Luo Nan's mind wasn't too good the next day. He sat in the classroom, his mind dispirited most of the time. His mind was blank during class. Not a single bit of what the teacher said entered his ears.
Xue Lei only met up with him before the third class. He was shocked to see Luo Nan's condition. "You broke your training?"
"I stayed up late." Luo Nan's answer was concise and clear.
He had been practicing the Dripping Sword until midnight yesterday. After the night class, he couldn't help but go into an out-of-body state. He crossed half the city and entered the Cloud World from Gear. He continued his search, constantly familiarizing himself with the environment.
His search yielded no results, but he didn't sleep the entire night. His mind was dispirited from going back and forth.
Xue Lei was a clever person. His first reaction was, "Did you miss your morning and evening classes?"
"Nope." Luo Nan rolled his eyes and yawned.
Xue Lei spoke very seriously, "It's about the same even if you didn't miss it. Blood and energy are nourished and consumed during training. It's very complicated. Your way of playing is like lighting a lamp and boiling oil. The effects are halved. "
"Then what should I do? How about I sleep for a bit during class and you help me keep an eye on things? "
"... That's fine too."
Luo Nan reached out to poke him. "Bad friend!"
Luo Nan buried his head in the crook of his arm before Xue Lei could retort. He fell asleep in the span of two or three breaths.
To be honest, although he hadn't left the house for the past two days, he had experienced too many changes, absorbed too much information, and learned too many things. His brain had reached its limit, and he really couldn't take it anymore. In any case, this was a public class. The enormous lecture hall was the best cover.
A few possibilities flashed through Luo Nan's mind before he fell asleep. For example, Xue Lei calling him, Peony calling him to begin the search mission, the Society calling him, and so on...
But things were hard to predict. What truly woke him up from his dreams wasn't any of these factors. It was a stimulation that came from the mental plane. It came from a position that seemed very close, but he couldn't grasp it.
"The Wraith Sign?" Luo Nan's thoughts captured the most crucial factor. But before he could truly sort out the clues, a scorching and explosive feeling suddenly exploded. It followed the incorporeal connection on the mental plane and came rumbling, shaking the God Wheel.
The situation was simply like a meteorite falling from the heavens. It smashed into a vast ocean of glaciers. The God Wheel shook for a moment, and the surging and abundant soul strength created waves. It instantly formed a dozen or so tides that came crashing down.
"Ow!"
Luo Nan was really caught off guard. The God Wheel frame constructed from the external neuron was stable, but the feeling of pain and danger was real. He screamed.. His body tensed up, and his entire body.
His knee hit the bottom of the table, and the tables and chairs in the lecture hall were fixed. A muffled sound rang out and Luo Nan's entire body bent like a prawn. He hugged his knees and sat down.
Xue Lei was shocked to the side. The first thing he did after coming to his senses was to throw his entire body over to protect Luo Nan … … He believed that Luo Nan had suffered an assassination attempt from Headquarters or some other power. He wanted to prevent Luo Nan from suffering a second injury.
The classroom was silent for a moment, and then the lecturer on the podium said coldly, "What are you doing?"
In the next three seconds, the classroom went from buzzing to roaring laughter, and the discipline in the classroom instantly collapsed.
As one of the best educational institutions in Xia City, Acumen College had never been a place where one could spend their days leisurely. Although they didn't go as far as to implement some sort of militarized classroom discipline, there were naturally conduct points and strict examinations to punish students who caused trouble in class.
Luo Nan had shaken the entire lecture theater to the point of buzzing. Xue Lei had directly pounced on Luo Nan with the weight of Mt. Tai... If Luo Nan didn't raise his blade and make an example out of Xue Lei, he would be letting down the class time system.
The lecturer on the lectern was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. Her facial features were quite good-natured, but her expression had turned cold and hard after receiving such a torment from Luo Nan and Xue Lei.
"Get up, I'm fine!"
Luo Nan struggled to break free from Xue Lei's oppression. He endured the pain in his knees with great difficulty, and when he straightened up, he saw this scene. He was already exhausted to begin with, and his reaction was much worse than usual. He was even more sluggish, and he could only display a stupefied expression, unable to do anything.
Xue Lei was about the same to the side. He still hadn't switched out from his bodyguard identity!
Right at this moment, the young female teaching assistant, who was a support staff member, walked over to the lecturer's side. She said something in a soft voice. The middle-aged female lecturer's anger was suppressed, and she spoke coldly:
"Students, please stand up."
Luo Nan and Xue Lei glanced at each other, and they obediently stood up.
"What are your names?"
Luo Nan and Xue Lei had already accepted their fate. They lowered their heads and said their names, but they were a bit vague.
The female lecturer didn't care. She just said: "Students, if any one of you isn't feeling well, you can go to the infirmary and get treated as soon as possible. Don't disturb the other students in class."
"Yes, yes. He's having hysteria. I'll immediately take him … …" Xue Lei reacted, and he directly made Luo Nan into a mental patient. He made a supporting gesture, and he supported Luo Nan as they walked down step by step amidst the chaotic laughter of the students.
Luo Nan's knee was injured, and he really was limping. The two were like this. They didn't dare to raise their heads, and they cut a sorry figure as they left the classroom.
Luo Nan's absent-minded mind recovered a bit just before they left the room. He noticed one thing: The young female teaching assistant who had persuaded the lecturer was actually someone he knew.
Tian Si.
They hadn't contacted each other since the incident at Ocean Sky Cloud City. Presumably, Tian Si needed quite a long period of time to sort out her emotions. But he never expected that they would meet again in such a manner … …
Luo Nan didn't feel comfortable saying hello, so he left in a hurry with Xue Lei. But the bell rang before the elevator even reached the bottom floor. Luo Nan only found out after asking Xue Lei that it was the last class of the morning.
This fact hurt Luo Nan quite a bit. Things wouldn't have escalated to this extent if he had been a few minutes late.
His wristband vibrated at this time, and the name of the contact appeared.
Luo Nan rushed to pick up the phone: "Senior Sister Tian, thanks for just now."
The caller was none other than Tian Si. Her tone was gentle and calm, just like a friend she often interacted with: "It's nothing. Teacher Wu has a very good heart. She asked for your name, and she didn't scan it through the class system. That means that she wants you to open up. Otherwise, it would be hard to avoid deducting conduct points."
"That's all thanks to Senior Sister Tian's help. I'll treat you to a meal later."
Luo Nan spoke in passing, and he suddenly felt that these words were very familiar. It seemed that he had said these words more than once in the past few days. Actually, this was normal. As his social range expanded, his interpersonal relationships gradually became more complex. It was hard to avoid social interactions. What other words could it be if he didn't say these words?
