I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 8: The School Bully

At the same time that Li Nuo was simulating fungus cultivation in his residence, the Cram Cigarette Factory was welcoming a large group of students.

The main structure of the factory is a heavily guarded building. It is magnificent, has more than seventy floors, and is only slightly lower than the ceiling of the lower nest.

The building is surrounded by a five-meter-high wall with electrified barbed wire on top.

Except for the visitor lobby on the first floor, which has doors and windows, the other floors of the building are airtight and do not even have windows.

Students from Xiachao College gathered in the square in front of the building.

The full name of the college is Vogue Charity College.

Eighteen years ago, in order to commemorate the birth of his daughter, the governor of this planet, Lord Fugais, founded charity colleges in various regions of the Lower Nest.

Thanks to Lord Vorges's kindness and foresight, the Hive City's current literacy rate is much higher than that of other imperial worlds, and the total output value of industrial products is also among the highest in the Solar Sector.

Charity College is a half-day school with only three grades.

The first grade learns Low Gothic, the second grade learns mathematics, and the third grade learns a craft.

The students waiting in line in the square have all completed their second year and are planning to choose one of the various skills offered by the college as their future life direction.

They were lucky, as the most sought-after job in Xiachao District invited them today.

"I want to be a supervisor on the assembly line, so that I can take some tobacco home every day, hehehe~"

A boy rubbed his hands excitedly and smiled from ear to ear, as if he had been officially accepted as an apprentice.

"You secretly brought tobacco home? You are amazing." Another boy rolled his eyes and said with a scornful look:

"Don't you know that there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the cigarette factory? You might be arrested by law enforcement the moment you leave the factory. In my opinion, the laboratory has more prospects. As long as I find three new yeasts, I can become the leader of the research team and maybe even join the Pharmacist Association."

"Tsk~ Over the years, the Pharmacist Association has already turned the lower nest upside down. There is no way there is any new yeast for you to discover."

"That's better than just waiting to die on the assembly line..."

"Say it again, who is just eating and waiting to die? My family has been managers for three generations..."

Two boys were arguing in the crowd, and the students around them joined in the fun.

The security personnel guarding the square were ready to step forward to stop them.

Before that, a cold female voice forcibly interrupted the argument.

"Be quiet! Instead of arguing, spend your time reviewing! If you don't study hard now, you won't be able to pass even the simplest exams. How can you expect to be an apprentice in a cigarette factory?"

The girl who was speaking had her hands on her hips and stood with her legs apart. Her pretty face showed a maturity that did not match her age. She was full of energy and had a strong aura.

The boys who were arguing shuddered together, lowered their heads to open the books in their hands, and began to read seriously.

The students who were watching the fun did the same thing, lowering their heads to read books to show their submission to the person who was speaking.

It’s okay not to accept it.

She was the daughter of the dean of the college, and her name was Amy Maltz.

Whether in terms of academic performance, vision, or status in the academy, Amy crushes other students.

Anyone who disagrees can expect to be fired from the academy the next day and go play in the mud on the black sand beach.

The place was completely silent, with only the sound of flipping pages.

But this tranquility did not last long as it was broken by a sudden whisper.

"Huh? So many people?"

"Tsk—" Amy hated being disturbed when she was reading.

She clicked her tongue impatiently and glared at the door with a frown on her face.

She wanted the new student to be quiet, but she was stunned when she saw a familiar face she hadn't seen for a few days.

…"Excuse me, you guys continue reading, I'll wait for you."

Li Nuo passed the inspection of the security personnel at the door, stepped into the small square, and saw a large group of students looking at him.

The one closest to him was a girl with short hair, a chubby baby face, and clear, bright eyes. She looked somewhat cute, but she also looked fierce, with her eyebrows standing up like an inverted eight, and she was obviously very angry.

Li Nuo felt the pressure from the female academic bully and immediately realized that he had disturbed her reading. He quickly forced a smile, apologized, and stood aside.

"Eh? Isn't that Li Nuo? Why is he here? Does he meet the registration requirements?"

"As long as he learns Low Gothic and math, he can sign up, but... well, I don't think he can even pass the first exam. He hasn't read a book in days, he probably can't even draw a coordinate system."

"Be quiet," Amy said coldly.

The sound of discussion disappeared instantly.

Li Nuo stood at the edge of the square.

He heard the students' mutterings about him, but so what.

He has long since left adolescence, so why bother arguing with a little brat like a hot-blooded teenager?

However, Amy thought Li Nuo's calm demeanor was self-abandonment.

In Amy's impression, Li Nuo's family background seemed to be not very good, and his personality was withdrawn and introverted, but fortunately his grades were always among the best.

It was such a pity to see him get eliminated in the first exam.

Thinking this in her mind, Amy took out a Low Gothic textbook from her bag and walked over:
"Li Nuo, the first test is about the Low Gothic language we learned in the academy. Don't take it lightly. I have finished reading this book. I will lend it to you first. Remember to return it to me when you leave later."

At this time, Li Nuo had already remembered who the girl in front of him was.

Isn’t this the famous female academic master and rich woman in the college?

The original owner of this body seemed to have a good relationship with the other party, and there was a sense of mutual admiration between the two academic masters.

Li Nuo smiled and took the textbook with both hands:

"Thanks, Amy. I'll remember to return it to you."

Amy suddenly clenched her right hand into a fist, with her right forearm erected in front of her body. Her body was straight, and her eyes were bright:
"Come on, don't give up, study for the future of the human empire."

After saying that, Amy returned to the end of the line and continued reading.

Li Nuo froze in place, having been struck hard by the opponent's thunder.

This…

Is this the unique feeling of relaxation among adolescent boys and girls? It's really so childish.

With a casual glance, Li Nuo saw an unexpected scene.

The students were not surprised by Amy's behavior, nor did they laugh at her secretly. Instead, they became serious, as if the future of the human empire really rested on their shoulders.

Li Nuo then remembered something.

Before formally learning Low Gothic, students will take a few introductory classes to learn about the current situation of the human empire.

Therefore, students will learn about concepts such as "Hive City", "Terra Time", "Mechanicus", and "Psychic", and will also establish the belief of striving for progress.

Of course, the enlightenment education class will not involve dangerous knowledge of the warp. Students only know about psionics, but do not know the relationship between psionics and the warp.

What Amy just said is something that students chant collectively before class every day, so no one thinks there is a problem with it.

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Li Nuo calmed down and read a book.

Half an hour later, accompanied by the mechanical sound of gears meshing, the main door of the building opened driven by the hydraulic system.
