Chapter 10: The IQ of the Trouble-Making Sartre 3
"Is it really possible? The principal allows you to use your super powers?"
After returning from the principal, the "Liuguang Castle Defense Operation" planned by Tian Yifeng was officially launched.
After listening to Tian Yifeng's analysis of what the principal said, I was completely shocked to learn that the principal actually agreed that we should take some special measures to change the direction of the whole thing.
What should I do? Why do I feel like my worldview is being reshaped?
However, none of this matters, because after discussion among the study group, the first shot of the defense operation was officially fired soon.
So, overnight, every student at Ailey College was shocked by the eye-catching headline written in bold on the forum homepage when they opened the forum:
Do you actually know everyone in your study group?
Hey! Although this title may not seem to be anything special, in the words of the former president Xiangqian, the chief writer, it is:
"Ka-ka! Through my experience of reading all kinds of ancient Chinese novels, I have come to the conclusion that it is often the most common titles that can unleash the most powerful energy. Besides, aren't people in the entire college now opposed to study groups? If you come up with some unconventional titles, people might think you are deliberately trying to attract attention! Only titles that are ordinary yet contain something extraordinary are the best way to go!"
Hearing everyone's doubts, Qianqian, who was typing away on the computer, turned around and rolled his eyes at each of us. His expression seemed to say, "You are a bunch of mortals who don't understand art."
Well! Since the commander of the defense operation, Tian Yifeng, had already been bribed, the rest of us had to reserve our opinions. Therefore, the next day, such an inconspicuous title appeared on the mobile forums of everyone in the school.
However, as mentioned before, because the title was too ordinary, it did not arouse anyone's vigilance at all, so everyone clicked on the post out of curiosity.
Next is the personal writing show of Xiang Qianqian.
She used extremely fair yet very inflammatory language to recount the various honors and good deeds that the four members of the study group had won for the college over the past few years. For example, the all-round genius Tian Yifeng had won countless trophies in various competitions, Lucifer was full of love and went to the orphanage to take care of orphans, Hua Qianye made outstanding contributions to the development of the school's gardening club, and Norn used his influence to improve the quality of the school cafeteria's meals, and so on.
In addition to the usual narration and enumeration, she also, as an ordinary bystander, selected a large number of exaggerated words such as "selfless", "virtuous and talented", "flawless", "shocking and heartbreaking" to express her admiration for the study group. If I didn't know those four people, I would almost think that this was an angel from heaven fallen to the earth.
“Isn’t this… a bit exaggerated?”
After reading the full text, I was stunned by this post, which has an ordinary appearance but is actually fancy inside.
"Where's the exaggeration?" Qianqian frowned in dissatisfaction, rubbing his dark-circled eyes and pouting at me. "You don't know, the fans of the study group used to describe them in a more disgusting way. I have restrained myself a lot to prevent them from thinking we are whitewashing them. Besides, I am the president of the Ancient Drama Club and have written so many scripts. Now I have fallen to the point of writing articles praising them. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Well, it is unethical to casually question the behavior of a professional. I quickly apologized in a good manner: "Yes, yes, you have worked too hard, I will ask Norn to make you a luxurious breakfast!"
After saying that, I ran away quickly.
However, it was proved that Qianqian's skills were not to be underestimated. After just one morning, when I went to the classroom again, I actually heard everyone talking about the study group along the way.
"Come to think of it, the seniors in the study group haven't actually done anything bad. Did we go a little too far the other day?"
"Yes, although they are a little proud, they are very polite to everyone. Even though we questioned them like that, they didn't get angry at all!"
"Ah! Actually, I don't care what their identities are. They are all so handsome. As long as I can take a look at them every day, I will be satisfied!"
"Hehe, me too! Even if the seniors have girlfriends, they can't deprive us of the right to look at handsome guys, right?"
…
The laughter gradually faded away, and I curled my lips as I hid behind a big tree.
The first battle was a success, it seems that we have to implement the second step of the plan!
It seemed like God was helping us. That afternoon, just when we were worrying about when to implement our next plan, a good news came from the school's Academic Affairs Department - Tian Yifeng represented Avery College in the National Mathematical Olympiad last week and won the first prize.
"That's great! This is ironclad proof!"
After school, the six people gathered together again in Liuguang Castle and began to discuss their next plan with great interest.
That’s right, we must take advantage of this recognition opportunity to make a great comeback!
So, at the commendation meeting two days later, after taking the medal from Principal Ai Zeyang, Tian Yifeng stepped forward and stood firmly in front of the microphone.
The morning sun shone through the clouds, as if coating Tian Yifeng with a layer of golden light. At this moment, his royal aura was fully revealed. Even though he was just wearing the uniform of the Avery Academy and standing on the podium, he gave people the feeling of standing on a high throne, making countless people who were looking up at him involuntarily surrender.
"Classmates," he finally spoke. His voice, amplified by the microphone, was less clear and more majestic than usual. "Please allow me to take this opportunity to formally respond to the questions you have raised about the study group."
Tian Yifeng's words caused a frenzy of discussion at the scene. Everyone was surprised that he chose to reply at this time. There was even a teacher from the Academic Affairs Department who was about to step forward to stop him, but was quietly stopped by Principal Ai Zeyang who was about to step down from the stage.
I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stared at Tian Yifeng.
He stood on the stage like a king.
"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone."
His eyes slowly swept across the room, and everyone he saw stopped whispering involuntarily, raised their heads and listened attentively.
"The existence of Flowing Light Castle has always been a legend in the Avery College. This legend was largely caused by the selfishness of the study group." At this point, his tone became low, and a helpless emotion emanated from him. "We have received too much attention in the college, and we really want to have a space that belongs to us. That's why we chose to hide Flowing Light Castle as a secret after applying to the college."
He raised his hand and gently brushed the loose hair on his forehead. A beautiful face appeared on the high-definition display screens on the walls around him, but the face was full of desolation and sadness, making everyone who saw it want to smooth out the sadness between his brows.
"But what I didn't expect was that, in the end, this secret, the last habitat of the study group, was exposed because of some people's excessive curiosity."
The voice of the last sentence suddenly rose, with undisguised dissatisfaction and obvious helplessness, which soon resonated with most of the people in the audience.
"Yeah, what you said makes sense, senior." Seeing the beautiful boy sad, someone couldn't help but say, "If I were surrounded by people every day, I would also hope to have some breathing space!"
"Well, it seems that the seniors had their reasons for hiding the existence of Flowing Light Castle. We have wronged them."
"Alas! It's all our fault that we believed the rumors and caused so much trouble to the seniors. If I have the chance, I will definitely apologize to the seniors!"
…
In the crowd, I couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up in my heart.
Tian Yifeng is indeed Xiang Qianqian's boyfriend. His acting talent is definitely incomparable to that of ordinary people! Looking at his few short sentences, he has actually used his own advantages and frank attitude, coupled with his timely display of weakness, to gain everyone's recognition. It is really impossible not to admire him!
However, this is not enough. Next, we have a killer trick!
Amidst everyone's discussions, Tian Yifeng on the stage spoke again.
"But we were wrong to hide this from everyone. So, Lucifer , Norn, let the three of us, on behalf of Hua Qianye who is not present, solemnly apologize to everyone here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucifer and Norn walked up from the entrance behind the rostrum one after another. Three handsome guys with different styles stood in a row and bent deeply together.
After an eerie silence, the entire venue was filled with joy.
"Oh my god! The seniors are bowing to us. Am I dreaming? My heart is beating so fast. I'm about to faint. What should I do?"
"I want to cry! The seniors should just stand there for us to admire, why do they bend down to us? It's so heartbreaking!"
"Wow, tears are welling up in my eyes. No, I have to take a picture of this scene and keep it as a treasure!"
…
In a corner where no one noticed, Qianqian, Eunseol and I hugged each other tightly.
The three people on the stage, one is a member of the ancient royal family who is second only to the emperor, one is a senior magician in the magic world, and one is an alien prince who never bows to anyone. In order to maintain the existence of Liuguang Castle and to allow each of us to breathe freely in this academy, they lowered their noble heads.
With tearful eyes, I looked at the figure on the far right. His long hair cascaded down from his head, covering his expressionless face. But I knew that at this moment, he must be smiling in his heart because he was doing something that he felt was worthwhile.
Perhaps, it was our shared experience that gave him the courage. Because now, we are all united together, guarding the Flowing Castle together, abiding by the agreement with the Elly Academy together, and guarding the secrets that belong only to us.
No one will come to destroy it again, right?
"They are just quibbling! They are talking nonsense! Don't be fooled by them!"
In the heated atmosphere, suddenly, a depressing voice interrupted, and then an angry figure quickly rushed to the podium from the crowd.
finally come!
I quickly put away my slightly sentimental mood, and together with Eun-seol and Qianqian, I stared closely at the two parties confronting each other on the stage. It seemed that I could see the "crackling" of fire rising between them.
Sure enough, the next moment, Yao Shanshan rushed onto the stage and glared at Nuoen and the other three fiercely, then turned around and shouted to the audience: "What they said is all lies! The real secret of Liuguang Castle, they didn't confess at all!"
"How do you know that what we said is false?"
Unlike Yao Shanshan, the three people in the study group did not show any panic when they heard her sharp questioning. Tian Yifeng even maintained her best demeanor and asked back politely.
"Of course it's fake. Your identities are not what you said just now. You are monsters. I have evidence!"
Yao Shanshan raised her neck with a smug expression as if she had seen through the truth. She also glared at Noen with contempt, as if to say "You're finished."
The students in the audience fell silent for a moment, including the three of us in the corner, all of us were eagerly watching what would happen next.
"Really?" Nuo En still maintained his expressionless look under Yao Shanshan's provocation, but his words made people clearly feel his strong dissatisfaction in his heart, "Since you have evidence, then show it to me!"
"Take it if you want! Who's afraid of who?"
The tough Yao Shanshan seemed to sense the coldness in Nuoen's words and subconsciously took a step back, but soon she regained her pride and took out her cell phone from her pocket: "The evidence is in my phone, let's see how you can deny it this time!"
After saying that, she lowered her head and turned on her cell phone.
But one second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...
A full minute later, Yao Shanshan's face, whose fingers were still swiping furiously on her phone, became increasingly darker, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from her forehead. Her voice of disbelief echoed throughout the entire auditorium.
"How could this happen? Where are the photos I took? And those recordings, they are clearly here, how come I can't find them?"
When things developed to this point, everyone cast their questioning eyes on Yao Shanshan.
"It's not strange that you can't find it. Maybe the evidence was forged by you in the first place. It's normal that it's gone now!"
Lucifer on the side did not hide the disgust in his voice at all. The way he looked at Yao Shanshan was as if he was looking at a crazy villain.
"It's not like that!" Yao Shanshan, who finally broke down, threw her phone to the ground fiercely. She seemed unable to bear this result and became crazy. "It's all your fault! You did all this! I clearly saw Nuoen and Bai Jieni disappearing by the wall together. You are monsters who have destroyed the order of the entire academy! I must correct all this and expose your true colors..."
"Shut up!"
Yao Shanshan wanted to say something, but before she could get her words out, Norn grabbed her collar and lifted her up. Then, in front of everyone's surprised eyes, Norn, who was always known for his silence and mystery, made a series of accusations for the first time.
"I'm telling you, if you have a problem with me personally, it doesn't matter how you slander me, but I absolutely won't allow you to say that about my friends and the people I like! They are the most important to me, ten thousand times more important than your so-called order and discipline! You are a monster without emotions and humanity! You disgusting guy!"
"boom--"
After the angry Noen yelled at Yao Shanshan, he actually let go of her hand without any mercy. Then everyone watched the frightened Yao Shanshan fall to the ground.
"Wow! Senior Norn is so handsome!"
"It's so touching. I never thought that the taciturn senior Norn is such a sentimental person."
"That Yao Shanshan is really annoying. She criticizes people everywhere in school every day. Sometimes she completely wrongly accuses others, but no one dares to speak out!"
"I really don't understand why Yao Shanshan hates the seniors in the study group so much. This time she even forged evidence to frame the seniors. It's so abominable!"
…
Amidst all the discussions, Yao Shanshan fell to the ground with a pale face. She stared at the broken cell phone not far away, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something , but in the end she said nothing. She just silently got up from the ground, picked up her cell phone, and left quietly.
"Actually, she is not a bad person, she is just too paranoid sometimes." Looking at Yao Shanshan's lonely back, I sighed deeply.
"Yes! I hope she can adjust her mindset in the future and stop imposing her own standards on others." Eun-seol also shook her head regretfully.
"I hope she can realize her mistake!" Qianqian sighed, and then her voice became cheerful, "Haha! Anyway, the problem is solved, let's go back and celebrate!"
"Yeah!"
Eun-seol and I smiled at each other, then followed her and ran towards the three people who were walking down the podium.
