“Okay.” Leng Yihan opened the box. In the center was a pitch-black crystal, emanating an ominous aura that practically screamed “unsafe.”
Leng Yihan hesitated for a moment, but after thinking it over carefully, she realized that these two important figures didn't need to resort to underhanded tactics to get rid of her, so she reached out and picked up the black crystal.
Then, there was that familiar silence again. The black crystal didn't react at all, still giving off that ominous feeling, but it had no effect on Leng Yihan. It was just an ordinary crystal, at most with a slightly unusual appearance.
"This is getting interesting..." Murong Xiao muttered upon seeing this, flipping open the book she had been holding, as if searching for something. "It's useless to you..." Dean Mei also frowned in confusion. "I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this..."
“That’s not true. Maybe this is the first time this ability has appeared in the world, or maybe it’s some other ability that could make the crystal not react at all.” Murong Xiao said, stopping her hand from turning the page and turning the book around to show Leng Yihan the contents.
The book contained a crystal, the very one Leng Yihan was holding. After a quick glance at the contents of the book, Leng Yihan felt her hair stand on end.
The book says that if the holder does not have superpowers, the crystal will instantly go berserk and devour the holder.
"The superpower in the story is based on the premise that there is only one kind of superpower in the world. But it's very likely that, given your current situation, this superpower should be changed to having a special ability." Murong Xiao said as she closed the book.
"The crystal used to test superpowers was a naturally formed crystal that was carved and installed there. The crystal's characteristic was that it would react to superpowers, which was how the superpower level was determined. However, your appearance may prove to some extent that the thing can only work on superpowers. You probably have other abilities, which is why the thing doesn't show anything."
Hearing Murong Xiao's explanation, Leng Yihan was still a little confused, but she understood pretty much. In any case, her ability was most likely related to some new system.
And then what? Leng Yihan knew absolutely nothing about this system. Humans' current understanding of superpowers was all thanks to the pioneers who figured it out step by step. But Leng Yihan was now going to be that pioneer. He didn't have that much time. Maybe before he even figured out this ability, the three mother-killers would have already found him.
"Then... what should I do now?"
"Come with me, I'll show you a few experiments to try first." Murong Xiao said, walking towards the door behind the dean once again. Leng Yihan hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Dean Mei giving him a frantic look, he immediately stood up and followed Murong Xiao into the room.
The room, which had been dark, suddenly lit up. Murong Xiao must have turned on the lights. When Leng Yihan entered, the door behind her was also closed. Without a doubt, it was Dean Mei who did it...
"Here you go." Murong Xiao's voice suddenly rang out. She squatted down and rummaged through the safe in front of her, then tossed a box to Leng Yihan.
"Open it and take it." Murong Xiao said, taking out seven more boxes. The safe closed automatically, and she placed the items on a large table next to her.
“This…” Leng Yihan looked at the box that Murong Xiao had just tossed to her. It was exactly the same as the box containing the black crystal from before. Even without Murong Xiao saying it, Leng Yihan knew that this was probably something similar to the black crystal from before.
Leng Yihan placed the box containing the black crystal on the table beside her and opened it. The structure inside looked so familiar, except that the contents had changed from black to a brown crystal.
"Pick it up." Murong Xiao.
"Um... Teacher Murong, may I ask what this thing is used for?" Leng Yihan.
"Take it up first. You'll know if there's a reaction. If there's no reaction, I'll tell you."
Okay, fine, you won't say, then I am!
Helplessly, I picked up the crystal, but still there was no reaction.
"The effect of this crystal is that if your special ability is related to speed, then you will be unable to move now." Hearing Murong Xiao's explanation, Leng Yihan tried to move her feet a little, and it had no effect. She took a few more steps, and it still had no effect.
"Okay, put it on your table over there, catch this one." Murong Xiao also saw that Leng Yihan was unaffected, picked up another box and tossed it to Leng Yihan, who had already put the crystal back in the box and placed it on the table.
This time it was a red crystal. Leng Yihan picked it up, and still didn't feel anything wrong with her body.
"...The power of this crystal is that if your special ability is related to strength, then you will lose all your strength, but obviously, you don't." Murong Xiao said, tossing him another box.
After trying several more, there was still no reaction. Leng Yihan began to doubt whether her ability was an insulator, unable to react to anything.
But seeing Murong Xiao's tightly furrowed brows and familiar expression, Leng Yihan had also experienced her current feelings. It was undoubtedly that feeling of almost finding the answer, but just missing it, and not being able to remember it no matter what.
"The last one, the effect of this one is that if you have a special ability, then this crystal will absorb your energy."
Despite saying that, Leng Yihan still didn't react at all after receiving it.
“I f***…” Leng Yihan’s expression was quite interesting.
"Come find me after school!" But this time, Murong Xiao seemed to have thought of something. "I need some time to prepare some things. You go back to your classroom first. I believe you still remember the way. Just come back here after school."
"Uh... okay, teacher!" Leng Yihan replied, turned around and walked out of the room, grabbed the doorknob, and tried to turn it... hey? Why can't I turn it?
"That's a one-way door; you can only come in, not out. So you have to go out from here." Hearing Murong Xiao's words, Leng Yihan turned her head and saw Murong Xiao press a button, and a door in the wall suddenly opened, wide enough for an adult man to pass through.
"Let's go, let's get out." Leng Yihan was embarrassed, so she didn't linger. When she walked out the door, she found that she had crawled out of a 'wall'.
"Okay... it's just a cover-up..." Leng Yihan muttered to herself. But according to Murong Xiao, she should know what the situation is when school ends in the afternoon. She should go back to her class first.
The elevator that Leng Yihan came to was not far away, thankfully he didn't have to walk too far.
But what exactly is my ability... Leng Yihan frowned as she pondered.
129 Super Power Academy (7)
Leng Yihan was on the sixth floor. After swiping his card, a prompt appeared asking which floor to go to. Leng Yihan naturally went to the seventh floor. He didn't want to wander around, so he decided to meet up with his classmates first; otherwise, he felt a chill run down his spine...
Leng Yihan stepped into the elevator, which closed its doors and automatically moved upwards, soon stopping on the seventh floor. Leng Yihan returned to the place where she had previously taken the superpower test and ran towards her class's E section. As soon as she arrived, she saw Teacher Zou Jia leading students numbered 16-20 into the testing room. Leng Yihan immediately sat back in her number one seat. The others saw this and, although puzzled, did not ask any questions. However, Leng Binglan was different.
"Brother, where did the teacher take you just now?" Leng Binglan and Leng Yihan were practically shoulder to shoulder, whispering to each other. Don't ask me why they didn't use eye contact; that's too troublesome and mentally taxing.
"First they took me to their office, then to the dean's office, and then I did a bunch of boring experiments before coming back. Did the teacher say anything during that time?" Leng Yihan asked as she answered.
“Yes.” Leng Binglan nodded. “The teacher said that after the ability test, we can pick up our things and it will be lunchtime. Everyone will go to the cafeteria to eat, and then we will go directly to the playground outside to gather. The first formal class is physical education to test our physical fitness.”
"I see." Leng Yihan nodded. Since everyone is having lunch together... is there a chance of running into someone they know?
Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan sat in their seats, chatting occasionally. The other students in the class did the same. If they didn't say a word, many of them would probably suffocate. After all, apart from Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan, the others were all first-year junior high students. Teacher Zou Jia knew this, so she didn't stop them, but just told them to keep their voices down.
An hour passed, and just as Leng Yihan was about to fall asleep, Teacher Zou Jia finally led the last group of students, numbers 46-50, inside. Once this group finished, they could go back to the classroom.
This group took quite a long time, another twenty minutes, before Teacher Zou Jia finally came out. As soon as he came out, he made a gesture that they could leave, and the students in Class 1E couldn't wait to stand up and walk towards the elevator.
There are twelve elevators in total, corresponding to grades 7 through 12. Two elevators come up on each floor, but they are also separated, since there are only six exits on each floor. Junior high and senior high are separate. Class 1E is standing in front of an empty elevator. This is the one that goes down to the junior high section. The familiar card swiping, the familiar elevator entry, and the familiarly slow process.
If Leng Yihan hadn't known that there was a staircase connecting the first, second, and third floors, she estimated that this elevator would be incredibly inconvenient, and she probably would only need to use it a few times when going to higher floors.
I forgot to mention that all classes from the first year of junior high to the third year of senior high are located on the first, second, and third floors, only the junior high area and the senior high area are separated.
After returning to the classroom, everyone went back to their previous seats, and Ms. Zou Jia began her routine to explain what needed to be done in the afternoon.
"Today is the first day of school, so we'll be dismissed early. Our class schedule is a superpower test in the morning and a physical fitness test in the afternoon. You can leave in twenty minutes. After that, you can go to the cafeteria for lunch. Does anyone not know how to get there?" Teacher Zou Jia looked around and saw that quite a few people still didn't know how to get there.
"Okay, does anyone here who doesn't know the way recognize someone who does? If so, just ask them to lead the way. If not, raise your hand." Everyone immediately lowered their hands. After all, although Leng Yihan didn't know the way, he noticed that neither Leng Binglan nor Wang Dehua had raised their hands.
"Alright, let's talk about the dorms now. Our college is a boarding school. You can go out of the college to stroll around the streets at night, but you must return to your dorms before midnight, otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences." Although no one knew what the consequences Teacher Zou Jia meant, no one wanted to try it.
"Does anyone in the dorm not know how to get there?" This time, quite a few people raised their hands, just like the previous group who didn't know how to get to the cafeteria.
"Alright, let me explain the dormitory assignments first. The dormitory assignments are quite similar to those in our teaching building. One large dormitory is divided into two areas across three floors. Each class has fifty students or fewer, so each class has ten rooms. These ten rooms are all for independent living, and each room includes a living room and five fully equipped bedrooms..."
Leng Yihan was a little confused when he heard this. If that's the case... what about space? Is there enough space? It can't be, right? Then, the next moment, Teacher Zou Jia's words proved him wrong.
"As for the space, please rest assured, it will definitely not be small. The school has adopted space folding technology. And the key to enter the room is your own fingerprint, which was registered when you enrolled. At that time, you only needed to press your thumb."
Okay... space folding... I completely forgot about that move...
"As for the allocation... please look here." Teacher Zou Jia seemed to press a button on the podium, the projector was turned on, the classroom lights suddenly dimmed, and the curtains automatically closed.
"These are your assignments, take a look," said Teacher Zou Jia. The dormitory assignments were formatted like Room 1E (1), Room 1E (2), etc. Leng Yihan glanced at them and saw that she was in Room 1E (1), and her roommates...
Okay, so the dorms are mixed-gender?!
Seeing her roommates, Leng Yihan was suddenly a little confused. What's going on with Ling Shuilan, Ye Shi, Tao Yuan, and Wang Dehua?
Strangely, everyone in the class seemed calm. Leng Yihan was bewildered but didn't dare to speak up, worried that she might accidentally reveal something serious. It seemed she would only find out tonight... Could it be that everyone is more open-minded now?
"Alright, if you know your roommates, you can ask them to show you the way. That's all for now. It's free time now. You can go eat when the bell rings in a little while." Teacher Zou Jia said, sitting down. Only then did Leng Yihan realize that there were chairs on the podium...
"Oh right... Teacher, what are points used for?" Leng Yihan suddenly remembered the points Leng Binglan had earned before and immediately asked.
"Oh... there's this too, I forgot to tell you." Thinking of this, Teacher Zou Jia, whose voice had been somewhat limp, sat up straight again.
"Actually, our school is like a small city, but all those things are behind the teaching buildings. Students who don't want to eat in the cafeteria can go there too. As for student points, they are the money you need to use in our school. Everyone starts with 1000 points, and you can get points through teacher rewards, high scores on final exams, winning prizes in competitions, and so on. Of course, the assessment methods for super-powered students and ordinary students are definitely different. Oh, and these points are all stored in your student cards, so don't lose them. After all, you need money for food, and you need to use points to pay for it."
Oh... would there be any point in going out like that?
However, upon thinking about this, Leng Yihan suddenly remembered something. If Leng Binglan remembered correctly, she had obtained 100,000 student points.
“Xiao Lan…” Leng Yihan nudged Leng Binglan, who was sitting in front of her.
"What?" Leng Binglan turned her head in confusion when she heard Leng Yihan call her.
"100,000 points...how about you take me as your sugar daddy?"
"..." Leng Binglan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Brother, really... Do I even need to say it?" Because what follows was inconvenient to say, so... she activated the eye contact technique!
“My money is my brother’s money! Of course, no problem!” said Leng Binglan.
"That's fantastic, Ice Blue!" Leng Yihan exclaimed.
"What would you like to eat for lunch, brother?" Leng Binglan asked.
"You only find out what's in the cafeteria once you get there, right?" Leng Yihan said.
"Oh right, Binglan, I suddenly remembered something. The cafeteria should be the same for junior high and high school students, right?" Leng Yihan said.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Leng Binglan.
"I think this is one of the few opportunities we have to reunite with everyone at once..."
130 Super Power Academy (8)
In the cafeteria, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan looked around, hoping to spot a familiar figure.
Their primary target now is Lin Yin, since Leng Yihan is very familiar with Lin Yin, and the three of them work well together. They just hope that the others can think of meeting up in the cafeteria. Actually, Leng Yihan is still a little worried about this.
Although there were many people in the cafeteria, it wasn't too crowded; most of the seats were still empty. It seemed that many people preferred to eat at the school's commercial street. Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan queued up and bought some food. They then sat down at a spot near the exit, looking out the door and waiting for the others to arrive.
Sure enough, he encountered a teammate, although this teammate was neither Lin Yin nor Chen Yaming.
It is your clear water.
"Senior! Senior!" Leng Yihan waved to Jun Qingshui and called out, but he didn't need to call out. Jun Qingshui had already seen him when she came in, and Ye Shi walked directly towards them.
"Hey, junior, what a coincidence! Should I call it fate?" Jun Qingshui said, a strange smile on his face. "I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime."
"You're too kind, senior." Leng Yihan said, then leaned forward and whispered, "Lin Han, Ling Shuilan."
“A single character, Qing.” Jun Qingshui reacted quickly, soon realizing that this was referring to their names in the academy, and immediately replied in a low voice.
However, the group was overthinking it. Although the location was close to the entrance, the surrounding area was quite deserted, so they weren't worried about anyone overhearing them.
"Qing... Senior Qing, have you seen anyone else?" Leng Yihan asked after taking a bite of her food.
“Um… junior, you have to think about this. This morning, I went for a physical fitness test and I was exhausted. And you actually ate in front of me to provoke me…” Jun Qingshui raised an eyebrow and looked at Leng Yihan with dissatisfaction.
"Oh." Leng Yihan responded with an "oh," and took another bite of rice.
"...Alright, alright, you really are...deserving to be single! No, wait, you're not single anymore, are you? I heard from Zhou Ze that you're dating that little girl Lin Yin, right? Tell me, tell me!" Jun Qingshui's gossipy nature suddenly ignited for some reason.
