Chapter 727: Chapter 746: Love Makes My Younger Brother Poach from Others
The colonel was a seasoned veteran of the military.
"As an assault specialist, she has the potential for an 85. As a Scout, a 95. But... all in all, her rating is around 90. Still, she won. In the arena, the victor always gets a bit more of a boost than the loser."
So, an 8.5 was perfectly reasonable.
But the rather naive Teacher Mao still felt the score was wrong.
They were both his students, and he could clearly tell that A2’s grasp of the material wasn’t as good as Qiuqiu’s.
And Qiuqiu was a natural person.
When Teacher Mao mentioned she was a natural person, the colonel’s eyes lit up, and he let out a "wow." "A natural person, huh? That’s not easy at all."
But after that exclamation, he said nothing more.
Teacher Mao wanted to say more, but just then, Principal Lao Fu spoke up. "A-level and C-level Spiritual Power Users are still compared when they stand on the same stage. It’s the same for a natural person and a Genetic Hybrid."
There are no special considerations.
"Alright, Little Mao, you can head down and organize the next matches. The colonel and I will have a private chat."
"...Alright."
After he left, the colonel leaned in. "Teacher, is he one of your more recent students? He seems much more naive than I ever was."
"There aren’t many people more complicated than you."
"Haha, so that young lady is a natural person? She’s quite good. What direction do you plan to develop her in? You should increase her workload. I feel like she could go in the assault direction and become an assault general someday."
"You know, her ability to learn and handle pressure is impressive. Aren’t we supposed to be cultivating our own power base...?"
He rattled on for a while.
"Stop."
"We don’t need to push her. She’ll push herself. She’s a resilient sapling, but it’s a shame... she won’t necessarily belong completely to us."
"?"
"Weren’t you asking earlier who our school’s famous dual-specialization student is? It’s her."
"!"
"Holy shit."
"Damn, she’s good. If I’d known, I would’ve given her a perfect 10." He laughed, then pulled up another video.
Old Fu shot him a glance, not buying it for a second. An 8.5 was an 8.5. The guy was hard-hearted and never let external factors affect his ratings.

Jiang Qiuqiu won!
The livestream chat was filled with cheers.
According to the rules for today’s competition, she still had several more matches. Huo Jia immediately left the stream and searched for Jiang Qiuqiu’s name again.
The stream was waiting to go live. It seemed she was still on break.
’The way my little cousin is so frantically trying to find her stream—’
’Uh.’
At first, Huo Deng had assumed his cousin just admired his opponent. His cousin was dense, after all. The fact that he’d gone out to practice with a girl was surely just a coincidence.
’It just so happened that his opponent was a girl.’
But now, he suddenly wasn’t so sure.
’Is that the face you make when looking at an opponent?’
’Is that the face you should make when you find out your opponent won?’
He was confused for a moment.
"Huo Jia? Little Jia?"
"Hm? What is it, cuz?"
"You keep searching for this girl... is there something going on between you two?" Normally, Huo Jia would have snapped back with something like: ’Yeah, we’re going to compete, fight, and get stronger together.’
But this time, Huo Jia paused. It wasn’t that some strange nerve had been struck, but... he just gave a hollow-sounding reply, "Nothing’s going on between us right now."
’This is a crucial time for her studies. I don’t want to bother her with such personal matters.’
’She’s so outstanding.’
’So busy.’
’She shouldn’t be distracted by trivial matters.’
’Maybe there will be more time in the future...’
His gaze gradually softened, while Huo Deng’s mind was just full of: ???
’Does love make people blind?’
’Is love making my picture-perfect cousin try to steal someone else’s girl!?’
