Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

...are they really just high school students?

...Isn't this girl's initial favorability a bit too high? What's her relationship to the persona I occupy? Lovers? Not really.

After all, the superpowered person had no experience in love, and faced with the straightforward comfort of this beautiful girl, his program couldn't help but freeze. A few seconds later, in the sight of others, he nodded woodenly, replied with a steady "hmm", and raised his thumb, like a cold and ruthless like machine.

Nothing further.

"Fuck!" A boy nearby clenched his fists and cursed harshly.

The shout of "fuck" resonated with many people, and many people looked at him, as if they wanted to pierce him to pieces.

Bai Yu was puzzled: "?"

Kong Wen patted Bai Yu's shoulder and sighed, "As expected of you... a blockhead."

At the front desk, Zhou Liu opened the student book and read out, "Next, Su Ruoli!"

Su Ruoli turned around: "Here!"

Then, instead of leaving in a hurry, he walked up to Bai Yu and pressed his shoulder.

"Okay, stand still for a moment. I'll borrow your eyes to look in the mirror."

She stared into Bai Yu's eyes, then smiled with her dimples: "How do I look?"

Bai Yu continued to give a thumbs-up: "I think it's good."

As if encouraged, Su Ruoli puffed out her chest and said, "That's good. I'll go in now. Let's look forward to Miss Ruoli's perfect performance."

She turned and walked into the awakening room, leaving behind an extremely beautiful and youthful figure.

The classmates next to him started beating their chests and stamping their feet, howling like lovelorn baboons.

"Sour, sour, sour, I'm going to die of sourness!"

"That's too much, it's really too much, damn it, why do you let me watch this kind of thing? I don't want to watch this kind of thing!"

"Damn it, you bastard! You're destroying my Daoist heart during the Spiritual Awakening Ceremony!"

"I also want a childhood sweetheart like this, but I regret that Uncle Wang next door isn't trying hard enough."

"I have a childhood sweetheart, but I hung him up and beat him several times, and he still refused to admit that he was a woman."

Unlike the noisy students, the school leaders and people from the Changye Division had serious expressions, which was not the case with other students during the previous awakening ceremony.

Zhou Liu asked the head teacher, "Su Ruoli... is this name from the Su family...?"

The head teacher nodded, a hint of regret in her eyes: "Her sister...used to study here too."

Zhou Liu looked at the closed spirit awakening room and said thoughtfully, "I wonder if the Su family can produce another heroic spirit."

The head teacher was silent for a moment and then said, "I hope she isn't."

Zhou Liu glanced at the head teacher and said no more.

The Qi Ling room is isolated from the outside world, and no one outside knows what is happening inside.

About five minutes later, the door of the awakening room reopened. A staff member walked out and whispered a few words to Zhou Liu. It could be clearly seen that Officer Zhou's cat ears stood up and his tail began to wag.

"confirmed."

Zhou Liu's tone was filled with a hint of deep excitement: "It is indeed the bloodline of the Heroic Spirit...!"

He turned to the school leaders and said, "I have to report back to the authorities immediately. I'll leave the finishing work here to you, okay?"

The head teacher rubbed his eyebrows and said, "You go ahead and do your work."

Zhou Liu's sudden departure in front of the students also caused many students to talk about it.

"what happened?"

"It seems that Su Ruoli's talent is extraordinary. Before, everyone's test took only one or two minutes at most, but this time it took more than five minutes."

"I'm so curious!"

However, these are private secrets and will not be told to anyone.

"Next, Bai Yu!" the head teacher shouted.

"Come on, Geda." Kong Wen was different from the other people who were laughing and joking: "I'm looking forward to going to Nanjing University with you."

Bai Yu gave an Ultraman-like nod in response.

He walked towards the awakening room.

Unlike the expected high-tech rooms, this spacious white room only has a table.

There were about ten different instruments placed on the table, some were cold weapons, some were guns, some were books, and even...

"Folding stool?"

"Butcher knife?"

"lighter?"

What the hell is this? You want me to bite a lighter to make a living?

The reviewer explained: "You can pick any one of the items and hold it in your hand... Remember, you can only pick one."

"Randomly selected?"

"Yes, pick the one that you like best."

Bai Yu looked at the various items on the table, concentrating and staring with bated breath.

He noticed a small glimmer of light seeping from the objects...almost every one of them, though the intensity of the light varied.

He picked up a jet-black stone that shone very brightly. The stone had obviously been polished and had a sharp edge on one side, seemingly some kind of flint.

As I touched the stone, I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.

As he held the stone, the surrounding vision suddenly became dark, and a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of him.

The other party raised an axe in his hand and kept chopping it at the ground. Every time he chopped it down, sparks flew everywhere. The flying sparks turned into flames, and the blazing flames spread like fireworks and then exploded.

The flames instantly engulfed Bai Yu's consciousness, and he vaguely saw the axe coming directly towards his forehead.

This scene lasted less than ten seconds.

The bursting flames formed extremely vivid words in the sight, as if they were branded by flames.

[Ancient Relic: Flint Axe]

[One-Star Heroic Spirit: The Igniter Old Man]

【Condition: Good】

Bai Yu heard a sound as he held the stone, and then the stone in his hand began to vibrate, and a rejecting force was reflected from the stone.

A white light burst out, and it felt like firecrackers exploded in the palm of his hand. He couldn't hold the stone anymore, so he let go of it. The stone fell on the table with a humming sound, and it rotated in an irregular shape on the table.

[Contract Failure]

[The afterimage of the heroic spirit has become history]

[Heroic Spirit Contract has been recorded, currently 1 times]

……What happened?

…Who is talking in my head?

Bai Yu still doesn't understand what's going on.

The reviewer in front had already opened his notebook and began recording: "White talent...held the holy relic for approximately seventeen seconds, and willpower was judged as good."

He said, "Thank you for your hard work. Your talent has been activated, and I believe you have noticed it... We won't ask what it is specifically."

"Although it's difficult for those with white talent to become extraordinary, you can still enter the liberal arts major related to extraordinary and become a researcher. Don't worry, you still have the qualifications to contribute to Daxia."

"Congratulations, you can leave through the door on the left."

Bai Yu pushed open the door and left from the left door. While walking through the corridor, he was still looking at his palm, a little confused.

I’ve heard from others before that when you awaken your talent, you’ll realize how to use it.

But now he still doesn't understand what talent is.

Is it just like my guaranteed superpower... the type that needs to be slowly explored for usage?

Walking out of the corridor, in the open space in front of the campus, students who had just finished the test were gathered together to discuss something. Some of them looked depressed and dejected, while others were in high spirits, with the words "I want to show off" written all over their faces.

Su Ruoli was dealing with other people's questions. When she saw Bai Yu coming out, she immediately got out of the crowd.

"Here here."

She called out, then quickly came running over with a warm and attentive smile.

"How's it going? Is it going as smoothly as Miss Ruoli said?"

The sweet smile made people at a loss for words, and Bai Yu's thoughts froze again.

He replied, "My talent is at the white level of 'hard work and practice', so I probably won't be able to pass the martial arts exam."

I answered casually, not even sure why I answered that way... By the way, what kind of talent is "hard work and practice"?

Bai Yu felt like a boat at this moment, floating along with the current, and a sense of detachment from consciousness became extremely strong.

Su Ruoli's sweet smile froze a little, and she lowered her head: "Is that so..."

Then he quickly raised his head, clenched his fist and said encouragingly, "There's still a lot of time. Perhaps there will be better choices next time you awaken your spirit."

Bai Yu nodded and remained silent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but his headache worsened, and the tingling and discomfort inside his head became more intense.

This feeling had always been there, like always wearing clothes that didn't fit, like the tightness of a sweater worn inside out, and now it was even stronger, like the wool on the sweater had tightened and was strangling my neck.

His vision suddenly became blurry and dark, and Bai Yu fell forward.

Boom!

The head hit something hard, making an extremely crisp sound.

He covered his forehead, raised his head, looked around, and suddenly found that he had bumped into the table.

A classmate saw this and burst out laughing: "Are you okay? Why are you grabbing the table with your head all of a sudden? Are you stubborn?"

The laughter never stopped and the classroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.

But Bai Yu couldn't laugh. He felt a chill in his heart and his back felt cold, as if an invisible ghost hand was stroking his back.

What happened? When did I return to the classroom?

In just a moment, he staggered and found that the scene around him suddenly changed, from outdoors back to the classroom again. There was no time to react at all during the whole process.

Before he knew it, he had returned to his seat.

I was clearly outside just a moment ago, so why did I suddenly develop...superpowers? Hysteria? The aftereffects of time travel?

"Are you okay?" Su Ruoli at the table in front looked concerned.

Bai Yu shook his head: "It's okay."

However, the uncomfortable pain is still there.

“…Oops, I’m starting to lose track.”

He said groggily, "I'm even starting to hallucinate."

"Hallucination? What hallucination?" Kong Wen stood up from the back table and came over.

"On the ground..." Bai Yu pointed at the ground and said, "Why is it so dark?"

After hearing this, several students around looked down and looked confused.

The ground had indeed turned black, becoming extremely dark, as black as if it was coated with an opaque material that absorbed all light without reflecting any light, making it extremely dark and smooth.

Kong Wen: "What's going on?"

Only Su Ruoli's pretty face turned pale, her expression completely changed. She shouted, "It's the Shadow World! Everyone, run!"

The words were spoken with great force. After hearing the words "shadow world", there was a moment of silence before some students reacted and were immediately horrified.

But by now it was too late to escape.

A feeling of weightlessness came over them, and the sinking sensation was like falling into a quagmire, as if falling into water. The floor under their feet was sucked out, and everyone immediately fell into a state of weightlessness.

With the sound of a splash, Bai Yu saw all 37 students in the class fall into the shadows, screams and panic spread wildly.
