Leo's seat was relatively far back. Linda could only catch a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye. When she learned that Leo was currently ranked first on the Newcomer Ranking List, she suddenly perked up again, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope!
From the start of the game when new players were being drawn in, within a period of up to three months, the number of players joining could reach hundreds of thousands or even millions! Someone who could rise to the top among all these people couldn't possibly rely solely on luck! He must possess abilities that ordinary people didn't have.
However, seeing Leo idly tossing an eraser out of the corner of her eye made Linda feel uneasy again. Could this guy... not even know high school math?
She looked down at her own test paper. It was a set of quadratic equations in one variable, and they were multiple-choice questions. They couldn't be simpler. Did he really need to toss an eraser to decide on the answers for such questions? She began to doubt Leo's intelligence.
Suddenly, the female teacher's voice came from the podium. "Stop looking around!"
In an instant, a bone-chilling chill enveloped all the students present! The female teacher stood up. A sense of oppressive force descended, and all the students sat up straight, looking solemn. Leo also stopped tossing the eraser in his hand. He started counting with his fingers seriously. One times one is one, one times two is two, three times seven is twenty-four, four times six is twenty-eight...
Soon, he finished all the questions on the test paper. It went unexpectedly smoothly.
The female teacher then walked down from the podium with her hands behind her back and began to patrol, starting from the first seat on the right. Invigilation... it was a common thing. What wasn't common was that she was holding an axe stained with blood and flesh in her hand!
When she passed by Zhentao, she stopped. The shadow of the axe fell right on Zhentao's test paper! Zhentao kept his head down, his right hand gripping the pen tightly, and cold sweat poured down his face!
At this moment, he didn't dare to look up. His heart was almost leaping out of his throat! Had he... sat in the wrong seat? It couldn't be! The only blue stationery bag in the vicinity was his...
Please...
Please...
Don't kill me!
He howled in his heart, and it was as if his soul had left his body. At this moment, his mental power was draining away at a rate of two or three points per second! Soon, it dropped below 70!
In Linda's live streaming room:
"Zhentao is done for. If this keeps up, he probably won't even make it through the first day."
"Most newbies are like this. Even the goddess Linda's mental power is starting to decline... Sigh, I'm worried about my goddess!"
"Damn, is that Leo a monster? His mental power is as stable as an old dog's, and it's still at 101!"
"I admire Leo's mental fortitude! But his math... I'm speechless!"
"Haha, I just came from Leo's live streaming room. I took a look at his test paper, and not a single question is correct!"
...
Zhentao's mental power kept dropping, and soon it fell below 50! At this point, he was already in a semi-comatose state. And the female teacher, who had been standing beside him, had moved out of his range. Zhentao simply collapsed onto the desk, his eyes vacant.
Then, she stopped beside Leo. The familiar sense of oppression came over him again. Moreover, Leo clearly felt a hint of murderous intent.
He looked up. He met the gaze of the female ghost. The ferocity in her eyes was blocked by a layer of grayish haze. Even though it was filled with a great deal of malice, she still remained neutral.
Leo guessed that it was the rules at work. Even though the female ghost really wanted to kill him, as long as Leo didn't trigger the condition for the female ghost to kill, she couldn't take action. In a way, the female ghost was actually the safest ghost in this classroom.
But just because it was safe now didn't mean it would be safe in the future. Leo touched the Blood-Stained Scalpel in his hand. Then he put it away. He wasn't sure if he could kill this female ghost yet, so he decided to hold back for now.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"This is an exam!"
"Hurry up and do your questions!"
The female ghost held the axe and stared intently at Leo. There was a fierce murderous intent in her words!
Whether it was the viewers in Linda's live streaming room or those in Leo's live streaming room, their hearts seemed to be in their throats at this moment! The female ghost's facial expressions were becoming more and more exaggerated!
But Leo still stared back at the female ghost and made a clicking sound with his tongue.
The female ghost moved her face closer and said viciously, "What are you looking at?"
"Is there something on my face?"
Leo replied, "No, I just think you're quite pretty, teacher. Just now, I met a female ghost who was pushed off the building and fell to her death. Her face was all mangled, and she had the nerve to appear in front of me, leaving a huge trauma in my young heart!"
Upon hearing Leo praise her for being pretty, the female teacher's facial expressions suddenly returned to their most exaggerated state, and she showed an expression of surprise and shyness.
"Really? Is the teacher really that pretty?"
"No! This is exam time! Stop trying to butter me up! Hurry up and do your questions!"
She put one hand on Leo's head and forced him to look at the test paper. Her pale hand was very cold, but it really didn't hurt Leo.
However, the student sitting in front of Leo wasn't so lucky. He had been afraid from the very beginning. And now, his body was shaking like a leaf. When the female ghost teacher passed by him, she raised the axe in her hand for the first time!
"No... teacher... give me another chance... please!"
"I promise... I promise I'll never do it again next time..."
He suddenly knelt on the ground, grabbed the female teacher's leg, and burst into tears. His words stopped at the crucial moment. The female ghost's axe had already swung down!
Splatter! Blood flew everywhere! A round head rolled to Leo's feet. The eyes were wide open, looking at Leo with unwillingness and venom.
The human and the ghost stared at each other for a few seconds. Leo slowly extended his leg.
Bang! He kicked the ghost head away. By chance, it landed on Zhentao's desk! Zhentao had just endured the fear from the female teacher and had barely recovered. When he looked up, he saw a bloody head staring right at him...
His eyes rolled back, and he fainted again. He foamed at the mouth.
Everyone in the classroom stared at Leo in unison, and the atmosphere was rather eerie.
Live Streaming Barrage:
"LOL, everyone else is showing off, but only Zhentao is getting beaten up!"
"Zhentao: Do you have any manners?"
"Luckily Zhentao fainted. Otherwise, if his mental power kept dropping, he might not even have a chance to die and would just turn into a dungeon monster!"
...
The female ghost held the blood-stained axe and turned around to stare coldly at Leo. The latter didn't hesitate and handed his test paper to her.
"Ms. Li, I've finished."
The female ghost took the test paper Leo handed over, glanced at it, and said coldly, "Scram!"
"If you disrupt the exam discipline again, I'll cancel your exam qualification!"
Leo grinned. "Okay!"
He scurried out of the classroom happily. As soon as he was out of the classroom, the smile on Leo's face disappeared. His eyes sparkled.
"I think I've got a rough idea now."
