Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

"Challenge them?"

Upon hearing those two words, the audience was initially stunned, but then erupted into a frenzy.

"Damn it, who dares to mess with our class's dorm? Step forward, I'll teach them a lesson!"

"Was it No. 2 Middle School? When I came in just now, I saw a bus, and everyone getting off was wearing No. 2 Middle School uniforms."

"It's them! My brother's inside, and he said he's going to beat me up later, hehehe—my stupid little brother."

Upon hearing the words "Second Middle School," Chu Ge subconsciously thought of his older brother.

He studied at No. 2 Middle School. Could it be that the person who came this time was from his class?

She remembered that Chu Hong had said before that he got first place in the monthly exam.

He's most likely here this time too, perhaps even as a representative.

Chu Ge's gaze swept casually over the entire class. Almost everyone was filled with excitement, rubbing their hands together, eager to try.

Especially Xu Wan, Chu Ge could hear her low, cold laugh from a distance: "The king cannot be insulted! It's time to let those ants from No. 2 Middle School see the power of the Great Emperor Xu Wan."

"Students."

Wang Jian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and slowly began to speak:

"As you expected, this is a friendly competition between No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School. The other team is already waiting at the stadium."

"Let's make friends through martial arts. When we meet later, no swearing is allowed. Show some manners, understand?"

Wang Jian's gaze deliberately swept over several troublemakers in the class, especially landing on the chubby boy, for fear that he would start spouting sarcasm as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?" Little Fatty pouted. "I'm not that kind of person."

"Not ideal." Wang Jian nodded, then gave the order, "Now, everyone, head to the stadium immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Inside Stadium No. 1.

As soon as the group entered the venue, they saw a group of teenagers wearing the uniforms of No. 2 Middle School chatting and laughing together.

"I heard the matchups are by drawing lots, and I really hope I run into my stupid older brother in the first round. He stole my phone last time to confess to my crush, which made me lose face. I have to tear him apart today."

"Just wait and see, these guys from No. 1 Middle School are nothing special."

"Don't be careless. There are still a few tough guys at No. 1 High School. I heard there are quite a few mid-level mages."

"Heh, no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than that siscon?" Someone scoffed, thinking of the guy who always had "Imo-chan" on his lips and ignored even the school beauty's confession.

Immediately, someone from No. 1 Middle School, feeling indignant, leaned over and sneered:

"What are you bragging about, bro? What sister complex? What kind of skills can someone from a lousy No. 2 Middle School have? I'll show you what the White-Haired Xiao Yan is all about in a minute."

"Let me put it this way: if Chu Ge unleashes his Buddha's Fury Lotus and doesn't kill you all, then you're out of luck."

The guy from No. 2 Middle School turned around, saw a chubby boy, and looked confused: "Wait, buddy, who are you...?"

"Good question." The chubby boy grinned. "You can call me Daddy."

"Damn! This kid is taking advantage of us!" someone immediately realized.

"Beat him up!"

Among the crowd of students from No. 2 Middle School, a handsome boy looked around and finally spotted the figure he had been longing for in a corner.

Chu Hong ran quickly to Chu Ge, his smile so bright it was almost blinding:

"Imo-chan, Onii-chan misses you so much! Have you missed Onii-chan too?"

Chu Ge glanced at him indifferently: "No."

"...Alright." A hint of sadness flashed across Chu Hong's face, but he still smiled and leaned closer. "Then, could Imo-chan give Onii-chan a warm hug?"

Chu Ge frowned slightly, annoyed that he was too close, and took a few steps back without making a sound.

Just as she was about to speak, a voice rang out first, heading straight for Chu Hong.

"Hey kid, please stay away from Chu Ge. She doesn't welcome you."

Tang Xiaoran kept her eyes fixed on Chu Ge. When she saw someone approaching and causing trouble, she immediately rushed over, spread her arms, and firmly protected Chu Ge.

Many people around noticed this and assumed it was another clueless guy trying to flirt with their school's most beautiful girl.

They were used to seeing this kind of scene.

"Silver Wing, the class representative for Chinese! Well done!"

"Awesome!"

After all, among all the people who had pursued Chu Ge in the past, none had ever seen anyone so handsome.

If someone really manages to kidnap the white-haired Xiao Yan, they'll only be able to hide under their blankets at night and be useless classmates from now on.

Chu Hong's smile vanished instantly upon seeing Tang Xiaoran suddenly appear, and his tone turned cold:

"Who are you? I'm talking to my Imo-chan, what's it to you?"

"I—" Tang Xiaoran was about to retort when she suddenly caught a key word and froze.

Imo-chan?

younger sister?

She turned to look at Chu Ge and asked, "Chu Ge, is this... pervert really your brother?"

"Yes," Chu Ge replied calmly.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, the other person was still a blood relative of hers and had always treated her very well.

"Do you believe me now?" Chu Hong looked at Tang Xiaoran. "If you believe me, then get out of the way quickly. I still have a lot to say to Imo-chan."

Tang Xiaoran looked up at the boy in front of her.

The way he looked at Chu Ge was all too familiar to her.

It was exactly the same as when she watched Chu Ge.

In his pupils, there was undisguised love, protectiveness, possessiveness, and even a hint of almost pathological obsession.

But... this isn't right.

Isn't he her brother?

Tang Xiaoran remained silent for a moment, but eventually stepped aside.

They are siblings catching up; she has no right or position to stop them.

She stepped back to a distance, watching Chu Hong and Chu Ge talking—even though Chu Ge barely paid any attention to them.

But Tang Xiaoran's heart sank little by little, as if it were being squeezed tightly by something.

A panic of impending loss of what was most important to me swept over me.

pain.

It hurts too much.

She's like a useless person holding a harpoon on a fishing boat, only able to watch others be happy.

"Thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump..."

True feelings are as vast as the grasslands, and no amount of wind or rain can sever them.

"There will always be a day when the sun rises and the clouds part, and the radiant sunlight shines upon us..."

Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling, the world is a vast expanse of white...

The catchy background music loops wildly in your ears, instantly transporting you to a snowy night in a phone booth.

Tang Xiaoran finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around abruptly, and glared fiercely at Xu Wan.

"Are you crazy?! Who gave you permission to play this song?!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'll change the song then." Xu Wan smiled awkwardly, took the phone back from Tang Xiaoran's ear, quickly changed the song, and jumped straight to the climax.

"Love is locked away outside the city, I wait in vain for my beloved to return."

"When time and space shatter, mountains and rivers turn to ash, and faces wither away."

"Leave love in the world, for endless reincarnation..."

Xu Wan looked at Tang Xiaoran earnestly: "Girl, how's this song? Doesn't it perfectly match your current mood?"

Tang Xiaoran: "..."

She was silent.

An unprecedented silence.

She looked at Xu Wan, speechless.

She looked in Chu Ge's direction, equally speechless.

After a long silence, he finally uttered two words:

"...That's not good either."

"What?!"

Xu Wan looked shocked, as if her worldview had been shattered: "I, the mighty NTR March, can't even win you over?"

"It seems you truly love her."

"Ranran, your cousin will never call you a simp again."

"From today onwards, you are—"

"Big licking dog."

Xu Wan truly felt that her best friend was beyond saving.

She heard everything just now.

They're clearly siblings, yet she's jealous of this? She's more jealous than a vat of vinegar.

"What do you know?" Tang Xiaoran looked at her, a bitter smile playing on her lips. "That guy is a pervert."

He fell in love with his younger sister.

Xu Wan was taken aback.

What does it mean to fall in love with your own sister?

Is it the kind she's thinking of?

She stared at Tang Xiaoran, her voice slightly dazed: "You mean... the kind of love Kasugano Haruka has for Kasugano Sora?"

"Otherwise what?"

Xu Wan: "..."

"hiss--"

She took a deep breath, her brows furrowed deeply, more deeply than ever before. "Wait... let me catch my breath."

At this moment, Xu Wan felt as if ants were crawling all over her body, and something inhuman was frantically attacking her cerebellum, causing her tonsils to become inflamed and infecting her brain. She believed that pasta should be mixed with No. 42 concrete because the length of the screws could easily affect the torque of the excavator...

She was confused.

After a long while, she suddenly uttered a version of Jack Ma's voice:

"Holy crap!"

Xu Wan used to think that she was special, which is why she didn't fit in with others and didn't have many friends.

Now she finally understood why she felt so out of place—

It's because I'm not twisted enough.

This world has become so insane that she can't understand it at all.

...Destroy it.

On the other side, Wang Jian was talking with the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 2.

He glanced at the time, stepped forward, and called out loudly:

"Students from No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools, please draw lots before the competition begins."

Those who draw the same number will enter the virtual arena to battle, and the winner will advance to the next round.

The lottery was over quickly.

Chu Ge drew number eight and would be playing in the eighth match. His opponent was a girl, a mid-level mage, who was said to be the school beauty of No. 2 Middle School.

"Imo-chan, Onii-chan is number one." Chu Hong leaned closer again, his tone gentle, "You'd better watch carefully later."

Chu Ge ignored him.

She vaguely remembered that there was someone who was also number one.

Not far away.

Xu Wan glanced at the lottery results, then looked at Tang Xiaoran with a surprised expression: "Girl, did you hear that? That guy is number one too."

"You two are really destined for each other."

Tang Xiaoran remained silent, her gaze fixed on Chu Hong, with only one thought in her mind.

Once she's on stage, she's determined to defeat him herself.

Wang Jian's gaze swept across the entire room, and his voice fell calmly:

"Everyone, put on your helmets and enter the virtual arena."
