Chapter 57: First Formal Contact.

The class reunion in the afternoon was lackluster. The only surprising thing was that Xiao Fen, who had always kept a low profile, actually scored above the second-tier university line in the college entrance exam.

Not a key school, not a key class, Xiao Fen achieving this score really made all his classmates look at him with new eyes.

However, this new look only lasted for a few short minutes. After that, everything returned to calm.

The classmates still had no interaction with Xiao Fen, and the current Xiao Fen felt a sense of superiority towards his classmates.

He was a Trialist, while his classmates were merely Mortals.

Eventually, this boring gathering ended amidst the noisy honking of a car.

Except for the distracted Xiao Fen, everyone turned their eyes downstairs.

There, a red high-end sports car with a black license plate was honking its horn recklessly. The school security guard stood far aside, seemingly having some dread towards this car.

This honking lasted for a while. After determining that there was no proper response, a short-haired girl opened the driver’s door, walked out, looked up at the third floor of the teaching building, and shouted, “Xiao Fen, come out here.”

Xiao Fen paused for a moment. Under the strange gazes of his classmates, he walked to the window and looked down.

This was a girl with golden curly hair, looking no older than 19. Her facial skin was very smooth and tight. Two small freckles near her nose not only didn’t affect her exquisite features but actually added a bit of playfulness and stubbornness to that face.

Unlike what Xiao Fen had imagined earlier, this girl’s figure couldn’t be described as hot. It was probably average for Asians—not too good, but with some substance.

At least from Xiao Fen’s angle, the girl in the red short skirt still had a bit of cleavage on her chest. Of course, just a bit.

Xiao Fen didn’t know the girl in front of him.

Before this, the female s he was most familiar with were his mother and Sylvia. But neither the voice nor the body type of the girl in front of him matched either of them.

So, Xiao Fen just looked at the other party and didn’t answer directly.

However, the blonde girl clearly knew Xiao Fen. She shouted loudly, “Xiao Fen, hurry up and come down. I have a lot of things to do. I don’t have time to waste here with you.”

Xiao Fen remained silent for a moment before answering, “I don’t know you.”

“You don’t need to know me. I’m here to inform you that your school has been arranged. Now, come down. I’ll take you to get your admission letter. There are also some details we need to discuss.”

Xiao Fen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around. His classmates were all looking at him as if he were a Monster.

Such gazes made him feel a trace of pride, but also made him feel annoyed.

These classmates’ gazes were no different from those of his elementary school classmates. In the end, in their eyes, he was just a Monster.

Thinking of this, he didn’t refuse the blonde girl’s invitation. He flipped over and jumped down from the third-floor balcony. Behind him, a low gasp of surprise suddenly rang out.

“Since I’m already a Monster in your eyes, then I might as well be a Monster to the end.”

Landing heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, Xiao Fen thought. He shook his clothes, walked to the passenger side door, and asked, “Are we leaving now?”

The blonde girl was also stunned by Xiao Fen’s sudden decisiveness. Her purple pupils contracted slightly, then she nodded and said, “Yes, we’re leaving now. Because of your sudden Awakening, I have to do a lot of extra work before leaving this city.”

Xiao Fen was also stunned. As the girl entered the car and pushed open the passenger door, he calmly sat in. While fastening his seatbelt, he said in a low voice, “You were tracking me.”

“We track every confirmed abnormal human, as long as they are within our monitoring capabilities. This morning, you caused interference to one of our worlds. Only humans we call Awakened have that ability. That’s how we found you. Then you went to the library. We waited for you for 2 hours, and even until now.”

Xiao Fen frowned slightly. He keenly picked up on a problem in the blonde girl’s words: she voluntarily told him about “being called Awakened”. In other words, the girl didn’t know that Xiao Fen already knew what an Awakened was.

If that was the case, it might also mean that no one knew he had entered a Trial World before.

Thinking of this, he deliberately said, “You could have gone directly to the library to find me.”

“Awakening requires enough time. Not every Awakened lives that long. For us, from discovering signs of Awakening in someone to communicating with them, there must be an interval of at least 4 hours. During this period, we won’t contact the potential Awakened, only monitor them to avoid possible interference.”

Xiao Fen turned his head to look out the window and said softly, “I took a nap in the library.”

“Who cares about that? There are no Awakened in this city. I was only here temporarily to execute some tasks. Then, this morning they notified me that a suspected Awakened appeared here. Because of this, I had to stay in this city for an extra 6 hours. Listen, I have no interest in whether you were reading or sleeping in the library. My task is to monitor you via satellite for over 4 hours, confirm there are no abnormalities, contact you, and then take you to a safer place to talk about your future.”

Xiao Fen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It sounded like the blonde girl had no idea he had entered a Trial World, let alone that he actually knew a lot of things.

However, thinking about the Li Family, as a Level 1 Trialist, it wouldn’t hurt to disguise himself a bit deeper. In the Real World, Xiao Fen didn’t have a mask to hide behind.

“You know my name is Xiao Fen. I don’t know your name?”

“Du Linoa, everyone calls me Du Juan. Just like my name, I am a mixed-blood. I awakened four years ago. Never mind, it’s too early to talk about Awakening with you now. When I take you to the place, the explanation there will be more detailed.”

Xiao Fen turned his head to look at the girl, Du Juan, and asked, “You called me here. What was the main matter?”

“Filing a record. Filing, you know. Theoretically, everyone who Awakens and survives needs to file a record. It’s for the Council of Elders to manage. Don’t look at me like that. You will know about the Council of Elders’ knowledge in a moment.”

“Sounds like you are just a runner.”

Xiao Fen couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark.
