Chapter 72
The top of the school competition is a freshman!
The cafeteria is one of the places where news spreads the fastest on campus. It took only half a day for this explosive news to spread radially to almost the entire Enge campus, using all the students who had lunch in the South Cafeteria at noon that day as a transit point.
Jiang Yunu suddenly realized that no matter where she went, she received more strange looks.
Faced with this situation, she was a little confused at first.
The strange stares were usually accompanied by a few whispers. Students of the same grade or higher grade who didn't know her would gather in groups of two or three, glancing at her constantly and muttering:
"Is this it?"
"It's her, isn't it?"
Jiang Yunu had good hearing and was sensitive to other people's gazes. She caught all these movements, and every time she turned her head directly to look at the person who seemed to be paying attention to her.
Most teenagers are thin-skinned, and many of them cannot stand being stared at by the person they are "chatting" with.
Jiang Yunu turned her head and looked ten times. Seven or eight times she saw the person opposite her keep silent and look away as if nothing happened. The small team that was observing her remotely disbanded on the spot.
Jiang Yunu: “?”
However, there were two or three times in ten chapters where the opponent was bolder and thicker-skinned, and was seen by Jiang Yunu, who became braver and came up to talk to her.
Someone opened his mouth and asked, "Are you the new student?"
"..." Jiang Yunu thought for two seconds, "The midterm exam is next week. Strictly speaking, all the first-year students are no longer considered freshmen."
She answered the other party sincerely.
The other side seemed to be choked.
The person who bravely approached the conversation wasn't misled by Jiang Yunu's magical logic. He quickly adjusted his expression and asked again, "Are you Jiang Yunu, the first place winner of this round of the school competition?"
Jiang Yunu admitted: "I will not change my name or surname. I am indeed Jiang Yunu."
After hearing this, the person on the other side looked at Jiang Yunu again with a look of surprise and admiration, and then... ran away.
Ran towards the small group that came with the other party.
He ran towards his companions, shouting, "Hey, this is it!"
His companions, who were too embarrassed to get close to observe Jiang Yunu, simply stretched their necks and watched Jiang Yunu, whose identity had been confirmed, from a distance.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
To be honest, Jiang Yunu felt like some rare animal, a semi-open one that could be viewed up close by brave individuals.
A few days passed like this, and even Qiao Yisen, who went in and out with her, was almost used to being watched. Jiang Yunu then found a more precise definition for herself -
"I feel like," Jiang Yunu said, "I'm like a mobile check-in point on campus."
Regardless of whether you know her or not, regardless of whether you have met her before in school.
There is no limit on grade, gender, number of people, or even distance between them.
...She has been "checked in" by countless people from far and near in the past few days!
There were even some teachers who came to "check in".
Since Jiang Yunu started school, she'd seen the general theory teachers most often, and the one she was most familiar and close to was Reiss Daniel. These past few days were the first time she'd noticed so many unfamiliar teachers at Enger Primary School for Supernatural Powers!
In a school where all students are minors and the oldest senior graduate is only sixteen years old, the adult faculty and staff are too easy to identify.
Jiang Yunu also met another "semi-acquaintance" - because she had met the other person once before in school, so he was not a complete stranger, but it was just a one-time meeting and there was no time to establish any understanding between them, so the girl privately defined the other person as "semi-acquaintance".
Jiang Yunu met this "half-familiar" teacher again when he attended the Enge school team meeting for the first time as a reserve student.
According to the notice received on the day the ranking was announced, Jiang Yunu arrived at the designated classroom as scheduled on Wednesday afternoon.
This classroom should be the fixed dedicated classroom of the Enge school team. The smart lock in front of the door has permissions. The visitor's personal terminal must be scanned first to confirm that the terminal has the permissions before entry.
Jiang Yunu used her personal terminal to scan the code as required. She heard a beep indicating she had passed, and then the electronic door slid open in front of her.
Before the appointed time of four o'clock, there were already people in the classroom.
As the electronic door opened, the first thing I saw was the podium at the front of the classroom. Behind the podium stood a tall figure, dressed neatly, with the narrow cuffs of his straight trousers tucked tightly into his leather boots.
The lady in boots turned her head and looked towards the door. She had a sharp look, and when she saw Jiang Yunu, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Welcome," said the lady in the boots. "You are certainly capable, little girl."
Jiang Yunu quickly recognized that this was the female teacher who had suddenly appeared behind her and Qiao Yisen when they were talking about the "School of the King of Curriculum" in the corridor of the teaching building, and solemnly declared that their school was much better than the "King of Curriculum".
The female teacher's surname is Lu, and her full name is Lu Xixi.
She is Engel's exclusive instructor of wind elements and also the leader of the Engel school team.
When they met for the first time, Jiang Yunu always felt that Teacher Lu seemed to observe her for a little longer. When they met again today as a reserve student for the school team, she was sure that it was not an illusion of self-satisfaction last time.
Because after Teacher Lu praised her for her performance in the school competition, he immediately followed it with, "-- Senior Zhou, who has lived up to your reputation, is always praising you everywhere."
Zhou Jinxue's supernatural attribute is wind. She has been learning from Lu Xixi since the elemental teaching began.
And Zhou Jinxue is an official member of the school team.
Before Jiang Yunu could react to Lu Xixi's words, a familiar female voice cleared her throat at the back of the classroom.
Zhou Jinxue's light girlish voice rang out: "Teacher, please stop joking with me."
Jiang Yunu immediately turned to the back of the classroom and said, "Senior!"
Lu Xixi stood on the stage and said, "Little classmate, such a big teacher is standing here, and I was the one who spoke to you first. Why did you call your senior sister Zhou as the first sentence?"
Jiang Yunu had already spotted Zhou Jinxue sitting in the back row. She turned her head and, as if to make up for lost time, quickly called out, "Teacher Lu." Then, blinking, she said, "I heard you say that Senior Sister is always praising me everywhere, and now that she's here, I can't contain my overwhelming gratitude."
Lu Xixi stood at the podium with her arms folded, looking at Jiang Yunu. She was obviously choked by the nice words that Jiang Yunu said, but she was knowledgeable and soon realized the fun of watching this sweet-talking girl teasing another cold girl.
As both the exclusive teacher of the wind element and the team leader, Lu Xixi doesn't always have the free time to listen to students' interpersonal gossip. However, Zhou Jinxue, such an outstanding student who is known for his aloofness, suddenly has a "smart junior sister" who he talks about from time to time. Lu Xixi had previously paid attention to who the junior sister that Zhou Jinxue always praised was out of curiosity.
What a coincidence, the clever little classmate who was often praised by the aloof girl was also on their school team.
Lu Xixi waved her hand generously, telling Jiang Yunuo not to stand by the door anymore, and let Jiang Yunuo go straight to the back row of the classroom and sit next to Zhou Jinxue.
Zhou Jinxue came to the school team's special classroom with Teacher Lu, about twenty minutes earlier than Jiang Yunu.
In the past twenty minutes, Senior Zhou had been casually chatted with Lu Xixi about Jiang Yunuo's performance in the school competition.
When many seniors face a junior who has become very popular, even if they do not deliberately compare them, they are likely to feel a bit like "watching the waves behind push the waves in front".
When it came to Zhou Jinxue, she seemed to be happy only for Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu had already received Zhou Jinxue's congratulations. She sat down next to her and continued, "Senior, are you really going around praising me?"
"..." Zhou Jinxue said, "There are no four."
I didn’t brag about it everywhere, but I did praise it.
Jiang Yunu successfully deciphered half of the senior sister's words, and his smile was a little cunning and a little complacent.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinxue raised his hand and patted her forehead.
This was Jiang Yunu's first time attending Enge's school team meeting. The content of the meeting was closely centered around preparations for departure, and not much was said about the details of this round of inter-school competition.
As the meeting was about to end, Lu Xixi knocked on the podium and asked several reserve students who joined the school team this year to stand up and say hello to the official members of the school team, which was considered a small "ice-breaker".
The order of self-introduction is naturally according to ranking.
Jiang Yunu was the first one.
The school team meeting mainly features free seating. Everyone can sit in the front or back according to their preference. There are no hard and fast requirements. Jiang Yunu had previously sat in the back row with her senior schoolmate and only saw the backs of the heads of the school team members. When she stood up, suddenly everyone in front of her turned to look at her. She glanced at everyone's faces and suddenly realized that more than 90% of the seniors here were also "semi-familiar faces."
——These are all people who came to her place to check in a few days ago.
Jiang Yunu: "...Hello to all the seniors who have more or less met me. I am Jiang Yunu."
The self-introduction of the white-haired girl made the school team members who had "checked in" with her smile mysteriously.
The regular members of the school team were all very warm and friendly, and welcomed the reserve students who were able to leave school together to participate in the inter-school competition.
Among the candidates, there was one who was not very friendly - but his unfriendliness was very targeted.
Targeting Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu had just finished introducing himself and sat down when he keenly noticed an unfriendly gaze in the front row.
She looked back in the direction of the gaze and found that the owner of the gaze also had a "semi-familiar face"... However, it seemed that this was not the person who had checked in with her recently, but rather that they had met somewhere in school earlier.
Jiang Yunu thought about it again and again, until the first meeting of the candidate students ended, the other party actually walked directly over the classroom steps and walked towards her.
This person came up and said, "I won't recognize you easily!"
Jiang Yunu: “?”
No, may I ask who you are, classmate?
Jiang Yunu's bewilderment was clearly written on his face, but the visitor seemed unable to read other people's expressions. He immediately said, "It's just an intramural competition. It doesn't mean you are really strong!"
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Hearing this, she suddenly realized that the other party's voice was vaguely familiar. Based on these two familiar sounds and the other party's arrogant tone, Jiang Yunu remembered that she had seen this person in the South Canteen before.
At that time, Joyson was full of trust in Jiang Yunu and thought that Jiang Yunu was very strong. This man passed by their table and heard what the red-haired boy said. He lowered his head to look at Jiang Yunu and then sneered.
Jiang Yunu was very direct at the time and asked people if they were laughing at her.
I remember it now. I remember it all.
Jiang Yunu said, "So you also participated in the school competition, and ranked behind me?"
other side:"……"
