Chapter 263 finally gets to the midterm exams!
The one who becomes the protector?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingni couldn't help but chuckle softly.
It turns out that in the eyes of these superhumans in the school, they really do see themselves as protectors.
Of course, Jiang Xingni cannot deny their identity as protectors, but while they protect ordinary people from the disturbance of monsters, they are also locking ordinary people in the cage they have created.
They confine those they protect within a glass bottle, allowing them only to see what they want to be seen. If someone accidentally breaks free from this system and accidentally sees something they shouldn't, they are subjected to memory erasure and anti-memes. If these processes consume too many resources, they may even be completely eliminated.
Did the superpowered individuals who established this system really treat ordinary people as just like them?
Jiang Xingni curled her lip, not thinking so in her heart.
Her gaze shifted and landed on the podium.
The podium was not much different from what Jiang Xingni had seen in high school; it was still a blackboard, but with a step higher, and a line of small characters placed on the podium.
"The safety of the people in the capital is an important asset that Taixu Academy wants to protect."
……
Jiang Xingni silently withdrew his gaze.
Just then, it was time to announce Jiang Xingni's score.
"Jiang Xingni, 95 points."
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
Shu Yangqiu has always been very strict with her scoring. Over the years, apart from Xiao Jiming, no one else has ever received a score of 90 or higher.
Even Xiao Jiming only got a score of 93 at most!
Jiang Xing glanced at her, wondering what important thing she had done in the dungeon!
"In the dungeon, when Tang Xiaoxing wanted to retreat, you were the first to persuade her to stay, and you turned hostility into friendship, making the two of you teammates who would advance and retreat together."
...Actually, it was just to get some more information out of Tang Xiaoxing before she left; it wasn't out of any kindness to prevent Tang Xiaoxing from withdrawing from the exam.
"When you were both trapped by your initial identities, you realized in time that you could take advantage of the chaos to leave, and then headed straight for your destination without wasting any time along the way, always keeping in mind that your mission objective was to disappear into the meteorite crater."
"You realized in time the impact of disappearing from the public eye on you. You could remind the future you, who has already forgotten all of this, by engraving the information on your wrist. After making a plan, you were clean and efficient, and executed it decisively."
"After encountering the disappearance, you also dealt with it promptly, ending its life with a knife."
"However, you did not find a way to stop the anti-meme's counterattack, and you were unable to stop it from dragging the entire city into hell before it died. Therefore, you have been deducted five points."
This is the highest score they can achieve right now.
Even if Shu Yangqiu were to take the challenge herself, she would only be able to get five points. The remaining tasks would still need to be left to others to solve.
However, Jiang Xingni was unaware of this.
Jiang Xing lowered his head, listened to Shu Yangqiu's words, and nodded seriously.
"If I come up with a way to break this deadlock later, can I come back to you?" Jiang Xing glanced at the floating light panel beside her and noted her name. "Teacher Shu."
Shu Yangqiu nodded.
"sure."
"You passed this quiz, but there are still areas where you need to improve. Come and learn from me." Shu Yangqiu gave a faint smile. "Don't disappoint me. I heard your special ability is something like the Eye of Truth? Well then, from now on, you are forbidden from using your special ability in my classes."
Jiang Xingni accepted the matter quite calmly.
She never intended to use her superpowers to cheat.
Rather than using his special abilities to cheat, Jiang Xingni was more concerned with what he could learn.
If one day her superpowers are banned, and she loses her system and becomes an ordinary person again, what methods should she use to protect herself?
Jiang Xingni knew very well that he could only rely on himself.
*
The pace of classes at Taixu Academy is nothing compared to Jiang Xingni's high school days.
—To be precise, she's not even a minor figure.
Besides the required classes that the entire main group attends every day, each person chooses different elective courses. Jiang Xingni is busy absorbing the knowledge from the courses he has chosen and doesn't pay much attention to what the different people in the main group have experienced.
It wasn't until she heard the comic update notification that Jiang Xingni realized what the main characters had experienced in class again: a compilation of satisfying moments of cannon fodder provoking and getting slapped in the face.
Jiang Xingni wasn't the only one to receive the "protagonist's slap in the face" treatment. From Xiao Jiming to Xie Yungui, from Song Juexiao to Su Yanzhi, everyone went through the process of mindlessly provoking others to prove themselves.
Jiang Xingni can be really strange sometimes.
Xiao Jiming had already experienced these things last semester and proved himself. Did they really think that just because he had a winter break, his strength had regressed and that they could overtake him and defeat him?
The most unreasonable one is Song Juexiao.
Others had only spent a maximum of a year with them, but the students in Taixu Academy now, unless they were later transfer students, had basically been beaten by Song Juexiao since they were young. Just because they couldn't beat him when they were young, did they think they could beat him when they grew up?
Jiang Xingni was too lazy to criticize.
As for Su Yanzhi and Xie Yungui, they had just returned to school, so it's not hard to understand why someone would want to challenge them and determine their ranking within the school.
Half a semester has passed just like that.
The spring breeze dispersed the melting snowflakes on the street, and the green of the treetops gradually deepened, permeating Jiang Xingni's eyes and brows.
The midterm exams have finally arrived.
It wasn't that Jiang Xingni didn't want to enjoy the peace and tranquility of this period.
However, if the main storyline doesn't progress, the comic won't get many updates either. Jiang Xingni won't have much screen time, making it even more difficult for him to increase his popularity and gain a chance to survive.
Now, Jiang Xingni finally sees a glimmer of hope for the main storyline to move forward.
The midterm exam was a large-scale exam, just as Pei Zhaoye had said, a joint exam by the three schools.
This instance was not the small instance that Jiang Xingni had practiced before, which was controlled by Shu Yangqiu alone. Instead, it was supported by the teachers from the three schools.
Jiang Xingni raised his eyes and looked at the light screen in front of him.
The light panel of the Eye of Truth spreads out the entire light screen for analysis.
Jiang Xing glanced at his teammates around him; each of them had a portal similar to a light screen in front of them.
She followed Song Juexiao's steps and stepped into the light screen.
—The midterm exams have officially begun.
