Chapter 91: I can't even connect to the mecha, isn't this a waste of time?
On a particularly glaring morning, the blazing rays of light seemed like countless sharp swords, piercing through the windows and mercilessly into every corner of the classroom, as if to completely dispel all the shadows. Su Nian's face was as pale as paper, and there seemed to be a hint of gray in the paleness. Her steps were as heavy as dragging a thousand-pound boulder, and she slowly walked into the mecha classroom. There was a hint of helplessness and stubbornness in her eyes, and her dim eyes seemed to have lost their former brilliance, like a pearl covered in dust. Because she knew her current situation, she could not use her mental power, and could not connect to the mecha that she was once so familiar with.
In the classroom, the students' laughter was like a stream of joy, while the humming sound of the mecha was like a low thunder. The two intertwined to form a strong and hard-to-ignore contrast. When the course began, the students skillfully activated the mental connection device, and their movements were smooth and seamless. The moment they established a connection with the mecha, the students' faces were filled with confidence and excitement, and the light was like the rising sun, bright and warm. Their movements were smooth and skillful, as if they were integrated with the mecha and controlled it at will.
Su Nian could only stand aside silently, looking at the mechas that were running smoothly, feeling disappointed. Her eyes were full of desire, but covered by helplessness, as if a thick layer of dark clouds covered the sky. Her tightly pursed lips revealed her inner unwillingness, and the slightly trembling corners of her lips seemed to be trying her best to suppress the emotions that were about to burst out.
"Why is she still attending the mecha class? She can't even connect to the mecha. Isn't this a waste of time?" A classmate curled his lips and whispered to the person next to him in a low voice. His eyes were full of disdain, and his gaze was like cold frost and snow, ruthlessly piercing Su Nian.
"That's right, I think she should transfer to the Department of Agriculture, there's no future for her here." Another classmate echoed with a hint of sarcasm on his face. That smile was twisted and mean, as if he was appreciating a tragedy.
"I heard that the Department of Agriculture doesn't use much mental energy, so maybe she can have an easier time going there."
At this time, the teacher also noticed Su Nian's embarrassing situation. He frowned slightly, and the wrinkles were like deep ravines, full of worries. He walked over slowly and said softly: "Su Nian, why don't you go to the Department of Agriculture to recuperate for a while? Relax, maybe your mental strength will recover, and then come back to class. You are still young and have plenty of time. Our school graduates look at scores, not years of study. Some people graduate after eight years. If you really can't make it, majoring in agriculture and graduating from the Department of Agriculture is not bad. Now agriculture is also very important to the development of society. Graduates of the Department of Agriculture can also achieve great things, and they don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield."
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Ye Yao could no longer hold back. Her eyes widened instantly, and there was a flame of anger burning in them, as if she wanted to burn all the injustices before her eyes. She glared at the students who were gossiping, "Stop talking nonsense here! Su Nian will definitely get better, and she won't be defeated by this little difficulty!" Her voice was sharp and high-pitched, with endless anger and protection.
However, those classmates argued: "We are doing this for her own good. We have no ill intentions. It's not a good idea for her to hold on like this." They had false innocence on their faces, but their eyes were dodging, not daring to look directly at Ye Yao's anger.
Ye Yao was furious, her chest heaving violently, her breathing rapid and heavy: "For her own good? You are just adding insult to injury! Don't you know how outstanding Su Nian was before? She is just temporarily in trouble now, and you are so impatient to see her make a fool of herself? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" Her voice became a little hoarse with excitement.
Zhao Yan and Cheng Yi also walked over quickly. Zhao Yan's face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato, and the veins on his neck popped out. He pointed at the students who were gossiping and shouted, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense here, or I'll beat you up!" He clenched his fists tightly, as if he would swing them at any time.
Although Cheng Yi is usually not good at speaking, he couldn't help but say at this moment: "Su Nian is our friend, we believe in her! People like you don't understand what true friendship is!" His voice was trembling because of anger and excitement.
The usually aloof academic master Chu Feng also spoke slowly. His expression was calm but his tone was firm, like an unshakable mountain: "Su Nian's potential is obvious to all. Now it's just a temporary predicament. Don't look down on a young girl because she is poor. She will definitely rise again." His eyes were full of trust and encouragement.
Su Nian bit her lips so hard that they lost their color and turned pale. She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain. Her eyes were firm and persistent, as if burning with an everlasting flame, and she said, "Teacher, I don't want to give up. I'll try again." Her voice was not loud, but it was full of strength and determination.
The teacher sighed, and the sigh sounded like an autumn breeze, with a hint of coolness: "Su Nian, I know you are unwilling, but you also have to consider the actual situation." There was both sympathy and helplessness in his eyes.
Ye Yao quickly said, "Teacher, Su Nian has been working very hard, please give her some more time. She practices hard every day, can't you give her another chance?" Her voice was pleading, tears welling up in her eyes.
Other students murmured quietly: "What's the point of working hard? Without mental strength, everything is in vain."
Ye Yao became even angrier when she heard this. Her body was shaking with anger, and she shouted, "What do you know! Su Nian will definitely be able to overcome it! She has gone through so many difficulties and never fell, and she won't fall this time either!" Her voice echoed in the classroom, making everyone's ears buzz.
The students' discussions still echoed in her ears, like a group of annoying flies that could not be shaken off. Su Nian took a deep breath, and the breath seemed to carry ice chips, cold and stinging. She tried to calm herself down, but the pain and struggle in her heart surged like a tide, hitting her mental defenses wave after wave. She felt as if she was in a storm and could be swallowed up at any time, but she still stood stubbornly, refusing to bow to fate.
