Chapter 58 Imposters and Real Geniuses
Chapter 58 Imposters and Real Geniuses
In order to replace the "Thousand Faces" position, Saki Seki studied for nine years!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a "scholar of apologies".
Even if you brought Su Shi himself, you wouldn't dare guarantee that he could beat him!
……
The comments section was filled with people seeing how pathetic Lao Yue was, acting so "humble" in front of Qi Ji, all for the sake of a three-day holiday...
Those Tsukimi fans who had gone on a rampage and tried to take advantage of Tsukimi's sudden surge in popularity just a couple of days ago suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"It's so embarrassing that the character I like is fawning over the character I hate..."
There are indeed viewers with this mentality in the comments section.
As for Saki's fans, they were extremely pleased with themselves.
"Where's Yue Xiaogui? Speak up! Wasn't he acting pretty arrogant these past few days?"
"Is your brother Ji more powerful or Haji Yue more powerful? Huh???"
Of course, there were also some dissenting voices:
"Hilarious! I boldly predict that Su Shi will win. Can you feel it?"
"Saki has ten defeats, but Su Shi has ten victories!"
"Oh Nege! Lead us to that damn victory, Sushi! We'll do anything!"
"That's right, Su Shi will be the winner! This is the superior class's overwhelming advantage over the ordinary class, the absolute suppression of aristocratic geniuses by commoner brats!"
"The strongest from the elite families vs. the strongest from the commoners!"
The people who post these kinds of comments are a diverse group.
Some are "extreme fans" of Tsukimi who have temporarily "switched" to Sushi's camp, just to criticize Saki.
Some are simply "rebuttal types," who like to portray themselves as the "only sober one in a world of drunks"—a minority.
Of course, some viewers, after careful analysis, genuinely favor Su Shi.
After all, the plaintiff has a very powerful background and a deep connections.
The Thousand Faces family is one of the three major Echoing Families of the City of Fire, possessing astonishing heritage.
Su Shi is the most outstanding genius of the Thousand Faces family in this generation.
He showed his talent from a young age, and the resources and training he received were top-notch.
Compared to Saki, Susei's record is equally impressive.
He crushed his peers all the way up, without a single defeat!
In the minds of many, the "power" of appealing to the world is more orthodox and more convincing.
In short, amidst such debates and arguments, the time for the joint practical course was approaching.
Tsukimi, unusually proactive, led the Class 8 members to the training ground ahead of time.
The students from Class One were already waiting there.
Each of them possessed a refined aura and extraordinary temperament, highlighting the uniqueness of the elite class.
And when Saki, who hadn't shown up for a month, finally appeared today, the moment he stepped onto the training field with Class 8—
All eyes in the room turned to Saki.
They were quite curious about this student who had been making headlines recently.
As a top-tier class, their only interaction with Class 8 was the practical assessment at the beginning of the semester.
At the time, although Qi Ji's masked appearance was somewhat similar to that of Su Shi in their class, it left a slight impression.
However, they had no idea about Qi Ji's true strength.
All I remember is that on that day, they finished clearing their assigned crevice areas early during the assessment. It was a long time before the students from Class 8 finally arrived and barely managed to complete the assessment.
Although, Saki did indeed take first place in the individual points of both classes later on.
But many students in Class 1 felt that there might have been an element of luck involved.
After all, if someone were really that good, they should have been specially admitted to Class 1 when they enrolled, right?
Those who can enter the elite class are all students with talent and background, and at least one outstanding quality. They are all more or less arrogant.
In fact, a large portion of them came specifically hoping to see the imposters from the regular class exposed in front of the real geniuses.
Especially the boys.
I'm a little envious of how Saki Saku puts on a mask, hides his face that he's too ashamed to show, and markets himself as a stunningly handsome man, thus attracting a group of girls to chase after him...
Bah! I misspoke, it should be contempt!
They look down on it!
Saki's methods to attract the opposite sex are truly despicable!
Why didn't they think of this...?
Seeing that everyone from both classes had arrived, Ms. Huang Lu, the teacher of Class One, looked at Yue Jian, who was once again slacking off and reading a novel, and asked for his opinion:
"Tsukimi-sensei, do you think we should continue with the regular lessons according to the curriculum, or...?"
Upon hearing this, Tsukimi immediately looked up from the romance novel in her hands and impatiently interrupted the other person, saying:
"Why bother with classes? Let those two brats fight it out first! After they're done, I'll have a holiday..."
Lao Yue's little thoughts were practically written all over her face.
When Su Shi heard what Teacher Yuejian said, she seemed to think that "Saki is bound to win," and her delicate eyebrows under the mask furrowed almost imperceptibly.
She stepped forward, bowed slightly to Teacher Huang Lu, and spoke calmly, with an undeniable confidence:
"Teacher Huang, let me and Qi Ji have our competition first."
Anyway, it's a practical course, and practical experience is the best teaching method.
After our battle, you can then combine our practical experience with explanations and analyses.
I think this will be more helpful to students in both classes.
The proposal to appeal to the world was reasonable, and almost everyone present looked on with anticipation.
Teacher Huang Lu glanced at the eager students, and then at Yuejian, who looked like she wanted to finish quickly so she could go home.
Finally, his gaze swept over the calm Qi Ji and the confident Su Shi, and he finally smiled and nodded:
"Alright, then let's do as Su Shi said, and you two can have a friendly exchange first."
but--
There are still a few minutes left before the scheduled start time for class.
Let's wait a little longer and give the two students some time to prepare and get ready, shall we?
Although everyone was eager to see the two super geniuses among the first-year students clash, it was only a few minutes, so they could wait.
Moreover, Teacher Huang Lu's thoughtful consideration, allowing both parties time to prepare, makes the presentation more formal and professional.
Upon hearing this, the crowd suppressed their eagerness and began whispering among themselves, discussing who was stronger, who would win, and speculating about the possible battle.
However, the next second, noisy footsteps came from outside the training field.
Everyone turned to look at the sound and were surprised to find that Ms. Jing, the class teacher of Class 3, was leading more than 20 students from her class to the training ground!
"Teacher Huang Lu, Teacher Yue Jian, would you mind if I brought my students to observe and learn from you?"
Ms. Jing, the teacher in Class 3, is a beautiful female teacher with the appearance of a well-bred lady.
Teacher Huang Lu smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course you're welcome."
No sooner had he finished speaking than another commotion came from the entrance of the training ground!
Class 2, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7... the other classes in the first grade all arrived one after another!
Even some older students who got the news secretly skipped class or made up an excuse to sneak over and hide behind the crowd or on the high stands of the training field to join in the fun.
The scene grew larger and larger, the number of onlookers increased, and the atmosphere became more and more heated...
The Class 8 members, who had initially been full of confidence in Saki, couldn't help but start to feel nervous for him.
