The next day.
Su Zi woke up early in the morning.
She had never been to school on time before. Not only did she come today, but she even came a lot earlier.
The students passing by were very surprised.
They looked over with puzzled looks.
Since when did Beauty Su become so diligent?
A few boys stopped by the side of the road, chatting about the news they saw on the school forum while secretly peeking at Su Zi.
They all felt that Su Zi's spirit today was a little worse than before.
Logically speaking, even if a martial artist was sick, one should not be like this.
Su Zi was probably tormented by her boyfriend at night...
Everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.
After that...
They saw Su Zi walking toward them.
"F*ck!"
"Did Beauty Su hear us…?"
"F*ck. Run? It might not be too late to leave now!"
"Why are you running? Just admit your mistake later... When did the little devil take revenge overnight…?"
"Ah... How unlucky..."
The few of them were dispirited.
Who knew, Su Zi stood 2 meters away from them.
The expected questioning and criticism did not come.
Instead, they heard Beauty Su ask in her clear and sweet voice, which was also a little hoarse.
"Do you know where Lin Bai is?"
The boys looked at each other in confusion.
Nevertheless, they quickly realized that she was not here to cause them trouble.
"I've never heard of this name... I don't think he's from the First Academy ..."
One of the boys gathered his courage and spoke.
The boy next to him was puzzled.
Su Zi had always been cold and aloof. She would never take the initiative to talk to boys, let alone care about where they were going.
When people hit on her, she would just look at them coldly and not say a word.
Now, not only was she asking the boys questions because of Lin Bai, but she also seemed to be... Troubled!
'Could it be…? Was the rumor on the school forum yesterday true?'
'Are they really a couple?'
'Is Beauty Su troubled because she can't find her sweetheart?'
'F*ck!'
'This is huge!'
'This is breaking news!'
The boys felt like they had discovered a new world!
Su Zi did not get her answer, so she left.
After walking for a while, she clenched her fists again in silence at a place where no one could see her.
"D*mn it, he's from another academy!
"I'm so angry!"
Su Zi was sulking again, her chest heaving.
'How am I going to take revenge on that b*stard?
'I can't even find him!
'Wait... There's still a way!'
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
Soon, the joint mock exam between the five academies would begin.
From the First Academy to the Fifth Academy, the qualified students would gather to take the test.
It would be a great opportunity!
"Hmph, hmph!
"Lin Bai, you'd better not be chosen!
"Otherwise, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"
Even though Su Zi said that, she could not wait for Lin Bai to appear in front of her.
In fact, she was already thinking of ways to make fun of him.
...
In the Fifth Academy, with the urgent ringing of the class bell, the students did not run to the classroom, which was rare. Instead, they went to the field. Under the guidance of the teachers, they formed a square formation according to their classes.
There was another big group event.
Lin Bai and Xu Kun stood side by side. The former looked serious while the latter was distracted.
After a while, Xu Kun yawned.
He complained, "It's almost time for the big exam. Why aren't they letting us study in the classroom? They're going to give us a useless lecture again? I'm so done."
Lin Bai glanced at him. "When did you read in the classroom?"
"Hehe, it's the same."
Xu Kun put his hands behind his head casually and stretched his shoulders. "Textbooks are books, and extracurricular books are also books. Isn't reading to gain knowledge?"
Lin Bai was unable to refute what he said.
At this moment, an old teacher with presbyopic glasses walked up to the podium. He coughed lightly and began to lecture.
Xu Kun rolled his eyes. "Look, it's this kind of boring talk again. There's no leader here, so what's the use of telling us? "
"That's not entirely true."
Lin Bai shook his head gently. "The more serious the matter is, the bigger the announcement. Let's continue listening."
"Listen on my behalf. I'll play with my phone for a while."
"..."
Lin Bai had gotten used to his good brother's daily routine.
However, Xu Kun was telling the truth.
Before the school leaders announced the official business, they always had to give a speech to stir up the students' emotions.
Even so, they had overlooked one thing.
The difference between their generations!
Boring speeches might only have the opposite effect of 'torturing' impetuous young people.
Young people preferred to be straightforward and do things in the simplest way.
After a while, the long-winded talk finally ended, and the old teacher finally spoke about the purpose of gathering the entire school.
Selection!
Among the students, they would find those who were qualified to take the joint mock exam!
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Even Xu Kun could not help but raise his head.
"D*mn, it's a joint mock exam between the five academies! If one shines during the assessment and returns with good results, one will definitely be showered with all sorts of honors!"
Xu Kun's eyes lit up. "Wouldn't all the girls in the school look at me in a new light when that happens?"
Lin Bai could not help but facepalm.
As expected, his good brother would never let him down.
He would associate everything he did with women.
Xu Kun's words were crude, but his reasoning was not.
There was nothing wrong with what he said.
This was a grand event that all the high school students in the city were looking forward to.
As long as one's results were outstanding, one would have the chance to join the Elite Special Training Base and receive training on a deeper level.
By that time, not to mention that the girls would be impressed.
Even the teachers, the principal, and the city's political leaders would pay special attention to you!
That place was the cradle for shaping top students, and there were countless precious resources there.
As long as one had needs, one could just raise them, and the staff there would do their best to help one complete them!
Even if one wanted to find a partner, they could introduce one to very good resources.
Of course, whether it would work or not depended on one's ability.
Everyone was looking forward to the many benefits.
Lin Bai looked around.
Everyone's mood was stirred up.
The announcement was even more effective than the speech in the first 10 minutes.
However, participating in the joint mock exam was a matter for later.
Now, they still had to work hard to qualify for the mock exam.
The school quickly ordered someone to bring in a machine.
After testing and confirming that there were no errors, the older teacher continued.
"Do you see the yellow bar on the meter?
"If you exceed the baseline, you can be the school's seeded player and participate in the mock exam.
"The school doesn't require all of you to take the test. As long as you want to take the joint examination, you can come forward and hit the machine with your fist to test your fist power.
"The quota is limited, so first come, first served. The tutor will record your data and names. Now...
"The assessment begins!"
