Spare Me, Great Lord!

Li Qi allowed Lu Shu into the group and they added each other as friends online. And of course, Li Qi had to give his introductory speech as he patted Lu Shu on the shoulders, “We are considered brothers once you enter this group. We can’t be weaker than the students from the other schools since this school is our home ground. Keep it up guys, if I can awaken, so can you.”

Haha, Lu Shu opened up the group chat and saw that there were over 70 people in this group which was more than the number of people in his own class. Interesting…

He didn’t care about earning glory for his own school, forming gangs or whether others had awakened or not. With his sole desire being the group of people which he could interact with, the more the merrier!

United we stand! Yet another noble, far-sighted wisdom!

Lu Shu sent his greetings to everyone in the group and started adding them as friends in his contact list. Li Qi was pleased to witness that this classmate of his was very sociable!

Actually, Lu Shu was rather well-known within the school due to his circumstances and needless to say, any other student in any other school who sells eggs outside their main entrance would definitely be famous as well.

Most people knew that Lu Shu was a sickly, fragile-looking orphan who brings another orphan around. But what they did not expect was for Lu Shu’s name to make it to the nominal roll of the Daoyuan class.

Currently, everyone in the group who was enrolled in the Daoyuan class had one common trait: Even before becoming a Metahuman, they were outstanding in their own ways.

Lu Shu, however, did not fulfill these criteria.

As week one arrived, it was time for Daoyuan class to start its curriculum and Li Qi sent a message to the group, “At night after class, shall we all gather for dinner? There’s a steamboat place along Jian Dong street which is quite decent and it opens until quite late. Since we’re in the same class, let’s take this as an opportunity to foster good rapport between each other and to learn more about one another.”

“Sure, I don’t mind. I’ve been there before, it just costs about 10 dollars and you can definitely eat your fill.”

“Alright, we’ll be fighting the same war in the future so let’s get to know each other!!”

“Haha, just a bit of alcohol and we’ll know each other very well!” Li Qi replied while chuckling.

As for Lu Shu, he had no interest whatsoever when he saw the chat group. He didn’t have any money and was definitely not going.

Were 10 plus dollars considered money to him?

Nope.

It was considered his life to him- his life!

“Speaking of the Daoyuan class, what are they actually going to teach us? Does anyone have any insider info? Their confidentiality is so flawless that even my dad who works in the government does not have any news on it.”

“God knows what they’ll teach us, perhaps a way to awaken to our powers maybe.”

“Will we be enhancing ourselves there or something?”

Lu Shu suddenly realized that if so many of these metahuman reserves were to really awaken, then where would they be placed? It would definitely be most suited for the organization to adopt all these new metahumans as part of their own force.

He did not join in the discussion but found out that the neighboring class’ female student was part of this group as well while he was adding those new contacts as his friends. After adding her as a friend, he even sent a smiley face to her.

In the end, she just read the message and did not reply at all.

Tsk tsk, so unfriendly. That day, Lu Shu felt that her personality could possibly be more introverted than others and that was why she was observing calmly from the sidelines as everyone was making a commotion in the chat group.

Yes, calmly.

At that moment, Lu Shu acknowledged that this girl could perhaps be more intelligent than Li Qi as she was concealing herself within the ranks of the reserves.

Lu Shu guessed that he was probably the only one in the whole school who knew that she had already awakened. And as for himself, Lu Xiaoyu was the only one who knew about him.

There were many new faces in the school just from this afternoon. They were all students who were here with their parents to carry out their transference procedure as those who were selected to join the Daoyuan Class had to be enrolled in this school.

Right after class, Lu Shu was looking over the railings at the corridor towards the mass of people. The crowd was too messy and he could not detect any waves of powers being emitted from any of the transfer students.

It seemed like even if there were those who had already awakened in that group of transfer students, there weren’t many.

There were a few transfer students arranged to join each class and for just Lu Shu’s class, there were 11 of them!

The citywide enrollees of Daoyuan Class had all gathered in Luo Cheng International School and on average, every class had to accept quite a number of transfer students.

Lu Shu realized that all those who had transferred to his class seemed rather energetic. And amongst them was this skinny female student who looked exceptionally good with her short hair and her mixed-blood looks. Her choice of clothing was a little tomboyish and she had an air of coolness around her.

But some guys preferred this type of girls and there were all types of girls out there for every sort of preferences.

Since there were new students coming in, they had to rearrange the seating plan. Ye Lingling suddenly became agitated and throughout the whole process, strongly requested to switch places in order to avoid being deskies with Lu Shu…

She was afraid that Lu Shu would bring out the worst in her.

Just at this moment, that mixed-blood girl was chosen by Shi Qingyan to be seated beside Lu Shu and a lot of people in the class shot him a look of envy.

Lu Shu was shocked to find out that this girl, when stood up straight, was just a little shorter than him. And for your information: Lu Shu was 180cm tall.

This girl was rather polite as she sat down and smiled at Lu Shu, “Good day.”

“How good?” Lu Shu subconsciously shot her down. This guy did not discriminate as to who he was cynical too, be it gender, age or looks.

The other party was flabbergasted! Her new deskie did not follow the logical order of things! How was she supposed to reply him, how could she have known how good his day was?

“From Jiang Shuyi’s distress, +27… …”

Jiang Shuyi thought for a while and changed the topic, “My name is Jiang Shuyi, I transferred over from Second Middle High and I’m a boy.”

This time, it was Lu Shu’s turn to be stunned. He felt that if he could absorb his own distress points, he probably would be able to redeem a whole Celestial fruit from it.

Lu Shu checked out the other party’s throat and saw that he really had an Adam’s apple… …

Oh my god, Lu Shu had no strength to protest. No wonder that “girl” was almost as tall as him, so she was actually a dude!

The other party even specifically stated his gender which meant that he had been misunderstood by others often.

After looking at his Adam’s apple, he continued to scan downwards… Mmm, it’s flat.

“From Jiang Shuyi’s distress, +189!”

The situation was very awkward as his downward gaze was caught by the other party and Lu Shu gave off two forced coughs before remaining silent.

In the evening, Shi Qingyan entered the class and gave Lu Shu and Liu Li’s gang of four, including the 11 newly transferred students a pass each which could be worn around the neck.

He then told all of them that they needed this pass to enter the school after 6.30pm.

After class had ended, all the form teachers stood outside their class and ensured that no student stayed behind, clearing all of the classrooms.

Even basketball games were not allowed in the courtyard and everyone had to go home. Subsequently, the school grounds were filled with many sturdy-looking security troopers who coordinated the clearance of the school.

Lu Shu could not help but let out a sigh. Their job was executed thoroughly and while Lu Shu was leaving the school, he saw with his own eyes that these security troopers cleared every single class without skipping any single one. There were almost a hundred of these men and this security service was not something a school could afford.

Classes would end at 6 in the evening while the Daoyuan class would commence at 7. As such, Lu Shu rushed home to prepare dinner for Lu Xiaoyu and in the process, instructed her to focus on her revision.

After preparing dinner, Lu Shu found out that the clothes he had changed out of from yesterday were washed and hung up on the veranda, causing him to feel a little happy inside.
