Xu Anran sensed that the leak of Fan Yunfei's group's whereabouts was not simple, and she thought it was better to be cautious.
The two chatted for a while longer, had lunch together, and then Xu Anran left.
"Amy, how are your preparations going?" Lista asked Xu Anran at the dormitory entrance.
Xu Anran closed the dormitory door, wearing the combat uniform provided by the school and carrying the spatial folding backpack that had been issued to her. Looking at Lista, who was dressed the same but looked slightly nervous, she replied, "It's alright. How about you? There's a meeting in the classroom later. Do you want to be the command captain?"
Lista shook her head: "I'm a little nervous. I had insomnia last night, and I only slept for two or three hours this morning. My mind is still foggy."
After having breakfast at the cafeteria, the two saw many freshmen wearing the same combat uniforms as them, all eating and preparing to go to their class for a combat meeting later.
When they arrived at the classroom, they saw that some people were already seated. Xu Anran pulled Lista to sit next to White.
After greeting White, Xu Anran asked, "White, what's the situation at the hospital?"
“My uncle said he’d keep an eye out, but if you can use your family’s connections, you should be able to find the special organ quickly. What’s the name of the person you need help with? I’ll tell my uncle and ask him to take care of them,” White said enthusiastically.
Xu Anran said, "Thank you, White. His name is Li Yugang."
Huai nodded and wrote it down, then sent a message to his uncle.
Once everyone in the class had arrived, their class of eighteen students was the only one among the entire freshman class without awakened abilities.
As everyone stared at each other in the classroom, footsteps approached. The person who entered was neither a beautiful teacher nor a handsome man, but a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, an average appearance, and a medium build who would be easily lost in a crowd.
He slowly walked to the center of the podium, his face kind and his voice gentle: "Hello everyone, I am your teacher this semester. My name is Shen Xiaodong, and you can call me Teacher Shen."
After introducing himself, he continued, "I think everyone already knows that the competition will begin this afternoon. Regarding the rules and precautions for the competition, please use your wristbands and the class channel I created on your screens; you'll find this information there."
Everyone raised their wristbands and joined the channel. Once everyone was present, Teacher Shen sent the message to the channel, and everyone began to check it.
It says that at 1 p.m. today, the school will take them to a random location in the mountains, and the competition will officially start at 2 p.m.
The mountains are outside the city, and the creatures inside have already been cleared out by the school; those that remain are ones that the school can handle.
Furthermore, during the competition, the school will arrange for people to guard various locations to prevent accidents from occurring.
The final task of the competition is to cross the mountains and forests to reach the top of the mountain, retrieve the flag, and bring it down the mountain to insert it into the designated location. The class that wins will receive 100 points for retrieving the flag and 200 points for inserting it into the designated location.
During the climb, you will encounter monsters. Killing a monster alone will earn you 5 points; if you work together to solve a monster, you will receive additional points based on your performance.
You can attack students from other classes as long as their lives are not endangered.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere on the mountain, and before the competition, students are fitted with cameras.
Based on the footage, the school will score the students, and the entire competition will be broadcast live so that everyone in the school can see it.
After reading the rules, Teacher Shen asked, "Now that everyone has read the rules, our class needs to elect a team leader for this competition. Who would like to be the class leader?"
Unlike other classes, where teachers appoint students based on their abilities, none of the students in this class have awakened their abilities, so they now have to hold a voluntary election.
As soon as Teacher Shen finished speaking, White raised his hand. Seeing that no one else raised their hand, Teacher Shen said, "Then our class monitor is White Wayne."
"Please come up here, White. The rest of the time is yours." Teacher Shen looked at White. "Class monitor, you will lead everyone to make a plan. I have posted the map, monsters, and other class information on the class channel."
After giving his instructions, he quickly left the classroom.
A silver, circular aircraft was parked on the school playground. Students followed their teachers out of their classrooms and into the aircraft.
As the last class to choose their seats, lacking any awakened abilities, they were the last to go up after the other classes had already selected their spots.
The school calls their class the Infinite Class, meaning that they have unlimited potential to awaken any abilities in the future. Among the students, they are called the Useless Class.
The other classes are divided according to ability, such as medical class, support class, and intensive class.
They entered the aircraft and silently followed the teacher to sit in the corner. The other students all looked at them after they came in, most of them with disdain, and some simply ignored them.
When Lucy saw Xu Anran, she made a gesture and looked at her with a cold smile, as if to tell her to wait.
Xu Anran ignored it, sat down with the class, and soon arrived at their destination.
The teacher distributed cameras to everyone and instructed them to use the buttons provided if they encountered danger or wanted to give up, so that someone would come to find them.
Then, those who had awakened their abilities were injured and given a black bracelet. This bracelet could monitor whether they were using their abilities.
Then, the classes were sent down to different locations. Finally, it was Xu Anran's class's turn. Everyone came to the cabin door and jumped down one by one. Fire shot out from the shoes on their feet. These were flight shoes that allowed people to land safely from high altitudes.
Everyone gathered together, observing their surroundings: a dense forest, devoid of any living creatures, only the high-hanging sun and the sound of the wind.
White led the way, guiding everyone towards the summit.
After walking for about half an hour, someone complained that he was tired. That person was a boy named Lesnar, who was spoiled by his family and had never experienced hardship.
When he heard him complaining of being tired, White initially didn't want to pay attention, but several other people followed suit and wanted to stop. Left with no other option, White had to let everyone rest on the spot for a while.
Xu Anran ignored her and looked at Lista, asking, "Are you still leaving?"
“Everyone is resting here, let’s join them,” Lista said.
Xu Anran shook her head: "No, I want to get going as soon as possible. You stay with the others, I'll go first."
Lista hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Then be careful."
Xu Anran nodded, turned and left, continuing to walk forward.
White saw this and tried to stop her: "Amy, it's dangerous for you to walk alone."
"It's alright, class monitor. There are teachers and surveillance cameras here. I'll press the button if there's any danger. You guys rest, I'm leaving now." Xu Anran said and turned to leave.
"Hmph, she thinks she's so great? She's just an illegitimate daughter who was recently brought back." Some people disliked her.
