemed to be related to some unknown dangerous substance that forcibly interfered with her natural energy core. It entered her body 12 hours before the battle began, and it was this external substance that triggered the mutation."
Mrs. Nagu blinked rapidly.
The lady was still trying to forcefully blame Jiang Yunu: "This... come to think of it, it must be that wild girl! She must have found a way to get this dangerous substance and deliberately harmed my child! I heard that this kind of stuff can only be manufactured in the backward star districts. Recently, there are people who specialize in smuggling it from the seventh and eighth districts to the upper three districts. Isn't she from the seventh district? Maybe she is also involved-"
Bi Huaishu's smile remained unchanged, his eyes deep. He suddenly spoke, interrupting the noble lady's attempt to fabricate Jiang Yunu's involvement in smuggling goods: "Madam."
Principal Bi said calmly, "Someone has recently been smuggling special substances into the Upper Three Districts. This is confidential information within the major association systems. It seems you are well-informed."
"..." Madam Nagu suddenly closed her mouth tightly, her eyes wandered for a moment, avoiding looking at Bi Huaishu.
In fact, as long as Mrs. Nagu wants to continue to shift the blame, she can just say that she does have special information channels. After all, she is also a "Nag", so what's wrong with knowing some inside information?
However, strangely, after Principal Bi said something that seemed to have a hidden meaning, the lady no longer tried to shift the blame, but instead seemed to want to end the topic in a hurry.
"I see." Mrs. Nagu stood up from the visitor's chair across from the principal's desk. "Then there may indeed be some misunderstanding. It seems that for now, it is more important to focus on Lynette's recovery. I think I should return home today and not disturb your school any further."
After saying that, Mrs. Nagu rushed to the principal's office as hurriedly as she came, and then hurried from the principal's office to the helipad, and left in a luxurious exclusive vehicle.
Jiang Yunu was not called to the office building until the wife of the Nagu family had left the school in a vehicle for most of the day, and listened to the principal tell her the story of the past.
"She specifically asked to see me." The white-haired girl was a little confused. "Why didn't you ask me to come over right then?"
"Did they want to see you?" Bi Huaishu relaxed a little when he had no more visitors. He leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. "They wanted to put pressure on you. They wanted to force you to take responsibility for the abnormal situation, so that they could have a relatively respectable reason for the abnormality and issue an announcement to the public, playing the victim."
Jiang Yunu said: "I will not be easily overwhelmed by this kind of pressure. You are also a fair and just principal."
Bi Huaishu boasted unashamedly, "I am indeed a fair principal—so why should my students come to see someone who the principal can just send away?"
It’s not like he only knows how to sell salad sponsorship!
