“Wow, look at that beauty over there. She’s so gorgeous.”
“Why do I feel like I’ve seen this beautiful girl somewhere before?”
“I remember now! She looks like the lady boss of Shuxi Bento!”
“Wait, why is she entering Class 18, that bottom-tier class?!”
After speaking with Teacher Yu Qi over the phone, Su Qi, who had turned into a girl, felt some resistance in her heart about returning to school.
However, based on the principle that one can hide for a while but not forever, she realized her identity could no longer be concealed.
Considering she had nothing else to do today and after thinking it over, Su Qi finally decided to return to Spiritual Martial University during the break between the first and second classes.
Walking through the campus, Su Qi had always been an invisible, obscure boy in the past.
But because she had turned into a beautiful girl, she felt the gazes of numerous college students along the way.
Even though she was often stared at while selling bento, how should she put it? The thought that those watching her now were her university classmates — people she actually knew — made her feel embarrassed in every sense of the word.
Fortunately, Su Qi had An Xiaoling, the aggressive little loli, by her side today.
With her protection, many boys with ill intentions were kept at bay.
As for Lin Xue, who was also in the Cangyou Wildcat Team, she had been entrusted by Su Ran to take good care of Su Xixi.
After all, the little guy had just arrived in human society.
If she were brought to school, even though she was cute and wouldn’t hurt anyone, Su Qi felt the little one might be frightened by seeing so many people at once.
“A Qi, you’ve come to school.”
When Su Qi walked into the classroom, perhaps because of the many people watching in the hallway, she was met by her good brother Mo Yu, who hurried forward as soon as she reached the door.
Hearing Mo Yu’s familiar address of ‘A Qi,’ the students of the bottom-tier Class 18, who were waiting for class to start, were momentarily stunned.
Then, their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at Su Qi. Someone finally spoke up.
“So, you’re saying this beautiful girl is Su Qi?”
Today, Su Ran was wearing a very ordinary, pale yellow summer dress. There was nothing special about the dress; it had no gorgeous decorations or unique designs. However, such a plain dress radiated a different kind of charm on Su Qi’s body.
Her slender waist, which seemed as if it could be held in a single hand, was perfectly outlined by the dress, looking as though a breeze might break it.
The delicate, snowy skin peeking out from under the hem was like mutton-fat jade, glowing with a wonderful white light that made people want to reach out and feel its silky texture.
Of course, the most attractive thing was Su Qi’s exquisite face.
Her skin was as white as snow, and at this moment, she lowered her head slightly in shame.
Her face carried a hint of girlish bashfulness and innocence, a kind of beauty that made people fall head over heels.
Faced with such a Su Qi, two people among the astonished crowd of Class 18 were particularly shocked.
One was Wei Mian, known as the Warm God of Class 18.
After the Succubus Incident, the drained Wei Mian had only recovered his vitality and been discharged from the hospital yesterday.
When he came to school for makeup classes today, he saw Su Boss, the teammate who had saved him from fire and water.
The thought that Su Boss’s true identity was actually his classmate, Su Qi, left Wei Mian in utter shock.
As for the other even more surprised person, it was Li Jian, who had previously picked a fight with Su Ran and activated his Fitness Guru Ability. Lately, Li Jian felt he was very unlucky. Having activated an A Rank Ability, he thought his future would be bright. He had even made a plan for himself: first, join an adventure team to show off his skills, become famous among adventure teams because of his strength, and then money, status, and beautiful girls would all be his.
However, things often didn’t go as planned.
So far, he hadn’t successfully joined an adventure team. During his first interview with an adventure team in the Snake Spirit Forest, Li Jian was ambushed by a Purple Spirit Snake, leading to his failure.
For the second time, after putting on a pair of iron trousers, he participated in another interview.
In the end, he actually encountered a mutated, giant Purple Spirit Snake and was knocked unconscious.
To formally join an adventure team, Li Jian went on a crazy weightlifting spree after the second failure, raising his Ability to Level 2. Yesterday, he decided to go for another interview.
The result was something Li Jian hadn’t expected… there was actually a three-headed Purple Spirit Snake Boss in that Snake Spirit Forest.
The outcome… he fainted the moment they met.
Thinking about these repeated interview failures in the Purple Snake Forest, Li Jian, who didn’t have many friends in the elite Class 2, returned to Class 18 after class to feel better.
He wanted to find his old classmates to vent, open up his heart, and incidentally complain about Su Qi.
But what was he seeing now? The pretty boy he used to look down on the most, that weak and fragile Su Qi… He — no, she was actually a girl? And a super, unrivaled beauty at that? She was even the exact type he liked best.
How was this possible?
While Li Jian was incredibly shocked by Su Qi’s identity as a young woman, some other students spoke up.
“Li Jian, you’re really too much. Classmate Su Qi didn’t provoke you before, so why were you always making things difficult for her?”
“That’s right, bullying a girl. I, Nailiang, disdain being associated with you.”
The classmates who were just talking to Li Jian first looked at the fragile, protective-looking girl Su Qi, and then at the muscular Li Jian. They all switched sides.
Facing the sudden backstab from his former friends who had chosen beauty over loyalty, Li Jian felt a tightness in his chest.
He instinctively wanted to speak, but looking at Su Qi’s weak and beautiful appearance, he ultimately remained silent, his mouth tightly shut. Only deep regret remained.
Su Qi saw all the little things happening in the classroom because of her.
Although she had expected something like this before coming to school, now that her identity was exposed, she still felt embarrassed in every sense of the word!
“Are you Classmate Su Qi?”
Just as Su Qi was about to enter the classroom, flanked by An Xiaoling and Mo Yu, a deep, middle-aged voice rang out from behind her.
Looking toward the sound, Su Qi quickly saw a familiar bald head reflecting the sunlight.
“Qi… no, Teacher Yu Qi, hello.”
Because she was nervous, Su Ran almost blurted out Teacher Yu Qi’s nickname.
Fortunately, Su Qi’s reactions were fast.
Realizing she almost misspoke, she quickly covered her cherry lips with her pale, small hand.
Seeing Su Qi make such a girlish and cute gesture, and seeing the students of Class 18 grow excited after she did so, Teacher Yu Qi, the class teacher, rubbed his forehead helplessly.
He then waved at Su Qi.
“Classmate Su Qi, it’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s go to the office first to talk about your Ability in detail.”
Hearing that they were going to the office, Su Qi wasn’t surprised.
After all, when an Ability User awakens, they usually go to the office for verification to maintain privacy.
Someone like Li Jian, who sought attention by verifying in the classroom, was a rarity.
Following Teacher Yu Qi’s lead, Su Qi walked toward the office.
In the next second, to Su Qi’s surprise, Mo Yu and An Xiaoling both grabbed her arms and followed along in sync.
Seeing this, before Su Qi could even ask, Teacher Yu Qi, who was walking ahead, looked at his watch and said softly, “An Xiaoling, Classmate Mo Yu, class is about to start soon. You two should go back to the classroom.”
In response to Teacher Yu Qi’s urging, An Xiaoling and Mo Yu, who were clinging to Su Qi’s arms on both sides, looked at each other.
Then, as if they had made up their minds, they said in unison:
“Teacher Yu Qi, I have also awakened an Ability!”
Hearing An Xiaoling and Mo Yu’s synchronized statement, Teacher Yu Qi was momentarily stunned. Then, a large question mark slowly appeared above his bald head.
‘Emmmmm, what is going on here?’
Students these days were really hard to manage.
‘If you have an Ability, why do one, two, and three of you keep hiding it?!’
