Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

……

The comments section was filled with people seeing how pathetic Lao Yue was, acting so "humble" in front of Qi Ji, all for the sake of a three-day holiday...

Those Tsukimi fans who had gone on a rampage and tried to take advantage of Tsukimi's sudden surge in popularity just a couple of days ago suddenly felt overwhelmed.

'It's so embarrassing that the character I like is fawning over the character I hate...'

There are indeed viewers with this mentality in the comments section.

As for Saki's fans, they were extremely pleased with themselves.

"Where's Yue Xiaogui? Speak up! Wasn't he acting pretty arrogant these past few days?"

"Is your brother Ji more powerful or Haji Yue more powerful? Huh???"

Of course, there were also some dissenting voices:

"Hilarious! I boldly predict that Su Shi will win. Can you feel it?"

"Saki has ten defeats, but Su Shi has ten victories!"

"Oh Negey! Lead us to that damn victory, Sussex! We'll do anything!"

"That's right, Su Shi will be the winner! This is the superior class's overwhelming advantage over the ordinary class, the absolute suppression of aristocratic geniuses by commoner brats!"

"The strongest from the elite families vs. the strongest from the commoners!"

The composition of those who post these kinds of bullet comments is complex.

Some are "extreme fans" of Tsukimi who have temporarily "switched" to Susei's camp, just to criticize Saki.

Some are simply "rebuttal types," who like to claim to be the only sober one in a world of drunks.

Of course, some viewers, after careful analysis, genuinely favor Su Shi.

After all, the plaintiff has a very powerful background and a deep connections.

The Thousand Faces family is one of the three great Echoing Families of the City of Fire, possessing an astonishing foundation.

Su Shi is the most outstanding genius of the Thousand Faces family in this generation.

He showed his talent from a young age, and the resources and training he received were top-notch.

Compared to Saki, Susei's record is equally impressive.

He crushed his peers all the way up, without a single defeat!

In the minds of many, the "power" of appealing to the world is more orthodox and more convincing.

In short, amidst such debates and arguments, the time for the joint practical course was approaching.

Tsukimi, unusually proactive, led the Class 8 members to the training ground ahead of time.

The students from Class One were already waiting there.

Each of them possessed a refined aura and extraordinary temperament, highlighting the uniqueness of the elite class.

And when Saki, who hadn't shown up for a month, finally appeared today, the moment he stepped onto the training field with Class 8—

All eyes in the room turned to Saki.

They were quite curious about this student who had been making headlines recently.

As a top-tier class, their only interaction with Class 8 was the practical assessment at the beginning of the semester.

At the time, although Qi Ji's masked appearance was somewhat similar to that of Su Shi in their class, it left a slight impression.

However, they had no idea about Qi Ji's true strength.

All I remember is that on that day, they cleared out their assigned rift area early in the assessment, and much later, the students from Class 8 arrived late and barely managed to complete the assessment.

Although, Saki did indeed take first place in the individual points of both classes later on.

But many students in Class 1 felt that there might have been an element of luck involved.

After all, if someone is really that good, they should have been specially admitted to Class 1 when they enrolled, right?

Those who can enter the elite class are all students with talent and background, and at least one outstanding quality. They are all more or less arrogant.

In fact, a large portion of them came specifically hoping to see the imposters from the regular class exposed in front of the real geniuses.

Especially the boys.

I'm a little envious of how Saki Saku puts on a mask, hides his face that he's too ashamed to show, and markets himself as a stunningly handsome man, thus attracting a group of girls to chase after him...

Bah! I misspoke, it should be contempt!

They look down on it!

Saki's methods to attract the opposite sex are truly despicable!

Why didn't they think of this...?

Seeing that everyone from both classes had arrived, Ms. Huang Lu, the teacher of Class One, looked at Yue Jian, who was slacking off and reading a novel again, and asked for his opinion:

"Tsukimi-sensei, do you think we should continue with the regular classes according to the curriculum, or..."

Upon hearing this, Tsukimi immediately looked up from the romance novel in her hands and impatiently interrupted the other person, saying:

"Why bother with classes? Let those two brats beat them up first! After they're done, I'll have a holiday..."

Lao Yue's little thoughts were practically written all over her face.

When Su Shi heard what Teacher Yuejian said, she seemed to think that "Saki is bound to win," and her delicate eyebrows under the mask furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She stepped forward, bowed slightly to Teacher Huang Lu, and spoke calmly, with an undeniable confidence:

"Teacher Huang, let me and Qi Ji have our competition first."

Anyway, it's a practical course, and practical experience is the best teaching method.

After our battle, you can then combine our practical experience with explanations and analyses.

I think this will be more helpful to students in both classes.

The proposal to appeal to the world was reasonable, and almost everyone present looked on with anticipation.

Teacher Huang Lu glanced at the eager students, and then at Yuejian, who looked like she wanted to finish quickly so she could go home.

Finally, his gaze swept over the calm Qi Ji and the confident Su Shi, and he finally smiled and nodded:

"Alright, then let's do as Su Shi said, and you two can have a friendly exchange first."

but--

There are still a few minutes left before the scheduled start time for class.

Let's wait a little longer and give the two students some time to prepare and get ready, shall we?

Although everyone was eager to see the two super geniuses among the first-year students clash, it was only a few minutes, so they could wait.

Moreover, Professor Huang Lu's thoughtful consideration, allowing both parties time to prepare, made the presentation more formal and professional.

Upon hearing this, the crowd suppressed their eagerness and began whispering among themselves, discussing who was stronger, who would win, and speculating about the possible battle.

However, the next second, noisy footsteps came from outside the training field.

Everyone turned to look at the sound and were surprised to find that Ms. Jing, the class teacher of Class 3, was leading more than 20 students from her class to the training ground!

"Teacher Huang Lu, Teacher Yue Jian, would you mind if I brought my students to observe and learn from you?"

Ms. Jing, the teacher in Class 3, is a beautiful female teacher with the appearance of a well-bred lady.

Teacher Huang Lu smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course you're welcome."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another commotion came from the entrance of the training ground!

Class 2, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7... the other classes in the first grade all arrived one after another!

Even some older students who heard the news secretly skipped class or made excuses to sneak over and hide behind the crowd or on the high stands of the training field to join in the fun.

The scene grew larger and larger, the number of onlookers increased, and the atmosphere became more and more heated...

The Class 8 members, who had initially been full of confidence in Saki, couldn't help but start to feel nervous for him.

……

……

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Liuli's Infallible Method is No Problem!

"Will Sakizawa-kun... win?"

For a moment, the students in Class 8 were even more nervous than Saki.

If we win in such a big event, we'll naturally feel proud and elated.

As fellow students in Class 8, they too could benefit greatly from Qi Ji's fame.

But what if we lose, all under the watchful eyes of everyone...

She still lost to Susei, who wore a mask just like Saki-chan and even openly called Saki-chan an "imposter"...

The scene is too beautiful to even imagine!

Although deep down they didn't think Qiji would lose, their opponent this time was, after all, Sushi from the Thousand Faces family!

Su Shi from Class One has now reached the center of the field.

She was quietly moving her wrists and ankles, exuding a powerful aura.

That confident and composed demeanor, as if he were just going through the motions, put considerable pressure on the students of Class 8.

Of course, the most nervous and emotionally conflicted person in Class 8 was Bai Lili.

Because she felt that Su Shi's challenge to Qi Ji was entirely due to her involvement, and it was her fault.

If she hadn't caused that trouble back then, Saki wouldn't have been targeted by Susumu...

It's all her fault...

Moreover, she didn't want either of them to lose.

Su Shi is her fiancé, so she should hope that Su Shi wins.

Kasaki Sakuya-kun...

She didn't want to see Saki lose, no matter what...

"Lili?"

Just as Bai Lili was lost in thought, Liuli, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up, her gentle voice interrupting her thoughts.

The girl had somehow gotten very close to her, her long, misty purple hair almost brushing against her shoulder.

Liuli tilted her head slightly, looking at Bai Lili. The girl wore her usual smile and asked softly, in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Su Shi and Qi Ji... who would you rather win?"

"..."

Bai Lili had no answer.

……

Since Bai Lili risked her life to save Liuli a month ago, the two quickly became best friends in the eyes of outsiders, sharing everything and being inseparable.

Of course, all of this was undoubtedly due to Liuli's deliberate approach.

How to describe the current level of their friendship?

Bai Lili had almost reached the point where she was completely obedient to Liuli.

Because in Bai Lili's opinion, Liuli is a really nice person!

It smells sweet and soft, and its smile is so gentle.

Moreover, they are extremely, extremely, extremely understanding!

As if she could see through all her troubles, Liuli even offered to fully support her "marriage" and help her win the lawsuit.

During the month that Qi Ji was away, Liu Li offered various suggestions and strategies to Bai Lili.

From the timing of the chance encounter, to the choice of gift, to the topics of conversation...

She was acting like a love strategist.
