If he was to say that he was absorbing the powers of the stars, then there would be no reason for others not to notice it. Since those powers were probably not channeled to him through simple means, what exactly were those starlights that he had absorbed?
It did not seem to be similar to what others were experiencing.
Being the only one with these powers was a huge issue: there was no one you could discuss this with nor was there anyone who could guide you, it was all up you find out for yourself.
But no matter what, it was a good thing to be able to stay hidden. Although the matters with the Metahumans seemed to have been publicly announced, Lu Shu was uncertain if those men in black windbreakers would continue to go around capturing people.
As he entered the classroom, he was greeted by the presence of his classmates which he never felt close to at all.
For the sophomores, their first day back at Luo Cheng International School had been flagged off with a mock exam. This was to drag the students back to reality since they had been running wild for the past half a month of vacation. Wait till they see their results, only then will they feel despair.
However, Lu Shu was neither worried about the exams at all nor was he ever worried about his studies from the start.
It was as if this was his compensation from the Heavens, being physically frail from young, he was exceptionally intelligent.
During the first exam which was the Language test, there was a huge commotion out at the corridor midway through the test. One student had shouted out loud, “What proof do you have to accuse me of cheating?”
It was so loud that the entire building of classes had heard it.
This building had 7 floors in total with the fourth and fifth floor hosting the sophomores while the sixth and seventh floor hosted the seniors. Lu Shu’s classes were on the fifth floor and climbing the stairs to reach his class would leave him breathless and panting. However, after he had eaten the Refresher Fruit, it seemed to have cured the weakness within him and he could now ascend the stairs without much of a problem.
Furthermore, after he had lighted up two of the stars, his physical abilities were double of an average adult. Even though he still looked thin and fragile, he actually had a lot of strength.
The commotion had obviously occurred on the same floor and Lu Shu was wondering which class did was this student from, how brave…
Shortly after, everyone heard a loud, resounding noise. It sounded as if a wood-like object had been smashed and shattered into pieces as it fell from a height onto the ground.
The commotion at the corridor started to intensify and had become extremely rowdy. Lu Shu’s form teacher walked out of the class to take a look, appearing to not care about the exam anymore.
The form teacher, Shi Qingyan, immediately had a huge change in expression the moment he exited the class as he rushed across the corridor.
At this moment, Lu Shu’s Sophomore Class 3 went crazy. What exactly could have happened that would cause Shi Qingyan to exhibit such an expression?
Suddenly, in the corridor outside of the class, Shi Qingyan extorted, “Stop, how dare you raise your hand against a teacher!”
There was an uproar within the class as everyone looked blankly at each other. Even Lu Shu was stunned. Who was that daring such that he would beat a teacher up on the first day of school?
Being caught cheating was not something very usual but since this was just an insignificant exam, the school would not give the student any demerit points. However, would hitting a teacher not turn it into something very severe?
Someone from the class stuck his head out and took a peek, “Oh damn! Quick, come take a look, forget the exam, every other class is out here looking at this already!”
As such, everyone ran out to see what exactly had happened and Lu Shu was no exception.
The corridor was filled with bystanders and Sophomore Class3 had come out a little later than everyone else. Clueless, they asked around and a male student with a perplexed look on his turned around and answered, “Some guy from Sophomore Class 7 had awakened. He was caught cheating and was able to lift up the rostrum with one hand, flinging it down the building…”
Metahumans?!
