The Future Grand Magus? Superpower Lock-on

Chapter 9: Future Grand Archmage? Superpower—Lock-on

Hide the identity of the Nine-Tails jinchuriki?

Looking at those villagers calling him Demon Fox left and right, they might as well have just plastered the title of Nine-Tails jinchuriki right onto Naruto Uzumaki's forehead!

That the son of a hero should receive such treatment left him truly at a loss for how to express his current feelings.

He also found it hard to imagine how his son could remain so sunny and kind after enduring such treatment.

This left him not knowing whether to be happy or heartbroken.

As the Naruto, he naturally hoped his son could reach such a level; but as a father, he hoped those who hurt his son would receive the punishment they deserved.

Fortunately, he was still alive, and everything had the possibility of being changed.

Therefore, he was immensely grateful to the Group Owner for telling him about this crucial future.

Son of Nature: "That's about it, you guys chat slowly, I have to go to class."

Ordinary Group Owner: "."

As expected, no matter how many times I see it, the whole "going to school" thing still feels so strange.

Bai Xuan did not know how Su Yunqing felt; the reason he withdrew from the Chat Group was simply because their Old Class Teacher had already entered.

The thirty minutes of morning reading time slipped away unconsciously amidst everyone "pointing out the mountains and rivers and stirring up the words," and even now, many were still immersed in fantasies about the future.

They were completely unaware of the Old Class Teacher's arrival.

The Old Class Teacher, whose hair was slightly thinning, didn't get angry at their appearance; he just leaned against the door, sipping his goji berry tea while watching their performance.

In the past, as the volume of noise grew lower, others would unconsciously lower their voices until no one was speaking; but today, perhaps because the matter of Superpower was too explosive, they were more deeply immersed than ever before.

Several minutes passed, and still, no one noticed the change.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"."

"Ouch."

"Who threw that at me? Do you not know how powerful your Brother is?"

"I am a future Fire-element Grand Archmage, who dares to throw things at me?"

"Wait, this force... could it be?"

Several chalk pieces flew directly toward their heads as if they had been hit by a Lock-on, and the sudden pain brought them back to their senses, causing them to stand up and angrily search for the "enemy."

Then...

"Why is no one talking? Didn't you want me to see how powerful you are?"

"Why isn't our future Fire-element Grand Archmage saying anything? How could a lowly Old Class Teacher like me afford to offend you?"

The Old Class Teacher spoke with a sarcastic tone, and the few students scratched their heads in embarrassment, quickly straightening up and sitting properly.

Nodding slightly, the Old Class Teacher took a sip from his teacup and said:

"I can understand your excitement. You've awakened a Superpower, right? I was just as excited as you were last night, but..."

"Old Class Teacher, did you awaken one too?"

Before the Old Class Teacher could finish, Sun Qiang asked with an incredulous look on his face.

It was one thing for classmates to awaken, but even the teacher had awakened?

Wouldn't that mean his parents might have awakened too? He had been showing off in front of them this morning.

If they had also awakened, wouldn't he have made a fool of himself again?

"What, are you dissatisfied that I awakened?"

The Old Class Teacher narrowed his eyes at Sun Qiang, a piece of chalk already prepared in his hand.

"No, no, I was just a little surprised, just surprised."

Sun Qiang's body trembled, and he quickly laughed it off.

"You continue, please continue."

Only then did the Old Class Teacher put down the chalk and continue.

"The Superpower I awakened is called Lock-on. The specific explanation is too troublesome, but you can think of it as an aim-bot in a game; any attack will strike the place I have locked onto."

"Damn, an aim-bot? If this were paired with a gun or a bow and arrow, wouldn't it be invincible in the early stages?"

Hearing his Old Class Teacher's seemingly cheat-like Superpower, not only the other students but even Bai Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

This ability was simply too fierce in the early stages!

Whether using a bow and arrow or firearms, combined with this Superpower, it was almost impossible for anyone to be a match for him.

"Ahem, don't be so surprised; my ability has a range limit."

"It's currently only about seven or eight meters."

Old Class Teacher coughed twice to explain.

"That sounds more like it; otherwise, it would be too exaggerated."

"If it truly ignored distance, I could kill someone from halfway across the globe. It would be a real-life version of Let the Bullets Fly."

"That's a relief."

Hearing about this limitation, the crowd finally calmed down, though it went without saying that the ability was still terrifying.

"Alright, settle down and listen to me; you'll have plenty of time to talk later."

"The state attaches great importance to this matter of Psychic Power, and the school has received orders from superiors to conduct relevant investigations and cooperation."

"So, everyone who has awakened an ability, stand up."

"."

The students looked left and right, but not a single person stood up.

They all wore expressions that said, "I haven't awakened any Psychic Power, don't look at me."

"You've watched too many Lighthouse movies."

Old Class Teacher was somewhat speechless. He never expected his students to be so "reserved." When he hadn't entered the room yet, weren't they chatting quite happily?

"We are Huaxia, not Lighthouse; no one is going to capture you for research."

"Besides, given the awakening rate of this Psychic Power, there are plenty of psychics in the military, and plenty of volunteers willing to be studied. It wouldn't be your turn anyway."

"You're all so young, yet you have so many schemes."

"Honestly."

As he spoke, Old Class Teacher almost wanted to laugh. The students in his class were truly one more eccentric than the next.

"Alright, alright, I'll just be blunt."

"Those who have awakened abilities, follow me to the sports field later to demonstrate your powers, and then we will register them."

"These files will be kept on record, and you can get bonus points for the college entrance exam."

"What kind of place do you think your country is? Huaxia is the safest country in the world; have a little confidence in your own country, seriously."

Although they were teased by Old Class Teacher, they didn't feel particularly embarrassed.

After all, when it concerned their own lives, who wouldn't be cautious?

But it was just registration, after all.

"Old Class Teacher, will the state form a Psychic Association? Like the Avengers or the Dragon Squad?"

Zhang Weiyang asked with a hint of excitement.

"Since this is a large-scale awakening of abilities, it can't be limited to just us humans. Those wild beasts, insects, and plants might also awaken."

"Perhaps in the future, they will compete with us for the position of ruler of the Earth."

"The state will definitely form forces to resist them, right?"

He was incredibly fascinated by the organizations that existed in novels, silently hiding and protecting the country. For a time, he had even frantically searched the internet for these mysterious organizations, but he had found nothing.

Everything he found was just stuff from those novels.
