Chapter 30
In the past, Luo Cheng international school had erected a building specifically for foreign teachers. It was known as the Music building and every cla.s.s had an allocated time to attend lessons by them.
But due to the high costs of hiring those foreign teachers and how their lessons were not exactly very popular among the students, the program was eventually stopped and the building had been empty since.
Lu Shu figured that the Daoyuan cla.s.s was going to be held in this building.
Regardless of how the world would view this in the future, every student in Luo Cheng international school was waiting in antic.i.p.ation for their cla.s.s representatives to announce the list for Daoyuan cla.s.s.
Everyone had guessed that the officials must have identified the potential metahumans through the blood test and the list was about to be revealed.
This time, it was not about grades, appearances or family backgrounds. Anyone could be on this list.
This was like putting everyone at the same starting line again. No matter which official or which company's CEO your dad was, G.o.d was going to be fair when it came to this, right?
Everyone had that in their minds, thinking that they themselves had a chance to awaken and this was also why the topic was so widespread.
But Lu Shu knew that this world had never been fair and it never will be.
If not for the refresher fruit, his training would be much more sluggish and so his objective should be to keep earning more distress points.
Although he had the refresher fruit to help with training, there was another problem- his apt.i.tude.
It was needless to say that everyone was born with different apt.i.tudes and potentials, just like intellect and talents, there was always a huge difference.
Lu Shu thought that since the black coats had not approached him, then his blood must have no problem. Seemed like keeping all the celestial powers within the map was useful.
But could he enter the Daoyuan cla.s.s? And what exactly would they teach in that cla.s.s?
If his name was on the list, should he enter or not?
Of course, he should. Logically speaking, everyone chosen should enter because rejecting the cla.s.s would mean you either had some mental issues or some other problems.
For the interest of training, if Lu Shu could find a platform to learn about the government's knowledge on abilities, he could save a lot of time instead of trying to figure it out on his own.
As of now, Lu Shu was training very inefficiently, having to try different things and there was no one he could consult. Overall, it was very energy consuming.
And since those people could not detect his body's abnormality, he might as well join them.
The idea of going with the flow and gaining more experience while training on his own had a nice ring to it!
While considering all these, he was also studying and his mult.i.tasking was going quite well. The people around him had started teasing each other, "You're definitely on the list!"
"Haha, no way, that would be you!"
Such hypocrites…Lu Shu shook his head.
Seeing Lu Shu studying, Ye Lingling commented sarcastically, "What's the point in studying now? Times have changed. No matter what you do, some people are bound to be failures."
Lu Shu rolled his eyes. He did not agree but thought, "In any time or generation, there would always be people working to build the foundation of the society right? You cannot possibly ask the metahumans to go build underground sewers. She must be really confident... And what is with that look of hers, does she really think she will awaken...."
At this moment, s.h.i.+ Qingyan, holding onto some papers, walked in. Following beside him was a young man wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses and he had quite a gentle smile.
The others might not be aware but Lu Shu recognized him. He was one of the two black coats who was hunting Liang Che down on that snowy night of New Years.
But he was finally here and as he stood there quietly, Lu Shu could feel the immense strength and power this guy possessed.
s.h.i.+ Qingyan looked at the students, "The city had decided to set up a Daoyuan cla.s.s in our school and these unique students will go through a series of lessons to cultivate their talents. And this person next to me will be the teacher in charge of the Daoyuan cla.s.s."
The students looked at one another in awe. If that man was the Daoyuan cla.s.s in charge, then did that mean that he was a metahuman?!
s.h.i.+ Qingyan proceeded to take out the papers, " I will be reading out the list now. Those names that have been called please wait outside the staff room as your teacher in charge have something to speak to you about. From tomorrow onwards, you will be reporting to the Daoyuan cla.s.s at 7 pm but for normal cla.s.ses, you will still need to attend as per your current cla.s.s."
The students' eyes all lit up and became alert to what was being said. This was such a critical moment for them!
"Liu Li," Rock Qing Yan read out the names one by one, waiting for the student to leave before reading out the next name. The first name read was soph.o.m.ore cla.s.s 3's cla.s.s representative.
"Li Qing Yu."
"Yuan Ling Qi."
Every time a name was called, that person would blush with excitement! How exciting!
Even when walking out of the cla.s.sroom, they would walk upright and proud, as if they were afraid to embarra.s.s the reputation of metahumans.
As the names were being read, the remaining students whose names were not called started to be worried.
Who would be next? Someone had already asked the cla.s.ses next door and it seemed like every cla.s.s had about 4-5 and the most were 6 while some cla.s.ses had only 3.
So how many did this cla.s.s have?
So far three names had been called and these people were those others felt were most likely to awaken. They all had a common trait and that was their dominant disposition. Could it be in their genes?
Previously everyone had thought that G.o.d was fair but now they had realized, G.o.d was unfair after all. These people already had a strong presence and now it was still the same.
Seeing the trend, some of the students had started to lose hope.
But it was comforting that at least they were still part of the majority. It was not the case that only they were not chosen. Look at Lu Shu, his grades were so good but he was also not chosen.
The thought of this was quite comforting and this was human's nature at its purest.
s.h.i.+ Qingyan read the last name, "Lu Shu."
The cla.s.s suddenly quietened down, as though it was the end of the world.
"Lu Shu?" Someone voiced out his doubts.
"Yes, Lu Shu," s.h.i.+ Qingyan nodded, "Okay, I'm done. The rest of you can continue with your work."
Having finished reading the list, s.h.i.+ Qingyan noticed Lu Shu who was still in his seat, "Lu Shu?"
At the moment, new updates were appearing inside his records, "+411, +419, +577, +177, +99...
"You guys... are too generous!"
