When Did Kato Megumi Appear?

In about ten minutes, the classroom was packed, and their homeroom teacher, Zhang Li, walked in.

Li Yu had been keeping an eye on the students entering, but aside from Yukino Yukinoshita, it seemed there was no one else he recognized.

Since this was his first time in a two-dimensional world, Li Yu truly couldn't identify them; perhaps he would have to wait until the teacher called roll to find out.

"Everyone is here now. From now on, you are all students of this class. Some of you have come from neighboring schools, while others are from this institution. I hope you can all get along well," Zhang Li said, looking at the students below as she explained the situation.

The fact that this class included students from other schools besides those from the home institution showed that the principal's reach was far greater than anyone had imagined.

He had used his authority to gather all the talented boys and girls from nearby high schools, and he had managed to pull this off in just over two hours.

One could only imagine how formidable that principal's methods were; the other schools hadn't even dared to let out a peep, simply releasing their students to come over.

"Teacher, why is this? Have students from other schools been transferred here as well?" Someone asked, raising their hand to voice the question they didn't understand.

This was a source of confusion for many in the class; they all wanted to understand what was going on. Suddenly having so many students from other schools as classmates was simply too absurd.

"Our principal is the highest administrator for the school district in this region. He intends to place all students with high talent into one class for cultivation." With that said, there was no need to elaborate further.

Everyone understood; the principal had directly exercised his authority to poach all the promising seedlings from other schools.

That was the only reason they were gathered in this class; otherwise, it would have been impossible for students from different schools to be brought together.

The students in the class fell silent upon hearing this, but the homeroom teacher's next words perked everyone up.

"In the future, your training will be guided by the best teachers, and the school will provide the best resources you require." Looking at the students below, the homeroom teacher's lips curled into a slight smile.

If all went well and this class proved effective, it would become a permanent fixture, repeated every single year.

Gathering all the best seedlings into one class for cultivation and funneling resources toward them to foster better talent.

As the homeroom teacher for the very first special class, she was under immense pressure. If she truly failed to manage this well, it would impact her future teaching career. But if she succeeded in leading this class, the benefits would go without saying.

Once the students in her class became famous, she, as their homeroom teacher, would share in that glory. Therefore, her next task was to properly guide this group of students.

Professional knowledge would be taught by professional teachers, and her job was to teach these students the principles of being a good person.

Sometimes, character was far more important than strength, and she certainly didn't want the students she taught to become a scourge.

This was the aspect she, as their homeroom teacher, would focus on most. With that thought in mind, she looked at the students below and continued, "Next, let's have everyone introduce themselves."

She was about to start calling roll, letting these students know their classmates' names, just like the first lesson of a new school year.

Hearing the homeroom teacher's words, the students began to stand up one by one, starting from the first row, to introduce themselves.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Jian. You can call me Xiao Jian." The first student to stand up finished his introduction and sat back down.

Self-introductions were something everyone had experienced at the start of a school year, so naturally, no one was nervous.

In reality, many people in the class had seen each other around school and knew at least a few names, unless they were invisible wallflowers like Li Yu.

This round of introductions was really for the students who had come from other schools, so they could learn everyone's names.

As student after student stood up to introduce themselves, it wasn't long before it was Li Yu's row.

It reached Yukino Yukinoshita quickly, and when it was her turn, many in the class turned their gazes toward her.

It was obvious that everyone wanted to know the name of this beautiful girl; students in puberty were incredibly restless.

A beautiful girl like Yukino Yukinoshita was naturally incredibly attractive. Although there were many pretty girls in the class, everyone was still more focused on Yukino.

"Hello everyone, I am Yukino Yukinoshita from Sakura District. Please treat me well." After finishing her introduction, she sat back down.

Hearing this name, many people silently took note; this fragrant, beautiful girl would be their classmate from now on.

Because Li Yu was sitting alone, it was his turn immediately after Yukino Yukinoshita finished her introduction.

"I am Li Yu!" After saying this, Li Yu sat back down. The others in the class silently noted the name, but didn't think much of it.

After all, Li Yu wasn't a beautiful girl. If he were, everyone would have taken a few more looks.

However, quite a few girls did look at Li Yu; there was no helping it, Li Yu was handsome, which naturally drew the attention of the girls.

After Li Yu sat down, the person behind him stood up and said, "My name is Kato Megumi, from Sakura District."

Li Yu, who had thought the introductions were over, was filled with question marks upon hearing the voice from behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw a girl with short hair. Li Yu froze when he saw her.

Saint Kato was actually here too? What was going on? When did she walk in? What kind of absurd talent was this?

Li Yu keenly noticed that after she introduced herself, aside from the homeroom teacher, no one else in the class had cast a glance in her direction.

Everyone had subconsciously ignored this girl, a situation that left Li Yu astonished.

Li Yu turned to look at her, and at that moment, he saw a flash of disappointment in her eyes, followed by her noticing Li Yu looking at her.

Kato Megumi blinked, a subtle feeling suddenly rising in her heart. This person in front of her had noticed her?

"Alright, that concludes the introductions. Get to know each other; we will officially start classes this afternoon!" Having heard everyone's introductions, the homeroom teacher set down the roster with satisfaction.

Although a few people hadn't arrived yet, most were present, and by the time classes started in the afternoon, everyone should be there.

After giving these instructions to the students, the homeroom teacher left the classroom. No sooner had she stepped out than the classroom became lively.

At this moment, Li Yu spoke to Kato Megumi: "What an absurd talent. People whose strength isn't much different from yours simply can't notice you, and even those stronger than you would likely subconsciously ignore you."

He stared intently at Kato Megumi. At this moment, a strange, faint aura was radiating from her, an aura that completely reduced her presence to the absolute minimum!
