update icon Updated at 2023/7/1 2:10:12

Liu XiYang, walking towards Building 9 with Meng XiaoMan, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after comparing the number of people in the other buildings. "Ah Man, have you noticed that there seem to be a lot more students in the other buildings, while our side seems to have significantly fewer... Could it be because we're in the elite class?" Although Liu XiYang's job was only to protect the young lady, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pride when he noticed the difference in treatment between him and others.

However...

"No, actually, the smaller the number, the higher the superpower evaluation level. So we are not the most powerful, but rather the worst class in the entire school." Meng XiaoMan, seeming to know something that Liu XiYang didn't, explained with a proud look on her face.

Wait, hold on, my superpower is at least high-speed reaction, and it turns out to be the worst evaluation level!! And if it's the worst class, why are you looking so proud!! No wonder earlier when others looked at Liu XiYang and Meng XiaoMan, there was a hint of regret in their eyes, it turned out it was because of their poor potential!

Although Liu XiYang didn't mind these titles, there was still something that made him somewhat puzzled... Because Liu XiYang had heard that Su CongShuang, the young lady he was supposed to protect and the precious daughter of the major shareholder in the Hero Association, Su WeiSheng, was a once-in-a-millennium genius, rumored to have even studied under the legendary sect, Shang Yang Palace. She could be considered a true prodigy.

Liu XiYang thought that he would be assigned to the same class as Miss Su CongShuang, but unexpectedly, he was placed in the worst class... Although it was unclear why Su CongShuang had transferred from Shang Yang Palace to Hero Academy, that divine prodigy couldn't possibly be placed in the worst class like Liu XiYang...

Before Liu XiYang could finish his thoughts, he and Meng XiaoMan had already entered the building of Class 9. As they entered the lobby, they saw a girl in white, carrying a jade-green sword box on her back, her ink-black hair cascading down her back. The whole person seemed like an ethereal fairy, exquisite and otherworldly... At the same time, upon noticing the arrival of Liu XiYang and Meng XiaoMan, her clear eyes glanced in their direction, but only briefly before she turned her head and closed her eyes.

"Wow... XiXi, that young lady is so beautiful, like a fairy." Meng XiaoMan, with her mouth open, looked in the direction of the white-clad girl, full of admiration.

"Yeah, she does look like a fairy." Hahaha, although she looks like a fairy, she's still placed in the worst class just like us! Although Liu XiYang had just slapped himself, he still wanted to approach that fairy and ask her about her thoughts after being placed in the worst class as a divine prodigy. It felt like it might be too much fun.

Yes, that white-clad fairy was none other than Miss Su CongShuang, the target of Liu XiYang's mission!

Just then, a voice full of excitement suddenly resounded in the lobby where Liu XiYang was.

"Oh my god!! Zhan Xiong! Zhu Xiong!! Look, look! I can't believe it! Our class... our class actually has three gorgeous girls!! This is perfect for us to... hehe." A voice that sounded a bit greedy shouted with overwhelming excitement.

Following the direction of the voice, Liu XiYang saw all the students in the worst class of Hero Academy, aside from the fairy, Su CongShuang.Alright, here is the translation:

It may seem like there were only six people in total, including Liu XiYang and Meng XiaoMan... One of them is a studious-looking guy, wearing glasses and with a scholarly aura. Two boys are standing beside him, one with a gloomy expression and a purple headband, carrying a huge sword on his back. The other is a silent teenager who looks ordinary, like a typical extra in any setting. The remaining three are Liu XiYang, Meng XiaoMan, and Su CongShuang, three girls. (Liu XiYang: ???)

Apart from the scholarly guy who just spoke, the rest seem to be very quiet. The young man with the sword just glanced at Liu XiYang and Meng XiaoMan before turning his attention away, while the silent teenager blushed and looked down after taking a quick glance at the two.

After surveying the group, Liu XiYang roughly understood the personalities of his five classmates: one idiot (Meng XiaoMan), one fool (the scholarly guy), one normal person (the silent teenager), and two ice cubes (Su CongShuang and the sword-wielding young man).

"Um, ladies! Since the teacher hasn't arrived yet, how about we introduce ourselves? I'll go first! Haha, I'm Gao De, and my superpower is 'calculation.' I can calculate anything related to math, like multiplication tables, with my eyes closed! I'm 21 years old, unmarried! My goal is to become the smartest person in the world and marry a beautiful... hehe." The scholarly guy introduced himself enthusiastically, and after finishing, he shyly looked at Meng XiaoMan by Liu XiYang's side, implying something.

However, after the scholarly guy finished his introduction, an awkward and chilly atmosphere engulfed the scene. It was partly due to the presence of the two ice cubes and partly because Meng XiaoMan seemed scared by the scholarly guy's gaze and remained silent, hiding behind Liu XiYang. As for the silent teenager, he had shown no intention of speaking from the beginning until now.

As for Liu XiYang, although he wanted to mock the scholarly guy for thinking he was a map and calling himself "Gao De," his creepy gaze and attitude made him very displeased. So, Liu XiYang deliberately didn't give him any face, letting this rude scholarly guy taste the bitterness of awkwardness. Hmph!

"Um... sorry, I was rude in my speech just now! Please forgive me for my lack of manners!!!" The embarrassed scholarly guy seemed to sense Liu XiYang's dissatisfaction with his gaze and immediately apologized, folding his hands and bowing deeply to the three "girls" present.

Oh, I didn't expect this scholarly guy to be quite clever. He knows when to advance and when to retreat! Liu XiYang was somewhat surprised by the quick response from the scholarly guy.

After seeing the scholarly guy's apology, Meng XiaoMan seemed to feel sorry for the awkward atmosphere and raised her hand, like a kind-hearted elementary school student, to request permission to speak.

"I'm Meng XiaoMan, you can call me Ah Man! My superpower is... is... 'super-speed growth'! I'm 18 years old, and my dream is to become a superhero and raise ten, no, maybe twenty fat pigs! Then I won't have to worry about going hungry or sleeping in the park anymore!" As expected by Liu XiYang, Meng XiaoMan voiced her pitiful little wish. Upon hearing this wish, even Su CongShuang, the ice-cold Su Fairy, couldn't help but look at her with a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Ah Man, what does super-speed growth look like? Could you demonstrate it?" Suddenly, the scholarly guy named Gao De asked curiously.

It wasn't just Gao De, even including Liu XiYang, everyone was quite curious. The name sounded like a power that allowed for rapid recovery, which could explain how Meng XiaoMan survived being hit by a car without a scratch.Translation:

Meng Xiaoman seemed a bit hesitant about this request, but when she saw Liu Xiyang beside her, she gathered her courage and opened her palm in front of everyone.

The next moment... an unexpected scene appeared!!! In the originally flat palm of Meng Xiaoman, a small bulge suddenly appeared, followed by something breaking through the skin from underneath, a thick and long object twisting and stretching out of her hand. Then, to the shock and astonishment of everyone, including Su Xianzi, this thick and long object swiftly retreated back into the palm of Meng Xiaoman, with her palm intact and not a trace of blood or injury.

"Tentacles!" Xiaosi exclaimed in shock, uttering the name of the thick and long object. He then looked at Meng Xiaoman with admiration on his face.

"Hehe... my special ability is controlling the growth speed of any tissue inside my body, and I can use the rapidly growing tissue as a part of my body in any area. I heard about this from a customer when I was working at a hair salon. They said it's something that girls like the most! Although I don't understand it either, but Xiaoxi, if you like it, I can... " Meng Xiaoman scratched her head with great shyness and hesitation, looking at Xiaosi who was filled with admiration.

However... Liu Xiyang swallowed his saliva and took several steps back in horror.

No wonder she was unharmed! It turns out this woman possesses one of the most terrifying powers in the world! Oh my god, have I been staying with such a dangerous woman all this time?! Liu Xiyang trembled as he looked at the puzzled Meng Xiaoman.

After this brief interlude, it was time for the next classmate to introduce themselves. Unexpectedly, it was the young man with the giant sword, one of the icy classmates, who spoke first.

"I am Zhan Longhuang, eighteen, the strongest!"

Hmm, Zhan Longhuang's self-introduction was simple.

Although it was unknown if others understood it, Liu Xiyang understood.

He said his name was Zhan Longhuang, eighteen years old, with the goal of becoming the strongest... look at that confidence, completely different from the foolish Meng Xiaoman in terms of their ambitions.

Speaking of Zhan Longhuang's magnificent name, combined with his appearance, Liu Xiyang felt that he was wasting his talent by not being in Class 1. After all, Zhan's classmates looked like the legendary powerful martial artists.

However, Zhan Longhuang did not reveal his superpower, but no one else intended to ask.

So, surprisingly, our second iceberg, Su Xianzi, spoke next.

"Su Congshuang, seventeen years old. I have only one goal - to find the 'Guang' who is known as the strongest hero, and... kill him with my own hands!" Su Xianzi slowly raised her head, her snow-white and extraordinary beauty exuding a coldness like ice.

And Liu Xiyang, who was standing by and listening to Su Xianzi's goal and boasting about finding "Guang," was filled with pride. But when he heard the second half of her statement...

???

Wait, kill... kill me???

Why?
