Capítulo 82: Chapter 82: At the Very Least, Someone Should Play Video Games with Him

Liam and Cain exchanged pleasant smiles, holding each other's gaze for a few seconds. Just before the atmosphere could become awkward, Liam laughed and said,

"Hahaha, I see, that clears up my curiosity."

"Goodbye, Headmaster Mo."

Then, he quickly turned around and flew back toward his dorm, his expression shifting. His mind was slightly jumbled. He couldn't understand why Cain would say that. Clearly, The Voices of All Things had warned him that the red envelope contained information about a traitor.

Liam didn't want to speculate too much, but he decided to leave quickly. If Cain was indeed the traitor, then there was no point in worrying—everyone would be doomed anyway.

Tonight, many people wouldn't be getting any sleep.

Cain returned to his room, sat in his recliner, and looked up at the photos pasted on the wall, memories of his once dear family and cherished moments.

Without turning on the light, he sat quietly, thoughts lingering on his earlier conversation with Liam.

Even though both of them wore polite smiles at the time, it had been one of Cain's rare moments of anxiety.

"Does that kid... know something?"

Meanwhile, Lyra lay on her bed, holding the book Cain had given her. She still remembered the last few things Cain had said to her.

"Let's keep our teacher-student relationship between us."

"I want to help you, but I also fear that one day I might hold you back... Sigh..."

Lyra kept pondering his words. Their teacher-student relationship was oddly confusing, Cain's manner seemed full of unspoken worries.

It was supposed to be a master accepting a disciple, but it felt more like the master owed something to the disciple...

...

"To confess, or not to confess? Confess, or not to confess..."

Sophia sat on the edge of her bed, twirling a pen between her fingers, playing a game of tic-tac-toe. She was lost in endless indecision.

Worried that the difference between her online and offline personas would lead to a socially awkward moment, she'd postponed the conversation. Now, it felt more awkward than ever.

Liam, who she met early on, had already made connections with various people and exchanged contacts with Jack. Yet, she, who knew him first, technically hadn't exchanged contact information (since they were already connected as online friends)!

"Confess..."

After reaching the final tic-tac-toe mark, the conclusion still pointed to confessing. But she hadn't figured out how to approach the topic. Frustrated, she buried her face in her pillow, wanting to be a tortoise hiding in its shell for a few minutes.

"Whoo!" She exhaled, face slightly flushed from lack of air, and lay back on the bed.

Come to think of it, Liam seemed different today...

With his almost prophetic sensitivity, he mentioned the possibility of a traitor, suggesting he had been holding back for a while.

Does he suspect anyone... including me?

Why did he have that private conversation with Headmaster Mo at the end?

He's probably struggling with his thoughts now, too.

She picked up her phone and noticed a message from Liam:

Traveler: "Are you there?"

Sophia's eyebrows knitted together as she looked at the message. She instinctively felt that he probably wanted to discuss something serious.

Sitting up, she leaned against the headboard, adopting a more serious expression.

Yogurt Stick: "I'm here!"

Soon, another message came through.

Traveler: "Wanna log in?"

Traveler: "There's a new character out!"

Sophia: ...

Reading this, her expression froze, caught entirely off guard by the shift in topic.

Wasn't this supposed to be a serious conversation?!

How did we end up playing video games? That's quite the turn of events.

Only you could pull this off!

After returning to his room, Liam hadn't been torn and anxious like others expected. Instead, he ignored it all and launched his game!

What traitor? Right now, it's game time.

He'd already worked a lot tonight without getting much out of it. He'd marked locations, fought, and hadn't even asked for any extra rewards.

Now that he thought about it, it felt like a massive loss!

Sure, they promised contribution points, but seeing how stressed Vice Principal Tang and the other heads looked, he didn't push for it.

So, today's work went way beyond what he usually aimed for, making him feel like he'd put in unpaid overtime.

The issue of the traitor was already raised. If the higher-ups didn't care, then it was their negligence. As a student, he wasn't going to worry about it.

Credit must be given to Jack, head of one of the six core student departments. He hadn't shown up all night, entirely slacking off!

Jack probably enjoyed his evening and then went straight to bed. As for living life to the fullest, Jack had that down.

In the end, after staring at Liam's message for a few seconds, Sophia smiled helplessly and agreed to play games all night with him.

If no one was willing to pay him for his contributions, at least someone should play games with him.

...

Naturally, this led to Liam looking noticeably less lively during the first class of Eastern Academy's opening day.

Fifty-six students stood in the open field of the playground—this year's specially admitted students, plus some top-performing superhuman newcomers.

In the students' words, this was the "rocket class" or the "experimental class."

Standing among them, Liam yawned. What exactly did they teach at a superhuman academy? Why was the first class outdoors? Was it physical education?

He recognized many of the students—Lyra, Ryan, and, of course, Liu Peng.

At that moment, Liu Peng eagerly sidled up, saying with a fawning grin,

"Boss, you're here! Hehe."

Liam: ...

I'm here, sure. But what's with the goofy grin? Are you some kind of pig brother?

Liam checked his watch. There was still about a minute left before class was scheduled to start, but the teacher hadn't arrived yet.

The first class of the school year, and the teacher's late?

As he was pondering this, a small black dot appeared in the sky. The next second, a towering figure plummeted from above, landing like a meteor right in front of the students.

A deafening crash silenced all conversations. All eyes turned to the towering, over-two-meter-tall man with a dark face.

With a fierce look that bore no resemblance to a teacher, he seemed more like a prison escapee gang leader.

He scanned the students, nodding slightly as his eyes swept over each face.

"Fifty-six of you, all present. Not bad. Looks like I won't need to use this."

With that, he planted the giant black three-meter-long rod he was holding into the ground, producing a low hum.


Capítulo 83: Chapter 83: Cultivate an Invincible Heart Through Constant Failure

Silence.

A tense silence enveloped everyone. The peculiar entrance of the new teacher had successfully made every student's face twitch.

Is this really a teacher? Did he stumble into the wrong scene?

Then, the students' eyes drifted to the massive iron ruler on the ground, still buzzing. It had sunk deep into the ground, and the surrounding earth was cracked.

A teaching stick? He meant this thing? This thing could kill someone!

Seeing the crowd remain silent, the dark-faced giant nodded.

"My name is Niu Jingyu, and I'm your instructor for this first class of the new semester. Well, I can't really be called a teacher."

"I see a lot of you looking all timid and meek, which annoys me a bit. I was hoping one of you would be bold enough to challenge me."

"But this is fine too. You don't think you're just regular students, do you?"

"This place is to train warriors! Warriors who will fight against the gods!"

"If you don't want to be the first to become a corpse in the future, I suggest you start taking every day in this academy seriously and stop acting like slackers!"

Niu Jingyu took a step forward, his towering figure exerting even more pressure.

"Since none of you want to stand out and challenge me, it looks like my teaching stick won't be needed for now. Let's get straight to today's lesson."

"First question: What kind of teacher do you think I am?"

His question was met with silence.

The imposing presence of Niu Jingyu had cowed everyone into silence. None of the students thought this guy, who looked like a murderer, was actually a teacher. So, no one dared to speak up.

Niu Jingyu didn't seem surprised; it was as if he expected this. Casually, he pointed at Lyra, who stood in the front row.

"You, tell me, what kind of teacher do you think I am?"

"I believe you might be a combat instructor," Lyra answered without hesitation.

"Judging someone based on appearances is foolish, but understandable. However, you're wrong."

"I am your psychology instructor, here to give you psychological guidance."

With that, Niu Jingyu flashed a terrifying grin.

"Pretty soon, all of you will need to keep your legs straight and clench your buttholes."

"To avoid embarrassing yourselves."

As he spoke, a beautiful woman wearing glasses walked up behind him, standing quietly.

"Let me introduce you; this is the assistant instructor, Miss Xue. You can call her Teacher Xue."

"Her main job is to protect you guys later, to prevent you from turning into idiots. After all, I think highly of you, so I won't hold back."

Listening to his continuous stream of frightening words, the students couldn't help but tense up.

What the hell is going on? What is he even talking about?!

But Niu Jingyu paid no attention to whether his words were causing psychological trauma, continuing,

"I imagine many of you have had the experience of praying for good fortune, like saying 'Heaven protect me' or 'I hope the gods bless me,' when facing something like exams."

"But starting today, you're going to be cut off from that."

"Because the beings you're going to deal with are the very ones you used to pray for protection from."

"From now on, you are the 'accursed ones'! Nothing will protect you. Starting today, you must become masters of yourselves!"

"Alright, psychological guidance begins now!"

With that declaration, giving the students no time to prepare, Niu Jingyu's eyes widened, unleashing a terrifying aura that enveloped everyone.

In an instant, the air seemed to turn to liquid or even solid, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone's legs bent slightly, feeling as if they were carrying a mountain on their shoulders.

Their pupils dilated, and all they could feel was one thing: fear.

This fear seemed to have no source, no real-world trigger—it was a deep-seated terror from within their souls.

In that instant, they saw oceans, abyssal depths, and endless starry skies!

In the pitch-black ocean were vast, unfathomable creatures; the abyss yawned like a bottomless maw, devouring all life; in the starry sky above, countless crimson eyes seemed to gaze down at them!

A terror that came from the soul swallowed everyone whole, and each person could clearly hear their own rapid heartbeat.

Seeing the students' strained expressions, Niu Jingyu, expressionless, walked in a circle, continuing his lecture.

"The key ability for a superhuman isn't muscle strength, nor is it your supernatural powers; it's your inner self."

"As you are now, if you were to face a deity, you might be instantly bewitched."

"The kind of pressure that comes from deep within your soul can trigger a person's servility, making them want to kneel and worship."

"A superhuman must possess an invincible heart. Arrogance and pride are preferable to cowardice and weakness."

"But before a true deity, a high-ranking god, all beings are insignificant."

"This creates an unresolvable paradox—you must cultivate an invincible heart through constant failure!"

As he walked, Niu Jingyu's words suggested he didn't care about the students' well-being, but he carefully monitored each student's condition, watching for any changes.

Suddenly, a student grabbed his head, crouched down, and trembled like a helpless child, mumbling incoherently,

"I can't... I can't do it, no, I'm sorry..."

Niu Jingyu sighed, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, which quickly disappeared. He loudly mocked,

"The first one to fall is a boy? What a waste of manhood."

But no one had the capacity to see who had fallen. Everyone was too busy struggling.

Ryan suddenly roared, his body expanding to a height of 2.5 meters, his blood-red tiger eyes fixed on Niu Jingyu.

Niu Jingyu looked at him, nodding with slight satisfaction, but still had harsh words to say,

"Using your powers to resist? Not bad, but you're still just putting on a brave face."

At that moment, Niu Jingyu noticed someone, someone who was behaving unusually.

He... yawned!?

Did he see that right? Who is this guy?

Why hadn't he noticed him before?!

Liam's semi-divine body granted him some resistance to this kind of pressure, and having faced a deity up close, he obviously wasn't struggling as much as the others.

Furthermore, knowing he was one of the most unique beings in the world inherently gave him a strong sense of 'invincibility.'

To avoid drawing too much attention, Liam had been using his "stealth" ability, making Niu Jingyu overlook him.

But now, that sleepy yawn had left Niu Jingyu utterly dumbfounded.
