Under the night sky, one square formation after another began circling the sports field.

There were only eight formations here, meaning that ordinary students didn't need evening military training; those remaining were the eight Awakened classes.

The queue changed from horizontal rows to vertical columns, and Da Pang (Big Fatty) Liu Bufan, who was in front of Jiang Xiao, naturally stood to Jiang Xiao's left.

The relatively tight formation and the crackling sounds of footsteps gave Liu Bufan an opportunity.

The queue would definitely be rearranged tomorrow, and Jiang Xiao would try to cut in line. Tonight was a perfect chance.

After all, Jiang Xiao's height was what it was. At 172 centimeters, he should be able to move up a few spots.

He really didn't know what these kids ate to grow up so tall. He could understand the boys, at 185 or 190 centimeters, but what about those two girls at 184 and 188 centimeters?

Were they raised on deer milk powder?

And was that deer a giraffe?

While running, Liu Bufan whispered to Jiang Xiao beside him, "See the little beauty next to me? She's the class flower."

"Which one?" Jiang Xiao had an advantage in the back row because of his height. He glanced to the left and saw the side profile of a pretty girl to Liu Bufan's left.

The little thing was quite delicate.

Jiang Xiao glanced at her and turned his head away. After all, it wasn't polite to stare at a girl like that.

Since Jiang Xiao was standing at the very back, it was still easy to observe the beauties ahead.

Especially the one at the head of the line. She was actually a foreigner?

"Elena, half-Chinese, half-Russian, but her dad's genes weren't strong enough. You can't see much of her Eastern features," Liu Bufan explained considerately, clearly realizing where Jiang Xiao's attention was. "Don't let her fool you. She speaks Chinese more fluently than we do. She's been growing up in Hua Xia since she was little."

"That height is terrifying," Jiang Xiao said, withdrawing his gaze.

Liu Bufan laughed and said, "I say, friend, you've kept us waiting. All eight Awakened classes in the school have been eagerly waiting for you to come. Military training is almost over, and they all want to see who exactly is worthy of the Class 2 spot."

"I don't deserve such attention," Jiang Xiao sighed. "Maybe being handsome is just an advantage."

Liu Bufan paused. From Jiang Xiao's few words, Liu Bufan could tell that Jiang Xiao had a cheerful personality, liked to joke around, and seemed easy to get along with.

Therefore, Liu Bufan changed his strategy and said with a smile, "Hehe, you're absolutely right."

Something about that sentence sounded awkward.

"Brother, you have quite a few Star Slots, right? What Star Techniques do you have?" Liu Bufan asked with a smile.

Awakened people were different from normal students. They didn't need a long time to prove their potential, nor did they need to take any exams.

As long as the Star Map lit up, everything would be clear at a glance.

Among these eight Awakened classes, a very small number of children had obtained their first Star Technique by relying on the Star Beads distributed by the school upon enrollment.

The vast majority of children came to school with their own Star Techniques.

Moreover, there were quite a few children who came to school with 3 or 4 Star Techniques.

There were still plenty of rich people in Hua Xia. Spending some money to buy Star Beads from a merchant guild wasn't a difficult thing.

Of course, for an Awakened person, having 2-4 basic techniques in their Star Map was about right. After all, most people were ordinary, and allocating 4 slots to basic Star Techniques out of about 15 Star Slots was considered more than enough. The proportion was almost one-third.

In Bei Jiang, the most common and practical Star Beads were the White Ghoul Star Bead and the Lava Ghoul Star Bead. For beginners, these two types of Star Beads, one physical and one magical, were enough to increase their Star Power limit and replenish consumed Star Power.

As long as the family was even slightly wealthy, buying some White Ghoul Star Beads and Lava Ghoul Star Beads was relatively easy.

Therefore, most Awakened children came to school with Star Techniques. This wasn't a rare thing.

So, now the question was, if Jiang Xiao revealed his Star Techniques, he would stand out too much.

Jiang Xiao's problem wasn't the number of Star Techniques, but the quality of his Star Techniques.

What Star Techniques did the other children have? Generally, it was Green Glow, Endurance, Scorching Flame, and Explosive Flame.

And what were Jiang Xiao's Star Techniques?

Blessing? And Lure, which he didn't plan to reveal. Those were Star Techniques that were hard to buy on the market.

Green Glow? And Endurance, which he also didn't plan to reveal. These could be bought on the market, but Jiang Xiao's Green Glow was of Silver quality, not Bronze quality.

Finally, there was Bell, and Stamp, which he didn't plan to reveal. This was even harder to buy on the market. It was a genuine Silver-grade healing Star Technique.

None of his Star Techniques were normal!

Either they couldn't be bought on the market, or they could be bought on the market, but the quality wasn't right.

Seeing that Jiang Xiao wasn't speaking, Liu Bufan continued, "Brother, I have 19 Star Slots."

Jiang Xiao had a high opinion of Liu Bufan. From the way Liu Bufan had responded to the prickly classmate earlier, Jiang Xiao knew that this class representative was more mature than the average kid.

And listening to Liu Bufan's words now, they seemed like boasting, but they weren't.

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "I have fewer Star Slots than you, but I'm a healing-type Awakened, so that's why they recruited me into Class 2, right?"

Liu Bufan stopped in his tracks, leaning forward and almost falling.

"Liu Bufan! One more lap!" Lei Jin's loud voice came over.

"Yes!" Liu Bufan hurriedly caught up and said with a laugh, "You're really joking around."

"I'm not lying to you," Jiang Xiao replied. There were only 3 days left until the end of military training. If he wanted to represent the class in the competition, he had to reveal his identity.

Jiang Xiao couldn't loudly proclaim it everywhere. Letting Liu Bufan spread this information was a good choice.

"Really a healing-type Awakened?" Liu Bufan confirmed again.

Jiang Xiao: "Yes."

A look of joy appeared in Liu Bufan's eyes. "Then our classmates are in luck. We fight so much normally, bumps and bruises are nothing now."

"Our class doesn't have a healing-type Awakened?" Jiang Xiao asked in surprise.

Liu Bufan shrugged his shoulders. "No."

"What about the other seven classes?"

Liu Bufan answered decisively, "No either."

Ah???

Eight classes? 192 Awakened people, and not a single healer?

Didn't Han Jiangxue say that one out of every 100 Awakened people would be a healer?

What happened to one in a hundred?

This was almost one in two hundred.

Jiang Xiao knew that healing-type Awakeners were precious, but they shouldn't be this precious, right?

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but guess, "There should be some, but they haven't shown their potential yet. After all, healing-type Star Beads are too rare."

"Yeah, that makes sense," Liu Bufan nodded.

The two chatted while running with the group, did some stretching exercises, and learned a few grappling techniques under Lei Jin's guidance, and then reviewed the free combat moves they had learned.

The group finally disbanded at 9 o'clock.

With the help of the enthusiastic classmate Liu Bufan, Jiang Xiao found the supermarket, bought some daily necessities, sheets, and bedding. The school dorms provided them, which saved some trouble.

The two exchanged contact information, and Jiang Xiao finally walked into Dormitory Building 6.

What Jiang Xiao found puzzling was, why were the other students in Dormitory Building 1? And he was in Building 6?

Could it be that the dark-skinned Director Gao had assigned him to the wrong place?

The dormitory building was empty. There were only a few students on the first floor. He didn't know what grade they were in. He guessed that the majority had already been assigned their beds.

Was Jiang Xiao going to have to share a room with someone else?

Too bad, it wasn't a co-ed dorm.

Hmm...

Carrying his daily necessities, Jiang Xiao walked towards the leftmost dormitory door on the first floor under the scrutinizing gaze of the dormitory auntie.

Why was there an auntie watching the door?

He couldn't understand it, couldn't understand it.

Holding the key, Jiang Xiao opened the door. A sentence echoed in his mind: This patch of fish... This dormitory, I've claimed it!

Bed above, desk below, a total of six beds.

Although it was a six-person dorm, it was a single room.

No one lived here?

Jiang Xiao happily chose a bed on the inner side by the window, looked out the window, and just happened to see a couple kissing by the roadside.

Spoilsport.

Jiang Xiao turned his head straight back. Underneath the bed was a desk, and to the right was a small wardrobe. Jiang Xiao took out the bedding from inside, looked left and right, and stuffed it back in.

He'd sleep on the wooden board for now. He'd wash the bedding tomorrow.

Star Power infused, body super strong.

He'd slept in the snowy forest, what couldn't he sleep on a wooden board?

A light of Blessing fell, warming his entire body...

The next day, when it was barely dawn, Jiang Xiao got up.

It was time to see Jiangbin Number 1 Middle School at four in the morning!

To see which demons and monsters were as disciplined and hardworking as he was.

What Jiang Xiao didn't expect was that he really did wait for four demons and monsters...
