The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Heartless Principal, Scheming Online

The spaceship is about to take off, Ji You hurries to run frantically, uncertain if General Shen would catch her in his Mecha and beat her up, but she knows if she doesn’t run faster, Principal Hong will certainly hoist her up and give her a beating.

Ji You runs at lightning speed, suddenly leaping over, and boards the spaceship in the last second.

In the short three days of military exercises, the freshmen have transformed from tender little cabbages into frostbitten eggplants, listless and worn out.

Ji You is no better, the moment she sits in the airship, she enters a rest capsule and immediately falls into a deep sleep.

Waking up, she finds the sky has darkened. Ji You quickly unbuckles the seat belt and steps out of the rest capsule.

”Awake?” someone says.

Ji You is startled, and looking up, she replies: ”H-hello... teacher...”

This is a female teacher, with long black hair, and a very gentle and beautiful appearance.

At this moment, Principal Hong walks over, and with an open mouth says: ”Yo, the troublemaker has woken up? Slept pretty soundly...” Then, turning to the gentle female teacher, he asks: ”Has her slicing research results come out yet?”

What?

Slicing?

Ji You’s heart trembles slightly, and she steps back in fear.

The female teacher sternly says: ”Principal Hong, mind your manners, please don’t scare the child.” After saying this, she turns to Ji You, smiles, and says: ”Ji You, student number 4444, I am the chief doctor of the school’s medical office, you can call me Dr. Luo, or Teacher Luo is also fine. Because I also teach first-year courses in health care and nursing, emergency first aid.”

Ji You, looking bewildered but still very politely says to Teacher Luo: ”Teacher Luo, hello... That... What about...?”

The slicing?

What exactly is going on?

If it’s not clear, it’s seriously going to scare someone to death.

Family secrets know best; Ji You is an ancient relic transmigrate, with an Iron Plate residing in her head, along with the original Xiao You.

This—

If the slicing reveals it...

Ji You shudders all over.

Seeing Ji You’s reaction, Teacher Luo clearly perceives the fright and can’t help but glance again at the Heartless Principal, explaining: ”Student Ji You, please don’t be scared, Principal Hong thinks your spiritual power is anomalous, and to prevent future health issues, I’ll give you a thorough examination.”

Ji You’s eyes widen: ”Spiritual power is... anomalous?”

Impossible, right?

She had secretly checked her spiritual power, the threshold was only 121, just barely over the threshold for E rank, how could it be anomalous?

Principal Hong says: ”Why all this fuss? She’s disobedient! Just tie her up and do the slicing research!”

Ji You: ”...”

Teacher Luo sighs and says: ”Principal Hong, stop joking around. Look how you’ve scared the child.” Continuing with a faint smile, she adds: ”It’s not that serious, we’ll just take a few small cells to examine, that’s all.”

”That’s still scary.” Ji You: ”Can... can we not do the exam?”

Principal Hong glances sideways at Ji You, leg shaking, and says: ”Ignore her! Do the slicing! When she was roasting rabbits, she wasn’t that timid.”

Ji You: ”...”

This is Principal Hong striking back!

This is blatant personal vengeance!

But—does Ji You regret eating the roasted rabbit?

Impossible!

She’ll never regret it in this lifetime.

Ji You grits her teeth and decides to face the consequences: ”Principal Hong, I—Ji You, student number 4444 from the 131st freshman self-funded class, am officially filing a lawsuit against you now for abuse of power and suspicion of using public office for private revenge against me. I protest the 150 points you deducted from me, and I believe everything I did on the exercise field was completely legal, reasonable, and within regulations...”

”””

Regarding the damage to the training equipment, I don’t acknowledge it! This is a rule you changed on the fly, not applicable to the situation at the time of the exercise! Moreover—if I really did break the rules at the time, publicly and personally, you should have stopped me immediately, but you didn’t. So—”

”You’re also suspected of entrapment! You intentionally led me to break the rules so you could punish me!”

”...”

Ji You went on and on, with reasons and evidence...

Principal Hong’s face turned pitch black.

Teacher Luo was somewhat speechless too.

Ji You said, ”Principal Hong, Teacher Luo, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.”

She turned her head, planning to bolt!

”Damned brat! Get back here!” Principal Hong shouted with a dark face.

Ji You turned around and said with a pained expression, ”Principal, can we not cut slices? I’m scared...”

Principal Hong raised his hand and flicked Ji You’s forehead hard, handed her a piece of paper, and said, ”Open your dog eyes and read the lines below carefully.”

Ji You, puzzled, leaned over to look and saw several lines noted below:

[The exercise field’s regulations and final interpretation rights belong to this school. In special circumstances, the school reserves the right to change, modify, or suspend exercises, etc.]

Ji You’s face darkened.

Principal Hong shook his leg triumphantly: ”Did you read that clearly? Anything else you want to say?”

Ji You: ”...”

Principal Hong looked at her slantingly, raising his eyebrows: ”You little one, tiny in stature, but with quite the nerve! You are the first student who dares to accuse me to my face since I, Hong Jiang, have been teaching.” He paused on purpose, slightly smug, ”Too bad it was unsuccessful—hahaha... idiot!”

Ji You: ”...”

Hong Jiang raised his hand and ordered, ”Check her spiritual power. With the ruckus she’s causing, such a dog’s gall! And she’s scared of a little slicing?”

Ji You: ”...”

She really was afraid.

Teacher Luo rubbed his temples, sighed helplessly, and said, ”Miss Ji You, please come with me. It’s just a comprehensive spiritual power inspection, no slicing, no cell extraction... and please don’t take Principal Hong’s words to heart. If it troubles you, from a mental health standpoint, you could consider his words as air—your mind and body will feel much better.”

Ji You: ”... So you mean I should treat Principal Hong’s words as a fart?”

Teacher Luo did not answer but simply showed a gentle smile.

Principal Hong burst out immediately: ”Damned! What did I call you here for? To shoot the breeze? Go and run the check.”

Seeing the situation, Ji You felt reassured.

Teacher Luo gently ushered Ji You into a testing pod and said softly, ”Don’t be nervous, relax your mind first, then slowly release your spiritual power threads.”

Ji You followed the instructions.

After lying down, she found her body seemed to be immersed in an endless black space, where there seemed to be nothing. She couldn’t even feel her hands and feet; her whole being turned into a clump of dark fluff...

Huh?

Why is this spiritual power check different from the one built into the training equipment she bought?

While Ji You was pondering, she suddenly heard Teacher Luo’s voice: ”Miss Ji You, can you hear my voice?”

Ji You focused her mind, looked up, and saw nothing.

No sign of Teacher Luo.

”Can you hear me?” Teacher Luo asked again.

Ji You hurriedly responded, ”I can hear you.”

Suddenly, she found herself at a loss for words because she realized the voice she emitted was not coming from her mouth.

But instead—

”””
