Elegy of Life, Brand New Journey

"In today's world, where resources are insufficient to satisfy all of humanity, only the elite can survive! This will ensure better development for mankind!"

"From today onward, the quality of life for every family, except for the Elite class, will be linked to their child's academic performance. It is imperative to cultivate more talent for the future of humanity!"

"Students who rank in the bottom third in the annual year-end exams will be uniformly terminated, and their Parents will be uniformly relocated to the Slums until they produce a more outstanding child."

"Yes, yes, I want you to do it." Inside an Underground hospital, the Middle-aged woman clutched the Doctor's sleeve tightly.

The Doctor, who had practiced medicine in the Underworld for many years, frowned. Even he was hearing for the first time that a parent requested him to perform such a surgery on their child.

He didn't even know if the child's condition after the surgery would be better than if she were directly terminated.

Of course, the Woman in front of him definitely hadn't considered these things. She only cared about not being relocated to the Slums.

The Middle-aged woman looked at her daughter on the Operating table, her eyes completely devoid of heartache and guilt.

"Yueyue, listen to Mother. After this surgery, your grades will definitely improve."

Lin Yue looked at her deeply, looking at her Mother. Of course she knew why she had been sent here.

Her grades had never been very good in class, even though she studied very hard, even desperately.

Even studying until two or three in the morning, she could still only rank in the middle of the class.

She wasn't a smart child, never had been, so her Mother had come up with a plan.

To sever the Emotional center in her brain. Without extraneous emotions to affect her studies, without extraneous emotions to resist her Parents, she would be more obedient and study more diligently.

To damage the Sleep nerves in her brain, so that she would no longer be sleepy, and only need the shortest amount of rest each day to ensure her body wouldn't collapse, greatly increasing her study time.

Looking at Lin Yue on the Operating table, the Middle-aged woman only felt that she saw the future, her and her Husband's glorious future.

The world of the Elite class was beckoning them. They could move out of the Apartment building they lived in now and into a Villa with a better environment.

They would have a Garden, and even a Swimming pool!

Wearily closing her eyes, Lin Yue stopped looking at her Mother. She had given birth to her, raised her... If she wanted to do this, then let her do it. Just consider it repaying her.

She was also very tired. Perhaps without emotions, she would feel better? Lin Yue thought wildly in her heart, trying to comfort herself.

The surgery began, and Lin Yue's consciousness gradually fell into darkness. A silent elegy was playing soundlessly.

When everything was over, Lin Yue opened her eyes again, numbness occupying her pupils.

"Success! Success!" The Middle-aged woman ecstatically stroked her cheek, her face full of manic joy.

"Yueyue, do you still know who I am?" Now she wanted to confirm, to confirm that her child still had cognition and could still study.

"I know," Lin Yue's tone was devoid of inflection, and she looked expressionlessly at the Middle-aged woman stroking her cheek, "You are my Mother."

"Yes, yes, yes." The Middle-aged woman nodded frantically, reached into her bag, took out a Textbook, and handed it to Lin Yue, not even caring that bandages were still wrapped around her head.

"Want to take a look at the book?"

Lin Yue reached out to take the Textbook, opened the book, and quickly flipped through it, her head lowered. Without the influence of emotions, her reading speed was several times faster than before.

Complete rationality had occupied her brain, and the speed at which she understood the knowledge in the book was even faster.

Lin Yue spent only an hour reading, from starting to completely understanding and mastering the entire Textbook. Even with her previous memory of the Textbook as a foundation, this speed was extremely astonishing.

"Genius, my daughter has finally become a genius." The Middle-aged woman hugged Lin Yue ecstatically. The Doctor next to her looked at her, his eyes full of indifference and contempt.

"Alright, madam, now you can pay and leave with your daughter."

The Middle-aged woman let go of Lin Yue, paid with the bracelet on her wrist, and left the Underground hospital, pulling Lin Yue along with her.

Taking Lin Yue back home, the Husband looked at his daughter with vacant eyes, and looked at his wife with equal joy.

"Success?!"

"Success!" The Middle-aged woman nodded vigorously, patting Lin Yue's back.

"Our daughter is now a true genius. She mastered an entire math book in just one hour!"

"Good, good, good…" The Man paced back and forth excitedly, "Our good days are finally coming!"

The following days were exactly as the two of them had envisioned. Lin Yue's grades continued to improve, and their family moved from an Apartment building to a Villa.

Then, they moved from a Villa to an even larger Villa. In the two years from Lin Yue's fourteenth to sixteenth birthday, they achieved the leap to the Elite class.

Until this year, when Lin Yue turned sixteen, everything changed again.

"So, our child is a genius? A true genius?!" The Man caressed his wife's belly, looking at her in surprise.

"Of course. I went to the most authoritative Private hospital. The Doctor checked everything." The Woman looked at her belly with incomparable love, as if looking through it at the unborn baby inside.

"That's great…" The Man murmured with hazy eyes, as if he saw an even more glorious future for himself.

They had reached the Elite class, so could they... go even further!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. When he thought of his daughter Lin Yue already being sixteen years old, he couldn't help but look at his wife with concern.

"In another two years, Yueyue will have to take the big exam. When the time comes for the physical examination, will they find out…"

Hearing her Husband's words, the Woman also frowned, "It's certainly possible…"

"After being found out, we shouldn't be punished, right?" The Man opened his mouth worriedly. As Lin Yue's age increased, this worry also grew heavier in his heart, but he had only told his wife about it today.

Thinking about the potential punishment she and her Husband might face, even if she wasn't sure if there would really be one.

But just the thought of losing everything they had now, going back to the Apartment building, or even ending up in the Slums, made the Woman feel suffocated.

"No, we can't just wait to be punished!" the Woman clutched the Man's hand tightly.

The Man lowered his head, and after barely any hesitation, he looked up at her.

"According to the rules, families without children of eligible age can maintain their social status and quality of life unchanged from the time the child is born until they go to school."

"Our child is a true genius, so as long as he's born, and we still don't have any children, wouldn't that mean..."

The Woman stared at the Man, her eyes wide. "But... don't we have Lin Yue?"

The Man lowered his eyes, gently caressing his wife's belly, as if greeting the genius inside.

"Isn't it almost time for the year-end test?"

Understanding the Man's implication, the Woman pursed her lips. She wasn't reluctant to give up Lin Yue; she was just considering whether it was worth it.

As long as Lin Yue faltered in this year's year-end test, they would become a family without children of eligible age, and they could still maintain their current standard of living and social status.

When the child in her womb was born, he could grow up in a better environment, and they could use this true genius to climb even higher.

And the potential hidden dangers in Lin Yue... would disappear.

Understanding the stakes, the Woman didn't hesitate. She looked at her Husband with deep affection. "Let's do as you say."

"Good." The Man smiled and nodded, giving the Woman and the unborn child a kiss.

This year's year-end test was unusual for Lin Yue; her failure was already predetermined before the exam.

A bowl of porridge laced with enough drugs was enough to make her rank last in the year-end test.

Looking blankly at the Armed personnel who came to take her away, Lin Yue didn't struggle or resist like the other students.

She didn't understand why she should resist. Wasn't it the rule that those who didn't perform well were destroyed? Rules needed to be followed.

Even as she lay on the Operating table, Lin Yue still felt that way.

The Nurse who carried out the destruction had been doing this job for many years, but she had never seen such a calm child.

So calm, it was as if she didn't know what she was about to face.

Pushing the thoughts out of her mind, the potion was slowly injected into Lin Yue's body, her consciousness gradually blurring, her life gradually fading away.

The elegy of life began on an Operating table and ended on an Operating table.

Once the destruction was complete, Lin Yue's body was placed in a Black cloth bag, casually tossed into the Transport vehicle, waiting to go to the final Crematorium.

The doors of the Transport vehicle closed, and in the pitch-black darkness, Lin Yue's body in the Black cloth bag gradually emitted a Golden light.

The Golden light grew brighter and brighter, and the Black cloth bag that wrapped her body seemed unable to withstand the light and gradually melted away.

The next moment, Lin Yue's body suddenly disappeared into the Golden light, and the inside of the Transport vehicle returned to silence.

No one would know that just now, a student who was supposed to be destroyed had quietly disappeared from this world.

Woo...

The whistle of the Steam train woke up the Girl who was leaning against the train window. Turning her head to look at the unfamiliar surroundings, she wasn't puzzled about where she was, or rather, she wouldn't be puzzled at all.

She was just analyzing that she was on a train, a Steam train.

Then, her vision blurred, and a few lines of text appeared before her eyes.

Lin Yue, welcome to a different world. This is a world full of Magic and fantasy. Start your new life here, learn Magic, experience life, and experience what you never had the chance to have.

By the way, to make sure you have a smooth time here, I have given you powerful enough Magic power to live safely. Your age has also been adjusted to eleven years old. I hope you don't mind me making you younger. I hope you have a good time here -- from HP's World Consciousness

Looking at the text in front of her, Lin Yue's mood didn't fluctuate in the slightest. Magic, a power that changes things and reality through unscientific means. Magic power, the foundation for realizing Magic.

So, with this World Consciousness's gift, she could cast Magic.

Also, school, so she was going to a Magic school now? Since it was a Magic school, that meant she had to study.

Study... Lin Yue's gaze turned to a large Box placed beside her. She vaguely understood that this Box was for her.

Reaching out to open the Box, Lin Yue first took out a small Wooden stick from inside. The moment she touched it, a string of Golden light burst out from the head of the Wooden stick, and a wave of warmth flowed through her entire body.

"I don't know what it is," Lin Yue said mechanically, casually putting the small Wooden stick into the pocket of her clothes.

Taking out a book, Lin Yue closed the suitcase and opened the book to read.

Quickly flipping through and memorizing the book called Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, Lin Yue realized that this was a kind of knowledge she had never encountered before.

The speed of understanding slowed down. An hour passed, and Lin Yue had only finished reading and understanding a third of the book. Before she could continue turning the page, the compartment door was knocked twice and then opened.

Lin Yue looked up at the compartment door, where a brown-haired Girl was standing with a Boy.

Calmly withdrawing her gaze, Lin Yue once again focused her attention on the book.

Hermione watched as Lin Yue raised her head, glanced at her and Neville, and then lowered her head to read without saying a word.

Tilting her head in confusion, she took the initiative to greet her, "Hey, hello, my name is Hermione Granger."

According to the rules of etiquette, if someone greets you, you should respond.

Lin Yue raised her head again, looking at the Girl who called herself Hermione Granger. "Hello, my name is Lin Yue."

The beautiful voice felt incongruous because it lacked emotional inflection, and Hermione even felt a faint sense of fear.

"Oh... oh, we're sorry to bother you while you're reading..."

"It's okay." Lin Yue shook her head.

Hermione swallowed. "It's like this, Neville," she gestured to the boy beside her, "he lost his Toad, have you seen it?"

"Toad?" Lin Yue looked at Neville.

"Yes..." Neville nodded, his face a little pale. Lin Yue's monotonous tone and expressionless face made him a little scared, as if he wasn't facing a person, a real person.

But a very human-like doll, or something else.

"Didn't see it." Lin Yue shook her head, still staring at them blankly.

"Anything else?"

"N-no, nothing else..." Hermione tried to calm herself down. "Sorry to bother you, goodbye."

Closing the compartment door, Hermione led Neville away quickly, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they were far away from Lin Yue's compartment.

After the two of them closed the door and left, Lin Yue withdrew her gaze and continued reading. She was going to Magic school to study, so she was still a student, and study time couldn't be wasted.

The train traveled from day to night and finally arrived at Hogwarts. When buying food at noon, Lin Yue once again used her emotionless tone and expression to scare the Saleswoman on the train.

But she didn't intend to put more thought into it. She needed to put all her thoughts into studying.

Moreover, she was used to Hermione, Neville, and the Saleswoman's attitude. Her Parents, classmates, and teachers basically had this attitude. She didn't care, or rather, she couldn't care at all.
