Spare Me, Great Lord!

Once school ended, Lu Shu walked by class 7 casually as if he didn’t know anything. He wanted to check out Li Qi and see if he was hurt in any way.

He was, at first, afraid that others might find out he went to observe Li Qi. But before he reached class 7, he realized what a stupid worry that was.

Waves of people were crowded outside class 7, there was no need to act unsuspicious whatsoever. Everyone surrounded Li Qi, asking tons of questions. Some asked how he awakened, then others asked how he felt, and some even asked what he planned to do after this. Some were also curious about whether his skills could improve further.

It seemed like everyone wanted to be a metahuman.

Lu Shu looked from afar. Li Qi, looking formidable and manly, said, “I was agitated that day, and went to the park to drink alone. On the way home, I realized I awakened. Fret not, there must be a chance for you guys too. In future, whenever anyone needs help with anything, feel free to approach me. I’ll tell you guys whatever I know. If anyone from another school bullies you guys, come to me. I’ll make sure they won’t be let off.”

Li Qi had always enjoyed the attention as a notorious adolescent of the school, arrogant as ever now.

Teenagers at this age were easily influenced into taking the wrong path due to the attention placed on themselves. However, Lu Shu thought that Li Qi was not a bad person. He overheard in the canteen during lunch that Li Qi was never mean towards his schoolmates and his brawls only happened with students of other schools.

Someone asked Li Qi, “Nothing happened to you yesterday after the police brought you away right?”

Li Qi replied like it didn’t matter, “Nope, they took me in for just one night and after that, I left.”

Lu Shu nodded his head in thought, Li Qi didn’t even encounter the black coats.

No, it shouldn’t be put as such. It was probably because the other party didn’t clarify their identity. After all, he was taken away by the black coats.

This was completely different from the treatment to Liang Che. Was there a change in policy and attitude by the government? It seemed like it.

This way, Lu Shu could feel much more at ease. At least the government didn’t have such an extremist stance on the matter.

However, the change should have been quite recent.

If the government really conceded to the fact that metahumans existed, what would change in this world?

It seemed like previous revolutions and strikes seemed incomparable to what was occurring now. After all, this was really something new to the entire planet of humans.

Life just turned upside down so unknowingly and at such a short span of time. Math, languages, geography, history, et cetera used to be the focus of every student, the most important thing in their lives. Now, it didn’t seem to matter anymore.

It was different now, it seemed like being a metahuman was another way out.

Academically poor students now had hope. If they could somehow awaken, that could save their life from another point of view.

While the better-performing students would worry if their good performance still mattered. However, while they worried, they were also hoping that they might become metahumans.

No one could predict what the world would be like. After all, no one ever experienced such a world.

The term metahuman was now the most popular slang. It was really used thoroughly everywhere.

At this point in time, a student suddenly exclaimed, ” The city has announced it wants to form a Daoyuan class. It will gather all special students to learn together. The designated venue will be our school!”

Someone asked, “Where did you hear this from?”

“My sister is a teacher in a secondary school and she just sent me a message,” the male student replied.

Daoyuan class, these words were interesting.

Fire arrow class, red flag class. This stuff could be understandable to everyone, and it was just for learning, but Daoyuan class?

The meaning behind this name was too obvious!

But everyone was still rather unsure. As the change happened so quickly, sometimes when you know you have an answer, you might still not be too sure.

“F***!” Someone suddenly shouted, “My science classmate from higher grade 1 told me that form teachers from our school had already begun telling their respective classes the names of those students who are admitted to Daoyuan class. In this case, Rock Qing Yan should be here anytime soon.”

Everyone was stunned, why did this happen so quickly? Someone had just gotten the news, and in an instant, classes were already announcing names.

Lu Shu was thinking. Why was the entire city’s Daoyuan class situated in his school? Although this school was good, it wasn’t the best. The school with the best resources should be Luo First Higher School, which was the number one high school in Luo Cheng.

“Class seven has announced the name list. On the name list… Li Qi! It was announced that usual cultural classes will still be in the current class, but other classes will be held in the Daoyuan class. Daoyuan class starts at 7 pm in the evening. Our school will cancel the night study sessions.”

Everyone was abuzz. Previously, that student mentioned that this Daoyuan class wanted to consolidate all the special students in the city. Everyone wasn’t sure what the definition of special meant.

Now they understood. Why was Li Qi special? He’s a metahuman!

Li Qi’s grades were not good and were known as a bad boy in school. Why else would they stream him into the Daoyuan class?

And excluding cultural classes, Daoyuan class only starts lessons once everyone else has been dismissed in the evening.

What was going to be taught in Daoyuan classes seemed obvious.

But there was another problem. Everyone knew that Li Qi was a metahuman, and it’s no wonder that he was admitted into Daoyuan class. But what about the other people on the name list?

Everyone was confused at this time, and they thought it could only be… the blood test!

There must be some method to sieve out if a student could awaken?! Else why would everything seem as if it was planned from quite long ago?

Then, a student said, “My cousin from primary school said one of his classmates received a notice to change schools and to admit into Daoyuan class next week.”

Lu Shu was suddenly shocked. He knew why the government wanted the Daoyuan class to be in his school.

Currently, the age band for Daoyuan class was from primary school to sophomore 3. And his school, although not as good as other schools, was the only school which comprised primary, secondary and higher levels of students and classes.

This issue… would probably affect the entire country.
