"Jiang Hui from Class 2, Grade 1, hit the bullseye nine times in total, scoring 108 points, for a total of 1588 points."

"He Si from Class 2, Grade 2, hit the bullseye nine times, scoring 108 points, for a total of 1588 points."

"Beep beep—Exam over. Please stop all actions you are taking. Do not attempt to change your final score. Violators will have a deduction from their total score." The system at the testing station announced this three times in a row.

The system had made the instructions so clear, and no one dared to risk testing whether the testing station would deduct points from their scores. They all obediently stopped and waited for the proctor to speak.

With the outer protective shield of the testing platform removed, the sounds outside could be heard clearly. The testing platform, in its testing mode, had created a completely isolated, soundproof space; only the sounds of fighting and shooting could be heard, with no external noise or interference whatsoever.

Manolin expressionlessly gestured for the remaining people to come out, and after they all left the cabin, she handed the testing station to Captain Lynch, who was in charge of the second session. Then she led this group of students to the backstage conference hall in Zone H.

Jiang Hui and the other first-year students thought it was all over after the exams, but they didn't expect that they couldn't leave even after the exams... What's the point of gathering them here? Is there some kind of post-exam seminar or something...?

As Jiang Hui and her friends had guessed, there really was a seminar. Nearly 200 students who took the shooting exam in Zone H today were scheduled to attend a post-exam seminar in this conference hall later.

This homeroom teacher, supposedly from Class 2 of the second year, seemed quite formidable; even the second-year students appeared somewhat intimidated by her. Therefore, Jiang Hui could only follow behind, quietly as a chicken.

I don't know why, but I inexplicably felt that the other person wasn't in a good mood...

Fortunately, there were seats in the meeting room. After Manolin led them over, she signaled to the therapists waiting in the back to examine and treat them. However, most of the people present did not have any problems.

This time, Jiang Hui was unusually well-behaved and finished the exam without any trouble. She then waited patiently with the other first-year students for their self-reflection and review.

They were supposed to be a group of first-year students, but there weren't many, only five or six, and Jiang Hui didn't recognize any of them.

Yes, after eliminating the seventeen troublemakers at the beginning, less than half of the remaining forty-odd candidates remained at the end of the exam. These other half who dropped out weren't eliminated through any trickery or anything; they were simply eliminated normally.

They were either eliminated because they were hit multiple times by other participants during the shooting exercise, or because their accuracy was far below average. There were even two unlucky ones who were tricked off the testing platform by the elusive moving target...

Therefore, only twenty-three test takers persevered to the end in the first round, which is only one-third of the original sixty test takers. The pass rate was extremely low.

Jiang Hui and He Si had the highest scores, both exceeding 1,500 points, making them tied. However, Jiang Hui felt she had done her best, and the other person seemed more like they were just being stubborn, as no matter how many shots she fired, the other person would respond with the same number, making it seem like they were completely going against her.

Jiang Hui really wanted to say... classmate, you're very good yourself, why can't you follow your own pace and be a sharpshooter? You have to follow her rhythm, and you know you're suffering because of it?
But for some reason, the thirty-odd students who made it through last remained outside, leaving only about twenty of them inside. Perhaps traumatized by the previous group of ferocious second-year students, the remaining five or six all moved closer to her as soon as she sat down.

Jiang Hui: ...

There's really no need to worry. The exams are all over, so what's there to be afraid of?!

As if to dispel the tension, these classmates from different classes took the initiative to chat with Jiang Hui.

To be honest, Jiang Hui isn't exactly a sociable person; on the contrary, she's not the type to naturally make friends. Even her close friends occasionally remark that she can be a bit too aloof and always seems to detach herself from others.

Apart from Clarence and Man, who approached her, she had hardly any acquaintances in Class Two. She had only had brief and superficial conversations with most of the other students... It was unclear whether they were wary of her or if her aura was too faint, making them hesitant to approach her.

Although these girls were unfamiliar to her, they were all very outgoing and quite pretty... Jiang Hui wasn't particularly close to anyone, but she didn't know how to refuse them. Since they were just sitting close together and chatting, she tacitly agreed.

When Man came in, she saw Jiang Hui surrounded by a group of students from other classes. The usually calm Jiang Hui looked a little uncomfortable, and she thought she was seeing things.

Of course, she was just slow to react, not really stupid, and immediately walked over here.

As for those few from before, their companions also came over with the second round. Someone suddenly urged them to go over, and they looked at her with some difficulty... Jiang Hui indicated that they were free to leave, and the few of them then said goodbye with apologetic eyes and left.

She looked at the several new contact requests in her hand, feeling somewhat annoyed. "Uh, how did it suddenly escalate to exchanging computer communication numbers?"

Man leaned over and said to Jiang Hui with a smile, "Jiang Hui is really popular. I saw that one of those people is the class monitor of Class 5. I heard he's very good at theoretical studies and will probably transfer to the academic department next semester."

Jiang Hui followed her gaze and immediately recognized the class monitor of Class 5 that the other woman was referring to. It was the very beautiful half-Chinese, half-Korean woman who had been sitting to her left earlier; Jiang Hui remembered that her name was Xie Lin.

The other person was also looking in her direction at that moment. Their eyes met, and they nodded slightly, finally exchanging names.

Then Mancai remembered to congratulate Jiang Hui on scoring first place in the first round, and looked excited and proud.

After talking for a while, Jiang Hui seemed to remember something and asked with some doubt, "What about Chen? I remember he said he was taking the second exam, just like you."
