I'll Be the First to Step Forward and Become Cannon Fodder

After class, Du Qiangwei and Qilin walked out of the classroom together. The two stunning beauties side by side triggered a wave of wolf whistles. Even though Du Qiangwei had beaten them half to death a few days ago, it still couldn't stop their love of beauty!

When Wei Zitong walked out of the classroom, he was met with a whole wave of starry-eyed looks from girls in other classes. Wei Zitong had a very pleasing appearance, and lately he had always acted like a diligent student focused on studying, winning himself a huge number of fans.

This was all normal, and neither side found it strange. However, when Qilin waved at Wei Zitong, sparks immediately flew. The boys glared at Wei Zitong, while the girls resented Qilin and Du Qiangwei beside her.

Ge Xiaolun and the others were among the boys glaring at Wei Zitong. Ge Xiaolun in particular had found Wei Zitong increasingly irritating lately, because Du Qiangwei always deliberately or inadvertently approached Wei Zitong. Even though they traded barbs whenever they met, he still felt annoyed. Why didn't Du Qiangwei trade barbs with him, Ge Xiaolun? Well, it would be even better if they traded kisses instead...

Lost in wild thoughts, Ge Xiaolun suddenly saw Du Qiangwei turn her gaze toward him and froze for a moment. So beautiful. She's looking at me, she's looking at me!

But Du Qiangwei ignored Ge Xiaolun's idiotic stare and said flatly, "Don't forget what you said in the auditorium a few days ago."

She actually spoke to me first! Ge Xiaolun instantly felt his blood surge. He straightened his back and nodded forcefully. "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Zhao Xin and the others looked at Ge Xiaolun as if he were an idiot. Being cannon fodder could make someone this fired up? Ge Xiaolun was the first!

On the morning the Goddess was due to arrive, the central square of Super Seminary was bustling. Quite a few students from the regular classes had come as well.

"Say, Xiaolun, are you really going to be the first to challenge the Goddess?" Zhao Xin asked as they walked.

"Yep!" Ge Xiaolun looked especially spirited today, and even spoke with confidence. "This is a man's promise!"

"The question is, does she even see you as a man?" Zhao Xin said indignantly.

"She sees you as cannon fodder!" Cheng Yaowen added, then pointed. "Hey, look, Qiangwei and Zi Tong are standing together!"

Following Cheng Yaowen's gaze, Ge Xiaolun indeed saw Wei Zitong standing beside Du Qiangwei and Qilin. The three chatted and laughed together, looking very familiar with one another. Ge Xiaolun's heart immediately suffered 10,000 points of critical damage!

Yet whenever Du Qiangwei's gaze casually swept over him, he would perk up again. She's testing me. Yes, that must be it, Ge Xiaolun thought.

In truth, Du Qiangwei's glances held no such meaning. She had merely brought up Ge Xiaolun while talking to Wei Zitong. "Say, is it really reliable to let him take the lead? Won't he chicken out after one move?"

"Relax, relax!" Wei Zitong waved his hand. He knew what Lena's arrival would look like. Perhaps, maybe, probably it would be as he imagined...

Still, he wasn't entirely sure. Developments in the real world had left him somewhat confused, and he couldn't determine whether things were truly as he expected. That was why he had come to see for himself. Otherwise, he would not even have bothered coming. He barely had enough time to read as it was, so why would he waste time watching?

Besides, he knew how awkward Lena's arrival would be. Everyone who came to watch would be brutally tormented by Lena. Even the two girls beside him would not escape. Perhaps only the regular-class students and Ryze the Wanderer would be spared...

Seeing the faintly flickering Blue Light on the platform in the center of the square, everyone gasped in amazement.

Ryze the Wanderer stood on the platform, waving his arms as he spoke with great emotion. "Students, this will be a summoning lesson, demonstrating what natural science integrated into the genes of the body truly is. That is—magic!"

Wei Zitong curled his lip. That old monster Ryze the Wanderer always loved making a mystery out of things. It was obviously science, yet he insisted on turning it into magic.

"Are you all ready to have your eyes opened? A great Goddess as dazzling as the blazing sun is about to blind every one of you!" Ryze the Wanderer said, frightening quite a few regular-class students. Even Wuji Yi nervously retreated several steps.

"She is real, and beyond your imagination, beyond your comprehension..." Ryze the Wanderer was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and wanted to raise his voice further to heighten the atmosphere. But at the highest note, he lost his breath. His eyes widened, yet no words came out.

After a while, he finally recovered and shook his head awkwardly. "Uh... Goddess..."

"Pfft!" Wei Zitong burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Qilin had also been caught up in the atmosphere and felt somewhat worried. Seeing Wei Zitong laugh, she turned to ask him.

"He's laughing because Teacher Liu is a dumbass!" Du Qiangwei said helplessly. She knew Ryze the Wanderer and had long grown used to his exaggerated way of speaking, so she was unmoved by his emotional buildup.

"It's fine, let's keep watching!" Wei Zitong said with a smile, waving his hand.

At that moment, Wuji Yi nervously stepped forward and asked, "Will... will she hurt us?"

"In theory, she will be your class monitor. She will temper you and eliminate all the useless trash who cannot become heroes!" Ryze the Wanderer said as he surveyed the crowd from the platform.

This was the key reason everyone cared about the Goddess's arrival. Even Du Qiangwei, who had been absentminded until then, focused up. Once they received their answer, everyone relaxed, because every member of the Super God Class believed they were among the more capable group. Apart from a few losers, most felt that they would not be the ones eliminated.

At the same time, they worried whether this Goddess would be like Du Qiangwei, unable to judge her own strength and making everyone suffer terribly.

"Any other questions?" Ryze the Wanderer asked.

"No!" everyone answered in unison.

"Good!" Ryze the Wanderer nodded, turned toward the constantly flickering Blue Light on the platform, and began chanting a complex, tongue-twisting spell.

"Tch, isn't it just a spatial corridor that needs to read sound-wave information? Why make it sound so fantastical?" Wei Zitong said disdainfully.

"What spatial corridor?" Qilin asked in confusion.

"It's one of Blazing Sun's spatial technologies!" Wei Zitong answered.

"Even I don't know that. How do you know?" Du Qiangwei was genuinely incredulous this time.

Wei Zitong naturally would not tell Du Qiangwei that he knew from the Super Seminary anime and fanfiction. He had also borrowed relevant books from the library to verify it. Tossing the book in his hand into Du Qiangwei's arms, he said, "Here, read it yourself!"

Du Qiangwei caught the book, but before she could look at it, a blinding Golden Light flared across the scene. It was so bright that everyone could barely open their eyes, and cries of surprise rang out!

Du Qiangwei directly used the book to shield her eyes.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

"I can't see clearly!"

"What does she look like?"

The crowd chattered noisily. Wei Zitong also widened his eyes curiously and strained to look. When he heard the sound of churning water, delight immediately welled up in his heart.

At the same time, the men let out wave after wave of wolf whistles!

"Whoa, so hot!"

"Woohoo!"

"It's blinding!"

"..."

Amid the swirling steam, a graceful upper body appeared and disappeared from view, making everyone's blood race!

Seeing this, Qilin was speechless and somewhat angry. When she saw Wei Zitong staring hard with wide eyes, her anger flared even higher. Raising her hand, she smacked the back of Wei Zitong's head. "You filthy pervert, don't look! Don't look!"

Wei Zitong fled with his head in his hands, feeling utterly aggrieved. "So many people are looking. Why are you only hitting me?"

As the steam dispersed, the first thing to enter everyone's view was an antique wooden bathtub. Looking upward, they saw a beautiful, flustered face wrapped in a bathing towel.

Wei Zitong guessed that this was Lena. She looked far prettier than in the anime. Compared to Du Qiangwei and Qilin, she was no less impressive, perhaps even superior in certain qualities!

Amid the rising and falling wolf whistles, Ge Xiaolun snatched a long broom from a janitor watching nearby. He spun it a few times, slammed it onto the ground, and roared heroically, "I'll be the first to step forward and become cannon fodder!"
