This New Classmate Is No Simple Character
Su Qingci paced anxiously in the System Space.
[In this world, aside from a very few geniuses, everyone else awakens their Psychic Power around the age of twenty within Awakening Light Pillar light. And these Awakening Light Pillars are only found in top universities. I've transferred you to the best school and the best class, and even if someone tries to investigate you, they won't find anything.]
On the podium, homeroom teacher Li Tongchen greeted everyone with a smile, "Classmates, this is your new classmate, Wuma Xiu. From now on, you'll all be in the same class, so please look after each other."
After speaking, he turned to Wuma Xiu, his tone amiable:
"Xiu, please introduce yourself."
Standing on the podium, facing dozens of bright eyes below, Wuma Xiu felt as if he had returned to his school days. Back then, he also had many friends, but unfortunately, they all went their separate ways and gradually drifted apart.
Later, he died suddenly, and it's unknown how many of his classmates still remember him.
As he pondered, a gentle smile appeared on Wuma Xiu's face:
"Hello everyone, my name is Wuma Xiu. Nice to meet you all."
That's it, just that one sentence.
The students below were stunned for a moment.
They were expecting to hear about the transfer student's background, special talents, and why they were transferring at this time, but the other party simply gave their name without saying a single extra word.
However, this only piqued their curiosity further.
Someone muttered under their breath, "This personality... she looks really easy to bully."
Someone immediately poked him:
"Are you stupid? Anyone who can transfer in at this time can't be an easy character. Be careful."
Li Tongchen seemed surprised by the brevity of the introduction, but being a teacher, she quickly smoothed things over with a smile:
"Alright, alright, there's plenty of time. Xiu, please find a seat."
Wuma Xiu nodded, his gaze sweeping across the classroom.
He originally wanted to sit in the last row.
After all, the back row is by the window, in the hometown of the king.
This was a universally acknowledged auspicious location in the many novels, comics, and anime he had read.
The protagonist sits there, and the antagonist sits there.
All those stories about annulled engagements, rebirth, and the Dragon King's son-in-law—they're all sitting there. Since he's going to go back to school, he naturally has to choose a prestigious spot.
But when Wuma Xiu looked over, he found that someone was already sitting in that spot.
A white-haired boy.
The other person was wearing the same school uniform as everyone else, with their head down, making it impossible to see their expression. However, their aura was extremely cold, as if they carried their own air conditioning, leaving the surrounding seats empty.
The people around them spoke in hushed tones, and no one moved closer.
Wuma Xiu paused, letting out a silent "Huh?" in his mind.
This feeling is so similar to the protagonists in anime! And the hair is even white.
With that kind of charisma and presence, he could easily be the male lead in any comic book.
However, although the window seat was taken, the seat next to the other person was empty.
He picked up his schoolbag and walked over, then slammed it down on the empty table.
Regardless of whether others are afraid of him or not, he himself is not afraid.
There is no one in this world with a bigger connection than him.
The white-haired boy turned his head slightly, revealing a pair of emotionless eyes, and glanced at him indifferently.
Wuma Xiu also took the opportunity to look back.
The two people stared at each other for a moment, separated by half a table.
Then, Wuma Xiu pulled out a chair, sat down, took a book out of his bag, and casually opened it.
The white-haired boy didn't say anything, lowered his eyes again, and continued looking at his things.
My new deskmate is decided.
Seeing that Wuma Xiu had actually sat down and hadn't been kicked out, the surrounding classmates all showed expressions of surprise.
They first looked at the white-haired boy, then turned to look at Wuma Xiu, their eyes clearly saying, "This guy's got something."
In an instant, their impression of this new classmate subtly changed.
Perhaps the other party isn't as easy to bully as they seem.
The last person who tried to sit next to the other person shrank back into their seat after just one look from the other person, and didn't dare to look up for the entire class.
That guy's nickname in their class was "White Great Demon King".
Normally, let alone sitting next to someone at the same desk, no one dares to sit in the row in front of or behind.
Some classmates mentally gave Wuma Xiu a new label:
This new classmate is probably not simple.
Li Tongchen stood on the podium and tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention back to the classroom.
"Alright, everyone, focus. Besides welcoming the new students, I have an important announcement to make today. The Psychic Power Awakening Ceremony for this year is in a week."
"Next Monday morning at 8:00 AM, all graduating students will gather at the school's Awakening Plaza and enter the Awakening Light Pillar in order of their class."
"You've all seen the Awakening Light Pillar; it's the huge white pillar in the center of the plaza, which is usually closed. It will open next Monday. You'll walk in one by one, and the pillar will activate your Psychic Power."
"After awakening, Psychic Power will be measured on the spot according to level, from F level to SSS level."
"The awakening of Psychic Power will bring results to the vast majority of people."
"It's just a matter of different levels."
"Those who truly fail to awaken are extremely rare, one in a hundred. Of course, if the awakening level is too low, it doesn't mean there's no future at all. Psychic Power can be improved through cultivation, but there's a limit."
"So tomorrow, you all need to take it seriously. It's the first major turning point in your lives."
However, this statement is actually unnecessary for the students present.
After all, they are all carefully selected elites whose test scores far exceed those of their peers; how could their Psychic Power be low?
The process, level divisions, and precautions of the awakening ceremony have already been explained to me by my family members; I'm tired of hearing it.
"I'm sure everyone's heard these words a million times already."
Li Tongchen didn't keep anyone in suspense. He clicked a button on the side of the podium, and a semi-transparent light screen appeared in the center of the classroom.
On the light screen, eight large characters were prominently displayed.
--Divine Power Compatibility Assessment Ceremony.
Upon seeing these eight words, the privileged students below did not show much surprise.
Their families are all well-off, so they had naturally heard about this from their elders long ago.
Even so, a strange light still shone in their eyes at this moment.
The reason is simple: too many earth-shattering events have recently occurred within the Divine Realm.
First, the Gods of good and evil clashed fiercely, causing the heavens and earth to darken and the Sea of Stars to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, no fewer than a few Deities fell one after another.
Then came the event that shook the entire Universe.
--The God Kingdom was established, and the God King was born.
These students, who usually follow the Goddess of Beauty's social media accounts, are naturally very familiar with these secrets of the Divine Realm. When they see the words "Divine Power in harmony," they all perk up.
After all, who wouldn't want to have some connection with those high and Gods? That would be an unparalleled honor and opportunity.
That means their future will be immeasurable.
Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about immortality, something countless people dream of.
