Chapter 8 (Two in One)

"I want to run slower first to save my energy. You know, this is only the first lap." Su Bei said in a dignified manner, as if his real purpose was not to slack off.

This explanation does make sense, but Feng Lan is still a little confused: "But even if you want to conserve your energy, you don't have to run so slowly."

In fact, the students in the first echelon did not try their best. This is the normal speed for the first ten laps.

At this point, he slowed down on his own initiative, and only after he stood side by side with Su Bei did he carefully observe his strong and powerful forearms exposed. After a moment, he asked uncertainly: "Could it be that you built up all these muscles by eating protein powder?"

With his keen eyesight, he could tell that Su Bei had the strongest muscles in the class. If it wasn't for protein powder, how could he be so slow?

Su Bei was furious: "You can insult me, but you can't insult the muscles I have worked so hard to build!"

Realizing that his image seemed to have failed, he coughed again and said, "You run ahead, don't worry about me, I can finish the race anyway."

Hearing this, Feng Lan hesitated for a moment and did not speed up to catch up with the first echelon, but continued to run side by side with Su Bei.

This action surprised Su Bei a little, but he didn't say much. Ten laps was a bit difficult even for him, so it was better to say less.

When we were halfway through the first lap, our homeroom teacher Meng Huai came down. Seeing the big guy standing there, several students who were still hesitating immediately ran onto the track.

However, after they finished one lap, the head teacher left and the running team immediately returned to its previous loose state.

Several students changed from running to walking, and the fifty-four students from Class F on the entire playground naturally divided into five echelons, sparsely occupying the track.

When Su Bei ran the ninth lap, he was divided into three groups. The first group had four people, including the protagonists, and they were half a lap ahead of the students behind them. The second group had eleven people, and Su Bei and Feng Lan were not very noticeable. The third group had twenty-one people, and they no longer had the strength to run, but they were still walking.

As for the remaining 18 people, they had already left the track. Some did not plan to continue their mission and went straight to eat. Some stood on the sidelines, planning to join in the final lap and fish in the water.

Su Bei was panting heavily, and sweat dripped from his cheeks to the ground as he moved. The weather was not hot, but the amount of exercise was really intense.

However, if someone familiar with running has been observing him, they will find that, up to this point, his breathing has been heavy but even, and his running speed has remained uniform from beginning to end, which clearly shows that he still has some energy left.

Feng Lan beside him also looked relaxed, even more relaxed than him, not even breathing hard. This made Su Bei unable to help but glance to the side, thinking that this pretty boy was indeed not to be judged by appearance.

He looked up at the first group of people running in a vertical line in front. The worst off among the four was Jiang Tianming, who was at the end.

Seriously, he could hear the other person's breathing even from such a distance. He was sweating profusely, staggering, and looked weak and ready to collapse at any moment.

But miraculously, it can still maintain its position at the end of the first tier.

Is it the effect of supernatural powers? Su Bei wondered uncertainly. Otherwise, willpower alone would not be able to support him to run like this.

But judging from the first comic, the opponent is clearly a summoning type.

But that's not necessarily the case. It's clear that the comic has foreshadowed the protagonist's superpowers, and perhaps he really has the ability to strengthen his body.

In the corridor, the head teacher of Class A, who had just arranged the students, walked out leisurely. When passing by Class F, he suddenly saw Meng Huai standing in front of the window. So he turned around and went in: "What are you looking at?"

As he spoke, he put his arm around the other person's shoulder with a gloating look on his face: "You were lazy this year and came to teach Class F. The principal is very resentful of you."

Hearing this, Meng Huai said nonchalantly: "I have taught Class S for several years and I am not allowed to take a break. But it seems that there are many interesting people in Class F this year."

"Oh." After saying this, the head teacher of Class A raised his eyebrows, stood side by side with him in front of the window and observed for a few seconds before finally seeing the clue, "You mean the Feng family kid is so far behind?"

"More than that." Meng Huai shook his head. "The blue-haired girl in front has the ability of [Word Spirit] that is enough to go to Class A. If she hadn't been so socially anxious that she couldn't speak, she wouldn't have been assigned to Class F."

The head teacher of Class A also knew this girl and said with a smile: "You really got a bargain. Who else can do that?"

Meng Huai pointed backwards and said, "The black-haired guy behind her, don't look at him as if he will fall down at any moment. He has been in this state for four laps and is still in the first tier. Isn't that interesting?"

This is quite interesting. If it wasn't for Meng Huai's words, from the perspective of the head teacher of Class A, I would have thought that Jiang Tianming had just lost his strength and would soon fall behind.

But he has already done this for four laps, so it is obviously unlikely that he will fall behind.

If he had been at the back of the team in this state, it could be said that he was relying on his strong willpower to hold on. But if he had been at the front of the team in this state, it would be hard not to associate him with his supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, the head teacher of Class A couldn't help but ask, "What is his ability?"

If it was a body enhancement ability, there was no way she would be assigned to Class F.

Meng Huai was not surprised that he would ask this question, and answered meaningfully: "I don't know."

"have no idea"

"When the academy tested him, he didn't have any special abilities activated. But the detector detected that he did have special abilities." Meng Huai had obviously paid special attention to this special situation.

This answer made the teacher of Class A twitch his lips: "This child is a bit unlucky, have you found out the reason?"

"I haven't asked yet. I'll tell you tomorrow. He can't hide it anyway."

After saying this, Meng Huai continued: "I don't know what got into the Feng family kid to come to Class F. You know the situation of their family. It's hard not to associate it with..."

"The ability to predict." The head teacher of Class A obviously knew the Feng family very well, or rather, all the teachers in the entire supernatural academy knew something about this supernatural family with special talents.

He scanned every student and muttered to himself, "Sending the next head of the family here, I don't know for whom."

"I kind of suspect it's the one next to him." Meng Huai also looked at the students on the track and said lightly.

Hearing this, the head teacher of Class A immediately looked at Su Bei: "That blond boy..."

As the head teacher of Class A, he had very good eyesight. He didn't notice it just now, but now he took a closer look and immediately found something wrong: "This kid didn't use his full strength. He was slacking off right under your nose."

Hearing his mockery, Meng Huai sneered unhappily: "Not only that, he also brought the Feng family kid along to slack off."

Without waiting for the man next to him to burst out laughing, he continued, "Su Bei, whose parents are both dead, has no close relatives and no close friends, yet he was able to become friends with the young master of the Feng family on the first day of school."

The Feng family is famous for being aloof, probably because of their superpowers. Even the newly awakened superpowers have a strong aura and ordinary people dare not approach them.

To be able to become friends with Feng Lan at the first sight, either Su Bei really has some ability, or Feng Lan did it on purpose.

"But this should not be enough to support your previous inference that maybe they just like each other." The head teacher of Class A knew Meng Huai well enough and knew that although he looked big and strong, he was actually a very careful and serious person.

Indeed, Meng Huai took out his phone and played a surveillance video for him. While debugging, he said, "When they were running, I just took a look at the surveillance footage when I was not there. Look what I found."

The content on the surveillance screen is exactly what Su Bei said to Jiang Tianming when he first entered the class.

"…The most unlucky person of this class. Is this a prophecy? Is his ability also related to the prophecy?" After watching the video, the head teacher of Class A asked several questions in a row, and said thoughtfully, "No wonder the Feng family came."

After all, the Feng family is rich in prophetic abilities, and many people who have awakened the gift of prophecy will choose to join the Feng family in order to gain more room for development.

But in fact, because the prophetic power is extremely rare, even in the Feng family, which is a big prophetic family, there are only no more than twenty people with the power who come to rely on them.

If they predicted the emergence of a new prophet, it would be normal for them to send someone to contact him.

"No, his special ability is [Gear], and its only function is to create gears." After saying this, Meng Huai calmly prepared to appreciate the reaction of the man next to him.

As expected, he was not disappointed. The head teacher of Class A opened his eyes wide and asked in astonishment: "How is this possible? How can he say such a thing?"

Meng Huai's eyes sparkled: "So I said it's very interesting, right?"

Knowing that Meng Huai would never lie to him about this, the head teacher of Class A pushed his glasses and said, "Is he just making it up? There is no point in doing this. You mean... the supernatural power he registered is fake?"

This coincided with Meng Huai's guess: "It's very likely."

"But if that's the case, then he was too careless in making up this supernatural power." Just thinking of this possibility, the head teacher of Class A couldn't help but complain.

[Gear] This ability is too sloppy. I'm afraid only the first cannon fodder who died in the comics could have such a bad ability.

"He doesn't really act with all his heart." Meng Huai pointed at the guy slacking off on the playground, "Besides, he said something like that at the beginning of the school year, and he clearly has no intention of hiding it."

"You're right." The head teacher of Class A nodded in approval, "So how do you plan to deal with this?"

Meng Huai folded his arms, his posture uninhibited: "Let it be."

After the long ten laps, Jiang Tianming fainted when he passed the finish line. Lan Subing wanted to help him, but she had no strength. Although she had a powerful supernatural power, she had not trained much before, and running ten laps at high speed was already her limit.

Fortunately, a boy with orange hair came over after a while, full of energy. After asking about the situation, he carried Jiang Tianming on his shoulders and walked away like a sack.

Su Bei looked at this scene with some amusement, knowing that the other party should be the last person in the protagonist group - Wu Mingbai.

You should know that although this guy looks like a little sun, he is actually not an easy person to deal with. He was the one who introduced the main plot of the first part.

However, after truly recognizing Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing, he became very loyal, otherwise he would not have become one of the protagonists.

This character is also very interesting. Although he has a life-and-death friendship with the other two members of the protagonist group, he often uses his sunny and cheerful appearance to deceive others in his daily life.

It's a sesame-filled glutinous rice ball.

But speaking of which, when I was looking at the promotional picture, there was a red-haired boy who looked quite enthusiastic and cheerful. The people who can appear in the picture are all important characters, and I don’t know what the specific situation of that person is.

Walking slowly around once should have been enough, but no one spoke. Su Bei looked at Feng Lan thoughtfully, then raised his legs to walk the second round.

As he expected, Feng Lan stopped him and said, "...Let's go eat."

Su Bei nodded obediently, stood still and waited for the other party to go first.

However, the handsome white-haired boy also stood there stupidly like him. After a moment, he seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "Can you please go first? I don't know where the cafeteria is."

This "I don't know" means that I didn't look at the school floor plan at the entrance of the teaching building, so I don't know where the cafeteria is, or even though I know where the cafeteria is, I don't know how to get there. In short, I am directionally illiterate.

Su Bei already had the answer in his heart, so he didn't ask any further questions and took the initiative to lead the way.

Although it was their first day of school, the school had already sent out the "Superpower Academy" student rules a week before the start of the semester.

One of the things that was highlighted was the college's point system. In addition to automatically getting 1 point for completing all classes every day, you can also earn extra points by getting good grades or completing college tasks.

Points can be used for many purposes, such as finding a special teacher to teach you, getting a good seat in the library or in an open class, exchanging for some supernatural props, having a good meal in the school...

There are two types of cafeterias in the college. One is free for everyone, but the taste is very ordinary and all meals are set meals. The other is available for points, and there are many delicacies from land and sea.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Su Bei was preparing to take Feng Lan to the free cafeteria to eat. After all, it was the first day of school and there were basically no points.

Who knew that at the intersection of the two canteens, Feng Lan suddenly called him and said, "Let's go to the Points Canteen to eat."

As soon as these words came out, Su Bei's eyebrows immediately raised. He was not stupid enough to ask the other party if he had points, but asked without any pretense: "You treat me"

It was a good thing to be treated to a meal. He could afford these points, so he would accept them. Su Bei was very happy and said flatteringly, "Young Master, please treat me!"

Feng Lan: “…”

Feng Lan nodded, and when he saw that Su Bei agreed, his expression eased. He was really a little worried that Su Bei would think that he was looking down on him, which would be troublesome.

The points canteen is paved with white tiles and looks neat and beautiful. There are many windows inside, and different dishes require different points to obtain.

There are no other students eating in the cafeteria at the moment. It is easy to imagine that since there are no points today, most students have not even considered coming here to eat.

The two discussed it and unanimously decided to order the entry-level supernatural power enhancement set meal worth 5 points.

This is a set meal consisting of exotic rice, pheasant and chicken stewed with mushrooms, and specially cultivated vegetables. Each of them can slightly improve the physical fitness and abilities of the superpower user, and the effect is better when the nutrition is matched.

Both the exotic rice and special vegetables are cultivated by plant-based mutants, while the nightmare pheasant is a relatively mild and harmless nightmare beast that is often raised by humans.

Nightmare beasts are a special product of this world and the mutants. In addition to the nightmare beasts that come with this world, there are also some stronger ones that will appear from the wormholes in the alien space.

They have superpowers like the psychics, and most of them have natural malice towards the psychics, and they will not show mercy to ordinary humans. The difference between psychics and ordinary humans in their attitude towards them is like the difference between gourmet food and ordinary food.

Ordinary weapons are difficult to harm nightmare beasts, especially those stronger nightmare beasts that come out of wormholes. Only superpowers can cause significant damage. Therefore, entering wormholes to destroy nightmare beasts is the main job of most superpower users.

However, the few superpowers that can be cultivated are obviously not good enough compared to the large number of nightmare beasts. The current balance can only be maintained because there are a few top bosses supporting them. But if something happens to the boss, it will cause unpredictable losses to the world. This is probably the main reason why the "comic consciousness" says that the combat power of the good and the bad is unbalanced.

Shaking his head, Su Bei put away his chaotic thoughts and concentrated on watching Feng Lan order food.

5 points can be collected in 5 days. When Feng Lan treats him, he doesn't mind being a little greedy, but of course he must be able to pay it back. 5 points is just right. And looking at Feng Lan's relaxed look, it is obvious that 10 points is just a drizzle for him.

Sure enough, when he swiped his student card on the card machine, it showed that there were exactly 1,000 points on the card.

Su Bei was amazed. Is this the big guy who can sit in the back row? His status is indeed extraordinary.

After deducting 10 points, Feng Lan turned to look at him, seeming a little hesitant, not knowing whether to explain.

However, Su Bei didn't want to listen at all, at least not now. He carelessly put his arm around the other's shoulders, threw him a flirtatious look, and asked in a scoundrelly tone: "Finance sponsor, are you still in need of a gigolo?"

Feng Lan heaved a sigh of relief, with a blank expression on her face. Although she disagreed, she still asked seriously: "I don't need any. Do you need me to recommend some to you?"

Although he dislikes doing things like maintaining a gigolo, this kind of thing is very common in the upper circle, and Feng Lan more or less knows a few people who have this need.

"...No need." Looking at his serious expression, Su Bei said dryly.

After the incident, the two began to eat. These ingredients were all things Su Bei had never eaten before, and if a non-superpower person ate this kind of food, there would be a risk of exploding and dying.

I have to say, the taste is very good. The rice cooked with fragrant rice is soft, glutinous and fragrant. Even if it is eaten dry, you can eat half a bowl. The meat of the Nightmare Pheasant is tender and more elastic and delicious than ordinary chicken. The special vegetables are not much different for Su Bei. He is a standard meat eater, and no matter how delicious the vegetables are, they are just so-so.

After just a few bites, I felt warm all over, especially in my lower abdomen, as if I had swallowed a small heater.

At this time, footsteps were heard at the door. The two turned around and saw three people walking in. Two boys and one girl. One of them had silver hair and a ponytail. He was so handsome that it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. He was walking in front. It was obvious that he was the leader of the three people.

To be honest, if it weren't for his tall stature, Su Bei might not have recognized him as a boy. Rather than a boy, he looked more like a tall, cool, beautiful woman with silver hair and a ponytail.

The moment he saw them, he noticed that Feng Lan's movements were a little slow, and it was obvious that she was familiar with them.

As expected, after scanning the cafeteria, the silver-haired boy frowned unsatisfactorily and walked straight towards Feng Lan: "Which class are you in? Class S?"

This is a very interesting sentence. The silver-haired boy obviously knows Feng Lan's ability, at least part of it. He directly guessed S class, which proves that in his opinion, Feng Lan's ability has the potential of S class.

So why did Feng Lan come to Class F?

"Class F." Feng Lan glanced at Su Bei inconspicuously, but couldn't see his reaction, so she had to answer the silver-haired boy's question with a cold face.

Hearing this answer, the silver-haired boy was stunned, and stopped asking questions tactfully. He looked at Su Bei naturally and raised his eyebrows: "So this is your new friend in Class F."

Feng Lan nodded: "This is Su Bei."

After that, he introduced to Su Bei: "This is Si Zhaohua."

The name fits his face very well.

Si Zhaohua was already familiar with the way this old acquaintance spoke. After he finished the introduction, he nodded to Su Bei, then turned and left.

Obviously, he has no intention of getting to know Su Bei.

The chubby boy following behind him went to get his meal, while the pretty girl with full makeup, nail polish and contact lenses asked in a low voice: "Mr. Si, why are you caring about two guys from Class F?"

Although her voice was very soft, in this empty cafeteria with almost no one around, even a needle dropping on the ground would make a sound, not to mention the sound of people talking.

Suddenly, the already quiet cafeteria became even quieter. The girl's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth and didn't turn around to look at Su Bei and the others. She stood stiffly and said nothing.

Although what she said was not completely bad, and her original intention was just curiosity, it was gossiping behind someone's back after all. It would have been fine if she hadn't been discovered, but she was overheard.

She felt that she was not very smart.

Finally, Si Zhaohua took the initiative to speak up and save the situation: "I'm sorry, Baozhu is not very smart, but she has no bad intentions."

After saying that, he glanced at the girl.

Baozhu immediately stood up, suppressing her shame, and walked up to Su Bei and the other two, apologizing honestly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said bad things about you."

Their behavior surprised Su Bei. It was not very comic. He had thought that the next scene would be a happy story of a rich kid mocking them and getting slapped in the face, but it turned out to be so smooth and silent.

Is it because he is not the protagonist?

But being able to avoid this trouble is obviously a good thing for him. Su Bei is not suitable to be an enemy of powerful people. If the other party finds out his identity and exposes his true identity, he will not be able to use his unknown identity to deceive readers.

However, it is worth noting that the person following this man and woman is a fat man. Unlike the friendly attitude of the first two, the fat man clearly seems very dissatisfied with Su Bei.

When he saw Baozhu apologizing, his little eyes were filled with anger, as if they had humiliated Baozhu.

Su Bei ate quickly, and Feng Lan was almost done when he finished. He thought for a while, and when Feng Lan finished the last bite, he asked directly: "By the way, is your ability really [prophecy]? What can you predict?"

————————

In fact, Su Bei is a man who speaks his mind, but comics force him to be a riddle teller.
