"…Um, hello, Yunli. About what the teacher just said—"
"Sorry, I wasn't listening. Don't ask me, and stay away from me!"
Faced with such a low-level pick-up attempt, Yunli directly delivered a clean combo of rejections.
It was currently the break between classes.
In her previous life, she wouldn't have cared much about this kind of thing. But now that she was a girl, she genuinely disliked interacting with boys—
Especially those who tried to approach her with ulterior motives.
University students were, after all, in the prime of their youth.
Since enrolling, Yunli had already encountered countless similar situations.
After all, a high-value, cute girl like her was simply too rare.
With a face comparable to a 2D character, unique hair color, and distinct pupils—
She had unknowingly triggered who knew how many people's 'peculiar' preferences.
However, Yunli rejected all of them without hesitation.
As for those thick-skinned types, she couldn't even be bothered to argue.
If not for Mo Xin repeatedly holding her back, she would have long since lost her temper.
It could be said that, aside from her universally adored appearance, everyone also knew—
She was someone who spoke bluntly and possessed terrifying strength.
After all, who could have imagined that such a seemingly delicate Little Girl could casually lift a desk bolted to the floor with one hand?
At the time, everyone present had been completely stunned.
From that moment on, people understood—
This "little ancestor" might look harmless, but she was absolutely not someone to provoke.
If anyone really tried to stuff her into a sack—
It was hard to say who would end up inside.
…
Now, after dismissing yet another pursuer, Yunli leaned back lazily in her seat.
She placed a book over her face and immediately began spacing out.
Attend class? I've already done "Three Years of Exams, Five Years of Mock Tests" for several lifetimes—don't even think about making me go through that again in this life!
"Speaking of which… lately, has Little Qian been influenced by Mo Xin or something?"
As the next class was about to begin, Yunli removed the book from her face and muttered to herself.
Not long ago, Song Qianqian had suddenly taken several consecutive days off.
Such an unannounced absence naturally made the dormitory anxious.
Although she later brushed it off with a simple explanation—
"I've just been a bit tired lately. My mental state isn't great."
—it didn't completely dispel Yunli's suspicions.
In the following days, Yunli noticed something even stranger.
Song Qianqian had suddenly become obsessed with reading novels.
And they were all of a specific type—
Cultivation.
Supernatural abilities.
Urban fantasy.
While Mu Yao didn't think much of it, Yunli—who understood Song Qianqian quite well—felt otherwise.
The truth is often hidden in the most unlikely places…
When all the wrong answers are eliminated, whatever remains—no matter how absurd—might be the truth…
So… could Little Qian have awakened some kind of Supernatural Ability?
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
However, given their current relationship as roommates, it wasn't appropriate for her to directly ask.
Forget it. I'll deal with it later.
With Acheron around, Little Qian should be fine.
Having reached that conclusion, Yunli shook her head and dismissed the thought.
Right now—
Sleep was more important.
Recently, Mo Xin had developed a habit of sneaking into her bed at night under various excuses.
Although Yunli had successfully chased her away several times—
There were also times when Mo Xin succeeded.
Yunli wasn't as resistant to it anymore, but she still wasn't used to how easily her face would heat up.
Thinking of this, Yunli was just about to take a nap—
When her gaze subconsciously drifted toward the empty seats nearby.
"Eh? Where's Mo Xin?"
She frowned slightly, her fingers tapping lightly against the desk.
"Didn't she ask me to help her check in? Could she still be sleeping?"
Muttering to herself, she scanned the classroom, searching for that familiar figure.
…
Meanwhile—
"Haaah… Is Yunli's class not over yet?"
Inside the training hall of the Muyun City Ability Bureau, Mo Xin slowly sat up from the sofa, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
Her hair was slightly messy, and her eyelids were still heavy.
Early that morning, the Supernatural Ability team had mentioned gathering for something.
Already too lazy to attend class, Mo Xin had simply come straight to the Ability Bureau.
After taking a short nap, she suddenly realized—
It wasn't even time for classes to end yet.
Thump!
"Ouch!?"
Just as she was lost in thought, a sharp pain struck the top of her head.
Turning around, she saw none other than Captain Chen Yuxuan standing behind her.
He looked at her with clear disappointment.
"Why are you here again? Didn't your military training end already?"
The Muyun City Ability Bureau was usually quite relaxed.
Aside from necessary missions, students like Mo Xin and Mu Yao weren't required to show up every day.
And yet—
Mo Xin had taken things to another level.
Using "Ability Bureau duties" as an excuse, she had practically spent her entire military training period hiding here.
Out of respect for Yunli, Chen Yuxuan and the others hadn't interfered before.
But now that they had grown more familiar, the distance between them had faded.
And with that familiarity came irritation.
If this were my daughter, I'd have already grabbed a slipper and disciplined her!
Despite not even having a partner, Chen Yuxuan's "fatherly concern" had appeared out of nowhere.
After some deep reflection, he decided—
He could no longer allow Mo Xin to continue down this lazy path.
Meanwhile, seeing the captain look at her as if she were hopeless—
Mo Xin immediately straightened up, ignoring the pain, and forced an awkward smile.
But before she could speak, another voice interrupted—
"Yo, isn't this Little Sister Mo Xin? Back to slack off at the Ability Bureau again?"
"Brother Lu can tell at a glance—your future is boundless!"
Lu Hao: (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Mo Xin: (ꐦÒ‸Ó)
"Cough, cough… Captain~ If I say I came early to train my Supernatural Ability, would you believe me?"
Mo Xin gave a dry cough, making one last desperate attempt.
Chen Yuxuan: (눈_눈)
Judging from his expression—
It clearly failed.
Fortunately, after glaring at her for a moment, he didn't pursue the matter further.
…
The training hall wasn't like those described in novels.
Instead, it resembled an ordinary gym.
The only real difference—
The walls were far sturdier.
Aside from that, there were just a few specially designed pieces of equipment.
After all, most Ability Users below Level Three were still within the limits of ordinary humans.
In the early stages, there was no need for anything too advanced.
Moreover, Ability Users hadn't existed for very long.
The country's technological development hadn't reached the level of sci-fi fantasy yet.
So naturally, there was no such thing as those high-tech training devices.
Off to the side, Mo Xin half-heartedly began practicing her ability.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuxuan led Lu Hao through basic physical training.
This continued—
Until the door to the training hall was pushed open.
"I'm here, Captain. Is there something going on today?"
"Ah, Mu Yao! You—why are you here?"
Mo Xin looked toward the entrance in surprise, staring at the unexpected newcomer.
