Chapter 699: Chapter 719: Everything is Settled
I have to say, the scene was a little surreal.
Jiang Qiuqiu hummed in agreement. "You said a few extra words while I was working, so I got a little distracted."
"Focus next time."
After knowing each other for so long, Jiang Qiuqiu and Dean Zhu had become quite close, and they would occasionally joke around.
Jiang Qiuqiu hummed. "I will."
"But whenever you’re critiquing me, I can’t help but listen in."
"Restraint."
"As an outstanding Spiritual Power User, you need to learn restraint."
As they spoke, the food on the table was gradually polished off.
Jiang Qiuqiu tapped her terminal, and a smart butler quickly came over to clear away the bowls.
"I’ll send you specific feedback on today’s practical session later. For now, let’s talk about something else."
"What’s wrong...? Dean, why so serious all of a sudden?"
"I’m not being serious," Dean Zhu said. "Don’t you remember what I said before? Once you become a Spirit Healing Master, I’m going to take you out for a real practical class."
?
"We’re having a class... outside?"
"It’s not exactly a class, more of an... experience." Dean Zhu was being tight-lipped about it, unwilling to reveal any more details. "I’m planning to take you this Saturday. I’ve already arranged for your leave of absence with the Mecha Department."
This felt like a signal.
Jiang Qiuqiu sensed something. "Dean, does this mean that after this trip, you’re going to ask for my answer?"
Zhu Tiansheng shot her a glance. "So you finally realize you need to give me an answer? It’s been two months."
It was the end of June. It was time for a decision.
Otherwise, those little brats on the Star Network would go wild, speculating about everything.
"Are you suddenly asking about this because of all the recent talk online, Dean?"
"That’s part of the reason, but not all of it." Dean Zhu stood up. "It’s simply been long enough."
"Hmm... Dean, let me ask you a question. How do you think I’ve done with my theoretical studies and practical training so far?" she asked, a curious look on her face.
"Excellent." ’Her progress was remarkable, and as for her improvement... that was an understatement.’
’It was as if the God of the Universe himself was chasing after her to spoon-feed her.’
Jiang Qiuqiu smiled and blinked. "Actually, my Mecha piloting has been going quite well lately. Even though everyone says my Medium Armor isn’t as nimble as others’ Heavy Armor, I’ve switched back from Light Armor to Medium Armor."
That’s right, she had just switched a few days ago.
Her switch caused the students of Class A1 to exclaim once again, "She’s on another level!"
However, the students in the lower-ranked classes couldn’t understand. They just thought Class A1 loved to hype things up, wondering how they could get so worked up over a pilot with a B-rank.
The gossip then turned to how Jiang Qiuqiu must have a powerful background, forcing the A1 students to "seal their lips and do nothing but praise her."
Since the other students were already convinced by their own logic, no amount of explaining from Class A1 did any good.
Furthermore, once malicious parties started throwing inflammatory terms like "streamer" and "rich girl" into the mix, Jiang Qiuqiu’s reputation outside of the top-tier classes took a nosedive.
The crucial point was that it was difficult for the professors to clarify the situation.
Because Jiang Qiuqiu hadn’t yet decided whether to stay in the Mecha Department or the Spirit Healing Department, any careless clarification could easily make people think she was playing the field, stringing Zhu Tiansheng along, or trying to have it both ways.
In truth, Dean Zhu really didn’t want the student he had high hopes for to try and have it both ways.
Because it could easily ruin someone.
It really could.
So, hearing Jiang Qiuqiu’s hint, his expression soured. "You... after all this time to consider... you want to dual-specialize?"
"You saw right through me, didn’t you, Dean?"
