Chapter 59 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 059: She Wouldn't Understand As soon as Nan Yin and her friends stepped out of the car, they sensed that something was different at Roland High School today. It was supposed to be time for morning self-study, but surprisingly, students were wandering both inside and outside the school. More mystifyingly, a crowd donned in Roland High School's senior uniform had gathered at the school gate, their activities unknown. "Is there an event today?" Nan Yin asked, intrigued by the unusual atmosphere of the high school. Jiang Mi being proactive acted swiftly. Upon hearing Nan Yin's doubts, she stepped forth, "Boss, wait here. I will find out." With that, the orange-haired girl dashed into the crowd, leaving Nan Yin without a chance to stop her. "Jiang Mi sure is full of energy today." Xia Yi Yi picked up the backpack that Jiang Mi had left behind, her large eyes blinking. "When has she ever not been so spirited? That would be unusual," Nan Yin said with a sigh, holding Xia Yi Yi's hand. A while ago, Nan Yin proceeded to carry out her mission only after inquiring from Can Yin. She wished to approach a person, who despite being an antagonist, played a crucial role in the primary storyline. Her target was someone soon to show up at Roland High School. However, to her surprise, as soon as they arrived, the school entrance was teeming with students, leaving her clueless about this unexpected situation. Two or three minutes later, Jiang Mi emerged from the crowd, her vibrant orange hair impossible to miss. She briskly pushed past a boy blocking her way and soon reached Nan Yin. However, her expression seemed a bit off. "Jiang Mi, what’s wrong?" Nan Yin asked, frowning at her troubled face. "Erm, boss, I have found out," Jiang Mi scratched her head, "In three days, our high school will carry out an internal supernatural ability test. These students gathered here are signing up.” A supernatural ability test? Nan Yin was slightly taken aback but then, a feeling, intense yet hard to describe, surged from her soul and rushed into her brain. "Cough...cough..." Nan Yin concealed her momentary discomfort by discreetly placing her hand on her chest. "So, it is the supernatural ability test. Make sure to register Yi Yi for it." Jiang Mi noticed Nan Yin's unwell state due to her vantage point. Just as she was about to voice her concerns, Nan Yin silenced her with a gesture. "What are you two talking about?" Xia Yi Yi asked curiously. "Oh, nothing. Just that our high school's supernatural ability test is in three days. Yi Yi, remember to sign up." Nan Yin said with a smile, pinching Xia Yi Yi's cheek. "Why won't Xiao Yin accompany me? I want Xiao Yin to accompany me..." Xia Yi Yi pouted. "Huh? Does that mean I, Jiang Mi, am not considered a person?" Jiang Mi was displeased and roughed up Xia Yi Yi's hair. "That's not what I meant..." Xia Yi Yi mumbled. "What do you mean it's not the same thing? You..." "Alright, alright." Nan Yin chuckled at the squabbling duo. She then turned to Xia Yi Yi and said, "If you want to be with me, then let's go together. You can ask Jiang Mi to register us." Despite knowing the result, Nan Yin wanted to test the limits of her capabilities. After all, the testing was free. There were no specific identity requirements for this kind of public welfare-level test. The test hosted by Roland High School only had an age restriction to deter parents from causing chaos rather than students. "Um...okay..." Finally satisfied, Xia Yi Yi nodded, and an irritated Jiang Mi took her discarded bag from her. Soon after Nan Yin and Xia Yi Yi separated from Jiang Mi, they each headed to their own classrooms. As soon as she was out of Jiang Mi and Xia Yi Yi's line of sight, Nan Yin discreetly took out a tiny bottle from inside her uniform and swallowed two green pills. Observing this action, Xia Yi Yi looked at her friend curiously. On the way, Xia Yi Yi had noticed Nan Yin seeming distracted, and was about to ask what was wrong when Nan Yin beat her to it, "What’s wrong, Yi Yi, why do you look distracted?" "Shouldn't I be asking you that question, Xiao Yin?" Xia Yi Yi tilted her head. "Why are you preoccupied, Xiao Yin?" "It's nothing." Nan Yin shook her head, not wanting to delve into that topic. "Um..." Xia Yi Yi pressed her finger to her lips, then changed the subject: "What were those pills you took, Xiao Yin? Can you tell me?" "Oh... those pills?" Xiao Yin responded, apparently prepared for this question, "I have a heart condition and I’ve been taking that medicine since I was a child." "A heart condition?" Xia Yi Yi looked at Nan Yin's chest, then pursed her lips, saying no more. Nan Yin's original heart had been transplanted to Nan Xi because Nan Xi’s heart from birth was a poor one, hence the donation was deemed as Nan Yin’s duty as an adopted daughter. From the year she turned nine, Nan Yin, barely surviving on a prosthetic heart post the transplantation, began experiencing health issues from then on. Although she had been carrying this bottle of medicine with her, she only took it when severe emotional changes risked her heart condition. For instance, during a previous mission with Fuhu Zhengsi, her heart had experienced complications. Had Jiang Mi not been there to rescue her, Nan Yin feared that she might have died for the second time already. "Actually, when you asked why I seemed distracted..." Nan Yin seemed hesitant, but eventually chose to address it, "I was worried about the supernatural ability test." "Why would Xiao Yin worry about the supernatural ability test?" Xia Yi Yi was puzzled. She looked at Xiao Yin, awaiting her explanation. "I wonder, if Yi Yi's supernatural talent is high and mine... is quite average, what do we do?" Nan Yin looked over at the bustling crowd and expressed her concerns. "Why would Xiao Yin think that... Xiao Xi's supernatural talent is extraordinary? You might not necessarily be mediocre, right?" Xia Yi Yi was confused. Isn't the result of the supernatural ability test unknown until tested? It's all a game of chance. So why did Xiao Yin seem so confident of the results? "Just anxious, that's all... Let's get going." Xiao Yin looked into Xia Yi Yi's clear eyes, smiled but chose not to continue the conversation. After all, she wouldn't understand.
