The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 379 The Library (Part 2)
The mecha training is also progressing gradually, and students in each class are already able to pilot the mechas for a couple of rounds.

Of course, what she meant by "fighting" was just controlling the bulky fuselage to pounce on each other a few times. If you could stand up halfway by supporting yourself on the fuselage after falling headfirst, that would be considered impressive.

However, Stark cautioned that they were still in the adaptation period, and most students needed to improve their mental resilience to adapt to the mechs. Therefore, it was not advisable for these new students to start operating the mechs in a big way right away; it depended on their individual endurance.

It is said that a series of four-session large classes will be held about a month before the end of the semester, during which several classes will be combined for practical training, with guidance from the class advisors of each class.

Jiang Hui has no problems in the mecha practical course, even though Stark has high requirements for her.

So, everything should have gone smoothly, and her mindset should have been on the right track. However, Jiang Hui inexplicably fell into a strange state of anxiety.

She felt stuck at some strange point in her mecha research, neither progressing nor failing.

It's not that I can't learn, but my learning efficiency has suddenly dropped. It's not like before when I could absorb as much as I could. It's like a rusty machine that has stopped working.

This is actually quite normal. People have limited learning abilities, and their capacity to absorb different knowledge varies. It's impossible to maintain a constant learning pace for everything. Her situation likely stems from learning simple things incredibly quickly initially, so naturally she slowed down when learning more difficult material. This is easily understood…

But Jiang Hui always felt something was off. She felt she could learn it, and her comprehension ability hadn't reached its limit and was even expanding. However, whenever she encountered some difficult points, she would suddenly get stuck, which seriously affected her research.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find the reason, so she could only keep it to herself for the time being. Little did she know that her friends would see through her anxiety, which she thought she had hidden well.

Jiang Hui thought about it and realized that he had indeed been cooped up for a long time without stopping. He had hardly done any other activities during this period, and he hadn't even gone back to his home in the main continent during the two-week holiday. He had just been immersed in his research in the dormitory.

Perhaps she should really listen to Hillman and Zhou Xiuwen, take a break, and find some other activities to relax.

Jiang Hui's new way to relax was to read books.

If Zhou Xiuwen and the others knew what she was thinking right now, they'd probably collapse in disbelief. "No, we told you to relax and have some fun, why are you reading books again? Aren't you afraid of getting more confused the more you study?"
Jiang Hui couldn't think of any other way to relax. Stark reminded her that it was best not to run around too much for the next two or three months, and since the trauma from last time hadn't faded yet, she didn't want to go back to the main continent for the time being.

This small area was quite desolate, with hardly any decent recreational activities. After much thought, Jiang Hui had no choice but to return to reading.

However, this time she wasn't looking for basic concept books or thick history books, but rather biographical novels.

Jiang Hui decided to find some novels to read to clear her head and see if it would help her relax. So, she chose a less busy after-school day to wander around the library. As soon as she entered, the librarian glanced at her ID and said, "Student, you haven't been here much lately..."

Jiang Hui was taken aback, not expecting the other person to remember her, and honestly replied, "I've been a bit busy lately."

It has indeed been a long time; she hasn't been here for almost two months. How could this librarian still recognize her? Does working as a librarian here require an exceptionally good memory?
Jiang Hui shook her head to clear her mind of this far-fetched thought. Little did she know that the librarian was also wondering how many books this student would have to flip through this time. Last time, she flipped through thirty-nine books when she was only a week old. This time, she had taken so long to come, so her speed had probably deteriorated a bit.

Yes, ever since discovering Jiang Hui, this "flip-book monster," the other person had been secretly observing this strange classmate for a long time, and would secretly observe her every time she came to the library. The librarian noticed that this person always behaved strangely in the same way, picking up books one by one and flipping through them without even glancing at them, as if she had read them.

At first, he thought she was just putting on an act, but as she did it more and more often, her strange behavior persisted, and in fact, her speed improved, flipping through more and more pages faster and faster. The last time she came, she could already turn through thousands of pages in a single week without even worrying about her fingers getting worn out.

Therefore, the administrator strongly suspects that flipping through books is this student's quirk, and that she might be using this method to relieve academic pressure. Otherwise, why would she always leave so happily after quickly flipping through the pages...? Is flipping through books really that enjoyable?
But to be honest, the fact that the other person hasn't come for nearly two months has made him lose a lot of his fun, and he's returned to his old, uneventful life.

The other person had flipped to the third bookshelf in section B last time, and based on her usual habits, she would probably continue browsing on that shelf. "I wonder which books she'll pick today. Putting everything else aside, she really has good taste in books. Whether it's a coincidence or something else, I wondered to myself as I secretly observed her."

Unexpectedly, this time the other party bypassed the previous deadline and went to another section—a place they had never set foot in before. No, that's the biography section, the novel and biography section that's just there to make up the numbers.

The librarian watched as Jiang Hui settled on the first bookshelf, picked up the first book on the top left, and began flipping through its pages. Had he forgotten where he'd been since he'd been...? The librarian, silently regretting his earlier mistake, scratched his head.

"...Hello, sir?" "This gentleman?"

A sudden, loud voice rang in his ears, instantly drawing the administrator's attention. He then realized he had been so engrossed in observing the area that he hadn't noticed someone calling him.

The librarian assumed it was another student borrowing books and was about to take the bag when he unexpectedly saw a strange young man.

Although the person was unfamiliar, the administrator recognized the name tag pinned to the left of the person's chest; it was a name tag that only senior faculty members hired by the school were qualified to have.

Besca Intermediate Academy only had seven senior instructors, no, now it should be eight. It is said that the school recently recruited a renowned intermediate mecha pilot.
