The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 499 Transition
"Don't worry, I told you those two know their limits, they always stop short of a fight. Otherwise, we'd be focusing on them every time, and everyone else would have to give way to them." Lin Qi shook his head; today he happened to be assigned to their exam room again.

He was accompanied by Lieutenant Zapp from the fifth squad. Zapp had never seen these two legendary first-year students fight before, and fearing an accident like the one a few days ago, he kept a close eye on them. Then, unexpectedly, they actually ran into each other.

However, both of them were more measured than he had imagined, neither showing off nor being aggressive. They remembered that they were there to take an exam, not to actually engage in mecha combat, and they were both very restrained. He liked these sensible students.

"Look, they're almost at the finish line. There were fewer twists and turns this time. Jiang's maneuver just now clearly gave him an advantage, and he immediately gained the upper hand. The outcome is probably a foregone conclusion."

"Captain Lynch, aren't you going to watch it?" Lieutenant Zapp asked, somewhat puzzled, as the other party turned and walked away before the final result was available.

"Well, it's just the two of them at the finish line. Lieutenant, you can go over and register them. The other students are still taking their exams, so we need to keep a close eye on them. None of them know their own limits. If something really goes wrong, they'll probably just get a scolding at the end-of-term meeting. Last time, that accident led to a meeting that lasted all night."

Lin Qi turned his back and waved his hand from afar, then turned back to look at the students who were still desperately dodging the laser beams.

This is both too worry-free and incredibly worry-free; it would be wonderful if there could be a balance...

Lieutenant Zapp shook his head, seeing that the two had already decided the winner, and then quickly walked over.

--------------

Although it appears that the two arrived at the finish line almost simultaneously, under interstellar technology, anything can be magnified and refined infinitely.

After system evaluation, Jiang Hui won by a mere 0.02 stars and seconds, reaching the finish line first and securing first place in the exam.

The broadcast also updated the information, and Jiang Hui and the others also learned the result.

Finally, the last match was over. Jiang Hui pressed the stop button on the mecha and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the outcome, the seven-day exam is finally over... or rather, nine days if you include the written exam.

Although Jiang Hui was used to this intense, alternating lifestyle, exams were different; she had to consider her grades when taking them. Fortunately, her results this time should be pretty good, which should translate into a considerable number of personal points, so her hard work wasn't in vain.

Jiang Hui parked the mecha in a spot far from the exam venue, and as he emerged from the mecha, he ran into Holly, who was also coming out at the same time.

Despite losing to Jiang Hui by such a narrow margin, the opponent showed no resentment and remained calm, truly living up to his reputation for composure.

The two exchanged a glance without saying a word, but it seemed they had already completed some kind of unknown communication.

The other party nodded slightly to Jiang Hui, then jumped off the mecha and walked towards Lieutenant Zapp to confirm the exam information.

Jiang Hui shook her head and followed.

--------------

It's not even 3 p.m. yet, and some students in different grades and majors are still taking exams, but the students in the Combat Individual Department have basically finished their exams for the semester.

Next, all they have to do is go back to their dorms to pack their things, and then they can go home and end the semester.

As for the exam results, only the practical exams are out so far, but the written exams still need to be graded and the results released. It will probably be about a week before the final scores are available. Jiang Hui didn't rush back to her dorm to pack her things like the other students. She had already packed her things a few days ago, and then put them into her space capsule when she left today, so she could just take the spaceship and leave.

She booked a spaceship ticket for 5:30 PM, estimating she could return to the main route before 10 PM. Normally she'd arrive even earlier, but today the route would definitely be congested, taking a little longer than usual.

So now, during the few hours in between, she can go to the canteen to find something to eat, instead of having to buy their expensive food on the spaceship.

Clarence and Hillman were both students in the Combat Individual Soldier program. After Jiang Hui finished his exams, they followed suit, all with similar itineraries. One was to return to the central new district by starship, while the other was to take a private route to a neighboring planet; both wouldn't depart until after 7 PM.

So the three of them decided to have a meal together in the canteen before leaving.

Of course, when the three of them get together for a meal, the other two are indispensable. Coincidentally, Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian weren't taking exams at the moment, so they were easy to invite.

The group met at their usual spot on the second floor of the cafeteria at exactly 3:00 PM.

Clarence Hillman and Huan Xian were of the same ilk, so they came together.

Seeing the three of them arrive together, Zhou Xiuwen, who had been waiting there, raised an eyebrow: "I heard that classmate Jiang beat that guy from the next class again today. Congratulations."

Jiang Hui: ...How did the news spread so fast?
"You didn't know? As soon as the exam was over, someone started a long thread on the school forum for the two of you. It was very lively, and quite a few people were even discussing who was stronger, you or Holly."

“…How can I fight like this?” Jiang Hui was speechless.

What they did hardly constituted a fight; it was more like a tacit exchange. Neither of them fought seriously; they just sparred a little. Otherwise, given Holly's wolfish nature and her unwillingness to admit defeat, wouldn't they have bitten each other to death on the spot before letting go?!

However, given that both sides were evenly matched, she did indeed have a slight advantage. Jiang Hui wasn't ashamed at all, because she had indeed won, even if it was only by 0.02 star-seconds.

Jiang Hui was fairly satisfied with her progress this semester and was determined to assemble the pine tree in her consciousness space as soon as possible, hoping to train in mecha within that space quickly.

"You... sometimes I don't know whether to call you modest or something else," Zhou Xiuwei said, shaking his head helplessly.

"By the way, I've ordered your meals in advance, so eat quickly. There are a lot of people at the port, so it's better if you go early to queue up. You can also rest inside the ship after boarding. That's great, I also want to go back soon, but unfortunately the schedule arranged by our professionals is really bizarre, so we can only wait until next week."

Yes, Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian haven't finished their exams yet due to their majors, and they'll have to wait a few more days before they can leave. So today, only the three-person combat unit will leave the school; the other two will have to stay for at least four more days to complete their semester's exams.

"respect--"

"This is our last gathering of the semester." Huan Xian raised his arm slightly.

When five such similar bottles collide, another year has passed.

Jiang Hui: Wait until I have double the time and double the practice, then I'll crush you all!

PS: The next chapter will probably be about the power of time.
