Chapter 164: The First Person in Academic Style Construction
"Thanks for your concern," Gao De thought for a while and replied: "I will strive to pass all course assessments."
He could see that Yilan just had excessive self-esteem.
Other than that, there was no malice toward himself.
So he didn't need to, nor did he want to, further stimulate Yilan.
And how to say it, Yilan was a wild magic user before entering the academy, growing up wild, and plus he was young, it was normal to be arrogant for a while.
After he followed the instructor to receive orthodox magic user education for a period of time, and then looked back on this experience, he would probably be afraid to look at it, wishing he could seal it as a dark history.
Who hasn't been "chuunibyou" when they were young?
But Gao De's unyielding and unhumbled posture was precisely what made Yilan feel most uncomfortable at this time.
Continue to say harsh words, it would make him look like he was looking for trouble and narrow-minded.
End it here, and it would feel like a tiger's head and a snake's tail.
"Then let's wait and see, this time the freshman credit first place is definitely mine." Yilan's flushed face didn't fade for a long time, and under the gaze of other students, he became even more cramped, so he could only leave this sentence and leave with his head held high.
Gao De shook his head helplessly.
But it was understandable; a 14-year-old boy who had already advanced to 1st-circle before entering the academy, and was accepted as a student by the Minister of the Spell Department as soon as he entered the academy, it was reasonable to be a bit "arrogant."
The blockers were gone, so Gao De naturally had no reason to linger, turned around, and left the classroom.
The biggest effect of Yilan's sudden appearance was that the news of Gao De choosing sixteen courses at once, which would have taken a period of time to spread among the students, spread rapidly in the academy due to the presence of nearly thirty students at the scene.
This made Gao De experience the feeling of being frequently looked at by other students on the road again.
The last time was when he broke the enrollment task record.
It's just that this attention last time disappeared after less than a week because there was no follow-up.
It was like an interesting lace news, making everyone happy and then it was over.
But this time, it wouldn't end so quickly.
Because everyone wants to know the follow-up.
Everyone wants to know how many course assessments this freshman, who chose sixteen courses at the same time, was "arrogant" to the point of being invincible, but actually entered the academy through the back door with a recommendation letter, can finally pass.
And, who will this freshman credit first place fall to.
After all, Yilan has already declared war face-to-face.
Gao De returned to his residence.
He organized the materials for the courses he had taken in the past few days, including textbooks and some notes, and then moved into the meditation room.
After calming his mind, Gao De silently cast a 【Guidance+】 on himself.
The next moment, a cool air rushed into his mind, washing his mind.
In an instant, Gao De, who had entered the flow state, felt his thinking become active.
Opening the materials, he read them word by word.
At this moment, the obscure and difficult knowledge accumulated in his brain in previous classes suddenly became clear and understandable.
Knowledge points began to connect with each other, which were details Gao De had never noticed before.
Gao De could even draw inferences and draw some summary experiences.
He gradually became intoxicated in this deep learning, and unknowingly, he had already flipped through the materials of one course.
Subsequently, Gao De opened the materials of another course without stopping his hands.
Time passed tick-tock.
Until an indescribable sense of fatigue surged into his brain, replacing that cool feeling, Gao De came back to his senses.
The effect of 【Guidance+】 had passed.
There were still some materials he hadn't finished reading, but Gao De didn't continue.
Two hours of "flow" state without stopping would make him collapse.
He stretched, got up, and went to the academy's restaurant.
After intense energy consumption, he urgently needed to replenish energy.
Because it was just mealtime, the restaurant was a bit livelier than usual.
Gao De bought a simple set meal worth 5 copper coins and sat down in an empty seat.
As a result, not long after he started eating, someone sat down in the empty seat opposite Gao De with a dinner that was obviously much more exquisite than his.
"You spent all the money you earned on course selection, and you don't even want to eat a better meal." Gao De looked up, and it was Jielika.
"Not really, it's mainly because there are too many courses to take, and there is basically no time to do academy tasks to earn money, so I can only sit and eat for the time being, but I still have to leave some money for cultivation, so I save where I can." He said truthfully, without any embarrassment.
"I heard you are taking sixteen courses at the same time?" Jielika asked.
This news had already spread, but Jielika still felt it was too fantasy, so she wanted to confirm it again.
"Yes." Gao De nodded, forked a piece of potato from his plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Are you fighting with Yilan for first place in credits?"
"To be precise, he is fighting with me; I just want first place in credits, and I don't necessarily have to fight with anyone."
"If your credits are high, then I am fighting with you for first place in credits, not Yilan." Gao De added.
Well, fortunately, I am not diligent enough to be a threat to you... Jielika bit her fried steak fiercely upon hearing this, and after a while, said again: "Yilan chose four more courses, and now the courses he has chosen have reached seven."
"Not bad." Gao De praised sincerely; before mastering 【Guidance+】, he only chose eight courses.
"You should know that you are famous now." Jielika saw that Gao De's reaction was not at all what she imagined, gritted her teeth, and asked again.
"Hmm." Gao De nodded.
As his conversation with Yilan in the classroom slowly spread, the entire academy became a bit noisy.
Someone actually dared to choose sixteen courses at the same time and fight for first place in credits with a 14-year-old 1st-circle magic user freshman?
Everyone who heard this news had the first reaction that Gao De was crazy.
But Gao De was not crazy, and he behaved normally, studying and cultivating seriously every day, looking like he was doing something serious, which made people even more "concerned"—it really looks like something, I have to see how much ability you have.
Most people who pay attention to this matter have this psychological activity.
"There has never been a student who would choose sixteen courses at the same time, because with a person's normal energy, it is impossible to take care of so many courses..."
"Now in the academy, not only students, but even many instructors are waiting to see how many course assessments you can pass in the end."
"Some people even opened a handicap to bet on who will fall to the freshman credit first place this year." Jielika revealed a lot of news.
These are things that Gao De, who has almost no "socializing" in the academy, does not know.
"How is the handicap?" Gao De suddenly asked.
Jielika obviously didn't expect that after she said so much, the only thing Gao De cared about would be this, and she was stunned for a moment before answering: "Yilan is one to one, you are one to four."
The person who opened the handicap was still very rational; even though they were very unoptimistic about Gao De, they didn't adjust Gao De's odds to an exaggerated multiple.
"Jielika, you should be considered the student I have the best relationship with in the academy." Gao De suddenly said seriously.
"Ah?!" This magical topic transition made Jielika's brain crash for a moment.
Gao De, who had eaten the food on his plate clean, stood up, "As the saying goes, fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields."
"So, remember to bet more on me." He grinned, leaving Jielika with a sunny smile.
Before Jielika could react, Gao De had already turned and left.
Jielika, who finished dinner and left the restaurant, stopped at the entrance of the restaurant and hesitated for a moment.
She had to spend time preparing to advance to a 1st-circle magic user and didn't have much time and energy to learn.
So Jielika had always planned to muddle through with 10 credits before successfully advancing.
Later, because of Gao De's "rolling," she "voluntarily" chose four courses.
But now Gao De is rolling on top of rolling, directly choosing sixteen courses, and that Yilan has now chosen seven courses.
As freshmen, others are so diligent, she really is embarrassed to continue muddling like this.
Anyway, she also entered Cyrus Academy with the highest treatment, so she still has a burden, can't fall too far behind the two, right?
After thinking about this, Jielika finally made up her mind, moved her steps, and turned to walk towards the committee.
She wants to add courses for herself! Committee, Committee Chairman's Office.
Su Sang, who has been the chairman for twenty-three years, opened the materials submitted by the staff below as usual and reviewed them.
At the beginning of the month, the main thing to look at is the "attendance rate" of each course.
Some courses with low attendance rates for many periods, either the instructor has a problem, or the content of the course itself has a problem, and they will be considered for cancellation.
And those courses with higher "attendance rates" are considered to add one or two more periods.
At Cyrus Academy, it is not easy for students to muddle, and it is not easy for instructors to muddle; they must ensure that their courses have enough attraction to students, otherwise they will be eliminated.
Hmm? Chairman Su Sang flipped through, couldn't help but frown slightly, as if he had discovered something amazing.
