MTL - The Puppeteer of Academy City-Chapter 1 It's not cheating as long as you don't get caught
Among the densely forested buildings, the man was right opposite, standing with his giant puppet.
It was a five-meter-tall giant puppet, and its left arm was a long pile driver. A slender spear protruded from the front end, across the ten-meter-wide street, and accurately pierced into my chest. on the wall behind.
Severe pain and severe injuries robbed me of mobility. But I don't completely rely on my hands to manipulate the puppet.
"Kill him, sprite!" I yelled, ignoring the steel spear between my heart and lungs.
The other party did not dodge or dodge, and the puppet controlling him swung his left arm, trying to tear my body apart.
"Die, Ling Xingye!"
…
Like a stone thrown into calm water, the scene of the dream is broken and rippled...
The voice of the real world came from the ear, but it was so far away that it was unreal.
"Ling Xingye! How dare you sleep in the exam, do you want to fail!"
The boy woke up suddenly. He raised his head in a daze, with sleepy eyes as if he was still awake.
It took another two seconds before Ling Xingye remembered that he was taking the exam.
At this time Ling Xingye found himself in a spacious and bright classroom, sitting in the last seat in the row by the window, looking up, the other twenty-nine students in the classroom were busy writing.
Only he fell asleep by himself...
So now the invigilator and their instructor—Sakura Sachiko is standing next to his seat.
On weekdays, Mr. Sakura Sachiko, who is a gentle and intellectual big sister to outsiders, also showed a gentle and sweet smile at this time: "I know Xingye doesn't care about such a simple quiz, but it's not okay to openly sleep during the exam. Give the teacher face."
Teacher Sachiko smiled sweeter and clapped her hands as if she had suddenly thought of a good idea: "That's good. If you can't get a full score in the Starry Night quiz, all the quiz bonuses will be deducted!"
The amount of the bonus popped up in Ling Xingye's mind instantly, and then his face suddenly became solemn.
There was a sympathetic sigh all around. Ling Xingye's heart also tightened, and he suddenly remembered the deficit on his credit card...
To put it bluntly, Academy City is a large-scale experimental research base that gathers students with superpowers. In addition to studying here, the students also act as guinea pigs for research.
Therefore, when going to school in Academy City, tuition fees are often not charged, and instead, students are given monthly subsidies.
The higher the ability user's level, the higher the school's ranking, the more allowances the students can get.
Ling Xingye is currently studying in Changdian Shangji Academy, one of the top five top schools in Academy City, so the students in it also have a lot of subsidies.
For example, the subject they are currently testing - "General Studies", which is the so-called "Comprehensive Encyclopedia". It's a bit like a guessing game on a TV show, all kinds of messy questions will appear, but the difficulty and professional requirements are higher.
The two-hour exam requires the completion of 300 all-encompassing questions — mostly fill-in-the-blank and choice-based.
The purpose of this course is to expand students' knowledge, to broaden their thinking and horizons, and to better develop their own abilities.
In fact, only a prestigious school like Shangji Academy has the leeway to set up such a nonsense test item.
The corresponding bonus is used to motivate students' enthusiasm—after all, no one thinks they have too much money.
Ling Xingye is on the verge of fiscal deficit all year round, so he must not let go of any chance to earn extra money.
Hearing the teacher's threat, he immediately showed a headache expression.
Seemingly satisfied with her "threat" effect, Sachiko-sensei nodded and returned to the seat next to the podium.
"By the way, I remind everyone again, don't cheat!" Teacher Xingzi clapped her hands and said, "The final exam is a comprehensive assessment, and everyone is not prohibited from cheating with ability, but this ordinary test is to truly reflect your knowledge. Level, so cheating is not allowed!"
"Although the teacher is not a superpower user, his eyes are also very sharp. Moreover, the latest AIM diffusion force field detection device made by the scientific research department is installed in this room. Any activation of the ability will trigger a warning! If anyone has the confidence to hide them... Teacher Xingzi patted a machine on the podium, "Even the cheating teacher will admit it."
But that's impossible!
This mechanical device, even if placed in the entire Academy City, is the top research result. It will not interfere with the activation of superpowers, but it is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the AIM diffusion field.
At present, it is only borrowed from the laboratory of the Ministry of Science and Technology for actual combat tests, and has not been officially released to the public.
And only the long-term Shangji Academy can be bold enough to use it to monitor cheating in exams.
"In other words, as long as you don't get caught, you can cheat, right?" Ling Xingye's brain gradually came to his senses, and he thought to himself, "The teacher did say that just now... If that's the case, then there's no problem!"
It's not that Ling Xingye doesn't know these questions, but dozing off in the middle wasted a lot of time. There is still half an hour before the end of the exam, but he still has 200 questions to do, and it is almost impossible for him to complete the rest of the time This test paper.
So Ling Xingye decisively chose to cheat - the target was naturally his classmate sitting in the front row, the well-known **** of learning in the school, Hitomi Shiranui.
The monitor, Shiranui Hitomi, is a good student with excellent character and learning, and even a level 4 person with great ability.
As we all know, Academy City divides ability users into six levels—from level 0 powerless people to the highest level 5 superpowers.
As the current No. 1 Changdian Computer Academy, the highest ability user currently studying should naturally be a level 5 super ability user, and it is said that it is also the number one strongest super ability user in the entire academy city.
Further down there are about fifty Level 4 powerful users. Compared with the level 5 superpowers who never showed up in the school, these powerful people are actually the top existence of the school.
Class monitor Shiranuo Hitomi is one of them.
Its level 4 great ability, the name of the ability is - "memory construction".
It is because of her that Class Three of the year is also a gathering place for ability users mainly based on memory and mind.
Hitomi Shiranui is the real core of this class. In addition, she is also known as the person in Tokiwadai who has the strongest memory and psychic ability under the bee eater.
"Memory construction", as the name suggests, her ability can operate and write on her own and other people's memories.
Most importantly, information can be accurately and efficiently "written" into the brain. So for Hitomi Shiranui, "learning" has never been a difficult task. Moreover, she can also perform the same operation for other students to "tutor".
Thanks to her, the academic performance of class three a year is ranked first in the whole school.
Therefore, today's cheating monitoring is mainly aimed at Hitomi Shiranui. Because as long as she is watched, the whole class will not have too serious cheating. On the contrary, if she is missed, it will almost certainly be the end of the class with full marks.
Regarding this, Shiranuotong was also aware of it, so at this time, he just took the exam honestly.
In addition to the "memory construction" developed in Academy City, she is also a born with absolute memory, so even without relying on ability, it is easy to determine the perfect score.
To sum up, Ling Xingye is going to "learn" her answer directly.
With a light flick of the fingers, a silk thread so thin that the naked eye can't detect it went around the chandelier, one end was quietly wrapped around Shiranui Hitomi's pen, and the other end was connected to the pen tip in Ling Xingye's hand.
The slender silk thread sensitively and faithfully fed back every stroke of the girl, leaving the same trace on Ling Xingye's test paper.
Ling Xingye used a pencil, he glanced at it, and quickly found the corresponding question, and was about to switch to a pen to officially "answer the question".
"Xingye, don't cheat!" A line of slender characters suddenly flowed out from the tip of the pen.
Hehe, it was discovered.
Ling Xingye raised her head and looked forward, the girl still maintained an upright sitting posture and was writing vigorously. If it weren't for this line of writing, no one would be able to see the clues.
The silk thread used by Ling Xingye bears very little force, and it is difficult to detect it unless it is a relevant ability person who is extremely sensitive to power.
But Shiranui Hitomi is different, because they have been together for a long time, this kind of trick has been used by the two of them to chat in class, so it is impossible to hide it from her.
Ling Xingye popped out another silk thread, and controlled Hitomi Shiranui's pen tip—
"I'll treat you to ice cream after school."
"Do you still want to buy me in such a cheap way?"
Ling Xingye raised his head, looking like he was thinking. Then I saw Sachiko-sensei smiling sweetly at herself on the podium.
"I will invite you for a week, so that you can eat as much as you want!" He made up his mind in an instant.
Compared with the bonus, the little expense of the treat is worth it.
"Deal!" The girl's slender handwriting almost revealed her excited emotions, "Where did you do it before? I'll start over again!"
Hitomi Shiranui is a person with absolute memory, and the "general education" subject that completely tests her memory is not difficult at all for her, she does not need to think at all, and she has almost completed all the questions at this time.
So even if you write it again from the beginning, you still have time to write the answers to the entire set of test papers again.
After the exam, Hitomi Shiranui immediately turned around and faced Ling Xingye.
She is a girl with jet-black hair and a delicate face, in other words, the standard "black long straight" attribute. In addition, the most striking thing is the pair of bright and extraordinarily clear and energetic eyes, giving people a shining feeling.
The tall and straight chest also fills up the school uniform, revealing a maturity beyond her peers.
Although in front of outsiders, she will always have an image of Yujie who is confident and even majestic, but in a class where everyone is familiar with classmates, Hitomi Shiranui relaxes a lot, which is more in line with the cheerful personality of a sixteen-year-old girl.
Especially in front of Ling Xingye, she acted coquettishly and complained without restraint at all.
"Xingye, I can't feel my wrist anymore. I kept writing and writing till the end. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
The girl stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ling Xingye's eyes. Her slender fingers were carved like white jade, and the marks formed by holding the pen for a long time were clearly visible between her white fingers.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will choose the store you want to go to later, and you will be satisfied." Ling Xingye grabbed the little hand in front of her, and saw her thoughts at a glance.
Hitomi Shiranui frowned in dissatisfaction: "Hey, so I am a glutton in Xingye's heart?"
"No, I mean...thank you." Ling Xingye quickly changed his words.
"Today is the day to move, right?" Hitomi Shiranui also quickly changed the subject, "I'll also help decorate the room, and then let's go have dinner together."
"The moving company has already moved all the luggage there." Ling Xingye nodded, "So there shouldn't be any trouble. Come if you want, just to get acquainted with the way."
"That's great, I also want to move out of the school dormitory..." Hitomi Shiranui said enviously.
"Living alone is not such a wonderful thing. Many things are not as convenient as living in a dormitory. You also know that I chose to move out for various reasons." Ling Xingye said, "Besides, Tong is A deluxe dormitory for one person, right? That's an enviable treatment."
"Hitomi, this is the only thing you can't learn from this boy!" Sachiko-sensei walked over, "I don't know how to rent an ordinary student apartment off-campus as an outstanding student in the School of Mechanical Engineering. What do you think! The teacher is also a headache, and you are not allowed to use this as an excuse to be late for school in the future..."
"Teacher, are the results out?" Ling Xingye asked directly when he saw the stack of test papers in Teacher Xingzi's hand.
As soon as the voice fell, the classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on this corner.
