Chapter 20: Strange Phenomenon

Outside the instance, principals from several middle schools in Longhai City sat leisurely under the shade of a large tree, drinking tea and chatting.

Every year was like this.

While the students were inside the beginner instance, they would keep watch the whole time.

Although the beginner instance protected students with a sliver-of-health safeguard, once the students came out, they were still in that sliver-of-health state.

Longyuan Valley was not within the city, and monsters often wandered nearby.

On the eve of Awakening Day, the Education Bureau would commission the Adventurer's Guild to clear all monsters near the beginner instance, ensuring the beginner instance proceeded safely.

However, accidents could still happen.

For example, a student at sliver health just happened to be kicked out, and just happened to run into a monster that had spawned nearby…

Such tragic incidents were not isolated cases, but the norm.

"Principal, your No. 1 Middle School's Facing Ye Xingtong awakened as a Flamewrath Mage—why is she still participating in the beginner instance?"

A young principal beside Anchen asked in a low voice, his tone very deferential.

This young principal had once been a teacher working under Anchen, and held deep respect for the retired principal.

"The young people nowadays all have their own ideas!"

Anchen smiled at the corner of his mouth, took a sip of tea, then a strong glint of gossip flashed in his eyes as he continued: "If I had to guess, it's for her little boyfriend!"

"What?"

On the other side, the principal of No. 2 Middle School looked at Anchen in surprise. "Your No. 1 Middle School students are this open now? They haven't even graduated and they're already dating?"

"In the bloom of youth, isn't it perfectly normal to develop feelings for each other?"

Anchen gave a faint smile and said: "We teachers are supposed to guide students toward what's positive, not play the heavy and shatter the young lovers, leaving shadows on their tender hearts."

The No. 2 Middle School principal: "…"

This absurd argument truly left him speechless.

Then, he asked curiously: "Who is it, that could earn the favor of an S-rank hidden-class awakener?"

"Made Luo Chenyu!" Anchen's gaze fixed on the instance entrance as he said: "Perhaps that name isn't familiar to you, but Luo Kuang you should know, right?"

"No wonder…" The No. 2 Middle School principal suddenly understood. "Childhood sweethearts from the same compound!"

Suddenly, the No. 2 Middle School principal's heart stirred, and he asked: "Doesn't that mean your school has another Berserker with bloodline power?"

The young principal also spoke up: "Our school has three Berserkers too, but without the boost of bloodline power, they come across as rather ordinary."

However…

"Made Luo Chenyu didn't awaken as a Berserker, but became an ordinary Defense Warrior—a pity!"

"This…"

"Truly a pity. The Luo family should only have this one last seedling left; this bloodline is likely to be cut off here!"

Anchen sighed and continued: "Made Luo Chenyu's eyes are exactly the same as Luo Kuang's. I believe even as a Defense Warrior, he can become a Gao Jie-class professional."

The No. 2 Middle School principal asked doubtfully: "Since he's the same as Luo Kuang, then he… wouldn't be taking the solo-mode assessment, would he?"

"Exactly. He even made a deal with me!"

Then, Anchen laid out the entire contents of the deal, instantly leaving the two principals beside him speechless.

They all sighed in admiration—blood is thicker than water, indeed.

Just at this moment.

At the instance entrance, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, drawing everyone's gaze.

"He's out in just one hour?"

"With that kind of light, someone got an SSS rating!"

Apart from a few students who had been eliminated and stayed behind to watch the excitement, everyone present was basically a teacher from a middle school in Longshan City.

Naturally, they were well-versed in the light from the instance entrance.

Even if they'd never eaten pork, they'd seen a pig run.
