Wang Ning choked, momentarily at a loss for words.
She suddenly thought of Wang Yi, who was even shorter than her, easily lifting seventy kilograms of luggage—oh, and could even carry Wang Ning along with it.
She also recalled those seemingly delicate heroines in Alice Girls’ Academy.
Each one looked weaker than the last.
But reality had given her a sharp slap.
She began to doubt whether she could really save them.
She was even weaker than they were.
Maybe this wasn’t just a game-like parallel world after all?
Wang Ning looked at Xiao.
She had originally thought Xiao would say something else.
Fortunately, Xiao seemed to have mentioned it casually.
After speaking, she brushed past Wang Ning and went into the bathroom.
Forget it.
One step at a time.
Nothing had really begun yet.
Everyone still had a chance.
Their fates would not follow the scripted tragedies shown in the original storyline.
The morning air was fresh and clean.
It carried the cool scent of grass and dew.
Wang Ning and Xiali walked along the path toward the classroom.
They chatted about the military training to come.
“Ahhh, can I just knock myself out and wake up a month later?” Xiali groaned.
Wang Ning completely understood.
She agreed with her a thousand percent.
Military training at Alice Academy wasn’t anything like what she’d experienced in her past life.
There were no simple drills or coordinated formations.
No cute parades or flower-shaped human arrangements.
Instead, there were simulated faction wars and real-time combat training.
Those with beast-bloodline enhancements had far stronger bodies than normal humans.
That also meant training was far more intense.
Pure-blood human weakling Wang Ning: I’m such a disgrace to humanity.
Class placements were based on entrance exam scores.
That left Wang Ning quite puzzled.
Her scores weren’t particularly high.
Yet she had been placed in Class A.
In fact, a question had long been buried in Wang Ning’s heart.
If this was a game world, why didn’t the game include the role of an “older sister”?
Yes.
In the game, Wang Yi didn’t have a sister.
Even when a death CG was triggered, the game never revealed who the [most important person] to her was.
At first, Wang Ning had assumed the sister was a hidden character.
But now, that didn’t seem quite right.
This “sister” character—herself—felt far too coincidental.
So coincidental, it was unsettling.
Almost as if she was created just for her to transmigrate into.
Regardless of her thoughts, class placement meant meeting new classmates.
The awkward part was inevitable.
Thankfully, her deskmate turned out to be Dormmate #3.
Her name was Boli An.
When Wang Ning saw her, she was slumped over the desk fast asleep.
It gave Wang Ning a strange sense of recognition.
Boli An had her face buried in her arms.
Her misty blue hair was tied into a stubby ponytail that stuck up.
This “sleep anywhere, anytime” attribute both amused Wang Ning and put her at ease.
Not needing to talk to anyone was ideal.
Especially for a social-anxious person like her.
“All right, everyone.”
“I’m your homeroom teacher, Louie.”
“Welcome to Alice Academy.”
“Everyone who’s gotten in here is a genius who fought their way through brutal competition.”
The teacher spoke sternly from the podium.
Deadweight Wang Ning: …
“I also know some of you only got in because of your background.”
“But make no mistake—background is a form of power too.”
“If you can survive here, then your background is your strength.”
Normal human Wang Ning: …
“Next, we’ll begin with a short test.”
“These are all very basic questions.”
“I’ll collect the papers afterward to evaluate your current level.”
The teacher pulled out a stack of papers with practiced ease.
Smoothly triggering her combo attack.
Wang Ning: !
Help!
She didn’t know how to solve this world’s test questions!
When she received the paper, her heart was filled with despair.
But to her surprise, she managed to complete the first half.
Thanks to fragments of the original host’s memory.
This made Wang Ning beam with pride.
Maybe she really was a genius!
But when she flipped to the second half…
Dense clusters of letters and diagrams crawled across the page like little worms.
Wang Ning’s head spun just looking at them.
She nearly broke down.
No, seriously—
Who includes “An Analysis of the Practicality of Digital Theories in Magical-Tech Engineering” on a high school exam?!
