After attending several classes, Nie Yan discovered the content was fairly easy . Many of the theories he couldn’t understand in the previous timeline were now easily solvable . Perhaps it was due to the change in his mentality or the fact that he was more mature, but his comprehension ability seemed to have improved significantly .
Xu Yan pointed at a student sitting in the middle of the second row . “You see that guy? He’s Dan Yan . He only started coming to class a few days ago . He’s probably your strongest rival . He’s rank two in the class . ”
Nie Yan’s eyes followed the direction Xu Yan pointed . Dan Yan looked like quite the pretty boy, especially with his fair skin and trendy hairstyle . He dressed casually in slacks and a t-shirt . He kind of resembled those celebrities on the television . However, one could tell his muscles weren’t simply for aesthetics but rather brimmed with explosive power .
Nie Yan chuckled . He wasn’t the slightest bit worried about Dan Yan . His real enemies were people like Cao Xu, Soaring Angel, and Qin Han, not these random students in the Top Military Academy . Xu Yan probably didn’t understand this . After all, the two of them lived in different worlds .
Dan Yan wasn’t the only one with both muscle and brain in the command faculty . There were several others .
The end-of-class bell rang . Nie Yan prepared to get up and leave, when a figure appeared in front of him . He nearly collided into them .
Nie Yan lifted his head . Standing in front of him was their class president, Zhao Shiyu .
Nie Yan eyed Zhao Shiyu . She wore a pink spaghetti top which revealed her delicate shoulders, a pair of shorts that barely covered her butt, and black kneesocks that accentuated her slender legs . Given her looks and fashion sense, she did pass as a beauty . However, everything was relative . Though she did give off a bit of sex appeal standing like that, she paled in comparison to Xie Yao . It was like pitting the dim glow of a firefly against the moon . Everyone’s taste was different too . He personally disliked these types of pushy women .
“Class President, what can I help you with?” Nie Yan asked .
“Nie Yan, our class is having a get-together in Conviction later today . Would you like to join?” Zhao Shiyu asked with an alluring smile . Xu Yan and several other male students in the vicinity were entranced .
“Sorry . I’m a bit busy tonight . I can’t make it . You guys go ahead without me . I’m only a low level anyway,” Nie Yan politely declined . After all, they were all in the same class . There was a need to maintain a sense of cordiality .
Zhao Shiyu’s eyebrows twitched . This was her first time organizing this kind of class get-together . Everyone else had agreed enthusiastically . Nie Yan was the only one not giving her any face by declining . With his first place ranking in the overall score, him not coming was a slight to her reputation .
She was confident in her looks . Why else would the male students in the class push for her to be the class president? However, Nie Yan hadn’t given her so much as a glance .
“Everyone else is coming . You’re the only one who’s not . Aren’t you acting a bit too high and mighty?” Zhao Shiyu said in an unpleasant tone .
“Class Prez, I can vouch for him . He really is busy tonight . Next time . He’ll definitely be there,” Xu Yan spoke up in an attempt to mediate .
Zhao Shiyu coldly snorted . “If he doesn’t want to come, so be it . He won’t be missed anyway . ”
Nie Yan coldly gazed at Zhao Shiyu . What an arrogant woman . Just because she was elected as the class president, she believed she could boss everybody around . He actually wanted to come originally . However, it appeared that wasn’t necessary now . Nothing worthwhile would come out of this kind of get-together anyway, at least not with her as the organizer .
Nie Yan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to this kind of woman .
“Nie Yan, a beauty is looking for you!” a student shouted from the door .
Everyone turned their attention to the door and fell into a daze . The unexpected visitor was Jiang Yingyu . The boys in the class were immediately enamored by her figure . She was far more beautiful than Zhao Shiyu .
Staring at Jiang Yingyu with heated gazes, many of the male students started drooling .
“It’s Jiang Yingyu!”
“Why is she here? She’s looking for Nie Yan too! I wonder what their relationship is . ”
“Who knows? Could they be lovers?”
Jiang Yingyu immediately became popular upon entering the Top Military Academy . She was elevated to a goddess in the hearts of the male students . Many people longed after her flawless figure . Few guys could resist having dirty thoughts surface in their hearts after seeing her alluring dance . However, now, this goddess was specifically looking for Nie Yan .
Many of the male students in the class shot Nie Yan a jealous glare .
Nie Yan stood up . Zhao Shiyu was shocked and stepped aside . Seeing Jiang Yingyu standing at the doorway, she immediately felt her own lustre dim as a feeling of inferiority washed over her .
Jiang Yingyu stood around restlessly, her heart beating heavily in her chest . Thinking about the awkwardness of meeting Nie Yan, she wanted to turn around and run .
Nie Yan walked up to the doorway . He looked at Jiang Yingyu and asked in an insipid tone, “Do you need something?”
“Erm… it’s like this . I have a show in two days, and I’d really like it if you could come and watch . Here are some tickets . You can invite a few of your friends,” Jiang Yingyu said after mustering up all her courage . She stared at Nie Yan in anticipation .
“I’ll think about it, but I probably won’t have the time . If you don’t mind, can you give me those tickets? A lot of the guys in my class are probably interested in your show,” Nie Yan said after thinking for a bit . From beginning to end, he didn’t really have any interest in Jiang Yingyu . If it was just as a friend, he didn’t really mind . After all, they both came out of Huahai High . They still had that bit of a connection .
“Alright, thank you!” Jiang YIngyu nodded vigorously . Seeing that Nie Yan hadn’t flat-out rejected her, she was ecstatic as a cheerful smile blossomed on her face .
Nie Yan was dumbstruck . Just who was thanking who? He accepted the tickets from Jiang Yingyu . There were five in total . She had prepared quite a few .
After handing over the tickets, Jiang Yingyu left .
Nie Yan walked back into the classroom, only to be greeted by a room full of glares . Their eyes were filled with naked envy .
Nie Yan bitterly smiled . There was probably a huge misunderstanding . In this kind of situation, however, he couldn’t explain himself even if he had 10 mouths . Forget it . His conscience was clear .
Zhao Shiyu retreated in defeat . She felt completely overshadowed the moment Jiang Yingyu appeared . Nie Yan’s rejection made her feel like she had lost all face . A seed of resentment was planted deep in her heart .
“So, tell us . Why did Jiang Yingyu come looking for you?” Xu Yan approached like a housewife who had sniffed out some juicy drama and hung his arm around Nie Yan’s neck .
“She’s my old high school classmate . She gave me a few tickets for her performance . If you guys want, I can give them to you . ” Nie Yan handed over the tickets to Xu Yan and the others .
“Wait, really!? Awesome! You’re a godsend! I’ve been trying to get my hands on one, but I couldn’t find them for sale anywhere! But five just plopped down into your hand like that!” Fei Zhe said .
“One per person, don’t fight!” Xu Yan shouted . Several people in the vicinity immediately made a mad scramble for a ticket . Thankfully, his hands were quick . He had also gotten himself one .
Even a reserved fellow like Xia Tianyu fought for a ticket like he was possessed .
Every person that managed to snag a ticket was extremely excited .
Nie Yan was speechless . He had no interest in these kinds of performances .
“Nie Yan, if you get more tickets in the future, make sure to remember this brother here . ” Fei Zhe patted Nie Yan’s back with a hearty smile
“Me too!” Xu Yan added .
“Hey, tell us the truth . You and Jiang Yingyu aren’t just classmates, right? Don’t think no one saw how excited and happy she looked when you accepted those tickets . Seeing her like that, I thought I saw an angel descend to earth,” Fei Zhe said .
“Mhhm!” Xu Yan firmly nodded in agreement .
Jiang Yingyu soon became the hot topic of everyone in the class . All the while Zhao Shiyu sat to the side, fighting the urge to bash her head into her desk .
With 20 more minutes to go before the next class . Nie Yan planned to go to the gym for some quick exercise . As he left his desk, someone called out to him .
“Hi, my name is Zheng Xu . ” The student extended his hand .
Nie Yan sized up Zheng Xu . They were roughly the same height . He looked quite muscular . Though he wasn’t much in the looks department, he was still passable . More importantly, Nie Yan could acutely detect the trace of hostility in his eyes . This fellow had come with malicious intentions .
Nie Yan didn’t know why his senses had become so much sharper than before . He could detect even the slightest changes in someone’s expression .
Nie Yan recalled Zheng Xu was ranked third in the class . He was quite strong . His score in the fitness examination wasn’t that far off from Nie Yan’s . A difference of 100–200 kg in punch force, kick force, and so on could be easily made up for in a fight with skill . However, Nie Yan had grown immensely since the Top Military Academy’s entrance exams . If the two were to compete now, Zheng Xu would be in for a rude awakening .
“It’s like this . I recently hit a bottleneck in my training . I’ve been looking for someone to give me some pointers, and I thought of you . Do you mind sparring with me for a bit? We can probably learn a thing or two from each other,” Zheng Xu said . His tone was quite polite, but the corners of his lips flashed with a faint sneer .
Nie Yan sensed this guy had a dagger hidden in smiles . Since Zheng Xu was simply asking for pointers, he could only go easy on this guy . If he got heavy-handed during the spar, it would become a topic of derision . However, if he let Zheng Xu seize an advantage, this treacherous fellow definitely wouldn’t hesitate to inflict serious injuries .
Nie Yan shot a glance at Zhao Shiyu in the back . She acted like this had nothing to do with her as she leisurely read a book .
Nie Yan inwardly sneered . These sorts of childish tricks couldn’t escape his eyes .
“Alright . Let’s meet in the gym . ” Nie Yan nodded .
Zheng Xu’s eyes flashed with a trace of excitement . “Sure!” He already started making his way toward the gym .
Xu Yan walked over and whispered, “Nie Yan, don’t spar with that guy . He’s definitely up to no good . Don’t fall for his trap . ”
“Right! That guy is shady as hell,” Fei Zhe added .
“Nie Yan, I believe in you! Teach him a lesson!” Xia Tianyu said with a raised fist .
Seeing their worried expressions, Nie Yan was moved . He could tell their feelings were sincere .
“Don’t worry . I’ll be fine . ” Nie Yan confidently smiled . It had been a long time since he had gotten some good exercise . He hoped Zheng Xu wouldn’t fall too easily .
No one knew who spread the news, but the whole class soon learned about the match . Who would want to miss out on something so entertaining? Everyone swarmed into the gymnasium . This was the first duel of the school year . They were all curious . Who was stronger between Nie Yan and Zheng Xu? Would Nie Yan really live up to his reputation of placing first in the overall score?
