The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 386 Bonus
The group wasn't particularly gossipy, and they didn't pry too much into other people's private affairs. After all, everyone has their own choices, and even friends have no right to interfere too much.

However, Jiang Hui has been acting a bit strangely lately, which is why her friends noticed.

Although Hillman made it sound so easy, he had actually been observing for several days and noticed something was really amiss before he came looking for people.

Since enrolling in school, Jiang Hui's life has been very regular, consisting of either the classroom, the library, or the dormitory—a life completely confined to these three points.

Hillman was in the same major as her, and their classrooms were only on two floors, so he was the one most likely to run into Jiang Hui among them.

Although the two were good friends, they didn't hang out together often, since they were students in different classes with different schedules.

He often ran into Jiang Hui on the road, and sometimes they might even meet in the same classroom where students from two different classes were changing classrooms one after the other. In these situations, they would usually just nod to each other as a greeting.

But for some reason, Hillman and Jiang Hui's meetings have been decreasing recently, and they haven't seen each other for almost a week. Later, Zhou Xiuwen came twice but they still couldn't get a meeting, which made them start to have some doubts.

So Hillman rushed downstairs as soon as get out of class ended today, wanting to stop Jiang Hui as soon as possible to see what was going on.

His intuition was right; the other person appeared extremely busy, with a hint of anxiety in their eyes—clearly something was wrong. Hillman had worried that the other person was having some kind of problem they were embarrassed to tell their friends… but it turned out he'd misunderstood. Jiang Hui wasn't having any problems; they were genuinely just very busy.

"...You mean a senior instructor asked you to help him organize and screen the library's collection?" Hillman looked somewhat confused. Although he believed Jiang Hui wouldn't lie, the whole thing sounded a bit far-fetched and completely unrelated.

Hillman naturally knew something about the school's senior faculty. His family had recently joined the board of directors of Beska Intermediate Academy. Although it wasn't his place to manage things as someone who wasn't fully awakened, he still represented the school and learned about some of its rules and regulations.

As mentioned earlier, Beska Intermediate Academy is supported and managed by the Eighth Legion, which is naturally different from those fully funded academies. Their teachers are mainly divided into two modules: externally hired teachers and active-duty sergeants.

The former are teachers with regular positions, while the latter are usually active-duty military personnel who come here on military assignments or quotas, and they will return to the battlefield after their short-term mission ends.

The majority of these instructors were naturally from the Eighth Army Corps, with only a small number from other armies temporarily transferred here for teaching duties during the transition period. These instructors mostly held military-related positions, forming a self-contained system.

External hires come in many forms and are difficult to define, so I won't go into detail here. However, they do ultimately have a relatively unified standard, namely the level of the hired faculty.

Senior instructor is the highest level of external teacher at Besca Intermediate Academy. The next level, Special Grade Instructor, is not a school-level designation but rather refers to educators with special status. For example, Principal Jason is one of only two Special Grade Instructors at Besca Intermediate Academy; the other is in charge of the school board and rarely visits the school anymore.

Therefore, senior instructors are practically the highest-ranking teachers in the school, enjoying the highest level of benefits. At the beginning of this semester, Beska Intermediate Academy had a total of seven senior instructors, and it is said that one more was recently signed, making it eight. Among them, five are mecha pilots, all of whom are teachers specifically hired by the school for mecha students. For example, the intermediate mecha pilot in the second year who designed the orienteering battle for them is also one of the school's senior instructors.

There's also Professor Jiang Fei from the third year, Professor U. Tuya from the Command Department, and Joaquin Kongo from the second year of the Logistics Department… They are all senior instructors at the Beska Intermediate Academy, and you can usually only see them during large lectures. Students outside their major have very little chance to meet them, and even if they do, there's little opportunity for communication or interaction.

Anyway, Hillman never met the senior faculty members of the school, but he met the principal several times.

How exactly did Jiang Hui run into someone in the library and get noticed, leading to her involvement in such a large project? It's truly unimaginable that someone would ask a student like Jiang Hui for help…

Yes, the school has been taking this matter quite seriously lately. Principal Jason hasn't been at this school for very long, but the school has been around for a long time. When he arrived, the management system was already well-established, so Jason didn't need to interfere too much.

Therefore, after Xia Jason took over Besca Intermediate School, he didn't pay attention to this issue, and the library remained unmanaged. Although the administrator submitted relevant suggestions twice, for some reason, they ultimately failed to attract the attention of the school board. It wasn't until this year, when several new investors provided substantial funds to the school's operations, alleviating their financial difficulties and allowing them to begin addressing some long-standing problems, that things changed.

They also discovered the library's situation, but struggled to find a suitable person to handle it.

This Mr. Carlo truly lived up to his reputation. The employment contract had just been signed, and the school hadn't even scheduled him to teach yet, but he had already found out about their recent chore. The other party didn't want the mecha students to continue absorbing these misprinted books, and the school also wanted to find a trustworthy and reliable person to do this work—a perfect match.

Hillman vaguely knew some of this; he had only heard a few days ago that the school had brought in reinforcements to help review the books in the mecha section. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, never expecting that his own friend was involved in this matter.

Hillman's first reaction was surprisingly, "Do you get a bonus?"

Reviewing the library is a huge undertaking, requiring a great deal of time and effort, and demanding that participants have an extremely broad knowledge base. Not just anyone can do this job.

Some schools, to save time, directly hire professional teams of celebrities to handle the screening and vetting process. Besca Intermediate Academy, due to certain circumstances, is less trusting of such teams and prefers to have its own people or trusted individuals handle this task. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the school should arrange for an in-house faculty team to complete this project within this semester.

The school has also prepared a generous sum of money as a token of gratitude.

Jiang Hui was going to help, whether it was doing odd jobs or something else, it was all part of her contribution. Hillman's first concern was naturally whether her friend had received the treatment she deserved.
