"Do you have any steak? 5A?"

"You're not afraid of stuffing yourself this early in the morning?"

He was as speechless as ever.

It made her want to give him an over-the-shoulder throw straight onto his head.

The two ate breakfast together. Since they attended different high schools, they could only take the same bus and get off at different stops.

Lu Annuan attended an international school, where there were more rich kids. Even the uniforms were little skirts, completely different from Haiyang No. 2 Middle School's old-fashioned tracksuits.

Lu Annuan's fair calves were visible. She was a figure skater, with an astonishingly good figure and temperament. Even in her school uniform, she looked like a model.

"Did your school change its uniforms? They look better now," Lu Annuan asked curiously. Lu Ming somehow looked a little more handsome today, and his figure seemed a little better too.

It made her want to poke him with a finger.

"Could it be that I got more handsome?" Lu Ming asked.

Lu Annuan stuck out her tongue, not believing him at all.

Had he really gotten more handsome? Lu Annuan secretly looked at Lu Ming. His profile was handsome and striking, carrying the vibrant energy of youth beneath the sunlight. He was the kind of boy who could make a girl's heart flutter.

"Come to think of it, Magical Girls are pretty cool, but isn't it dangerous?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.

For an instant, Lu Annuan thought her identity had been exposed. She gave a light cough and said, "Most Evil Beasts can be easily dealt with by Magical Girls. As for the smaller number of stronger Evil Beasts, they're all on the official registry. Once they appear, they'll immediately be marked, and multiple Magical Girls will join forces to eliminate them."

"Then are there any really powerful guys that would make Magical Girls around the world unite to fight them?" Lu Ming asked.

"Of course not." Lu Annuan looked at him like he was a moronic childhood friend and spread her hands. "If something like that existed, the world would probably be about to end."

"If something like that really existed, what would you do then?" Lu Ming asked curiously.

Lu Annuan tilted her head and thought seriously. Her smooth, long black hair draped over her shoulders, making her look like a classical painting.

"If it really came to the end of the world, there wouldn't be anything we could do." Lu Annuan looked at Lu Ming and giggled. "The two of us could just stay together, sit on the sofa, and watch movies I like."

"Why movies you like?"

"It's the end of the world. Can't you let me have this?"

So that was what the future her wanted to do?

It was so simple that it seemed a little silly.

Even though she was clearly a very sharp person.

Lu Annuan waved a finger. "Anyway, Lu Ming, you don't need to worry about Evil Beasts. The Magical Girl Polaris will definitely protect us... protect you!"

"You're that sure?"

"Of course. I'd protect you even if I died."

Lu Annuan smiled softly. It was clearly a lighthearted sentence, yet when she said it, it felt like an undeniable truth of the world. Her eyes were direct and clear, making people unable to resist looking deeper.

"Alright, this is my stop. I'm getting off first!"

Lu Annuan got off the bus, feeling her heart beat a little fast.

A holy little deer that no one around her could see stood on Lu Annuan's shoulder and teased, "Your heart fluttered just now, didn't it? A Magical Girl's Love Heart made your magic power rise like crazy."

Love Heart could make a Magical Girl stronger.

"It didn't rise like crazy!" Lu Annuan sniffed. "It's just that Lu Ming is always so scatterbrained, so I have to protect him properly."

"Be careful someone doesn't snatch him away from you." Xiaomi sighed. "His constitution is very special. Maybe there's already a Magical Girl protecting him."

"I'd be happy if there were!" Lu Annuan said loudly, though for some reason she felt a little guilty. Seeing the students around her looking over, she blushed and hurried into the school.

Because a huge banner at the school read, "Congratulations to Class 3, Grade 11 student Lu Annuan for winning the Magic City Youth Figure Skating Championship."

This was too embarrassing!

Lu Annuan lowered her head, her face burning red, and walked so fast that her steps left afterimages.

Haiyang No. 2 Middle School's student council was strict and difficult to get into. Unlike other schools, its student council genuinely held power and even had its own treasury. All of this was thanks to the principal's trust in the current student council president.

Lu Ming and his deskmate Ran Yanyue were both members of the student council. Lu Ming served as the president's secretary, while Ran Yanyue was the academic and discipline committee member.

"You're late." Ran Yanyue looked at Lu Ming.

"I'm not late. I went to the bathroom just now. Li Deng can testify for me." Lu Ming pointed at the boy sitting behind him.

Ran Yanyue gave a noncommittal response. This was their first clash of the day.

Ran Yanyue was recognized as one of the four prettiest girls in Haiyang No. 2 Middle School. The other three were the student council president, the white Persian cat on the sports field, and the principal's six-month-old daughter.

No one could say she wasn't pretty.

Although Ran Yanyue was a student council member, she had once been a candidate for student council president. She lost by only a few votes, and the deciding votes had been Lu Ming's and his friends'. His reason was that the president's boobs were bigger than hers. Ran Yanyue only had an A cup. This was Ran Yanyue's first grudge against Lu Ming.

Ran Yanyue was a wealthy young lady from Bay District. She had excelled academically since childhood and was beloved by teachers and students alike. Being a top student had become one of her life goals, yet Lu Ming was somehow even more favored by teachers. Retired Teacher Wang was a renowned provincial special-grade teacher, yet he gave his precious fountain pen to Lu Ming, whose grades were far below hers. Ran Yanyue had lost again. This was her second grudge.

Ran Yanyue had always been a proper and outstanding student. Whether in family background or personal qualities, she far surpassed others. She was also highly accomplished in music, and along with Lu Annuan from the international school, was known as one of Haiyang's Twin Stars. She simply could not accept that she had lost to Lu Ming.

Yet the teachers had assigned the two of them to sit together. Naturally, Ran Yanyue began her offensive against Lu Ming.

How could these two grudges be repaid? Only through murder.

Murder was obviously impossible, so she could only use other standards to judge him.

From grades to sports, then from discipline to interpersonal relationships, Ran Yanyue disdained using despicable methods. She was a proud top student.

"What about the people who were late?" Lu Ming asked curiously.

"They're standing as punishment on the first floor." Discipline committee member Ran Yanyue sneered.

Lu Ming leaned out the window and looked down. A row of boys stood against the wall like Kamen Rider and Armor Hero.

The immortals stood in rows like hemp stalks.

When boys stood as punishment, this was how they imagined themselves.JPG.

"Don't lean over here!" Ran Yanyue frowned and pushed Lu Ming's head away. She sat by the window, so if Lu Ming leaned over, he would naturally get close to her.

She reached out to push him but failed to move him. Instead, her hand felt the contours of muscle.

Had this guy been working out lately? He seemed stronger.

"Where are you touching?!" Lu Ming hurriedly said.

Keep groping around, and I'm checking your phone.

Just then, the homeroom teacher entered carrying a stack of test papers. "There's a surprise math test today. It's a Jiangsu mock exam. No whispering. You have two class periods!"

The students immediately wailed. This was a hell-difficulty test!

Math?

Lu Ming thought about it. His math grades had been pretty average before, but after remembering his past life, he would probably be much stronger. After all, in his past life, he had just finished the college entrance exams and was at the peak of human intelligence.

"Heh." Ran Yanyue glanced at Lu Ming and gave a dismissive snort.

Looking down on me, huh?

"Want to make a bet?" Lu Ming asked. "Let's see who scores higher on this math test."

Ran Yanyue refused. "I don't deign to compete with someone who only gets eighty points in math."

As someone who averaged 130 points, she and Lu Ming were two entirely different life forms.

Would an immortal high above care about a monkey on the ground?

"If you win, I'll buy you a Mizone." Lu Ming smiled. "If I win... you write my name one hundred times."

"Are you insulting me?" Ran Yanyue frowned.

To Ran Yanyue, writing Lu Ming's name was more insulting than buying him a drink.

What a fucking insult!

Lu Ming nearly saw red. Writing my name is insulting to you? Is my name some kind of indescribable horror?

Take a look at your sanity meter.

Ran Yanyue thought about it. If Lu Ming lost, she could get a little revenge. Raising her fair chin, she said, "Fine."

Lu Ming heard the system's voice again.

[Ran Yanyue had always competed against you in high school, but when you attended college away from home, she often helped you. She was a kind girl who was not good at expressing herself. You regretted never being able to break through her cold defensive exterior. Mission: Defeat Ran Yanyue in the exam. Reward: Focus +1]

Ran Yanyue took the bait too.

My Stunningly Beautiful Sixteen-Year-Old Student Council President

Just like the opening bell of an underground arena beneath Tokyo Dome, the students of Class 2, Grade 11 immediately lowered their heads over their papers and entered battle mode.

Lu Ming also looked at the math test.

While the students around him groaned as they solved problems, Lu Ming, as one of thirty-seven, felt no pressure at all from the famously difficult Jiangsu questions.

Given a set of data: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. What is the variance of this data set?

If it had been a month ago, before he regained his memories, Lu Ming would have gotten stuck for a while. But now, after pausing briefly, he quickly worked out the answer.

Three-fifths!

No.

Five-thirds.

Beside him, Ran Yanyue only gave it a casual glance before quickly writing down the answer. She had thoroughly been molded by old-school Chinese education into a ruthless problem-solving machine.

Lu Ming truly had not expected it. Ran Yanyue had always disliked him. She was incredibly pretty, yet he had never seen her get close to any classmates. In anime terms, she was the aloof flower on a mountaintop, a rich young lady type. And yet after going to college, she would actually often help him.

Could it be that she lost her memory in the future, or got possessed by some female demon?

Otherwise, it was hard to imagine her helping anyone. With her serious personality, it would already be good enough if she did not keep picking at people's faults.

"Don't peek at my test paper." Ran Yanyue noticed Lu Ming's gaze and frowned, using her elbow to block her paper.

Who was peeking at you?!

Lu Ming snorted and lowered his head as well, shielding his own paper as he rapidly wrote.

Ran Yanyue glanced at him. They were already nearing the big math problems, so why was Lu Ming still writing so quickly? And why was he hiding his paper so tightly?

Could he be cheating?

Ran Yanyue knitted her pretty brows. If Lu Ming wanted to cheat, then as both the academic committee member and discipline committee member, she had to bring him to justice.

Just then, Lu Ming turned his test paper, exposing a corner. Ran Yanyue could not help glancing sideways. So I caught you now, didn't I? No wonder you dared bet against me, you despicable Lu Ming. I'll just...

In the corner of Lu Ming's paper, several words were written:

Naturally suspicious.

Bang!

Ran Yanyue was so angry that her leg jerked, and her knee slammed into the desk. Pain brought tears to the corners of her eyes. Seeing Lu Ming acting as if nothing had happened only made her angrier.

Damn it, damn it!

Meanwhile, another student was stuck on a problem and irritably knocked on the desk.

"Don't disturb the other students. Solve your questions quietly!" the homeroom teacher, seated imposingly at the podium, reprimanded.

"But Ran Yanyue did it too."

"She must have her own reasons for doing that. It has nothing to do with you."

Haiyang No. 2 Middle School truly put academic ability above all else.

No wonder our school's first-tier university admission rate is ten percent higher than the international school's. It really crushes human nature.

After one and a half class periods, Ran Yanyue was stuck on the final question. It used knowledge they had not learned yet, and even she could not solve it.

Lu Ming checked his paper and nodded. Just a mere math test—refined in an instant!

Handing it in!

Ran Yanyue was a little surprised, but she remained unaffected and continued writing.
