Master of Kaidan-Chapter 542

"Well, gosh, I wasn’t blown away by the storm, but I almost lost it because of singing!"

After the flag-raising ceremony, Feng Xue followed her class back, her face showing a bit of fear since she had realized during the ceremony—

She didn’t know the national anthem of this world.

Okay, although it was a bit absurd, it was high school after all, not a singing competition. It was normal to be a beat or two off, and Feng Xue managed to sing the song relying on her Circle Realm + body control abilities.

Though her rhythm was scattered, at least she didn’t get singled out as an example.

"This really is a minefield everywhere... oh, no, this minefield is just for me since players of this world should still know the national anthem."

Feng Xue murmured, but she had already entered the academic building. Before going upstairs, she glanced at the classroom for the seniors and saw the rather outrageous banners still hanging there with their "elements" clearly visible.

"It seems they don’t just turn into phantoms at night, but why doesn’t the junior year have them? Because they don’t have to prepare for exams?" When she got back to her third-grade classroom, Feng Xue glanced at the banner hanging at the back of the classroom, which read the very ordinary "Study hard, progress daily", and inadvertently a pack of salt popped into her hand.

"What are you doing with a pack of salt?" Just then, a voice inquired beside her, causing Feng Xue to almost toss the salt out in surprise.

However, she forcefully suppressed this dangerous thought with her willpower since, after all, the classroom is no place to litter, and there shouldn’t be trash in the trash can.

Her brain whirred, and Feng Xue turned to her deskmate and said helplessly:

"I was actually trying to grab a piece of bread, but I picked this up by mistake."

"The weight difference is too much, isn’t it?" her deskmate teased with a smile, and Feng Xue was somewhat surprised.

"What’s with that expression? Even I joke around!" Seeing Feng Xue’s reaction, her deskmate’s face stiffened, and Feng Xue quickly shook her head:

"It’s nothing, really. I’m just dreading eating in the cafeteria today."

"That is indeed a headache." Her deskmate nodded in agreement, but their conversation ended there as the bell for the first class rang.

The class was uneventful; whether the players had all died or those who had survived had adapted to the rhythm of the game, the environment seemed pretty okay to Feng Xue.

"I wish I had these powers when I was studying." Bored and leaning back in her chair, Feng Xue glanced out the window at students having a PE class. They seemed to be first-years, especially since their PE teacher hadn’t even had a chance to get acquainted with the students before falling ill the day before.

"Feng Xue! Come up here and solve this problem!"

All of a sudden, the teacher called out Feng Xue’s name loudly. Looking at the problem on the blackboard, Feng Xue’s expression darkened a bit, but she quickly walked up.

As a Grandmaster, being aware of everything around her was a basic skill. After quickly solving the problem, the teacher frowned and said:

"Let it pass this time, but pay attention during class!"

Listening to these words, which sounded genuinely like a normal lesson, Feng Xue felt a bit strange inside because it seemed like... neither these teachers nor the students realized they were ghosts?

"Hold on, not to mention anything else, how could those strange species exposed by the combined science test paper after yesterday’s exam not know..."

At this point, Feng Xue suddenly stuttered because he had finally realized the dissonance—

Whether it was being flattened into a ground stall, directly dissolved, or the various classmates who soared to the sky or burrowed into the earth, today they were all normal.

Except for one person.

"Lin Shu is not here. It looks like he really was eliminated due to cheating in the exams, but everyone else who behaved oddly has recovered. Does that mean the Phantom Transformation is no longer effective?"

Feng Xue thought of those test papers and a sense of foreboding arose in him. This premonition turned into reality during the break after the fourth class—

The class teacher walked into the classroom with steps full of oppression, holding a large stack of test papers in his hand. His expression was serious and his gaze sharp. After scanning the room and suppressing the noise from the students due to the school break, he spoke:

"Classmates, honestly speaking, everyone did quite poorly this time. The questions were all very simple, yet the average grade was barely passable. However, I would like to commend Liu Yuqian and Feng Xue for significantly raising our class’s average score. Alright, those whose names I call, come up and collect your test papers, starting with the last in the ranking—Qin Jian! You really are consistent!"

Listening to the class teacher calling out the names of the poorer students with an evident tone of sarcasm, Feng Xue’s expression was rapidly changing because in his eyes, these test papers showed no signs of any "elements."

"All true objects? How can that be?"

"Feng Xue!"

Hearing the teacher call his name, Feng Xue immediately suppressed the complex thoughts in his mind and walked to the podium. As he took the five test papers with both hands, the class teacher finally showed a smile and said:

"This time you did well, except for some points deducted on the natural sciences paper. A few teachers looked it over; they said your process was fine but you forgot to compute the constant. At our school, you need to calculate constants. Try harder next time..."

After expressing his gratitude to the slightly regretful class teacher, Feng Xue held the test papers and returned to his desk, flipping through them with a more relaxed expression.

What he feared most was that these test papers had been subjected to a "Phantom Transformation Removal," as that would have touched upon his areas of ignorance, but now it seemed it was just transcription.

"Is copying really necessary?"

Looking at the test papers in his hands, Feng Xue pondered the implication behind this. Each word on the papers matched his handwriting exactly. If it wasn’t for the Expensive Steel Pen that had gained special properties after advancing to Star Lord through the pen spirit, he might not have even been able to tell that this wasn’t the initial test paper he answered.

"This level of disguise is clearly not a mere process. It probably contains some necessity."

Feng Xue took out the natural sciences paper, confirming that it was indeed a copy of the paper he had modified, and his curiosity grew.

In a school where Phantom Transformation test papers could be printed at will, why bother replacing them with copies? free𝑤ebnovel.com

He could think of only two possibilities—

First, the generation of test papers itself followed some cyclical rule, rather than being produced infinitely, and used test papers needed to be recycled to print new ones.

Second, the answered test papers themselves might be what this Ghost School required.

"If it’s the former, that’s one thing, but if it’s the latter..."

Feng Xue’s gaze swept over his classmates, and thinking about his previous speculation, he couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile—

"I’ve caught your tail!"
