Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 52 Deliberate

Huo Xuan led them in a dynamic rope hoop game. After explaining the rules, the sixty people were divided into four groups of twenty people each, forming a circle. Each person held onto the rope hoop, and one person would walk around the hoop to test their balance and teamwork.

Chu Deng played games with the people in her row and the other four rows, including Jin Xiaoyue, Meng Qiuhe, Pei Hanxing, Tu Leqi, Zhang Mengmeng, and Tang Zhen, the sports committee member of the class who didn't get along with Chu Deng.

Chu Deng was the first to stand up. Since Huo Xuan had promised to put pressure on Chu Deng, he certainly wouldn't let her off the hook.

While others need two people to protect them on either side when walking the rope circle, Chu Deng doesn't need that. With him, the wind-element instructor, watching over him, no one will fall.

"Chu Deng, do your best," Huo Xuan said with a smile.

Chu Deng glanced at him, sensing that his smile was malicious, but she was indifferent to revealing her identity as a superhuman at the moment.

For the past eight years, she had wanted to understand the world of superpowers, but she was computer illiterate and had no way of knowing how. She was also afraid of being exposed, so she didn't openly investigate. She wanted to secretly check the black market or something, but with her parents watching and her studies weighing on her, Chu Deng gradually gave up.

The higher-ups are now so blatant in their valuing of superhumans that it's appropriate for Chu Deng to reveal himself naturally. However, Chu Deng needs to prepare carefully and conceal his level.

Otherwise, an eighteen-year-old level five powerhouse, whom Chu Deng had never seen even in the apocalypse, would probably scare the superpowered individuals here to death.

"What? Do you need me to help you up?" Huo Xuan asked.

"No need." After Chu Deng finished speaking, he stepped onto the stool next to him. After everyone tightened the rope loops, he stepped on with his right foot first, and then placed his left foot on top of it after he had firmly planted his foot.

This steel wire rope loop is only slightly thinner than the hemp rope used in tug-of-war. It's more like a steel rope than a steel wire, and it won't easily deform when a person stands on it.

Chu Deng stepped over Jin Xiaoyue's arm, onto another section of steel cable, and then over Pei Hanxing and Meng Qiuhe.

When she put all her weight on the steel cable, Meng Qiuhe, who thought he would be crushed, tensed the muscles in his arms, but found that he was not tired at all. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Chu Deng walked leisurely on the steel cable as if on flat ground. Even without anyone protecting her on either side, she steadily circled around and crossed the cable. Her body did not sway uncontrollably at high altitudes. Her relaxed appearance made Meng Qiuhe feel that this game was not difficult at all.

The change happened in an instant. Just as Chu Deng was about to reach the end, Tang Zhen, who was fourth from the bottom, suddenly trembled as he gripped the wire and let go of it when Chu Deng stepped on it. The people on either side of Tang Zhen were so frightened that they also let go of their grip.

Chu Deng's eyes turned cold, and she realized that this was a good opportunity. So she pretended to fall without warning. Half a meter of fall would only result in a scrape, which the infirmary could treat in half a day. But Chu Deng needed three days. So she adjusted her posture when she fell, so that her joints landed unevenly.

The instant Chu Deng fell, Huo Xuan raised his hand and summoned a gust of wind to gently support her, reducing the danger of her fall, and then calmly placed her on the ground.

Chu Deng realized Huo Xuan's good intentions, but she was destined to disappoint her instructor.

With a crisp "crack" from the joint, Chu Deng's ankle was stuck to the ground in an awkward position, startling Jin Xiaoyue who rushed over.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, you're too heavy!" Tang Zhen's face turned pale as she apologized while subtly mocking Chu Deng.

Jin Xiaoyue's temper flared up immediately: "What nonsense are you talking about! Dengdeng wasn't hurt at all. You're just jealous of Dengdeng and deliberately hurt her!"

Tang Zhen, her eyes brimming with tears, cried out, "I didn't!"

"I think you're just bluffing! Everyone else could handle it, and even the weaker girls didn't hurt anyone, but you're the one who got hurt, and you're the sports committee member, tsk tsk tsk..." Meng Qiuhe clicked his tongue, his sarcasm reaching its peak.

"Alright, stop arguing. Pei Hanxing, keep the team in check," Huo Xuan instructed.

Huo Xuan frowned as he looked at Chu Deng, whose face was pale, and wondered to himself, "This shouldn't be happening."

But before he could think too much, he quickly called the medical team to save his potential.

The medical staff were in a hurry to leave from the platform, but were stopped by their superiors. Qi Miao picked up the first aid kit and said, "Alright, you guys sit down. I'm going out for a walk to clear my head."

Everyone sat down to drink tea. With Director Qi's help, even those chosen by the King of Hell could be brought back, leaving them with nothing to do.

"Team Leader Qi!" Huo Xuan saluted, never expecting that a single sentence from him would prompt a Level 3 Light-type Ability User to personally come forward.

"Hmm." Qi Miao looked around the scene and could tell at a glance that Chu Deng's injury was not serious, at most it was just a sprain.

Qi Miao didn't care. She took out a box of black ointment from the first aid kit, immobilized Chu Deng's ankle, and applied the black ointment to Chu Deng's twisted ankle. In fact, while applying the ointment, she used her fingers to gradually infuse light energy to repair the wound.

As soon as the warm and comfortable light energy entered, Chu Deng felt comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring after a long day.

Chu Deng tried her best not to show it, but looked up at Qi Miaoke and said, "Doctor, this medicine works really fast. I wonder what brand it is. I'd like to keep some on hand."

"Ah, this is a new drug from Jinshi Pharmaceuticals, currently only supplied to the military." Qi Miaoke lied to the child without changing her expression. This drug was just ordinary face cream with harmless black dye added to help her conceal her supernatural abilities.

She wasn't wrong; Jinshi Pharmaceuticals did indeed cooperate with their military, but it was for medical pods and some fast-acting drugs, not this secret medicine that was exclusively hers.

Jin Xiaoyue looked over with a puzzled expression, her gaze falling on the box of black plasters. Jinshi Pharmaceutical was her family's business.

As far as she knew, all medicines produced by the Jin family had to be certified before they could be sold. Even those specially supplied had to be accompanied by anti-counterfeiting certificates. The black ointment box that Qimiao was holding had nothing on it, making it look like a completely unregistered product. It couldn't possibly be produced by Jinshi Pharmaceutical.

Even Jin Xiaoyue knew something was wrong, and Chu Deng, as the one being treated, naturally felt it even more deeply. But she pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Instead, she stood up and jumped around a couple of times, then pointed at Tang Zhen: "He's injured too."

Qi Miaoke said "Oh," beckoned the person over, and tossed a box of genuine Jinshi Pharmaceutical plaster to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen gritted her teeth inwardly. What did this mean? He personally applied the medicine to Chu Deng, but when it came to her, he just threw away a box of medicine like he was a beggar?

Qi Miao didn't care what he was thinking and slowly returned to the high platform on the playground.

Fortunately, Huo Xuan handled the situation well, allowing everyone to rest for a while and reassuring the students before ending today's training without putting too much pressure on them.

Chu Deng failed to get leave by faking a fall, so she simply waited until nightfall and quietly left the school. She had something to do that night.

About Feng Xuedie, about Jin Xiaoyue, and about herself.
