But precisely because he had never found them, he believed even more firmly that mysteries existed in this world, along with those mysterious organizations. They simply could not reveal themselves to the public for reasons of their own.
However, as he read more novels and learned more real-world knowledge, his fantasies about such things gradually dwindled, until he could completely distinguish reality from illusion.
But things were different now. Reiki Revival had happened, and they had even Awakened Superpowers.
Regardless of whether Reiki Revival would affect plants or Beasts, once humans Awakened Superpowers, there would definitely be people who developed other ambitions. Even just to manage them, the country would establish relevant organizations.
He just did not know whether this organization would be open to the public, allowing those who met the requirements to join.
"..."
The homeroom teacher did not know what to say for a moment. Did this guy's imagination have to run that wild?
They had only Awakened Superpowers yesterday, and today he was already thinking about fighting for the position of Earth's ruler? Would he be thinking about the apocalypse tomorrow?
Still, what this guy said did make quite a bit of sense.
But the homeroom teacher's face darkened.
"Do you think your homeroom teacher has the qualifications to know about something like that?"
How could a lowly homeroom teacher like me possibly speculate on the country's intentions? Besides, what if I guessed wrong? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
"You'll find out about it later."
After perfunctorily brushing Zhang Weiyang off, the homeroom teacher looked seriously at the students before him.
"Students, I know that Awakening Superpowers has had quite a major impact on all of you."
"Perhaps it signifies a new era and a new opportunity. In the future, Huaxia and even the entire world will undergo drastic changes because of the abilities we have Awakened."
"I may be a Teacher, but I have no right to demand that you must do anything."
"I only hope you remember not to use your abilities to commit crimes or violate rules. When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Even if you do not wish to bear the responsibility brought by your own abilities, I still hope you will not take the initiative to destroy this hard-won peace."
"Of course, our Superpowers are still very weak. Saying that we can affect the world is merely an exaggeration. What we can do is cooperate with the country and register our abilities."
"I also hope all of you will actively cooperate and not cause trouble for the country."
The times had changed, and so had the methods of education.
Novels, anime, and movies had a major influence on a person's way of thinking.
They could amplify the good in someone, but they could also awaken the evil in someone. After all, being a good person was difficult, while being a bad person was easy.
He would not demand that his students had to become good people, but he hoped they would not become bad people either.
Having Awakened Superpowers at this age, every one of them thought themselves extraordinary. One careless mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.
As their Teacher, he did not want such things to happen to his students.
The students understood the homeroom teacher's words, so they all answered seriously:
"Don't worry, homeroom teacher. We'll definitely cooperate."
"Yeah, yeah. Even though we keep talking about a new era and all that, we also understand how precious peace is."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Maybe I can't selflessly devote everything, but I can still do what is within my power."
"It's just registration. It's not like it's any trouble."
"Yeah, yeah. I used to envy those people who had abilities and got to register at the police station."
"..."
As long as it did not involve being used for experiments or research, the students were quite cooperative.
They also understood how precious peace was. Just look at those war-torn countries to know how terrifying war could be.
They did not want their own country to become like that.
Hearing his students' words, the homeroom teacher nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, now those of you who have Awakened abilities, stand up."
"Follow me to the athletic field to register."
"Those who have not Awakened Superpowers needn't worry either. Everyone's constitution is different, and so is the speed at which Superpowers Awaken. Besides, no matter how the world changes, studying is still your foremost task as students."
"Wait in the classroom for now. Once the math Teacher finishes registering, he'll come over to teach you."
Upon hearing the homeroom teacher's words, the eyes of those who had not Awakened Superpowers instantly lit up. They had thought they simply lacked the aptitude to Awaken abilities, but it turned out to be only a matter of constitution.
Thank goodness, thank goodness.
As for the homeroom teacher's later statement that studying was a student's foremost task, those whose minds were filled only with Superpowers had already skipped right over it.
"So it's because of my constitution. That scared me to death—I thought I was just a supporting character."
"Those who Awaken Superpowers are the supporting characters. Can't you see how large the proportion is? People like us who haven't Awakened yet are the extras."
"Nonsense. The ones who Awaken in the first round are all extras. The protagonist always makes their entrance last, got it? Haven't you heard of the Zero-to-Hero Genre?"
"That's true."
After learning that they could still Awaken, their earlier disappointment and even despair immediately calmed. Smiles returned to every face.
They could even comfort themselves for not having Awakened yet by debating whether they were protagonists or supporting characters.
"That may be true, but I'm still so envious of those who have Awakened."
"Yeah. At least they already possess their Superpowers, while ours only exist in our imaginations."
"Hehehe, I hope my Superpower is a bit stronger. I'm not asking for much—just a spatial type would do. A time type would also be fine."
"Space? Time? Keep dreaming."
"I'm not as greedy as you. I'd be satisfied with a Superpower like Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit—something that can grow longer or shorter, thicker or thinner."
"Ugh, disgusting."
Everyone immediately moved away from him. At such a young age, he was already making dirty jokes. Did he even have a license?
"What's so great about rubber? Invisibility is the true king, understand? A sunny, handsome guy like me should have a Superpower like that."
"Ugh, shameless!"
"I want a Superpower like the Slippery Fruit or the Love-Love Fruit."
"But aren't you a guy?"
"So what if I'm a guy? What does this have to do with gender? It's about looks!"
He spoke with righteous conviction, and quite a few people beside him nodded thoughtfully.
That made sense.
Looks were what mattered most now, and the Slippery Fruit and Love-Love Fruit had powerful abilities too.
Hiss... that actually might not be a bad idea.
Bai Xuan and the others could not help rolling their eyes at their words. These guys really knew how to fantasize.
By then, quite a few people had already gathered on the athletic field. It was not just Bai Xuan's class; there were many people from other classes as well. At the very front, they could see several Teachers demonstrating and registering abilities.
One Teacher had actually grown a fluffy fox tail, making them look at him a few extra times.
Yeah, only two extra glances.
I swear!
