Silence.
A strange tension descended over the scene!
Everyone was staring in a daze at that calm girl wielding a gun.
It was not just the effects of her great turnaround, but also her earlier speech.
Especially that last sentence.
I have been genuinely disappointed by this visit to Monster University.
A teacher observing the happenings nearby felt somewhat moved.
He would not forget the origins of the International Association. At that time, how many people fought tooth and nail to protect and maintain the order of the Association.
He still remembered the time when that person was still around. She could always ignite the passions of the crowd.
The entire university had come together as one. Defending against the outside, covering for each other.
At that era, no one dared to provoke Monster University.
A pity that person sacrificed everything.
But failed to stop all the changes.
The teacher glanced at Su Huiqing again before sighing. He shrugged and left.
Bertha was the one who was most affected. She was standing beside Su Huiqing, and those gunshots echoed in her ears.
Right from the start, she didn’t believe Su Huiqing would really hit her target, only to see her raising her hand and hitting bullseye again and again. In the end, Su Huiqing had even started shooting at her target… the sun was shining brightly, but Bertha felt very cold. Everything just felt so unreal.
She had clearly come from some remote little place. How did she become so formidable?!
Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes. She tossed her gun back to its original spot and repeated to Bertha. “It’s your turn now, Ms Bertha.”
Concealed beneath her polite words were utterly wicked intentions!
She had already impudently shot Bertha’s target from the side.
Such a result would be a shining achievement even among the elite forces. There was no way a student like Bertha could beat it.
As good as Bertha was, it was impossible for her to achieve two 10.9 scores like this.
If Bertha took her turn, her shots on the target would make a glaring comparison with Su Huiqing’s. It would be better for Bertha not to make any shots. At least she could retain a bit of her dignity.
Bertha took a deep breath and said, “You violated the rules and hit my target…”
“Rules are meant to be challenged. You can also shoot at her target.” Yu Shijin interrupted her. He walked over and picked up a gun, accurately tossing it into Bertha’s hands. “Fair is fair.”
His tone was calm and elegant.
His manner was so poised that one could find no fault with it.
But Bertha went pale. She gritted her teeth, knowing that she was no match for Su Huiqing. She glared at Yu Shijin. “You have got guts. Which team are you from?!”
She was threatening him.
She would be a blind fool if she still couldn’t see that Yu Shijin was standing on Su Huiqing’s side.
“I am commanding you to shoot.” Yu Shijin didn’t answer her question but just fixed his icy-cold eyes on her. “Don’t make me repeat a third time.”
He had lowered his voice slightly.
It was tinged with a thirst for blood.
An incredibly strong aura.
When Yu Shijin got like this, even the chief detective and gang wouldn’t dare to provoke him, not to mention Bertha.
Bertha shuddered. She wanted to refuse but her mind was full of Yu Shijin’s chilly, hostile eyes.
In the end, she raised the gun with trembling hands.
She hit the target eight times the first round, and then twice in the second round. The rest of her shots all missed the target.
For a bunch of newbies, this could be considered a satisfactory result. But compared to Su Huiqing, it was utterly inferior.
Even with her head lowered, not daring to meet the eyes of the rest of the class, Bertha could still feel their astonished stares.
She turned even paler.
Yu Shijin paid no attention to her at all.
“If you can’t even do what you claim to be able to, there’s no need for you guys to attend my training.” He stared at the rest of the class, his manner as noble as always. “Now I am electing Su Huiqing as class monitor. Do any of you have any questions?”
Questions?
Who would dare to raise any questions at this point?
One by one, they couldn’t help turning their eyes toward Su Huiqing.
But all they could see was that delicate chin beneath her cap.
Bertha remained affixed to her original spot. She felt that she had become an instant joke. No one could be bothered with her now.
She gritted her teeth before returning to her own position.
Yu Shijin took a gun and started to lecture the group. He noticed that Bertha was standing in the most prominent position of the team.
He suddenly paused and looked in her direction. “You, change positions with the class monitor.”
Humiliation after humiliation.
But for the time being, the person before her was her instructor.
Bertha had no choice but to glare coldly at Yu Shijin. Before moving, she uttered through clenched jaws. “Just you wait and see!”
“I am already being very merciful, on account of Principal Dien.” Yu Shijin lowered his eyes. “You better not provoke me during this period of military training.”
Su Huiqing occupied that prominent spot after Bertha vacated it.
Yu Shijin finally felt that the scenery had gotten much more pleasant.
He started his lecture again, his voice much gentler than before.
For today’s group training, the instructor would be teaching students weapon-use, as well as some wilderness survival knowledge.
Yu Shijin had his own way of teaching.
His gun disassembly movements and technique was extremely smooth. Your usual instructor was no match against him.
By the time evening came, the knowledge foundation of his class had started to take shape.
He stood in the middle of the team, his low voice somewhat nonchalant. “Our training will end here for today. You need to hurry over to another arena. Over there, you will undergo a two-week long survival challenge. Go board the truck to the arena now.”
Following that, a military truck came to a stop in front of them.
This kind of vehicle was equipped for war. It had a very high base and even the tallest guys came up only to the bottom of the truck.
It was naturally very awkward to climb onto it.
Nevertheless, supporting herself with two hands, Qu Yan managed to flip onto the vehicle easily.
She even brought Qing Zi along with her.
The rest of the group gasped in amazement.
Su Huiqing was the last to board.
“Brother Yu, you haven’t told me.” She paused when she passed by Yu Shijin. She glanced at him with bright eyes.
She still remembered all those things that Yu Shijin were keeping from her.
But Yu Shijin just stood there and said, “I will give you three seconds to board the truck.”
Su Huiqing, “…’”
She pressed down on her cap.
The truck had already started to move. With one hand still in her pocket, she nimbly flipped onto the vehicle.
Her movement was light and agile.
Whipping off her cap, the long silky hair underneath flowed gently in the breeze.
That face was gallant and captivating.
They already thought that Qu Yan was good, and Su Huiqing was just as impressive. Their movements were not like freshmen at all.
Bertha sat alone in the corner, malevolence in her eyes.
The location of Monster University’s wilderness training was a relatively large island. By the time Su Huiqing and her class arrived, most of the other trucks were already there.
Yu Shijin alighted. “This is your training grounds. Its danger level is as high as that of the International Battlefield and contains cameras that transmit directly to the outside. With the class monitor as your lead, you guys must complete the mission. The top 30 people with the most points will enter Class S.”
“Wait a minute.” Bertha, who had been keeping mum all along, finally spoke up. “The difficulty level of this wilderness training is so high, and one false move may lead to death. To preserve my own life, I don’t wish to be on the same team as our class monitor.”
Yu Shijin’s eyes hardened. He started to speak.
But Su Huiqing interrupted with a smirk. “What a coincidence, I don’t wish to be on the same team as you either.”
And of course, Yu Shijin wouldn’t go against Su Huiqing’s wishes.
Although the school didn’t allow a class to be split, he had his own ways to circumvent this rule. As a result, he silently assented to the request. Nevertheless, he continued to look at Bertha with hostility.
But Bertha was not finished yet.
She dared to speak in this manner just so she could go against Su Huiqing.
“My father is from the military base, while my mother is from the Ye Family. Everyone from the Ye Family possesses some knowledge of potion-making.” She paused.
The others in the class were listening intently, holding their breaths.
Bertha surveyed the class, her gaze calm and placid. “I wonder if you have heard of the miracle doctor badge? I am the holder of that badge.”
As if worried that they wouldn’t believe her, she smiled and whipped out a piece of rosewood from her pocket.
