Chapter 085 Chapter 85
The flow of time in the mental picture is different from that in the outside world.
Generally speaking, it will be faster than in reality.
The few times she had entered before, several days had passed in her mental image, but only a few hours had passed in reality.
This was the first time she encountered such an unstable and uneven flow of time.
In her own mind, the time she spent reading was no more than thirty minutes to an hour.
But when she looked up, more than ten hours had disappeared.
This is simply unbelievable.
So…whose mental picture is this?
Why does this problem of unstable time flow occur?
Anxiety disorder?
Paranoia?
Or is it a symptom of some disease?
Xia Meng quickly calmed down.
Perhaps it was because she had seen all kinds of strange sights in recent times, so she was not too shocked by the mere speed of time.
She nodded at Maisie without changing her expression.
I casually asked, "Do I need to bring any textbooks to the first day of class?"
There were at least a dozen textbooks piled on the table, and it was obviously not suitable to carry them all to class.
Mai Xi shrugged and said, "Have you forgotten what happened in the cafeteria last night?"
Xia Meng sighed secretly.
Isn’t it just that I forgot!
canteen……
Didn’t you just make an appointment with Aunt Rebecca to meet there?
What else happened?
It was just right. Since Mai Xi brought it up herself, she could dig deeper into the topic and find out the truth.
So, Xia Meng deliberately showed a slightly hesitant and timid expression: "I remember, but... I'm a little hesitant."
Maxi immediately reacted, looking understanding, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid! Hermann lets you attend eighth grade classes because he values you! He must have chosen you to be his partner, so he lets you attend classes with him! You have to believe in yourself! You're an S-level guide!"
With just a few words, Xia Meng could almost guess what happened during the half day when she lost her memory.
I actually ran into Hermann.
Xia Meng asked hesitantly, "I don't understand. If he tells me to go, can I just go? Aunt Rebecca clearly told me to go to the sixth grade."
Maxie didn't hear the deliberate probing in her words at all, and answered as a matter of course, "Did you forget? It was Aunt Rebecca who strongly recommended you to Herman last night. Herman also said at the time that if you wanted to be his partner, you had to at least keep up with him. Aunt Rebecca suggested that you start directly in eighth grade, and she would help you catch up on the courses you missed."
Mai Xi then added, remembering something, "Oh, right, new transfers have to take a proficiency test on their first day of class. You'll probably have to take one today, too. Don't worry, you're new here and skipped a grade, so even if you don't perform well, it's understandable."
Xia Meng: “…”
Okay, another exam is here.
I hope this proficiency test won’t be like the collective mushroom poisoning incident at the affiliated high school before, where we have to take it with all our might.
Xia Meng simply didn't take anything with her and just closed the door.
Maixi took her to the teaching building.
Early in the morning, all the children were heading to the classroom.
Xia Meng walked among them wearing the uniform she had just received yesterday, and many people noticed the S on her collar at a glance.
The whole way was filled with buzzing discussions.
"who is she?"
"Oh my god! An S-class wizard!"
"I thought I'd finally have the chance to become Herman's partner this year! It's over, it's over, I have no chance!"
"You? Haha, don't dream! No matter who Herman chooses, it won't be your turn!"
"That's right! Is Hermann something you can imagine?"
"Let's be realistic. You see, only S-rank are qualified to be his partner."
Xia Meng listened the whole time.
She had just arrived here.
But it seemed as if everyone here had firmly believed that she would definitely be Herman's partner.
Xia Meng thought they were too naive.
Do they think so?
Herman and Rebecca said yes, right?
It's hard to perform well, but isn't it easy to perform badly?
With her ability to sneak around and dodge under Lao Wang's command.
It's just an eighth-grade proficiency test. If you want to control the score, isn't it easy?
Acting is a compulsory course for good students.
Not to mention flying low, even if she scored in the single digits, she could perfectly put on a simple, innocent and tearful face, and sincerely make the teacher believe that it really wasn't her fault.
What could she do wrong as a little girl?
In the blink of an eye, the two of them went upstairs.
Mai Xi stood at the stairs, pointed to the floor above, and said to her: "The eighth grade class is upstairs. You will see it when you go up."
Xia Meng nodded and was about to go upstairs when Mai Xi suddenly grabbed her sleeve.
Mai Xi was obviously still a little worried about her, and she earnestly reminded her, "During the test later, if you don't understand the questions, just choose C! Based on my personal experience, this way you can get at least half of the answers right!"
Xia Meng: "..." Thank you.
She nodded seriously, as if she would definitely do as she was told: "Okay! Don't worry!"
That being said, Xia Meng naturally couldn't do it.
How can I choose C for all of them?
The teacher knew at a glance that she did it on purpose.
Doing so is too suspicious.
In terms of superb acting skills, of course she has to accurately avoid the correct answer while making the teacher feel that she has tried her best.
Xia Meng turned around and continued to walk up the stairs.
Going up to the fifth floor, she looked around.
Many students are already on this floor, standing in the corridor in groups of three or four waiting for class to start.
Looking around, the eighth-grade students obviously looked much older, at least fifteen years old.
Xia Meng, with the body of a little over ten years old, was obviously much shorter than them.
As she appeared, these senior students turned their heads and looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.
That low, unceremonious murmur reappeared.
It's just that this time it's more blatant and more unscrupulous.
He criticized her right in front of her without even hiding it.
"Is that her?"
"Such a young child? Is Rebecca kidding?"
"Hermann, what's wrong with you? Why choose a child?"
"Who knows? No one knows what Herman is thinking."
"I want to see what this kid is capable of."
"Are you kidding me? Do you really think anyone can be Herman's partner?"
It was obvious that the senior students were not very impressed by her S-class status.
If the students downstairs were more curious about her, then the group of students on the fifth floor were more hostile towards her.
If it were any other time, Xia Meng would probably just pretend she heard nothing.
But at this moment, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at those people.
His eyes were unbiased and looked back at them steadily.
Those people didn't seem to expect that a little girl who was only about ten years old would dare to look back at them.
Their eyes met, and Xia Meng kept looking at them steadily.
Instead, the senior students were the first to avoid the sight guiltily.
In terms of aura and determination, these teenage boys are really no match for Xia Meng.
Then, she looked away as if nothing had happened.
She went to the classroom that Maihi had mentioned.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she realized that it was very different from ordinary school classrooms.
This classroom was a little bigger than the ones she remembered being used for large classes in college.
The middle was empty, and a dozen sets of tables and chairs were crowded at the back of the classroom like decorations.
The walls are covered with all kinds of traces.
At first glance, it looked like it had been hit by something sharp, burned by fire, flooded by water, or even cut by something unknown... The wall was covered with scars, and some places were even covered with a layer of cement to cover up the scars.
When Xia Meng went upstairs, the class bell had just rang.
When she stood at the door of the classroom, she found that the classroom was empty and there was no one there.
Xia Meng subconsciously looked up and reconfirmed the classroom door number.
It was indeed an eighth grade class.
Where are the people?
Just as she was wondering, a deep voice suddenly came from behind her: "Move aside."
Xia Meng turned her head and was caught off guard by a pair of familiar eyes.
The gorgeous blond boy was standing behind her, staring down at her.
Xia Meng was stunned for a moment.
It's Hermann.
This was the first time she had looked face to face with the young Hermann at such close range.
Xia Meng recognized him at a glance.
He hasn't changed much since he was in his thirties.
He was only fifteen years old at the time, and there was already the arrogance and contempt in his eyes that Xia Meng had seen before.
But he is different from before.
At that time, his eyes were full of eager desire when he looked at her, as if he had regarded her as his own property and accessory.
And now the boy looked at her as if he was looking at an insignificant stranger.
Xia Meng even noticed that he frowned slightly, and the look he gave her was not friendly, and even had a bit of scrutiny and disgust.
At this time, Herman lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said coldly: "I don't ask much of my partners. Just keep up with my pace and cooperate with me quietly. Rebecca said you are very smart, you'd better not let me down."
Xia Meng raised her eyebrows.
Sure enough, her feeling yesterday was not wrong.
This kid was so annoying even when he was a child.
There was no way Xia Meng would let him gain the upper hand verbally, so she opened her mouth to retort.
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared behind Hermann. He was a man wearing glasses and looked to be in his forties. He seemed to be their class teacher.
The head teacher looked at the two of them, then glanced back into the classroom and nodded with satisfaction: "Ah, you're all here!"
What did Xia Mengxin say meant “everything” was here?
Are these two people all here?
As a result, when I turned around, I found that several people had appeared in the originally empty classroom.
There were even two of them half-squatting on the windowsill, as if they had just climbed in from outside.
Judging from their attire, they are all sentinels, with A's on their collars.
Wait, this is the fifth floor, right?
Climb up the five floors directly?
The teacher was obviously used to it, and casually scolded them, "Can you guys please use the stairs? It's not nice to climb through the window all day long!"
These teenagers didn't take it seriously and focused their attention on Xia Meng with a smile.
Compared to the attitudes of those people outside, the classmates in the class seem more polite.
They didn't say anything, just looked at her curiously.
The head teacher waved Xia Meng over and took out a test paper.
Xia Meng took the paper and glanced at it.
As expected, the baseline test is a test of directional knowledge.
Xia Meng had seen most of the exam content in the textbooks she read yesterday. The remaining content was a bit difficult and complicated, but she knew the answers.
It's very simple and a piece of cake.
It is not a problem for Xia Meng to get full marks.
The students who were watching the show also came over to take a look and exclaimed, "Teacher! Isn't this test too difficult? I don't understand many of the questions. Are you trying to scare our new little sister away?"
The head teacher coughed and said to Xia Meng soothingly, "This paper is a bit difficult, but don't worry. Just answer as many as you can. The teacher just wants to test your level."
This test paper is extremely difficult for a teenager, but it is nothing for her, a master's student.
Besides, she had already made up for it when she first joined the Black Tower.
But Xia Meng responded with an embarrassed expression in time.
The performance begins now.
Herman said he hoped she wouldn't let him down.
Tsk tsk.
Unfortunately, he lost his hope!
The head teacher went to the back of the classroom and moved a set of tables and chairs to the side of the podium, indicating that she could start doing the exercises now.
While she was doing her homework, the others started their classes.
Xia Meng lowered her eyes and did the questions.
I scanned the test paper and quickly thought about which questions I should answer incorrectly, which questions I should leave blank, and how much score I should keep.
Um……
You got a quarter of the multiple-choice questions right?
Just answer half of the short-answer questions and leave half blank, right?
Just make two-thirds of the answer wrong.
For a test with a full score of 100, it should be enough to control the score to 10 points.
This is a reasonable and expected score.
How could a child of ten years old know these things?
It’s better to just send her back to her fifth grade, as far away from Hermann as possible!
Thinking of this, she gripped the pen and was about to start writing.
At a certain moment, she felt that her vision suddenly became blurred.
My eyes were blurry for a moment.
Xia Meng blinked hard, thinking that something was wrong with her. But when she looked at the paper in front of her again, she found that the originally blank paper was already filled with answers.
Judging from the handwriting, it's her own.
Xia Meng was stunned. Before she could react to what had happened, the head teacher raised his hand and took away her paper, saying, "Time is almost up. It doesn't matter. If you can't answer it, it's okay—"
The head teacher's voice was interrupted when he saw her paper clearly.
He looked at her in surprise, raised his hand, took out his red grading pen, and began to correct it quickly.
Then, Xia Meng watched the head teacher quickly making circles on the test paper.
One, two, three... Every question was circled on both sides.
Almost every time she corrected a few questions, the head teacher would look at her in surprise.
It was not until just two or three minutes later that he circled the last question.
At this time, the head teacher's face was filled with surprise and joy that could no longer be concealed.
He gave Xia Meng a thumbs-up and said with admiration, "That's amazing! I didn't expect you to get all the answers right!"
Xia Meng: “…………”
It's over, she herself didn't expect it.
All the acting skills I had honed over the years were of no use at all.
unwise.
