Aaron

The principal remembered this name, and he was also one of the students who were reported.

The dignity of being in a high position made him unable to tolerate vomiting in a public class.

"Let him stop." The principal asked Teacher Ruan with a grim face.

"Student Yulia, that's enough." Teacher Ruan said coldly.

Wen Shi's nose moved, and he smelled a faint fishy smell on the principal. The distance was very close, and there seemed to be a layer of light white mist around the dark eyeballs. The sticky sclera trembled, and the principal's eyes suddenly focused, like a ferocious jackal that was awakened, staring at Wen Shi who was observing him unkindly.

Wen Shi was not frightened and raised the trash can in his hand: "It seems you don't need this anymore."

He returned to his seat and said to Jian Qingrong with a little frustration: "Every time I try to please the leader, I am rejected."

It was the same thing the last time I tried to please Ao.

Jian Qingrong didn't know when he had replaced the gauze on his eyes, "Then replace him."

With the zombie's inspiration, all the players in the entire classroom regained their confidence.

Teacher Ruan gestured for Youshi to sit down, and he left a '-10' on the roster with an expressionless face.

If it wasn't for an in-class quiz with a maximum deduction of ten points, he would have added another zero.

"Aaron." Teacher Ruan continued to call the roll.

Xiao Li, who was sitting against the wall, felt relieved. At the moment, those who were called out first were those whose identities were questionable.

If his judgment was correct, the blood test of the person named Yulia failed.

A Zhuang spoke in a hoarse voice: "It's not our turn now."

Xiao Li nodded.

Wen Shi was inspired by You Shi's singing. He had no talent in singing and could only sing a few tunes occasionally.

"It was a sun shining on..."

After singing ten words, he was only off-tune. Wen Shi was very good at making up for it. He whispered innocently, "Sorry, teacher. Yulia's singing has been lingering in my mind."

He didn't tell me the reason why he couldn't get rid of it, so Youshi thought he was being praised.

This was an impeccable reason, so Teacher Ruan forgave him and did not deduct points from the roster.

In order to prevent the students from being affected, he asked the principal for permission and said, "Take a fifteen-minute break early."

During the break, some students went to the bathroom, and the rest of the people stayed in their seats. The players who were worried about being called out later almost hated the zombies, and they all forgot what the original melody was like.

"That's, that's..." A player sitting in the first row was trying to find the tune, his patience gradually running out, "That's his ancestor's..."

He was unlucky as Teacher Ruan heard him and after gently asking the student's name, he deducted points from him.

"Don't insult music." Teacher Ruan said solemnly.

Wen Shi looked at the roster that would determine the students' daily scores, and thought calmly, should he not insult the music, or should he not insult the song.

According to the lyrics, "A Warm Sunny Day" is about a sunny day when a group of people went out to sea to play fishing and had a big harvest.

It praises the hard work of fishermen and is also a song of suffering for those caught.

Wen Shi poked Jian Qingrong's knuckles with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"

It was a question without any context, but Jian Qingrong understood it.

Just like he disguised himself as a factory worker, the mermaid may have sneaked into the school. He may be a cafeteria lady, a student... or a tutor or school leader.

Some special species do not have the middle gate area. They are either extremely beautiful or extremely ugly. Judging from the several special recruits with overly beautiful looks this time and the mermaids we saw last night, most of the mermaids belong to the former.

Then the scope is narrowed down to mentors and students.

The instructor who came today, Mr. Ruan, was a smiling tiger, with no signs of letting students off, but he would show a little fluctuation when students insulted the lyrics; the other cold male instructor, with good qualities, was naturally more attractive to girls, and some female students looked at him twice during the break; the last female instructor had red hair and white skin, and looked quite exotic, but she looked a bit like a boy.

Compared with boys, more girls pay attention to her.

The information obtained from appearance alone was too scarce. Jian Qingrong narrowed his eyes and said, "We will know after the autopsy."

Wen Shi: “…”

The break time passed quickly.

No player made the stupid mistake of being late, so the lesson started over again.

Teacher Ruan began the cruel roll call: "Ni Tao."

The player who was called up sang quite standardly, with clear pronunciation and full intonation. Teacher Ruan did not react much after listening to it, but just nodded: "Not bad, you have some basic skills."

He left his mark on the roster again.

Wen Shi saw it clearly and saw that he only drew two strokes in total, so it was likely that he was deducting points.

Ji Yuanzhi's glasses were very clever, and they gave a direct answer: "Minus one point."

It's obvious that Ni Tao has some musical background, maybe he majored in vocal music, but he still can't reach the passing line in his instructor's mind.

Song Yan: "Doesn't that mean that every student who is called out in class will lose points?"

Wen Shi nodded.

There is already one disadvantage of exposing your possible mermaid identity: you run the risk of having all your daily points deducted at any time.

During the nearly two-hour class, Mr. Ruan called out the names of 22 students, then he put down the roster and began to talk about some music theory. When the bell rang, Mr. Ruan finished the class on time.

The second class will be held in a new building, in the Yayin Building.

Wen Shi left through the front door. The principal had no intention of continuing to attend the open class. He sat in his original seat and talked to the tutor, waiting for the students to leave first.

When Wen Shi passed by him, he smelled the unpleasant fishy and salty smell again. He didn't know where the source of this smell was. It seemed to be only in his mouth, but it also seemed to be diffused in every pore.

Most of the players were sitting in the back seat, and only a few came out of the front door. After looking around to make sure no one was around, Wen Shi said, "The principal smells fishy."

fishy smell

Song Yan thought his five senses were quite sharp, but he couldn't smell it.

Wen Shi looked at Jian Qingrong and Ji Yuanzhi in turn, and the two of them also shook their heads.

The unanimous denial made Wen Shi begin to doubt himself.

Jian Qingrong thought it was nothing surprising: "It is normal for cats to be allergic to the smell of fish."

Wen Shi: “…I’m not a cat.”

It was just a body transformation.

Jian Qingrong got back to the point: "The probability that the principal is a mermaid is low. The smell may have another source."

If a mermaid becomes the principal, this academy will be a completely different place. At least the mermaids in the dark won't have to hide anymore.

The morning was full of classes, and the last two classes were musical appreciation. The teacher was just an ordinary teacher, and he also called out 22 names. This time, Wen Shi was not spared. Thanks to Ji Yuanzhi's glasses, he knew that he had been deducted points.

Before the get out of class ended, the teacher looked disappointed and said, "You are the worst class of students I have ever taught. Students who didn't answer the questions today should go to the library to study in the evening. I don't want you to not know the basic concepts of musicals."

Including Wen Shi, twenty-two unsuccessful students received the task prompt:

[Side Quest: Evening Self-Study

Task content: At the teacher's request, you need to go to the study room on the second floor of the library to study for hours.

Tip: The time for evening self-study starts from 10 o'clock.]

The teacher said with a cold face: "I will greet the library security and the dormitory manager. Please study hard and don't be lazy."

"Yes." The students responded obediently.

When she walked out of the classroom, a player's face immediately changed, "This copy is simply killing people with a blunt knife."

Wen Shi also had a deep understanding of this.

It's too mild.

It's like a piece of light music, flowing slowly, and the players are like frogs wandering in the sea of music, being simmered over low heat.

Song Yan: "Boss, is there anything I can do for you?"

Accompanying can only be a hindrance, but he can sponsor some points support. After coming out of the last copy and upgrading the mirror, Song Yan still has nearly 15,000 points.

Wen Shi sighed: "Just keep the door open."

By the time he gets back, it will be half past one at the earliest.

Players who were not named did not necessarily have the qualifications to study late at night, and Ji Yuanzhi could not accompany them.

Before Jian Qingrong spoke, Wen Shixian asked, "Is the building you sponsored a library?"

"no."

Wen Shi waved his hand: "Then you stay too."

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Wen Shi planned to go to the library to check out the situation before lunch, but he was stopped outside by the security guard.

"Show me your student ID."

Wen Shi: "Freshmen only have campus cards."

The security guard performed his duties mechanically: "No entry without a permit."

Wen Shi was vague about the concept: "The teacher asked me to come."

Unfortunately, the security guard didn't buy it at all: "Teacher E called and said, but poor students can only come at night."

Wen Shi turned around helplessly. At the bottom of the library stairs, Ji Yuanzhi and Song Yan were looking at another place.

Wen Shi looked over there and saw construction going on over there with a crane. It seemed like they were building a building.

"Didn't they say the school was closed recently?" It turned out that it was only targeting students, and the engineering team could enter without any restriction.

Jian Qingrong said calmly, "This is the building I donated. When it is completed, it will be named Nianwen Building."

Wen Shi: “…”

You are still alive, what are you thinking about

The afternoon was also uneventful.

Wen Shi stayed in the dormitory, feeling a little anxious. He suspected that the game was deliberately targeting him. He was used to playing dungeons at a fast pace, but now this made it impossible for him to concentrate.

Ji Yuanzhi was resting on the bed. He knew what Wen Shi was thinking without opening his eyes. He said in a low voice, "S-level copies have a deadline, no matter how slow they are. Something is bound to happen tonight."

Neither the library nor the dormitory is safe.

However, if we really compare the difficulty, the risk in the dormitory is definitely lower than that in the library.

"That's right, today is already the day."

After Wen Shi finished speaking, the air was silent for a second.

The two of them subconsciously looked towards Jian Qingrong. It only took them about days to clear "Dachang".

Wen Shi thought: I am so awesome.

Ji Yuanzhi looked at Jian Qingrong and thought: This person is no good.

The cup was empty, and Jian Qingrong walked out silently and honestly to help Wen Shi get some hot water.

Xiao Li and A Zhuang also went to the cafeteria to buy water, and it seemed that they were going to drink mineral water to the end.

Wen Shi stared at the position of bed number one: "I will go to the library to study, and my good roommates also contributed to this."

He turned to look at Ji Yuanzhi: "If it's convenient, let's change roommates."

Ji Yuanzhi opened his eyes: "The number of new students is fixed. A building cannot be fully occupied. Even if they die, there will be no new rooms..."

The voice paused.

He thought of Wen Shi’s younger brother in Dachang and his son in Fengguan Village.

Wen Shi raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Now that I’ve confirmed that the dorm manager won’t always be keeping an eye on the students coming in and out, and that the teacher will only do random checks on the roster during class, it’s time to get my family together to study music.

"Come to think of it... Could it be that everyone in my family is tone-deaf? My dad can scare people to death by singing."

As for the others, Wen Shi's strong sixth sense told him that none of them were good at music. He even had an inexplicable feeling that the demon brother was the most exaggerated tone-deaf person among them.

On the middle bunk, Ji Yuanzhi stared at the ceiling silently.

Have they evolved from orphans to a family

He wiped his glasses. Now that he had gotten rid of his tragic life experience, it was time to erase the other person's pitiful stereotype.

Song Yan hesitated for a moment: "So it's because of the resemblance that the True Spirit and those monsters want to revive your father in your body?"

Ji Yuanzhi almost broke the legs of his glasses.

When Wen Shi and Zhen Ling met, he and Xiao Octopus were in a state of separation, and Jian Qingrong did not get the relevant information in time. He walked in with a thermos bottle, his right eye seemed to gather the wind and snow, and smiled creepily: "What did you say?"
