I love you, brother, but you, the evil god, must fall into good.

The entrance to the No. 1 Middle School was already packed with people.

It felt more like a temporary, live-streamed event than a monthly exam.

Various floating cameras, portable terminals, and even short video bloggers who came specifically to ride the wave of popularity almost completely surrounded the open space in front of the school gate.

Discussions continued to circulate among the crowd.

"Is it today? That Lynn?"

"Yes, the one without a sequence."

"I heard their class is having a match today. Isn't this practically a public execution?"

"I've already started my live stream, and I've even thought of a title: The Last Stand of a Fallen Genius."

"Hilarious, I reckon we'll get ten viral videos today."

"..."

Lynn stood at the edge of the crowd, watching the scene with a blank expression.

He suddenly felt a pang of emotion, wondering if this was what they called popularity.

That's a bit too real.

but.

Most people's eyes are not very friendly.

You could even say they're waiting to see the joke.

After all, it's like a student without a class order participating in a class competition during the monthly exam practice session.

It looks like they're just here to collect material.

"rest assured."

A familiar voice came from beside me.

Ao Yao patted Lin En on the shoulder, her tone unusually gentle.

"So what if I embarrass myself on stage later? A mother doesn't mind if her son is ugly, and a dog doesn't mind if its home is poor!"

Lynn: "..."

Isn't this way of comforting someone a little too irritating?

next second.

Ao Yao took something out of her pocket and handed it over.

"for you."

Lynn looked down and saw a clown mask.

It has a standard red nose, a standard wide grin, and even a cheap plastic sheen.

Hajime also paused for a second.

"What is this?"

"A mask."

"I can tell."

Lynn looked at her.

"I'm asking, what are you going to do with this?"

Ao Yao looked completely at ease.

"To protect you."

"Even if you get beaten black and blue, you won't be able to get a picture of your face."

Lynn: "..."

He held the mask and looked at it again.

"You're quite thoughtful."

"certainly."

Ao Yao nodded.

"But be careful not to break it."

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

Why?

"Otherwise, we can't offer the seven-day no-reason return policy."

The air was silent for a second before Lynn slowly turned to look at her.

"Are you serious?"

"certainly."

"...Yao, you should keep it for yourself."

Ao Yao: No? ? ? Did you omit a word?

.........

.........

To save data, the screen changes.

Playground No. 1.

We are now fully in the midst of the monthly exam.

In the central area, the row of silver-white testing machines had all been activated, their cold light flowing across the metal surfaces, resembling some kind of sophisticated judgment device.

This is the Galaxy Federation's standardized testing equipment.

It can detect sequence fluctuations and assess mental strength level and overall physical strength in real time.

This is a core component of the monthly exam.

And this moment.

The area around the playground was completely surrounded by people.

The crowd was ridiculously dense.

Students, off-campus spectators, short video bloggers, and even account operators who came specifically to gain traffic... all crowded in the outer circle, with the camera pointed at the center of the playground.

The air was filled with excitement and anticipation.

"They're here! Class One is entering!"

"Where's Lynn? Find him quickly!"

"I heard he's going to have a real match today?"

"They dare to participate in the competition without any prior knowledge of the game's mechanics? Aren't they just providing free material for the enemy team?"

"The buzz surrounding this today is absolutely explosive."

"..."

The discussions surged like a tidal wave.

The first group slowly entered the venue.

Ao Yao walked at the front, her expression calm, but her gaze swept over the outer crowd with obvious impatience.

Lynn followed in the middle of the group, walking very normally with a calm expression.

It was as if the noise and cameras around him had nothing to do with him.

Ok.

In reality, Hajime was trying not to laugh! The thought of what he was about to see made him almost unable to hold back.

He even observed the structure of the testing machines in order to suppress his smirk.

On the other side, outside the railing, the heat continued to rise.

"Is he Lynn?"

"Aside from his good looks, which are typical of readers, he seems quite ordinary."

"The more handsome the better, so the contrast will be greater later."

"Class Zero is here, are we going to start fighting today?"

The crowd stirred again at the other entrance.

The zero-team team slowly entered.

The place was orderly and quiet, with an extremely strong sense of oppression; almost everyone maintained a stable mental state.

In stark contrast to Class One, the atmosphere was instantly brought to its peak.

The testing process has officially begun.

In the center of the No. 1 playground, the silver-white testing equipment lit up one by one, and the cold light flowed like water on the metal surface.

The first item in the monthly exam is the public evaluation of basic data.

In the zero-shift area, Zhou hope slowly walked forward.

She stood in front of the testing device, her expression calm, as if she were already used to this scene.

Accompanied by the gentle release of mental energy.

hum!

The machine quickly completed the scan.

"Sequence 012, [Emperor Wa]!"

"Realm, late first stage!"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment when the data popped up.

"This is the Nuwa sequence?!"

"Sequence 012, this is already a top-level sequence, right? No wonder she's the class monitor of Class Zero, this kind of sequence is different from the start."

"And he's already at the first-tier advanced stage at only fourth year of high school... This is truly the line of genius."

The crowd was shaken, and many teachers also glanced at them slightly.

This sequence, even within the entire senior class of the ancestral planet, belongs to an extremely rare group of geniuses.

In the area where Lynn was in class, discussions were equally heated.

"The class monitor of Class Zero has such an outrageous set of connections..."

"What will the mice use to fight?"

"Let's vote!"

Just as everyone's emotions were getting tense, someone walked out from the first area.

Ao Yao.

She glanced at Class Zero, snorted coldly, and stepped directly onto the testing platform.

Mental energy is projected outward, and the machine scans rapidly.

"Sequence 019, [Powerful]!"

"Realm level, mid-stage of the first tier!"

After the result was announced, the scene was quiet for a second before erupting into an uncontrollable commotion.

"Class monitor, you're amazing! You actually broke through to the mid-stage of the first tier!"

"They'll beat the kids from Class Two so badly they'll poop!"

"..."
