Chapter 40: Suspicion on Shirley, Teacher’s Suggestion
“Good morning, everyone. You are all children who have awakened your Endowed Supernatural Ability. You will have a vast world in the future. But I need to give you some advice and tell you the rules of survival to follow in this dangerous world before you spread your wings and fly.”
A teacher, whose name William could not remember, spoke up.
Although it was William’s first time participating in such a large class, to be precise, every student would only participate once, after awakening their Endowed Supernatural Ability.
But he had already understood before that the meaning of such a large class was to make things easier. After all, they were all extraordinary students who had awakened their Endowed Supernatural Ability around the same time. It would be very tiring for the teacher to speak to each student one by one, and it was also possible that they would miss out on something.
Therefore, it was better if the teachers and the students gather and announce that. Everyone would have the chance to fill up what was missing. Each student would also receive advice and help from different teachers.
It might be useful but also pretty boring.
Suddenly, Shirley poked William’s arm.
William had just turned his head when Shirley leaned over. A fragrance came from Shirley’s hair.
“Gulp.” William gulped.
“Hey, guess what I heard?”
Shirley lowered her voice and said mysteriously.
William was stunned, and then his gaze swept across the entire classroom. There was only a little bird at the window, and the student closest to it was… Sam!
He knew about Shirley’s Endowed Supernatural Ability was [Heaven’s Messenger] that could control all birds to obtain their sight and hearing.
“What did Sam say?”
William asked directly.
Shirley did not expect him to guess it so quickly. She said with some dissatisfaction, “Can’t you just pretend that you didn’t guess it!”
Before William could say anything, a golden light flashed above his head, and a small stone fell out.
He frowned and noticed it at once. He slightly dodged his body, then reached out and grabbed the stone in his hand.
“Your reaction is not bad!”
The teacher who was talking in front spoke. He looked at William and said, “But this is not a reason for you to whisper. If you talk to the girl next to you again, the two of you can stand here with me. We will listen to you.”
William touched the stone in his hand. It was just an ordinary stone, but the method of falling from the sky should be the teacher’s Endowed Supernatural Ability.
He spread out his hand and placed the stone on the table, revealing a bitter smile. He said in front of all the students in the classroom, “I’m sorry, I’ll shut up.”
That teacher did not make things difficult for William, but the spiritual energy on his body flickered for a moment. A pitch-black space opened again, and the stone on William’s table appeared in front of him.
“Wow!”
In an instant, all the students in the classroom exclaimed in surprise. After all, the strength of one’s Endowed Supernatural Ability was important, but the amazing effects were also important.
This teacher’s Endowed Supernatural Ability was amazing.
Then, the teacher continued to speak, and Shirley handed him a piece of paper.
On it was written: Sorry, but I still have to tell you that Sam is spreading your bet. He probably wants to embarrass you.
William was amused and looked at Sam with a pity look in his eyes.
Poor kid. He didn’t know who would be more embarrassed.
William turned his head and wrote on the paper, “What was that teacher’s Endowed Supernatural Ability? It’s amazing.”
Not long after, Shirley returned the note. It said, “[Seamless Summoning]. It’s a Summoning Category Ability. But the summoning item must be stored into it in advance, and it must be a lifeless object. I don’t think it’s a big deal. It’s just like a portable warehouse.”
As expected!
William took a deep look at Shirley.
He had long felt that this student was not ordinary. Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case. She could tell out a teacher’s Endowed Supernatural Ability at once. What did this mean? It meant that her background was not simple.
Moreover, there was disdain for this Endowed Supernatural Ability in her words. The other students were all surprised.
Such contrast made Shirley’s background seem even more powerful.
The first thing she did was form an alliance with him and build a closer relationship with him after learning about the King’s Blood. Such a method made William think of a group of people.
They had resources that were superior to commoners. They had a superb vision. They even knew about the changes and the deepest mysteries of this world. They did not blend in with the crowd but were not separated from it either. They would not mock the weak and would only ally with the strong and not reject them.
They had deep thoughts and thoughts that surpassed their age.
They were the nobles!
It was precise because they were nobles that they received the best education from a young age. They also knew how to blend in and how to treat others.
William had a suspicion that Shirley was the descendant of a noble. However, he could not understand why a descendant of a noble would come to the Ninth Academy. Shouldn’t she go to the Noble Academy?
Perhaps it was a declining noble?
William couldn’t figure it out, and he didn’t intend to ask about it directly. After all, the relationship between the two of them was quite good. It might destroy their simple relationship if he asked about it.
In that case, he wouldn’t lose someone he could ask if he wanted to know more about things in the future.
It would be great to remain the situation as it was at the moment. He could ask Shirley directly if he was curious about any teacher’s Endowed Supernatural Ability, and she would tell him.
Other than that.
William leaned his body sideways, his elbow leaning against the table, his fist pressed against his chin, and he tilted his head to look at the teacher who possessed the [ Seamless Summoning ] ability.
He wanted to steal it. The portable warehouse was also useful. Alright! He was longing for it!
An hour passed, and all the teachers talked about what they should do after becoming an extraordinary being. Then, it was the most important part, and they began to give the teacher’s suggestions.
Students might not necessarily have to follow, but the teacher’s suggestions were the most experienced.
“Then, Mr. George, you first. It seems that you only have two students.”
The teacher with the [ Seamless Summoning ] ability spoke and then added, “Mr. Martin only has two students, right? Then you should speak next.”
Mr. George walked forward, cleared his throat, and said, “Shirley, William, stand up!”
The two immediately stood up.
Mr. George glanced at William faintly, then he said, “Shirley, your Endowed Supernatural Ability is a B-Class Special Category [ Heaven’s Messenger ]. As for you, I suggest that you participate in the advanced examination, and you can carry out special recruitment after completing the score. After all, your Endowed Supernatural Ability is useful. It’s rare even in the Human Alliance. Perhaps the Hope Society will also want you, and then you can choose for yourself.”
The Special Category Endowed Supernatural Ability was rare, to begin with, and her ability was equivalent to releasing countless spies. Moreover, it was the type that could fly but wasn’t obvious.
“As for William.”
Mr. George was silent for a while.
“An F-Class good-for-nothing should go to the First Wall Area!”
Someone used his Endowed Supernatural Ability. His voice came from all directions, making it difficult to distinguish who had shouted that.
But William’s gaze immediately fell on one person. It was the fat boy behind Sam.
