The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 425 Comprehensive Course
"He seems to have heard it." Zhou Xiuwen concluded calmly, glancing at it only once before looking away.

“Oh dear, that’s scary. What did I say wrong, what did I say to offend him… He seemed to be glaring at me.” Hillman seemed frightened.

Clarence looked somewhat speechless. He had witnessed the whole thing and hadn't felt that Holly was glaring at anyone, but the other person had definitely noticed one of them, probably after hearing Hillman's comment. However, that person really needed to correct his habit of blurting out everything; scaring him a little would be good. Let Zhou Xiuwen do it.

"Then you need to think carefully about what you just said?" Zhou Xiuwen was still willing to coax children, and shook his head with a smile.

"I... I didn't say anything. I just said, 'Jiang seems to be the only S-class student in our grade'... I think... I think that's all." Hillman stammered, trying hard to recall what he had just said.

“Indeed, what you said makes sense. But—it’s said that this Holly has an A+ level of mental strength, which is probably the highest in your class. I guess he was unhappy to hear that and felt that you… were implying something?” Zhou Xiuwen said uncertainly.

"Hey! I didn't mean that... Why would I be implying anything about him? He's the uncrowned king of my class... you know! If I offend him, I'll be in big trouble. I'm supposed to be in Class 1 for a few years." Hillman immediately denied it as if he'd been stepped on, on the verge of tears. He was innocent!

“You didn’t mean it that way, but maybe others think you did—” Zhou Xiuwen, still enjoying teasing the child, raised an eyebrow and said, “It’s possible I’m wrong, but… you should also think about whether you’ve offended anyone before.”

Hillman waved his hands repeatedly, his face contorted in a grimace. Why had he gone to all this trouble? That guy, regardless of talent, had an undeniable aura; he always carried off the class with an "I'm the boss" attitude, and most of the students respected him. How could a spineless lone wolf like himself dare to provoke such a powerful figure?

Seriously... he just went out for a meal and somehow managed to provoke the Demon King. How unlucky! Will he get beaten up by the Demon King's admirers tomorrow? Hillman's mind was already racing with some far-fetched and exaggerated thoughts.

"Jiang, help me! You'll have to help me then!" Hillman turned his gaze to the only person he could trust.

Jiang Hui seemed to think about it seriously for a moment before slowly saying, "Actually, what I wanted to say was... Huan's mental strength is also S-level. You're wrong."

"So that's what you were thinking about?! Did you even hear what I just said? You didn't even notice Holly walking by? And what I meant was that we're first-year combat individual specialists, while Huan Xian is in the command department, okay?" Hillman said, somewhat exasperated.

"...Of course I saw it, but I just passed by, so what?" Jiang Hui didn't care at all.

Their usual seating area was in line with the food ordering and pick-up area, so it wasn't strange that the other person would walk past them to get their food. They had run into quite a few acquaintances here before, but this was the first time they had encountered Holly.

Besides, they're all classmates from the same school, so what's so strange about them running into each other?

As for Huan Xian blocking her from behind, he probably did so because he was afraid she might accidentally lean back and bump into someone behind her.

"Alright, isn't he your classmate? What, you seem quite afraid of him?" Jiang Hui shook her head, somewhat amused.

Hillman immediately bristled: "You guys don't know what I mean if you're not in his class—" His tone became agitated, and his voice involuntarily rose slightly, only to be patted on the shoulder by Clarence next to him, forcing him to immediately quiet down. "That guy's way of controlling the mechs is something not everyone can handle. He's like a madman; even if you surrender, he'll beat you until you're pounding your chest. I've been caught and beaten up by him several times, so don't just talk about me, I bet there aren't many in Class One who aren't afraid of him."

“Then you… are the same.” Clarence glanced at him and said.

Hillman was a little confused, not knowing what the other party meant.

“Clarence means that if you came to Class Two, it would probably be the same.” Zhou Xiuwen shook his head and said, “Do you expect Clarence and Jiang to stop beating you up? Even if they were willing, their class teacher, Stark, probably wouldn’t agree. Speaking of which, Captain Zou Yi’s teaching style is more open. Luckily, you went to Class One.”

Zhou Xiuwen's words shattered someone's beautiful illusion, and the other person deflated like a punctured balloon. They immediately quieted down: "I just wanted to. Sigh, I can't afford to mess with you guys. Geniuses are one thing, but they all work so hard, how are the rest of us supposed to live?"
"So this is a good opportunity for you to gain some experience, so don't become too complacent." Huan Xian coldly interrupted someone's sophistry.

Faced with the combined attack of his four friends, Xi had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender.

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you big shots. By the way, back to the topic, we're about to run into each other, right? I heard there's a warm-up class for the Joint Comprehensive Course next week." Hillman was tough; he recovered quickly after the initial setback and eagerly shared his latest news with his friends.

Jiang Hui and Clarence had been busy with other things lately, and this was the first time they had heard this news: "Next week?" Isn't there still two weeks before the practical course? The class schedule has always been like this, so why is there suddenly a warm-up class? It doesn't sound like a formal course.

"I heard that the practical classes will continue as scheduled, with the last two sessions followed by a special introductory warm-up class next week. They're probably worried about the integration issues between students in the joint education program," Hillman said.

“Your individual combat training program is really different; the combined practical courses are incredible for our majors,” Zhou Xiuwen said after thinking for a moment.

"Joint classes, Class 1 and Class 2 together?" Huan Xian was unusually interested.

"No, it's Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 together. Then the rest of the classes are all scattered, also in groups of three."

"So the teachers are coming too?" Zhou Xiuwen found this very novel.

“Yes, I heard that our class advisor Zou Yi, Captain Stark, and Captain Lynch from the next class are taking turns teaching and instructing each other.” Hillman’s expression became a little strange after he said that, because even he knew that his class advisor and Captain Stark from the next class seemed to have a bad relationship. If they were to teach each other in the same class, they would probably start arguing on the spot.

What was the school thinking, letting these two attend classes together?
