Chapter 199
Jiang Yunu: "Return to one's ancestors?"
This was the first word that popped into Jiang Yunu's mind.
However, Trista just looked at her as if she were a cute little fool.
"Our ancestors, the superpowered ones, didn't carry elemental beast genes," Teacher Trista said. "What kind of ancestry are we trying to return to?"
Jiang Yunu gave a shy smile that showed that his knowledge in this area was far from enough.
Teacher Trista poked her again with the tip of her finger. "You weren't just taking it for granted that since they're water-type mutants, maybe their ancestors' genes were related to water-type beasts? As an earth-type mutant, do you think your ancestors were related to earth-type beasts?"
Jiang Yunu said honestly, "Teacher, I don't know my ancestors either."
Trista: “…”
Teacher "Little Bird" was choked by the little girl, but was too embarrassed to poke her forehead for the third time, so she raised her thin eyebrows and rolled her eyes in a very un-teacherish manner.
"Anyway, just remember that the details of Lynette Nagu's transformation are that she has the characteristics of an elemental beast." Trista rolled her eyes and straightened her expression.
"The special substance she came into contact with might have been disguised as some kind of 'short-term, powerful energy booster,' so she could use it out of a desire to win the competition. However, it not only disrupted her energy core, prematurely depleting her core's energy reserves, but also transformed her into a monster."
Teacher Cuista called Jiang Yunu to her office and revealed this much to her.
As a student, Jiang Yunu seemed to have received enough information.
Unlike Bi Huaishu, Cuisita didn't specifically warn the girl not to spread the latest information. However, this could also be a sign that Teacher "Little Bird" trusts Jiang Yunu. Perhaps in her heart, Jiang Yunu is someone who doesn't talk too much, who knows when to open his mouth and when to close it tightly.
When the slightly moist summer breeze from Houde City blew on her face, Jiang Yunu, who was wearing summer casual clothes, was thinking about Lynette Nagu.
To be fair, she and the eldest lady were merely rivals, but far from being enemies.
Lynette Nagu may have had her own distorted upbringing and personal difficulties, but her difficulties and anxiety should not be borne by Jiang Yunu, nor by anyone who may surpass her in academics and combat abilities.
But from another perspective, Jiang Yunu felt that the eldest lady's "hardships" had brought her such bitter consequences, and this punishment was a bit too much.
Teacher Trista didn't say it explicitly, and the information that Pei Ya had previously conveyed did not make a clear conclusion, but everyone seemed to tacitly agree on the same point - "the condition is improving" is just an illusion, and the irreversible alienation of the body is the real situation.
Perhaps Lynette Nagu should pay the price for her arrogance, but Jiang Yunu would never lightly say, "Young lady, this is all your own fault," after being deceived by the guise of "becoming stronger" and "victory" and becoming part of a more secretive and dark organization testing special substances.
On the second day of the summer vacation, Jiang Yunu packed up his personal belongings and sent them, along with his luggage, to the idle property of the Ole family.
This time, Pei Ya stayed in school for two more days, a rare occasion.
For all the final exams at Ole Miss, students would leave school and return home as quickly as possible after the last final exam, leaving even their personal belongings to the robot butler to handle and pack.
Pei Ya deliberately stayed for two more days to accompany Jiang Yunu to handle some necessary procedures for participating in the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition. She also attended a pre-match meeting of the contestants as an auditor together with other Golden Uriel students who were shortlisted for the district-level competition.
"Although we've made it to the district competition, we'll be competing against students from the other second-largest districts," Pei Ya said on the car ride to the Aola family's vacant property. "But if you think about it, the district competition in the Challenge Cup is still an individual competition. You and the others will fight on your own for the final top ten ranking in the district."
Jiang Yunu said, "Well, yeah."
Jiang Yunu has lost some motivation to compete for the district ranking.
Pei Ya initially thought her reaction was a little odd, the white-haired girl seemed inactive, but on second thought, she quickly understood: she had been hoping for a normal mid-table finish in the final round of the school tournament, then happily return to District 7 for summer vacation. Then, by chance, she'd made it to the top three, then qualified for the district tournament, and then by chance, she'd have to spend her entire summer in District 2, delaying her return home for another six months...
"If we can get the tickets to the district competition again without any trouble, then you will probably have to participate in the advanced superpower school league next semester, the new school year." Pei Ya suddenly said again.
She mentioned the college league that will be held next academic year following the Challenge Cup.
Jiang Yunu also felt that this matter was almost certain to happen. Just by looking at the friendly attitude of the school team members towards her, and the warm greetings from other qualified players before and after the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition, she felt that she would definitely contribute to the school team in the next college league.
Jiang Yunu replied firmly, "Of course it is. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the hard work of the seniors."
Pei Ya's lips suddenly curled up. She pulled her thick glasses up a little, and with a rare, almost evil expression and a hint of an equally evil smile, she said, "If you continue to participate in the senior league, you might have to spend your winter break at the league camp at the end of next semester."
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Wow!
Yes, I completely forgot that the senior league would take up almost the entire school year.
"...I feel like playing a game is like Dayu controlling the floods," Jiang Yunu said quietly, "but Dayu could at least pass by my doorstep three times, while I can't even pass by my doorstep."
In this era, the legendary story of "Yu the Great's flood control" is still moving. After Jiang Yunu finished complaining, he only received confused expressions from his friends who didn't know what he was talking about.
Pei Ya patted Jiang Yunu's shoulder, seeming to sympathize with him, and even somewhat gloatingly, saying, "It's quite difficult to 'pass' from the upper three districts to the seventh district."
Jiang Yunu quickly turned her head towards the shoulder that was hit, and used her shoulder and head to clamp Pei Ya's hand "hard"!
Peiya: "...childish!"
Jiang Yunu said, "Huh! People who can't go home during holidays are childish."
Pei Ya's hand remained ruthlessly clamped in Jiang Yunu's "bear trap" for three minutes. Jiang Yunu finally released her when the car began to noticeably slow down and land in a vacant lot in front of a single-family house. Pei Ya shook her hand off, amusement-stricken, and asked, "Even if I can't return home, am I wronging you by staying in the Second District?"
Jiang Yunu had already seen the scenery outside through the car window with his sharp eyes.
"..." She quickly pulled Pei Ya's hand over, cupping it in her palms. She carefully rubbed the back of her hand, which hadn't been pressed to any mark. "No, absolutely not at all."
This is absolutely impossible.
The idle property of the Aolai family is located in a city called "Liaohao City", which is less than 40 minutes' drive from the indoor circular track where the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition of the second largest district is held.
As the "nouveau riche" of the Upper Three Districts, the Olai family certainly had plenty of money. Their vacant property in Liaohao City was also purchased in a prime location, with exclusive access to a vast expanse of greenery surrounding the small building. Outside, the house boasted three parking spaces for ground vehicles and a helipad for aircraft. The building consisted of three floors with a basement, front and back gardens, and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Jiang Yunu once again experienced the feeling of "it takes about one stop to walk from the front door to the guest room."
Who can say that Pei Ya treated her unfairly? If Jiang Yunu said this herself, she would not be able to help but punish herself by fighting another hundred elemental beasts - the real ones.
Although she didn't know if she could defeat a real elemental beast now.
But you have to punish yourself by beating a hundred of them!
The district-level competition of the "Challenge Cup" officially held its opening ceremony on the sixth day of summer vacation.
During this period, Jiang Yunu stayed in the idle property of the Aolai family.
When the competition officially started on the sixth day, Jiang Yunu packed up her simple personal belongings and was sent to the competition camp by the Aolai family's smart driving vehicle.
The official competition schedule for the district-level competition is 38 days, plus 5 days of rest and vacation for the players, for a total of 43 days.
Considering that it only starts on the sixth day of summer vacation, by the time the entire competition process is completed, a total of 49 days of summer vacation will have passed, which can be said to completely cover the originally long summer vacation.
Jiang Yunu put his personal belongings in the camp dormitory first - thanks to the generosity of the Second District Challenge Cup Organizing Committee, small single rooms were prepared for the district-level competition players.
After putting away the things, there was still a full hour before the contestants' meeting at 10 am. Jiang Yunu was one of the first people to sign in at the camp today.
She simply went out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance when I went out.
"Senior Sorok." Jiang Yunu recognized the figure that flashed by at the corner in front of her from a distance of half the camp dormitory corridor, and she greeted him directly from behind.
The figure at the corner stopped.
The person who had already turned the corner took a step back and leaned over from the corner post. "Jiang Yunu?"
Jiang Yunu's white hair had grown long enough to be tied up at the back of her head. She casually tied her hair into a small bun and walked towards the senior who had stopped to wait for her, shaking her bun. "It's me. I thought I was here quite early."
Solok smiled gently. "The rest of the school team has arrived too. They should go check out the meeting hall and the camp cafeteria first. I'll go to the dormitory to put my things away."
Jiang Yunu's eyes lit up. "Who went to see the cafeteria? What a strategic vision! My second planned stop is also to check out the cafeteria."
