Chapter 29 Astonishing Reaction Speed

The classrooms of the third-year high school students were all designated as examination halls.

After leaving the examination hall, Qin Tian was not allowed to return directly to his classroom.

So, he went to the supermarket, bought a bottle of water and an ice cream, and ate the ice cream as he headed to the basketball court.

On the basketball court, two classes were having physical education, and several boys were playing a friendly match.

Many girls were watching from the sidelines, cheering for the boys from their own classes.

The boys from the two classes were as if injected with chicken blood, exerting their best efforts to showcase their flashy basketball skills.

Qin Tian sat under the shade of a tree by the court with a smile. He placed the water bottle beside him, ate his ice cream, and watched the younger students play basketball with keen interest.

"Pass the ball, pass the ball."

"Damn it, He Qiang, do you even know how to play basketball? Where's your defense!"

"Get lost. I don't know how, do you? If you're so good, why don't you defend him!"

"Can you two stop arguing?"

"Go, go, boys, don't fight!"

...

Looking at the vibrant basketball court filled with youthful energy, Qin Tian's mood also lifted, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

His external appearance was already quite good.

He was over 1.8 meters tall. His looks weren't astonishingly handsome, but he was definitely refined and comely.

Coupled with the enhancement from the system's physique-boosting potions and the self-assurance and calm demeanor he possessed after his rebirth, his presence gradually began to stand out among his peers.

On the sports field, a beautiful junior student was captivated by his smile at that moment. She nudged her best friend with her elbow.

"Look quickly, there's a handsome guy over there."

"Where, where? Wow, he is quite handsome. When did our school have such a handsome guy!"

"He must be a senior from the third year. He looks so mature!"

"Now that you mention it, he really does. He's much more pleasing to the eye than these childish guys who are arguing while playing."

"Hehe... Do you want to go get acquainted?"

"What? Are you smitten?"

"Oh, don't say it so bluntly!"

"Aren't the third-year students taking exams? Why is he out so early? He's not a slacker, is he? You better think carefully!"

"Academic performance doesn't represent everything. Let's go, come with me."

Thus, the two girls shyly approached Qin Tian.

Neither of them dared to speak up, and they nudged each other with blushing faces.

"Is there something you need?"

Qin Tian had already noticed them. He looked at the two girls with a mixture of amusement and helplessness and asked.

"Handsome guy, you're from the third year, right?"

The short-haired girl asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, it's just..."

The short-haired girl paused, then suddenly pointed at her friend beside her and said with a smile, "She thinks you're very handsome and wants to get acquainted."

"Ah—"

The good-looking girl immediately blushed and let out a scream, grabbing her fists and playfully hitting the short-haired girl.

The short-haired girl blocked with her arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm helping you, why are you hitting me?"

"Who told you to talk nonsense?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, stop hitting me, the senior is watching!"

Qin Tian watched the two of them laughing and playing, unable to contain his amusement. He felt quite emotional.

He never expected that he, who had lived an ordinary half-life in his previous life, would have a day when a girl would actively express her interest in him.

"My name is Qin Tian, from Class 10 of the third year. It's fine to get acquainted, but I should say first that I already like someone."

Qin Tian introduced himself with a polite smile, directly extinguishing any thoughts the junior student might have had.

In his past life and this one, he was destined never to be a scumbag.

Before, he didn't have the ability.

Now that he had lived again, he had the ability, but his personality wouldn't allow him to act that way.

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on the good-looking girl's face.

"Alas! What a pity."

The short-haired girl sighed and patted her friend's shoulder to comfort her.

"It's no problem to get acquainted and be friends."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Okay, senior. My name is Zhao Zi, and this is Bai Weiwei. We're both from Class 3 of the second year."

The short-haired girl, with her outgoing personality, didn't mind the dirt and directly sat down on the steps next to him.

Bai Weiwei was a bit more particular about cleanliness. She took out a tissue, spread it out, and sat down.

The three of them sat on the steps, chatting and laughing.

The two girls first asked about the exams. When they learned that Qin Tian had finished early and left, they were both full of admiration.

As for the truth of Qin Tian's statement, neither of them doubted it.

Such a handsome and gentle senior couldn't possibly lie.

Then, they chatted about the pressure of studying in the third year.

Qin Tian, as a senior and someone who had been through it, offered them some of his advice and thoughts.

The three of them chatted happily. Zhao Zi occasionally burst into cheerful laughter, which soon attracted the attention of their classmates.

The girls started to gossip, and many of them also thought Qin Tian was very handsome.

The boys, however, looked displeased and felt a pang of envy.

Zhao Zi and Bai Weiwei were both considered pretty in their class and were quite popular among the boys.

Now that the two girls were sitting and chatting with a boy whose origin was unknown, how could they be happy?

The boys playing on the court had also stopped at some point.

Several boys from Class 3 of the second year cast teasing glances at He Qiang, who was tall and sturdy.

Everyone in the class knew that He Qiang liked Zhao Zi.

"Hey, don't you like Zhao Zi? Can you stand this?"

The boy who had just complained about He Qiang's lack of basketball skills taunted him with a smile.

"Get lost, you motherfucker!"

He Qiang roared angrily at the boy.

"You—"

The boy flew into a rage and was about to curse.

But upon seeing He Qiang's ferocious expression, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Then, to everyone's shocked gaze, He Qiang suddenly hurled the basketball in his hand fiercely towards the boy over there.

"Careful!"

Some girls exclaimed loudly, issuing a warning.

For the past few days, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan had been taking physique-boosting potions mixed with vegetable juice.

Although the potency of the medicine was clearly weakening, Qin Tian's four basic attributes—strength, constitution, and agility—had all exceeded eighty points, and his intelligence had surpassed seventy points.

In terms of physical fitness and reaction speed, he had even surpassed most professional athletes.

The moment he heard the girls' exclamation, he sensed danger. Looking at the basketball flying towards him, his pupils constricted sharply.

No one could clearly see his movements.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the powerful basketball was caught by his right hand.

The basketball was firmly held in his broad, long palm, obscuring his entire face.

"Holy crap, that's possible?"

Some boys exclaimed in astonishment.

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

The boys who often played basketball and knew how exaggerated this move was had disbelief written all over their faces.

The girls' eyes sparkled, clearly captivated by his handsomeness.

He Qiang, the instigator, also had his eyes wide open, his face wearing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"He Qiang!!!"

After recovering from her shock, Zhao Zi stood up and roared at He Qiang, "What are you doing?"
