Hand over Godzilla, and countries will beg me to eat nuclear waste.

It was exactly 2 PM.

The lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the spotlights on the stage came on.

Li Jianguo, the principal of Baijiang No. 3 Middle School, walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

Good afternoon, leaders, parents, and students.

clap clap clap! !

Applause erupted from the audience.

"Today, we are holding this celebratory banquet to celebrate the outstanding achievements of this year's Awakening Day."

Li Jianguo's voice resounded throughout the auditorium through the speakers: "This year, our school has a total of 1,320 students participating in the Awakening program. Among them, 152 students have awakened talents of level D or above, 58 students have awakened talents of level C or above, and 19 students have awakened talents of level B or above..."

"And what we are most proud of is that our school has produced a student with SS-level talent—Su Zhiruo!"

There was thunderous applause.

All eyes turned to Su Zhiruo in the corner.

Despite being introverted, Su Zhiruo stood up, nodded to everyone, and smiled politely.

"Su Zhiruo has awakened an SS-level spatial talent and has been admitted to Longjing University ahead of schedule," Li Jianguo continued loudly. "Let's congratulate her!"

Applause erupted again.

After Su Zhiruo sat down, Luo Yu whispered, "Congratulations."

"I've decided not to go to the capital," Su Zhiruo said, turning her head earnestly. "I want to go to Shanghai with you."

Luo Yu opened his mouth,

finally,

Just hold her hand.

As for being admitted to a university in the capital, it's not a big deal. For Su Zhiruo, who has SS-level talent, she has unlimited choice of schools.

On stage,

Li Jianguo continued to introduce other outstanding students.

"Rank B Fire-type, Li Ming."

Li Ming stood up, waved to the audience, his face full of pride.

"Class B Healing Department, Wang Ya."

"Zhang Hao, a B-rank Strength Enhancement type."

As each name was read out, the students stood up to receive applause.

Luo Yu sat in the corner, listening quietly.

he knows,

No one will call your name.

F-rank talent

They are not fit to be in this situation.

That's reality.

really,

After Li Jianguo finished reading the names of all the students who were at grade B or above, he began to introduce the guests.

"Today, we are honored to have with us Director Wang from the Baijiang City Education Bureau."

A middle-aged man in his fifties stood up and waved to the audience.

"And Chairman Chen of the Baijiang City Awakened Association."

A burly, bald man stood up and nodded in greeting.

"And representatives from several companies, all of whom came to recruit talent in advance."

A dozen or so business representatives dressed in suits sat in the audience, each with a professional smile on their face.

Li Jianguo put down the microphone, and the celebration banquet officially began.

The students began to have free time to talk with their parents, teachers, and business representatives.

Su Zhiruo was quickly surrounded by people.

"Su, I'm the HR manager from Xinghui Group. Our company specializes in training space-type awakened individuals. Would you be interested in joining our company after graduation?"

"Student Su, I am a representative from Tianqi Technology. Our company has the most advanced space-based training equipment."

"Student Su..."

A group of people rushed to hand out their business cards.

Su Zhiruo was at a loss; she was not good at handling this kind of situation.

Luo Yu stood beside her, decisively fending off some overly enthusiastic people for her: "Excuse me, she's still a student and isn't thinking about employment yet."

"..."

The company representatives glanced at Luo Yu with disdain in their eyes.

A person with F-level talent,

What right do they have to speak up for SS-level geniuses?

However, out of respect for Su Zhiruo, they didn't say much, just left their business cards and left.

at this time,

Li Ming walked over with a drink in hand.

He was accompanied by several students who had also awakened B-level talents.

"Congratulations, Su!" Li Ming said with a smile. "SS-level talent, a bright future awaits you."

"Thanks."

Su Zhiruo responded politely.

"hehe!"

The next second, Li Ming turned his gaze to Luo Yu, a mocking smile curving his lips.

"By the way, Luo Yu, what was your talent again? Why didn't I hear the principal call your name?"

People around looked over.

Luo Yu calmly stated, "Rank F, controlled by a mutated lizard."

"puff--"

One of Li Ming's students deliberately laughed out loud.

"Mutant lizard? What kind of talent is that? Is it for raising pets?"

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! An F-rank character can attend a victory celebration?"

"They're top students, so good grades give them special privileges."

"What's the use of good grades? In the world of Awakened Ones, talent is everything."

Laughter rose and fell.

Su Zhiruo's face darkened, and she snapped, "That's enough!"

"Oh dear, Su Tiancai is angry." Li Ming said, feigning concern, "We didn't say anything wrong, F-level talent is trash, that's a fact."

"You..." Su Zhiruo was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Luo Yu pulled her back and shook his head.

He looked at Li Ming and asked in a flat tone, "Finished talking again?"

"That's all," Li Ming shrugged.

"Then get lost."

Li Ming's smile froze again, and the people around him were also stunned.

What?

An F-class piece of trash,

How dare they tell a B-level Awakened to get lost?

"What did you say?" Li Ming's face darkened as he was told to get lost once again.

"I said, get out of my way," Luo Yu repeated, his tone still calm. "I'm not deaf, and you probably aren't either."

The voice has not fallen,

Li Ming's face turned bright red.

He had thought the victory banquet would make Luo Yu realize the harsh reality, but he hadn't expected that he would still be disregarded. He couldn't take it anymore, he really couldn't take it anymore!

next second,

Li Ming's eyes widened, and he raised his hand, flames suddenly erupting from his palm.

This is a B-rank fire-type talent. Although its spiritual power is insufficient, it can only unleash the power of an E-rank ability in front of it, but it is more than enough to deal with an ordinary person.

People around them stepped back.

Su Zhiruo quickly stepped in front of Luo Yu: "Li Ming, you dare to lay a hand on me!"

"Get out of the way," Li Ming said in a deep voice. "Today I'm going to show this piece of trash what the difference in talent really means."

but,

at this time,

A cold voice sounded.

"Do you want to get expelled for using your talents in school?"

Li Ming froze.

He turned his head and saw a young woman in business attire walking towards him.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with her long hair tied up, delicate features, tall figure, and an aura of cold elegance.

"Teacher Liu."

Li Ming awkwardly extinguished the flames.

The person who came was Liu Ruxue, Su Zhiruo's homeroom teacher.

Liu Ruxue stepped between the two and glanced at Li Ming: "The Awakened Association has clear regulations prohibiting the unauthorized use of innate abilities in public places. Violators will be fined at best, and have their Awakened certificates revoked at worst."

Li Ming's expression changed.

The Awakener Certificate serves as proof of identity for each Awakener; once it is revoked, it means the loss of all rights of an Awakener.

"I...I was just trying to scare him," Li Ming said stubbornly.

"Scarening me won't work," Liu Ruxue snapped, her tone displeased. "Go back to your seat."

“…………”

Li Ming gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

Before leaving,

He turned around and glared fiercely at Luo Yu.

"Luo Yu, you just wait."

Luo Yu ignored him.

Liu Ruxue turned around and looked at Luo Yu and Su Zhiruo with a serious expression.

"You two, come with me."

She turned and walked out of the auditorium.

Luo Yu and Su Zhiruo exchanged a glance and followed.
