I'm a Superpowered Person-Time to Come Clean!

Everyone in Z City looked up at the sky, wary of their surroundings.

Their eyes held a trace of fear of the unknown. The air-raid sirens had been blaring for more than ten minutes.

At first, no one paid much attention to the unexpected alarm, assuming it was just a routine warning about a superpowered battle. That was, until the disaster became relevant to everyone...

At Mid-City High School, the prolonged sirens echoing through the city made some students reach for their phones to complain online. But they quickly realized something was wrong.

"What's going on? My phone has no signal."

"It's not that. My signal's still full, but I can't get on any video sites."

"Damn, this superpowered person is strong. They can even keep us from going online!"

By the window in the corner, Fang Can leaned his head to look over the class, his expression relaxed.

After all, his Bad Event Detection Radar hadn't sounded an alarm yet, which meant the situation was still within control.

No need to panic. It wasn't a big problem.

Besides, watching his adorable classmates—who usually called for bloodshed every day, yet fell into a panic the moment something actually happened—was pretty amusing!

Fang Can pulled out his phone and checked the signal. Sure enough, it showed full bars. But when he opened the KuaiDou B-Hu app, it wouldn't load.

His classmates could still call one another normally, but if they tried to contact anyone outside Z City, the call wouldn't go through.

"Why does it feel like we've been walled off?"

The thought popped into Fang Can's mind. How could there be another wall inside the Great Firewall?

Before he could ponder it for long, a signal automatically connected to everyone's electronic devices. Their phones began downloading a file called Five Elements Moistening Technique.

"Five Elements Intercalary Technique?" Fang Can's brows knitted sharply. Something was off.

The file was only 70 MB, and within moments, everyone had finished downloading it.

Suspicious, Fang Can opened the file. The title on the first page made his vision go dark.

<Five Elements Moistening Technique: Mortal Shedding Body Chapter>

"Damn it, Idealist Martial Dao is still after me." Fang Can was utterly speechless as he casually flipped through the file.

He skimmed past the preface, table of contents, history of martial arts, the country's contributions to martial arts research, recent bottlenecks in martial arts development, the state of martial arts in the country, visions for the future, and a whole pile of textbook-style nonsense. At last, he reached the main text, which was only a few pages long.

When he saw that the human body had 108 acupoints, along with the Role-Playing Method and Myriad Manifestation Form-Intention Fist, Fang Can was finally certain this was genuine Idealist Martial Dao.

Thinking of the signal from outside the city being blocked and the sudden air-raid sirens, a troubling thought arose in Fang Can's mind.

A moment later, a video appeared before everyone. A boy in an orange shirt waved at the camera and said, "Everyone in Z City, on behalf of the Dragon Group, let me congratulate you in advance on becoming the target of this Carnival Day."

As the boy spoke in the video, the whole class felt as if they'd plunged into an icy pit. Their hands and feet turned cold. None of them had imagined that the much-discussed Carnival Day was so close.

"How could this happen? I want to get out!"

"Damn it! There are over nine hundred cities in the country. Why did they have to draw ours?"

"I want to leave the city! I want out!"

After the boy's announcement, the entire city erupted into an uproar. Everyone knew exactly what happened to cities targeted for Carnival Day.

The boy in the video neither knew nor cared about the commotion. He continued with a smile:

"The entire perimeter of Z City has now been sealed off. Anyone attempting to leave will be attacked. This will continue until Carnival Day is over."

"Meanwhile, there will be no laws in this city for the duration. People will only be sent in to take over after Carnival Day."

"The file I sent you contains our latest research. If you practice hard, it may slightly improve your chances of survival."

"Before Carnival Day, anyone who develops qi-sense will receive a reward of ten million."

"Finally, good luck."

With that, the boy smiled and waved at everyone before ending the connection.

As the phone screens went dark, the entire school fell briefly silent. Then a tremendous uproar broke out.

In an instant, wailing, screams, and furious shouts echoed throughout the city.

It seemed that madness was about to engulf the entire city.

In Building Two of Mid-City High School, the crisp sound of shattering glass rang out as a chair smashed through a window and flew out of the building.

A teacher glared at the close-cropped boy in front of him and shouted, "Zhang Yang, what are you doing? Isn't there enough chaos already?"

The only answer he got was a fist to the face.

The close-cropped boy struck him with a Respecting Teacher and Dao Fist, knocking him to the ground. Under the horrified gaze of the class, he roared:

"I've been sick of studying this crap for ages! Functions, geometry— I don't want to hear another word about them."

"You all heard that. There's no law anymore. Who cares about exams and studying? I'm done with school!"

With that, the close-cropped boy strode out of the classroom under everyone's gaze. No one dared stop him.

"This is getting serious." In the corner, Fang Can shook his head helplessly.

There would only be more and more disorderly incidents like this across the city.

Robberies, murders, and other crimes would cause chaos. With the vicious cycle spiraling onward, by the time Carnival Day ended, the city might as well have become another Los Santos.

"So... should I step in?" Fang Can wondered, looking at the chaotic classroom.

If he revealed that he was a superpowered person and combined that with his current strength, perhaps he could maintain order in the city.

After all, the difference between order and disorder came down to having hope. As a superpowered person, he could serve as a credible symbol of that hope, at least for a while.

As he hesitated, Fang Can casually took a coin from his pocket, ready to leave it to fate.

Fang Can flicked the coin into the air. It spun, hit the ground twice, and somehow wedged itself upright in a crack in the floor.

"What does that mean?"

Fang Can looked at the coin standing on its edge. "That I can do whatever I want?"

"Heh!" Fang Can couldn't help grinning. He picked up the coin and gave it a light squeeze in his right hand.

By now, the whole class was in an uproar. Some were terrified, while others were excited, as if it were a holiday.

But then everyone's heart suddenly clenched, as though some Great Terror had descended.

Without anyone prompting them, they all instinctively turned to look behind them in unison.

By the window in the corner, Fang Can slapped the side of the coin that represented doing as he pleased onto the desk and slowly stood up.

No one dared meet his eyes. No one said a word. It was as if the person before them radiated a terrifying authority.

After using his newly learned Heart Manifestation to cow the entire class, Fang Can spread his hands beneath their awed, hopeful, and envious gazes.

"I'm a superpowered person... Time to come clean."
