Chapter 138: Chapter 138: The Most Awesome Student of the Year

University, ah, university…

I never thought I’d one day find myself in this kind of aristocratic school that’s obviously just there to burn money, a place so full of lavish garden style and brain-dead noble air that it deviated a bit from my initial expectations.

Anyway, it’s not bad…

Actually, upon closer inspection, I realized that those legendary brain-dead, arrogant rich kids aren’t that horrible—although Lin Xue, that super-rich girl, had already proved to me that wealthy people’s characters aren’t necessarily bad. But somehow, I always exclude that crazy girl who constantly causes trouble for me from the category of rich heiresses.

Now, my classmates are basically all from influential families or children of other extraordinary figures, with such distinguished backgrounds, the education they’ve received since childhood is naturally exceptional. Unless they’re some nouveau riche or inherently brain-dead type, most of these students can really be described as humble, polite, and eloquent—or maybe it’s because there are big shots everywhere, and there isn’t an opportunity for them to be arrogant.

Thinking about it again, even though most of them are well-mannered, that doesn’t rule out the existence of black sheep. In fact, lately, Lin Xue, that troublemaker who fears the world might not be chaotic enough, is looking for one or two such black sheep to amuse herself…

...

Stranded in Bailin Academy, which is practically equivalent to a small city with its splendid grandeur rivaling royal gardens, I’m once again amazed by the wealth of that super-rich Lin Xue.

Despite repeatedly stating that compared to herself, it’s the Xyrin Emperor who’s the real disgraceful nouveau riche—getting the Imperial Army to sell skewered mutton out on the streets…

That crazy girl, does she think I want those pesky Commanders to start guerrilla warfare with the city management on the streets every day! The problem is, if they don’t go out, who knows whether they’ll get a wild idea and stage some cheesy Alien invasion drama!

“I want to sleep…” On the so-called neuron slaughterhouse that is the German class, Qianqian finally couldn’t hold out and had collapsed. If only we’d known, why did we let our curiosity get the better of us and sign up for this damn course…

“You look like you just woke up,” I said, between laughter and tears, to the girl who looked all dazed.

“Oh… that’s why, no wonder I can’t sleep even though I keep yawning… But I really do want to sleep…”

Just then, a low voice suddenly came from behind us, “You two, the atmosphere is already soporific enough, please don’t entice everyone else’s sleepiness…”

Without turning my head, I knew it was Liu Feng, known as the most diligent student in the college, a tall and skinny man emitting an aura of scholarly dedication. It’s said that he once set a shocking record of locking himself in the library for three full days and nights, surviving on instant noodles until he was finally rescued by his housekeeper. Seeing such a formidable student among these who never have to worry about their future prospects is really surprising, and what’s more, I’m astonished that this formidable bookworm also maintains the school’s lowest—inversely proud—grade record. Why do I say ‘proud’?

While we were drowsy, a strange atmosphere suddenly erupted.

It was as if some incredibly important figure had arrived.

Indeed, the next second, a petite figure appeared at the door and walked straight towards me without glancing around.

Along the way, she caused a stir of murmurs.

Pandora… cough, Pan Lili, a super-genius beautiful girl with an IQ of 290, an eternally silent and blind girl, a legendary character who, in order to stay with her brother, blitzed through high school and freshman college courses in three months and was enrolled in this school, an ultimate Loli who has countless admirers… ahem, drifting off…

In short, she has unfathomable strength and always maintains the least presence but somehow manages to capture the most attention—an absolute Loli!

A mere twelve or thirteen-year-old Loli, yet with the second-highest grades in such an aristocratic higher education institution. And what’s more, she is a blind girl—how much attention could such an identity attract?

There’s no suspense.

Though many people feel pity or at least show a friendly attitude towards Pandora, there are also quite a few classmates who behave as if she’s some sort of Monster, avoiding her and hardly concealing their envy—this is evident from the quiet discussions of the students she passes by, discussions that couldn’t be described as kind-hearted.

But Pandora doesn’t seem interested in any of that. She strides over to the seat beside me and sits down as if no one else is there.

“Pretentious bastards…”

“Pfft… a blind man…”

“Acting all high and mighty…”

The murmuring continued, but the person in question behaved as if she heard nothing at all.

I rubbed my hands together and whispered to Qianqian, “It seems that the entertainment activity Sandora launched last time, making a thousand people kneel and sing ‘The East Is Red’ in the square, wasn’t exciting enough!”

“You guys are really good at messing with people…”

Sigh, I had no other choice, did I? Who could stand by while their precious little sister was bullied? As a noble brother… ahem, as the Xyrin Emperor, if I couldn’t even protect my own sister, how could I govern the Empire?

But on the other hand, Pandora’s behavior of following me everywhere, even entering the school in such a conspicuous manner, truly gave me a headache. Perhaps this was her unique childlike way of doing things?

“Brother, I’m bored…”

Just then, Pandora suddenly spoke up.

Completely unaware that she should keep her voice down in the classroom.

The German professor on the podium, already irritated by Pandora’s late entry causing a small commotion, had been tolerating her behavior only because he’d heard that this peculiarly genius little girl was related to Miss Lin Xue. But now the girl showed no signs of restraint, instead escalating her behavior in class with such comments, which caused the slightly plump middle-aged man to lose his composure at last.

“Pandora Pan!” a high-pitched voice suddenly came from the podium, filled with barely restrained anger, “Please mind your classroom discipline! Even if you’re excellent, don’t think you can do whatever you please because of it!”

“Boring, nagging, inefficient teaching methods— and also, rude.”

Pandora stated in a matter-of-fact tone, using the voice she most commonly used to communicate with strangers.

Immediately, there was an uproar around.

The German professor was a person of prestige, and although I couldn’t see what was special about him, apparently— according to the all-knowing informers— Professor Gu could discuss quantum physics in four different languages at the same time, a cool character indeed. Coupled with a bit of academic success, this led to the professor’s incredibly self-important temperament. He always considered himself a remarkable individual and maintained an air of superiority, but ever since he came to this formidable school where even the gatekeepers required masters’ degrees with high salaries, he felt his coolness had nowhere to show, realizing that even his level of expertise wasn’t exceptionally outstanding here. As they say, under pressure, you either get stronger or weirder— he took on the latter change, starting to resent any student with extraordinary talent.

Like the super-genius loli, Pandora Pan, who was admitted at the age of thirteen.

The standoff between Pandora and the professor suddenly made the dull classroom come alive. Everyone shifted their gaze back and forth between the professor and Pandora, holding sentiments of sympathy, anxiety, or anticipation for a spectacle. Liu Feng, who sat behind me, was kind-hearted, sensing trouble and immediately whispering, “Chen Jun, quickly talk to your sister. I know she only listens to you.”

Hmm, that was theoretically true, but in this situation, do you really think a unilateral surrender from Pandora would work?

Sure enough, the prestigious expert in quantum physics, fluent in four languages, wasn’t about to let Pandora off that easily. He coughed loudly to draw everyone’s attention, then lifted his chin to say, “It seems, Miss Pandora Pan, that you are quite dissatisfied with my teaching methods. Very well, then, I’d like for you to express your views on my teaching in standard German. Such a request shouldn’t be too much, should it? At least I’m giving you a chance to prove you’re better than the teacher!”

His plan was cunning, for he had heard that this young girl, despite her brilliance, hadn’t been exposed to German before coming to this school— German is not a language typically taught in regular junior high schools. And even if her amazingly efficient little brain could memorize all German vocabulary and grammar in three months, mastering its application was improbable.

Sometimes, intelligence isn’t enough to solve everything!
