Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 275 - 269: Could Silver Horn Really Be a Genius? (Two-in-One)

"Students, the foundational theory of the Dark Attribute is comparatively more abstract and difficult to grasp than the theories of other Transcendent Attributes," said a middle-aged man standing at the podium as the class bell rang.

"Dark, in our common understanding, is the night that falls after the sunset, the gloom in one's heart, or the shadows that can be found everywhere in life, but its essence is actually..."

Qin Chuan sat in his seat, listening to the middle-aged man's lecture, his expression gradually becoming serious.

In the last two months of their high school, there were lessons taught on the theories of all twelve Transcendent Attributes, but two months was only enough to cover the basics.

Even these basics varied depending on what was covered in high school. For example, there was more content on the Thunder Attribute because high school included quite a bit of electromagnetism, resulting in longer lecture times, whereas Aerodynamics, which was barely touched upon in high school, meant the Wind Attribute lectures were much shorter, only spanning a day or two.

Therefore, compared to the Water and Ice Attributes, Qin Chuan understood the least about the Dark Attribute.

He could not optimize or adjust the skills and powers of the Dark Attribute; in the past, he could only directly utilize Silver Horn's abilities in battle.

The Dark Attribute, also barely covered in high school, was in essence somewhat related to antimatter but not entirely antimatter. It also included elements that current scientific theories could not explain and were understood abstractly for the time being.

Let alone high school, these ideas were already beyond the scope of what typical university students learned.

A few minutes later, Qin Chuan admitted defeat and realized that he was not the only one feeling lost.

Elbow nudged by the cap of a pen, Qin Chuan turned his head to look at the girl beside him.

"I'll explain it to you after class," Lin Yue whispered with a lowered voice, then seriously turned her attention back to the podium. This was a class that even she had to focus on intently.

"Okay," Qin Chuan replied with a smile.

After getting to know each other, the time they spent together was not limited to just the class time; naturally, Lin Yue no longer had to pass notes to him occasionally to help her study as she had before.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a study session with little Teacher Lin after class?

A few more minutes passed, and Qin Chuan felt like he couldn't understand a single word of what the teacher was lecturing anymore. He gave up, rested his hand under his chin, and turned his head to look at Lin Yue beside him, his eyes carrying an undisguised warmth.

Lin Yue obviously sensed Qin Chuan's gaze, gave him an annoyed look, then turned back to listen carefully to the lecture, though her lips curved up slightly.

"Stop staring at me!"

The girl's voice rose with a hint of coquettish annoyance, earning an overfull expression from Zheng Xiaoyu sitting behind them and prompting Qin Chuan to withdraw his gaze with a laugh.

As he glanced forward at the textbook he'd been flipping through aimlessly, a thought suddenly came into his mind, making his expression tighten slightly.

"It's time to turn the page."

That was a message from Silver Horn.

Qin Chuan instinctively flipped to the next page, then looked at the teacher on the podium.

Although he couldn't understand the content of the lecture, he at least knew which page the teacher was discussing.

Silver Horn was correct; the teacher had indeed moved on to the next page.

So... had Silver Horn been listening this entire time from the beginning of the class?

"Did you understand it?" Qin Chuan asked mentally, his heart beating a bit faster.

"I can understand all of it!"

Silver Horn replied, its voice even carrying a sense of matter-of-factness.

Qin Chuan rubbed his temples.

He'd said before that Silver Horn had always been smart, but that was just a casual comment.

Could it actually be a genius?!

Oh no!

If there were two study buffs in the family, it would make the other members seem rather dumb!

-----------------

"You're saying Silver Horn might have understood?"

During the break, Lin Yue blinked in surprise.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer from Qin Chuan, Lin Yue's face lit up with interest.

She pondered for a moment and then brightened, "I have a theory."

"It might have something to do with the starting point from which the teacher imparts knowledge."

"How so?" Qin Chuan became curious.

"The Dark Attribute is mainly about knowledge we've never encountered before," Lin Yue quietly began, "which means the teacher has to start from scratch, which is better suited for Spiritual Beasts who have no previous foundation."

"When explaining some common Attributes, the teacher may skip over some of the basics, but these are exactly what Spiritual Beasts lack."

"I see," Qin Chuan's expression changed, "I remember the Wind Attribute lectures also started from scratch. Does that mean Xiaoqing might also..."

"Of course, individual factors are also important," Lin Yue said with a smile, spreading her hands, "Xiaoqing didn't understand either."

In an instant, Lin Yue's mind filled with Xiaoqing's hesitant thoughts, such as "These messy symbols are too hard to understand" and "I can't even count that high," which made the smile in her eyes intensify.

Qin Chuan suddenly realized.

Indeed, Silver Horn was a genius.

In the half-class that had just passed, it hadn't expressed any confusion, only occasionally reminding Qin Chuan to turn the page.

"Chirp chirp."

Lin Yue quickly scribbled down a problem related to the Dark Attribute on a piece of scratch paper and passed it to Qin Chuan, "Shall we let Silver Horn try?"

No sooner had Qin Chuan read the problem than Silver Horn's thought echoed in his mind.

He wrote down the answer according to Silver Horn's thought, and when Lin Yue leaned in to look, a smile spread across her face, "It really understood!"

"Looks like I can slack off, huh?"

Qin Chuan exclaimed with delight, eliciting a look of disdain from the girl beside him.

"Alright, but you still need to study hard for the Water and Ice Attributes," said Lin Yue after a pause, "and don't forget the Fighting type."
