Chapter 378: Revision

Dawn Academy’s classroom areas were basically designated based on years. Area A mostly belonged to the first years. Xiao Lin took over half an hour to get to Classroom Four since he had stopped to take a shower and change his clothes before that. He had been constantly on the move since getting back to Dawn City, and had not had the time to rest since then.

Using his student ID to open the classroom door, he saw that Classroom Four was a very large lecture theater, capable of fitting almost two hundred people. In the classroom, a heat-regulating formation ensured that the environment was always at a comfortable temperature. The floor was also made with a special soft material to reduce the sounds created when walking, so the classroom was very quiet.

The classroom was almost full of students. Even though they could just study in their own rooms, it was quite useful to study in such an environment. With an environment like that, even the laziest person would not be able to hold back from reading.

Occasionally someone would look up and notice Xiao Lin, and all of them would have a shocked look on their face, opening their mouths as if they wanted to say something. However, they would consider their current environment and bury themselves back in their books. Xiao Lin did not know that many people, but most of the first years knew who Xiao Lin was. On top of that, he routinely went to the New World, and each trip he made would last at ten days to half a month, painting him as quite a mysterious figure that many gossiped about.

What Xiao Lin did not know was that even a lot of the students in the upper years knew who he was. Of course, most of them just knew who he was out of curiosity.

Gu Xiaoyue had noticed him from the moment he opened the door. She pursed her lips and hesitated before finally getting up, giving him a glare as she walked past Xiao Lin, then headed out of the classroom with Xiao Lin in tow.

“I would have shouted for you if you didn’t come out,” Xiao Lin said amusedly.

“Speak, what do you want?”

After so many days of not seeing each other, Gu Xiaoyue’s personality was as obstinate as ever. Xiao Lin said in annoyance, “I haven’t been around for so long, why aren’t you asking me where I went? Or even asking what happened?”

“Oh, do you have anything you need from me?”

“Forget it…” The corner of Xiao Lin’s lips twitched before he went straight to the point. He was there to borrow her notes, but even though that was what he said, Xiao Lin could not admit to himself that it was the whole reason. It was possible he just wanted a reason to talk to Gu Xiaoyue.

His reason did lead to some disbelief from Gu Xiaoyue. After deliberating for a bit, she said, “The notes are with me, and I can give them to you, but do you think you have enough time?”

“What?”

“The written tests are starting tomorrow, don’t you know?”

“I just got back,” Xiao Lin said in frustration.

Following Gu Xiaoyue back to the classroom and accepting a few thick notebooks, Xiao Lin was shocked at the neat handwriting. Gu Xiaoyue really was very earnest and comprehensive. Even though there was a lot of content, Gu Xiaoyue managed to arrange them to make a lot of sense in her own way.

That day would be fully utilized for revision, even if Xiao Lin himself had some doubts if he would succeed in cramming so much at the last minute. However, once he started, he completely forgot his doubts, focusing entirely on the notes. The atmosphere around the classroom had likely influenced him.

Once it got to the evening and closer to dinner time, students started to leave the classroom. Gu Xiaoyue was also feeling tired after revising for the whole day. When the classroom was beginning to get empty, she got up and prepared to leave as well, but she noticed that Xiao Lin, who was next to her, did not make any movements. She furrowed her eyebrows in thought before sitting back down, her notes were all with Xiao Lin, so Gu Xiaoyue could only stay behind if he did not move.

Another half an hour passed just like that, and the sky outside had turned dark. The automatic magical lights around the classroom began to light up. Basically everyone had already left. Only Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue were left.

Gu Xiaoyue was quite patient, not saying anything herself, nor did she remind or disturb Xiao Lin. At the start, she just continued flipping through her notes without any expressions on her face. She occasionally glanced over at Xiao Lin, and slowly the coldness in her eyes turned into curiosity.

Xiao Lin was flipping through the pages way too quickly. At the start, he still needed a few minutes for each page, but now he only needed a little over ten seconds per page. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he went through ten lines with just one glance.

Common Language of Planet Norma, History of Planet Norma, and Geography of Planet Norma were three compulsory courses. After four months, each course’s contents would be equal to a thick notebook. However, Gu Xiaoyue’s notes on the subjects took up at least ten to twenty notebooks.

Originally, Gu Xiaoyue did not think anything about Xiao Lin wanting to look at her notes, so she did not even tell him which notebooks were more important. That was because even she did not think Xiao Lin would be able to memorize everything in just one short day.

However, the books piled in front of Xiao Lin were getting less and less by the minute. Gu Xiaoyue finally could not hold back, and her low voice broke the silence of the room. “Are you really reading?”

Gu Xiaoyue’s suspicions were only met with silence, but she quickly noticed that Xiao Lin was not intentionally ignoring her. He was just so engrossed in the notes that he was ignoring everything around him.

Gu Xiaoyue did not get angry. Instead a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she used one hand to support her jaw, quietly looking at Xiao Lin for a moment before finally averting her gaze, moving back to her own notes.

Xiao Lin did not notice anything that Gu Xiaoyue had done. He was completely submerged in the sea of knowledge. Xiao Lin hated memorization work in the past, but when he applied that knowledge to Planet Norma, vibrant scenes formed in his head and seeped into his brain. The dry information slowly became more and more interesting.

As the day got later, as engrossed Xiao Lin was, his body still started to feel pangs of hunger. The rumbling of his stomach finally caused Xiao Lin to snap out of his trance. He slowly stretched his body, raising his head only to see the lights around the classroom as well as the darkness outside. Gaping for a moment, he immediately took out his phone. It was already past eight o’clock.

That caused Xiao Lin a lot of surprise, but he looked at Gu Xiaoyue, whose expression was the same as usual. He suddenly realized something and hurried to say, “Sorry about that.”

Gu Xiaoyue kept track of time very well. With the normal schedule of the first years, it was already past the time for the dormitories to be locked. Not everyone had the freedom to move around like Xiao Lin.

Gu Xiaoyue’s cool expression caused Xiao Lin to be unable to read her mood. She asked, “Are you finished?”

“I still have a little left.” There were still three notebooks by Xiao Lin’s right hand. After that, he let out a shocked expression. More than ten books to his left were all already read by him.

“Are these what I’ve read?”

Xiao Lin’s shock led Gu Xiaoyue to be speechless.
