"Even being a top student is useless now; I need to work hard to improve my superpowers!"

Hongyu's cheeks flushed instantly, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

He carefully folded the densely written exam paper, put it in his pocket, and whispered,

"No matter what happens, you can't fall behind in your studies."

Hongyu gently closed the pen in her hand, a hint of determination in her shy eyes.

His family was not well-off. He was an orphan who was abandoned at birth. Fortunately, a garbage collector took him in and he barely survived.

From a young age, he knew that he was different from other children, and that only by studying hard could he and his grandfather live a good life.

However... his grandfather passed away from illness before he could take the college entrance exam. He was in junior high school.

He picked up trash while going to school.

Even in his first year of high school, studying was always his top priority.

Because this was his grandfather's wish, and also his own wish.

Even though school is not open now, he is not willing to fall behind in his studies. Even though he already knows his lessons by heart, he will still read and answer questions in his spare time.

"Sigh—given the current situation, I don't know when there will be a school. I should focus on improving my abilities and surviving first! Only by surviving can we think about what comes next."

The gatekeeper sighed slightly as he watched the boy diligently working on his problem.

He seemed to see his past in Hongyu. How youthful, innocent, and beautiful the word "student" was!

However, in less than a year, the whole world was devastated.

"Yes, I know! I can't neglect either improving my abilities or my studies. My grandfather said that there's a time and place for everything. Students have their tasks, and adults have theirs."

Hongyu nodded seriously.

He was very serious about improving his superpowers, just like doing homework, and never stopped.
