Chapter 1 Making Trouble Like a Man

It is said that only by infinitely approaching death can one comprehend the true meaning of survival.

So... Jiang Xiao not only opened his mouth and caught the falling hazelnut, but also ate it with relish.

So delicious!

Early September in the Imperial Capital was extremely hot, but on the balcony of apartment 1107, a bone-chilling coldness faintly emanated.

Jiang Xiao stood up tremblingly, his face a little stiff, and said, "That... the mock military training is tomorrow, I'm going back to study... the creatures of Black Rock Mountain, see... see you."

Saying that, Jiang Xiao carefully walked past Han Jiangxue, crossed the living room, but stopped at the door of her bedroom. After 2 seconds, he turned his head to look at the 《Encyclopedia of Alternate Dimensions of the Imperial Capital》 on the bedside table.

Yes,

A real man is to probe wildly at the edge of death.

Jiang Xiao walked in, picked up the book, and then turned to walk out of the room, heading towards the dormitory door, shouting, "I'm taking the book back to study!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiao darted out of the 1107 dormitory...

Yes,

The way I run away may be embarrassing, but the way I court death must be manly!

Jiang Xiao ran with the book in his arms, muttering to himself: Really, the young lady fed me so gently, wouldn't it be impolite not to accept it?

Jiang Xiao shook his head vigorously, walked out of the girls' dormitory building, and flipped open the not-so-thick book, looking for the table of contents.

"Little Pi." A clear, cold voice suddenly came from above and behind.

Jiang Xiao's footsteps froze, and he slowly turned around, looking up at the second floor.

He saw Han Jiangxue holding two hangers in her hands, with the Viking Dog short sleeves and loose capri pants that he had changed out of earlier and washed during his shower, still dripping wetly.

He only heard Han Jiangxue's cold voice: "Clothes, take them back."

Jiang Xiao waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, just leave this set here to dry, so I'll have clothes to change when I come over to take a shower."

*Pa-cha!*

Behind Jiang Xiao, a girl carrying a stack of books towards the dormitory building heard this and loosened her grip, the books falling heavily to the ground.

Han Jiangxue's face flushed, she glared fiercely at Jiang Xiao, and turned to disappear from the window sill.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head awkwardly and turned to look at the girl who was squatting on the ground picking up books.

Why are you reacting so strongly?

It's not like I meant anything else, but you made it seem like everyone's thinking dirty!

Jiang Xiao looked at the girl helplessly, and then turned his head to look at the balcony, but saw Song Chunxi's barely suppressed smile, waving goodbye to Jiang Xiao: "Come visit often."

The girl had just picked up the books, and when she looked up, she found another beautiful girl standing on the balcony, with a gentle smile on her face, waving to the boy in front.

*Pa!*

The books the girl had just picked up fell to the ground again...

Jiang Xiao really couldn't help it this time, he turned his head to look at the girl and asked, "Are these books hot potatoes?"

The girl's face flushed and she squatted down again, picking up the books in a fluster.

Sigh...

Jiang Xiao sighed,

Girls are indeed like salted duck eggs,

So pure white on the outside, but when you cut them open, their hearts are full of greasy yellow...

Jiang Xiao flipped through the books and walked past the girl.

The girl paused slightly, and after Jiang Xiao walked away, she secretly looked up at Jiang Xiao's back.

The more she looked, the more shocked she became. This figure... isn't this my classmate, the famous Poisonous Milk Jiang Xiaopi?

So he's that kind of person?

Oh no, I have to see him tomorrow? And be his classmate for four years?

Thinking of this, the girl's originally flushed face slowly turned pale.

...

Black Rock Mountain, Black Rock Mountain...

Ha! Found it.

Jiang Xiao walked back to his apartment building as he read. Well, it's not much different from the knowledge points I studied for the college entrance examination.

Just as he arrived at the foot of the apartment building, he saw a group of strong men walking out of the building.

Jiang Xiao was startled, this was too imposing...

"Yo! Little Pi!"

"Good afternoon, Jiang Xiaopi!"

One shield warrior after another was very friendly to Jiang Xiao, and several of them came up to curry favor.

Jiang Xiao was a little puzzled and asked, "Where are you guys going? A group outing?"

"The class is gathering, probably to announce the task and explain about the military training on Black Rock Mountain tomorrow. Didn't you get the message?"

"He just got out of the confinement room, where would he get the message?"

"Hurry, hurry, it's the first gathering, don't be late."

Jiang Xiao waved goodbye to the group of shield warriors. What should he do? Where should he gather?

Damn it, there isn't even one support in the entire dormitory...

Right, there's also Miss Cai Yao.

Jiang Xiao ran upstairs in a few steps, his flip-flops slapping loudly. He found his phone, quickly charged it, and turned it on.

He didn't even need to ask Cai Yao, a series of messages had already arrived.

Eh? Why are so many strangers adding me? When was I pulled into a group chat?

Cai Yao really sent me WeChat messages?

From two days ago:

"Let's team up for the Black Rock Mountain military training."

"Reply when you see this."

"Answer. Don't feel embarrassed, just give me a reply if you've already formed a team, and I'll go form another one."

"Jiang Xiaopi?"

"I heard you were put in confinement? Reply as soon as you get out."

"Stinky Little Pi!!!"

Jiang Xiao closed his chat with Cai Yao and opened the strange group chat.

He saw a strange profile picture, and a message that was probably sent this morning: "2:00 PM, Building B, first floor of the teaching building, 101 lecture hall for gathering."

Jiang Xiao looked at the time, 1:45 PM, he could still make it, he hurried out.

The Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy was huge, and the flip-flops were not very helpful.

When Jiang Xiao ran to the lecture hall, the time was just right, thankfully, the teacher hadn't arrived yet.

However, there were too few students in this class. When Jiang Xiao looked at the WeChat group just now, he thought the number of people in the group chat was small, and thought that some people hadn't joined the group, but now it seemed that everyone was here.

Jiang Xiao did see Cai Yao's figure, but she was sitting with a girl, so Jiang Xiao didn't go over. He walked to the back row and sat in the back.

This position was excellent, all it was missing was an AWM, one shot one kid.

1...2...3...36?

The Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy, the dignified Support Academy, only had 36 people?

Support really is a scarce species, even the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy only recruits so many each year.

Jiang Xiao's thinking was a bit biased. In fact, there was another batch of support students who went to the Political Academy, they were aiming for the political and business circles and other social industries, and didn't plan to go the combat route.

Jiang Xiao's appearance obviously attracted the attention of many students, but the students were all very well-mannered, most of them whispered to each other, and didn't make too much noise in the classroom.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man walked in, looking serious, behind him, followed by 9 men and women, mostly around 40 years old, who looked like teachers.

These teachers walked straight to the front row, and since there weren't any students sitting in the front row, they also sat down.

"Zhou Xinghe." The middle-aged man stood on the podium, and the first sentence was a self-introduction, "I am your counselor, responsible for managing the lives and studies of your class of Support Academy students."

Zhou Xinghe's eyes swept over the students. Those who had shown their faces in the National Competition, such as Cai Yao from Jinmen, Li Yuan from the Imperial Capital, and Jiang Xiao from Beijiang, his gaze paused especially on them, and said, "Being able to enter the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy represents that you are above a certain standard, but no matter how glorious you were in the past, or what kind of achievements you have achieved, here, you are just ordinary students."

Saying that, Zhou Xinghe looked directly at Jiang Xiao and said, "Humility and low-key are your best companions for growth."

Jiang Xiao quietly lowered his head, guessing that the counselor knew about him being put in confinement...

Zhou Xinghe continued, "You can find my WeChat in the group, and my phone number is also on it. If you have any difficulties in your studies or life, you can come to me, and I will help you as much as possible. I only have one request for you."

The students all pricked up their ears to listen.

Counselor Zhou Xinghe held the podium with both hands and said word by word, "No one is allowed to skip cultural classes!"

He only heard Counselor Zhou Xinghe continue to say, "I will tell the cultural class teachers of each subject to take attendance once before class. One absence will deduct 41 points from the final exam score for that subject. If you fail two or more subjects, you will repeat a grade. I can't tutor you, let the other counselors of the next class tutor you."

"Damn..."

"Ruthless! Really ruthless! He's a ruthless person!"

"Skipping once is equivalent to failing directly, deducting 41 points? Even if you get full marks on the test, the final score is still 59..."

The classroom was in an uproar. The students weren't stupid, repeating a grade must have corresponding conditions and measures, and they might really be expelled.

They worked so hard, risking their lives to get into the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy, and then get expelled for skipping class?

Counselor Zhou Xinghe: "I'm only in charge of your cultural studies and daily life, as for the practical classes, that's their business."

Saying that, Counselor Zhou Xinghe gestured to the teachers in the first row and said, "The teaching staff of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy is beyond your imagination, you should enjoy such treatment after being admitted here.

Now, go find your team teachers for tomorrow. Each teacher can have four students standing in front of them. If there are more than four people, those who come later can challenge any one of the first four. Which student is ultimately selected for the team will be determined based on the practical class teacher's preferences."

What does that mean?

One teacher takes four people?

If there are too many people, you can challenge other members in the team? But it's not based on victory or defeat, but based on the teacher's preferences?

Counselor Zhou Xinghe continued, "As for the relevant matters of the Black Rock Mountain military training tomorrow, after the team is determined, your respective practical class teachers will explain it to you."

Then, Counselor Zhou Xinghe waved his hand: "In 7 days, I hope you come back alive. Now, start choosing."

Start choosing now?

What the hell am I supposed to choose? I went to the Daxue Mountain region of Dajiang and the snowy plains of Beijiang during the holidays. After returning home, I only had a few days off. To adjust my psychological state, I even went to Los Santos to wreak havoc. I don't know any of these teachers...

In previous years, the Imperial Capital Star Warrior Academy was always where the teachers chose the students, right?

Why is it reversed this year?

Counselor Zhou Xinghe's voice fell, but no one in the classroom acted rashly!

Jiang Xiao was first considering choosing a good teacher, while some students were considering choosing a good teammate.

They are different from those in the Battle Academy and the Law Academy, they are all supports!

A group of 4 supports is going to Black Rock Mountain for training, what are they lacking, milk? Are they lacking various buff states?

The whole world lacks milk, but only their Support Academy doesn't!

What they lack is output! And powerful output!

Choosing a team at the beginning of the semester is really too exciting.

The Law Academy was completely reversed, after the same rules were announced, one after another violent output mages began to look for who had support skills, control skills, and defensive skills...

The situation in the Battle Academy - Agility Warrior Department was no better.

Only the Battle Academy - Shield Warrior Department was harmonious, various students who were going to follow the Defense Warrior and Strength Warrior paths formed teams, looking like good brothers...

Jiang Xiao, who was sitting in the back of the classroom, imagining taking out an AWM to snipe people, suddenly realized that he was being focused on!

Many students turned their heads to look at this "compassionate" MVP in the finals...
