Only until the footsteps werent heard anymore, did Gu Qingjiu crawl out from under the desk.

She was holding that silver lighter with a dazed expression on her face.

She had seen the Chief Instructor fidgeting with this lighter before.

But she had never seen the Chief Instructor smoke.

For the Chief Instructor to suddenly be tossing this lighter to her, what did it mean?

She carefully looked at it. It was only a small, silver lighter.

There werent any patterns, and it was square. However, engraved on the silver coating was the alphabet H.

She couldnt quite understand why, but she carefully placed that lighter into her pocket before heading to the combat competition venue.

There was still some time until she was due to compete. Since the latter part was mostly the guys competing, Gu Qingjiu didnt harbor much hope due to the disparity in physical strength between the two genders.

Coincidentally, she and Qi Xiaoran competed at roughly the same time, so she didnt have the chance to watch Qi Xiaoran compete.

Surprisingly, Gu Qingjiu won two consecutive rounds in the combat competition.

She didnt have much difficulty winning those rounds.

It could only be said that she got lucky, to be assigned to opponents who werent that strong.

After Gu Qingjiu had emerged as victorious, Gu Qian and Chu Lian came up to surround her. Aiyoyoh Qingjiu, youre really capable. You even made it to the second round in combat. Dont tell me youre going to create history?

Seeing them look so excited, Gu Qingjiu shook her head and laughed. Stop talking about me, what about you guys? I remember you two made it past the selection rounds in combat.

Although Gu Qian and Chu Lian didnt have much talent in shooting, both did pretty well in combat and qualified to compete in this segment.

However, the instant she asked this question, the atmosphere grew a little awkward.

Gu Qian opened her mouth and said, We were defeated in the first round.

She looked as though she couldnt bear to recall the matter.

Gu Qingjiu couldnt help but rap Gu Qians head and jokingly said, Useless!

Then she asked, How are Qi Xiaorans results?

With a hint of mystery, Chu Lian answered, I think shes really capable. She defeated her opponent in more or less ten seconds, and she was forceful and ferocious in her tactics. Shes occupied one of the three spots in combat.

Its likely for our dormitory to have the champion in shooting and combat. Incredible.

Gu Qian then came up with a rare retort, Only the two of us are dragging the dormitory down.

Chu Lian instantly rolled her eyes at Gu Qian. Im better than you, okay? At least I was defeated in the second round, whereas you lost in the first round.

You just got a bit luckier!

Gu Qian was unwilling to admit defeat, and seeing as the two of them were about to get into a quarrel again, Gu Qingjiu hurriedly stopped them. Alright, alright, lets stop talking about this. Lets go back to the dormitory first.

No, no. Lets go for dinner first. Im famished.

Only

The school canteen extended dining by an hour so that students who had just finished competing would have something to eat.

Alright, lets go.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. She was just about to go with Gu Qian and Chu Lian to the canteen when she saw Feng Yumeng running over.

She looked a little thrilled. Qingjiu, I saw that you made it to the next round. Congrats.

Seeing Feng Yumeng, Gu Qingjiu nodded with a smile. Thank you, I will try my best.

Go for it. Only you and two other people from our specialization made it to the next round.

Gu Qian was astonished to hear this. Why is the computer science specialization so unlucky?
