The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa's answer was indeed a solution, but it didn't seem to be enough.

Melody, as if arguing for the sake of arguing, asked again:

"But drinking more hot water can only prevent ordinary poisoning, right? What if it's a poison prepared using special methods that is impervious to high temperatures and immune to purification by holy light?"

"Cold salad."

Valensa shrugged:

"Even the top student is just a student. Do you really think I know everything?"

After saying that, she put on an obedient expression and looked at Hugh, who had been watching their discussion:

"Does Professor Hugh have any good ideas? For those particularly potent toxins?"

"..."

Hugh remained silent for a moment, without answering Valensa's question:

"I'm sorry, your answer is not up to standard this time, top student."

"Hey?"

Valensa was quite surprised.

Many students stared wide-eyed in confusion... Valencia's words made perfect sense.

What you said makes a lot of sense, and the suggestion to drink more hot water is also a good one.

Hugh clearly sensed what everyone was thinking and smiled slightly:

"But...shouldn't these be the doctors' responsibility? My question is, what should you, as a frontline soldier, do in this kind of disaster?"

Oh, the answer was off-topic!

Valensa suddenly realized, and her competitive spirit prevented her from accepting defeat. Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with another answer:

"When fighting against plague-like disasters, those excellent doctors are the main force. What we, the vanguard, need to do is to assist them, protect them, collect samples, and investigate clues."

Therefore, we still need to acquire some medical knowledge, not necessarily as specialized as doctors... but we still need to know some basic knowledge such as human anatomy.

By the way, necromancy! We should all take some time to attend a few basic necromancy classes; it should be very helpful in acquiring some basic medical knowledge!

"Surely I got it right this time, right, Mr. Hugh?"

"..."

Hugh looked speechlessly at Valensa, who was standing tall and beaming with pride, and sighed:

"As expected of you, top student... you've revealed my lesson plan ahead of time again."

Chapter 162: Almost Social Death

After the initial reflection, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

This time, Hugh didn't directly play the second-place magic crystal. Instead, he explained to everyone what the vanguard should do in a plague-like disaster, based on his own lesson plan.

In addition to what Valensa mentioned earlier, Hugh also mentioned that not only necromancy, but also alchemy, gatherer's insights, adventurer's experience, and even a chef's understanding of ingredients could potentially play a role.

Simply put, it encourages everyone to take more elective courses and read more books, instead of spending all their time in the training ground studying fighting techniques. Knowledge is often more important than martial arts.

As a top soldier, you don't need to be too specialized in your knowledge, but you must be broad-minded. Ideally, you should know a little about everything; that's what makes a truly outstanding top soldier.

After explaining the general principles, Hugh also shared several of his personal experiences.

Perhaps because he had participated in the investigation of the plague that wiped out a village shortly after joining the company, for more than ten years afterward, Hugh would be sent to provide support wherever a similar disaster occurred in the kingdom.

He is undoubtedly an expert in combating plague-like disasters, and has a wealth of valuable experience that he is now selflessly sharing with his students.

The students listened very attentively. Those who had money took out their recorders to record Xiu's valuable experiences, while those who were less well-off took out paper and pen to jot down the key points using shorthand.

Valensa also spared no effort in using her mental power; she enhanced her intelligence and memory, memorizing all of Hugh's valuable experiences.

After discussing the horrors of plague-like disasters and coping strategies, more than half of the morning's tactical theory class had already passed.

Next up are the projection records of the top two teams in the virtual city.

Hugh picked up a magic crystal, activated it, and smiled at Valensa:

"You are excellent, top student, but unfortunately you only got second place this time."

"As expected."

Valensa was not surprised at all and accepted the defeat calmly.

"I know in my heart how much damage I caused to that city. In fact, I'm about the same as Cao Cao. The main reason I'm ranked higher than her is that the chaos I created continued even after the illusion ended, while the chaos Cao Cao created had already been quelled."

Three days is far too short for the method I chose. If I could extend this test to ten days… I might be able to completely destroy that city.

"Hmm, you have a very clear understanding of yourself, no wonder you're the top student."

Hugh praised Valencia again, then looked at everyone in the classroom:

"Then, let's take a look at what the top student has done."

The 3D movie, which everyone has already seen three times, is being shown again, and it starts with some really exciting scenes.

The seemingly virtuous and proper female knight, after observing the surroundings on the street, actually walked straight towards an innocent couple on the side of the street and attacked them by groping their breasts and lifting their skirts.

As the young woman screamed on the projection screen, the students' gazes towards Valensa suddenly became strange.

"Sister... how could you do this, dear sister?"

Thousand-Leaf Grass wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by; she quickly put on a pained expression, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude.

"I understand that you usually endure a lot and want to let loose in the virtual world, but bullying men and women in the street is a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Cao Cao, don't talk nonsense! I don't usually hold back that much, and I've never thought about indulging myself in the illusion, okay?"

In the face of this crisis, Valensa also stood up hastily, wanting to explain:

"What I did wasn't bullying men or women, it was something else entirely..."

"Quiet!"

Finally seeing Valensa get her comeuppance, Hugh seemed quite pleased. He used his authority as a teacher, simultaneously gesturing for Valensa and Thousand Leaf to sit down.

"Please read patiently first. If you have anything to discuss, we can talk about it after you've finished reading!"

I was so shocked after watching it!

Valensa was in a hurry, but she couldn't be in a hurry.

War academies are essentially military organizations, and teachers are equivalent to superiors.

It's fine when you're joking around, but once the teachers get serious, it's very irrational to directly resist... especially since Hugh's current request is reasonable.

"Goo~~"

Valensa could only utter the classic sound of a defeated female knight, slumping limply onto the table, silently protesting with a huffy look in her eyes.

You're definitely getting revenge for me stealing your thunder just now, aren't you, Mr. Hugh?

Hugh looked away, avoiding eye contact with Valensa.

The projection continued.

Almost in stark contrast to the situation in the projection of Thousand Leaf Grass, nothing much happened in the virtual city where Valensa was causing trouble on the first day, except for one unlucky guy who was harassed in the street and then beaten to death.

It wasn't until nightfall that Valensa began her operation, assassinating several important figures, starting with the city's highest authority.

Chaos began on the second day and erupted completely on the third day. The entire city was plunged into a state of war due to the bloodthirsty people, and people were being killed every second.

Valensa wasn't exaggerating at all; if the testing period were extended by a few more days, the city could very well be completely destroyed in the civil war.

The projection finally ended, and Valensa, who had been slumped on the table, immediately sat up, trying to explain her initial behavior and salvage the situation.

Hugh was still one step ahead. He smiled and looked at the Thousand-Leaf Grass:

"I've finished watching the projection replay... Do you still think that your older sister did those things in the first place simply because she was insatiable and desperate?"

"emmmm..."

Of course, Chiba had known all along that Valensa had ulterior motives. She was just very unwilling to accept that she had lost to Valensa so many times, and she wanted to see Valensa make a fool of herself whenever she had the chance.

Now that Hugh has brought this issue back to her, Thousand Leaf Grass can no longer condemn Valensa with words like "insatiable greed" or "shameless," as that would make her seem foolish.

So, after biting her lip a few times in reluctance, Chiba could only obediently apologize to Valensa:

"I'm sorry, my dear sister. You're not that kind of insatiable bad woman. I misunderstood you just now... You did that for a good reason."

"So, have you figured out what the top student's purpose is?"

Hugh continued to ask questions of the thousand-leaf grass.

"Of course I understand."

Since the plan to attack Valensa has failed, Chiba Grass must protect her image and not let her teachers and classmates think she is stupid.

She proudly puffed out her small, flat chest:

"My elder sister is a very cautious person. No matter what kind of opponent she faces, she likes to observe carefully or even test the waters before making a move."

Considering her subsequent actions... it's quite clear that her initial behavior was a test of the mannequins, testing whether they possessed emotions and reactions like real people.

Chapter 163 The Most Terrifying Woman

"correct answer."

Hugh confirmed Thousand Leaf Grass's answer, then glanced around the classroom and explained:

"The chief student's approach is clearly to exploit human weaknesses, deliberately create conflicts, and make people kill each other."

This is actually the most common tactic used by revelers... Many of those lunatics deliberately create this kind of commotion out of boredom, and then hide away to watch the excitement.

Once you become official elite soldiers, besides infiltrating behind enemy lines in the desolate battlefields of the North, your main tasks will be dealing with all sorts of these pleasure-seeking criminals.

"So how do we deal with these pleasure-seeking criminals, Mr. Hugh?"

The Thousand-Leaf Grass, who had just been praised, raised her hand and asked.

There are no shortcuts; it's all about a competition of overall abilities.

Hugh said seriously:

“In the past, when we encountered cases like this, we would split into groups and rely on numbers to win… One group would protect the important figures to prevent further deaths and the spread of chaos. The other group would follow the clues to try to find, catch, or kill the hidden criminals.”

Now... well, there are just more search and prevention methods. We can do what the chief student does: imagine what we would do if we were the criminals, and thus make predictions about the behavior of real criminals.

In short, this will be a long-term training exercise... When we enter the illusionary city again, I will connect your dreams together and have you conduct combat training... The top student will play the reveler, and you will try to stop her or even capture her.

"Huh? Can we go and catch our naughty older sister? Yay! Yay!"

Thousand-leaf clover excitedly waved its little fist:

"Please, Teacher Xiu, you must consider giving me priority. I, Cao Cao, can definitely stop my sister's conspiracy!"

"So my main task from now on will be to be a sparring partner?"

Valensa was speechless and protested to Hugh in dissatisfaction:

"Then what about my cultivation, Master Hugh? And if you always make me play the role of a bad woman, aren't you worried that I'll really become a bad woman?"

"You're the top student, aren't you?"

Hugh shrugs:

"You are exceptionally talented and adept at adjusting your mindset... I believe that if it were you, you would be able to grow even more in this kind of competitive training. Don't miss the opportunity!"

I think you just want to exploit the laborers!

Valensa rolled her eyes dramatically.

However, pretending to be a vicious criminal and doing sparring with classmates... is quite interesting, and it can indeed hone your skills.

Once Valensa understood this, she stopped resisting and tacitly accepted Hugh's arrangement.

Next, it's finally time for the first place.

Hugh picked up the last magic crystal and activated it.

Valensa and Thousand Leaf Grass exchanged a quick glance, then looked together at Melody, who had a confident smile on her face. They already knew who would win first place.

Even Hugh couldn't help but exclaim after activating the magic crystal:
