Chapter 79: Kill Me (Part 1)
"Swish."
"Swish-swish—"
In the Transcendent district, within a small villa, bursts of rummaging could be heard.
Shortly after,
Chen Yu found a rather "huge" black hat in the basement's storeroom.
The brim was extremely long.
The crown was extremely tall.
It looked utterly ridiculous on his head.
But even such a "spacious" hat couldn't completely hide Chen Yu's new title.
On the left, the character "no" peeked out.
On the right, the character for "hands" peeked out.
It was like the character names in online games were "glitching" through...
"Hmm…"
Exiting the basement and standing in front of a mirror, Chen Yu inspected it carefully and even tried to pull the brim longer to cover up the characters "no" and "hands."
But naturally, it was futile.
"..."
"...Damn!"
Chen Yu, feeling wronged, couldn't help but curse.
"Fate,
"why do you treat me this way..."
Sitting wearily in front of the mirror, he took a long while to gather himself, then got up, washed up, dressed, and left the house.
He hailed a taxi by the roadside and headed for the Supernatural Alliance Academy.
The driver, upon hearing Chen Yu's destination and guessing he must be a Transcendent, immediately tensed up, not daring even to breathe heavily.
Yet he couldn't help stealing glances at Chen Yu's hat through the rearview mirror.
On the left side, a "no" showed...
On the right side, a "hands" showed...
'What the heck is that.'
The driver was deep in thought.
Chen Yu: "...Did you just run a red light?"
"Ah!" The driver immediately snapped back to reality, apologizing in fright, "Sorry! Sorry!"
While speaking, he accidentally ran another red light.
Twenty minutes later.
The taxi arrived at the entrance of Alliance Academy.
Chen Yu paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked into the academy.
Instantly attracting quite a few gazes.
Humans are peculiar in this way.
If it's completely exposed... they won't look twice.
If it's completely hidden... they won't bother looking.
But when it's "half-concealed, half-exposed"...
"Chen Yu, what's up with you?"
As Chen Yu entered Class B Group 2, his "massive" hat and the slightly revealed characters immediately caught all his classmates' attention, especially his chubby neighbor: "Did your title change?"
"…"
Chen Yu was silent.
He walked straight to the corner of the arena and stopped in front of a student, his voice hoarse, "You, come sit in my spot."
"Switch... switch seats?"
"Yeah."
"But..."
"…" Chen Yu's half-open eyes gleamed with a hint of the frosty light of Guan Yun Chang.
"Okay." The student quickly got up, grabbed his backpack, and ran off.
Continuing in silence, Chen Yu sat down, closed his eyes tightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Until the bell rang, the voluptuous female instructor walked into the arena with catlike strides, organizing the materials on the podium while saying, "Is everyone here?"
"Instructor, all present," the lanky class president raised her hand, "Class B Group 2, a total of 34, no one absent."
"Isn't our class supposed to have thirty-five... Oh right, one died."
Setting down her materials, the voluptuous female instructor stood up straight and announced loudly: "Today, to help Chen Yu catch up quickly, we will study magic conduction. Those who know it, consider it a review. So, Chen Yu, step forward."
Chen Yu: "…"
"Chen Yu?" The female instructor looked around and spotted Chen Yu "hidden" in the corner, surprised, "Step forward."
Chen Yu: "Why me."
"Because you're the freshman."
"...Then, Instructor, can I temporarily apply for a month of leave for some personal matters?"
"What's the matter?" The voluptuous instructor approached Chen Yu, "You step forward first."
Chen Yu: "I need to attend a funeral."
"Ah... such a big matter," the instructor looked him up and down, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Urgent."
"Then you won't miss much by doing this first. Learn the 'Magic Conduction' first. Otherwise, missing a month will put you too far behind."
With that, the voluptuous instructor forcefully pulled Chen Yu up, handing him a metal rod: "Here, take this."
Chen Yu: "…"
"Superpower Transmission is a secret technique that transfers the 'superpower' energy from oneself to an external object. It's commonly used with weapons to unleash a force equivalent to one's own strength... Chen Yu, that hat of yours is quite odd, why not take it off?"
Hearing this, Chen Yu's face suddenly changed: "No way!"
"Why the sudden outburst?" The female instructor was startled and at a loss.
"... I just caught a cold yesterday. The hat is big and warm," Chen Yu casually brushed it off while cursing internally.
He increasingly felt that some invisible "force" was targeting him...
"He let slip a bit of his title." In the training field, the long-ponytailed squad leader leaned towards their plump neighbor and whispered, "What is it?"
"I have no idea." The plump neighbor was clueless: "We were together at a gathering last night and it wasn't like this."
Around them, other Transcendents were also whispering softly.
All eyes were "swish swish swish" focused on Chen Yu's hat.
Chen Yu gritted his teeth.
A wave of "ferocity" uncontrollably spread and boiled within him...
"Chen Yu, calm down, don't be nervous," the voluptuous female teacher said, patting Chen Yu's head as if comforting a dog.
"Superpower Transmission isn't too difficult to learn. Now, follow me, close your eyes, maintain a clear mind, and then try to mobilize your superpower... Everyone else stay quiet, don't disrupt Chen Yu..."
He sighed deeply.
Chen Yu, carrying emotions of "nervousness", "anxiety", "irritation", and "desolation", closed his eyes.
He tried to follow the instructor's guidance to activate his superpower.
'Damn it.'
'Hurry up and master it...'
'And leave Earth soon...'
Lost in thoughts, Chen Yu entered a deep meditation and gradually calmed down.
Slowly, he felt a kind of suction from the "iron rod" in his hands.
"Relax..."
"That's right..."
"Do you feel the stick drawing you in?"
"Don't resist..."
The female instructor held her breath and gazed intensely with a gentle voice at the iron rod in Chen Yu's hands.
She could clearly see the iron rod was faintly glowing.
And Chen Yu had completely entered a state of transcendence.
No sorrow.
No joy.
No emotions.
No righteousness. (Not really)
Mountain is not mountain.
Water is not water.
In a transcendent state beyond the earthly...
"Beautiful."
The voluptuous instructor smiled, nodding in satisfaction: "The superpower level is rather poor, but his perception is quite impressive."
But once she was idle, she noticed Chen Yu's strange hat again.
And his peculiar title.
On the left, a "No".
On the right, a "Hand".
"..."
'A lawless murderer?'
Hesitating, the instructor instinctively reached to take off Chen Yu's hat.
But she only reached halfway before retracting her hand.
Then reached out again.
And retracted again...
In the training field, all the Transcendent students were also unblinkingly sticking their necks out and then pulling them back.
Teacher reached.
Students stretched their necks.
Teacher retracted.
Students retracted their necks...
The hat on Chen Yu's head seemed imbued with a magical charm, a seductive abyss... drawing in all human desires.
"..."
"..."
In the silent training field.
The voluptuous instructor finally could not hold back.
After giving "transcended" Chen Yu a cautious glance, she carefully lifted his oversized hat.
Revealing a brand-new title.
