The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 150 Deviation
Nierqi had been paying attention to this student for some time. For no other reason than that she was simply too conspicuous.

Although he had only taken on a temporary assignment and was only staying here for a week, meaning he couldn't teach these children much, he still carefully reviewed all the students' answers, including those of Jiang Hui and Clarence, in order to complete the task properly.

Beska Intermediate Academy uses a tiered class system, with classes numbered higher to indicate higher aptitude. The first, second, and third classes of the Combat Individual Soldier Department already comprised most of the students in the grade with above-average aptitude. Those who could enter these top three classes were naturally exceptionally talented.

Among Class Two, Clarence and Jiang Hui possess the best potential in terms of mental strength. Both are incomplete awakeners who have completed their second awakening and reached the level of A-grade mental strength. If nothing unexpected happens, they will at least reach the A+ level upon full awakening. If such promising talents are properly trained, it's anyone's guess which legion they will end up with in the future.

Of course, this is on the premise that they are all promising talents.

Compared to Clarence, who excels in all aspects and comes from a prominent family, this student Jiang seems relatively mediocre. His physical fitness and constitution levels are relatively low, and it seems that apart from his outstanding mental strength level, he has nothing else to boast about.

However, physical constitution and stamina can be improved gradually. But mental potential cannot be improved easily later in life. The initial gap can last a lifetime, which is why he had some impression of Jiang Hui.

But when he actually started teaching these children, his attention unexpectedly fell more on the latter.

This student, Jiang, gives off a somewhat complicated vibe. She's not as easy to understand as other children her age, or rather, she doesn't seem like a child at all, nor does she seem like an adult.

During his years in the military, Nie Erqi had traveled to many places and met all sorts of people. He had seen his share of steady and reliable young men. But a child is still a child; their core nature remains the same. No matter how fast a person grows, they can never replace the power of time.

Jiang Hui's coldness wasn't a coldness stemming from her personality, because that kind of coldness had warmth to it; it was an outward appearance. But Jiang Hui's coldness was an inner coldness. Even though she outwardly appeared warm, and her personality didn't seem particularly cold, her inner self was cold and hard, with little fluctuation, neither like a child nor an adult... like a wisp of a ghost floating in this mundane shell, not quite human.

She herself might not have realized it, but she stood out like a black owl among a flock of chicks, incredibly conspicuous and clearly different from the others. But those outside could spot her immediately and felt that "it" shouldn't be here, shouldn't be confined to this place; "it" was restricted.

This is why Hess didn't value the impeccable Clarence more, but was instead drawn to Jiang Hui.

But... he probably doesn't have much interaction with this student, right? What brought her here today?

The other party seemed to have been waiting here without saying a word. Stark was taking an unusually long time today for some reason. Although Nie Erqi often appeared cool to outsiders, he was actually a very active person inside.

He couldn't stand the silence. He was curious to see what this kid had to say to him. Thinking about how the kid's shooting had been interrupted earlier that day... he was probably troubled by that kid surnamed He.

He had one more box to seal, so he chatted with Jiang Hui as he sealed it, saying, "You did a good job today."

The girl seemed a little surprised that he had taken the initiative to speak, and was slightly taken aback.

She's finally starting to attract attention; she looks better than during training. Perhaps that was just her focused state? Nie Erqi thought uncertainly. "Although you defeated Na Hesi today, you're still far behind in terms of real skill. You need to practice more diligently to maintain your level."

The child naturally responded without hesitation, showing no sign of resentment or discouragement in his eyes, as if he had already understood this principle through countless trials and tribulations in the mortal world.

Why this reaction again? Nie Erqi hesitated, wanting to say something, but suddenly heard the other person speak first…

“Instructor Nie Erqi, I think there seems to be a problem with the positioning network today.” She hesitated for a moment, but immediately drew Nie Erqi’s attention.

He was puzzled: "What problem?" What could possibly be wrong with a simple positioning network?

In Nielch's mind, problems in life were usually bloody or even fatal. When did a tracking network become something to be described as having problems? Sigh, it seems he's been in this comfortable place for too long. The battlefield suits him better. I don't know how Stark can accept this kind of change.

But since Jiang Hui brought it up, he definitely had to figure it out. He felt that he had gained some "insights" from teaching these past few days.

"That internet seems to be malfunctioning today." The other person's statement seemed to carry a hint of doubt, but their tone was quite certain.

Nie Erqi frowned and asked her which one it was. Jiang Hui pointed to one of them. That was the one Nie Erqi had set up. Of the three positioning nets, two were set up by Stark, and only this one was set up by Nie Erqi.

"Impossible..." Nie Erqi squinted and looked at it, and it seemed that he could indeed see a problem.

He couldn't help but walk over to take a look and found that one of the wedges used to fix it was indeed crooked, slightly crooked, not obvious. But since the entire net was stretched out based on this wedge, there would naturally be a slight deviation, but it was so slight that even Nie Erqi did not notice it.

How did this child discover it? He didn't even get close to look; he just looked and found out! How incredibly sharp must his eyesight be?! The point is, he didn't even notice it when it was set up by himself, even though it was right in front of him... How embarrassing! He's made a fool of himself in front of the younger generation.

Nie Erqi was momentarily speechless. Although he tried his best to suppress the sudden blankness on his face, Jiang Hui's good eyesight still noticed it.

Actually, she noticed something was wrong during the first round of shooting today; she felt the feel was off, but she didn't immediately figure out why. In the following rounds, after slightly adjusting the angle, it was back to normal, and she realized that there was a problem with the positioning net.

She didn't know why she blurted out the question when Nie Erqi asked her. But now she regretted it. What was she doing? Was it necessary to bring up something so pointless? She had offended someone for no reason, and what if she was punished for it?

As it turned out, Nie Erqi wasn't that kind of narrow-minded person. He genuinely felt embarrassed, but he quickly recovered and even asked her with interest how she had figured it out.
