The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 496 Note
Today's exam was truly awful. It was her first formal exam in interstellar space, and it turned out to be such a mess. Fortunately, her results were pretty good, exceeding her expectations.

Clarence, on the other hand, was really unlucky. He ran into some strange people and his results were disappointing, even though he could have done better with his abilities.

Fortunately, Manolin did not actually calculate the scores based on a single score. She also added points for some outstanding students based on their individual performance. Of course, there were also deductions, such as the second-year students who had points deducted collectively.

Many people left the conference hall looking dejected, unsure whether it was because they had been scolded or had points deducted.

But these things have nothing to do with Jiang Hui.

She inquired about Chen Wenbai, who was traveling with Man, from Clarence's perspective. Chen Wenbai said he was fine and was lucky to have been photographed early on without sustaining any injuries.

That answer was truly both laughable and pathetic, but it's good that he's alright. Given Chen Wenbai's frail physique, if he had really gone up against those second-year students, he'd probably be the one lying on the floor right now.

After saying goodbye to the two, Jiang Hui happened to run into Xie Lin again. No, or rather, Xie Lin had come specifically to find Jiang Hui and Clarence to thank them for their help. After all, in that situation, many first-years wouldn't dare to confront Gubler head-on, while the second-years were indifferent.

The people standing next to her at that time were all her classmates or close friends. Therefore, Jiang Hui and the others' initiative to step forward was all the more commendable, especially since she knew that before Captain Manolin saved Xie He, Clarence had wanted to help Xie He.

Similarly, she also saw this classmate Jiang rescue someone who was almost accidentally injured by his teammates on the field.

Compared to these two students, most of the second-grade students could be described as bullying the weak.

"Thank you." The pretty girl's eyes were still a little red. She had probably been holding back her emotions in front of Gubler, not wanting to be laughed at. But if what Captain Manolin said was true, her cousin was seriously injured. On one hand, she had her cousin whose condition was unknown, and on the other hand, she had to calmly listen to the seminar. One can imagine how she felt.

Jiang Hui asked about the other party's cousin's situation. The other party shook his head and said that he had asked his family to help transfer a spaceship from a medium-sized hospital on the main continent. The person had already been sent there and should arrive soon.

The other party probably wasn't in the mood for idle chatter, and after saying a few words, they said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Jiang Hui left the unusually quiet Clarence for the night, intending to wait until the others were far away before speaking.

"Jiang, classmate." Someone called her from behind again.

Jiang Hui was puzzled again; why were so many people looking for her today? She really didn't have time.

But she couldn't pretend she didn't hear and just walk away, so she could only compose herself, turn around, and face the person who was coming to greet her.

It was that senior student, He Si, from the second year.

The two didn't interact much; this was only their third meeting. However, these three meetings were all rather unusual, and they hadn't spoken much.

No, the two did have some interaction... Jiang Hui recalled what happened not long ago.

Actually, Captain Manolin wasn't entirely sure; Hess wasn't completely inactive. In fact, during her one-on-one fight with the second-year student, Iago, he did make a move; the bullet that came from the side came from Hess.

Don't ask her how she knew the person inside the mecha was He Si. It's because the other party's shooting style was also very synchronized; Jiang Hui sensed it as her mental energy followed the bullets.

Even if he hadn't intervened, Jiang Hui might have been injured, because Yago's attack was rather insidious; it didn't seem like he was trying to defeat her, but rather that he wanted to smash her and her machine... Anyone who didn't know better would think she had some kind of grudge against him. Captain Manolin's statement that the other party was completely bystander wasn't entirely accurate either. "Senior He," Jiang Hui said politely.

Clarence, standing next to him, nodded in greeting as everyone else did, without calling out to anyone.

"I haven't thanked you enough for saving me, senior." No matter what, he did help her. The situation was critical at the time. Although she might have been able to react in time, if she had been hit, she would at least have suffered a mental disorder, so she should thank him.

“I didn’t do anything,” Hess said calmly. He denied it.

This left Jiang Hui speechless. "So why did you come here? To say hello? Or because of her grades?"
Jiang Hui thought about it more and more and felt that this was the reason. Actually, she felt a little awkward in front of He Si, after all, the two of them had the same score when they came out, and were the highest scorers in the H round.

The third-ranked student was a second-year student who had been diligently practicing her shooting throughout the entire event. Her total score was 1508, which was quite high. However, because she had been a spectator in the third round, Captain Manolin deducted 40 points from her, bringing her score down to 1468.

Then He Si also lost 40 points as a group, while Jiang Hui gained points, so one dropped out of first place and the other got 1600+.

The grades are their own; the addition or subtraction of grades is decided by the teacher.

But even though their base scores were the same, and He Si had even saved her during the fight, things had turned out this way. Jiang Hui wasn't exactly embarrassed, but rather felt slightly awkward.

"Congratulations." That's what the other person said.

Huh? Is this sarcasm? Or a sincere blessing?
Jiang Hui assumed it was the latter. However, she still didn't quite understand why this person had come. It couldn't just be to offer congratulations; that seemed impossible.

"You're very good." He looked at Jiang Hui again, leaving Jiang Hui with a face full of question marks.

Is this some kind of riddle or what?

Then the other party stretched out his hand in Jiang Hui's direction. Clarence, who was next to him, was a little wary and wanted to stop him, and looked at the brown man with some suspicion.

He Si didn't care. He simply opened his palm in front of the two of them. Inside was something that looked like a piece of paper, rolled up into a thin strip, so the contents were not visible.

"If you're interested, you can come find me anytime." He no longer insisted on personally handing the note to Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui was initially suspicious, but then realized that the other person wanted her to take the note. Thinking that not all her classmates were malicious, she figured the other person must have something to ask her, so she figured it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Besides, it's just a note; there's nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Hui didn't open it immediately. She just took the note and held it, indicating that she would read it carefully later. Then the other person nodded and left.

Jiang Hui and Clarence were left looking at each other in bewilderment... Did he really come here specifically to deliver this note?
