Chapter 1339: Chapter 1248: Interstellar Life 19

Looking at those pitiful little white mice, several students were already crying; they couldn’t accept the fact that they had harmed the mice to this extent.

Gu Yue looked at these students with miserable expressions and, completely unmoved, continued, "This is the result of your poor academic performance.

Opening the Genetic Map is the most basic and also the simplest operation for a Genetic Repairer, and yet you’ve already made such huge mistakes.

You’re all students; look at classmate Pei Shuangshuang. The mouse in front of her is still healthy, without any errors. Why? Because she works hard enough and is careful enough.

If you were careful enough, if you were cautious enough, then even if you failed to open the Genetic Map, you still wouldn’t have caused any damage to these mice.

But now look at what you’ve done. Your recklessness and carelessness have led to devastating consequences. If these mice were patients, you would be harming people."

Some students were already crying below the podium; they truly hadn’t expected that a moment of inattention could cause such serious consequences.

Quite a few students even started thinking about backing out and no longer wanting to take this Genetic Repair Class.

Standing on the podium, Gu Yue watched coldly from the side. She knew this was a heavy blow for these kids right now, but she couldn’t soften her heart. Genetic Repair has always been a field where not a single mistake is allowed.

She would rather these kids lose confidence in this class at this stage than allow students to keep attending with a reckless, indifferent attitude.

So Gu Yue did not give them much time to wallow in sadness. She directly pressed the class bell to summon her assistants, who carried out the crippled mice and brought in a new batch of healthy ones.

"All right, now rein in your emotions and continue class. Use your spiritual power to open the mouse’s Genetic Map again. This time, remember to be careful."

The students were all stunned. They hadn’t expected Gu Yue to actually make them continue the class and continue opening the mice’s Genetic Maps—they were still grieving.

And they had already harmed a whole batch of mice like that earlier; they were still upset about it, and because of fear they didn’t dare make a move. Having them practice opening the mice’s Genetic Maps again at this point could very likely cause more harm.

Although Gu Yue told them to start, the students each stood frozen in place, staring at the mice in front of them, not daring to use their spiritual power to open the Genetic Maps again.

Gu Yue stood on the podium, watching the students below who didn’t dare move, and let out a cold snort. "What, you’re scared already? You don’t dare continue?"

"Let me tell you, in your future coursework, things like this are so minor they’re not even worth remembering.

If you can’t withstand even this tiny setback, then leave my classroom as soon as possible. This is your one and only chance. I allow you to walk out now and never come to Genetic Repair Class again.

I’ll also petition the school so your credits won’t be deducted. But if you don’t leave this time, then from now on in my class you’ll obey my rules.

If in the future you shrink back like this again over a single failure, I will deduct your credits. You all know how important credits are to you.

Once your credits are completely deducted, you’ll be forced to withdraw from the Federal First Military Academy. So choose quickly. This is your only chance."

The students hesitated for a while. Seeing Gu Yue’s cold face and serious expression, which didn’t look like she was joking, a few students cautiously stepped away from their operation tables and walked out of the classroom, and Gu Yue didn’t spare them so much as a glance from beginning to end.

Once they were sure Gu Yue meant what she said and wasn’t just talking, more students immediately followed them out, and then more and more students walked out one after another.

Among these students were Guo Yueyue, whose face was streaked with tears from secretly crying beside Pei Shuangshuang, and Yao Yiqi, who was looking at Guo Yueyue with a deeply worried expression.

In the end, only seven students remained in the Genetic Repair classroom; all the others had left, and Gu Yue just watched them go without the slightest intention of stopping anyone.

Among the seven who stayed, counting Shuangshuang there were three girls and four boys. Two of those girls and one of the boys still had tear-streaked faces, but none of them showed any intention of leaving.

Gu Yue looked at the remaining students, her expression softening a little. "Very good. Since you’ve stayed, I assume you truly want to become Genetic Repairers.

For the rest of the course, I hope you’ll listen carefully and study hard. I will demand a lot from you and train you into outstanding Genetic Repairers. Now, let’s continue class."

After Gu Yue finished speaking, the few remaining students obediently continued practicing how to open the mice’s Genetic Maps. Those who were still crying also wiped away their tears and focused on practicing.

Seeing everyone earnestly engaged in class, Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction, then tapped the podium and said to Pei Shuangshuang, "Pei Shuangshuang, come up to the podium."

Shuangshuang froze for a moment, then stood up and walked to the front. Gu Yue’s expression softened a lot as she looked at her; she really liked this calm and clever student who was both focused and hardworking.

If she didn’t know that Pei Shuangshuang was the student of Principal Sun Jie, she would have wanted to steal this kid away to be her own student.

This child fit her ideals too well, and this calm, steady temperament was practically tailor-made for being a Genetic Repairer.

Gu Yue’s tone was very gentle when she spoke to Pei Shuangshuang. "Your speed at opening the Genetic Map is fast enough, and you’re opening it completely as well. You really are a diligent, good kid.

But opening a mouse’s Genetic Map is only the simplest, most basic operation. Although all living things possess spiritual power, a mouse’s spiritual power is the weakest, to the point it can’t even perceive or use it on its own, which makes it the easiest to control.

If what you’re facing is a human whose spiritual power is millions of times stronger than a mouse’s and who can control their spiritual power independently, then it won’t be that easy to open their Genetic Map.

Because when you try to open the other party’s Genetic Map, you are essentially an intruder. Their spiritual power will instinctively resist and reject you, making it impossible for you to smoothly open their Genetic Map.

So you must learn how to use your own spiritual power to soothe the other party’s spiritual power, and then slowly open their Genetic Map."

After speaking, Gu Yue took out a cage from beneath the podium. Inside was an extremely violent mouse, the very one whose brain had been damaged earlier by a student’s spiritual power.

"Now relax and don’t resist me. I will link to your spiritual power, then take you with me to calm this mouse’s spiritual power.

Watch carefully how I do it, and later you can try it yourself. Now relax, get ready. I’m going to link to your spiritual power. Remember, don’t harbor any resistance."
