The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

The young boy was quite agile; though small in stature, he was very nimble, rolling on the ground once. His simple clothes were slightly dusty, but he quickly got up, dusted himself off, and smiled at the female coachman on the carriage, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. If I have money in the future, I might pay you back."

"Hmph!" The female coachman reined in her horse and drove off.

Some people who came from the neighborhood to see him off or register couldn't help but laugh: "There are still people who ride for free. It's a miracle they weren't beaten up."

Lorenwei didn't care about the stares of those around her and just followed the crowd.

At that time, she looked like an ordinary boy, and no one paid any attention to her.

Following the flow of people, it was easy to reach the exam registration point.

This is a large square made of bluestone, with many different kinds of people.

"Wow, what if I don't pass the exam? I'm already nervous even before I've registered."

"St. Visian Moonlight Academy! I'm finally going to apply!"

Test takers have all sorts of mindsets.

"Don't worry, you're the best in our town!"

Some parents came from nearby towns to accompany their children to the exam.

Lorenwei looked around but didn't see the headmaster's carriage.

She had already anticipated that they wouldn't be there in person, but would observe remotely using magic crystals or other means, but Lorenwei couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Although students often find their parents nagging, they still hope for a word of encouragement before the exam.

"Hey, Vivi..."

Suddenly, a voice called her softly.

Lorenwei was startled and looked around.

"Here!" There was a large clump of low bushes at the edge of the square, where Jason was squatting.

Those middle-aged women are still chasing me everywhere; I don't know why they're so persistent. Jason felt a pang of resentment.

Lorenwei was startled and quickly went over: "Jansen, what are you doing here?"

She rarely called him "Dad," but at that moment she noticed Jason hiding in the bushes, his clothes somewhat tattered.

"You're running too fast. I was just thinking of cheering you on, knowing you'd definitely come here." Jason said with an air of self-assurance, as if he were a genius.

If it weren't for his disheveled appearance, Lorenwei might have believed him.

"Keep it up, Weiwei! I also want to remind you that the Weakness Ring will lower your physical attributes, so it won't give you many extra points when you're taking the aptitude test." Jason encouraged her while reminding her, "Your mom didn't tell you this because she wanted you to suffer a little, so you wouldn't always rely on the talent your parents gave you."

"I understand. The reason I was brought here this time is to try my best in an ordinary capacity and find a way to develop my talents."

"It's good that you understand. Be careful and don't cause trouble, especially don't get into conflicts with people easily, especially nobles. Remember that you are just a commoner now."

“Thanks for reminding me.” Lorenwei nodded, then suddenly remembered, “Oh right, Jason, do you have any silver coins? I forgot when I separated from Mom, and now I want to keep some pocket money.”

“No problem.” As soon as the good father, Jason, heard that his obedient daughter (?) had a request, he immediately started searching his person.

I searched through my pockets for ages...

"No?"

"Haha, how is that possible?"

"Then give it to me."

“Uh…” Jason was sweating.

"..." As expected, Aisser had emptied his pockets.

With your cleverness, how could your mom possibly let you out have any money on you?

"Ahem, Lorenwei, have you forgotten why you started this training?" Jason was still acting like a good father, but he earnestly taught his child, "Hey, when you go out into the world, don't rely on your parents for help."

"Tch~ Just say you're controlled by your mom and don't have money." Lorenwei pouted, waved, and left.

"Be careful!" Jason wanted to remind him again.

Lorenwei walked away.

Still worried about the child, Jason wanted to chase after him, but hesitated and stopped.

As the child, who was already as tall as his own chest, gradually disappeared into the distance, the great sage Jansen suddenly felt a strange sadness.

The child is growing up, and I can't always protect her by my side.

Yes, heartless parents are good parents.

Lorenwei, the sky in the distance belongs to you! No matter how great the difficulties, you can grit your teeth and get through them!

goo goo-

Aside from diarrhea, I can get through it all...

Jason clutched his stomach and went to find a toilet.

Chapter 018 Acquaintance, all because of a chicken leg

The large square for registering at Saint*Vision*Moonlight Optical Park.

The first step is identity registration.

Lorenwei began the first step of registration. What a long line! First, she had to queue.

Although the scene was noisy, the order was relatively good. Because it was the registration day, everyone was very reserved and well-behaved, fearing they might leave a bad impression or even a negative record.

"Come on, come on, you can do it!" someone cheered themselves on while waiting in line.

Just like before, the test takers had a variety of mindsets.

The world hadn't yet developed to the point where there were things like identification, and Lorenwei thought of her name while waiting in line.

Forget it, simplicity is good, let's just call him Loren.

She noticed a crystal array at the scene used to detect illusions. As a former hero, she had seen it more than once.

This magic array can purify illusions to prevent demons from disguising themselves as humans and infiltrating the area. However, it has no effect on detecting S-rank treasures like the Weakness Ring, or even on kings among high-ranking demons.

Of course, how could a demon king-level being possibly apply here? Those kinds of people are all exceptionally talented and disdain to associate with humans, so there's no way a king among the high-level demons would participate!

Lorenwei is very clever and good at reasoning; all she needs is a pair of glasses to help her figure it out.

After waiting in line for a long time, Lorenwei was getting a little bored and started looking around.

Occasionally, a carriage would pass by, and after showing their noble status token, they would pass through smoothly, clearly without having to queue.

Several nobles also arrived on foot, though they were accompanied by servants carrying their belongings.

As for ordinary people like myself, most of us carry small burdens.

Ah, I don't have any little baggage... Lorenwei was a little embarrassed.

I haven't been out for so long that I've lost all my normal life experience.

Lorenwei pondered to herself that, given Aisser's meticulous nature, she must have thought of this. But she didn't remind herself; she probably wanted her to suffer a little so that she could gain experience venturing out on her own.

No need to worry about not having any personal belongings; you can just ask the star player and the headmaster for them anytime.

Just then, a young nobleman boy, surrounded by his entourage, passed by Lorenwei, and the look in his eyes made her uncomfortable.

It was a contemptuous look that disregarded ordinary people queuing up.

As the portly nobleman walked directly past the queue, he deliberately flashed his noble status badge to those around him while being checked by the order maintainers, holding his chin high.

Although most nobles do not have such blatant misdeeds, there are such people everywhere, and Lorenwei felt contempt for them.

Just then, a luxuriously decorated noble carriage passed by.

Suddenly something was thrown out of the carriage window.

Lorenwei dodged slightly, but luckily her reaction was quick and she was almost hit.

pat-

It was a chicken leg, which fell to the ground with a soft thud. It still had a lot of torn skin and flesh attached, meaning only half of it had been eaten.

The people on the bus didn't care whether they were embarrassed or not, nor did they look outside.

Lorenwei gave the carriage the middle finger.

If it were any other day, he would definitely have found an explanation.

Those around them ignored it.

"Hey—! That carriage! Who lost it? It almost hit someone!" a girl's voice called out.

A girl wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat jumped out from the queue behind Lorenwei.

She ran a few steps, picked up the chicken leg bone next to Lorenwei, sniffed, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it hard at the carriage.

Unfortunately, although she threw the chicken leg bone very accurately, she was a little too slow coming from behind, and the carriage had already gone far away.

"Damn it! Wasting food will get you tongue-cut out by the mountain monsters!" the girl cursed at the carriage, then went straight back to her original spot in the long queue.

People maintaining order at the scene immediately came over: "You can't be disrespectful to nobles!"

"It's better to avoid trouble than to cause more."

"If that nobleman takes it to heart, it would be a terrible situation."

Like the sweltering summer breeze, the voices of those around me seemed incessant.

"Hmph!" The girl rolled her eyes and ignored her. She just smelled her hands, hesitated for a moment, bent down and wiped the grease off her trouser legs, and continued to queue.

She definitely wanted to lick the oil stains on her hands just now... Lorenwei suddenly had that feeling.

Maybe you even considered taking a couple of bites before throwing away the chicken leg...

Lorenwei recognized her; this was the strange girl in the cotton-padded coat who had noticed her gaze in the carriage earlier.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes are especially amusing when she rolls them, and with a flick of her half-long red hair and a pout of her small mouth, she perfectly conveys her disdain.

"She's got quite a temper," Lorenwei thought, turning back to look at her. Forget about throwing the chicken leg back; that eye roll alone was far more effective than her own middle finger.

Still indignant about the nobleman's inappropriate behavior, Meilan quickly noticed that Lorenwei was paying attention to her and immediately frowned.

Who is this boy? He seems so special to me.
