——There is no number 0?
There is no number 0!
How is it possible!?
——Did I guess wrong?
No!
Impossible!
Roel is ranked second in aptitude but ranked first.
There must be someone ahead of him!
Is he hiding?
Now there is only one explanation.
The freshman holding the No. 0 card was not tricked out by the red-haired boy.
He has been hiding somewhere in this building…
But Kasa himself doesn’t believe in this possibility, because it’s too low.
Why does he choose to hide when there is such an easy way to pass the level?
The greater possibility, and what Kasha least wants to see, is…that No. 0 has already left!
In other words, the No. 0 was actually directly passed from the beginning!
Kasha has long known that this world is unfair, or rather, there is no such thing as true fairness in any world.
If No. 0 is a freshman with extraordinary talent, would the academy be willing to see him being eliminated so easily?
Impossible.
For a college to develop, it certainly cannot rely on a group of ordinary students with average qualifications.
What it needs most is a small number of excellent students and true geniuses who are at the top in some aspects!
The missing No. 0 is undoubtedly the existence that the college urgently needs.
So, No. 999, who has the lowest qualifications, is actually the one who doesn’t care even if he is abandoned.
——I won’t accept it!
Just as Kasha was staring at the iron gate in a daze with a gloomy face, a slightly frivolous voice came from behind him.
“What an interesting expression.”
Kasha was startled by the sudden voice, because he recognized the voice, it was the masked man!
He still spoke in that slightly exaggerated tone: “What a clever little guy.”
“What’s the meaning……”
The masked man came over, bent down and picked up the number plate “999” from the basket: “Number 0 is a genius, and even I can’t eliminate such a genius by relying on my status, so…”
Seeing Kasha’s frown, the masked man bent down slightly and patted the thin boy on the shoulder: “No. 0 is a recommended student.”
“Is that really the case?”
Kasha exhaled, “How enviable, a genius or something.”
“No, you are the one that people should envy.”
“What should I be envious of?”
Kasha laughed at himself: “In the end, I was the one who was eliminated.”
Envy?
What is there to envy about him?
Envy his average talent?
Or envy that he can do anything to survive?
Are you sure you are not mocking him?
However, the masked man did not explain anything.
The eyes behind the mask curved up with a smile: “You are so young, but why do you look so sad like an old man? You don’t seem to be energetic at all.”
As he spoke, the masked man pinched Kasha’s cheek and lifted it up.
“Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
“So I say, being too clever may backfire.”
The masked man loosened his hand and looked at Kasha, who was staring at him while covering his swollen cheek, and laughed, “You are No. 999. As No. 999, what you need is No. 0, so, in fact, the preferential conditions are only for you.”
Kasha was not a fool like Roel.
The masked man enlightened him with one sentence: “You mean…”
“That’s right, you’re just like No. 0. You can actually go out empty-handed at the beginning. Do you think this is a discount?”
Seeing the darkness in Kasha’s eyes disappear instantly and his dark pupils glow with bright light, the masked man smiled and rubbed the head of this boy who was obviously different from the other freshmen.
“I’ll remind you again, if you don’t hurry over there it will be too late. I gave you three days, but the feeling of time passing in this place is very special. Three days actually pass in the time it takes for the sun to rise and set.”
“Fuck!”
So this is the biggest trap!
You are such a dark-hearted guy!
If the freshmen had not listened to Kasha and waited until three sunrises and sunsets before opening the door, it would have been useless even if there were no traps set up in the previous conditions and they all got the correct number plates, because, according to what the masked man said just now, three sunrises and sunsets…are already nine days!
Without staying any longer, Kasha ran towards the iron gate, and the iron gate opened directly after Kasha approached.
Outside, there was a bright starry sky.
From a distance, one could see a huge building similar to an ancient arena, with searchlight beams projected into the sky, crisscrossing and rotating.
At the same time, a loud broadcast was coming from the huge building.
“The freshman opening ceremony will officially begin in 3 minutes. Students who are late, if you don’t hurry up, you will be expelled from school right after the start of the semester!”
3 minutes?
Kasha was shocked.
The distance between the building and him was such that even if he started running for his life, it would take at least 5 minutes! Kasha smiled bitterly: “Are you sure you are not kidding me?”
Having said this, Kasha still ran forward with a glimmer of hope.
After all, he had to struggle, right?
After running for two minutes, Kasha was already out of breath and almost fell down, but he had not run half the distance when the 60-second countdown sounded on the radio.
“60…59…58…”
Just when Kasha wanted to stop and give up struggling, a sharp roar came from behind him.
A sports car rushed past Kasha, then suddenly backed up, kicking up a cloud of dust in front of Kasha’s strange gaze.
Then the window opened, and a slender arm stretched out and grabbed Kasha by the collar.
Then, Kasha heard a slightly familiar female voice.
“Liuli, step on the accelerator to the bottom.”
“OK.”
“Hey? Mi…wait…”
“Boom!”
“Uwaa … ”
“10…9…8…7…6…”
“5…4…3…2…1…”
“Bang!”
The sports car directly knocked over the road bollards blocking the road and rushed into the building.
“0! Freshman opening ceremony begins now!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Magnificent fireworks bloomed in the sky, like ink spreading in water, one by one, and interweaving with the beams of searchlights to form a dazzling glass painting.
Kasha, with Mia grabbing his collar, looked up at the beauty of the moment and was a little dazed for a moment.
“Crunch!”
The wheels of the sports car left a clear brake mark on the ground, and then stopped aside.
“Idiot, what are you looking at? Run away.”
Mia pulled Kasha’s collar by the back like an unladylike person and ran away, leaving Liuli surrounded by a group of security guards who had rushed over.
“Hey? That driver…”
“It’s okay. Liuli is much smarter than you.”
“Oh.”
Kasa looked from afar at the silver-haired girl in maid outfit who was waving in his direction with a gentle smile on her face even though she was surrounded by a group of men in suits.
——It’s called Liuli, right?
Kasha looked at Mia who was dragging him away with some regret.
——Compared with the violent Mia, this maid girl’s temperament is more like that of a young lady.
