Chapter 21: Chapter 21 [Borrowing a Book]

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The process of applying to join the Spirit Martial class went smoothly.

The homeroom teacher was extremely surprised seeing Lu Li’s spiritual power skyrocket.

After all, a 40-point increase in Spiritual Power Index in a month was either a miracle pill or some other fortuitous encounter for a 12th-grade student.

In comparison, Jiang Xu, who had increased by 19 points, appeared ordinary.

“I didn’t expect you to have such an opportunity. Since you have the chance to enter a Spirit Martial University, then you should take it!”

The homeroom teacher paused and said, “However, your culture studies is a problem. In the previous mock exams, the average score for all the subjects hovered around 60%, and this was inclusive of your Language subject results. This is very risky! Spirit Martial University’s minimum standard is a 65% scoring rate. You must study hard. Otherwise, even if your Spiritual Power Index reaches the standard and your culture studies don’t, it will be embarrassing.”

“I understand, teacher. I will study hard.”

After being reprimanded by his homeroom teacher, Lu Li could only nod his head repeatedly.

In his previous life, his results also biased heavily towards Language. He could score 120 out of 150 in Language. However, the results were a little miserable for the other subjects.

The homeroom teacher thought for a moment and said, “How about this? From now on, after lunch every day, come to my office. I will tutor you in physics.”

“Uh, this…There’s no need, teacher. I’ll study hard and promise to improve my score before the college entrance examination! If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll come to consult you. We’ll head back to class first without taking more of your time.”

Lu Li quickly refused and found an excuse to leave with Jiang Xu.

Of course, he knew his homeroom teacher’s good intentions, but he would rather not come every day at noon.

Every day at noon for two hours, he would rather use it to read some other books. Wouldn’t that be better?

The homeroom teacher did not insist, but asked that Jiang Xu, who had good physics results, help Lu Li revise.

Jiang Xu readily agreed.

Then, the two left the office and went back to class.

Along the way, Jiang Xu laughed. He said, “Li, you should study hard. Otherwise, if what the teacher said does come true, your Spiritual Power Index is up to the standard, but not your cultural studies, it will be really awkward.”

“Don’t worry, I guarantee that my college entrance exam scoring rate will be above 90%.”

“Here we go again.”

Jiang Xu just smiled. He was already used to Lu Li’s brags.

Lu Li didn’t say anything else. He was thinking of the small teleportation array.

He couldn’t help but start to examine this school.

Although he knew that placing the teleportation array in the school was a little risky, he couldn’t help but consider it.

As he saw the school library, Lu Li’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right, the library. If there’s a place with the most books, the library and bookstore would definitely be the choice.”

He would finish reading his textbooks soon.

After he finished reading, he would need other books.

For example, novels, reference books, and even manga.

Since the Learning System needed to be triggered by reading the entire book, reading non-academic books should also be considered learning.

After all, strictly speaking, books like the basic breathing technique could also be considered non-academic books.

To verify his thoughts, Lu Li followed Jiang Xu back to class quickly.

He rummaged through his drawer for a long time, but he still couldn’t find any non-academic books.

He couldn’t help but ask Jiang Xu, “Jiang, do you have any non-academic books that I can read?”

Jiang Xu was puzzled. “Non-academic books? I don’t have that kind of thing. Do you think I’m you?”

Jiang Xu was usually very disciplined in other aspects, except when it came to eating. Although Jiang Xu also played games, Lu Li had never seen him bring any non-academic books to school.

Lu Li could only look at the rest of the class.

Finally, his eyes fell on a beautiful girl with long hair in the third row of the third group.

That was the class monitor of class two, Chen Siyu.

At this time, Chen Siyu had just put a book with a nice cover into the drawer and was chatting with the girls at the same table.

They were chatting and laughing.

Lu Li’s gaze couldn’t help but lock onto the book that she had just put into the drawer.

Lu Li remembered that in his previous life, she would often take out a non-academic book from her drawer to read whenever class was over. It seemed to be a novel.

Judging from the cover, it must be a novel.

Confirming his thoughts, he stood up and walked towards her.

Jiang Xu looked at Lu Li walking towards Chen Siyu and was puzzled.

“Class Monitor.”

Chen Siyu heard Lu Li’s voice and turned around. The smile on her face, which had just been chatting and laughing with her deskmate, had not faded. It was a beautiful smile.

When she saw Lu Li, she asked, “Lu Li, what’s wrong? Do you want to hand in your physical examination form?”

Chen Siyu often helped to hang onto the students’ physical examination forms so that she could hand them over to the homeroom teacher at the class meeting. Subconsciously, she thought that Lu Li was here to hand in his physical examination form.

After all, she and Lu Li did not usually interact.

Lu Li said, “No, about that, I want to borrow something from you.”

“Borrow something?”

Hearing this, Chen Siyu was not the only one who was at a loss.

The surrounding boys and girls could not help but turn to look at Lu Li in confusion.

Especially the two boys who were sitting behind Chen Siyu. They seem to have felt a sense of crisis and looked at him strangely.

Lu Li did not beat around the bush and said directly, “Can you lend me the novel you just read?”

“Huh?!”

Chen Siyu could not help but look surprised when she heard that. “Uhh…”

Indeed, she often read novels during her spare time, so it was not a secret.

However, why was Lu Li interested in the novel she had read?

Being interested was secondary. The main thing was that it was not convenient to lend the novel that she reads to others!

The few classmates at her side were also surprised.

Hitting on her?

With this sort of technique?

Starting from her interest?

Lu Li naturally did not know what others thought of this. He was afraid that she would disagree, so he said, “I saw the cover. It seemed to be a book that I liked very much that I once saw in the bookstore. I feel like reading it. Could you lend it to me?”

Lu Li’s tone was very sincere, making it difficult for her to refuse.

“But, but… I haven’t finished reading it yet…”

Chen Siyu looked very troubled. Lu Li saw her face quickly turn red.

Lu Li said, “I’m only borrowing it for one period. You won’t be able to read it later in class, right? I really like this book. Can you lend it to me just for a while?”

“You like this book? Really?”

Chen Siyu’s face was full of surprise and disbelief. Her face turned even redder.

Lu Li didn’t notice that something was wrong. He nodded and said, “Yes, I often read this type of book. I just happened to read a little snippet of this book before. I really like it, so……”

Lu Li put on an embarrassed and shy look.

On the other hand, Lu Li’s expression made Chen Siyu’s deskmate surprised and looked at him with a long meaningful expression.

“Yeah, sure you can…”

Chen Siyu took out the book from the drawer in embarrassment and handed it to Lu Li with both hands.

She blushed and said, “I didn’t expect you to like this type of book, Lu Li….”
