The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 183: Resentment
"Hey, where are we now?"

Stark was quietly watching the students' performances on the big screen when he suddenly heard a voice that was all too familiar.

He's the only one who talks too much.

Stark didn't even blink as he calmly said, "Didn't you go back?"

“Go back? What… After yesterday’s commotion, not only can I not go back, but they’re also sending people over to investigate. The hospital doesn’t need me, so I might as well come out for a stroll to avoid causing trouble.” Although Nie Erqi spoke casually, Stark still gleaned some important information from the other’s veiled words.

It seems yesterday's events were quite significant, alarming even the highest levels of power, and the hospital is currently in chaos. Given the disastrous outcome, it's likely that even the capital won't be able to maintain order...

In a split second, many thoughts had already flashed through Stark's mind, but his expression remained unchanged.

Nie Erqi seemed unwilling to continue the topic. He glanced at the large screen in the center, looking up from the bottom, and finally saw the name at the very top. His eyebrows twitched involuntarily: "What happened while I was gone for half a day?" Is this kid really that fierce?

Nie Erqi had taught Class Two for a whole week, so he had naturally seen some of Jiang Hui's abilities. As far as he knew, the boy was indeed quite talented, calm, and capable of great things, but his abilities and qualities in all aspects were currently limited, with shooting being his only slightly better skill.

He only missed one day of watching, so how did this kid manage to pull ahead by a wide margin? That seems a bit unreasonable. Even if he really liked Jiang's kid, things have to follow the natural course of events!

With a score of 342.3333..., he ranked first in military-related majors, more than 100 points higher than the second-place student with 231 points.

Even if Nie Erqi didn't understand the school's grading standards, or even the details of what happened, judging solely from the scores, it was an overwhelming victory. Even if they didn't compete for first place, Jiang Hui's score would likely secure him a top ranking.

"Of course, isn't he the pre-selected number one? This person got nearly 200 points before the official start of school, which is unprecedented." A voice that seemed to be deliberately raised sounded from behind, making people feel quite uncomfortable.

Stark didn't even need to turn around to know who was speaking. It seems that his injury couldn't stop him at all; he even had time to squeeze in with the younger generation.

"Oh dear, who is it? It's Captain Zou. My apologies... Your words sound like you've swallowed a whole bottle of vinegar, a bit sour. Are you just regretting that the one who received those 200 compensation points wasn't one of your students?"

Stark is a man who doesn't like to argue, and often doesn't even bother to participate in these pointless quarrels. But Nielch is not someone to be trifled with. Although he has cultivated a more restrained and composed demeanor over the years, giving everyone who meets him for the first time the wrong impression, he is still fiercely individualistic at heart.

This guy's attitude was one thing, but his sarcastic tone added to it, as if being a captain was no big deal. He didn't even know how to watch his mouth when talking to a child, relentlessly gossiping about them. Stark could tolerate it, but he couldn't. How could he not give him a piece of his mind if he didn't provoke him?

"Who are you? Even if my status in the military is insignificant, I am still a captain. By what right do you speak to me like this?" Zou Yi did not recognize Nie Erqi, but seeing that he was close to Stark, he naturally categorized him as one of them, and retorted with a cold smile.

"Oh, so you still remember your status here. Even though Jiang Hui isn't your student, there's no need to slander her like this. You must have a black heart." Nie Erqi grew angrier as he spoke; how could this person be so foul-mouthed? If this got out to someone with ulterior motives, things wouldn't be so simple. He only just learned about the compensation points; even if he didn't quite understand what had happened, the school giving Jiang Hui those 200 personal points must have a reason. And regardless of the reason, what was displayed on the big screen today represented the school's stance.

Jiang Hui's so-called 200 compensation points, or rather, the bright red 342.3333 points on the screen, are truly rightfully his, without any exaggeration.

What is Captain Zou's true intention in making these public statements?

Instructor Tan rubbed his forehead. Oh well, another argument. He was just wondering why Captain Zou was absent, and now he's causing trouble, and he's even picking on Captain Stark's student… Why is he so obsessed with Stark?

According to his past balancing strategy, he should have let Zou argue a bit more before resolving the issue. But Nie Erqi's words woke him up, and he immediately interrupted their conversation, saying to Zou Yi in a rather stern tone, "Captain Zou, please watch your words. Every student's individual points are reviewed through the school's procedures. You know what these so-called compensation points are all about. I remember you voted in favor back then, so why are you saying something different now?"

They all knew what was going on, but Zou Yi's explanation completely changed the meaning. What if someone with ulterior motives spread the word and caused a stir? Would this child ever be able to face anyone again? Even someone as good-natured as Teacher Tan couldn't help but get a little angry.

He knew that Jiang Hui's performance had probably offended Zou Yi, since without the compensation points, his class would be in first place right now.

The other party probably didn't object at the time because they didn't expect Jiang Hui to be so good at fighting. They thought that even if he got nearly 200 compensation points, he would probably be left behind later because he couldn't keep up with the score.

The results, now with nearly 200 points added, are in. Jiang Hui continues to score, and even if Holly is incredibly skilled, catching up with such a large total score gap will be difficult. How could Zou Yi, who arrived injured, possibly swallow this insult?

Seeing that the other party did not immediately refute, Instructor Tan was about to say something, but then he saw that Zou Yi, whom he hadn't seen for only a day, had bloodshot eyes but a face as pale as paper. There was also a very deep scar running down his right cheek, as if it had been cut through by an extremely sharp object. Even after a night of treatment with special equipment, a very obvious red mark was still left on his face.

Is it an injury... or something that triggered it?

Teacher Tan couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say.

The other person's facial muscles twitched a few times, and it was unclear whether they had heard him or not. In the end, they didn't say anything more, but simply found a seat and sat down to watch the game.

The controversy thus subsided without attracting much attention.

However, this time the teaching staff for the first-year combat individual training class of 89983 is completely complete, and now it's up to the students to show their talents.
