51: Chapter 47 Lone Wolf 51: Chapter 47 Lone Wolf Class Leader and Xiao Ying supported each other back to the resting area,
“Water…”
“Oh!” This girl called Xiao Ying quickly unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and fed it to the Class Leader.
“Phew~ I feel alive again.”
“Class Leader, how did you get this investigator’s uniform?”
“How else?
This thing could only co from the Investigation Bureau.
They must have given it because we helped them.”
“Helped the Investigation Bureau?
Could it be!” Xiao Ying’s eyes widened, “You guys helped them catch the real Pseudo-Person!”
“Xiao Ying, you are quite smart~ No wonder you always make it to the top ten in cultural and logical analysis.”
“Hehe.” For so reason, she felt indescribably happy when praised by the Class Leader, “Right, Class Leader, you just said ‘you guys’?
I didn’t see anyone else wearing the sa uniform as you.”
“He chose a different reward.”
“He?
Is it Luo Di?”
The Class Leader didn’t directly answer, just gently patted Xiao Ying’s head,
Xiao Ying seed to like this touch, murmuring softly: “No wonder your relationship got so good~ Last sester it was just eating together, and this sester right away…”
“Xiao Ying, you don’t happen to like Luo Di, do you?”
“No!
Really not.” Xiao Ying’s head and hands shook vigorously at the sa frequency.
“I’ve seen you several tis during gym class, secretly watching Luo Di.
Just between us, we’re not in a romantic relationship.
If you like him, we could compete fairly.”
“Only you, Class Leader, with your scores could go to the sa place as Luo Di after the admissions process; I’m not the sa as you two.
But I will also try hard, aiming to get into the city program.”
“Xiao Ying, would you like to co eat with us?
I rember you always go to the canteen alone.”
“Can…
can I?”
“Why not, aren’t we classmates?”
“Okay…” For so reason, although it was just a common dinner invitation, Xiao Ying felt her tear glands uncontrollably active, and her vision blurred a bit.
But at that mont, the sound of bodies colliding echoed, and their attention was instantly drawn there.
On the field,
including Gao Yuxuan, four people were all eliminated, while Luo Di seed not to have chosen to cooperate with his teammates, standing alone in a remote position.
Xiao Ying hurriedly wiped away her tears, focusing on the situation on the field, “What happened?
It seems Luo Di didn’t join the vice class leader in their attack.”
The Class Leader whispered, “Yes, it had to be this way.
Can you guess why, Xiao Ying?”
Xiao Ying touched her head, “The reason, um~ the only thing different about Luo Di is that knife in his hand.
Then, you once ntioned that both of you received rewards from the Investigation Bureau; since they gave you an investigator’s uniform, Luo Di’s item must not be bad either.
Could it be, that knife is!”
“Xiao Ying, you really are smart~ Watch carefully, what’s coming next should be the highlight of tonight.”
…
On the field.
The class teacher stared at Luo Di, who deserted his teammates to beco a ‘Lone Wolf’,
Although he considered Luo Di one of the best talents, such behavior today was precisely what he disliked the most.
“Not abandoning, not giving up” was an important spirit he brought from his holand, which he also imparted well through his teaching to each student.
Now, he decided to exert his full strength to dampen Luo Di’s inexplicable confidence.
Just as the class teacher moved forward,
Luo Di, who had been standing still, also moved forward,
Their steps almost synchronized, their gazes eting.
The class teacher was sowhat surprised; he didn’t see any confidence in Luo Di’s eyes, just the usual calm and focus.
Just as the two were about to co within striking range,
Luo Di chose to strike first, quickly stepped forward to close the distance, adopting a simple and brutal slashing posture, just like in the movies, swinging his knife forward.
With great montum and force, he chopped vertically down.
However,
such an attack might work on ordinary people,
but in the eyes of the seasoned class teacher, it was full of flaws,
Too obvious moves, excessive slashing range, and a single cutting pattern.
Disregarding strength and precision, these are actions only a rookie would make.
The class teacher easily dodges with a sidestep and a turn, swinging out a chanical Stick directly at Luo Di’s wrist.
This close-range rapid strike could not only disarm but also possibly fracture the wrist, essentially determining the outco of the match.
Xiao Ying in the resting area also notices this and can’t help but exclaim softly: “Oh no!”
Dang!
A sound like striking iron reverberates through the hall,
Just when the class teacher is surprised by the unusual feel of the strike, Luo Di’s originally descending saber suddenly swings upward in a 180° reversal.
Danger!
His body propelling his feet, the class teacher quickly dodges back, creating a distance of over five ters.
A few strands of his forehead hair are cut off, and he slls a mix of corpse and rot.
The entire venue falls silent,
Everyone is shocked, even Gao Yuxuan, who knew the nature of the weapon beforehand, shows an incredulous expression since this is his first encounter with zombification.
Xiao Ying, on the side, covers her chest, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart.
The class teacher stares at Luo Di’s zombified right forearm, his previous prejudices instantly vanishing.
“So it is, this is your reason for ‘abandoning’ your teammate?
Cornered Tool, inherently possessing concealnt features, even I was deceived.
Students who have never encountered anomalies would indeed be directly affected by this, even developing Thought Corner.
This thing is now allowed to be used by minors?
And judging by your proficiency, you must have had it for a long ti.
Who gave it to you?”
“City Research Bureau.”
“Does this zombification bestowed by the object completely recover afterwards without any side effects?”
“Yes.”
“Very well—continue!”
Luo Di’s sword techniques are crude, essentially mimicking the actions of cinematic murderers and basic skills learned in physical education classes,
At most, it is combined with his own physicality, enhancing the speed and strength of his slashes.
Such simple maneuvers are unlikely to hurt the class teacher.
However,
Luo Di always manages to block damage at the right ti with his hardened arm, and uses the gaps created by the blocks to launch threatening counterattacks.
For a mont, he actually exchanges blows with the class teacher back and forth.
But still…
there are only so many variables.
And the class teacher has many tricks up his sleeve,
Suddenly changing the trajectory of the otherwise restraining and whipping chanical Stick, he thrusts it like a spear.
Luo Di is too slow to react, the speed even surpassing Spider Woman,
Whoosh!
The tip of the chanical Stick directly pokes between his collarbones, causing a mont of breathlessness.
The next second, Luo Di feels a kick to his undefended abdon, sending him flying nearly ten ters away, almost sliding out of the arena.
The surrounding students also hastily retreat, fearing contamination by the zombie essence.
Luo Di, clutching his struck throat, slowly sits up against the wall and then glances at his watch.
“Six minutes, huh?
Much worse than expected.”
Luo Di is not satisfied with his performance, but he receives a confirming look from the class teacher
Next, another group of students takes the stage.
As the class confrontations conclude, Luo Di essentially locks in the highest score in his class, but his rank within the grade will depend on the final tally.
The class teacher, wiping the sweat from his forehead, approaches Luo Di’s spot in the resting area.
“You have decided to use this weapon long-term instead of the combat knife I usually teach, right?”
“Yes.”
“With your performance, the nightti training might not be under my supervision.
However, I will still handle the dayti physical education classes.
Since you are committed to this direct form of slashing, I will teach you so special techniques during the free ti in PE class.
Our country once had the Big Saber Team to fend off invasions from East Island; these slashing techniques weren’t lost even after the wars ended.”
“Thank you, class teacher.”
