Aaron?
The principal recognized this name, as he was also one of the students who was reported.
The solemnity of his high position made him unable to tolerate vomiting in an open class.
"Let him stop." The principal asked Teacher Ruan with a grim face.
"Student Yulia, that's enough." Teacher Ruan said coldly.
Wen Shi's nose twitched; he caught a faint fishy scent from the principal. From such close proximity, a faint white mist seemed to surround his dark eyes. His sticky sclera trembled, and the principal's gaze snapped into focus, like a ferocious jackal awakened, staring unkindly at Wen Shi, who was observing him.
Wen Shi was not frightened and raised the trash can in his hand: "It seems you don't need this anymore."
He returned to his seat and said to Jian Qingrong with a slight frustration: "Every time I try to please the leader, I am always rejected."
The same thing happened the last time I tried to please Ao.
Jian Qingrong didn't know when he had replaced the gauze on his eyes. "Then replace him."
With the zombie's inspiration, all the players in the classroom regained their confidence.
Teacher Ruan gestured for Youshi to sit down, and he left a '-10' on the roster with an expressionless face.
If it wasn't a quiz with a maximum deduction of ten points, he would have added another zero.
"Aaron." Teacher Ruan continued to call the roll.
Xiao Li, who was sitting against the wall, felt relieved. At the moment, those who were called out first were those whose identities were questionable.
If his judgment was correct, the blood test of the person named Yulia failed.
A Zhuang spoke in a hoarse voice: "It's not our turn yet."
Xiao Li nodded.
Wen Shi was inspired by You Shi's singing. He had no talent in singing and could only sing a few tunes occasionally.
"That is a sun shining on…"
After singing ten words, he only sang one out of tune. Wen Shi was very good at making amends and whispered innocently, "Sorry, teacher, Yulia's singing has been lingering in my mind."
He didn't tell me the reason why he couldn't get rid of it, so Youshi thought he was being praised.
This was an impeccable reason, so Teacher Ruan forgave him and did not deduct points from the roster.
To prevent the students who followed from being affected, he asked the principal for permission and said, "Let's take a fifteen-minute break early."
During the break, some students went to the bathroom, leaving the rest of the group sitting in their seats. Worried about being called out later, the players were practically hating the zombies; they'd completely forgotten what the original melody sounded like.
"That's, that's..." A player sitting in the first row was trying to find the tune, his patience gradually losing, "That's his ancestor's..."
He was unlucky as Teacher Ruan heard him and after gently asking the student's name, he deducted points from him.
"Don't insult music." Teacher Ruan said solemnly.
Wen Shi looked at the roster that would determine the students' daily scores, and thought quietly, should he not insult the music, or not insult this song.
According to the lyrics, "A Warm Sunny Day" is about a sunny day when a group of people go out to sea to play fishing and have a big harvest.
It praises the hard work of fishermen and is also a song of suffering for those caught.
Wen Shi poked Jian Qingrong's palm with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
It was a question without any beginning or end, but Jian Qingrong understood it.
Just like how he had disguised himself as a factory worker, the mermaid had most likely infiltrated the school. He could be a cafeteria attendant, a student... or perhaps a tutor or school leader.
Some special species do not have an intermediate zone. They are either extremely beautiful or extremely ugly. Judging from the several extremely beautiful special recruits this time and the mermaids we saw last night, most mermaids belong to the former.
Then the scope is narrowed down to mentors and students.
The instructor who came today, Mr. Ruan, was a smiling tiger, and showed no signs of letting students off the hook, but he would show a slight fluctuation when students insulted the lyrics; the other cold male instructor was naturally more attractive to girls with his good qualities, and some female students took a second look at him during breaks; the last female instructor had red hair and white skin, and looked quite exotic, but she had a masculine appearance.
Compared with boys, more girls pay attention to her.
The information gained from appearance alone was too scarce. Jian Qingrong narrowed his eyes and said, "We'll know after the autopsy."
Wen Shi: "…"
The break time passed quickly.
No player made the low-level mistake of being late, so the lesson started over.
Teacher Ruan began the brutal roll call: "Ni Tao."
The player who was called up sang quite standardly, with clear pronunciation and melodious voice. Teacher Ruan didn't react much after listening to it. She just nodded and said, "Not bad, you have some basic skills."
He left his mark on the roster again.
Wen Shi saw it clearly and saw that he only drew two strokes in total, so it was likely that he was deducting points.
Ji Yuanzhi's glasses were quite clever, and he gave the answer directly: "Minus one point."
It's obvious that Ni Tao has some musical background, maybe he studied vocal music, but he still can't reach the passing line in his mentor's mind.
Song Yan: "Doesn't that mean that every student who is called out in class will have points deducted?"
Wen Shi nodded.
There is one disadvantage of exposing your possible mermaid identity: you are at risk of having all your daily points deducted at any time.
During the nearly two-hour class, Mr. Ruan called out the names of 22 students. He then put down the roster and began to explain some music theory. The moment the bell rang, Mr. Ruan finished his class on time.
The second class will be held in a different building, the Yayin Building.
Wen Shi left through the front door. The principal had no intention of continuing to attend the open class. He sat in his original seat and talked to the tutor, waiting for the students to leave first.
When Wen Shi passed by him, he smelled the unpleasant fishy and salty smell again. The source of this smell was unknown. It seemed that it was only in his mouth, but it also seemed to be diffused in every pore.
Most of the players were sitting in the back seat, and only a few came out of the front door. After looking around to make sure no one was around, Wen Shi said, "The principal smells really weird."
Fishy smell?
Song Yan thought his five senses were quite sharp, but he couldn't smell it.
Wen Shi looked at Jian Qingrong and Ji Yuanzhi in turn, and the two of them also shook their heads.
The unanimous denial made Wen Shi begin to doubt himself.
Jian Qingrong found this unsurprising: "It's normal for cats to be sensitive to the smell of fish."
Wen Shi: "...I'm not a cat."
It was just a body transformation.
Jian Qingrong got back to the point: "The chances of the principal being a mermaid are slim. I'm afraid the smell comes from somewhere else."
If a mermaid becomes the principal, this academy will be a completely different place. At least the mermaids in the dark will no longer have to hide.
The Yayin Building faces the shade, and the wind from outside blowing into the corridor brings a bit of coolness.
The morning was filled with large classes, and the last two periods were musical appreciation classes. The teacher was just an ordinary teacher, and he also called out twenty-two names. This time, Wen Shi was not spared. Thanks to Ji Yuanzhi's glasses, he knew he had been deducted points.
Before get out of class ended, the teacher looked disappointed and said, "You are the worst class I have ever taught. Students who didn't answer the questions today should go to the library to study tonight. I don't want you to not even know the basic concepts of musical theatre."
Including Wen Shi, twenty-two unsuccessful students received the task prompt:
[Side Quest: Evening Study
Task content: At the teacher's request, you need to go to the study room on the second floor of the library to study for hours.
Tip: The time for evening self-study starts after 10 o'clock.
The teacher said with a cold face, "I will tell the library security and the dormitory management, and I hope that the students will study hard and not be lazy."
"Yes." The students responded obediently.
As soon as she walked out of the classroom, one player's face immediately changed. "This dungeon is simply killing people with a blunt knife."
Wen Shi also had a deep understanding of this.
It's too mild.
It's like a piece of light music, flowing slowly, and the players are like frogs wandering in the sea of music, being simmered over low heat.
Song Yan: "Boss, is there anything I can do for you?"
Accompanying him could only make things worse, but he could sponsor some points to support him. After coming out of the last copy and upgrading the mirror, Song Yan still had nearly 15,000 points.
Wen Shi sighed: "Just keep the door open."
By the time he gets back, it will be half past one at the earliest.
Players who were not named did not necessarily have the qualifications to study late at night, and Ji Yuanzhi could not accompany them.
Before Jian Qingrong spoke, Wen Shixian asked, "Is the building you sponsored a library?"
"no."
Wen Shi waved his hand: "Then you stay too."
There were no classes in the afternoon, so Wen Shi planned to go to the library to check out the situation before lunch, but was stopped outside by the security guard.
"Show me your student ID."
Wen Shi: "New students only have campus cards."
The security guards performed their duties mechanically: "No entry without a permit."
Wen Shi had a vague idea: "The teacher asked me to come."
Unfortunately, the security guard didn't buy it at all: "Teacher E called and said, but poor students can only come at night."
Wen Shi turned around helplessly. At the bottom of the library stairs, Ji Yuanzhi and Song Yan were looking at another place.
Wen Shi looked over there and saw construction going on with cranes. It looked like they were building a building.
"Didn't they say the school is closed recently?" It turns out that it only targets students and the engineering team can enter without restriction.
Jian Qingrong said calmly, "This is the building I donated. When it's completed, it will be named Nianwen Building."
Wen Shi: "…"
You are still alive, what are you thinking about?
The afternoon also passed without incident.
Wen Shi sat in his dorm, feeling a little restless. He suspected the game was deliberately targeting him. He was used to playing dungeons at a fast pace, and this was making it difficult for him to concentrate.
Ji Yuanzhi was resting in bed. Without opening his eyes, he knew what Wen Shi was thinking. He said in a low voice, "S-level copies have a deadline, no matter how slow they are. Something is bound to happen tonight."
Neither the library nor the dormitory is safe.
However, if we really compare the difficulty, the risk in the dormitory is definitely lower than that in the library.
"That's right, today is already the first day."
After Wen Shi finished speaking, the air was silent for a second.
The two of them subconsciously looked at Jian Qingrong. It only took them about a day to clear "Dachang".
Wen Shi thought: I am so awesome.
Ji Yuanzhi looked at Jian Qingrong and thought: This person is no good.
The cup was empty, and Jian Qingrong walked out silently and honestly to help Wen Shi get some hot water.
Xiao Li and A Zhuang also happened to go to the cafeteria to buy water, and it seemed that they were going to drink mineral water to the end.
Wen Shi stared at the position of bed number one: "I will go to the library to study, and my good roommates also contributed to this."
He turned to look at Ji Yuanzhi: "If it's convenient, let's change roommates."
Ji Yuanzhi opened his eyes and said, "The number of new students is fixed. If a building can't be fully occupied, there won't be new rooms for them even if they die..."
The voice paused.
He thought of Wen Shi's younger brother in Dachang and his son in Fengguan Village.
Wen Shi raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Now that I've confirmed that the dorm manager won't be constantly watching the students coming in and out, and that the teachers only do random checks on the roster during class, it's time to get my family together to study music.
"Come to think of it...isn't it possible that everyone in our family is tone-deaf? Dad's singing can scare people to death."
As for the others, Wen Shi's strong sixth sense told him that none of them were good at music. He even had an inexplicable feeling that the demon brother was the most exaggerated tone-deaf among them.
On the middle bunk, Ji Yuanzhi stared at the ceiling silently.
Has it evolved from an orphan to a family?
He wiped his glasses. Now that he had gotten rid of his tragic life experience, it was time to erase the other person's pitiful stereotype.
Song Yan hesitated for a moment: "So it's because of the resemblance that the True Spirit and those monsters want to revive your father in me, Big Boss?"
Ji Yuanzhi almost broke the legs of his glasses.
When Wen Shi and Zhen Ling met, they were separated from Little Octopus and the others, so Jian Qingrong didn't get the relevant information in time. He walked in with a thermos in his hand, his right eye aglow with snow and wind, and smiled eerily, "What did you say?"
