Chapter 1258 Poor Students

A few days later, one afternoon, Zijing passed by the teacher's office and faintly heard a suppressed, almost desperate sigh from inside. He pushed the door open and saw Wuliangta Jizi slumped over her desk in an extremely decadent posture, her hands clutching her head tightly, her long burgundy hair scattered messily on the table, as if she had just experienced a catastrophe.

Zijing's heart skipped a beat, thinking something big had happened. She quickly stepped forward and subconsciously stretched out her finger to check her breath.

"Snapped!"

Before her hand could even touch her, Ji Zi waved it away. She raised her head, revealing a face full of despair, her eyes unfocused, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed even heavier than usual.

"I'm not dead..." Ji Zi said weakly, her voice hoarse, "but it's almost the same..."

Zijing breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up a nearby chair and sat down, then asked curiously, "What happened? Who was that troublesome student who made you suffer like this?"

Jizi took a deep breath, as if using up all her strength, and pulled out a crumpled test paper from under a pile of messy documents. She slapped it in front of Zijing with a trembling finger and pointed at the name at the top - Kiana Kaslana.

"Who else could it be but this child..." Ji Zi's voice was miserable. "Look at what she wrote... I teach tactical theory! Not storytelling!"

Zijing picked up the test paper, glanced at the answers filled in crooked handwriting, and the corners of her mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.

Title: Briefly describe the basic characteristics of Honkai energy and the precautions for its application in actual combat.

Kiana's answer: Honkai energy is awesome! You can just swish and hit monsters! The only thing to note is... you can't hit your own people! And... well... you should shout loudly when you hit them, it looks cooler! Like me!

Topic: Analyze the command mistakes and successful experiences of the evacuation operation in the last simulated incident.

Kiana's answer: My mistake was running too slowly! The lesson is... I need to run faster next time! And I need to bring more of Mei's rice balls!

Title: Discuss the adaptive adjustment plan of Valkyrie armor in different environments.

Kiana's answer: Wear cool clothes in the summer! Wear warm clothes in the winter! Waterproof clothes are best for rainy days! ... (There's also a stick figure next to it, wearing a puffy skirt and armor)

Zijing silently put down the test paper, rubbed her brow, and finally understood why Ji Zi was like this. This was no longer a problem of knowledge reserve, this was completely a problem of brain circuit!

"I asked her to go back and copy the knowledge points ten times," Ji Zi closed her eyes in pain, "Guess what she said? She said, 'Aunt Ji Zi, my hand will break!'... Who is her aunt?!"

She suddenly grabbed Zijing's arm, her eyes filled with the light of "grasping at a life-saving straw": "Zijing! You are her brother after all! I need your help! This child, if her grades continue like this, she won't be able to graduate, and she might even send the examiner to the hospital during the make-up exam!"

Seeing the poor teacher in front of her with such a "miserable" expression, Zijing sighed and nodded: "...I'll do my best."

"That's right. Do you want to go for a drink after school?"

"Allow me to refuse."

That night, Zijing arrived at Kiana's dorm room. After knocking on the door, she saw Kiana sitting upright... on the rug, her hands resting on her knees, her blue eyes fluttering. She tried to put on a good, obedient front, but her guilty conscience was practically spilling out. Mei stood behind her, offering Zijing a gentle, yet pleading smile.

"Brother..." Kiana said softly, "You...you know everything?"

Zijing walked in, closed the door, put the terrible test paper on the coffee table, didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Kiana's face immediately fell, and she rushed over to hug Zijing's legs (she didn't really reach her because Mei held her back), and cried fakely: "Wuwuwu...Brother! Don't tell my parents! Especially my mom! She'll nag me to death! My dad might even force me to practice extra until dawn! I'll die! I'll really die!"

Zijing looked at her acting like a fool, sighed helplessly, and thought for a moment: "It's okay not to tell your parents..."

Kiana's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?!"

"But," Amethyst changed the subject, her tone becoming serious, "there are conditions."

"What conditions? I will agree to your request even if it means going through fire and water!" Kiana promised, patting her chest.

"First, starting tomorrow, in addition to your regular classes, you will need to undergo at least two hours of 'special training' every day. This will be supervised by me or Teacher Jizi. The content will cover both theoretical reinforcement and practical application until your grades reach the passing line."

Kiana's face instantly turned bitter.

"Secondly," Zijing looked at Meiyi, "Meiyi, please keep an eye on her more often, especially when she's studying."

Mei immediately nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Teacher Zijing, I will supervise Kiana."

Kiana wailed, feeling as if her life had lost its color.

"Of course, you can choose to refuse," Zijing added slowly, "I'll call Ms. Cecilia right now. I'm sure she's very concerned about her daughter's academic progress..."

"I promise! Isn't it enough that I promise!" Kiana immediately interrupted with a scream, her whole body wilting like an eggplant hit by frost. "Devilish training is devilish training..."

"Okay, since you've agreed, let's start now." Zijing sat down at the desk and pointed to the chair next to her. "I happen to be free tonight. First, explain to me the wrong questions on your test paper one by one. What exactly are you thinking?"

Kiana moved to the chair reluctantly, picked up the test paper, and frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death.

"First, the first question, the characteristics of Honkai energy..."

"Uh...very powerful?"

"more specific!"

"So... it can glow? It can explode?"

"...Have you read the book?"

"I saw it! But there were too many words and they didn't recognize me..."

“…(Zijing takes a deep breath)”

Mei silently made three cups of tea, gently placed one of them next to Zijing's hand, gave him a look that said "thank you for your hard work", and then sat on the other side of Kiana, ready to correct her if she was distracted or talking nonsense.

Under the light, the voice of the tutor was intermittent. Sometimes there was Amethyst's explanation, trying to remain calm, sometimes there was Kiana scratching her head and mumbling, and sometimes there was Mei's gentle reminders and explanations.

Then, a week later, during the class quiz, Kiana came out full of confidence, but after comparing answers with Mei, she felt like the sky had fallen.

"Are there any more questions at the end of the test?!"
