Chapter 8: The Circus
"Just laugh, I'll see how long you can laugh!" Bai Su sneered, he had already expected Yan Zhen's schadenfreude virtue.
"You can't blame me, it was you who insisted on giving up 'Hongluan' and exploring the 'Secret Sea' star position instead, you have been sitting in the position of the head of the sword star position for almost two years, and your business level as a lecturer has not improved at all~"
Yan Zhen's words were sharp and straightforward, ordinary people might sound a little harsh, but Bai Su, who was a student, couldn't refute it at all.
“... I chose this path by myself, and I have not made any progress in the past two years, and I have let you down. ”
"You don't have to, I can't listen to this kind of thing, I feel sorry for myself and stay in the bed and tell myself, as long as you still want to explore the star position, you have to continue to resist me in this position!"
As a teacher, Yan Zhen has never taken the path of "intimate and warm men".
Whatever you want, I can meet it!
When encountering setbacks and difficulties, I hid and cried secretly!
Asking for comfort, there has never been such a thing!
The only requirement for students is that they can't slack off even half a step!
This is Yan Zhen's tough style as the principal of Nanmen Martial Arts School!
"Of course I'm not going to give up... By the way, there is one thing I want to ask you, there is a new student in the sword star position, his sword is born with an aura of grief and destruction, in my impression, there seems to be no similar star position in the school, right? ”
Bai Su was just depressed for a moment, and once again returned to his usual cold and calm image.
"Destruction? Could it be a 'pack of wolves'? No, if it's the 'wolves' position, it shouldn't be grief, it's violence..."
Yan Zhen thought seriously for a moment, and shook his head lightly at Bai Su:
"There are a total of 27 known sword star positions in the school, and none of them possess the trait of grief and destruction at the same time... Is this new student you are talking about the honest little guy? ”
“... His name is Su Jinqiu, and he just touched the star position yesterday, which is strange to say, his star position affinity is obviously only 7%, why can he successfully summon a weapon? ”
Bai Su said and frowned, she still remembered the unreasonable shock she felt when she saw the numbers displayed on the star crystal.
"Isn't it weird? The star positions collected in the school are all from the information released by Star City, the description is detailed, the ability is clear, and it is most suitable for new students who are just starting out, Su Jinqiu's sword is so unreasonable, then there is only one possibility..."
"You mean, he touched an unknown star?!"
Being reminded by Yan Zhen, Bai Su was instantly empowered, and all kinds of strange things about Su Jinqiu's body seemed to make sense.
"If that's the case, Xiaobai, you need a snack." Yan Zhen said in a low voice.
"Teacher, I understand."
Bai Su nodded solemnly, as the director of the Sword Star Position, she naturally understood how important it was for the school to discover the unknown Star Position.
"I'll come back early this time, and I have one more thing to ask you, the capital ranking battle has been put forward on the side of the Star City, and you sword star position, it's time for someone to come out..."
As soon as Yan Zhen's words fell, Bai Su's face suddenly sank, and he seemed to be very repulsed by this "capital ranking battle".
"Teacher, I really don't understand, isn't this so-called 'Capital Ranking Battle' all the first-class universities in Star City pretending to be like this? In the past, which schools competed with them for rankings, didn't they all become their foils, so as to show the prestige of the 'first university'? Why should we..."
"Xiaobai, when you were a student by my side, did I interfere with your choice?"
Before Bai Su finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Zhen.
“... No. ”
Whether it was the choice to give up "Hongluan" or explore the "Secret Sea" instead, it was Bai Su's own decision, and Yan Zhen never said a word from beginning to end.
"As a teacher, I have never been willing to interfere with students' choices, because it's your own life... And as a principal, I have to fight! ”
"The students of the South Gate Martial Arts School should shrink in the corner and spend their lives in peace? Is this a choice you make for them? Xiaobai, you remember my words, I am fighting for my head outside, not for prestige or fame, I just want my students to be closer to the stars! ”
“......”
The teacher and student fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.
"There are still about two months before the official notice comes down, so you should think about the candidate for the sword star position..."
Looking at the tall back that gradually faded away, Bai Su's mood was very complicated.
"Hey! What for? ”
Su Jinqiu patted the sneaky Tong Bo, and the other party was instantly frightened.
"Ah Qiu! You're going to scare me to death! ”
Tong Bo turned his head and found that it was him, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and the small note in his hand also quietly fell to the ground.
"What is this? Signal? ”
Su Jinqiu picked up the note on the ground and found that there was a string of vague characters written on it, and he couldn't see any meaning.
"Shhhh Be quiet, this is a voucher for entering the 'circus'! ”
"Circus?"
In the small city of South Gate, there are more than a dozen fighting arenas, large and small, and they have combined with each other to form an alliance-like fighting organization, hold leagues, and also bring out many "star players", which is a very popular entertainment project.
And in the shadows of the city, the little-known secret places, are also carrying out a feast of blood and death matches.
Those who know how to call it a "circus" may be self-deprecating, comparing those who participate in a death match to monkeys for their amusement...
The more realistic and bloody circus obviously attracts more money and bloodthirsty spectators than the glamorous arena.
The controllers behind the circus are also the owners of these dozen or so fighting arenas, who make a profit on the surface and another in secret, firmly grasping the audience at the south gate.
"I finally got this voucher, and it cost me a lot of star coins!" Tong Bo took the small note in Su Jinqiu's hand and carefully put it in his pocket.
"Why don't you just go to the arena and see it? The most expensive ticket is only 600 Star Coins. ”
"Come on, what kind of fighting arena, fake to death, rub a little skin and lie on the ground squeaking and screaming, it's just an insult to my IQ!" Tong Bo replied with disdain on his face.
"You, a martial arts student, go to see an underground death match, aren't you afraid that the lecturer of the gun star position will trouble you?" Su Jinqiu asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm not going to watch, I'm going to fight!"
"Huh?"
"Recently, my affinity training has not made much progress, and the actual combat skills and physical training courses have not helped much, so I just want to have a real actual battle, hoping to touch the gun star position in one fell swoop!"
Su Jinqiu looked at him carefully, he really didn't expect that his old friend could fight so hard in order to touch the star position?
"Don't worry, I've already asked the lecturer, and he said it's okay, as long as it doesn't spread wantonly in the school, the school can turn a blind eye." Tong Bo said proudly.
"This voucher... How about I help you with half of the Star Coins? ”
Su Jinqiu touched his chin, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"Really!? Woo woo, Ah Qiu, worthy of my best friend..."
"On one condition, you have to take me with you."
"Huh?"
