Nora, the Transfer Student

Thirty percent of the entire school had been parasitized...

Yu Xian arrived at school and carefully observed all the students during the morning exercises. The result made his heart sink.

Silver City's situation was probably even worse than Rongcheng's, and exposure was only a matter of time. Once the parasites were exposed, it would only be a matter of time before he was implicated as well.

This was urgent. The situation could explode at any moment.

I have to do something!

Yu Xian returned to the classroom, took out his phone, and carefully looked through the various reports on the Rongcheng massacre.

These parasites had officially been named "Aberrant Insects" six months ago, but their means of transmission remained unclear.

However, according to research, once an Aberrant Insect's eggs entered a living body, they would rapidly enter the circulatory system and eventually "take root" in the heart, where dense tendrils would emerge from their shells.

These tendrils could release a fluid that numbed a living creature's sense of pain, then silently devour the host's flesh and blood through the blood vessels until only the host's brain remained.

At this stage, the host still retained their self-awareness, but lost all ability to sense the outside world. They could only fear and despair in endless darkness. It was an immense form of psychological torture.

When the host reached their deepest despair, the Aberrant Insect would gradually consume their brain. Once it had finished, it would instinctively imitate all the host's behaviors from before their death, becoming almost indistinguishable from the real person.

This imitation allowed Aberrant Insects to hide effectively.

Moreover, in the process of imitating the host, the Aberrant Insect would gradually realize that it was not truly the host, but an independent individual possessing the host's intelligence.

If the host was human, the Aberrant Insect would gain human intelligence, becoming exceptionally cunning and difficult to deal with.

This was the Aberrant Insect's ultimate form.

Because large numbers of eggs had been found inside Aberrant Insects in this form, it had been named the Adult Form.

Several Adult Forms had appeared during the Rongcheng massacre. In the end, several Ant-Class Police and a large number of special police officers had to be sacrificed to eliminate them. Even so, quite a few people had still disappeared.

The authorities believed that these missing people were likely Adult Form Aberrant Insects, and they were still being hunted.

If she still has consciousness...

After Yu Xian finished reading the various materials on Aberrant Insects, the image of the little girl greeting him that morning inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

Unconsciously, his hand gradually tightened, and countless tiny cracks instantly appeared across his phone screen.

Fuck!

Snapping back to his senses, Yu Xian discovered that he had squeezed his phone until the screen had gone black. He hurriedly checked it in a panic.

After selling the factory and shop, his only source of income was the rent from a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. If he did not spend carefully, who knew when he would save enough money to buy silver?

Noon.

A sudden commotion came from outside.

Then the students in the classroom followed the noise out, all leaning over the corridor railing to look downstairs.

"Slacker, huge news! That Blood Clan little princess transferred to our school," Zhang Shou said excitedly as he came in from outside.

Yu Xian frowned. "Our school is just an ordinary school. What could she possibly learn here?"

Superpower Academy taught knowledge about the supernatural world, completely different from ordinary schools. Could it be that he had been exposed, and Nora had come to kill him?

"I don't know, but she really did come. And she's gorgeous—definitely the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Zhang Shou said excitedly.

At that moment, Chen Ling entered the classroom, her face full of excitement. "Do you know why the Blood Clan little princess transferred to our school?"

"You know again?" Zhang Shou looked at Chen Ling in surprise.

Chen Ling proudly lifted her head and chest, wrinkling her nose with a smile. "Who do you think I am? There's no news in Silver City No. 3 Middle School that I can't dig up."

"As expected of our class's gossip queen. So hurry up and tell us—why did the little princess come to our school?" Zhang Shou asked curiously.

Chen Ling looked around and lowered her voice. "This goes back to when the little princess was attacked. You probably wouldn't guess it, but the people who attacked her were all ordinary people!"

"What does that have to do with her transferring here?" Zhang Shou asked in confusion.

Chen Ling smugly said, "Zhou Jie from the next class is my best friend, and her second cousin works at the Public Security Bureau. Apparently, the investigation found that the people who attacked the little princess hadn't used any supernatural means. They were probably just a group of well-trained ordinary people armed with silver weapons. When that news reached the little princess's school, she was ostracized."

"That does sound pretty humiliating," Zhang Shou said, understanding.

If he had supernatural powers but still got bullied by a bunch of ordinary people, he would find it humiliating too.

The students at Superpower Academy thought highly of themselves and had never experienced the dangers of the real world. In their eyes, Nora losing to ordinary people was practically equivalent to disgracing the entire supernatural world. Naturally, they isolated and even excluded her.

Nora's position within the Blood Clan had already been awkward. On top of that, the students were not actually using violence against her. They mostly used cold violence to bully her, so even the Blood Clan could do nothing about it.

The Blood Clan was powerful, but it was not the only dominant force.

Not to mention the official forces capable of suppressing most other factions, even the Elf Clan, Witch Clan, cultivators, martial artists, and others all possessed the strength to contend with the Blood Clan.

In the end, Nora transferred schools.

Nora did not choose to attend a Superpower Academy in another city. Even if she transferred to one, students there might still hear about what happened and isolate or exclude her with cold violence.

Therefore, she might as well attend an ordinary school. After all, as long as vampires lived long enough, they naturally grew stronger and stronger.

At two in the afternoon, the class bell rang.

Old Chen, the homeroom teacher, entered the classroom. Then, under the gaze of every student, a girl with long golden hair, bandages wrapped around her right arm, and a cool, aloof temperament slowly walked in...

At that moment, time and space seemed to freeze, and every boy in the class unanimously changed the object of his dreams.

Even the girls were captivated by Nora's flawless beauty. As a supernatural creature, Nora was exquisitely beautiful, with looks far beyond ordinary people.

Although Silver City No. 3 Middle School had never selected a school beauty, from the moment Nora transferred there, the boys silently reached a consensus: she was the school's undisputed beauty.

"Starting today, student Nora will be studying with us..." Old Chen coughed. After the students came back to their senses, he continued rambling.

Nora swept her gaze across the class, then discreetly glanced at Yu Xian.

To be honest, 25 million was not 25 dollars. A cash flow that large was not difficult to trace, and combined with his age and gender, the Blood Clan had quickly identified Yu Xian after merely mobilizing its peripheral forces.

Originally, Tang Bo was supposed to lead people to capture Yu Xian, after which Nora would kill him.

But after learning Yu Xian's identity, Nora's father changed his mind. He ordered Roch, Tang Bo, and the others not to lay a hand on Yu Xian.

After all, Yu Xian had only just become a vampire, and he was close to Nora's age. He was undoubtedly an excellent whetstone.

If Nora could personally hunt him down and kill Yu Xian with her own strength, she would surely grow from the experience.

At the very least, if she encountered another attack, she absolutely could not stand there like a dumb goose waiting to be slaughtered.

Within the Blood Clan, a "father's" orders were absolute. That was why Nora had transferred here.

The information Chen Ling had heard was actually partly true and partly false.

Some students at Superpower Academy had indeed isolated Nora because of it, but Nora had not cared about those people at all. They were never part of the same circle to begin with, and she had never believed she needed to please anyone.

After introducing herself, Nora was assigned by the homeroom teacher to a seat in the fourth row on the right, directly level with Yu Xian.

Her first talent was Daywalker, and the second talent she awakened at the age of ten was Blood Flame. Although she desperately wanted to burn Yu Xian—the person who had turned her into a laughingstock throughout the academy—to death with a blast of Blood Flame, she did not act rashly.

In her view, Yu Xian possessed the same Daywalker talent as she did, so he probably had high resistance to light- and fire-based damage as well. She was not sure whether her Blood Flame could kill him outright.

If she failed, then with a vampire's recovery ability, combined with the strength advantage male vampires possessed, she might not be able to defeat Yu Xian.

So, she had prepared a secret weapon: a silver dagger!

What she needed to do now was get familiar with the students around her and lower Yu Xian's guard. Once Yu Xian relaxed, she would insert the dagger into his heart with lightning speed.

It would definitely kill him in one blow!
