After the girl left, Xu Anran asked Lista, "Who was she?"

“My half-sister,” Lista replied, looking displeased.

"Sister? You two look about the same age." Xu Anran asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lista glanced at Xu Anran and asked with a displeased look, "You don't know about the Eckerley family, do you?"

Xu Anran shook her head: "I don't know. I was just brought back to the Upper City area and I don't know anything."

Lista seemed to realize something and said, "Just brought back to the Upper City? You wouldn't happen to be the illegitimate daughter the Kex family just brought back from the slums, would you?"

Xu Anran nodded: "Yes, how did you know?"

"Sigh, your story has spread all over the Upper City, after all, the Kex family has a genius girl named Ollie!"

"But we're really in the same boat, it's not easy for either of us!" Lista exclaimed.

Lista then told Xu Anran about her family. Her parents' marriage was originally an alliance between the Ike family and the Wayne family, but her father had an affair while her mother was pregnant, which was all that mattered.

Later, when she was ten years old, her sister Lucy, the child of the other woman, awakened her powers, which were extremely rare. In contrast, she never awakened her powers. So her father wanted to bring Lucy home, but her mother firmly disagreed.

The two parted on bad terms. Lista was her only child, and after the divorce, her mother took Lista with her and returned to the Wayne family. Meanwhile, her father brought home his mistress and her two children, Lucy and Cassie.

Lucy and Lista are about the same age, and her father always compares the two of them. Because of Lucy's excellence, Lista, who is incompetent, is always called a good-for-nothing.

After training, Xu Anran and Lista returned to their dormitory together. On the way, Xu Anran asked, "By the way, I heard from you that Ollie is quite famous. Is she very good?"

"Yes, she's quite famous in our Upper District. She awakened her power—the power of elemental water—when she was ten years old. It's said that this power is extremely strong. She's always been the top student in school, excelling at everything she does."

Everyone admires her greatly. She was sent on a mission by the school a while ago, and we don't know when she'll be back," Lista told Xu Anran.

Xu Anran thought to herself that it seemed the Ike family hadn't told anyone about Oli's injury, and then asked, "Then why did you say we're in the same boat?"

"Hey, we're in the same class. Everyone in our class is someone who doesn't have the ability to awaken. People who don't have the ability to awaken at ten years old usually have another chance to awaken around twenty years old."

Our class is determined to seize this opportunity and, with the help of our teachers, awaken our abilities.

Lista patted Xu Anran on the shoulder, "Generally, there is a 50% chance of success for the second awakening, but the awakened ability is usually weaker than the first awakening."

The two returned to their dormitory, intending to wash up before going to the cafeteria for dinner together.

Because the school was the best in the upper district, they all lived in single dorm rooms. Upon entering her room, Xu Anran received a message from Qi Ziqi.

Early in the morning, Qi Ziqi took Yang Ru to the church and placed listening devices on them.

After the morning prayers ended, everyone left one by one. This time, Qi Ziqi overheard the conversation between the group and the priest.

"Father, when is the ceremony approximately?"

"I've already asked the bishop about what you asked before, and he replied that you can attend the ceremony next Friday."

"That's wonderful, thank you so much. Is there anything I need to prepare for the ceremony?"

"No need, the church will prepare everything. You just need to dedicate yourselves to God."

“We will have wholehearted faith in the sun god, and we yearn for His light and grace.”

"Yes, only the loyal can receive His grace."

"Father, will we be holding the ceremony here?"

"I will take you to the place where the ceremony will be held then."

After the group finished talking with the priest, they left the church. Qi Ziqi and Yang Ru secretly followed behind, continuing to listen to their conversation.

"Boss, why do we have to participate in the ceremony? It doesn't sound like a good thing."

"What do you know? Do you know why I was so eager to participate in this mission?"

"Why?"

"Naturally, it's because of this world. Everyone only knows that this is a mature disaster event, and there is even a relatively stable life here."

"But what they don't know is that not only is there a great crisis here, but more importantly, there are also great opportunities."

"opportunity?"

"That's right. Regardless of whether you had superpowers before, coming here gives you a chance to unlock your gene chain and awaken a second ability."

Can it still awaken?

"Not only can they awaken, but the abilities awakened here are mostly stronger than those awakened in other worlds."

"That's great, why haven't we heard a whisper of it?"

"Rumors? If this gets out, we might not get the benefits here. Very few people know about this."

"Boss, how did you know?"

"Oh"

"The boss has his own channels. Just listen to him, right, boss?"

"Keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone. If the vice president finds out, none of us will be happy."

"Don't worry, boss, we understand. But boss, what about Monkey's group?"

"Once we've awakened, we can have them participate in the next ceremony."

As the group approached the building, Qi Ziqi and Yang Ru walked over, pretending to pass by, and secretly retrieved the bugging device.

After returning, they told everyone what they had learned from those people, and sent the information to Xu Anran, Luo Xi, and Fan Yunfei.

After reading the message, Xu Anran warned everyone to be careful and to wait for the right opportunity to try awakening their abilities in this world.

After tidying up, she went out to eat at the cafeteria with Lista.

They arrived at the cafeteria and saw many people using wristbands to swipe and buy various foods.

Xu Anran also had the same white bracelet as them, which the housekeeper had given her that morning.

She previously claimed that she lived in a slum and had no identification information or bracelet.

Without suspicion, they had the housekeeper take her medical report and the family badge to the federal government to arrange her identity information, complete the school enrollment procedures, and collect the bracelet to give to Xu Anran.

In the school cafeteria, Lista pulled Xu Anran aside and asked, "Amy, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Anran said, "Either is fine."

Lista thought for a moment, then pulled Xu Anran upstairs and said, "Let's have some grilled meat bibimbap, it's pretty good."

Xu Anran smiled and agreed, but unexpectedly, she ran into Lista's annoying younger sister, Lucy, again while getting food.
