• Beixing showed Qi Yue his malformed hand and explained that his Esper Ability caused nearby Esper Ability Users to melt or suffer mental problems.

• Qi Yue continued Class F’s sparring matches after confirming that he had an Esper Ability but still not knowing how to use it.

• Qi Yue exchanged 6,000 manga popularity points for 60 forum points and opened a featured thread about his transfer to the Seventh Hunter Academy.

The exchange students chose class A, leaving Qi Yue and Beixing to continue their training in class F.

• Qi Yue noticed Attas approaching and warned him by calling him “the student with yellow hair,” silencing the cafeteria.

Qi Yue warned Attas Flint to keep his distance, then used his ability to incapacitate him when Attas attacked. The academy infirmary treated Attas, who was expected to remain unconscious until the exchange period ended, while Li Qin and Yu Kaicheng began discussing the incident.

• Attas Flint approached Qi Yue, who mocked him and warned him not to come closer if he did not want to die.
• Attas ignored Qi Yue's warning and launched flames at him, but convulsive pain struck Attas before his attack could reach Qi Yue.

• Yu Kaicheng suspected Qi Yue had deliberately incapacitated Atas to keep him from discovering the truth, and Li Qin agreed.
• Li Qin told Yu Kaicheng to deny that Atas belonged to the First Hunter Academy and to keep his belongings safe until the exchange ended.
• Yu Kaicheng told the other exchange students that Atas had skipped classes to drink and have fun, and arranged for alcohol to be put on his collar.
• Atas woke on the bus and learned that the exchange period was over and he had been unconscious for six days.
• Atas remembered Qi Yue shielding Beixing, rejected the idea that Beixing had caused his condition, and wondered whether Qi Yue’s ability was connected to Beixing’s contamination.

Atas blamed the shattered ability crystal ball on the white-haired boy after deciding he was stronger than an S-rank ability user. Back at Seventh Hunter Academy, Qi Yue focused on studying and winning over his teachers, then fended off homeroom teacher Liao Yuanliang’s questions about why he had not given him a gift by claiming his ability was too dangerous to use.

• Atas failed to uncover the truth about the crystal ball and decided to blame the white-haired boy, who was in F class.
• Qi Yue learned that Atas was an exchange student from Sixth Hunter Academy and that his cafeteria incident had not led to an investigation or a panel judgment.
• Qi Yue committed to advancing to E class through the monthly assessment and intensified his training and studies.

• Qi Yue stayed silent when Liao Yuanliang probed his ability, then gave him enchanted glasses and left with the dissection records.
• After Qi Yue was gone, the teachers discussed his similarity to Beixing and wondered whether Dean Zong might recruit him.

• Atas refused to accuse Qi Yue without evidence and admitted he had lost consciousness on the day he entered the Seventh Hunter Academy.
• Atas recounted the Class F cafeteria incident and explained that he had returned to the First Hunter Academy after regaining consciousness on the bus.

Atas returned from the Seventh Hunter Academy unable to identify the boy who defeated him, while Zong Qizheng blamed Beixing and planned to eliminate him during the Monthly Assessment. Atas questioned Xiao Yiyuan’s loyalty, and Qi Yue welcomed Beixing to his dormitory by making him study gruesome dissection records.

• Zong Qizheng dismissed Atas after concluding that Beixing had used his Esper Ability to make him fall asleep, and he resolved to deal with Beixing during the Monthly Assessment.
• Atas told Xiao Yiyuan that the unnamed white-haired, red-eyed boy had the strength to back up his attitude, then asked whether Xiao would still wait for him if he were not a Flint.

• Beixing asked whether students spent private time together by studying, and Qi Yue told him they did as Beixing began reading.

• Li Qin asked Beixing to leave so he could speak with Qi Yue privately, and Qi Yue sent Beixing away with the textbook he had been avoiding.

Dean Li introduced Qi Yue to Lu Zhaobei, a Class A student, hoping they would become friends, while Qi Yue cautiously assessed the unfamiliar boy. Their handshake produced no unusual reaction, leaving Qi Yue without the response he had been testing for.

• Beixing left Qi Yue's dorm room after Dean Li sent him away.
• Qi Yue challenged Dean Li about Beixing's departure, and Dean Li explained that Beixing could never leave Class F.

• In the real world, Chu Yun read the extended comic chapter and enjoyed the barrage comments as Qi Yue defeated Attas and protected Beixing.
