Yu Meiren

Monday.

Outside the gates of Superpower Academy.

Many students stood by the wall beside the entrance, backpacks slung over their shoulders.

Most ordinary students had heard of Superpower Academy since childhood. Many had even dreamed of attending it someday.

But now that the moment had arrived, everyone felt somewhat uneasy.

They were merely ordinary people, while every student at Superpower Academy was a superhuman. The gap between them was simply too great.

Ordinary people who had never trained could not even break a brick, while superhumans could easily smash through a wall with a punch. Some particularly powerful students could even knock down an entire building.

If they so much as bumped into one of those people, they might suffer broken bones at best and get sent spiraling into the sky at worst. It was rather frightening to think about.

"Salty Fish, over here!"

Just then, Zhang Shou saw Yu Xian approaching with a backpack on his shoulders and immediately called out with a smile.

Yu Xian strolled over and asked, "No wonder I didn't run into you on the way here. Did you spend the night at the office?"

"Yeah. Doctor Chen said that although my body can't grow stronger through training, I seem to have a data-based attribute panel. The values on that panel can be raised through training, which will improve all my abilities." Zhang Shou looked around before quietly explaining to Yu Xian.

Yu Xian nodded and did not pursue the subject. He glanced around and asked, "Aren't we going in?"

"This is Superpower Academy. Aren't you nervous?" Chen Ling appeared like a ghost, poking her head out from behind them and placing her hands on their shoulders as she asked curiously.

Yu Xian shook his head. "It's still just a school. Besides, we're not in the same classes as the Superpower Academy students. Let's go."

He took the lead toward the gates of Superpower Academy. However, at that moment, a sedan bearing a bat emblem stopped outside the entrance. Nora stepped out, and the students who had been whispering around them instantly froze, falling completely silent.

The blonde beauty's charm was overwhelming; ordinary students simply could not withstand it. The students from Third High School had at least seen Nora before, but students from the other schools had not. For a moment, they were all mesmerized by the perfect sight before them.

Then a voice pulled everyone's souls back.

"Morning, silly goose."

Yu Xian smiled when he saw Nora and greeted her.

Nora had been quite happy to see Yu Xian and the others, but the moment she heard his words, her face darkened.

She quickly stepped forward and stomped on Yu Xian's shoe, snapping back indignantly, "You're the silly goose."

Crack.

The hearts of many boys shattered at the sight of this handsome young man and beautiful young woman together.

"Student Nora, are you returning to your old class, or joining ours?" Chen Ling interjected.

Nora brushed back her hair. Realizing she was standing too close to Yu Xian, she took half a step back and answered, "I've already transferred schools, so of course I'm in the same class as you."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Yu Xian paid no attention to the footprint on his shoe and smiled.

Yu Xian walked in front, and everyone followed. Seeing Yu Xian and the others enter the school, the other students followed suit.

Not long after they passed through the gates, the trees on both sides suddenly began growing wildly. Dense clusters of flowers bloomed in the blink of an eye. More than a dozen students flew through the air, releasing colorful flames from their hands to form dazzling fireworks overhead, while lines of text appeared around them.

"Hello, new students!"

"Superpower Academy welcomes you!"

"Adversity is the greatest school for tempering a person."

"No matter how long the night, day will eventually come."

"Every fall is for the sake of standing up better next time."

Students from Superpower Academy emerged from the dense woods. Some presented flowers to the newcomers, while others gave them small accessories.

At that moment, many Superpower Academy students stepped aside, and a beautiful, tall girl with long silver hair walked out. She smiled and said, "I am Yu Meiren, president of the student council. Welcome, everyone, to Superpower Academy. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you're welcome to come to the student council and find me."

Since Yu Xian stood at the front of the ordinary students, he could only politely express their thanks on their behalf.

However, as he looked into Yu Meiren's eyes, he felt something strange. It seemed there was no reflection of any of the ordinary students in her gaze.

Just for show?

Yu Xian's heart stirred slightly, but he maintained his smile on the surface.

Next, under Yu Meiren's guidance, everyone followed her toward the teaching building.

Teachers were already waiting at the entrance, and everyone entered their new classroom together.

At the classroom door, Yu Meiren repeatedly emphasized that they could come to her or the student council if they needed anything, and that any difficulty would be resolved for them.

Finally, Yu Meiren left with all the superhuman students, and only then did Yu Xian and the others begin being assigned to classes.

The ordinary classes at Superpower Academy's senior year were divided into two classes: Senior Class One and Senior Class Two.

Basically, students from the same school were assigned to the same class. Since Yu Xian had saved quite a few students in time, Class One was almost entirely made up of Third High School students, though they had not all been in the same class before.

Because of the Aberrant Insect Incident, everyone had already crossed paths before. After taking their seats, they quickly became acquainted.

Quite a few students had even brought gifts and stepped forward to thank Yu Xian and the others for saving their lives. More than a dozen students whom Zhang Shou had treated showed them particular respect.

Yu Xian, Zhang Shou, Nora, and Chen Ling sat on the left side of the classroom, taking the first and second seats in the third and fourth rows respectively.

"I didn't expect the students at Superpower Academy to be so warm and friendly. I thought they'd look down on us." Chen Ling sat to Nora's right and said with a smile.

Nora said matter-of-factly, "They're not idiots. Why would they do something like that?"

If any student dared to discriminate against ordinary students enrolling today, they might discriminate in the morning, make national headlines online by afternoon, and get publicly condemned across the country by evening. The authorities might even quietly step in to make such fools understand who was in charge of this country.

Now that the student council had organized all the superhuman students in the school to warmly welcome the surviving ordinary students, they could not only earn the goodwill of people across the country, but also bring prestige to the student council.

Even if some students held different opinions, Yu Meiren would ruthlessly suppress them with her methods.

"Oh, right. This is for you."

Nora sat in front of Yu Xian. She turned around and, wearing gloves, placed an enormous silver ingot on his desk.

She had previously promised Yu Xian twenty pounds of silver, but after Roch took her back to the manor, she had never had a chance to give it to him. At last, she had fulfilled her promise.

"Wow, that's such a huge chunk of silver!" Zhang Shou said, eyes wide.

Silver was now priced about the same as gold. It was not just the Blood Clan buying it up; governments around the world were purchasing silver too. Wizards, Taoist priests, and other professions also required silver.

It was said that wizards could use alchemy to refine silver together with several other metals and materials into mithril.

For all these reasons, silver's price on the international market rose every year.

"Thanks."

Yu Xian picked up the silver and bit it, confirming that it was very pure before smiling.

"Rich lady, I'm hungry. Feed me." Zhang Shou looked at Nora with a fawning expression.

Nora placed a bullet on Zhang Shou's desk and said disdainfully, "I'm a Vampire. I don't need to eat. No rice, but bullets will fill you up. Want one?"

"Nicely done." Chen Ling immediately said with a smile.

Zhang Shou hurriedly conceded defeat, but then quietly pocketed the bullet. This was an extremely expensive Explosive Bullet.

After the four of them joked around for a while, Yu Xian's and Zhang Shou's phones chimed with text notifications at the same time. They both took out their phones, and Chen Ling noticed that their phones were identical. They looked somewhat like official-use phones!

After reading the text message Jin Sheng had sent, Yu Xian and Zhang Shou exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly.
