Huo Yu was speechless. She looked at Bai Xuan as if he were a monster. She couldn't help but wonder if this guy was also working for the state and just messing with her.

Otherwise, how could he have analyzed so much from such a tiny amount of information?

The earlier points were one thing, but as for the latter ones, why didn't he just go ahead and say her name out loud?

"Judging by your expression, my guess must be correct."

Bai Xuan nodded thoughtfully, then, as if realizing something, he prepared to speak.

The next second, Huo Yu cut him off directly.

"The rest aside, why are you so certain that the Reiki Revival was caused by the Seven-Star Alignment? Does the state not have information regarding the Reiki Revival?"

Huo Yu could understand other things, but this was the one thing she couldn't fathom.

Normally, once one knew this was the state's doing, shouldn't they suspect that the state had grasped information about the Reiki Revival before it even happened and had used some method to cultivate certain people or things in advance?

Why was he so certain that the state was unaware of the Reiki Revival's origins? And why was he so convinced that it appeared because of the Seven-Star Alignment?

It wasn't as if astronomical phenomena similar to the Seven-Star Alignment hadn't occurred in the past, yet no Reiki Revival had happened then, had it?

"I have my own channels."

Bai Xuan didn't answer her, speaking calmly.

How could he explain it? That the initiator of the Reiki Revival was the Chat Group, and that it started only after the Chat Group wanted to choose someone with high destiny as a member and communicated with the World Consciousness?

In such a situation, unless someone from a future post-Reiki Revival Huaxia had been reborn, it would be impossible to predict.

"..."

You're a high school student, what kind of channels could you possibly have! What channels do you have that I wouldn't know about?!

Huo Yu rolled her eyes. She was, after all, a state agent. Before coming here, hadn't she checked every bit of information on Bai Xuan? Could it be that Bai Xuan's channels were even capable of hiding things from the state?

"I'm curious, how did you determine that I was the one who acted?"

Bai Xuan looked at Huo Yu and asked this question.

Had they installed surveillance in the playground when they didn't know? Was there secret recording? Satellite monitoring? Or was it that Crimson Flame Bird?

The Crimson Flame Bird.

Seeming to have confirmed something, Bai Xuan murmured:

"Assuming my previous guesses are correct, and those Crimson Flame Birds were the work of a Summoning Type esper from the state, then there must be some kind of connection between the Crimson Flame Birds and that esper."

"Memory browsing, visual sharing?"

"From the perspective of supernatural powers, this is not impossible."

If that were the case, then it was only natural that Bai Xuan would be discovered. He still remembered the way the Crimson Flame Bird had stared fixedly at him.

If they could truly share vision, it would be easy for the other party to identify Bai Xuan.

Since he had the answer, Bai Xuan was no longer so puzzled, but instead offered an evaluation of the other party's strength.

"To be able to summon such a large number of Crimson Flame Birds with such decent strength on the very first day of the Reiki Revival—a very powerful talent."

"The Crimson Flame Birds are definitely not the limit of that person. If they went all out, they should be able to summon even more powerful creatures. Sure enough, even in an era of universal awakening, geniuses still far exceed the mediocre."

While other people's supernatural powers were still in the "plaything" stage, some people possessed powerful combat capabilities the moment they awakened.

The sheer number of Crimson Flame Birds summoned by that person alone could hold back over ninety-nine percent of the espers in the world. After the Reiki Revival, the gap between geniuses and ordinary people had not shrunk; it had only widened further.

"One truly cannot underestimate the people of this world."

Bai Xuan nodded with deep emotion. Although he possessed the [Nature Authority], had the highest destiny on Earth, and had the Chat Group, those true geniuses were not to be underestimated either.

The future of Earth would definitely not be him sitting alone on the clouds, but a hundred flowers blooming, each displaying their own Supernatural Power.

This was exactly how the world should look after the Reiki Revival.

"So, what's with that look of gratification on your face?"

"Since you know the other person's power is so strong, please show at least a little bit of surprise."

"You look as if no matter how strong they are, they still can't compare to you! Just how confident are you in yourself!"

Seeing the expression on Bai Xuan's face, Huo Yu couldn't help but feel a vein pop on her forehead. This guy was completely different from an ordinary high school senior!

"Forget it, I give up."

Sighing slightly, Huo Yu took two documents out of her bag.

"Forget everything we just talked about, let's get to the main point."

"Let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of the Hang City branch of the state's newly established Spirit Energy Bureau, and I am also the one you guessed correctly—the person who awakened a summoning-type power and summoned the Crimson Flame Birds."

"Because I have the ability to share vision with my summons, I discovered that the Crimson Flame Bird's gaze was fixed on you, and I also saw your expression—you showed no emotion when the bird died, as if you had expected it all along."

"Although I don't know why you registered your power as the metal element while using a powerful thunder element ability, it only goes to show that your talent is even greater than we imagined."

"Therefore, after much consideration, our Hang City Spirit Energy Bureau invites you to join us."

Bai Xuan picked up the documents and looked them over, then looked at the other party with some confusion.

"Is this contract a creation of an esper? What happens if the contract is broken?"

"This is just a standard document. Besides, you haven't even signed it yet, so why are you already thinking about breaking it?"

Huo Yu clenched her fists; if she could, she would really like to beat this brat up.

"Oh."

Hearing Huo Yu's words, Bai Xuan nodded, then continued:

"Before that, I think you should describe the benefits of joining the Spirit Energy Bureau to me."

"Isn't it written right there?"

"I'm just an ordinary high school student; how could I have the spare time to read a document with so many words? I skip the player guidelines in games entirely."

Although Bai Xuan's expression was very calm, Huo Yu had the distinct feeling that the way he looked at her was as if he were looking at an idiot.

"After joining the Spirit Energy Bureau, we will adjust your benefits and compensation based on the strength and talent you demonstrate."

"If your talent is good enough, we will assign you a private villa and training grounds, as well as professional personnel for sparring and high-energy food. Besides that, you can make requests at any time; as long as they aren't too excessive, they can be granted."

"As for resources, that also depends on the strength and talent you display. The better your talent and the stronger your power, the more resources you will be allocated."

"And what we need to do is deal with the various strange beasts and Ferocious Beasts that have changed due to the Reiki Revival and are causing harm to humanity."

"That's all for now. After all, the Reiki Revival has only just begun, and the Spirit Energy Bureau was only established recently, so the systems and such aren't exactly perfect yet."
