Protagonist:

Su Mo

「……」

「Good, good, good! 」

The Principal patted Su Mo's shoulder even more satisfiedly, then pointed at the five boxes before him, "Hurry up and choose one; this is the reward No. 2 High School gives you. This time, the Yu Cheng Joint Examination really let our Yu Cheng No. 2 High School hold our heads high."

As he spoke, the Principal swung his arm.

Pale green energy coiled around his palm, then wrapped around the five boxes.

Simultaneously, with a 'click', the latches on all five boxes opened at once, revealing the true forms of the weapons inside.

Then Principal Lin waved his hand, dispersing all the energy.

"Principal, this is?"

Sure enough, Su Mo's gaze shifted directly from the weapon forms to the flashy ability the Principal had just displayed, completely drawn to it.

But this was normal.

Even looking across all of Blue Star, abilities were extremely rare and precious.

Let alone in this small Yu Cheng.

Seeing an ability user was even harder.

Su Mo had never imagined that, in his own school, the so-called Principal of No. 2 High School was actually a Reincarnator possessing such a powerful ability.

"Oh~"

Principal Lin, showing off a bit, turned his head, revealing a gentle smile.

It was clear this ability was still enough to attract people.

He then cleared his throat and introduced, "This is a wind-type ability we obtained when we trained in the Reincarnation World before. These years, in our spare time, we've also developed some other uses for it."

"This is... an ability..."

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Su Mo's eyes; obviously he was very interested in abilities.

Ability!

Just hearing the name sounded incredibly cool; anyway, Su Mo really wanted to get an ability.

But this kind of thing could be encountered but not sought.

Compared to arts and weapons, it was even more precious, and the only ways to obtain it were by opening Mission Treasure Chests or possibly in certain special Mission Worlds.

But no matter which method was chosen, the probability of an ability appearing was frighteningly low.

Anyway, Su Mo had never seen any ability until now.

Today he only saw, for the first time on the Principal, the ability he had often heard about before.

It had to be said, the Principal's strength was definitely real.

Otherwise he couldn't have obtained this one-in-a-million ability; you have to know that not even many Fifth-Order Reincarnators could necessarily obtain an ability, yet this Principal before him could possess one.

"You don't need to envy; with your talent, it's only a matter of time."

Seeing Su Mo's gaze, the Principal nodded satisfiedly, then deliberately comforted him.

It had to be said.

This ability was what he was most proud of.

Back then it was also good luck; he drew a wind-attribute ability from a Golden Treasure Chest. Although his strength, due to an old ailment back then, had always been unable to break through to Fifth-Order Reincarnator, because of the help of the ability, his true combat power wasn't too far from a Fifth-Order Reincarnator.

"Principal, this thing isn't so easy to get..."

Su Mo said with a wry smile.

He thought to himself, "If this ability were really this easy to get, there wouldn't still be so many Fourth Rank and above Reincarnators who haven't obtained an ability until now."

Just as said before, abilities were very rare.

And when upgrading, besides needing a large amount of points, other abilities were also needed.

And unlike consumables such as weapons, once you got a new, better weapon, you could sell the old one directly, but abilities could be fused.

But the premise was that you had a large amount of points.

It was also precisely because it could be fused and so on.

At home it was still that obtaining abilities was difficult and so on, so very few people could obtain abilities.

And those with abilities were all without exception heaven's favorites.

It could be said that the former Principal of No. 2 High School was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Young people... just need confidence. Isn't it just an ability? As long as you believe you can do it, work hard and give it a shot, maybe you can get one. I was like that back then."

The Principal smiled and said.

Changing the subject, the Principal said meaningfully, "But your idea isn't bad either. After all, young people can't be too ambitious; it's best to be down-to-earth."

"Although abilities are indeed good, you must remember that only hard strength is the fundamental power."

He was here specifically to show Su Mo an ability.

Actually it wasn't without reason.

Su Mo's talent was very strong, but this was only in their Yu Cheng, a small city.

He couldn't let Su Mo appear to look down on everything; that wasn't a good thing for this child's future path, after all, with his talent he should stand on a bigger stage.

Yu Cheng, to Su Mo, was just a springboard.

The place where he started.

If his state of mind is not adjusted at such a time, it will surely affect him in the future.

And originally, these matters did not need a Principal to worry about them.

After all, as far as he was concerned, as long as he achieved good results in the College Entrance Examination, it would already be a golden signboard for their entire Er Zhong; as for how far he could go in the future, it had no direct relationship with them.

No matter how high your achievements are, will they bring him any benefit?

To put it more realistically.

Look at how many outstanding students Er Zhong has cultivated over these years, yet how many can remember Er Zhong?

「……」

But Su Mo was different from this.

Originally, at first he only stood from Er Zhong's perspective, wanting to win over this youth with outstanding talent, but now seeing Su Mo's various performances, he truly valued this youth somewhat.

It is not just being absent-minded.

This quality is something many people do not possess.

So Principal Lin went to great lengths this time, using his own way to remind Su Mo.

There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

"Principal, I will remember what you said. Thank you for your reminder."

Su Mo, coming back to his senses, quickly understood the true meaning of the Principal's words, nodded slightly, and simultaneously bowed to him.

"Good, as long as you understand!"

Principal Lin had a smile all over his face and nodded.

Regarding Su Mo's reaction, he was naturally very satisfied now.

It seemed that with his reminder just now, Su Mo had understood the meaning within.

"Alright!"

Principal Lin stepped forward two steps, walking to Su Mo's side.

Then he gently patted his shoulder, pointing at the weapons among the five boxes in front, saying, "Alright Su Mo, look at the gifts the school has prepared for you."

"Mm."

Su Mo came back to his senses, only then remembering today's main character.

The extraordinary talent Principal Lin displayed just now indeed attracted all of his attention.

For a moment he actually forgot the main purpose of coming here today, which was actually to obtain those weapons given by the Principal.
