“Everyone, welcome the new student.”
Xue Musheng stood at the front with a smile on his face as he looked toward the door.
The class immediately erupted in whispers.
Everyone wondered who could be arriving so late, long after the others had already awakened their magic.
“If you ask me, it must be a young master from a powerful family who does not need to awaken at school.”
“Could it be one of those geniuses who awakened on their own?”
“Impossible. Those kinds of geniuses should have already gone to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy.”
“Just like that young lady from the Mu Family.”
Footsteps sounded from the hallway.
Everyone craned their necks toward the doorway.
“Ah!” Qiu Yueying, who sat in the first row near the door, suddenly let out a loud shriek.
The rest of the class looked at her with confusion and reproach.
What kind of behavior was that during class?
Then they saw the new student, Liu Xijun.
The entire classroom fell silent at once.
They finally understood why Xue Musheng had not scolded Qiu Yueying.
A strikingly handsome and almost bewitching young man walked through the doorway.
His features were deep and well-defined, and his pupils were as dark and profound as the sea.
He wore a simple hoodie, yet it looked as elegant as luxury clothing on a top model and gave off an air of nobility.
“Hello everyone, my name is Liu Xijun.”
He spoke softly with an indifferent but not cold expression.
He gave the feeling of someone uninterested in everything yet not pushing others away.
“Welcome!”
“Welcome, new student!”
“Ahhh! Welcome, new student! I am practically dying!”
A group of girls shrieked and tried frantically to make an impression.
Qiu Yueying, the heroic-looking girl who had never been impressed by any boy before, covered her mouth in fear that she might shout uncontrollably.
The other girls in the class were equally excited.
They nodded at each other with wide grins.
The boys in the class were also stunned.
How could someone be this handsome?
Mu Bai widened his eyes and stared at Liu Xijun.
No matter how he looked, he could not find a single flaw.
He could not imagine what kind of national disaster such a face would cause if it belonged to a girl.
Mo Fan stared at Liu Xijun for a while and silently thought, He is even more handsome than me.
“Liu Xijun, that is your seat,” Xue Musheng said with a smile as he pointed to the empty desk by the window.
Xue Musheng was the happiest person in the room.
It was said that this new student had a transparent Star System.
A transparent Star System meant exactly what everyone thought.
He had lost a Lightning System student before, but now a Summoning System student had transferred in.
It felt like losing a stone axe and picking up a golden one.
Liu Xijun smiled and nodded before he walked to his seat.
He sat alone without a deskmate.
He wondered if Ye Chang had arranged it this way on purpose.
Xue Musheng’s next words confirmed his guess.
“Ahem. I want to say something to everyone. The new student Liu Xijun does not like socializing. As for the empty seat next to him, do not even think about sitting there.”
The girls all let out a long sigh of disappointment.
The boys breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If the girls had fought over that seat, it would have been too enviable.
At that moment, Xu Qingning and Xu Qinglin suddenly stood up.
Their faces filled with horror as they stared at Liu Xijun.
“You! Weren’t you dead?!”
“At that time, you were… Wang Xiong and the others were clearly bitten to death by the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat!”
Why are you still alive?
The question echoed in their hearts.
“What? He is the Walmart employee you said you bullied every day?” A girl suddenly stood up and looked fiercely at Xu Qingning and Xu Qinglin.
“That is not the point. The point is why he is still alive! What if he is possessed by something? What if he is not himself anymore? How could a defenseless guy survive a Giant-Eyed Blood Rat’s jaws!” Xu Qingning’s heart pounded.
He did not dare to imagine how miserable his life would become if Liu Xijun had truly survived.
“Right! Everyone else present died. Only he is still alive. Is he not suspicious?” Xu Qinglin added fuel to the fire.
Under their explanation, the whole class learned what had happened that day.
These two had constantly troubled Liu Xijun before, and they never expected him to awaken and join the same class.
Yet the biggest question remained: why was he still alive?
Liu Xijun looked at the two of them and chuckled softly.
“Abandoning your classmates, being extremely selfish, and pushing Wang Xiong and the others down to delay the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat. It can be said that your lives were exchanged for those three. You used to bully me, and now you want to incite the whole class to suspect me. Xu Qingning and Xu Qinglin, you truly make me look at you in a new light.”
“Slandering! We did not push Wang Xiong down!” Xu Qingning quickly shouted.
“You are the most suspicious one!”
“What? Do you want to know how I survived?” In Liu Xijun’s transparent Star System, the seven stardust points instantly connected into a star path.
[Master! I will take care of them!] Liu Xirao shouted excitedly.
Xue Musheng suddenly felt a wave of magic fluctuation and quickly interrupted.
“Alright, stop! Liu Xijun’s background is completely fine. Many people can vouch for him. As for Xu Qingning and Xu Qinglin, you two need to undergo further investigation and honestly state what happened yesterday.”
Xu Qingning and Xu Qinglin’s faces turned ashen.
They looked at Liu Xijun, who smiled at them, and felt a chill in their hearts.
They did not know that Xue Musheng’s interruption had just saved their lives.
[Master, these two guys are really hateful! When they bullied you before, I saw it all, but unfortunately I could not come out to help you. Later we will find a way to deal with them…] Liu Xirao said in his mind.
Liu Xijun replied, [Do not worry. I will naturally find a way to deal with them.]
[Okay! Right, Master, are there any girls in this class you have taken a liking to? I will have another locking emotion crystal ready soon!]
[Not yet. But there is one person we can try to get in touch with. She is not at this school.]
[Hmph. I thought Master would say you liked me the most…]
As soon as class ended, Liu Xijun was surrounded by girls.
Liu Xirao kept clamoring in his mind.
[Master! They are all so ugly. Let us ignore them! Let me out. I will turn into a big rat and scare them all away!]
Liu Xijun was not interested in these people, so he casually dealt with them.
Even the girls known as school beauties and class beauties frequently came to build relationships with him.
