Chapter 59: Secrecy, Second Wave (Part 3)
"I heard Lu Shu stopped selling eggs in the morning, did she turn to selling rotten tofu?"
"From what I've heard .. It looks so good …"
In the afternoon class, Lu Shu started browsing through the online forums. He topped the class for his previous assessment exam and the contents of this semester were trivial to him.
The truth is that 3 years of high school can be completed within a year and there are many cases of underperforming students with almost zero understanding of content that can suddenly be done well.
Many times, the content feels difficult when studying but after graduating and looking back, it seems easy.
Lu Shu suddenly realized Jiang Shuyi was studying physics and curiously asked, "Why study physics? Aren't you an art student?"
"It may be useful in the future," Jiang Shuyi replied, "In the past, I felt physics was useless and chose art, but after the emergence of metahumans, having knowledge of physics would be beneficial."
It was very reasonable and after hearing Jiang Shuyi's gaze, Lu Shu felt that he was a forward-thinking student. Lu Shu asked, "Let me see your chemistry textbook."
Because the black coat relies on science and technology to research and produce weapons for metahumans, this means physics and chemistry must be beneficial. Even if he would not do intensive research, having more knowledge would not do him any harm.
Lu Shu had never been stubborn about such things. As long as it was something useful, he would always obtain it.
At least .. . next time he won't crack an unintelligent joke like how sodium is a mysterious path to greatness. . .
In the afternoon, there was another huge commotion.The other 23 students had been expelled from Daoyuan's class for violating the secret rules but fortunately, none were from Sophomore's 2nd grade.
Everyone thought that the crisis of expulsion had ended after the first and no one expected for the second wave of 'cleansing'.
These strict consequences left everyone speechless. No one knows what to say or what not to say.
After the last wave of expulsions, many parents of expelled students tried to pull the strings, either by bribery or threatening means.
But what they realized was that they could not contact anyone influential in the matter.
The black coat was more secretive than any official or sector of government and things were also not in their control. They only listen to their immediate superiors.
They were cautious about the thoughts of the students who entered the Daoyuan class through the withdrawal of the rope and this was only possible through their superiors.
Role of local officials? Not insignificant
Because of this, many understand the – rule after it is issued, there will be no one to return it!
Every relationship in the past is no longer useful. In fact, the black coat was neither stubborn nor refused to acknowledge this relationship, but the degree of influence was not enough.
Parents at home will constantly remind their children to be careful because there is no way back after being expelled.
The gravity of the situation had changed for the worse with the second wave of expulsion. However, the current case of conscious students was rare and in Luo Cheng's entire international school, there was only one such incident.
Lu Shu thought, what is the possibility that there is someone inside the Black Coat who can use his mind to spy on an entire country like Professor X? That would be a waste of talent! Could the black coat be using some kind of technology to track everyone's computers? He can't be sure.
With a new era of metahumans comes happiness and sadness. . .
In the evening, the twilight of the sunset painted Luo Cheng's international school with a soft orange light and clouds slowly soared into the endless sky. The light shone on the small spaces of the building, giving it a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
Even Daoyuan grade students are required to leave the school grounds first before showing their night pass cards and after a series of rigorous checks then they will be allowed back.
Today, Xi Fei did not teach anything important, just a regular lecture about 'Kardness of the three' and some already known updates about the world – people changed, he said, the environment is changing and so are animals and plants.
Lu Shu had already read about this in the forums but it was mostly about changes in animals and plants. As for the changes to the environment, no one really saw anything concrete other than the fact that some districts had been closed.
As the lesson ended, Xi Fei looked at everyone sitting on the mat and calmly said, "I believe that everyone has learned from the last 2 expulsions that the Daoyuan class is a very serious matter and we will definitely not appease anyone who might harm the country. I hope no one else will make the same mistake. I also understand that there are people in this society who want to benefit from metahumans, but I advise against doing so. Please do not waste your talent.and so on, the consequences will not be as simple as expulsion. "
These words summarize 3 main points – confidentiality, no easy rewards and breaking the rules will not be left alone.
The second point – black coat knows that there are people trying to recruit metahumans and it is okay to earn money. But since the students were a valuable talent to them, they did not want them to overdo it.
This is a difference in foreign and local methods. In other countries, they have maximized the commercial value of metahumans while locally, metahumans are treated as talents to cultivate. What exactly do you mean by talent? Basically, they are important talents needed to build a good foundation for the country!
Lu Shu nodded. It seems that the government is trying to gather all metahumans for two reasons – stability and prosperity of the country as a whole.
It would be best to go with the flow while experimenting on your own.
Hypothetically, one could rebel and say, "I don't want to be part of the 'talent' anymore and I'll do my own things so leave me alone!"
This would be a crazy thing to do because, given the situation, the black coat has the power to override anything.
The future is still uncertain, but this is what happened until now.
But Lu Shu still had the same thought. . . What tragedy would befall the world if a group of metahumans capable of resisting modern authority and weapons had arisen?
Lu Shu has a plan. If such a situation arose, he would take Lu Xiaoyu and flee.
Third point of Xi Fei's words – 'From next week onwards, the consequences will not be as simple as expulsion'. This sentence has a hidden meaning. . . Daoyuan class will finally give you the real deal!
To be honest, Lu Shu only cared about the training method that the black coat spoke of.
Wait .. Actually, even the training method is not as interesting anymore.
Previously, his interest in training methods was due to Lu Xiaoyu not having the ability but not anymore.
Lu Shu no longer cared about others as long as he and Lu Xiaoyu had the power to resist authority and modern weapons and this meant they could do anything they wanted.
