The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 749 Mistake
He added, rather aggrievedly, "Who knew they would send out this kind of notice before the national unified entrance examination results were even released?"

That's because you can get into this school no matter how well you do on the exam.

Jiang Hui thought to himself, secretly surprised by the high-handed attitude of this university.

First of all, putting aside the fact that this entrance training is completely detached from the general public, the fact that it locks in students and sends them training notices before the national college entrance examination results are released is quite different from other higher education institutions.

Since the official entrance exam results haven't been released yet, the selection is based on pre-existing criteria. They can't determine who's chosen based on the official results; they're probably looking at potential and family background. And even those selected aren't necessarily sure they applied to St. Pleton's School.

Amidst all this uncertainty, they directly launched entrance training programs for students, as if they were certain that these students would choose them, which shows their arrogance.

That's right. No matter how busy Hillman is, he can't possibly forget something like this. He probably had some initial resistance and wasn't paying attention, which is why he overlooked it.

Looking at the person who was still pretending to be stupid and making funny faces, Jiang Hui couldn't say anything when the words were on the tip of her tongue. Putting everything else aside, after spending so much time with this guy, Jiang Hui had also figured out that the most stubborn among them was Huan Xian, and the second was Hillman.

Some might ask why not Clarence?
Zhou Xiuwen was mostly mild-mannered and rarely showed extreme emotions. However, Clarence was a strong-willed and stubborn person, though not as obstinate as Hillman. He came from a prominent family and his upbringing taught him to weigh the pros and cons and to always prioritize survival, so he was aware of the situation at this moment.

However, Hillman Jiang Hui had observed that this guy, despite his seemingly carefree and even somewhat disorganized demeanor, was extremely stubborn at heart. He would never change his principles and beliefs unless he paid a bloody price. Such people have a hard outer shell and are inflexible inside; forcibly breaking them down from the outside would likely backfire.

His father probably had a good understanding of his temperament, which is why he insisted that he study at St. Pleton College on his own. His purpose was to let him experience and hone his character on his own so that he could grow to a greater extent, rather than blindly following in the shadows and wings of a few friends.

Unexpectedly, this first step had already stirred up the rebellious spirit within him. He probably hadn't truly accepted the arrangement and harbored resentment towards this forced path of education. In his eyes, everything about St. Pulte was forced upon him, and he didn't care. His agreement to go there was a reluctant choice, one he couldn't resist, so naturally he wasn't particularly invested.

This conflict is likely to escalate further, and once it reaches a certain point, it may rebound. Given Hillman's personality, it's hard to say when a major problem might arise.

But these kinds of things are hard to persuade, and I don't know what to say. Especially with Hillman's personality, there's nothing I can do but let him accept reality or wait for time to provide the answer.

Jiang Hui sighed heavily and couldn't help pressing her temples. Why did it seem like the problem children had gotten even more advanced?!
Hillman, on the other hand, was a little confused. He didn't know why his friend suddenly had a complicated expression while they were talking, and then he sighed and looked helpless.

"Let's leave it at that. You should settle down now. You couldn't escape this eventually, and it's your responsibility." Clarence slammed his teacup down on the table with a soft "tap." This was considered impolite by him, showing that he was far from calm.

Upon hearing this, Hillman's expression changed slightly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't, only saying with a slightly somber face, "I understand." Jiang Hui, who had just been hesitating whether to offer some indirect advice, clicked her tongue in amazement. Tsk, only Clarence could handle this guy. She had just thought Hillman was incredibly difficult to persuade, but Clarence had directly pierced through that barrier with his words of profound insight.

Because Hillman was younger than the rest of them and had a rather innocent, romantic, and endearing personality, Clarence was usually quite lenient with him. However, he was also the one who most often advised and restrained Hillman.

Both being scions of noble families heavily restricted by their lineages, and both considered "rebellious sons" of their families, Clarence could be considered Hillman's senior. Their circumstances differed yet subtly resembled each other; Hillman would inevitably tread the same path Clarence had taken. Therefore, Clarence offered Hillman more advice than his other friends.

Clarence's warning was far more impactful than those from Jiang Hui and the others. See, isn't that clear now?!

Seeing that the two had reached a preliminary consensus but both looked awkward, Jiang Hui quickly stepped in to mediate: "Alright, let's leave it at that. It won't take us much effort to accompany you, and we'll just get to see more scenery along the way. Besides, your father said he'll send someone to take us to the western end of the central star sector, so we can still make it to the seminar."

“But you have to stay in the St. Pleton College entrance training seriously. You can come find us when you have time,” Jiang Hui reassured him.

Hillman's eyes lit up: "It's a deal then. Don't complain when I come looking for you guys. Ugh, you guys are so mean! You always make plans to hang out together, but you never take me. This time, you're even going to different schools. Humph, I wonder where you'll be going behind my back?"

All he remembers is playing games, that guy.

The two people opposite each other sighed in unison, exchanged a glance, and didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed.

"We—" Just as Jiang Hui was about to say something, a sudden sound—or rather, several sounds—startled the three people present. It was the sound of the quantum computer receiving a special notification; this kind of ringing usually accompanied messages sent directly by official organizations such as the ruling bureau and the military.

Hillman looked down and said, "Hey? We almost forgot that the college entrance exam results are coming out today."

Yes, today is the day the results of the unified entrance examination for the whole region are announced and the admission notices are received, but none of them paid much attention to it, and they forgot about it as they talked.

The servant who had just come in to deliver the items overheard this and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "No way, have these people all forgotten?!" He thought. "Truly, they're worthy of being Young Master El's good friends. Just a short while ago, they were arguing endlessly about Young Master El forgetting about his entrance training, and now they've all made the same mistake."

You could forget that?!
