The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 389 Contrast
Jiang Hui nodded, then continued to find the corresponding books according to Carlo's instructions, and then handed them over to the administrator to re-enter the numbers and information, and upload the records.

After a flurry of activity, they finally managed to complete the initial screening for the mecha section around 11 PM. Carlo said he had invited several other teachers from the mecha department to come and verify the results tomorrow, but after that, it wouldn't be Jiang Hui's concern, and she didn't need to come tomorrow.

In other words, Jiang Hui's mission is finally complete, and she no longer needs to run around. She can resume her normal study life.

Seeing the girl's undisguised relaxation, Carlo found it somewhat amusing. She really was still just a child; it seemed he'd been keeping her quite restrained these past few days.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want to come again tomorrow... that's fine too. It just so happens that a few professors from the Mecha Department are here as well. I can introduce you to them." Those professors were not just anyone; they were the professors who taught large classes in the Mecha Department. Among them was Professor Yang Li, the professor Jiang Hui had chosen to take the course. If he could gain their favor, his future career path in the Mecha Department would be easier.

Carlo would be happy to help such a good kid find a match.

Jiang Hui shook her head repeatedly without even thinking. No, that's still not an option. Not only would she have nothing to do and wouldn't be of any use, but the pressure of being alone with the school's teachers would be too much. Tomorrow she'd be surrounded by a group of teachers… the thought was too horrible to even contemplate.

Seemingly sensing someone's hesitation, Carlo smiled and shook his head: "Alright, I know you've been tired these past few days and want to rest. You can rest tomorrow, no need to come over. Here, show me your degree ID, and I'll apply for your personal points. The school has also provided some subsidies, and you'll get one too. You can decide when to accept it."

Jiang Hui took out the card and handed it to the other party.

"Okay, let me see." Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh right, I haven't asked you which class you're in yet..."

Just as Jiang Hui was about to reply, she noticed the person opposite her change their expression, their pupils dilating slightly. She saw that the other person had just accessed her ID's backend, which displayed Jiang Hui's student registration information.

"Um... I'm Jiang Hui from the second class of the Combat Individual Soldier Department." The girl rubbed her palms together, her voice slightly unsteady.

"Combat individual soldier system..." The other party seemed a little confused and muttered to himself.

"You're in the combat individual soldier category? Not the mecha category?" Sheda Karo let out a long breath as if he had been startled, and asked in disbelief.

"...The students are from the combat individual soldier department." Jiang Hui repeated honestly.

"This, this is too much..." The other party continued with some difficulty, "To be honest, I never thought of this. You are actually a student in the Combat Individual Department?! I always thought you were in the Mecha Department."

"Very good, it seems there's quite a bit of a contrast in her behavior," Jiang Hui thought to herself.

After a long while, the elder seemed to finally accept this and sighed, "I'm sorry, I was prejudiced." He had indeed never asked about Jiang Hui's major, and only assumed from his own perspective that the other party was a student majoring in mecha, but he didn't expect that it was completely unrelated.

It's amazing how erratic kids' interests are these days. A soldier going off to learn about mecha... It's not entirely unreasonable, but it's still quite unexpected.

And she's learning so well; she's a real talent. Carlo's throat felt a little dry.

"Professor Carlo... Professor?" Jiang Hui thought she had upset the other person when she saw that he had been silent for a long time.

Given that it was indeed late, and any later she would be forcibly sent into the consciousness space again halfway through her journey, Jiang Hui finally took the initiative to suggest leaving first. Carlo was only slightly surprised, but his mentality wasn't so fragile as to collapse so easily, so he said, "Then you go back first, be careful on the road, and see you in the future..." In the end, he didn't say anything more.

Jiang Hui didn't notice the other person's hesitation. After saying goodbye to the librarian, she hurriedly left the library, leaving the two adults standing there.

"She's a student in the individual combat training program?"

Tsk, this guy's reaction time is pretty slow, he's only just realized it.

The administrator thought he had misheard, but it turns out it was true.

This student, who loves reading and treats it like eating, is actually a student majoring in individual combat? Isn't that a bit far-fetched? Have students aspiring to become individual soldiers really gotten this involved?
Judging solely from his words and actions, this young man shows absolutely no signs of being a solo soldier. He's thin, his physical abilities seem average, but his mental strength is clearly quite high… which is indeed a selection criterion for solo soldiers. However, people with high mental strength levels have many other professions that require high mental strength; they don't necessarily have to be solo soldiers. Based on the characteristics he's displayed, being a mech pilot seems more suitable.

“She is,” Carlo said with certainty.

He had by now recovered from the fact that Jiang Hui was a combat individual student, and after glancing at Jiang Hui's student file, he was somewhat astonished.

That child wasn't just a student in the combat individual training program. Their grades were also exceptionally good; they were among the best in their major, both in entrance exams and daily coursework. He paused for a moment at the words 'Orienteering (Class D event) Champion' on the child's achievements page, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"...A top student in the combat individual training program, I reckon they won't release him there," Carlo said dejectedly.

"I see." The administrator hadn't expected his usually well-behaved classmate to be this kind of person. A top student in individual combat? With her slender build, does she seem like it?
As for Carlo, he wasn't concerned about whether they resembled each other or not; rather, he realized that the other person's learning ability might be far stronger than he had anticipated.

The girl in the student profile in the system's backend has such a youthful face, yet she has sharp eyes that don't match her age.

Ginger...is it flowing back?
--------------

Jiang Hui, who was returning to her dormitory, was unaware that others were talking about her. She was still hurrying towards the dormitory she had chosen, braving the cold wind and glancing at her personal computer every now and then.

Tomorrow is the weekend again, and the mission is over, so she can finally have a couple of good days off.

Jiang Hui felt that she was in a pretty good state. Although she had gone through some mental activities, she felt a sense of mental relaxation.

After this weekend, she will probably be able to revive with renewed energy and throw herself back into mecha research.

Hmm? Someone sent her a message.

Jiang Hui glanced at the screen and saw it was indeed Teacher Carol, whom she had just parted ways with. She had quickly approved 200 points for her, and the school system immediately sent a notification of the point change—the efficiency was truly impressive. This score gave her a great sense of security.

Friendly reminder: Children, please try not to stay out late at night. Go home early and rest so you can grow taller. And to all the beautiful and handsome adults out late at night, please be careful! Don't follow the example of Ms. Jiang; her love of staying up late is so sinful, and the author condemns it.
