The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 454 Discussion
Principal Jason and his capable assistant, Teacher Duan, had already arrived at the scene early.

This was a meeting at the board level, attended not only by school staff but also by many board members. Their interests are involved in phasing out these simulated training facilities, and follow-up is required from them.

The class advisors of the combat individual soldier and other related majors were also invited, since they are the people most directly involved in this proposal and their presence is needed as a witness.

Before everyone arrived, Stark had already spoken with several leaders and reached an agreement on Jiang Hui's matter, so he was among the first to arrive.

By the time everyone had gradually arrived, the sun was already quite high in the sky.

The school board member in charge of the meeting got straight to the point, stating the purpose of the day, which naturally included the trigger that led to this incident.

The next step, naturally, is for each party to speak.

"I knew those silly kids had been making a fuss since yesterday, thinking something earth-shattering had happened. Turns out it's just this..." Zou Yi said lazily, arms crossed.

Lin Qi asked Stark, who was standing next to him, with some curiosity, "So the kid that the forum was talking about really is yours?" He was obviously a surfing expert as well; he had been following this matter since last night, but he wasn't sure.

Stark remained noncommittal. He was still angry about Jiang Hui's inexplicable dangerous situation, though he knew it wasn't intentional on the child's part and must have been an accident. But it was precisely because it was an accident that he was so distressed.

The whole process was perfectly fine, and the other party was just participating in an ordinary activity, yet they still managed to get into this kind of trouble... It's really infuriating and baffling.

Moreover, the school should have discovered and dealt with the problematic mecha training facility long ago, instead of waiting until students had problems before hastily holding a meeting to resolve it, which shows a perfunctory attitude.

If it had been some other student, not Jiang Hui, who had a weaker mental fortitude, something terrible might have happened by now. The school leaders wouldn't be sitting here so leisurely in a meeting; the school might already be facing a reputational crisis.

However, from the school's perspective, they weren't entirely wrong. After all, these simulated training facilities weren't actually beyond repair. Although the problem arose when Jiang Hui was using them, the school's procedures were correct. Moreover, their subsequent handling of the situation was quite proper, which is why Stark was willing to sit down and discuss the matter.

"So, that student really did encounter an A-level star beast during the simulation?" Lieutenant Colonel Hank frowned. This was what he was most concerned about—the veracity of the event.

Principal Jason, who had already seen the footage through the technical staff, was the most qualified to speak on the matter. He nodded in affirmation and said, "Yes, we have confirmed the data and information left on the port. And it wasn't just Jiang Hui; Valiev from Class 4 of the second year of the Combat Individual Department also reportedly encountered an attack by more than a dozen Class B mechs in the ninth round."

“We also extracted data and video footage from the corresponding time period based on his statement, and it was also in the same simulated training ground. Fortunately, this session only received these two students that day.” “The ninth round shouldn’t have had such a large number of B-class mechs, and first-year students shouldn’t have encountered A-class star beasts. In any case, it can be confirmed that there was a source error in this simulated training ground. Are those two students alright?” Lieutenant Zapp from the fifth squad of the combat individual soldier department asked with concern.

Principal Jason shook his head: "Valiev went to the medical office immediately after leaving the simulation training ground, and the examination showed no problems. However, he experienced dizziness and mental instability the next day, and Therapist Lu has sent him to the hospital for observation. We have also contacted his parents. As for Jiang, he is fine for now, and Captain Stark will follow up on the situation for a while."

"Principal, as far as I know, Jiang from Class One made it into the twelfth round on the first day. If, as you say, she also encountered an A-level star beast and achieved a ranking of 368th on the overall individual leaderboard after the event, then can I assume that she most likely defeated that A-level star beast? Are you sure she's in good condition right now? Perhaps her incubation period is even longer?" Zou Yi said bluntly.

His words surprised the first-grade teacher, because his words, which were clearly full of care and concern, were not at all in line with Zou Yi's personality.

Why is the other party, who has always been at odds with Stark, suddenly speaking up for Stark's prized student?

They misunderstood Zou Yi. He was indeed harsh and not very magnanimous, but he wasn't the type to stubbornly persist in his ways. He did initially have some prejudice against Jiang Hui, simply because she was the prized student of his old rival, Stark.

However, this doesn't mean that after witnessing firsthand the other person's abilities, he would still stubbornly believe that the other person was merely a top student artificially promoted by Stark. The other person was indeed one of the best among the first-year students, and in many aspects, even more outstanding than Holly, whom he had high hopes for.

His feelings towards this child were complex. He felt a sense of crisis, yet also a degree of concern due to the innate protectiveness that interstellar people have towards those who are not fully awakened.

Therefore, his words of support for Jiang Hui at this moment were sincere. Zou Yi genuinely believed that the school should pay closer attention to Jiang Hui's mental state and, ideally, extend the observation period, rather than abandoning the matter simply because she hadn't shown any signs of discomfort yet.

Principal Jason had naturally considered this as well, and replied without hesitation, "That's not a problem. This student has been on observation with Therapist Lu since enrolling due to health issues, and we've been observing him for some time now. We just need to continue the observation."

"May I ask if that student has any health problems?" a school board member asked, as this was one of the things he was most concerned about.

Compared to teachers and school staff at all grade levels, the vast majority of school board members naturally have different concerns.

While eliminating these unexpired simulation training facilities will indeed have some impact on the school's asset ratio, in the event of such an accident, elimination is certainly a reasonable choice.

Although it was just a proposal, everyone knew in their hearts that it would pass without any doubt.

Therefore, their focus shifted to the two injured students. The school board wanted to know if this incident had caused them any long-term or even irreversible damage. This posed a significant threat to the school's reputation, and they urgently needed to confirm whether the matter had been handled properly and whether it would have any subsequent impact on the school.
