Hide the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
Just look at how those villagers kept calling him "Demon Fox" this and "Demon Fox" that. It was as if they had almost engraved the title of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki right onto Naruto Uzumaki's forehead!
The son of a great hero had received such treatment. He truly did not know how to describe how he felt right now.
It was also hard for him to imagine that, after enduring such treatment, his son could still be so sunny and so kind.
He did not know whether he should be happy or sad.
As a Hokage, of course he hoped his son could achieve that; but as a father, he wanted those who had hurt his son to receive the punishment they deserved.
Fortunately, he was still alive. Everything could still be changed.
So he was immensely grateful to the group owner for telling him this crucial future.
Son of Nature: "That's about it. You guys can keep chatting. I need to go to class."
Ordinary Group Owner: "."
Sure enough, no matter how many times she saw it, school still felt strange.
Bai Xuan did not know how Su Yunqing felt. He withdrew from the Chat Group simply because their homeroom teacher had already entered.
The thirty-minute morning reading session slipped by unnoticed amid everyone's impassioned discussions and grand visions. Even now, quite a few of them were still immersed in fantasies about the future.
They were completely unaware of the homeroom teacher's arrival.
The slightly balding teacher did not get angry at the sight of them. He leaned against the door, sipping wolfberry tea as he watched their performance.
In the past, as the room gradually grew quieter, the others would unconsciously lower their voices too until no one spoke at all. But today, perhaps because Psychic Powers were just too explosive a topic, they were far more absorbed than usual.
Several minutes passed, yet no one noticed the change.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"."
"Ow."
"Who hit me? Do you not know how formidable Brother is?"
"I'm the future grand fire archmage! Who dares hit me?"
"Wait, that strength... could it be..."
Several chalk stubs seemed to have been Lock-on onto their heads. The sudden pain snapped them awake, and they stood up angrily to search for the "enemy."
Then—
"Why did no one keep talking? Weren't you trying to show me how impressive you are?"
"Why isn't our future grand fire archmage saying anything either? How could a lowly homeroom teacher like me possibly afford to offend you?"
The homeroom teacher spoke in a sarcastic tone. The few students awkwardly scratched their heads and quickly sat up straight.
The homeroom teacher nodded slightly, took a sip from his teacup, and then said:
"I can understand your excitement. You awakened Psychic Powers, after all. I was just as excited as you last night, but—"
"Old Class Teacher, you awakened too?"
Before the teacher could finish, Sun Qiang asked with an incredulous expression.
It was one thing for students to awaken, but even teachers had awakened?
Then wouldn't his parents have awakened too? He had shown off in front of them that morning.
If they had awakened too, wouldn't he have made a fool of himself again?
"What, are you dissatisfied that I awakened?"
Old Class Teacher narrowed his eyes at Sun Qiang, already holding a chalk stub at the ready.
"No, no. I'm just a little surprised. Surprised."
Sun Qiang's body trembled, and he hurriedly laughed it off.
"Please continue, please continue."
Only then did Old Class Teacher put down the chalk and continue.
"The Psychic Power I awakened is called Lock-on. The specific explanation is too troublesome, so just think of it as an aimbot in a game. Any attack will strike wherever I lock onto."
"Holy crap, an aimbot? Wouldn't that be Invincibility in the early stages if you paired it with a gun or bow?"
Upon hearing that his homeroom teacher possessed such a cheat-like Psychic Power, not only the other students but even Bai Xuan could not help smacking his lips.
This ability was ridiculously powerful in the early stages!
Whether using a bow or firearms, with this Psychic Power, he would be practically unbeatable.
"Ahem, don't be so surprised. My ability has a range limit too."
"Right now, it only reaches about seven or eight meters."
Old Class Teacher coughed twice and explained.
"Now that makes more sense. Otherwise, it'd be too absurd."
"If it really ignored distance, I could kill someone from halfway across the globe. A real-life version of Let the Bullets Fly."
"Thank goodness."
Hearing about that limitation, everyone finally settled down. Still, this ability was undeniably terrifying.
"Alright, quiet down and listen to me. You'll have plenty of time to talk later."
"The country places great importance on Psychic Powers, and the school has received orders from higher-ups to conduct relevant investigations and cooperate."
"So, everyone who has awakened an ability, stand up."
"."
The students looked left and right, yet not a single one stood up.
Their faces all said, "I didn't awaken a Psychic Power, don't look at me."
"You've watched too many Lighthouse movies."
The homeroom teacher was speechless. He had never expected his students to be so "reserved." Weren't they chatting quite happily before he entered?
"We're Huaxia, not Lighthouse. No one is going to seize you for research."
"Besides, with this awakening rate, the military has plenty of Psychic Power users and plenty of volunteers willing to be researched. It won't be your turn no matter what."
"You're all so young, yet you've got plenty of tricks up your sleeves."
"Honestly."
As he spoke, Old Class Teacher almost wanted to laugh. The students in his class were each stranger than the last.
"Alright, alright, I'll be direct."
"Those who awakened abilities will come with me to the field later to demonstrate them."
"Then you'll be registered."
"The records will be kept, and you can get extra points on the college entrance exam."
"What do you all think your country is like? Huaxia is the safest country in the world. Have a little faith in your own country, seriously."
Although the homeroom teacher had mocked them a little, they did not feel particularly embarrassed.
After all, this concerned their lives. Who would not be cautious?
But it was only registration.
"Old Class Teacher, will the country form some kind of Psychic Power user association? Like the Avengers or Dragon Squad?"
Zhang Weiyang asked excitedly.
"After all, this is a large-scale awakening of abilities. It can't be limited to humans alone. Those beasts, insects, and plants might awaken too."
"Maybe in the future, they'll compete with us for the position of Earth's dominant species."
"The country will definitely establish an organization to resist them, right?"
He had always yearned for the secret organizations in novels that silently protected the country. For a time, he had even obsessively searched online for such mysterious groups, but found nothing.
All he found were things from novels.
