Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr In the mirror, a little boy was wearing the legendary Special Class-A military-style uniform. It was a flamboyant red, tailored to fit the body. The shiny leather boots on his feet were almost reflective, and there was a metal buckle belt around his waist. This added a bit of heroic spirit to the already handsome little boy, causing the hearts of the women around him to ripple with maternal love.
Lan Luofeng cupped her face in her hands, her expression dreamy. "Lan Lan, you look so much like your father. Unparalleled in handsomeness."
Ling Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Praise was one thing, but why did she have to bring her dad into the mix? Could it be that she was praising her on the surface, but was actually thinking of her dad?
Thinking of Lan Luofeng's countless criminal records, Ling Lan was very sure that her mother was being love-struck again. She would definitely ignore that woman, so she said directly to Ling Nanyi, "Housekeeper Granny, I'll leave mum to you."
Ling Nanyi was the housekeeper Ling Qin's wife. This time, when they moved into the scout academy, Lan Luofeng and Ling Lan had brought Ling Nanyi along, giving her full authority over all matters in the villa. Meanwhile, Ling Nanyi had carefully selected a female servant who had no problems and was absolutely loyal to the Ling family to be in charge of the villa's cleaning and hygiene.
Ling Nanyi smiled and said, "Young Master Lan, please don't worry."
Only then did Ling Lan wave her hand and say goodbye to them. She walked to the front door of the villa and opened it. On the other side, Lan Luofeng had finally snapped out of her love-struck state. "Ling Lan, what do you take your mum for, you unfilial child!" Lan Luofeng roared behind her. She had just realised the meaning behind Ling Lan's words, and was furious.
Ling Lan turned back and smiled. "Congratulations, mum. You're not that stupid after all." That said, she dashed out.
"Bam!" The sound of something hitting the front door rang out, and then Lan Luofeng's lioness roar rang out again. "Ling Lan, just you wait. I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Ling Lan walked out of the villa with a smile on her face. Her mother was just joking. When she came back, she would definitely hug her passionately and kiss her non-stop. She would not stop until her face was swollen. At one point, Ling Lan suspected that this bad habit of hers had been picked up from her biological father... Unfortunately, there was no reference to prove the truth.
Ling Lan slowly walked to the main road of the villa complex. It was early in the morning, and there were already many children and youths wearing red uniforms on the road. They were of different ages, but they were all heading in the same direction, to the Scout Academy's teaching area.
It turned out that the large villa complex Ling Lan was staying in was for the Special Class-A students of the Central Scout Academy. From Grades 1 to 10, they were all here.
However, very few of these students were walking like Ling Lan. They were flying freely on the main road, wearing shoes that shot air backward.
These shoes were called flywheels, and were very similar to the roller skates from Ling Lan's previous life. The shoes had wheels under them, some with dual wheels, and some with single wheels. However, flywheels were more advanced than roller skates. They had miniature actuators on both sides of the shoes, and on the heel. These actuators could use the power of an energy storage unit to propel the wheels. At a certain speed, the shoes could even fly with the person strapped on them. Of course, the highest altitude they could fly at was only about 2.5 metres.
Ling Lan was a little confused. The school rules forbade students from using external forces to fly around the school grounds. How could these special class students be so brazen?
"We can confirm that these students are all Grade 2 and above," said Little Four, jumping out.
"Find out why they can use flywheels," said Ling Lan. She did not believe that Special Class-A students could really be so free. There had to be some reason behind it.
"Got it. Turns out they used battle points to exchange for flywheels. That's why they can fly freely around the school." Little Four was very helpful. Hooking up to some random wireless signal, he logged onto the school's intranet and found the answer Ling Lan needed.
"The flywheels they exchanged for were specially custom-made by the Central Scout Academy. They have the Central Scout Academy's identification code, which is why they can fly freely within the school grounds. Other flywheels are forbidden. If discovered, points will be deducted, and the student will be demoted by one class," added Little Four before Ling Lan could ask any more questions.
That's more like it! At first, Ling Lan had been wondering how the school should differentiate between those who had redeemed their hoverboards and those who had brought them in from outside, but Little Four's explanation solved her doubts. She looked enviously at those seniors flying around, and decided that she would redeem one herself in the future if she had the chance.
Ling Lan walked to one of the hover car stops in the villa complex. The academy was too big — if she walked on foot, she would definitely not be able to reach the teaching area within an hour. As new students, they didn't have flywheels, so to save time, they could only rely on these pre-set hover car stops.
Before she reached the hover car stop, she saw that there were already quite a number of people waiting there. Ling Lan scratched her forehead gloomily — it looked like she would have to wait for a few more cars. Hopefully, she wouldn't be late. Because of Lan Luofeng, Ling Lan didn't leave the house that early.
Ling Lan maintained her original speed as she walked towards the hover car stop. Right then, she heard a familiar voice shouting from not too far behind her, "Jijyun, Luo Lang, hurry up, we're going to be late..."
It was Zilong! Ling Lan's face was full of surprise. She hadn't expected to meet Zilong and the others here so coincidentally. A mischievous smile appeared on her lips. Zilong and the others still didn't know that she was also boarding on campus, so they probably hadn't expected to meet her here so early in the morning.
Sure enough, Zilong hadn't noticed that the person walking in front of him was Ling Lan. He flew past Ling Lan, and Ling Lan suddenly kicked out to intercept him.
"Zilong, watch out!" Behind him, Luo Lang saw everything clearly, but because he was too far away, he couldn't stop him. He could only shout angrily, trying to warn Zilong.
Zilong's instincts were indeed on the level of a wild beast — Ling Lan's kick had been timed extremely well, definitely catching him off guard. Unexpectedly, even so, in that instant when Zilong was about to be tripped, this fellow was still able to react at the last minute, pulling back his leg to brush past Ling Lan's calf by a hair's breadth, avoiding being tripped. However, it had been too unexpected after all. Zilong's rhythm was disrupted, and he lost his footing when he landed, stumbling and almost falling.
"You f * cking bastard..." Zilong steadied himself and turned around angrily, ready to teach that fellow a lesson, but he saw Ling Lan looking at him with a wide smile.
"Boss, it's you! Why are you here? "Zilong was overjoyed. He strode forward and gave Ling Lan a big hug before finally asking the question in his heart.
Han Jijun and Luo Lang had been running over angrily, but when they heard Zilong's shout, they were instantly overjoyed. Han Jijun's eyes were even brighter as he said, "Boss Lan, you've decided to board on campus?" Appearing in this position, there was no other possibility other than boarding on campus.
Ling Lan said innocently, "I had no choice. The school forced me to stop being a day student, so I could only board on campus."
"That's great! Now we can all learn and train together!" Zilong was the happiest. He had finally found someone who could fight with him. Yesterday, he had fought with Luo Lang, but Zilong had not felt satisfied at all. Fighting with Boss Lan was still more comfortable, even though he had always been abused by Boss Lan.
Han Jijun and Luo Lang's expressions were also very happy. The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the hover car station. At this time, there were fewer people at the station. Han Jijun used his communicator to shine it at the hover car station's sensor, and heard the sensor's mechanical voice saying, "The hover car you require will arrive in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Please be prepared."
Very soon, the students queuing up at the front all boarded their hover cars and left one by one. Finally, it was Han Jijun and the other three's turn. The school's hover cars had two rows of seats at the front and back, similar to the cars on Earth. The hover car's arrival time was very accurate, indeed 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Ling Lan and the other three sat in two rows at random, choosing the first year Special Class-A classroom they were going to.
They had just arrived at the classroom door when the bell rang, signaling the start of class. The children immediately went to their seats and began to make their final preparations. Ling Lan walked into the classroom and attracted curious gazes from the students. Because Ling Lan was an unfamiliar face, they quickly guessed that Ling Lan was that mysterious student with a powerful background who had taken leave on the first day of school yesterday.
Han Jijun gestured for Ling Lan to follow him. It turned out that the homeroom teacher had already arranged their seats yesterday. Ling Lan's seat was right behind Han Jijun, while Zilong and Luo Lang were to the left and right of Ling Lan.
"Why is it arranged like this?" Ling Lan was very curious. The four of them were seated together, making it very convenient for them to chat.
Han Jijun said helplessly, "My and your seats were arranged by the teacher, while Zilong and Luo Lang's seats were decided by a fight." It looked like Han Jijun had tried to stop Zilong and Luo Lang's actions before, but had been unsuccessful.
"Why was it decided by a fight?" Ling Lan was curious.
Zilong said excitedly from the side, "After the teacher arranged the seats, he said that if anyone was unhappy with their seat, they could challenge the student in the seat they wanted to sit in. If they succeeded, they could switch seats. If they failed, they would have to serve the student they challenged for a month. Luo Lang and I both succeeded."
Ling Lan was speechless. This world was indeed very dangerous — such young children, and the teacher was already trying to nurture their fighting spirit. If she wanted to do well in this world, it looked like she really couldn't slack off.
Right then, the bell signaling the start of class rang out in the classroom. An elegant and handsome youth slowly walked into the classroom — it was the homeroom teacher of their first year Special Class-A.
In the first week of freshmen, there were no formal classes. Instead, the classes were divided into an explanation of the school rules in the morning, and physical training in the afternoon, as well as familiarizing themselves with the various training equipment in the school and the flow of the various venues.
The homeroom teacher of first year Special Class-A was surnamed Cheng Yuanhang. When he saw Ling Lan, his gaze turned cold, and then he said to the students below, "Yesterday, I said that if anyone took a fancy to a seat, they could challenge the student in that seat. Originally, this activity should have ended yesterday, but because a student didn't come yesterday, we couldn't end it just like that. So, I want to ask again today — who wants Ling Lan's seat? "
Ling Lan frowned. This homeroom teacher before her seemed to dislike her very much, otherwise he wouldn't have called her out directly.
The students looked at each other, but no one said anything. None of them wanted to challenge Ling Lan. Thinking about it, challenging a student of unknown strength for a seat that wasn't that far off, and even having to serve the student for a month if they failed... it just wasn't worth it. Although Ling Lan was only ranked 17, Zilong and Luo Lang, who were ranked even lower than him, had suddenly risen to prominence. They were very strong, so they had no choice but to be cautious.
Just as Cheng Yuanhang thought that no one would challenge him, a thin and frail child suddenly stood up and said, "I want to challenge!"
"Lin Zhong-qing?" All the students were in an uproar. That student from the bottom of Special Class-A actually dared to challenge Ling Lan, who was ranked above average? Was he looking for death?
