The First Special Exam
The next morning, school proceeded as usual. In the morning, we had academic courses like calculus and chemistry, while in the afternoon, we had cultivation time in the special mana-filled room from yesterday. The same process occurred for the whole week, without any major incidents.
Liu Jian didn't make any moves just yet, but Mei Gui and I did notice that Ms. Cai continued to observe us whenever we sat in the cultivation chamber. It was quite annoying, frankly, but there was not much I could do about it other than just grit my teeth and endure, pretending she wasn't there.
By the time Friday rolled around, I was starting to get comfortable in this school. Slowly familiarizing myself with the layout and hallways, slowly getting to know the names of my classmates and even some students from other classes. I didn't interact with them much, but from what I could see, they didn't like me very much. It seems that jealousy was truly everywhere.
