A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 68: Starting Nightmare-Level Mission

After the exchange class officially ended on Saturday, most students were on vacation. Only those who weren’t eliminated from the exchange class were required to come to school today to check their scores and class placement.

About a hundred people.

These are the elites from more than ten schools.

When Baiyu arrived at the school, there were already crowds surrounding the two lists outside the hall.

The second model list and the exchange class list.

Both lists were surprisingly consistent; Baiyu was first place, followed by Lan Ziyue... counting down the list until the tenth person, there was finally a change.

"Everyone, please wait, don’t push, follow the order."

"Those who want to join the fan club, line up."

Oda Qianren moved a desk beside him, registering the names with a glossy face.

Seeing this scene, Baiyu completely abandoned his previous thoughts.

"Brother Bai."

Ning Qian appeared beside him like a ghost: "You got first place in the exchange class assessment. I heard from the teachers that your scores are so good that Kyoto Magic University would be easy to get into!"

"Ah, I haven’t decided whether I’m going or not yet."

Baiyu hadn’t made up his mind.

Kyoto Magic University is the highest institution in the East Prosperity Imperial, located in the capital Shengjing,

its faculty, teaching resources, and everything else are the best. Of course, the students there are also the scariest nationwide; they’re basically local geniuses.

Lijiang Martial Arts University is also good.

Moreover, if Baiyu stays at Lijiang Martial Arts University, it would be more convenient for whatever he decides to do.

Baiyu still hasn’t made up his mind.

"It definitely has to be Kyoto Magic University. I will definitely follow in your footsteps and get into the same martial arts university as you!" Ning Qian clenched her small fists, cheering herself on.

Baiyu thought of the thirty-plus people in the assessment hall, and it seemed Ning Qian was the last to come out, which prompted him to ask: "How did your exchange class assessment go?"

"I barely passed and was placed in the B-level training class. The first thirty are all in the A-level training class, and there are seventy more in the C level, but those people weren’t called into the hall."

Ning Qian explained.

"I see..."

Baiyu nodded.

With Ning Qian’s grades, it would be hard to get into Kyoto Magic University.

It just depends on her progress in the next two months.

And it seems that Ning Qian’s family is quite wealthy.

If she truly wants to apply to Kyoto Magic University, her parents might find a way, but the help Baiyu can provide is limited.

"Oh right, the class is having a gathering this afternoon. It’s the last dinner together since we’ll all be entering different training classes. The classmates asked me to invite you."

Ning Qian pointed to the side of the school gate, where most of the students from Class 5 Senior Year were already gathered.

Baiyu didn’t refuse.

As the class president of Class 5 Senior Year, he ought to go under these circumstances.

Of course.

He came to school today for official business.

"You all go ahead and have fun. Relaxing a bit is fine; it’s not good to keep your nerves too tight. I’ll join you as soon as I finish my business."

"Alright then."

Ning Qian fixed her gaze on Baiyu, reluctantly bidding farewell, and then walked towards the classmates waiting by the school gate.

Baiyu found a small path leading to the outside of the school library.

Looking at the towering building resembling an open book, he stepped inside.

Jiang Gan was already waiting for him.

"Baiyu, be extra careful when you enter the fourth floor. If you encounter knowledge that’s beyond your current comprehension, absolutely do not be reckless."

Jiang Gan sincerely warned him.

He had seen too many tragic cases of people becoming aberrations because they couldn’t handle the mysterious side’s knowledge.

Though the books on the library’s fourth floor have been carefully screened and lack uncanny texts, he still had to remind Baiyu.

"Okay, Principal Jiang, rest assured, I’m mindful. I’m just familiarizing myself with the courses at the Martial Arts School. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll back off immediately."

Soon enough.

Jiang Gan granted Baiyu permission to access the fourth floor.

He stayed below the library, ready to intervene immediately should Baiyu encounter any trouble.

Even on Sundays, the first, second, and third floors of the library were filled with students diligently studying, and even martial artists from outside borrowed books.

Anyone who passed the assessment could enter the library.

However, once you reached the fourth floor, the number of people visibly dwindled.

The vast space had only a dozen or more individuals quietly reading, utterly absorbed.

"First find ’Spiritual Technique: Forbidden Scroll’ and complete the task!"

Baiyu didn’t waste any time.

Following the categories, he went to the spirit technique section and carefully searched, but he couldn’t find the book.

This...

He searched carefully again, but still couldn’t find it.

Could it be that the fourth floor doesn’t have this book at all?

Baiyu was not convinced and looked through the mysticism and magic elixir sections as well, but ended up empty-handed.

The book was nowhere to be found!

Baiyu spent half an hour just looking for the book.

"Principal Jiang won’t let me stay too long. If I can’t find this book, I’ll have to change strategies."

Baiyu didn’t expect that after preparing for so long, he couldn’t find his target book once on the fourth floor.

"Hey, that..."

Just as Baiyu was contemplating his next move, he suddenly saw a girl at a table by the window intently reading a book.

Though her hands blocked part of the title, Baiyu recognized it as "Spiritual Technique: Forbidden Scroll."

"Someone else took it."

Baiyu hadn’t expected this coincidence. He could only walk to the seat opposite the girl, watching her intently across the table.

After a few minutes.

The girl sensed something was off.

She lifted her head.

Meeting Baiyu’s gaze.

Their eyes locked, and the girl’s cheeks turned slightly red, "Student, is there something you need?"

Baiyu hesitated for a moment, "Uh, there is something, but I’m having trouble finding the words. A girl as pretty as you must encounter this kind of situation often..."

Is this a pick-up line?

She does encounter them often, but never from someone this handsome!

His approach was poor, though.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled, her brows arched. Her face was delicately tinged with peach pink, capturing Baiyu’s gaze.

Though she often got hit on at the library, this was the first time by someone so handsome!

"There’s something I want to say, but I don’t know if I should." Baiyu spoke up again.

Hearing the somewhat stiff tone, Tang Xiaoyu’s vanity shot through the roof.

Wow, I still got it!

A guy this handsome and charismatic is captivated by me, taking the initiative to approach nervously and is tongue-tied!

The church people who mocked me for being single forever!

I just have high standards.

I’ll snatch a boyfriend back to show you!

Tang Xiaoyu decided to seize the opportunity, softly pushing back a lock of hair from her forehead, striking a pure and lovely pose: "Since we met, it’s destiny. I was just thinking about finding someone to talk to. How about we chat outside at a bubble tea shop? This is a library after all..."

Baiyu ignored the suddenly soft voice from across, his face lighting up with joy, "Great, you’re going to the bubble tea shop, can I have that book?"

Tang Xiaoyu didn’t catch on immediately and instinctively asked, "You’re... not coming?"
