Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God
Chapter 41: Questioning, Cheating
However, as more and more teachers joined the discussion, some sharp voices began to emerge.
"I don’t think this student could have achieved this score on his own!"
"There must be something else going on!"
"In my opinion, this student must have cheated!"
The other teachers also had their doubts, seeing how little time Zhang Yi had taken to clear the first three waves of Clan invasions. However, none of them dared to voice their suspicions so bluntly, expressing themselves in much more tactful ways.
Sure enough,
when Zhang Yi’s homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing, heard this, her anger instantly flared.
"Watch your mouth, Teacher Bai."
"Clean it up!"
"Just because your students can’t do it doesn’t mean mine can’t."
"Only losers gawk and say something is impossible. The people who can actually do it have already proven it with their actions."
Staring at the gaudily dressed Teacher Bai across from her, Guo Aiqing shot back without holding anything back.
This Teacher Bai was merely the niece of the first-year grade director.
Relying on her connections, she dressed so ostentatiously every day,
with no sense of professional decorum.
Guo Aiqing had long since grown tired of her antics.
Today, she didn’t hesitate to shut her down in front of all the other teachers,
and instantly, Guo Aiqing felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her. ’That felt good!’
"What did you just say? You bitch!"
"Who do you think you’re calling a bitch?"
"Let me tell you, I’ve seen plenty of teachers like you who act all prim and proper on the outside, but who knows how much of a slut you really are on the inside!"
Teacher Bai Qin’s foul mouth spewed shocking accusations!
As expected, Guo Aiqing immediately fired back.
"You f***ing—!"
Seeing the two teachers’ argument about to blow up,
the principal, Tang Weihua, who had been standing to the side, finally stepped in as he watched the situation escalate.
Principal Tang Weihua walked between the two quarreling teachers, his voice low and dignified:
"Enough!"
"This is an examination site. Please, both of you, show some self-respect!"
As soon as the principal spoke, Bai Qin and Guo Aiqing immediately stopped arguing, but the animosity between them was still palpable.
Principal Tang Weihua turned to Bai Qin and said sternly:
"Teacher Bai, your claims are baseless.
The Celestial Gaze Mirror itself is a Divine Artifact designed to prevent cheating, and it clearly records every change within each student’s Divine Realm.
If there was any cheating, the system would have immediately raised an alarm."
Bai Qin wanted to argue back, but seeing the principal had intervened,
she could only purse her lips and say grudgingly, "But a score like this is just too abnormal..."
"Abnormal is not the same as fraudulent," Principal Tang Weihua cut in.
"Innovation and breakthroughs are precisely the goals of our education.
If you have doubts about this score, you can file a formal application for the dean’s office to organize an investigation, instead of making irresponsible remarks here."
Bai Qin’s face flushed red, and she was at a loss for words.
Principal Tang Weihua then turned to Guo Aiqing:
"Teacher Guo, as a homeroom teacher, you should also maintain proper restraint in a public setting.
It’s fine to defend your student, but your methods must be appropriate."
Guo Aiqing nodded in apology. "My apologies, Principal."
"I just can’t accept someone slandering my student without any evidence."
"I understand how you feel." The principal smiled slightly, then said to all the teachers present,
"Everyone, our focus should be on the students’ performance, not on pointless arguments."
"However, since many teachers are puzzled by this student’s score,
I will use my authority as principal to replay the footage of this student’s exam, using the records from the Celestial Gaze Mirror!"
"This should put some teachers at ease!"
"Our examinations are absolutely fair and just!"
"Of course, during this process, if any teacher discovers evidence of cheating, they are welcome to point it out at any time."
"We welcome everyone’s scrutiny!"
"What do you think, Teacher Guo?"
"Let everyone be a witness. The innocent have nothing to hide!"
Principal Tang Weihua proposed his solution, then looked toward Guo Aiqing.
"I have no objection!"
Guo Aiqing’s agreement was swift,
which assuaged the doubts of many of the teachers.
What these teachers didn’t know was that the reason Guo Aiqing had agreed so quickly, completely unafraid of any surprises,
was because Principal Tang Weihua was her uncle.
’An uncle would never set up his own niece, would he?’
"Now, I will have the Celestial Gaze Mirror call up the footage of this student’s Divine Realm during the first three invasion waves!"
The teachers all nodded, their attention returning to the Celestial Gaze Mirror.
Soon, the Celestial Gaze Mirror displayed footage of Zhang Yi facing the first three waves of invading Clans.
In the image, Zhang Yi’s Wood Elf Corps had arranged themselves in formation.
With their backs to the Dawn Forest, the Wood Elf Corps formed a crescent-shaped battle line.
The front rank of Wood Elf Warriors held shields to form a defensive line, the middle rank of Archers stood ready, and the rear rank of Natural Elf Casters stood on slightly higher ground with a clear field of view.
"It’s clearly a Wood Elf Clan, so why are there other Elves in the back?" a teacher asked in surprise.
One of the teachers who had witnessed Zhang Yi’s divine battle against Li Boyang whispered an explanation to him.
"Look at the equipment on these Wood Elves—it’s all high-quality Iron Weapons!"
"And those Archers aren’t using ordinary Bows and Arrows, either!" another teacher with extensive knowledge of Divine Realms commented.
The Celestial Gaze Mirror showed the first invading Clan: a group of about fifty Lizardman infantry, poorly equipped with only leather armor and Wooden Spears.
Feiyana raised her Long Sword and gave the order: "All Wood Elf Archers, take aim!"
Sixty Wood Elf Archers drew their bows simultaneously, awaiting the command.
When the Lizardmen entered range, Feiyana shouted, "Fire!"
A rain of arrows poured down like a storm, and the first volley took down more than half of the Lizardmen.
The remaining enemies continued to charge, but a second volley rained down, killing most of them.
In the end, after two volleys of arrows, only a handful of Lizardmen were left alive.
Then, a few Wood Elf Divine Archers with good aim easily picked off the remaining few. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
The entire process took no more than three minutes, with no casualties on the Wood Elf side.
"Incredible!" a teacher couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this, Teacher Bai, the one who had accused Zhang Yi of cheating, began to look pale.
The second invasion wave consisted of more powerful Kobold Warriors. They were smarter than the Lizardmen and knew how to use shields to block arrows.
There were also more of them—one hundred in total.
However, Feiyana didn’t change her strategy. She simply ordered the Wood Elves to prepare another volley.
When the Kobolds came within 300 meters of the Wood Elf Corps,
the Iron Arrows from the Wood Elf Archers easily pierced the Kobolds’ crude shields.
With just two volleys of arrows, the Kobolds, who had managed to get closer than the Lizardmen had, were instantly killed. The entire force was wiped out!
