White returned to his dorm in a daze, not even hearing people greet him on the way.

Sitting on the sofa in the dormitory, I recalled what Xu Anran had said.

"Don't you want to give it a try? Design and build different machines, not only for medical and combat use, but also to integrate into all aspects of life?"

"Why don't you leave here, go to the outside world, and use your superpowers to create a different place?"

"Leave with me to fight and create!"

These words lingered in his mind, "Creation...?" He didn't know how to react for a moment. He wanted to leave and go see.

But the thought that he would never be able to come back after leaving, and that he would never see his parents, relatives, and friends again, made him very conflicted.

Recalling what Amy (Xu Anran) said, and how she told him to think it over and then leave with his ticket to meet her in the waiting hall.

Looking at the train ticket in his hand, White didn't sleep all night.

Xu Anran found and kept this train ticket on the mountain some time ago.

The reason for entrusting White with the task was that Xu Anran felt White's awakened superpower was very useful and hoped that he could join her team.

Xu Anran wondered if he would agree while training.

A few days later, it was another weekend, and White came home from school to find his family busy with their own things.

Both his parents have their own careers. Compared to him, his father values ​​his eldest brother more. As the eldest son, his brother has powerful supernatural abilities and is destined to inherit the family business.

Mom preferred her second brother; he had a sweet tongue and always made her happy.

As the youngest son in the family, he has only average superpowers and is not good at winning people's favor, so his presence is not very noticeable.

During dinner, White asked his family if they would miss him if he went on a long trip and never came back, and settled down somewhere else.

His family looked at him, saying they would miss him and trying to comfort him. But White only saw indifference in their eyes.

It wasn't that they didn't care about his life or death, but rather that they felt certain he wouldn't leave them. They didn't care what he said; it was just a child's whim.

White said very seriously, "I'm serious, if I leave, if I leave you, is that okay?"

Everyone looked at White with bewilderment, wondering what had gotten into him this time.

But this time, her mother's expression turned serious: "Why not? The fact that you asked this question means you want to go, doesn't it? Son, if you want to, then do it."

The father looked at him seriously and said, "If you leave, will you no longer be our son? Will you no longer be a member of the Aisie family?"

He patted White on the shoulder and continued, "Go if you want to. Don't hesitate or overthink it. Wherever you go, your parents will always be with you."

The two older brothers looked at their parents, who were suddenly so serious, and at White, whose eyes were full of tears. They exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding what was going on all of a sudden.

The day before White was to return to school, his father called him into his study, handed him a spatial bag, and said, "Here, take this. When do you plan to leave?"

Looking at the spatial pouch in his hand, White shook his head: "I haven't decided yet."

"Do you have a train ticket?" Dad asked again.

White looked up at his father in disbelief: "How did you know?"

“Our family has always known about the tickets, but we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. If someone gets a ticket and decides to leave, they’re allowed to leave,” White’s father explained.

White asked, puzzled, "Then why don't we leave?"

"Tickets were already scarce, and how many people could actually get them? This is our world, and of course we must stay and protect our home."

"Then I..."

“You’re different. There might be different opportunities for you outside, right? The fact that this ticket ended up in your hands says it all. It’s all fate’s arrangement.”

…………

While White had a long talk with his father, Xu Anran went to bed early to prepare for the competition for playing time within the school team the next day.

"Line up!" Teacher Shen called everyone who was training together and made them line up.

As everyone knows, today we will first select the teams that will officially play on the field, while those who are not selected will remain as reserve players on the sidelines for substitution.

Teacher Shen put his hands behind his back and paced around, saying, "I think everyone knows what day it is today. So without further ado, we'll have a series of two-on-one matches. The team with the most wins will become official members and will play in next week's competition."

"Chu Xingchen, Ke Xi, the first match," Teacher Shen said, pointing to the two.

...

This continued from morning until afternoon, with the ten people in the team battling in pairs.

During the final match, someone walked in, and the veteran members of the school team excitedly exclaimed, "Captain! You're back!"

The person who arrived was none other than Ondo Timota, the captain of the school team, who had just returned from an off-campus mission.

He was 1.9 meters tall, with blond hair and a chiseled face, and was very handsome. He was the dream lover of all the girls in school.

He slowly walked into the training room, greeted the team members, and then looked at Coach Shen and said, "Hello Coach, I hope I didn't miss this selection."

Teacher Shen said, "Of course not. Now that you're back, you don't need to participate in the selection process. You can directly join the team and participate in the league."

Angdo smiled and said, "That's not good. How about I have a match with the new team member?"

"Oh? Okay, it would be good for you two to have a friendly match." Teacher Shen raised an eyebrow in agreement.

Angduo turned his gaze to Xu Anran and said with amusement, "Then let's talk to the junior first! I just got back and heard a lot about her."

Xu Anran nodded in agreement.

Before going on stage, Chu Xingchen walked to Xu Anran's side and whispered to her, "Be careful, Angduo is the fiancé of your genius sister, Aoli. I'm afraid he's not here with good intentions."

"Understood, thank you." Xu Anran thanked him, then walked onto the stage and met Angduo's gaze; the air was thick with tension.

Angduo approached her to shake her hand. As they drew near, Xu Anran heard him say coldly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You've been quite arrogant lately! As an illegitimate child, you should recognize your place."

After shaking hands, Ondo smiled and said, "Junior, please guide me."

Xu Anran had no interest in playing along with his act, so she remained silent and prepared for battle.

When Teacher Shen shouted "Start!" from below, Xu Anran attacked first. She transformed the knife in her hand into the shape of Coril and pounced on Ondo.

With a swift movement, Ondo dodged, then kicked Kolilu with one of his legs, which transformed into flames. The kick then burst into flames and reverted to its original sword form.

Xu Anran then took out two more knives from her waist, transforming them into a Glacier Wolf and a Snake Monster, two monsters that could counter fire-attribute abilities, and attacked.

Angdo gave a cold laugh, his whole body bursting into flames, and he fought them like a man of fire.
