The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

“He was eliminated; he didn’t even make it to the scoring stage. He has to stay there and wait for the final make-up exam. If he fails again this time, he’ll have to retake it next year.” Man shook her head, her tone slightly worried.

Although her relationship with Chen Wenbo was actually quite ordinary. This frail young master from a wealthy family was similar to Neville, a classmate of Zhou Xiuwen's; he was physically weak and often sick, but for some reason, he chose to study in the combat individual department.

From the start of the semester, he found it extremely difficult to adapt to the life of a combat individual soldier. During military training alone, he fainted and woke up countless times, and was even sent to the hospital for examination twice, which reportedly terrified his family. Everyone thought he would eventually give up, but unexpectedly, he endured the intensity and made it through a whole semester.

Up to the last class, his mecha piloting skills were already quite impressive... Well, although he still couldn't compare to the other students in Class Two, at least he was showing some promise and had grasped the basics. Stark knew his situation and didn't nitpick too much.

If it were just a simple shooting test today, he should have had no problem, and could at least pass. But in a mixed-method test, it was a different story. As expected, the other person became the scapegoat, eliminated before even firing a single shot. Fortunately, the other person wasn't seriously injured; Man had only let him in after confirming he was alright.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui seemed to be deep in thought. A makeup exam? So, those who were directly eliminated and didn't get any points have a chance to retake the exam?
This was within her expectations. After all, the test was about shooting, and someone using such an unrelated, opportunistic method to eliminate the enemy did seem off-topic.

If the final results are really given this way, then why bother with individual exams at all? Why not just have a mixed exam like the orienteering competition at the start of the semester? This time it's a mecha operation; wouldn't that allow everyone to get training? And it saves the trouble of dividing the exam rooms…

So the school's arrangement is quite humane. As for the rules for retaking the course next year, it's basically like saying, "We've given you a chance, but it's up to you to seize it," and passing isn't guaranteed.

The two chatted casually, waiting for the last group to return.

Not long after, Clarence entered. There was no doubt that he had passed; Jiang Hui never doubted that. She nodded to him from afar, only to see that his expression was more unpleasant than ever before.

However, after receiving Jiang Hui's gaze, the fierceness in his eyes lessened slightly, but it was clear that he was still very angry.

What happened? How could something as simple as taking an exam turn into such a fuss...?

Although Clarence had a bit of a spoiled brat attitude, he was always well-mannered, never took his anger out on others, and rarely showed his bad mood on his face.

In the six months that they've been together, the other person has become more mature, reserved, and composed.

Aside from the beginning of the school year, when Jiang Hui could occasionally see a less composed side of the other person, later—especially after surviving the last ordeal—the other person seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, becoming a calm and reliable…cool guy.

The other person silently sat down on her other side, leaving Man sitting there too stunned to even breathe. Well, Clarence may not look fierce, and he never bullies anyone, but his aura can sometimes be quite intimidating.

Jiang is still the cutest. Jiang Hui, of course, wasn't affected. She softened her voice and asked, "How did the exam go?" Actually, judging from his dark face, it definitely didn't go well. She said this deliberately to get him to say it. It's better to get it off his chest than to keep it bottled up inside.

Clarence shook his head without surprise, his expression somewhat gloomy, and said, "Those second-year students... they've gone too far!"

Did they also encounter a group of opportunists like the ones they mentioned at the beginning? Are they addicted to bullying children as a group? Even if the teacher didn't say it's wrong, it's still incredibly tasteless.

Jiang Hui glanced at the third wave of people entering and was surprised to find that, apart from Clarence, there wasn't a single first-year student. But she remembered that the third round had the most first-year students gathered there. Had they all been eliminated and were waiting for a make-up exam?
Before she could ask any more questions, a group of first-year students who were gathered more closely on the other side suddenly started arguing, making a commotion that sounded like they were arguing.

It turned out that the first-year students over there had gotten into a fight with the group of second-year students who came in later. The former were furious, while the latter were nonchalant, with a hint of arrogance and smugness.

They were arguing so loudly that Jiang Hui and the others couldn't help but hear them, and naturally, they heard almost the whole story.

Compared to their first match, which was relatively smooth but without major incident, the third match was truly explosive, completely dominated by the second-year students.

Perhaps because several students used this near-cheating method to eliminate nearly half the students and clear the exam room in the second round, the proctors didn't issue any warnings. The students in the third round naturally followed suit, becoming even bolder. They ruthlessly kicked all the first-year students and some weaker second-year students off the testing table, leaving only about twenty of them who could actually begin. Naturally, the exam ended much easier for them.

Even with his considerable skill, Clarence couldn't withstand such a multi-pronged attack and could only manage to rack up points in a corner. Fortunately, his final score wasn't too low, but it was still far behind Jiang Hui and the others who were taking the regular exam. He didn't even reach 1300, a score he could have easily achieved with his abilities, but it was all ruined by those other people.

Having gone through so much in the past six months, and with one or two people constantly weighing on him, Clarence, despite his pride, had become more composed than before. However, he was extremely angry and frustrated about today's events.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept being inferior to others, but rather that he couldn't accept those people using such despicable means to target him and his classmates. And he, too, lacked the ability to do so, and could only watch helplessly as they arrogantly flaunted their victories.

How could Clarence, with his pride, tolerate this? And so, the scene that Jiang Hui and the others witnessed came to be.

Jiang Hui and the others were dismissed after finishing their exams, unaware of what happened afterward, let alone such a terrible incident. They frowned as they listened. This only intensified their disgust for the smug individuals on the other side, and they were also puzzled as to why the teachers allowed such a thing to happen without doing anything to stop it. Did they also believe that the second-year students were right to do what they did?

Is this what they call an individual shooting test? Or is it the educational purpose the school wanted to achieve by organizing a mixed test? If the teachers wanted to use this to teach them about the dangers of society, then they have probably already experienced it, and... have nothing to say.
