Chapter 80
Is it an enemy attack?!
With the current level of human development, floating cities are basically no longer troubled by any natural disasters, let alone naturally occurring earthquakes.
But at the same time, the Human Superpower Alliance is stable. Although there are occasional conflicts between star regions, they tend to be "peaceful exchanges". Diplomatic politicians will have verbal battles in remote meetings. No place will suddenly slap its head and tear up the alliance agreement, and actually start a war that will harm others and may not necessarily benefit itself.
Therefore, under the above premise, what can be called "enemy attack" generally refers to the beast tide attack of elemental beasts.
...But how could that happen in Monstan?
How could this be possible? This is Monstein! It's the most economically advantageous place in the entire Seventh District, and it also has the best campus defenses!
What kind of beast tide could have passed through the three checkpoints inside and outside the main city, broken through the expensively constructed protective shield of the Songnan School of Supernatural Powers, and penetrated the central teaching area in such a stealthy manner?!
The ground was indeed shaking again. It was like a trampoline, making it difficult to keep steady. Students who had been scattered across the open space practicing their supernatural powers were staggering here and there. Some, with quick eyes and hands, supported themselves with their companions, barely managing to stay steady in the tremor. Others, with less reaction and balance, were thrown sideways by the shaking, colliding with someone else who was also wrestling nearby. The two of them were tangled together, becoming human bowling balls, swept away by the invisible ball, tumbling away together.
The teacher's first reaction was to save the students.
It was instinct. Instinct drove the teacher to grab the student closest to him. Based on the principle of quickly securing as many as possible, the teacher, who was about to come over to give Jiang Yunu guidance, stretched out his arm and put his hand on the white-haired girl's shoulder.
"Don't be dazed!" The anxious teacher saw that the little girl still had her eyes closed and had no idea what was happening around her. She said in a very urgent tone, "Hurry up..."
Jiang Yunu suddenly opened his eyes.
When someone put his shoulder heavily, Jiang Yunu finally regained his awareness of the world around him.
The panicked voices, the feeling of the body shaking as the ground shook, and the shouting so close... they were like water whose transparent gates had finally been opened, and they instantly enveloped Jiang Yunu like a wave.
Jiang Yunu pulled herself away from "herself", her white hair swayed slightly with the vibration of the ground, and her hair covered her eyes.
She blinked slowly behind her hair.
"boom!"
Maybe it's more than just a "boom".
It was a sound that mixed multiple tones at the same time. It came from under the shaking ground and drilled under Jiang Yunu's feet like an underground dragon.
Jiang Yunu felt the ground beneath her feet bounce up, and she stepped on it.
The upward surging force immediately jumped to the side and found another open space that was still very close to Jiang Yunu's feet - and then a huge tree broke out from the ground.
It was a tree that rose from the ground and in a blink of an eye it grew to the height of a three-story building.
It burst through the ground covered in mud. Once it emerged, it grew rapidly, its branches growing from weak to strong, and leaves covering the branches in the blink of an eye.
A big tree.
A huge tree appeared out of nowhere, standing next to Jiang Yunu with vitality.
The teacher, whose hand was still on Jiang Yunu's shoulder: "..."
When the tree was fully grown, the earthquake stopped.
Jiang Yunu looked down at the ground. Part of the roots of the tree were exposed on the surface, lying between the broken tiles with their fangs bared.
The teacher was stunned for about ten seconds, his eyes moving back and forth between the suddenly appeared tree and Jiang Yunu, and finally asked uncertainly: "Did you make this?"
Jiang Yunu said, "No?"
She was very cautious and used a questioning "maybe".
Like a tree trying to return to its origin, with a "pop", the roots crawling on the ground jumped up and grew another section, along the gap exposed by the broken tiles, pressing down on the upper of Jiang Yunu's shoes.
The teacher's gaze followed the roots of the tree: "..."
Jiang Yunu, whose feet were hit by the roots, said: "..."
The teacher confirmed, "It's you."
The students who were staggering around like bowling balls before now stood firm, got up from the ground, and separated from the physical entanglements.
Everyone gathered around to look at the tree.
By the way, watch Jiang Yunu.
There was a hint of green light on the fingertips of Jiang Yunu. It was very inconspicuous. Jiang Yunu herself did not notice it at first. It was not until Zhou Jinxue finally rushed to her side that the senior student ignored the strange tree that appeared out of thin air. She just grabbed the junior student and looked her up and down to confirm whether Jiang Yunu was injured.
During this period, Zhou Jinxue first noticed a hint of green on Jiang Yunu's fingers.
The green light was as thin as a spider silk, and seemed weak and vulnerable at first glance, but if you look along the direction of the green light... it has penetrated into the ground and is probably hooked on the roots of a big tree.
Reiss Daniel and Lucy arrived a quarter of an hour after the incident.
The earthquake triggered the campus alarm of Songnan. The robot guards were dispatched before the teachers. However, because the earthquake stopped abruptly halfway, the robot guards did not detect any signs of threat sources around them. When the teachers arrived at the scene where the floor tiles were broken and a large tree stood prominently, they saw that the robot guards had switched to maintenance worker mode and were cleaning up the broken tiles on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Lucy strode towards her students.
Jiang Yunu said, "Something happened."
Leis Daniel frowned and walked to Jiang Yunu in two or three steps: "Are you injured?"
In the former outdoor teaching area where the ground was in a terrible state, there were several self-service medical machines, and students were queuing up to treat minor abrasions and sprains caused by the chaos.
Jiang Yunu's face was filled with sorrow. "I think I should be held responsible for this chaos, but can I afford the ground maintenance costs and everyone's medical expenses?"
Reiss Daniel: "..."
Lucy: “…”
Zhou Jinxue couldn't bear to see her schoolmate being so cautious and dejected, so she blurted out, "I'll pay."
The senior student spoke in a calm tone and with a firm attitude, both teachers turned their heads to look at her.
Zhou Jinxue is usually a low-key person and never shows off her wealth in school. However, Lu Xixi, who has been with her for a long time, knows that in terms of family conditions, Zhou Jinxue is only better than Xie Shi, the young master Xie who loves dancing more, and not worse.
Lu Xixi's expression was hard to describe. She wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate in this environment. She didn't know whether to lift the corners of her mouth, and finally she just rolled her eyes.
"You're worrying too much," she said. "Is this the kind of thing you need to worry about? They won't go after minors for compensation!"
Jiang Yunu was taken away by her own teachers. Her lunch break was cancelled and Teacher Lei took a short break from the afternoon classes. She was taken directly for a new round of comprehensive examinations.
In the examination room, the doctor in a white coat patiently guided Jiang Yunu: "Try to find the feeling when you released energy this morning, and then inject all your supernatural power into the ball in front of you."
That sphere is a superpower collector that can carry a very high superpower input value. It can also be regarded as a disguised superpower level detector.
Jiang Yunu conjured up a tree out of thin air, causing the supernatural power release course to become earth-shattering. Not only were the people from Songnan asking Reis Daniel and Lucy what level of supernatural power this white-haired girl had, but the heads of the other two friendly schools, Flea and Curl King, were also asking.
However, the answer is that I don’t know.
Upon receiving this answer, the person in charge of Songnan raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "No idea? A student who caused such a commotion was even brought to participate in the joint school competition, and her teacher, who is second only to Engel, actually said he didn't know her ability level?"
The person in charge of the King of Rolls said, "I understand that with the practical competition approaching, everyone might have been thinking about hiding their ace cards. However, with all the commotion that's happened today, the ability level of the 'ace card' isn't exactly a secret that can't be revealed, right?"
The Fleabag leader turned to look at the Roll King leader and said, "Huh? From the tone of voice, you guys are hiding an ace player too?"
Lucy and Reiss Daniel: "..."
The flea teacher is like a flea. What was originally a three-on-one meeting suddenly turned into a quarrel over whether each school had a backup plan and secretly hidden ace students to prepare for a big splash.
Lu Xixi pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "We really don't know the level of her ability. She is a student receiving subsidies. She only has done the city welfare physical examination and knows the attributes of her ability."
The person in charge of the King of Rolls was not quite convinced and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "She's already joined the Engel team, and you didn't use the level tester specifically for her?"
Songnan's teacher nodded in agreement. "For a student with this ability to create something out of thin air, it's well worth opening a separate level tester for her. I believe Engel can afford the expense."
Reiss Daniel gave his signature gentle smile.
"To be honest, everyone," Reisdaniel said, "we didn't even know she had this ability until noon today."
Teacher Lei seemed to be Versailles invisibly, showing off his students in a low-key manner, but it also seemed as if he didn't.
The people of Songnan were wealthy and powerful, and they decided on the spot to open the Songnan grade tester for Jiang Yunu alone.
The ball placed in front of Jiang Yunu, waiting for her to release her supernatural power, is a preliminary test before the level test.
This pre-test was something ResDaniel had requested on her behalf.
"The tree we ate this morning has already consumed your superpowers." Reiss Daniel's hand fell on Jiang Yunu's hair. "Even if you can't release the same amount of superpowers this afternoon, that's normal. We don't have to get the level results today. You have no obligation to satisfy everyone's curiosity."
We are also under no obligation to satisfy the inquiries of teachers from other schools.
Teacher Lei was clearly protecting his own people, and Lu Xixi stayed in the conference room to compete with other school leaders in wits and courage.
Jiang Yunu was a little touched.
Because she was so moved, she felt that she couldn't let the teachers lose face.
Facing the energy storage sphere, Jiang Yunu closed his eyes and re-explored the feeling of finding the energy core in his body, and then tried again to squeeze the "pump" whose outlet was a little difficult to work.
Let's try to make the teachers and the others proud again. Jiang Yunu thought to himself.
Five seconds later, Reiss Daniel's face changed drastically and his figure flew away.
He quickly pushed Jiang Yunu away from the testing table.
The ball exploded on the spot with a deafening sound, and the flying fragments hit the man in the white coat on the forehead.
Jiang Yunu was panicked and rarely acted like a real little girl in front of her teacher.
"Teacher." She grabbed Resdaniel's coat, "Do you want compensation?"
Reiss Daniel: "...It's probably not your turn to pay for this."
