The crime committed by the metahumans had caused a huge uproar in the country. When Lu Shu got back to class in the afternoon, he found that the entire class was discussing the incident.
Normal students were asking if the Daoyuan students knew anything about the incident. But the Daoyuan students were clueless as well. Where could they find information about the incident?
However, a majority of the people here had such tendencies. When faced with some questions, they would subconsciously ask those around them who were seemingly ‘related’ to that topic. For example, even if Person A’s friend was an orthopedic surgeon and Person A was going to go through a coronary artery bypass surgery, Person A would ask his orthopedic surgeon friend: How safe was a coronary artery bypass surgery?
And ultimately, the orthopedic would give an ambiguous reply, how would he know?
Person A would think, you’re a doctor how would you not know?
So when the normal students asked the Daoyuan students about the incident last night, the final result was like the blind leading the blind. Everyone knew nothing.
But the attention of Daoyuan students was drawn to the strength of the criminals.
Everyone saw the video footage of the killer techniques used. Even their class form teacher, Xi Fei, was there. They didn’t even know if there were Daoyuan class lessons today. Apparently, out of the seven people who were injured or killed in the first wave, five were Daoyuan class form teachers…
At this moment, everyone had a question they all wanted to ask: What if they were the ones up against the metahumans? Would they survive?
This was a very real question. Today, the class form teachers dealt with the criminals. Once the students trained to a certain level, wouldn’t they be the ones encountering all these battles? If not what was the point of Daoyuan class distributing all the resources for training. Was it for them to train happily and peacefully until the day they retire?
Definitely not.
When the danger has not arrived, most people wouldn’t think of it as many people didn’t have the mindset of being prepared in times of peace.
When the danger arrives, some people would think of methods to evade it. Not everyone was brave enough to face impending danger to maintain the world’s peace.
The normal students at the side were worried about the issues of Daoyuan class, “If Daoyuan class was forced to confront these dangerous problems, would you guys still be willing to be part of Daoyuan class?”
Lu Shu found that statement ridiculous as if they could be part of Daoyuan class? This sort of hypothesis was illogical.
Another person thought before saying, “If I could choose, I wouldn’t go!”
“Are you dumb? What’s the point of nurturing you? By then you wouldn’t have a choice!”
“Wouldn’t we be like dogs? I’d rather have freedom!”
“Your words are too nasty. A house-owned dog is many times more fortunate than a stray. At least there’s food, water, and shelter!”
“How would you know if a dog is happy or not, you’re not a dog!”
Lu Shu laughed silently, “How are you guys not dogs, lonely dogs are still dogs.”
A few classmates swung their heads towards Lu Shu… They knew he was hurling insults at them!
“From…”
It was yet another huge wave of distress points… Everyone could only blame themselves for choosing to talk about this topic.
Speaking of which, what’s wrong with Liu Li? Why did he arm-wrestle this guy to trigger his awakening! Can’t even beat him in a fight now!
Jiang Shuyi watched Lu Shu ridicule their classmates from his seat silently. He didn’t have many opinions about that as he knew Lu Shu wasn’t particularly well liked in class, and even more so now.
If it was him, it wouldn’t be just words. He would probably be throwing tables at people.
But he was rather curious, “Don’t you intend to be friends with anyone?” This time, Jiang Shuyi noticed the biggest problem. It was as though this person was independent and did not intend to join any group. There was a huge distance no matter who he might interact with.
He looked at Jiang Shuyi, “Aren’t we friends.”
This statement caught Jiang Shuyi off-guard… And replied after thinking, “I wasn’t referring to me. I meant your relationship with other classmates. There always seems like a distance.”
Lu Shu snapped back, “I feel that there should be some distance between people. Sometimes you might feel that you have a good friend, but you wouldn’t know what he actually thinks of you behind your back. More distance means fewer problems, it’s not like people can’t live alone. That’s why I feel that distance is good for everyone.”
Jiang Shuyi sat silently thinking about his words…
“Have you heard anything about last night’s incident?” Lu Shu asked softly. Jiang Shuyi had family members within the heavenly network, so he wanted to know if Jiang Shuyi had any insider information.
Jiang Shuyi pondered for a moment and said, “Last night, a class C practitioner suddenly appeared in Luo Cheng. He is really powerful and was responsible for hurting the criminal. The heavenly network is currently looking for him, but haven’t had any clue.”
Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. No clue is good, no clue is good…
“And meanwhile, I don’t even know when I can rise to class C,” Jiang Shuyi sighed, “I’m so envious of all these powerful practitioners.”
Lu Shu was secretly happy. There was no need to be envious, he wasn’t that strong anyway.
Being complimented in person felt quite good…
…
In the afternoon, every class form teacher informed the students to bring a chair to the square for a schoolwide assembly.
No one thought much about it as it was common to have assemblies in high school. Basically, there was at least one in every two months.
It was normal to have many boring talks during assembly… They have all experienced too much of it.
But some students enjoyed such events. These assemblies usually lasted two hours and everyone just sat at the square without doing much. There was no need to learn, and the students could chat freely and even sing…
Today, however, felt different. In the past, there would be tables on the stage for speakers but there was none today. On the stage instead was a fatty smiling at everyone.
There was this feeling that this fatty… was rather proud…
“Who is that? Have you guys seen him before?
“Nope…”
Once everyone was settled down, the fatty began speaking. He didn’t even require a microphone and spoke with confidence with everyone hearing him clearly, “Good afternoon everyone. Today’s assembly is to inform everyone that from today onwards, I’ll be your new principal.”
At this moment, Lu Shu could sense the power in the fatty’s body. It was like a huge fireball standing on the stage. That power resonated with the heaven and earth, and it felt as if a storm was brewing! He had only gotten this feeling from Li Xianyi and Nie Ting before!
Who was this? Lu Shu was rather stunned, but he hid it well. Without Nie Ting and Li Xianyi’s reference, he could not make out the exact class of this guy.
Class B, definitely class B!
What Lu Shu missed out on was that the new principal was actually a heavenly king!
