After entering the school, Zhao Hao and Yukinoshita Yukino parted ways. Zhao Hao had moved up to the third year from the second year, currently in Class 1 of the third year. There were over thirty students in the class, with seven classes in total.
“It's Zhao Hao, the guy whose class attendance in the past two years barely adds up to half a year. But even so, his grades still leave us in the dust, topping the charts.”
“Yeah, I don't know why this guy is so outstanding. And there's another genius in our class, Toha Tsukasa. Having these two prodigies in our class is truly our misfortune.”
“Being the two male gods of our school, Toha Tsukasa already has a girlfriend. I wonder who Zhao Hao will end up with.”
“You’re still worrying about him? He wants a girlfriend, he can get one with a snap of his fingers!”
The people in the class started discussing Zhao Hao as soon as they saw him. After all, they were students, and with the new semester just starting, they had nothing better to do than gossip.
“Did you guys see yesterday's news? The washed-up actor, Tsuruno Takeshi, went on a trip with a few bodyguards and then disappeared. After investigation, a report was issued, stating that he had died, but the body was never found.”
“I saw that news too. It's the most trending news right now. I don't know what's going on, but in recent years, people have been disappearing and reported missing all the time, and most of the time the bodies can't be found. They're all murdered in the wilderness, it’s really making people anxious.”
Then, someone started gossiping about the news from yesterday, which sparked a lot of discussion.
Tsuruno Takeshi, a washed-up actor, had a bad reputation due to his own actions. Unexpectedly, yesterday it was revealed that he had died, and his body was nowhere to be found.
Zhao Hao sat in his seat listening to their conversations.
As expected, those missing individuals whose bodies were never found were likely killed by Kaiju.
As for why it wasn't reported, that was the work of the mysterious official organization in the Nexus world.
He wondered how long they could keep it hidden. After all, this world was different from the one he had watched. Space rifts would appear and monsters from other worlds would come to this one. It was possible that next time, they would appear directly in the city.
As more and more students came into the classroom, it was almost full.
“Look, Toha Tsukasa. Like Zhao Hao, he's one of the two strongest in school. His grades and athletic abilities are unmatched.”
“Sakurajima Mai, she’s so beautiful. A true starlet turned beauty. She just has a bit of a cold personality and doesn't like interacting with people.”
After a long holiday, everyone was catching up and chatting. After ten minutes, a woman with waist-length pink hair walked into the classroom. She was tall and slender, with long legs, a student’s miniskirt, and black stockings underneath.
“Class, settle down.”
The woman stood at the front of the podium and looked at the thirty or so students below. She was their homeroom teacher, Kiryu-su Madoka, only in her mid-twenties, arguably the youngest and most beautiful teacher in the school.
Hearing the beautiful teacher speak, everyone quieted down. After all, she was their homeroom teacher, and students instinctively had respect for their teachers.
“Class, it's the start of the new semester. It's the same as before. We'll have an opening ceremony. Also, the vice-president and a few other student council members have graduated, so we need to choose new officers. Anyone who is confident can sign up to participate in the selection process.”
After announcing these two things, Kiryu-su Madoka told the students to leave the classroom in an orderly manner and head to the auditorium. It was a place where the school would hold opening ceremonies for all the students, meetings for the entire school, or events held by the school. The place was big enough for all the students to sit.
“Zhao Hao, wait a moment.”
Originally, Zhao Hao was getting up, thinking of where he could slack off, when Kiryu-su Madoka stopped him.
“What is it?”
Zhao Hao looked at Kiryu-su Madoka. He didn't have much interaction with this homeroom teacher. She was transferred to their class in their second year, because their homeroom teacher retired. This woman took over.
In the past, whenever he spoke to her, it was basically for asking for leave. Kiryu-su Madoka couldn’t understand why he would take so many days off even though he got such good grades. She even tried to persuade him, but after she learned that Zhao Hao’s grades hadn’t dropped, she didn’t say anything more.
Kiryu-su Madoka didn't mind Zhao Hao's somewhat cold and distant attitude. She spoke up, "The school would like you, who has always been at the top of the class, to give a speech to inspire the new students. Here's the speech, take a look.”
Every year, there would be speeches from the student council president, the principal, and a student with excellent academic performance.
This year, it was Zhao Hao's turn, or rather, he should have represented the students in his first year. But he never came on the first day of either his first or second year. This was the first time he had been "on time" on the first day of his third year.
The draft could have been given to another student, since Zhao Hao wasn't there. As for Toha Tsukasa, he had already given a speech, on that first day of Zhao Hao's first year when he was absent.
“Inspiration? Sorry, I don't have the time for that kind of pointless speech.”
Zhao Hao immediately rejected it. He wasn’t interested in doing something so boring. It was simply a waste of time for him.
“Hey, you kid!”
Kiryu-su Madoka watched as Zhao Hao rejected her and left directly, her face showing a mix of emotions. Good grief, are you the student or am I the teacher? You actually gave me the cold shoulder and rejected me. You’re so arrogant!
Although she had only been a teacher for two or three years, she was a teacher after all. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that.
After leaving the classroom, Zhao Hao didn’t go to the opening ceremony. Instead, he went to the rooftop to slack off.
The opening ceremony was boring beyond belief, it wouldn’t be over in less than an hour.
On the rooftop, there were two benches, each could seat three people, placed specifically by the school for those who liked to eat on the rooftop at noon.
Zhao Hao stood at the railing, looking out at the distance. A gentle breeze blew past him, ruffling the bangs on his forehead.
“咚咚，咚咚…”
The Evolution Trust in Zhao Hao’s inner pocket vibrated. He pulled it out. It was emitting a flashing light. Zhao Hao glanced at it and then left immediately.
In a dimly lit factory, there was a Kaiju about eight meters tall. It resembled a fly, covered in fluffy white hair. It was holding two workers in its hands, eating them.
“Ahhhhh! Help, help!”
The Kaiju grabbed the person on its right hand and threw it into its mouth, chewing it up.
The person in the Kaiju’s left hand was terrified, his fear was making him speechless. And this fear was the Kaiju’s best food.
In the end, the person was swallowed with a scream. After finishing the meal, the Kaiju wiped its teeth. Two people weren't enough, it would find a new location and continue.
Just as the Kaiju turned to leave, a figure suddenly appeared behind it. The Kaiju noticed someone behind it and quickly turned around. This was truly its food delivery coming right to it.
“Just a small Kaiju.”
In Zhao Hao’s eyes, even at eight meters tall, it was still considered small. In his eyes, only enemies of about 50 meters tall were considered large Kaiju.
Zhao Hao pulled out the Energy Burst Gun from his waist. This gun fired shockwaves that were sufficient for this level of Kaiju. It was even more powerful than the Night Raid team’s high-tech gun.
