[Non-Natural Management Academy Campus-Wide Notification]
[All students in all grades will have their monthly exams postponed to next Monday. Tutors in charge of your classes will conduct a one-week special training for you.]
[Special Warning: This monthly exam will involve anomalies of danger level 3-6 or above, and one special grade Boss. There is a risk to life. Students who do not wish to participate after the week of special training can apply to withdraw from their tutors.]
[Point Reward Rules: Killing anomalies level 3 or above grants 1 point, level 4 grants 2 points, level 5 grants 3 points, level 6 grants 5 points, and so on.]
[Special Rule: All students who are not eliminated and successfully participate in killing the special grade Boss will be rewarded with 30 points.]
All students in the school received news from their optical brains, and the entire school erupted.
"Is a monthly exam really creating such a huge fuss?"
"Wait, with so many points, won't this Boss be level 8?"
"Are these points for the monthly exam? If I kill a few more? I can get my graduation certificate in my second year? Hahaha, I'm participating, I must participate!"
Naturally, there were students who were happy and students who were worried.
"This sounds very dangerous."
"What's wrong with the school? Why is this happening suddenly."
"People can die in an internal school monthly exam, I'm not participating."
This news quickly spread on the school forum and then to the Supernatural Information website. Conjecture and curiosity swept through every supernatural being's heart. The most concerning aspect was the 'Special Grade Boss', what exactly it was.
Many people speculated that the school wouldn't dare to joke with students' lives, and that the special grade Boss was likely a powerful tutor from the academy.
Upon hearing that Shen Qi proposed the plan, everyone's thoughts were unified, believing that Shen Qi was the special grade Boss.
However, many refuted this, arguing that the rule was to 'kill the Boss,' so how could it be a tutor? It must be an anomaly of a very high level.
The arguments and speculations, and the hot discussion on the website, even spread to ordinary people's websites, but the news was quickly suppressed.
Even the state authorities called Shen Lu to inquire about the reason.
...
Lu Zhi closed his optical brain, his expression calm. He had already braced himself, but he still underestimated Shen Qi's influence.
"A week of special training?" Luo Shiyu mused, "Such a high danger level? What level anomaly is this special grade Boss?"
"Although it says 'kill', it's a play on words, defeating a tutor can also be considered 'killing', right?" Lan Yushan scratched his head, "My sixth sense tells me this monthly exam is not simple."
Gu Weiyu was overjoyed, "So this monthly exam is a combat test? That's great, I'm stable for this monthly exam! If I work hard, maybe I can earn more points and get my graduation certificate early?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The school did not announce whether the Boss was an anomaly or a tutor, leaving suspense while hiding the identity of the Dimera god.
Lu Zhi didn't want to dampen their confidence and said, "I think this monthly exam is a team event. We can form small teams to specifically farm points."
"There's no rule that it has to be solo. Those with ideas, and those who are weaker, will definitely find people to team up with." Luo Shiyu opened his optical brain and searched for the total number of students in the school, including those in the fourth year. The school had about two thousand students, which seemed few, but they were all selected elite students, with abilities above B-class.
"The precise number of participants is likely to be announced after training," Luo Shiyu closed his optical brain and pondered, "All students participating, regardless of senior or junior grades, means this monthly exam is freely combinable."
Lu Zhi could roughly guess Shen Qi's intention and said, "It's to train students' adaptability and judgment of teamwork when facing unexpected situations in real combat. Our individual strengths are weak, but if we combine all our strength, killing an level 8 anomaly might not be difficult, right?"
Gu Weiyu crossed her arms and nodded, "Indeed, the Boss I entered last time, in the 'Longkan', was a level five anomaly. Its attack power wasn't that strong, but it was very cunning and intelligent. My psionic value is B-class, and we only managed to kill it by working together with several seniors."
Anomalies of the same level also had differences in strength, just like there were strengths and weaknesses among B-class superhumans.
"Are the doors that hard to find?" Lu Zhi was a little curious, after all, the 'Longkan' he entered last time was the same as in the original novel, there was a safe zone, and one could come out after surviving for seven days.
Gu Weiyu answered frankly, "It's not that hard to find, it's just that my seniors and I prefer to solve problems with force. Thinking is easily headache-inducing."
Lu Zhi found it both amusing and exasperating. It meant that within the team, no one could solve the riddle of the 'Longkan' to find the door, so they directly chose to kill the Boss to pass, which was indeed a simple, crude, and fastest way to break through the predicament.
"Sometimes I really envy people with flexible minds like you," Gu Weiyu sighed, "One person found the door and left on the first day, but we searched for six days without finding the door, and only then did we collectively attack the Boss. Two seniors were also seriously injured and are still lying in the school's infirmary."
The damage caused by anomalies meant that some special problems, such as toxins and mental damage, could not be detected by ordinary hospital equipment.
Gu Weiyu did not blame the person for leaving secretly after finding the door. After all, that person had no responsibility to tell them, nor was there any moral coercion. Saving a life is better than building seven levels of pagodas. In the 'Longkan', everyone's goal was only one, which was to survive and leave.
"Did the 'Longkan' disappear after the Boss died?" Lu Zhi was a bit curious, "Or did the door appear after the Boss was killed?"
Gu Weiyu's expression became a little more serious, "We actually found the key to open the door, but we couldn't find the door, so we were forced to besiege the Boss. We didn't expect that the door was actually hidden in the Boss's room's closet."
Lu Zhi suddenly realized, "Didn't you search in the Boss's room?"
Gu Weiyu's face creased, "Alas, don't mention it. I searched inside the room, and the wardrobe was empty, with nothing. The condition to trigger the door's appearance was to obtain the Boss's personal belongings... underwear."
Lu Zhi: ...
Lan Yushan's mouth slowly opened, "The Boss wears underwear?"
Lu Zhi retorted, "Why would you think the Boss doesn't wear underwear?"
Luo Shiyu stroked his chin, "Level 5 anomalies can transform into humans, right?"
Lu Zhi's curiosity was piqued, "So, is the Boss male or female?"
Gu Weiyu said expressionlessly, "A woman with a penis."
Lu Zhi: ...
Lan Yushan: ...
Luo Shiyu: ...
A woman with a penis = a eunuchized transvestite.
