Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

My body felt uncomfortable, as if a video recorder was stuck in my head and was rewinding.

A somewhat cold little hand reached forward and gently stroked his forehead, the delicate and boneless little hand feeling the temperature of his forehead.

"Are you OK?"

The long-haired girl tilted her face and asked with concern, "You look a little confused from sleep. Can you see what time it is?"

She stretched out a scissor hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

She has a very special temperament, and exudes the faint fragrance of tulips.

What a pretty girl.

In his previous life, there was no such beautiful girl among Bai Yu's peers, and naturally he had never had such close contact with the opposite sex.

Although he is a person with super powers, Bai Yu does not meet the conditions of ten consecutive guarantees in terms of popularity with the opposite sex... Because he is aware of the passive existence of his guarantee, he guesses that even if he falls in love, he will have to go through nine attempts before he meets the right girlfriend, which is a serious torture and test for his emotional experience.

Looking at the huge sunk costs, he decisively chose to be a wise man and not fall in love.

But the situation before him suddenly brought him back to his high school days ten years ago, and he felt like he had just woken up from a dream.

However, this feeling was only temporary. After all, he was still an adult entering society mentally. Bai Yu quickly came to his senses and stepped back slightly to avoid the other person's palm against his forehead.

He asked, "You are...?"

The girl blinked, tilted her head, and tapped her chin with her finger.

"Are you really confused?"

Looking at his childhood sweetheart whose hair curled up after sleeping, his eyes were a little mischievous.

"Or...did you dream of something extraordinary and want to try out this interesting development?"

She put her hands behind her back and took a half step back. The sunlight illuminated the profile of her face, and her smile made the two dimples on her cheeks look particularly cute.

"But I don't dislike this kind of performance with a little surprise~"

"So, according to the scenario of waking up from a sleep and losing my memory, what should I say now?"

She paused, cleared her throat, and coughed lightly.

"Hello, nice to meet you?"

"My name is Su Ruoli. Remember my name well and don't call it wrong, otherwise I will get upset."

Bai Yu: "..."

I was teased.

No doubt he was teased.

Mr. Bai, whose mental age is in his late twenties, feels his heart beating faster at this moment, just like when he sneaks into someone else's jungle to kill monsters but doesn't know where the other jungler is.

What's wrong with this girl? She knows so much...

Just when Bai Yu's thoughts were a little confused, the bell rang and a teacher in a short-sleeved shirt walked into the classroom on time.

"Class is starting, everyone go back to your seats!"

Su Ruoli blinked at Bai Yu, then returned to her seat in the row in front of Bai Yu.

Only then did he take his eyes off the little girl and look into the classroom, noticing the layout of the classroom.

Bai Yu was born in the 1990s. In his era, even in high school, there were relatively many students. He was considered one of the last few groups to catch up with the overwhelming number of people competing for a single place on the narrow wooden bridge... So it was normal for a class to be filled with sixty or seventy people. Generally, the class was arranged in four rows, with two desks connected together in each row, which gave rise to the term "sitting at the same table".

The total number of students in this class seems to be only more than 30 people, so it is naturally not that crowded. On average, each table is separated from each other, with only adjacent tables, front tables, and back tables, but no deskmates.

Furthermore, the desks and chairs used in the classroom were made of steel and wood fixed to the ground, which was different from what he remembered from high school.

At that time, he brought his own desk. The school was responsible for the wholesale but charged a fee. The desks and chairs were all wooden structures and were not fixed to the ground. They had to be moved after graduation.

Are times different...?

Bai Yu began to wonder what kind of era he had traveled to. Judging from the architectural style and technological level here, it was probably after 2015.

Then this must not be rebirth, but rather the reincarnation of one's own body?

Fortunately, we can communicate normally and we all speak Chinese.

He flipped through books, using Chinese characters... and could understand them.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a little relieved. As long as he was still in China, everything would be fine... The next step was to confirm the region and era...

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the head teacher raise his hand and slap the desk.

"You haven't forgotten what day it is today, have you?"

"Today is the date of the awakening of the spirit."

"Every student will undergo three spiritual awakenings during their third year of high school... A successful spiritual awakening will have immeasurable benefits for your future."

"Seize this opportunity, adjust your mindset, and be humble regardless of success or failure!"

The head teacher spoke with a serious expression, a stern face and a frown, looking very majestic.

But Bai Yu didn’t understand at all. What was the awakening ceremony?

It sounds like a fancy name, but maybe it's just like Confucius Institutes and bowing...

Bai Yu thought silently that this was not unacceptable.

The head teacher picked up the student booklet and said, "Next, everyone follow me. Remember to line up according to your student number."

As the head teacher walked out the door, the other students also stood up.

Bai Yu also stood up. He flipped through the books but couldn't find his student number.

A young man with a crew cut patted Bai Yu's shoulder and said, "Geda, let's go. What are you daydreaming about?"

As she spoke, she nudged his back and said, "Hurry up! Haven't you been looking forward to the Spiritual Awakening Ceremony for quite some time? Why are you so clumsy at this crucial moment?"

Bai Yu didn't dislike this kind of person who was very outgoing, but he just didn't know how to respond for a moment.

However, Su Ruoli seemed to have noticed something, and silently said a number to Bai Yu while making a gesture.

"eleven……"

Bai Yu felt relieved, as this saved him from having to ask other people. He clasped his fists and said thank you.

Su Ruoli raised the corner of her lips and winked.

After lining up, Bai Yu was number eleven, and the young man who had just patted his shoulder was number twelfth, his name was Kong Wen.

It was only when others called him that Bai Yu learned their names.

Although he had traveled through time, Bai Yu now had no inherited memories at all. He could only find a way to get through today's classes and find out the details after returning home in the evening, although he didn't even know where he lived.

……

Following the team, we arrived at a sports venue in the school.

A group of people in suits were conducting routine inspections outside the gymnasium, using equipment that looked like customs security facilities.

This time, the monitoring was only carried out in Class 1 of Grade 3, where Bai Yu was. It seemed that the ceremony was carried out in batches, and the number of people was not large.

After all the collective tests, all 37 people in a class entered the sports stadium. The students were arranged here, accompanied by school leaders and people in black.

Bai Yu looked at the school leaders. They were all over 40 years old. Even the 60-year-old man called Principal Chen looked vigorous and strong, without any trace of a potbelly or a gentlemanly look.

This can't be a sports school.

The head teacher took the student handbook and called the roll again. Taking this opportunity, Bai Yu also memorized about one-third of the names.

Then a tall woman in a black uniform came forward. She immediately attracted everyone's attention, not only because of her appearance, but also because she had a pair of pointed cat ears on her head and a long furry tail wrapped around her waist.

It was like cosplay... but her cat ears and tail were really moving, which immediately attracted a group of people's attention.

Zhou Liu stood with his hands behind his back, and judging by the shape of his ears he looked like a cool and aloof Jianzhou cat.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Liu, the captain of the Changye Division's inspection team."

"Today I will be in charge of the awakening ceremony for Class 1 of Senior 3."

"Although you have already learned what it is through various channels before the awakening ceremony, I still want to repeat it in detail now."

"The initiation ceremony paves the way for the extraordinary journey ahead."

"Although the Spiritual Awakening Ceremony cannot fully assess a person's potential, it can assess their aptitude. Having or not having this aptitude directly determines the level of one's future achievements."

"Although talent alone doesn't completely determine achievement, on the path to transcendence, it's difficult for those without strong talent to reach the end."

She reached out and patted the whiteboard beside her.

"The initiation ceremony is divided into two parts."

"The first part is to induce your talents; the second part is to test the strength of your will."

"No matter what kind of talent you awaken, if you don't have enough willpower to control it, you won't become a transcendent."

"Of course, the first awakening ceremony might not produce any results... But don't worry, most people won't get any results the first time, so the awakening ceremony will be held three times in total, and a comprehensive assessment will be conducted during your college entrance examination."

"The results of your spiritual awakening will only be known to you and will not be made public!"

"Of course... you are free to tell others if you want to."

"Next, follow the list and enter the Spiritual Awakening Room!"

"The first one is Liu Neng!"

Zhou Liu began to read out the list. Under the watchful eyes of Chang Yesi and the school leaders, each student entered the closed spiritual awakening room in turn according to their number. When they came out, they left through another passage and would not return to the stadium.

Everyone remained silent, and some students were rubbing their hands nervously and breathing heavily.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Yu felt a little numb.

Cat-eared girls, extraordinary people, the Long Night Bureau, the awakening ceremony... everything before his eyes seemed to prove that this was not the world dominated by scientific guidance that he was familiar with.

Good news: Chinese still works.

Bad news: It’s not rebirth but time travel!

Chapter 3 Heroic Spirit

Since it has been confirmed that it is a time travel, then...

Since I can't go back, I have no choice but to join.

Bai Yu calmed down very quickly.

There is an old Chinese saying: Since we are here, we are already here.

Even if we know the fact of time travel, it will not be of much help to the current situation.

Traveling through time after a car accident doesn't seem that difficult to accept. As a person with super powers, even if he sees some incredible things again, his ability to accept them is very strong... Besides, which boy doesn't dream of suddenly picking up a Kamen Rider belt one day?

After all, life is just a new experience... Bai Yu thought to himself to comfort himself.

"Are you nervous?"

A small head popped out from the side.

Su Ruoli had already left the queue and stood next to Bai Yu. The head teacher not far away did not stop him. He knew that most students needed to adjust their mood at this time, so it would be better to let the students move freely.

Bai Yu shook his head. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, but he just felt it was a bit complicated.

Not nervous at all.

If I had to describe it, it's probably like a fisherman casting a hook and catching a torpedo...

There is a sense of accomplishment in refreshing one's life, but more often than not, there is a desire to succeed but hesitation.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a spiritual awakening ceremony... Hmm, does that sound a bit contrived? After all, it's normal to be nervous."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Su Ruoli said softly, "Don't worry. Just like what the beautiful elder sister above said, the awakening ceremony won't succeed in one go."

"Even if something happens, I will be ahead of you. I will lay a good foundation for you. If there is any embarrassment, I will be the one before you..."

"If the result is not good, I will be waiting outside for you to be the first to comfort you."

"So… just relax, okay?"

The girl clenched her fists and acted as if to encourage others while comforting them.

Bai Yu's attention was successfully distracted by her again.

...How can she be so good at this?
