Zhao Yibing’s eyes twitched slightly.

    It seemed that everyone was on her side.

    But—

    This was completely wrong!

    She had intended to publicly break up with Shen Ye, but now the situation had been completely turned around by Shen Ye.

    —Now he was publicly breaking up with her!

    I’m not his sycophant, why would this happen!

    “Shen Ye, we haven’t made things clear yet!” Zhao Yibing said anxiously.

    “You stop right there!” a male voice rang out simultaneously.

    On the stairs, a boy blocked Shen Ye.

    “Who are you?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Sun Ming,” the boy said.

    Oh, the third-ranked student in the grade.

    “Student Sun, class is about to start, don’t block the way,” Shen Ye said.

    “You apologize to Zhao Yibing first.” The boy folded his arms, looking down at Shen Ye condescendingly.

    “Apologize?” Shen Ye looked at him, then at the aggrieved Zhao Yibing.

    “Student Sun, don’t get this wrong, Zhao Yibing called me here, I wasn’t pestering her.”

    Shen Ye spread his hands.

    “Apologize!” Sun Ming roared, punching the wall with a resounding “thud.”

    Shen Ye was startled.

    Hoh, an otherworldly version of a hotheaded kid?

    He had no choice but to turn around, walk up to Zhao Yibing, and say in a soft voice:

    “Alright, you win…”

    He seemed to have made up his mind, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

    “Zhao Yibing, you can continue to harass me, are you satisfied now?”

    “?” Zhao Yibing.

    “?” Sun Ming.

    Shen Ye ran up the stairs with a wronged expression.

    Zhao Yibing could no longer hold back and loudly said, “Wait—I didn’t force you—don’t listen to Sun Ming!”

    Ah, I must have lost my mind!

    Why would I say something like “I didn’t force you”?

    Sun Ming really messed things up!

    With that thought, Zhao Yibing glared fiercely at Sun Ming.

    Sun Ming was also anxious.

    He had clearly come to support Zhao Yibing and, by the way, to step on that guy who couldn’t get into a key high school.

    How did it turn out like this?

    No.

    He needed to fix this immediately!

    Just then, Shen Ye brushed past him.

    “Kid, don’t go, stop and explain yourself!”

    He swung a fist at Shen Ye.

    Shen Ye chuckled softly, completely unconcerned.

    As the former top student in his grade, Shen Ye’s strongest attribute was Agility.

    His Agility was 2 points.

    —Twice that of an average adult male.

    Now, if he added his only attribute point, his Agility would be 3 points.

    This already surpassed the level of a middle school student.

    Coupled with the combat experience from last night, dodging a gun using “Moonlit Deer Stride”—

    In full view of everyone.

    Shen Ye suddenly dodged the opponent’s fist, lightly leaped up, pressed down on the opponent’s head, and used the momentum to slide towards the wall, stepping several times on the wall in quick succession, like a fleeting glimpse of a bird, he flew over the crowded people and landed on the corridor.

    The onlookers collectively gasped in exclamations of “Wow,” “Ah,” and “Huh?”

    His movements were too fluid and natural, like walking on flat ground while traversing walls, coupled with the innate elegance of an elf.

    It was unforgettable.

    Even Zhao Yibing was stunned.

    Sun Ming had been pushed on the head in public, couldn’t even react, and he still wanted to fight him?

    Ridiculous!

    Such footwork should get full marks.

    Everyone thought silently.

    Shen Ye, however, couldn’t be bothered with these people anymore and went straight back to the classroom to do his exercises.

    Ding-a-ling—

    The class bell rang.

    A female teacher walked up the stairs, holding a teacup and papers, and suddenly found the stairwell completely blocked, she couldn’t help but exclaim:

    “What are you all doing gathered here? Don’t you know class is about to start?”

    The students scattered, quickly returning to their respective classrooms.

    A few minutes later.

    Junior High (5) class.

    A short, plump old man walked into the classroom holding a stack of papers and announced directly:

    “Class test for thirty minutes, then go to the field for a mock exam.”

    The papers were quickly distributed.

    Shen Ye had long since put the previous incident out of his mind, picked up his pen, and began to read the questions.

    The papers contained some very simple questions, such as:

    Please choose the best movement technique from the following options to increase movement speed.

    What is the main function of the agility attribute in combat?

    What is the most effective basic exercise for footwork? Why?

    There weren’t many knowledge points in the written test, accounting for 30% of the total score.

    The remaining 70% were in the live test.

    Shen Ye picked up his pen and started answering.

    Many knowledge points gradually came back to him as he worked through the questions.

    Shen Ye nodded slightly.

    —It seems that before the exam, he would need to frantically practice questions.

    Time passed slowly.

    After handing in their papers, the whole class assembled to go to the sports field for a mock test.

    “Brother Ye.”

    Chen Haoyu walked at the back of the line, quietly pulling Shen Ye’s sleeve.

    “What?” Shen Ye asked.

    “The test is very slow, and we won’t be called for a while anyway, how about we go for a stroll first and come back later?” Chen Haoyu said.

    “Where are we going for a stroll?” Shen Ye smiled.

    “A comic book cafe opened behind the school, and there are many new anime episodes we haven’t watched yet, let’s climb over the wall,” Chen Haoyu said.

    This reminded Shen Ye.

    While everyone was warming up on the sports field, waiting for the test, he could complete today’s evaluation entry first.

    “You go, I don’t feel like going today,” Shen Ye said.

    Chen Haoyu showed dissatisfaction.

    Shen Ye found it a little amusing and asked, “What are you planning?”

    Chen Haoyu looked in a certain direction, pursed his lips, and whispered, “I didn’t want you to see it, afraid it would spoil your mood.”

    Shen Ye followed his gaze and saw that students from Junior High (2) and (3) classes had also arrived at the sports field.

    In the (2) class line, a beautiful girl was chatting with several other girls.

    Just then, a boy from (3) class came to find her, and she started laughing and talking with the boy.

    Zhao Yibing.

    Mr. Hothead—no, Sun Ming.

    Shen Ye understood Chen Haoyu’s concern.

    —But he simply had no mind for such trivial matters.

    “You should know, I actually don’t like her.”

    Shen Ye whispered.

    Chen Haoyu said, “Really?”

    “Of course, really,” Shen Ye said.

    “Hmph, before, she used to come to find you every day, but after you missed your exam, she never came to our class again,” Chen Haoyu said.

    “We’ve cleared things up, she won’t bother me anymore,” Shen Ye said seriously.

    Bothering you…

    It sounds like there’s nothing wrong with that, but also like there’s something not quite right.

    In any case, Shen Ye had handled the matter.

    “Alright, that’s good too.”

    Chen Haoyu said.

    Shen Ye looked at the line and silently calculated the time.

    It would take a long time for one person to warm up, prepare, wait to go on stage, and wait for the teacher to say “start” before taking the test.

    He and Chen Haoyu were tall, so they would be tested last.

    That would be almost noon.

    On the sports field, others were warming up, or silently performing test movements.

    He didn’t need to waste time here.

    “Haoyu—you stand in line for me here, I have a stomachache, I’ll just go to the bathroom and be right back.”

    He said to Chen Haoyu.

    “Okay, I’ll stand in line for you,” Chen Haoyu said.

    “If I don’t come back, just say I’m not feeling well and went back to rest,” Shen Ye said.

    “Okay.”

    Shen Ye nodded, turned around, and walked out of the sports field.

    There were security cameras everywhere on campus.

    But not in classrooms or restrooms.

    Restrooms… someone might go there…

    I remember the empty classrooms on the top floor, maybe I should go there.

    Shen Ye quickly went to the top floor, pushed open the door of an empty classroom, and walked to the innermost corner.

    “Door.”

    He silently chanted in his mind.

    On the wall, a classroom door quietly appeared.

    Quite appropriately, the parchment nailed to the door had also turned into an exercise book.

    Shen Ye looked through the window into the door.

    The big skeleton wasn’t there?

    Good opportunity.

    Shen Ye casually pulled out the Crown of Pale Shadow and put it on his face, immediately transforming into a handsome male elf.

    He then pinned the Silver War Medal to his chest before entering the Gate of Nightmares.

    Click.

    The door closed behind him.

    A chilling wind blew through the corridor, making one’s bones shiver.

    At this moment, Shen Ye had two choices—

    One, go and see if the door at the end of the corridor was locked or open;

    Two, use the Silver War Medal to teleport directly to the elven territory.

    …Only children make multiple-choice questions.

    To improve his evaluation, Shen Ye first walked through the corridor and reached out to press the lock on the door.

    It remained unmoving.

    With the door locked, other monsters couldn’t enter here.

    What on earth was this big skeleton up to?

    Did it want to monopolize him?

    After all, he represented resources from another world.

    Shen Ye also didn’t kick the door open.

    After all, he and the big skeleton were only in an equal exchange relationship, and if it wanted to eat him, this relationship couldn’t restrain it.

    Shen Ye was about to teleport away when he suddenly noticed something in the corner.

    He squatted down and pulled out his phone to shine a light on it.

    He saw a black revolver lying quietly there.

    A gun?

    He remembered, this should be the assassin’s gun!

    Shen Ye picked up the pistol and saw that there were still a few bullets left.

    Good stuff!

    The big skeleton might not care for it, but for him, it was a treasure.

    To have a harvest right after entering, it was a great start!

    Putting the gun away, Shen Ye stood up contentedly and reached out to press the Silver War Medal.

    The medal slowly emitted a pure white light.

    The surrounding space began to warp.

    Teleportation began!

    A dizzying sensation.

    The solid feel of the ground beneath his feet.

    Immediately after, a cold, hard object was placed in his hand.

    “I truly cannot do more for you. Please take this; it is a token of humanity!”

    A voice spoke in his ear.

    Blue sky and white clouds all around.

    Lush green forest.

    A stream, wildflowers, and leisurely strolling sika deer.

    Shen Ye stood by the stream, looking around, but saw no one, nor did he find out who had put the object in his hand.

    But that voice sounded so familiar.

    It seemed—

    When he awakened the “door” ability, it was this voice that told him about the “cursed sculpture of the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Evil Spirits.”

    Was it helping him?

    Shen Ye lowered his head to look.

    He saw that he was holding a black short sword.

    The blade was dull, and the hilt was carved with two conjoined heads, one human and one stag.

    A faint glow jumped from the blade, manifesting as glowing small characters in the void:

    “Nightglow.”

    “Human scout exclusive short sword.”

    “White grade.”

    “Attribute: Sharpness (Beginner).”

    “This is a short sword used for assassination, and it has also been blessed by humanity with ‘Silent Purity’.”

    “Silent Purity: Only human scouts whose souls have not fallen can wield this sword.”

    “—He who carries this sword is trustworthy to humanity and can specialize in intelligence transmission.”

    A token of humanity.

    Strange.

    Where did that entity get such a short sword?

    Why did it give it to him?

    Suddenly, a sound of running came from the woods.

    Shen Ye immediately hid the short sword in his embrace, then took up an advantageous position and waited quietly.

    The next moment.

    Three elves appeared before his eyes.

    “Ferren?”

    One elf called out.

    “Hmph, you finally arrived—you’re quite slow,” the second elf complained.

    “If you didn’t, we would have declared the mission a failure and reported it,” the third elf said.

    Who?

    What?

    Shen Ye didn’t understand for a moment, but he immediately said, “There was a slight mishap, so I was a little late.”

    “Alright, anyway, you’re finally here.”

    The lead elf whispered, “We have already gained the trust of this elf tribe. They believe we are brave soldiers who retired from the battlefield due to injuries.”

    “Let’s move tonight. Kill their chief, and seize their treasure—”

    “Ferren, are you ready?”

    Shen Ye glanced at the chests of the three elves and indeed found that they all wore Silver War Medals.

    Were they all elf soldiers who had performed great deeds?

    Shen Ye nodded, “My hand is already itching.”

    The three elves looked satisfied when he said this.

    Shen Ye suddenly reached out and touched his face.

    “Don’t move around!” the three elves cried out simultaneously.

    Now he understood.

    “Don’t worry, I was just adjusting my position, it was a bit uncomfortable earlier,” Shen Ye said.

    These three guys had the same medal as him, the same Crown of Pale Shadow.

    They were all undead!

    —What the hell!

    Damn big skeleton, you’re the Ferren they’re talking about, aren’t you?

    It’s clearly your mission, and you just dump it on me like this?

    Shen Ye recalled the big skeleton crawling in the corridor and suddenly had a thought.

    This fellow was injured and couldn’t participate in battle at all, which is why it resorted to such a desperate measure.

    The leading “elf” glared at Shen Ye and said:

    “When we enter the elven village later, you better be careful with me, otherwise, if you are seen through, the elves will kill you directly.”

    “Don’t worry, I, Ferren, will never make a mistake,” Shen Ye said.

    “That’s best.”
