The Long Hair Incident

Jingle jingle!

In the early morning, Xu Tui was woken up by a slightly piercing doorbell.

He opened his eyes.

He felt refreshed.

He felt like he had slept enough, but still lacked a little.

If only he could have stayed in bed a little longer, that would have been perfect.

But the doorbell was still ringing.

Xu Tui had no choice but to get up.

At this moment, Xu Tui felt as if countless tender little hands were pulling him from the warm covers, preventing him from getting up.

However, a handsome man always has great willpower.

He threw off the covers, resolutely got up, and opened the door.

Of course, he had to put on a pair of shorts before opening the door.

Xu Tui thought it might be the freshman reception center calling to wake him up.

But why were they so dedicated?

Shouldn't they have called his room phone to wake him up?

Rubbing his eyes, he opened the door.

The figure standing outside the door instantly sent a shiver down Xu Tui's spine.

He stood up straight abruptly, his hands that were rubbing his eyes quickly dropping.

Looking at An Xiaoxue, who was wearing a light blue medical mask and standing outside the door, Xu Tui, who was shirtless, felt extremely embarrassed.

Being shirtless was not a big deal.

It was just that he had just woken up early in the morning.

"Teacher An An, why are you here?"

Xu Tui, stammering, quickly hunched over.

"Are you planning to make me stand at the door and talk to you the whole time?" An Xiaoxue glanced at Xu Tui. Because she was wearing a large mask, her expression was unreadable.

"Teacher An, please come in, please come in!"

"Close the door."

"Uh, okay. Teacher An, why are you here? If you need anything, just call or send a message, and I'll definitely come running super fast." Xu Tui, not understanding, closed the door.

"Close your eyes," An Xiaoxue said again.

Xu Tui was stunned.

What was An Xiaoxue up to now?

However, thinking of An Xiaoxue's strength and demeanor, Xu Tui felt he didn't have the right to question her yet, so he quickly closed his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Tui felt that even if he lost something, he would accept it.

It was all because of his great charm!

"I put a piece of paper on your bedside table. Now, concentrate and read the content on this paper to me," An Xiaoxue said.

Testing his abilities?

Xu Tui suddenly realized.

He didn't feel ashamed of his fleeting thought, just a little bit disappointed.

This early in the morning, to think...

Xu Tui could still quickly get into the zone.

Concentrating, he 'saw' the content of the paper on the table, "Passion fruit 0.95 kg, unit price."

It was a shopping receipt with very small writing.

But this did not affect Xu Tui's Mental Induction.

"That's enough."

An Xiaoxue tidied up the receipt and then said, "When I first came in, I casually threw a hair somewhere in the room. Can you find it?"

"Teacher An, isn't the hair right under your foot?" Xu Tui asked in surprise.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

"Have you tested yourself before? What's your maximum sensing range? This room is a bit small, so your sensing distance just now might have been less than three meters," An Xiaoxue said very professionally.

"Teacher An, I tested it at home. My sensing range is about 3.12 meters." Xu Tui trusted An Xiaoxue very much and didn't hold back.

An Xiaoxue nodded lightly.

"Among today's testing items, your Mental Induction will also appear in the test sequence."

"If you trust me, I think it's best to hold back a bit during the test," An Xiaoxue said.

"Hold back?"

"Teacher An, are you suggesting I cheat?" An Xiaoxue's eyes widened. Xu Tui quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I understand what you mean, Teacher An. You mean I shouldn't show my limits."

"Yes, whether it's the range of your Mental Induction or its clarity, you should hold back," An Xiaoxue said.

"Okay!"

Xu Tui agreed readily. He could feel that An Xiaoxue meant him no harm.

"But Teacher An, can you tell me why? So I can be more aware," Xu Tui asked.

"What do you think your level of Mental Induction is most suitable for?" An Xiaoxue countered.

"Most suitable for?"

Xu Tui propped up his chin. Sharpshooter? That's impossible. A sharpshooter with a range of about three meters? That's a joke.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Tui's brow suddenly twitched. "Surveillance, monitoring through walls? Or peeping?"

"Understood?"

"Your ability is most suited for intelligence work, but that would be a waste. The most likely scenario is that you'd be made into a spy, an internal one at that," An Xiaoxue said bluntly.

A spy!

An internal spy!

The words sent a chill down Xu Tui's spine.

"Teacher An, how could an internal spy..."

"Do you think the Gene Committees of the various major regions under the Blue Star Alliance are a unified entity? If they are unified, then why divide them into so many regions?

Do you think all those gene potion companies and the various research institutes within the Gene Research Institute are doing charity work?"

"Including our Huaxia Gene Evolution University."

An Xiaoxue's words stopped there, she didn't say more. "If you continue to hold onto your high school student mindset and worldview, you probably won't even know how you died in the future."

"Thank you, Teacher An."

He hadn't eaten pork before, but he had seen pigs run.

Xu Tui had seen many power struggles between magnates in TV shows and novels.

Before, he had only seen them in anime and novels.

However, combined with his experiences these past few days, Xu Tui suddenly understood one thing—reality is often more fantastical than fiction!

He had to admit, thinking about it from An Xiaoxue's perspective, it really made sense.

If Xu Tui's ability were used for undercover intelligence work, it would be amazing!

"Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether you hold back or not is your choice. If you aspire to work in intelligence or become a spy, then just pretend I never said anything," An Xiaoxue added.

Intelligence work?

Aspire to be a spy?

Xu Tui quickly shook his head.

Especially the latter, who often disappeared without a trace. Xu Tui, as a passionate young man, absolutely disliked and was unwilling to be that.

"Teacher An, then how much should I hold back with this ability?" Xu Tui asked.

An Xiaoxue definitely knew more about this than Xu Tui.

"Hold back at least half."

"Whether it's the sensing distance or the clarity of the sensing, I personally suggest you hold back half.

This might affect your rating, but it will be beneficial for your future and personal safety," An Xiaoxue said.

"Half?"

Xu Tui nodded. "Teacher An, is there anything else I need to hold back on?"

"Anything else?"

An Xiaoxue's rhetorical question was filled with disdain.

"In other aspects, show us how talented you are. The more talented you are, the more proud I'll be.

Oh, right. As you're in the Mind Heart department, you've been automatically assigned as my student. Is that okay?" An Xiaoxue asked.

"No, no problem."

Xu Tui quickly shook his head.

There were no problems to begin with.

Even if there were problems, he would have to say there weren't.

Otherwise, An Xiaoxue would definitely crush him.

To borrow a phrase An Xiaoxue had just used, do you really think everyone is here doing charity work?

Xu Tui thought so.

"If there are no problems, please sign this report," An Xiaoxue handed over a report.

Xu Tui's heart leaped. Could this be a contract of servitude?

After reading it, Xu Tui knew his judgment was mistaken.

Battle Situation Detailed Report - Encounter on June 12, 2137, 18:47

"There are a few parts inside that involve your account, and you are a key party. Your signature confirmation is needed before it can be submitted," An Xiaoxue leaned closer and pointed to a few sections on the report.

Her long hair, carrying a faint fragrance, came close, causing Xu Tui's breathing to quicken for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.

The signs of this early morning had just disappeared. If something like that happened again and he was discovered, the consequences...

Xu Tui read through it. Most of it was fine.

Including the account of discovering the spy Cha Yifeng, the only point of slight contention was the killer of the cyborg Ahu.

Xu Tui was listed as the killer. An Xiaoxue had already signed off.

"Teacher An, you also took action. Shouldn't this credit be shared with you?" Xu Tui asked.

There would definitely be rewards for killing the cyborg Ahu.

"Don't be confused. It's yours! And there should be quite a few rewards, which should be very helpful to you right now. Sign it," An Xiaoxue said.

"Thank you, Teacher An."

Xu Tui solemnly thanked her again.

In Xu Tui's Mental Induction, An Xiaoxue's silver bullet kill was a fraction of a second slower than his Buck magnetic bead.

However, both were fatal wounds. Who could say for sure?

If the official institution were to make the determination, it was highly likely that An Xiaoxue's share would be greater.

This was An Xiaoxue voluntarily confirming it for Xu Tui.

As it stood, Xu Tui desperately needed this.

Xu Tui had to acknowledge this favor.

He quickly signed his name. An Xiaoxue took the report and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang again.

Xu Tui and An Xiaoxue looked at each other.

Who could it be at this early hour?

Xu Tui was just a student who had just reported for duty.

As if sensing something, neither Xu Tui nor An Xiaoxue moved, waiting for the person at the door to leave.

However, the person ringing the doorbell was persistent, continuing to ring.

While ringing, they started knocking and shouting.

"Junior, wake up! If you don't get up soon, you'll be late."

"Go open the door," An Xiaoxue said after a moment of silence.

Xu Tui nodded blankly, preparing to open the door.

"Coming, coming."

At the door, Xu Tui suddenly realized something and quickly went back to put on a T-shirt.

When he opened the door, he saw a young man with multi-colored hair whistling.

"Hey, junior, why didn't you open the door so early in the morning?"

Before he could finish, the multi-colored haired youth's mouth suddenly widened. An Xiaoxue walked out of Xu Tui's room.

"The signature confirmation is done. I'm leaving."

An Xiaoxue, wearing a large mask, strode out, her high ponytail swaying, and left Xu Tui's room as if no one else was there.

The multi-colored haired youth looked at the departing An Xiaoxue, then at Xu Tui. His mouth formed an 'O' shape, his expression extremely complicated and extremely pained.

"You're amazing!"

"You got the 'Masked Goddess' of the Mysterious Academy in one night? You must be Xu Tui, right? Teach me how.

You teach me, and I'll introduce you to the goddesses of the academy. We can conquer them together, how about it?"

Xu Tui's forehead was covered in black lines. This was something he really couldn't explain.

The more he tried to explain, the worse it would get.

It was best not to say anything.

"There was a slight accident on the way earlier. Teacher An came to have me sign the report," Xu Tui said.

The multi-colored haired youth looked at Xu Tui with an expression that clearly said, "As if I'd believe that."

"My name is Chai Xiao. I'm the senior responsible for guiding you through the entrance evaluation and ranking today. You're Xu Tui, right? Where's Cheng Mo?"

Chai Xiao, his hair dyed red, white, and gray, tied high with a headband, extended his hand to Xu Tui, peering inside as he did so.

"Cheng Mo, he's gone to the medical center."

Upon hearing this, Chai Xiao immediately yelled exaggeratedly, "Alright, you guys are too damn amazing! To have a secret rendezvous, you actually beat up your dormmate and sent him to the medical center. Such tactics, you're kings!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Cheng Mo has a fractured bone, he was attacked on the way!"

"Holy crap, you guys are brutal, you actually broke his bone!"

Xu Tui: "..."

"Senior Chai, it's not what you think. If you keep this up, I'll ask Teacher An to come back and talk to you about it." Xu Tui was getting a little annoyed.

"Forget it then, I get it, I understand."

Chai Xiao nodded quickly, but the next second, he exclaimed again, "Long hair, long hair by the bed, this is definitely..."

Xu Tui: "..."

"Also, Junior Xu Tui, you're wearing your shirt inside out too."

Xu Tui: "..."
