Shang Yu entered the classroom and found her seat - the Provincial Top Scholar's seat, which was in the center of the classroom. She wouldn't linger at school for long, as she only came here out of a sense of... At her age, she didn't know what else to do if she didn't attend school.
Leaning on her hand, she stared at her phone, trying to locate the serial killer's position. She had to admit that the person's methods seemed somewhat familiar; she felt like she had seen them somewhere before.
Soon, many other students arrived in the classroom, including Xia Qingyue, who sat in front of her, just like in high school.
"I bought these, one for each of us," said Xia Qingyue, taking out a headband with the words "Instant Wealth" printed on it.
Shang Yu accepted it. She thought about giving Xia Qingyue a bead from home, but then recalled the man's words and abandoned the idea. She decided to gift her a talisman from the Witch Tribe tomorrow instead - one that could prevent hair loss.
After she had annihilated the Witch Tribe, Shang Yu had read many of their books out of boredom. Well, she had burned them all eventually.
Even if there were any Witch Tribe members still alive, no one would know more about them than her.
Shang Yu realized that having lived for so long, she had picked up bits and pieces of knowledge about everything.
She even seemed to know how to tell fortunes -
Not that she bothered, as using her brain wasn't much fun.
"Students! Welcome to this class. I am your homeroom teacher, my surname is Lin, and my given name is Sui."
"From now on, please give me your full support. In Class One, there is a default school rule: as long as you are busy with your career, you can apply for a long leave of absence. However, you must take an exam every month. If your exam results decline over the course of a semester, you will be demoted."
"Of course, Class One holds lessons every day, and the teachers will send the course materials to your email inboxes daily."
"If any student needs to take a leave of absence, they can study by watching the recorded videos."
"Due to the unique nature of our profession, we also hope that everyone will respect academic pursuits."
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
Lin Sui smiled softly as she looked around at the students.
There were twenty students in this class, and she knew each of their names.
No one had any questions, and they murmured quietly amongst themselves.
"If there are no questions, then I'll distribute the books."
At that moment, the school's assistants had already brought in the books. They sorted them out and delivered them to each student.
Xia Qingyue turned and whispered, "There are so many child stars in this class. Now they're all famous celebrities. Everyone seems so aloof."
Shang Yu nodded in agreement. What you said is true.
That deranged serial killer would likely strike tonight...
The first day of school was ideal for finding victims, and she couldn't afford to remain idle.
"I'm feeling pretty nervous. What should I do?"
"Don't panic."
"The pressure is so intense," Xia Qingyue sounded flustered, feeling like she might get demoted from Class One due to poor exam performance.
"Hm? What did you say?" Shang Yu raised her eyes to look at her.
Xia Qingyue thought to herself, "...You were just brushing me off."
"Never mind, keep thinking," she said as she rested her head on the desk, staring at the thick books with a sigh. Four more years of university...
It was only the first day of the new semester, and she already felt suffocated.
The classroom was filled with the scent of new books, an aroma that only amplified the pressure.
This was an exceptionally quiet class, and a quick glance revealed that everyone was a prominent figure.
She was just a small fry...
The only noteworthy thing she had done was perform a solo dance during the Spring Festival Gala.
The teacher droned on about various matters the students should be aware of at school, and so on.
Afterward, she allowed them to engage in free activities, as there wasn't much planned for today.
Lectures were unlikely, as it seemed no one had settled in yet.
Shang Yu stood up, and Xia Qingyue rolled her eyes at her friend's back, annoyed that she didn't invite her to the restroom. Weren't close friends supposed to go to the restroom together?
