Chapter 69
On the day of the school competition, Jiang Yunu suddenly discovered that he had a small "cheerleading team".
That day she had breakfast in the South Cafeteria. When she went to the cafeteria, she was alone with her roommate and classmate. Then she met Joyson at the cafeteria door.
As I walked into the cafeteria, someone at a table near the door immediately raised their arm and waved, "Here!"
The other person shook his arms with a wide swing, instantly attracting a lot of attention from the surroundings.
Jiang Yunu looked over there following the sound and found that it was her "Bambi senior" Hu Banna, whom she hadn't met for a while at school.
——Zhou Jinxue was also sitting next to him.
Jiang Yunu: “?”
Whether it was Senior Bambi's familiar greeting that was obviously directed at him, or the fact that he and Senior Zhou appeared here at the same time and sat at the same table, Jiang Yunu subconsciously stopped.
It feels a bit unbelievable.
Zhou Jinxue seemed to understand what her schoolmate was thinking and spoke first in a calm voice, "I'm waiting for you here. He said he was waiting for you and Qiao Yisen, too. He sat down on his own before I gave him my permission."
Senior Bambi's eyes lit up: "Wow! You know what? This is the first sentence I've heard her say since I came to the cafeteria today!"
It was obvious that Zhou Jinxue had no interest in paying attention to the familiar people except Jiang Yunu. She ran from Hubana to the table and sat down without permission. Senior Zhou, who was famous for her "coldness" in her grade, probably didn't say a syllable to the other party.
Jiang Yunu didn't remember that she had made an appointment with senior Bambi to meet in the cafeteria, but she noticed the mention of Joyson in his words and turned to look at the red-haired boy beside her.
Qiao Yisen touched the tip of his nose and immediately explained, "I mentioned to the senior that you were going to participate in the competition today, and the senior said that he had to come and cheer you on."
The competition will be held in the morning, and the contestants will gather in the auditorium after breakfast.
So, the best time to cheer for the contestants is, of course, the precious breakfast time!
Zhou Jinxue also thought so, but she was really busy recently. The arrival of the school competition meant that their grade's midterm exam and the departure of the Engel school team were not far away. Senior Zhou was so busy that she felt dizzy and forgot that she had made an appointment with Jiang Yunu to meet in the cafeteria last night.
"But you still came to the cafeteria to wait for me." Jiang Yunu sat down next to Zhou Jinxue and asked curiously, "Senior, aren't you afraid that this trip will be in vain?"
Zhou Jinxue calmly took a sip of the hot drink the robot brought her, wiped off the tiny bit of bean dregs that stained the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Since I've known you, you've never eaten breakfast outside of the South Canteen."
This is true. Jiang Yunu doesn't like to sleep in or lie in bed. She has been going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast every day since she started school. Because the South Cafeteria is closest to the dormitory area, it is her regular place to eat.
Zhou Jinxue was well aware of Jiang Yunu's habits. In her eyes, her schoolmate was like a small animal that ate at a fixed time and place. She would go to the place where she ate to look for her, and there was no chance of missing her.
After listening to this, Jiang Yunu felt that the senior sister's idea of finding someone was very logical, but she blinked and said pleasantly while sitting next to Zhou Jinxue, "I thought that this was because the senior sister believed in our fate, because our fate must be deep enough, so we would definitely meet each other."
My roommate and I opened our eyes wide.
This was the first time that the roommate heard Jiang Yunu speak to someone like this.
The quiet roommate silently looked Jiang Yunu up and down, then said softly from the other side of Jiang Yunu, "Xiao Jiang, you've never said such coaxing words in the dormitory before."
Jiang Yunu: "..."
The roommate from the same class was also a wonderful person. Just as Jiang Yunuo and Qiao Yisen sat down at the table one after another, the roommate who came with Jiang Yunuo glanced at the seniors who were not very familiar with him, and actually walked towards the empty table across the aisle.
Zhou Jinxue and Hu Bana were occupying a table for six, which could easily accommodate one more person. Jiang Yunu, with his sharp eyes, noticed that his roommate was going in the wrong direction, so he immediately pulled him back and pulled him to sit in the empty seat on the other side of his roommate, asking, "Where are you going?"
After being pulled to sit down by Jiang Yunu, the roommate said, "I thought I wasn't invited."
A small cold wind seemed to blow across the dining table: "..."
Only Jiang Yunu was unaffected by the atmosphere. He asked curiously, "How could that be? You came with me, so there must be a seat for you next to me!"
The roommate smiled quietly and shyly, took the seat to Jiang Yunu's right, and finally sat down.
To the left of Jiang Yunu is Zhou Jinxue.
Zhou Jinxue not only reserved a seat for Jiang Yunu, but also placed an order in advance on the cafeteria system, all according to Jiang Yunu's usual dining preferences. Less than three minutes after several first-year students sat down, the cafeteria robot began to serve food one after another.
After a satisfying breakfast, Jiang Yunu looked up and found that everyone had put down their cutlery and was looking at her.
Zhou Jinxue asked, "Are you full?"
Hubana said, "Eat well to have the energy to compete! Although you're competing in theory, using your brain is also very physically demanding."
Joyson said, "You can't eat too much, or you might get food dizziness."
My quiet roommate highlighted the reason everyone was gathered here: "Xiao Jiang, good luck in the competition!"
Although he was only participating in an on-campus competition, Jiang Yunu inexplicably felt as if he was being sent to a solemn examination hall by his relatives and friends.
At this moment, she didn't know that she would have many such experiences in her life of walking towards an examination hall with the blessings and expectations of others.
Jiang Yunu felt that it was a little exaggerated at the moment, but she also felt that her affairs were cared for by the people she interacted with every day, which made her a little touched.
"Okay." Jiang Yunu said confidently, just like when he was talking to Aunt Daisy on the phone, "I'll do my best!"
She also patted her chest.
Hu Bana and Zhou Jinxue were heading to their respective elemental classrooms for small-group classes on supernatural powers, while Qiao Yisen and his roommate were heading to the public classroom for a theory class. They weren't traveling with Jiang Yunu, who was heading to the auditorium, but they all decided to walk Jiang Yunu to the auditorium entrance together, giving her some encouragement there before splitting up and heading to their respective classes.
When Jiang Yunu and the others disappeared, she turned around and walked into the auditorium... and then met Teacher Lei at the main entrance, who was looking at her with a half-smile.
Leis Daniel said, "What a grand event, Jiang Luobo. Did your small group of relatives and friends even need to send you here specially?"
Jiang Yunu felt the encouragement from her own "cheerleaders", but she was not sure whether people like Senior Bambi, who she did not interact with much, could be considered her family and friends.
So she just smiled at Reiss Daniel and got away with it with a smile: "Hehe."
Teacher Lei was still wearing a long windbreaker today. The fabric was thicker than the one he wore at the beginning of the school year, and the clothes were also crisper, making him look taller and more upright.
"Stop giggling and go in to listen to the pre-match briefing." Reiss Daniel gently pushed Jiang Yunu's shoulder and whispered as she continued to walk in, "Come on, do your best."
Jiang Yunu found a seat in the front row of the auditorium and sat down. She listened to a fifteen-minute introduction to the competition system and the code of conduct for the players, then checked her test number on her personal terminal. Then, she followed the other people who stood up and walked out of the auditorium to the real competition venue.
The actual competition venue is a large multi-purpose room that can accommodate one hundred players. Everyone is seated according to their number, and each seat is equipped with signal shielding and monitoring equipment to ensure that players cannot use personal terminals or any other electronic devices to check information or seek help from outside during the competition.
As for listening to the lecture in the auditorium at the beginning - hehe, it was just a traditional formal process that old schools usually follow when organizing competitions.
Jiang Yunu sat in his seat, waiting for the competition, or rather the exam, to begin.
If it is a theoretical competition, then the competition format is of course answering questions.
Jiang Yunu first did the basic text quiz questions for Group A, which tested basic knowledge related to elemental powers and elemental beasts. It was closely related to what the first graders were learning, making it very easy for her to answer.
After the text-based questions in Group A, the students moved on to the advanced questions in Group B. Group B's questions went beyond the first-grade curriculum and began to expand on the knowledge required of higher-grade students. Fortunately, Jiang Yunu had already been forced by Teacher Lei to do "extra homework" many times, and each time she did it, she absorbed a little more knowledge beyond her grade level.
It was only when Jiang Yunu finished the questions in Group B that she realized that she had unknowingly filled her head with so much knowledge that was beyond the scope of the syllabus for a first-grader.
She also finished answering Group B relatively smoothly, and then it was Group C's turn.
Generally speaking, the first set of questions is basic, the second set is more advanced, and the third set is where the specially designed difficult questions appear. These difficult questions can be categorized as moderately difficult, extremely difficult, or even extremely difficult. Although this was Jiang Yunu's first time participating in the Engel campus competition, she knew that the difficulty of various exams and competitions throughout history had always followed this pattern.
The questions in Group C were indeed very difficult.
And starting from Group C, the questions were no longer just pure text. Four translucent vertical boards rose up around Jiang Yunu's seat, forming a small space that framed her.
Jiang Yunu looked around distractedly and found that everyone else was the same.
After the four boards form a cubic space, the front board becomes a screen and begins to simulate different scenarios. The test-taker is required to quickly respond to various problems and troubles that arise in the simulated situations.
Only when you can apply the theoretical knowledge you have memorized in your mind into practical situations can you be said to have truly mastered the knowledge.
This round was not only more challenging, but also tested one's ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The space enclosed by four vertical panels also provided sound insulation and noise reduction. Jiang Yunu could not hear any audio activity from other people's side, only her own.
But after finishing this set of questions, Jiang Yunu glanced to the side through the translucent board and suddenly found that a seat next to him had become empty and the vertical board had been lowered, so the original candidate could no longer be seen.
