Good morning, Jiang Mian.

As soon as Jiang Mian sat down in the window seat in front of her, the boy at the next table greeted her warmly.

The boy's name was Wang Chen. He was short and thin, which is why he was able to sit in the front row with her.

However, he was one of the few students in the class who successfully awakened, and although he was at the bottom of the rankings, he was still much better than the average person.

Good morning~

Jiang Mian waved his hand and responded weakly.

As soon as I sat down, drowsiness overwhelmed me.

She moved the mountain of textbooks on the desk, put the annoying glasses aside, and lay down on the desk.

Jiang Mian didn't notice that after she looked away, Wang Chen stole several glances at her.

Because of her sleepiness, her small mouth was slightly open, and the soft flesh of her cheeks pressed against her arms, squeezing into a small ball, seemingly without any defense.

Under the bright lights, her pink lips reflected an alluring sheen.

Wang Chen felt that even the school beauty who was rumored to be highly regarded couldn't compare to his own deskmate, who usually didn't have much of a presence.

It seemed to be his imagination, but he felt that his deskmate's personality had become a little strange over the past month.

How to put it... I seem to be more relaxed when I'm with myself.

Was it a failed awakening that triggered a reaction?

Or perhaps...?

Jiang Mian adjusted her posture somewhat uneasily, and Wang Chen quickly looked away, afraid that she would notice.

"School desks are still the best for sleeping..."

She thought vaguely.

Anyway, most people have already been injected with the awakening drug, and only six or seven lucky ones in the class have become awakened, which is considered average.

After the awakening, the tense atmosphere in the class suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.

Those who haven't awakened mostly resign themselves to their fate and start to slack off, while those who have awakened rarely come back. Those like Wang Chen who are still in the class all have their own reasons.

So even if Jiang Mian is sleeping soundly and casually, no one will say anything.

Anyway, she was always like this before. Because she had to work at night, she always looked sleepy, which suited her name.

The teacher on the podium glanced at it, then continued reading the book in his hands, unfazed.

She knew about Jiang Mian's family situation; their circumstances were as bad as they could possibly be. She feared that after graduation, Jiang Mian wouldn't even continue her studies and would go straight to work...

In the morning, the school's curriculum mainly consists of basic subjects such as mathematics and science.

As for humanities... there's only one subject, Chinese, and it's only taught once every few days.

In the afternoon, there is only one physical education class, and it consists of three or four consecutive periods.

The content has also changed from before. Compared to the laissez-faire physical education classes in Jiang Mian's previous life, he is now actually teaching things.

For example, basic combat training.

However, the teacher will teach; whether you learn or not is up to you.

Although Jiang Mian wanted to learn some techniques before, he seemed to be "hungry" and always felt weak, so his movements were more like fancy moves than actual fighting.

She spent her morning classes in a daze, and when she got to the cafeteria, she saw the food in front of her with a wire attached, which made her feel nauseous.

Jiang Mian was so angry she laughed.

I haven't encountered a single good thing since I transmigrated, and sometimes it's so infuriating...

No, she doesn't have that anymore.

In short, it's very uncomfortable.

Jiang Mian threw away the food and returned to the classroom, thinking of reviewing the materials to see if there were any disasters she could handle.

The so-called calamity is actually a mist creature with special abilities.

Ordinary creatures in the mist don't have any special abilities; they are just extremely frightening in appearance and rely mainly on their strong physique and tenacious vitality.

Calamities, on the other hand, are different. They are like the awakened ones among them, possessing sequence abilities, and each individual has subtle differences, making them difficult to guard against.

However, there are also extremely weak ones among them, at most disgusting people. For example, the "little devil" at the end of the "Nightmare" path will always cling to a person's back and cannot be shaken off.

Just as she was taking advantage of the break between lunch and her lunch break to look up the calamity encyclopedia she had borrowed from the library, she suddenly felt the light in front of her being blocked by a tall figure.

She frowned and looked up.

It's Li Hao.

He was originally the worst student in the class and a troublemaker, but... he recently awakened the ability of Sequence 135, the [War] path, [Steel Bones].

In Jiang Mian's memory, Li Hao used to be a good-for-nothing who did nothing all day long, relying on his family's wealth.

In this world, he is a second-generation rich kid, and his father is an Awakened One who is neither here nor there.

Whether in her past life or now, she had little interaction with him.

But after Li Hao awakened, he probably became arrogant, with a sense of superiority evident in his expression.

At that moment, he was staring intently at Jiang Mian. When Jiang Mian looked at him, he curled his lips into a knowing smile.

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat, her scalp tingled instantly, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Damn it, how did I get targeted by this guy..."

How could she not know what that look meant?

"Jiang Mian!"

Sure enough, as expected, Li Hao's loud voice instantly attracted the attention of all the students in the classroom.

Several pairs of eyes focused on the two of them, filled with curiosity, excitement, and whispers of anticipation.

Jiang Mian stiffened, forced a polite smile, and said with a stiff upper lip:

"Li Hao, is there something you need?"

Although I felt disgusted, given my current identity... I should just keep up the act; it would be troublesome if I revealed anything unusual.

Seeing Jiang Mian's timid appearance, Li Hao became even more excited.

He stepped forward and, without saying a word, shoved the exquisite gift box into Jiang Mian's arms.

"This is for you."

Li Hao was full of confidence. With his status as an Awakened One, taking down a mere Jiang Mian was a piece of cake.

He had his eye on Jiang Mian for a long time. Although she wasn't as attractive as the girls outside of school, she was good-looking and had a clean and tidy demeanor, which always stirred up some wicked thoughts in him.

"I saw it in a boutique in the city center, and I thought it would suit you perfectly."

Jiang Mian lowered her head, her expression somewhat gloomy. According to her established persona, she could only politely decline.

No matter what I do, this guy will keep bothering me. So troublesome...

"This...this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Jiang Mian pushed the box back, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's not worth much money; it's just a meal for me."

Li Hao spoke nonchalantly, saying directly:

"Jiang Mian, I know you failed to awaken, and you must be feeling bad. But it's okay, as long as you become my girlfriend, I guarantee you'll never have to worry about making a living again."

Everyone present knew perfectly well that Li Hao's promise was unreliable, and now he was approaching Jiang Mian...

He simply wanted to find an easy "toy" to get his hands on.

Jiang Mian was the easiest target for him to get his hands on; once he got tired of her, he could just dump her without paying any price.

Jiang Mian resisted the urge to smash the box in his face, maintaining her timid and uneasy facade.

"Li, thank you for your kindness."

Her tone seemed to carry a strong sense of fear and unease.

"I'm sorry, I... I can't..."
