95. Chapter 90
Luis's return has only had a slight impact on the small circle of Si Nian, and for others, a man who has been gone for five years, even if he has achieved good results in the freshman qualifying round, that influence has long since disappeared with his departure.
Of course, not everyone forgets about Louis, there are always some people who are only too shallow to fight, but they are deeply impressed.
"I heard that the opponent you were expecting was coming back soon." Wen Dushan sat on the chair and said to Jason, who was sitting across from him.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it." Jason replied with an unchanged face, obviously knowing the news for a long time.
"You said you lost to me every qualifying match, why do you care so much about someone who only appears once?" Wen Dushan asked with some incomprehension.
"Aren't you too?" Jason scoffed.
Wen Dushan was silent for a moment, after all, he didn't have the confidence to refute the other party.
"Age is a chasm that is hard to bridge, so I don't feel worse than you, but that guy is different." Jason looked out the window, as if recalling the original showdown.
It's obviously not started yet, it's over, and it's probably because of this that I haven't been able to let go of it for so many years.
Win or lose, there will always be a clear outcome. Only that time, being forced by the other party's words and a little specious thing to dare not resist at all was a shame and a lesson.
But if you do it all over again, will you be able to muster up the courage to sacrifice your life to fight?
The answer is no.
His intellect did not allow him to do this, nor did his grandfather's long-standing teachings.
Wen Dushan sneered, obviously dissatisfied with Jason's evasion.
"It's a nice thing to say, but it's just because you don't even dare to compare and admit defeat, so you can't pass that level in your heart."
Jason didn't refute, but nodded in agreement: "It's true that I can't get past that level in my heart, but I don't regret it." If I hadn't thrown in the towel, I probably wouldn't have even made it to the finals, which is something I would never allow in my life. ”
Wen Dushan snorted and said, "Saying so much is not to make excuses for my timidity, if it were me, even if I knew that I would lose, I must try it before making a decision." ”
Jason didn't refute either, just sighed lightly and said, "People are different. ”
He knew that Wen Dushan's personality would indeed make this choice, but Wen Dushan's situation was different from him, there was not so much competition at home, coupled with his consistent education, he had more courage to fight.
At this point, he is indeed inferior to Wen Dushan.
However, everyone's living environment is different, and their personalities are naturally very different. He will not be as brave as Wen Dushan to move forward recklessly, and Wen Dushan will not be able to think about everything as well as he does.
"Anyway, since he's at Interstellar Academy, we can always find a chance to meet him for a while." Wen Dushan didn't hold on to Jason's sore spots, after five years of getting along, although the two were not close friends, but the issue of identity and strength was indeed closer than ordinary classmates.
Wen Dushan is a bit domineering, but Jason has always been gentle, the two have completely different temperaments, and they just complement each other, so they have always been happy to get along.
"You're looking forward to it." Jason laughed and teased Wen Dushan.
Wen Dushan didn't mind, and acquiesced to Jason's statement.
On this side, the two opponents showed great interest in Luis's watch, and on the other side, Arida, who had never crossed paths with Luis, also noticed Luis's return.
Unlike Wen Dushan and Jason's simple regrets, Yalida has more complicated feelings about Luis's opponent.
Whether it is Wen Dushan or Jason, neither of them fell out of the top three competition because of Louis, only she, because Louis, a player who did not even appear in the finals, was directly ranked fourth.
How big is the gap between third and fourth place?
Definitely no less than the distance between first and second place.
Because she only finished fourth, Arida was ridiculed for a while.
It was a slightly bleak past, and the "culprit" who caused it disappeared after that, as if he didn't care about the final outcome of the game.
Louis's departure deprived her of the opportunity to make a name for herself, and Yarida was unwilling to lose to such an opponent who didn't even know the depths. This kind of unwilling to survive years and ferment, to this day, Yalida has never forgotten this opponent, perhaps it is precisely because of the humiliation that the other party has brought and the regret that cannot be washed away for a long time.
Arida is eager to fight, just like Wen Dushan and Jason.
A new opponent is always more inspiring to fight.
Luis obviously didn't know that he had just returned to the academy and had attracted so many opponents. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The Academy's trial mission is not at all comparable to that of the Johnson family, and how can the well-honed Louis be comparable to the flowers in the greenhouse?
Luis has just returned recently, so he's a little busy. On the one hand, he needs to assess his learning progress to determine whether he can keep up with the course. On the other hand, he still has to complete the trial task of the academy, although it is not enough to make up the tasks every year, but the integrated trial task is not easy, especially because he needs to complete it alone, which makes the task even more difficult.
But these are not difficult for Luis, it is nothing more than a matter of time.
When the Johnson family took him home and did not go through the formalities for him to suspend his studies, what kind of idea those people had, fools know, it is nothing more than hoping that the college can expel him from school.
However, those people probably didn't expect him to be able to achieve a good result in the top three freshmen, and not only did he get immunity as a result, but also a lot of points.
Points can be used to purchase any "goods" produced by the Academy, whether mechanical products or various plants, including food, which are also tradable in points. In addition, the points can also get some privileges, for example, Louis came back this time, even if he didn't need to be expelled from school, he had to repeat the grade, but the number of points in his hand was huge, and he could be exchanged for special make-up qualifications, so as long as he completed these assessments, he could also keep up with the footsteps of his classmates in the past.
Of course, this qualification may sound magical, but it has hardly been used in the past. After all, there are very few people like Louis who have just entered school and have taken a leave of absence for other reasons, and even fewer who have been able to keep up with the progress without making up classes.
So most of the time, such regulations are like decorations, and it is only when someone uses them that people are surprised to find that the academy still has such regulations!
Louis does have a lot of points in his hands among freshmen, but after so many years, he has only decreased but not increased, how can he withstand such expenses, and almost when he completes the assessment of various subjects, there are few points left in his hand. Although Si Nian has gained a lot of points because of his contributions to various academies over the years, Luis, who has some machismo in his heart, obviously doesn't want to spend the other party's points.
Louis took the report card sent by the academy and checked his remaining points, and as expected, there were only double digits left.
Louis, who has been working hard outside for many years and has long had a lot of capital, has not tried this feeling of "lack of money" for a long time.
I have to say, it's a really bad feeling.
Points are sometimes better used in the academy than Star Coins, as there are no restrictions on rank or contribution, so they are like a currency unique to the academy.
At the Academy, no points means no money, and Luis certainly couldn't have put up with that.
Fortunately, the way combat cadets earn points is very simple, and he likes it - as long as he keeps fighting.
There are a lot of ways for Luis to score a lot of points, but he doesn't want to be too high-profile. It's not just because of his personality, it's because he doesn't want life in the academy to be too complicated.
After five years of intrigue and various life-and-death struggles, life in the academy is more like an experience and relaxation.
According to Hank, Master Louis came to the Interstellar Academy on vacation.
With this in mind, Luis chose a way to earn points without being known by others, and that was to play against other students on the battle platform.
The Academy has two combat platforms, one is the internal platform of the Star Academy, and the other is a platform connected to the network.
Academy students can use both platforms at will, or use their own terminals to connect with the platforms, and the platforms will pick their opponents to fight according to the mode of their choice, with the winner often earning a lot of points, while the losing side will depend on the situation.
The platform supports real-name registration, but it is not opposed to anonymity.
Louis easily registered two accounts, one for himself and the other for Si Nian.
It stands to reason that non-combat students like Si Nian cannot register anonymously on the combat platform, but there is a network master called hacker in this world.
Luis is not a serious hacker, but it is quite easy to get an account for Si Nian through a small loophole.
As for the question of whether Si Nian wanted to go to the battle platform to play, Luis didn't need to ask, just looking at those sparkling eyes, he knew how much the other party was looking forward to it.
Sure enough, no matter how pure and good the chronology is, the blood and uninhibition in his bones can never be wiped out.
This is the real Si Nian, not some ignorant lamb!
