The Strongest Brain in the Interstellar

Carl woke up at the wrong time; he had been beaten into a pig’s head by Jiang Hui, and both of his wrists and one leg were slightly broken, leaving him seriously injured.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a simple beating that Jiang Hui had given him. The overwhelming psychic pressure released by her during that moment of loss of control had also affected him significantly.

Being assigned to Class Two meant that Carl had decent physical capabilities. He had already gone through a second awakening, reaching a B+ level. This is quite good among those who are not fully awakened on this planet, and he hoped to reach A-level after completely awakening. Thus, even if he couldn’t be selected for a military academy, he could still enroll in a good school.

He probably didn’t expect to run into someone tough.

The minor incident from Jiang Hui second awakening have mostly been nursed back to health by Jiang her, and in a recent mental power test, one of her individual scores nearly reached an A+ level. Although A and B may seem just one small grade apart, the sheer impact of the power difference is formidable.

Carl clearly remembered that at that moment, he had been utterly powerless against the overwhelming advantage of Jiang Hui’s psychic power. That was the reason he was completely subdued by her and couldn’t move; it wasn’t just because her technique was perfect or her strength was immense, but rather due to the crushing level of her psychic ability.

God knows how fortunate he felt to have passed out early while she also fainted quickly. Otherwise, if he had been awake to deal with someone who had completely lost their temper, he probably would have ended up with his remaining leg broken as well, and the overall extent of his injuries would likely have been even worse than now.

He woke up without paying attention to his surroundings, only to hear his father arguing with the school’s teachers about whose responsibility the incident was.

He certainly knew whose responsibility it was—

If it weren’t for his injuries, Carl would have been willing to step in and at least find a way to clear his name. But he was in so much pain, his entire body hurt, and the enemy was too ruthless. For a moment, Carl hesitated about whether he should wake up and support his father.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hui brought him up without leaving any room for maneuver.

Even with his eyes closed, he could sense the gazes from all around him falling on him, making it difficult for him to move or stay still, leaving him in a dilemma.

“Ouch, my son. Good child. You finally woke up. If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t know how these people are putting blame on you. If you keep this up, you might end up with people throwing dirt on you for no reason,” his father said, clearly putting on a dramatic act.

Jiang Hui couldn’t help but wonder whether this father knew what role his so-called good child played in all of this, or if he was actually aware and the two of them were just acting together? Because the way the father was behaving didn’t seem like the action of a normal-thinking adult; it felt too deliberate…

Now that the other party involved had also woken up, she had cast her bait and would just wait to see how they would bite.

When Jiang Hui had fought him, she had almost used all her strength; if it weren’t for the fact that interstellar humans had evolved to have tougher bones, his nose might have already been flattened by now. Therapist Lu was so harassed by this parent that he couldn’t function normally in the infirmary, only managing to bring some medication with him in a hurry. As for the medications needed for treating external injuries, he hadn’t even had the chance to administer them to the kids yet.

Thus, under the burden of his father’s antics, Carl had to continue speaking while sporting this pig-headed appearance.

Little did she know that Carl was internally complaining about his father’s incompetence. He hadn’t even decided whether to keep pretending to be asleep when his father jumped in to acknowledge him.

However, since his father had already spoken, the crowd’s attention was now firmly on him. He was clearly in a difficult position, forced to put on a brave face and act as if he had just woken up, calmly sitting up.

He was actually a bit better off than Jiang Hui; after all, he only had external injuries.

But at the moment, both his hands and legs were in pain. Having assaulted someone and ending up in this state was a failure. Coincidentally, this failure made it easier for him to dodge responsibility, which he naturally wasn’t willing to accept. Thinking about the circumstances of that day, Carl couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

The boy furrowed his brow slightly, his expression natural and even a bit aggrieved as he said, “I don’t know why Jiang classmate did this to me. I just wanted to go back to the training ground to get something. I accidentally left it here while running too fast after class today. This classmate with me can vouch for me.”

Saying that, he actually took out something resembling a wallet from his pocket, opening it to reveal a student ID, a pass card, and even a bunch of keys of unknown origin.

This excuse was quite reasonable; it was hard to tell whether it was a last-minute fabrication or if it had been premeditated.

Moreover, the young man had quite a thick skin, boldly lying with his eyes wide open, even though he knew full well that he was the one who had launched the sneak attack. Now, not only was he refusing to admit it, but he was also turning the tables and slandering the victim; he was quite a character.

The parties involved both presented their statements, but the first words were conflicting; each side stuck to their own version of events and refused to admit anything. This round of questioning ended up being pointless.

The room instantly fell into silence.

Jiang Hui was the first to feel impatient with the stagnant situation and atmosphere. She was feeling quite uncomfortable and just wanted to resolve the matter quickly so she could go back and rest. Being stuck here without clarity, and seeing the perpetrator acting like a victim was truly disgusting.

“Mr. Principal, I believe there should be surveillance cameras at the training ground. Why don’t you pull up the footage and see who’s lying?”

To her surprise, the principal appeared troubled: “Jiang classmate, you may not know this, but I had already considered pulling the surveillance footage before both of you woke up. Unfortunately, one of the cameras was accidentally damaged by an instructor demonstrating something for the students today, and the other cameras experienced connectivity issues as well. We had to take those ports offline at that time.”

This incident occurred while she was in the infirmary, and Stark was also there… They must have missed the timing and were completely unaware.

Jiang Hui: …

“Mr. Principal, I really feel that the school isn’t handling safety control very well.” The last time, the surveillance coverage was inadequate, with many blind spots, and Meisi and the others almost got caught by a star beast without even realizing it. And now it was happening again—

Principal Jason was at a loss for words. But who could have predicted that things would turn out this way?

Jiang Hui intended to express her dissatisfaction to the school and hoped the principal could provide an alternative solution. However, someone couldn’t hold back more than the principal: “Huh? So you mean there’s no evidence. None of you can prove that what this female student is saying is true. So what else is there to discuss?”

Great, Jiang Hui was now sure that this parent likely understood his son far better than everyone else had imagined.
