On a taxi headed towards Hero Academy, two young ladies with entirely different styles, yet undeniably bursting with youthful vigor and adorable looks, were comfortably seated at the back.
One of them, with raven black hair revealing a pearl-white abdomen and legs, had her arms crossed. From her expression, this incredibly pale girl seemed somewhat troubled.
Beside her was a tanned beauty, her outfit consisted of cheeky hot pants barely covering her upper thighs and a white shirt revealing a significant amount of skin. Even glimpses of her ample cleavage and white bra could be spotted under the shirt. This svelte tan beauty confidently draped her arm around the white-skinned girl, chatting enthusiastically.
Despite the presence of these eye-catching young ladies in the backseat, the usually lewd taxi driver kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead and didn't glance back even once.
After witnessing a girl being hit at a minimum speed of 40 km/h without a scratch, then realizing both the victim and his stunning passenger were superhumans, the driver behaved as though he'd seen the light, leaving his lewd past behind.
"XiXi, your skin is so smooth and soft, but perhaps a bit too pale. It doesn't look very healthy," Meng XiaoMan chatted away, caressing the girl's arm now and again, indulging in its icy-smooth touch.
Liu XiYang, with the expression of a poker face, couldn't help but worry that she'd have many people calling her "XiXi" in the future. If she'd known, she might have changed her name to "Liu Ba".
"Meng, you're… getting a bit too close," feeling uncomfortable as Meng's uncontrolled touching continued, Liu subtly withdrew her arm.
Meng was puzzled for a moment when Liu subtly distanced herself, then she squinted her big eyes, seemingly excited by the reaction.
"Just call me Meng, there's nothing to be shy about! We're all girls here, if it makes you more comfortable, I don't mind if you touch me back," Meng laughed, in all her openness, she even pushed her chest out towards Liu.
Liu XiYang responded with an indignant "No way, no way," immediately closing her eyes and leaning back, startled by the view of Meng's voluptuous tan curves coming closer.
Upon seeing Liu XiYang's reaction, Meng XiaoMan burst into a fit of laughter, "XiXi, you're so adorable!"
Fortunately, Meng didn't make any further moves. Instead, she copied Liu's posture and settled comfortably on the back seat of the car, where she passionately started to share her life story.
Most of the time it was Meng talking enthusiastically while Liu, out of politeness, occasionally interjected with a "Hmm," "Yeah," "That's nice," and "Is that so?"
To be accurate, Meng had come from a small village not far from S City. After awakening her superpowers, she came to the city intending to achieve great things - she hoped to be able to afford to raise a dozen or so roly-poly pigs back in her village!
Lucky for her, when she first arrived in S City, she spotted a recruitment ad for Hero Academy. She'd heard that all graduates would be able to become professional heroes and even get a chance to work with A-level or even S Tier Heroes. Seeing such a promising opportunity at an institution that ensured job placement, she promptly enrolled and passed the initial assessment.However, due to her penniless state, Meng XiaoMan found a short-term job a few days before the opening of Hero Acadamy. She worked in a barbershop during the day, washing people's hair, and at night, she slept under newspapers on the teeter totter in a park. It's worth noting that Meng XiaoMan's sexy attire was actually learned from observing others in the barbershop. It was said to be the trendiest outfit for girls but all her clothes were cheap, roadside goods.
Though Liu XiYang wanted to make sarcastic remarks, she held her tongue after looking down at her own outfit which was just as revealing as Meng XiaoMan's. This was the necessary attire for a female fighter.
Even until the opening day of Hero Acadamy, in order to save money for a fulfilling breakfast, Meng XiaoMan had to set off from her usual nightly park one night ahead of time. Walking towards the distant Hero Acadamy, she arrived in the morning and consequently, saw a taxi Liu XiYang was in. The road it was on could only lead towards Hero Acadamy, so Meng XiaoMan decided to flag it down, hoping for a free ride.
After hearing Meng XiaoMan's story, Liu XiYang felt indescribably bitter… It wasn't anything else but that this girl looking as naive as Li Shi Ning seemed to be really pitiful.
Sleeping in the park, covered by newspapers and not being able to have enough food... Being a superhuman yet living such a low life… Thinking about these, Liu XiYang felt that she couldn’t hold her indifference towards her any longer. It was only right to show her some kindness.
However, at this point, Liu XiYang felt a sensation like a surge of electricity running through her brain and looked at Meng XiaoMan in amazement, hands covering her stomach.
"What are you doing?" Huh? Why was she touching my stomach!!? Is it a trend among girls nowadays to touch each other's stomachs? Liu XiYang asked Meng XiaoMan, her eyes filled with suspicion.
"Uh... I, I just couldn’t resist as your stomach looks so good. Is this the legendary abs line? I don't have it..." Meng XiaoMan retracted her hand from Liu XiYang's stomach and laughed with some embarrassment.
“…” Liu XiYang glanced at Meng XiaoMan’s slim waistline. Although not as defined as her own, it still looked good. However, should she now feel obliged to reciprocate the touch? Liu XiYang wondered.
As Meng XiaoMan looked down Liu XiYang’s body and between her legs, Liu XiYang swiftly closed her legs.
Hey, hey, hey... She can't just touch wherever she wants to! If she touched anything peculiar, Liu XiYang would surely be reported as a pervert!
Apparently realizing her gaze was a tad too direct, Meng XiaoMan stuck out her tongue at Liu XiYang and leaned back, pretending nothing had happened. But this time, Meng XiaoMan seemingly intentionally or not, leaned in Liu XiYang's direction.
Thankfully, until they reached Hero Acadamy in the taxi, Meng XiaoMan didn't behave in an outlandish manner, despite persistently acting as if she was particularly close to Liu XiYang, and occasionally unintentionally touching Liu Xi Yang’s arm. Liu XiYang, although not bothered, couldn't help feeling exceedingly suspicious... If it weren't for the two real bosoms against her arm, Liu XiYang would’ve doubted if Meng XiaoMan was a cross-dressing guy like her!
However, in Liu XiYang's view, maybe Meng XiaoMan believed that they were both girls and was grateful for the free ride, so she developed a liking for the 'innocent' her. Liu XiYang herself was uncertain whether she had taken advantage of Meng XiaoMan or if it were the other way round.Arriving at Hero Academy, luggage was retrieved from the trunk of the cab. After paying the fare, the driver who had slyly glanced at Liu XiYang for numerous times now didn't even dare to count the money. He hastily drove off as if he feared he could not escape if he did not leave immediately.
Although it was referred to as luggage, it was merely a backpack. Inside were a few outfits for change, well... primarily underwear. All of Liu XiYang's clothes were boxer shorts. After all, even when dressed in female attire, it was hard to imagine Liu XiYang sporting women's bloomers.
He took a baseball cap out of his bag and put it on his head. Accompanied by Meng XiaoMan, who was insistent that she would work hard to earn the money to pay Liu XiYang back for the cab fare, they walked together into Hero Academy. From the outside, the school seemed no different from any ordinary school. Yet, its land occupied was at least several times larger than a regular one. It was the world's first specialized academy built specifically for those with superpowers.
