Ch 77: The Great System believes in you

“Bei Meng’s secret? Oh, are those two Shi Juan Shi children with problems, this…”

For the next ten minutes or so, Tao Ge didn’t get a chance to speak.

Awakened early in the morning by a phone call from Pa Hua Luo Di, he hadn’t yet figured out if he had said something he shouldn’t have, and he had already lost the chance to explain.

It was just a casual remark that inexplicably caused the other party’s incessant chatter.

The implication was why such a big matter wasn’t told to him.

He thought today’s Pa Hua Luo Di was a bit absurd.

Pa Hua Luo Di hadn’t asked about this matter either; he didn’t need to report everything to Meng Academy, so why mention it for no reason?

“Director Pa, this does involve the patient’s privacy after all, I can’t just go around saying it.”

Taking advantage of the other party’s pause for breath, he inserted an explanation.

“You mean the problem with this matter is me?”

Tao Ge: ?

What else could it be?

“Why tell you? Are you skilled in Shi Juan Shi-related treatment?” Not only Tao Ge was woken up early in the morning; Liang Jingjing, also one of the heads of Kua Te Nuo, always spoke frankly and wouldn’t be as tactful and polite as Tao Ge.

Usually, Tao Ge would say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but he really didn’t have the patience today.

With some difficulty, he straightened out his thoughts, rubbing his somewhat aching temples: “Professor A Lu Ai Ta told you about this?”

“How did you know?”

“Did she use this as bait to get you to do something for her?”

“You conspired to plot against me?”

Tao Ge：……

He now wanted to end this call directly.

“Director Pa, you see how good our relationship is, right? How could I possibly conspire with her to plot against you?”

“That’s true.” After correcting test papers all night, the content was the History of Magic, which he hadn’t touched since graduation. His almost rusty brain started working after his emotions calmed down. Looking up at the clock on the wall, Pa Hua Luo Di realized he had misread the time.

Oh, he meant that Tao Ge seemed a little impatient today, and Liang Jingjing’s tone was also more forceful than usual.

His guilt showed on his face for a moment.

Fortunately, Da Tiantian wasn’t around, and Liang Jingjing also needed to catch up on sleep. After confirming that there was nothing important, she said a word and left.

Only he and Tao Ge were on the call, and no one would jump up and scold him.

More than two people were inexplicably woken up this morning.

“What are you doing?” The sound of stones hitting the window kept coming all morning, Rui Bu Si and Ya Ya were forced to get out of bed early during the holiday, opening the curtains to look at Jian Ni and Lan Bao standing outside the building. Neither of them looked happy.

Jian Ni didn’t say anything, gesturing for them to come down and talk.

—Wu Ke Na Na, living downstairs from Rui Bu Si and the others, was looking at him impatiently through the window at this moment.

“You better have something important.” Yawning and going downstairs, Jian Ni and the others had already gone to the dormitory building entrance. Ya Ya refused to get up; only Rui Bu Si came downstairs.

Jian Ni looked anxious: “Didn’t Ya Ya say before that the Magic Proficiency Exam would be held soon after the test?”

“Mm.” Rui Bu Si responded.

Isn’t there still some time? What’s the rush?

🟡Ding ding ding, your task has been triggered, please be sure to pass the Meng Academy Magic Proficiency Exam~, the magic will be upgraded after completing the task~, the Great System believes in you, master~🟨

…Even the sleepiest person would wake up at this moment.

Such strange and absurd language, as if infected by some strange virus, made her momentarily yearn for Biscuit.

“Don’t you think your task isn’t like defeating the Dark Great Emperor?”

🟡What do you think it’s like, master~🟨

“It’s like cultivating a good student.”

Rui Bu Si didn’t think her magic needed any training.

After all, summoning the Wooden Fish wasn’t her magic, and it wouldn’t get stronger because of her training, nor weaker without it.

Speaking of which, it doesn’t really matter whether this magic is strong or weak, right?

So what’s the point of upgrading?

Add ten Merit points for each strike?

This was the most useful effect she could think of.

In the end, she went to the training ground with Jian Ni and Lan Bao.

The intention was to see how far the two Meng Knights’ magic had progressed.

Mmm…it was the level she could easily kill when she wasn’t as weak as she is now.

Better not to look.

“The Magic Proficiency Exam has always had unpredictable forms. Besides practicing magic, shouldn’t we consider other directions?” She yawned.

She didn’t need Merit points now, and had no motivation to strike the Wooden Fish.

“Consider what direction?” Lan Bao’s magic couldn’t just be practiced on a target. The way to practice magic is to wait for Jian Ni to get tired or injured, heal Jian Ni, and then attack the target through the reverse transformation of transferring magic.

Therefore, only Jian Ni was practicing magic at the training ground at this moment, and Lan Bao was chatting with Rui Bu Si on the side.

“I don’t know.” Having been used to someone else’s help during exams, she didn’t want to use her brain at all for studying, “I’ll ask Mi Ya Xing later.”

“Then I’ll go with Jian Ni to ask Wu Ke Na Na, or Wu La La.”

Neither of them realized that changing their inquiry target would be more convenient.

Lan Bao was somewhat afraid of entering Mi Ya Xing’s dormitory because of school matters, and also because she was almost tricked into Mi Ya Xing’s dormitory again yesterday, and was afraid of being alone with Mi Ya Xing.

Rui Bu Si didn’t want to have too much contact with Naiya.

She didn’t want to get close to the fierce Naiya.

However, before they could ask, they received some bad news.

The next day before class, Lan Bao was talking about the content of her nightmare last night when she unexpectedly learned from Piao A Piao that the Magic Proficiency Exam might be brought forward.

The following day, this news was confirmed by Director Pa.

“Don’t you think the new Teacher Gu La Ke looks like the terrifying vampire you described in your dream?”

Mi Ya Xing went to the Campus Summit and told her before leaving that the exam was simple and she didn’t need to worry too much.

The Star of Wisdom, who grew up in Meng Academy, said so. Because of the trust derived from exam results, Rui Bu Si instantly threw this matter, along with the must-pass task, to the back of her mind.

Instead, she focused on Lan Bao’s strange dream.

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s what I asked Jian Ni yesterday! But Jian Ni said I was overthinking it.”

It’s great to have someone who feels the same way!
