Chapter 343: Opening School

Heavenly River Higher Academy, the gentle sunlight shone upon this academy with a long history.

Jiang Xia looked at the familiar architectural style, which reminded him of his school days a few years ago, though the place he studied was much more shabby than here.

White pigeons rose and fell above the distant lawn, and beside the pebble path one could see students walking in pairs, hand in hand; beneath the medieval sculpture was a sparkling fountain, its water reflecting the beauty of youth.

Jiang Xia walked forward slowly, and before him lay a wide lawn, with shaded grass forming a ring, the color a vivid emerald.

This inevitably reminded him of his own school days, truly a flood of memories.

Even with the youth filter, however, the grass here and the football field grass in his memory are not on the same level.

This identity is really interesting.

Jiang Xia took out the identity certificate that had appeared out of nowhere in his pocket, while interpreting the information in his mind and observing the surroundings to determine what he should do.

He looked around; the students here all wore uniforms, and these uniforms were quite different from those he wore in school.

White shirt, sky-blue jacket similar to a suit, rose-colored tie, and the cuffs embroidered with three bright red stripes.

Moreover, the pleasant environment here gives a strong feeling of a campus youth idol drama.

It looks like an aristocratic school, Jiang Xia thought to himself.

His identity this time is that of a psychological teacher at Heavenly River Academy.

The treatment is quite good, because he has his own private counseling room here, with an excellent environment and no outsiders.

This job satisfies him, because a psychological teacher's work is leisurely, rarer than a sports teacher who is often sick.

Moreover, there is a perfectly legitimate reason to come into contact with all the students, which indeed matches his wishes.

Just then, a series of exclamations came from behind Jiang Xia; the frightened sound instantly drew the attention of most students.

It was a classmate skateboarding on the lawn; of course skateboarding wouldn't attract attention, as this game is quite common at Heavenly River High School.

But now this ordinary game attracted the gaze of most of the surrounding students.

Because what drew the students' concern was not his skateboarding motion, but his speed.

The student on the skateboard was extremely fast, indeed the kind of speed that couldn't be stopped.

One could see a young student skateboarding, moving swiftly across the grass.

His body swayed left and right, his hands constantly waving in the air trying to grab something, and his mouth kept uttering wailing screams.

Although Heavenly River's lawn has a slight curvature, without power a skateboard can only glide a few meters before stopping.

But now the skateboard's speed is clearly unreasonable, and he seems unable to stop.

Get out of the way, we're going to crash!

He looked at Jiang Xia standing at the edge of the lawn, waved his hands frantically, his face a mess of features.

He just wanted to enjoy skateboarding on the first day of school, but he never imagined this would happen.

Just then, a male student wearing a black jacket with a crew cut saw this scene, his expression changing drastically.

He sprinted forward quickly toward the student who couldn't stop.

No wonder he's a hot-blooded male lead, he really has energy.

Jiang Xia watched the student rushing toward him, feeling the speed of this running dash, and let out a sigh.

"We're going to collide!" the student shouted, covering his face with both hands, waiting for the impact.

As if not seeing it would prevent danger.

However, this is also normal; closing one's eyes in danger is a conditioned reflex of most creatures.

At the moment just before colliding with Jiang Xia, the guy in the black jacket lunged out from behind him and flung himself at the skateboarder. "Bang!"

The skateboard, now without wheels, flew into the air and then fell straight to the ground, making the sound of a board breaking.

Moments later.

"Are you okay?" the boy in the black jacket rose from the grass, looking at the classmate he had tackled, whose face was pale, and asked.

"No… no." the uniformed boy stumbled up from the ground; he had just barely avoided flying out and hitting someone.

"All good then." He smiled, patting the dirt from his hands where he had braced himself.

At this moment Jiang Xia walked over, looked at the still-shaken student, and said:

"Don't play such a dangerous game at school next time; luckily this time it didn't cause any major consequences."

"Sorry, teacher, I won't do that again."

The skateboarding boy also seemed to realize his mistake, lowering his head to apologize.

"Let this not happen again; thanks to this classmate."

Jiang Xia turned his head toward the classmate who had just acted bravely and asked: "What's your name?"

"My name is Ruyue." He showed a sunny, confident smile. "Ruyue Xian Tairan."

"I'm Jiang Xia, the new teacher and also a psychological counselor; if you need any help, just come to my office." Jiang Xia said.

"Hmm, teacher, then you are my first friend here."

Ruyue Xian Tairan excitedly reached out his hand to Jiang Xia.

"Good, you are also my first friend here." Jiang Xia smiled, extended his hand; after they shook, they successfully signed a contract in a simple motion.

Oh, no, it's becoming friends.

"Teacher, you can do it too!"

Ruyue Xian Tairan excitedly told Jiang Xia, "This is a move I designed after thinking about it for a long time."

"Of course, back in high school I was just like you." Jiang Xia raised his right hand and shook it.

During school, one always wants to be different or fantasizes about having superpowers; these are completely normal feelings.

This also shows up in actions or behavior, for example, close classmates together create their own gestures and communicate with them; this is also quite normal.

However, Xian Tairan is an exception, because he first decides that a person is worth befriending, then makes the definite gesture.

Xian Tairan's way of making friends is special; he has his own set of rules, and the gesture he just made is the sign of becoming friends with him.

Just then, the campus broadcast suddenly chimed.

Hearing the chime, Xiantailang's expression suddenly became urgent; he raised his head to look at the chime constantly ringing in the corner of the teaching building.

"I'm doomed, Teacher, I have to go report first; see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, go on—can't be late on the first day of school, Xiantailang."

Jiang Xia watched Xiantailang dash away, smiling and shaking his head.

Afterward, he followed the address from his memory and found the teachers' office floor.

As he was going up the office stairs, he bumped into a young woman wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt with a white shirt over it.

They brushed past each other, but at the moment they passed, a strange energy appeared in Jiang Xia's perception.

"Scorpio…?"
