Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Nerd, the Warm Man and the Vase
“... He taught the ancient Egyptians the art of navigation, building, alchemy, astrology, and philosophy, and he was known as the eternal wise man, great philosopher, priest, and king... What is his name, please? It's up to you, Mandy, to answer this question. The professor slapped the whiteboard on the podium, and it buzzed.
The moment she heard her name, Mandy woke up from her sleep, reflexively stood up, her eyes were a little photophobic, and it took two or three seconds to adjust to the light in the classroom, and she chuckled in her heart when she saw the professor's expressionless face behind the podium.
"It's the third time." The professor said, "It's time to deduct your grades. ”
"Yes." Mandy sat down in frustration.
On the podium, the professor continued to explain the story of the jade slate and Hermes, and the students in the uniforms of the Kassel Academy sat in a standard posture, either pensively or with their heads bowed, and everyone was taking notes on the lesson plan in a rustling voice, and it was a fascination to listen to it.
Mandy also wants to fit into this environment, but every time she wants to meditate, she can't help but deepen into a meditative state, kick her legs and drool a little or something - she stayed up late last night to watch Japanese dramas, it was too late, and the prime-time "Witch Trial" was so exciting that she couldn't help but watch a few more episodes, and the sky was already dark, completely forgetting that there was an alchemy class in the morning.
Fortunately, today's professor talked about theoretical knowledge and history, if she really wants to get started with those precision utensils, she is afraid that she will have to reproduce the operation of the cow man who blew up the classroom last time.
However, Rao was still caught dozing off, this is the third time she has been arrested this semester, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to get a score in the final alchemy class as soon as her grades are deducted.
"Ah———h
It is said that the Kassel Academy is a paradise for elites and geniuses, and she thinks that she must have run to the wrong place, maybe she is not a half-breed at all, just a little white rabbit who has mixed into the dragon's nest. After others enter the school, they are all diligent in cultivation, shouldering the great task of slaying dragons and the fate of human beings, and they can't wait to have twenty-four hours a day to refine dragon slaying techniques, and she... She longed for 48 hours a day, 24 hours of sleep, and 24 hours of watching dramas.
Is she wrong, is she really wrong! Shouldn't a young girl's energy be focused on chasing stars and dramas? Probably when the Dragon King debuted as an idol, maybe Mandy will have a chance to win the half-race elite seat.
The professor of the alchemy class talked about the jade record and the pyramid for a whole class, blowing that it is the key to refining the stone of the philosopher, and the person who blows the thirteen secret words on it can control the origin secret of all things in heaven and earth, and each of the students showed expectant eyes, and Mandy's eyes were also full of expectation, but they were thinking that the bell of the class would ring...
So the bell rang, Mandy sighed, the professor packed up his lesson and left, and when he left, he glanced at the blonde girl lying on the table with a look of lamentation and anger.
"Mandy, you look so bad." The brown-haired girl at the next table gathered her books and accosted Mandy.
"If you watch the show all night, your face will be as bad as mine." Mandy said with a bitter face.
"That depends on the time of the next day's lesson." The brown-haired girl rubbed Mandy's hair: "Professor Vons is very careful, you slept in his class, or you slept three times in a row and were caught, you have to be mentally prepared for the final grades of this class." ”
"That's the end of it." Mandy suddenly rubbed his hair into a mess with his hands and looked depressed: "I guess Professor Mance's class has to be hung up, I was completely listening to the books of heaven in the last class, and sitting in my seat feels like I am redundant." ”
"If you continue like this, you won't be able to complete your studies if you don't have enough credits." The brown-haired girl sighed: "You are really nervous, aren't you nervous when you watch the drama?" In other words, if I knew that there was a class tomorrow morning, I wouldn't be able to sleep without studying the textbook three times. ”
"Of course nervous!" Mandy sighed: "The difference between having a class the next day and not being able to watch a drama for me is to watch the drama with confidence and watch the drama nervously..."
"This." The brown-haired girl scratched her head, as if there was nothing she could do about the hopeless salted fish girl.
"Credits, credits, grades, grades." Mandy packed up the book and stood up and stretched: "Why am I not a genius, I can memorize the book after reading it, so that I don't need to memorize the book while drinking milk." ”
"Actually, if you don't have enough credits, if you're worried that you won't be able to graduate, there are other ways." The brown-haired girl looked at the depressed Mandy and hesitated for a moment and said: "You can go to the executive department to take the initiative to apply for field tasks, I recently heard that there is a shortage of people in the executive department, and a field service is considered a credit for a professional course, and your credits are probably enough for a few more field services..."
"Is there such a thing?" Mandy was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the executive department the most taboo to use 'child labor'?" ”
"After the last mission in Chicago, the executive department changed the rules, and the minister felt that those who can work harder, and the new young seedlings should be more devastated by the storm in order to thrive, so now students above the second year can take the initiative to apply for field assignments, but you have to repatriate the body before the mission." The brown-haired girl said: "After all, our college is not a place to cultivate nerds, students who are interested in developing in the direction of scientific research can just chew books, and students who are not good at learning can naturally graduate by going out to work." ”
"What a human touch." Mandy sighed: "But what if the field mission fails? ”
"Withhold your basic credits, or repatriate your body..."
"Wow." Mandy sighed with a bitter face: "Sisters, do you think I look like a person from the actual combat faction?" ”
"I think your fitness test was B+, right? You are more like a practical person than a scientific research direction. The brown-haired girl tilted her head to look at the well-proportioned Mandy, and when her eyes fell on her waist, a touch of regret quietly passed: "It's just that you need to eat more vegetarian recently..."
"Hey! Hey! I'm not fat, okay? Mandy covered her waist and shouted, "I haven't been drinking Coke lately... Switched to Fanta! ”
"It makes no difference." The brown-haired girl shrugged: "By the way, those who apply to the Executive Department for field tasks can form a team, you know what I mean, right?" ”
Mandy was stunned for a moment, and a light welled up in the corners of her eyes: "What do you mean..."
"It's okay to cheat." The brown-haired girl lowered her voice: "Before coming to Kassel, you participated in a similar competition in mathematical modeling, right?" It's like that kind of competition, where there is always a nerd, a warm man, and a vase, and the nerd is responsible for modeling and defense, the vase is responsible for the vase, and the warm man is responsible for making the vase..."
"And I'm the vase." Mandy blinked.
"You do have the material to be a vase, but you still lack a nerd and a warm man." Brunette girl shrugged.
"But the field mission of the executive department is not the Olympiad Modeling Competition, it is going to die, and I don't want to hurt the nerds." Mandy softened again: "The vase is not so easy to be a vase, and there is no such awesome person in my social circle who can take me on field tasks with kindness." ”
"But don't you have a junior brother who can fight?" Said the brunette girl.
"Senior brother?" Mandy was stunned: "But he's only a freshman." ”
"The freshman who can turn over the 'A' class dangerous hybrids, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, sisters." The brunette girl patted Mandy on the shoulder and gave her a thumbs up.
"This is child labor, right?" Mandy sighed, "He's only 16 years old. ”
"A 16-year-old who can turn over a dangerous mixed race of 'A' class." The brown-haired girl said: "I didn't let you go to the pit to be abducted, just tell the truth, and ask him if he wants to partner in a mission, you will be a vase and he will be a thug." ”
"What's in it for people?" Mandy pouted: "I take credits and people fight to death as a tool man?" This senior sister is too embarrassed, I feel ashamed. ”
The brown-haired girl looked Mandy up and down again, smiled, slapped the girl's rear headlight, and trotted out of the classroom humming a song as the other person screamed.
"Damn little bitch smash!" Mandy waved her fist and rubbed her ass, and after a while, she sighed and lay on the table and stared blankly at the whiteboard full of patterns and patterns: "Field mission..."
