Ninth class citizen

Chapter 156 Extra Points

The mentors who worked together to save people remembered their own positions and became clearly divided again soon after returning to the competition venue.

Everyone's focus shifted from the safety of the six students to the points ranking.

"When the chief examiner announced the end of the competition this morning, our Hexi Nengwu ranked first in total points." Vice Principal Qin of Hexi Nengwu said sullenly:
"What's going on now? How come Xiluo Xinghua's points increased by tens of thousands out of nowhere and suddenly surpassed us?"

Vice Principal Lin's mood at the moment was exactly the opposite of his, feeling as light as if he was in the clouds.

He suppressed his excitement and said in a gentle voice:
"Vice Principal Qin should calm down first. The central intelligence computer will not make mistakes. We must trust the organizing committee and the examiners."

"There must be something wrong with Xiluo Xinghua's score. We have also applied for a reinvestigation." Vice President Zhou of Hexi University of Science and Technology said, his eyes flashing with sparks as he looked at Vice President Lin.

Although Shilo Xinghua's series of outrageous actions in the early stages of the wild survival war harmed more than just the Hexi Keda family, they were the ones who suffered the most.

Not only did it suffer the most casualties, but it also only ranked fifth in points, barely surpassing Baimang Chaowu and Kama University.

Coupled with the last-place result in the first stage, it was almost doomed to fail to qualify.

This is a huge difference from what I promised the principal before leading the team out, that we would secure second place and strive for first place. How should I explain this when I return?

Moreover, the order of the ranking competitions is also related to the allocation of provincial education funds for the next four years.

There are so many laboratories in Hexi University of Science and Technology, all waiting for financial support. If I go back in disgrace, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by others.

Therefore, he would rather disregard his image and make a scene in order to find out the mistakes of Xiluo Xinghua and drag them down from their high position.

As for the problem of still being at the bottom after the delay, that is something that needs to be considered later. Anyway, the group stage is not over yet, and there is still an all-around competition at the end, so the team still has a chance to improve its ranking.

The chief examiner had already finished speaking with the chief of the Hexi Province Garrison Office and had received a series of concessions and promises from the other party. He was in a good mood, so he patiently listened to the demands of each team.

Xiluo Xinghua has now become the target of public criticism. It is an indisputable fact that the points have increased significantly after the end of the game. Therefore, following Hexi Nengwu and Hexi University of Science and Technology, the tutors of several other universities have also expressed their dissatisfaction.

The chief examiner waited until everyone had finished speaking before sending a reply letter from the organizing committee of this competition to the public channel. The content was roughly as follows:

After discussion by the organizing committee, the six black net warriors who were killed by the Shiloh Xinghua school team last night can calculate their points by comparing them with the monsters of the same level.

Their identities have been confirmed by the central intelligent computer. They are all masters who have become famous in the black network. There are five fourth-level mecha warriors and one third-level extraordinary person. The total points converted are as high as 35,000.

The tutors from each school looked at each other in bewilderment. They had all heard Haydn's report last night and knew that there had been an invasion, but that was all.

I thought that anyone who could be wiped out by Xiluo Xinghua in a sneak attack could not be a master, and I never expected that it would be such a configuration.

"Impossible." Vice Principal Qin and Vice Principal Zhou said in unison.

"Five fourth-level warriors plus one third-level transcendent. Not to mention the Xiluo Xinghua school team, even if the seven teams participating in the competition joined together, they might not be their opponents." Vice Principal Qin analyzed rationally.

"That's right." Vice Principal Zhou said, "The incident happened at five in the morning. With the strength of the invaders, plus the help of the hypnotist, it is impossible for them to be in vain, not to mention that they were completely counterattacked. And no one from the Xiluo Xinghua school team was even injured - this is totally unreasonable." "Oh?" The chief examiner frowned slightly, "According to what you said, as long as you two school teams can't do it, others definitely can't do it either?"

"We don't mean that." Vice Principal Qin said, "But this matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly."

"Actually, there's no need to bother with this." Caesar, who had been standing aside and listening for a while, interrupted, "I roughly know what's going on."

The examiners and tutors were all confused about what had just happened, so they asked the four injured students to go back and rest first, and only called Nan Rong and Caesar over alone.

Vice Principal Qin looked at Caesar with a very gentle look: "Caesar, the captain of our school team, has just been promoted to a fourth-level warrior in battle. You might as well listen to his opinions. This kid is a very honest person, he will definitely say what he means, and he won't play those conspiracies and tricks."

As he said this, his eyes swept across Nan Rong indifferently, and then quickly retracted them.

Nan Rong: I seriously suspect someone is implying something about me!
Before Caesar spoke, he turned and looked at Nan Rong, as if asking for her consent.

Nan Rong did not stop him because the causes of the casualties, whether it was the bodies of the gray-clothed men or the two mecha warriors who had become idiots, could not be concealed.

Everyone present also looked at Nan Rong, and then turned to Caesar.

"I can attest that the Hilo Star Chinese School team has the strength to defeat those sneak attackers," he said. "They deserve the first place, and we are convinced."

The team of mentors present, including Xiluo Xinghua, all thought they had heard wrongly.

Vice Principal Qin raised his voice twice: "Caesar, do you know what you are saying? You were fighting with the monsters all night last night, and you didn't see what they did, right?"

"But I have fought alongside them before." Caesar said solemnly, "and twice."

"Don't you want to know how we, with only six micro mechas, were able to defeat those two medium-sized military mechas? It was because of Nan Rong."

At this moment, Nan Rong became the focus of everyone in the audience.

Her expression remained as calm as before, as if the person Caesar was talking about was not her.

"Nan Rong?" Vice Principal Zhou looked her up and down in surprise. "I know her. She's a second-level genetic optimizer. She's also very talented in components and can even operate mechas. But if you say she can play a key role in the battle against medium-sized mechas, that's a joke."

Although the other mentors didn't say anything, the word "disbelief" was clearly written on their faces.

Not only that, some people frequently looked at Caesar and Nan Rong, and then found that Caesar's gaze at Nan Rong was too passionate, which had gone beyond the scope of ordinary classmates.

"I understand." A teacher at Savannah University said with a smile, "When young people fight side by side and experience life and death tests, it is easy for them to develop other emotions. Vice President Qin, I am afraid that your Captain Caesar is in love."

That's why they are willing to give up the credit.

This is probably the most reasonable and most acceptable explanation.
