After that "horrendous" performance at the entrance exam. Xero went home that day, in perfect peace. It was the evening. He glanced at the paper detailing his admittance into class advanced personally crafted and handed out by the school's cultivation administrator, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.
This'll be a real struggle…
…
At Xero's house, he entered, putting his bag on the table and taking off his shoes. Lin Mei greeted him, "Xiaoluo! You're back! How was the entrance exam and meet and greet?"
Xero sighed and said, "I'll tell you about it later."
Zhang Wei exclaimed, "Welcome son! The new spirit-sealing talisman is almost finished! I'll tell you about it soon. Honey! Is dinner ready?"
Lin Mei smiled and turned to him saying, "Yeah, of course! I'll set out the table."
Hearing that, Xero went into his room, and changed into a plain white shirt and black pants, and he also took off his socks and placed them in his wardrobe. His room was quite big. There was his bed, his desk with his computer and other stuff, including talismans and pencils, and his wardrobe. Near his desk, were drawers with… Little Panda Custard Buns. (Yeah, you were expecting that weren't you?)
Xero then exited his room, and went down the stairs and took his seat. A bowl of rice, and the new chopsticks his dad bought for 200 Yuan, was conveniently placed near his bowl.
Xero took his chopsticks and started absent-mildly eating his rice and couldn't help sighing.
Why is it so hard to be a bad student nowadays?
And he most definitely could not count on his parents to grasp his pain. Xero had handed out the admittance into class advanced to Zhang Wei, and the couple goggled at the paper detailing his admittance, afraid to miss a single detail.
Then, his father (Zhang Wei) with slicked back hair, and while wearing a silver monocle, sighed. Xero knew what was coming. His father's first words would be, "Man, didn't I already tell you about this!"
And as expected, he was right.
"Man, didn't I already tell you about this!" He sighed momentarily pinching the bridge of his nose lightly, "I told you not to get such grades every time! Don't you know how awkward it is for me and your mother when you get such excellent marks?"
Xero wordlessly rolled his eyes. It's not like he was deliberately set out to do so well! Like, what happened at the entrance exam today, was totally an interference from God!
Zhang Wei covered his face and even sobbed, "Not only are they saying that we picked you off the street, they're even saying I'm a cuck of a dad!"
Xero: "…"
Zhang Wei, then said lifting his face from his hand and wiping off his tears, (Damn, he actually cried? What a b*tch.) "Next time, don't do so well on your test. Or just directly hand out a blank paper. Don't listen to your mom about practicing moderation or whatever, it's just sheer shit."
"I heard that!" Lin Mei said from the kitchen.
Zhang Wei, "If you get such good grades again, don't be surprised I spank your ass!"
Hearing this, Xero's face turned black as he indirectly broke his chopsticks in half. He was pissed. How the hell was he supposed to react after that notorious ragebait?!
Zhang Wei's eyes widened a little as he took in the sight before him, "Goddammit Xiaoluo, I literally just bought those Ninth-Heaven chopsticks yesterday! in black too! They're expensive dammit!"
Lin Mei emerged from the kitchen, with more plates of food and laid them on the table.
"Honey, you shouldn't be so harsh on our Xiaoluo. He still needs to learn how to control his strength, I was honestly surprised that he didn't break the system at the entrance exam today. Seems as though he was practicing."
Finally! Some semblance from a damn relative!
Zhang Wei retorted, "Yeah, but…" He sighed ending that sentence. "You're so lucky you're an OP son, or else I would've spanked you sooner or later!"
Well too bad, b*tch! If he were to even lay the faintest hint of touch on him, with either hitting or killing intent, he would be instantly blasted away 90,000 li away by Xero's sheer presence!
Lin Mei sat down and was about to eat, "Just be quiet and eat already."
The family of three then began their dinner.
…
After dinner, Xero returned to him room closing the door behind him. He lay down on his bed, shortly after turning off the lights.
What Xero liked to do before sleeping, was lay on his bed and reflect back on the day. Since his Mind-Reading Ability had eased out a little, he could have some trickle of peace for his ears. Because, ever since he reached Soul Nascent Stage at the age of 3, he gained the ability to hear other people's thoughts, and he couldn't quite control it back then and was hearing people's thoughts all the time. But as he aged, and his realm grew faster, he eventually began to control it and ease the volume down a little. It was pretty loud back then, yes. Even when he was taking a morning piss, he could still hear his parent's thoughts!
And, holy mother of God… Today was one of the most stressful in his life, by far. First, he had to deal with Malakor, and that rencounter was one of a kind. Xero still despised him a bit, it was his fault that he got admitted into class advanced in the first place!
And then there was Aoi Misaki… judging by her behavior against him… He needed to be more careful around her, she could risk his exposure.
Sometimes… Xero had always thought that he was from another world.. maybe like a hybridization type of a goddamn fish. But unyielding evidence from DNA tests destroy his doubts entirely. By fact alone, those two were his biological parents.
When he was younger, he had tried to figure out limits to his abnormal realm advancement… But as he got older, he realized that such limitations did not exist for him. It frightened him a bit. It wasn't the fear that you would never grow, it was as if that 'growth' never seemed to stop its rapid expansion.
Xero was deeply troubled…
How the hell was he gonna face the first day of school tomorrow?!
Xero sat up, rubbing his eyes because his head hurt, he then reached into the drawer next to his bed and brought out a pack of custard buns.
Whatever God has in store for him tomorrow, he had decided… Let's eat some Custard Buns to chase the uneasiness away!
And frankly… it worked. (Typical.)
