South of Blackboard City.
In a pastry shop somewhere.
"Lon, your brother is from Blackboard Academy and you didn't even tell us!" In a cute, pink-themed shop, a pink-haired girl in a white apron pulled Lon's hair and yelled.
"Manager, I've already told Xiu Li and the others, don't blame me!" Lon was wearing a similar white apron and his long hair was tied up. His skin was fair and smooth and his body was almost the same as a girl's, giving off a strange sexiness. He was also wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. From afar, he didn't look out of place among a group of young girls, giving off the same delicate and pretty feeling.
"Is it true?" The pink-haired girl immediately turned her head to look at the other shop assistants. The rest of the young girls and boys immediately turned their heads away guiltily. They were all younger than the store manager, and the store manager treated them as her younger brothers and sisters. The relationship between the members of the store was very pure. They were all simple-minded people, and the store manager had purposely chosen them this way when she chose them.
"It's like this, manager. Lon told us when he called last time and we all heard it. "A handsome young man wearing glasses said softly. "It's just that Lon's brother rarely contacted him so we slowly forgot about it …"
Of course, they didn't forget about it. Other than the simple-minded Lon who couldn't tell, they all felt it from Lon's narration. Lon's brother Nono actually looked down on his younger brother. Although Lon clumsily put in a good word for his brother, Nonosiva's arrogant, unreasonable and strong image slowly appeared in everyone's mind. Naturally, they rarely talked about this topic with Lon.
"At first, I thought that with so many people in Blackboard Academy, Lon's brother would at most be a normal student. I didn't expect … that guy to be so arrogant." Two girls with blonde curly hair in ponytails whispered.
"But Lon is so tired every day but he still insists on saving money for his brother and continuing to attend classes at night. His brother didn't even ask about it, how disappointing. "Another girl said softly.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. If Lon hears it, he'll start making a fuss again." The two girls looked at Lon's innocent face and couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, forget it, Blackboard Academy is too far away from us, let's be realistic." The pink-haired girl clapped her hands loudly. "Everyone, pay attention. In a while, my brother and his friends will be coming over to help out. It's considered a holiday internship. They're all middle school students, about the same age as you guys. Everyone, please get along well."
Wow …
Immediately, all the shop assistants gathered around.
"The store manager's brother? I wonder if he's as handsome as me? "
"Maybe he's a cute little boy. Even the store manager is so beautiful. "
"I wonder what kind of person he is? It'll be troublesome if she has a bad temper. "
"Daisy, it's all up to you when the time comes! Use your charm to conquer him! "
Looking at the curious shop assistants surrounding her, the pink-haired girl put her hands on her waist in satisfaction.
"Don't worry. My brother and his friends are good people, especially my brother. He's a gentle guy. Just don't bully him."
"Really …"
"Do you have any photos?"
"Here." The pink-haired girl took out a colored photo, but it was immediately snatched away. "You're asking for a beating, Jasmine!"
A girl with a silver ponytail smiled and ran away with the photo, but she was immediately surrounded by people.
"Let me see …"
She took down the photo and shook it to look at it.
In the photo was a short boy with a shy smile. He was not handsome, but he had some delicate features. His messy black hair was being rubbed by the store manager behind him.
At the bottom right corner of the photo was written in black: Loose Cover.
"This is the language of the Sagittarius Star. It means' I love my family '. Aiyo, store manager, it's so mushy ~ ~ ~ "
Another boy snatched the photo and read it out loud.
"Aiya, do you want to die!?" The pink-haired girl was instantly annoyed.
Lon stood at the side and smiled. Seeing that there were no customers in the store, but everyone was messing around, it made him feel warm and comfortable.
He also saw the boy in the photo. He looked very gentle, so he must be someone who was easy to get along with.

Blackboard Academy
In the Grade C dormitory area.
Garon had just inserted his ID card into the door lock and opened the dormitory door with a click. Suddenly, he felt a slight movement in his heart. It was as if something had been slightly activated. An inexplicable feeling surged from his heart, but he could not pinpoint the source.
He stood quietly at the door, his hand holding the doorknob without moving.
"This feeling … is so familiar …" he muttered softly.
Click.
The sound of the student opposite him opening the door came from behind him.
Garon was instantly awakened. He turned his head slightly and looked behind him. The boy opposite him was talking on the phone in a low voice while walking into the room.
He pushed the door open and closed it behind him. He blocked out the sound of the students' footsteps, their laughter, and the sound of the hover car's engine outside.
"Could it be … that it has started?" He turned on the air conditioner, took off his jacket and threw it on the chair. He lay on the bed and quietly recalled.
When he first chose this body, it was mainly because there seemed to be traces of inexplicable fluctuations around this body. Now, it seemed that his choice was starting to come true.
After thinking about it carefully, this feeling was very familiar, but it was not very clear. Garon himself was not sure what was going on. He thought about it carefully on the bed for more than ten minutes but still could not figure it out.
With a sigh, he sat up straight and continued with his training routine for the day.
He glanced at the attribute pane. Today's attribute page had started to change slightly.
'Nonosiva Lin — Strength 0.7, Agility 1.2, Vitality 0.5, Intelligence 1.4. Potential 0%. Soul Limit 40. '
"The average strength of all attributes has increased by 0.1. Not bad." Garon nodded satisfactorily. "I just don't know how much the second level of the Peacock's ability will strengthen this body. It would be best if it could exceed the average strength of 1 point. When the time comes, I can rely on my combat experience and skills to protect myself even if I face special forces armed with firearms. "
Powerful Secret Techniques could bring about various changes to the practitioner as they cultivated to the next level. Some of them were positive, some of them were negative, and some of them were insignificant and harmless.
As for the second level of the basic level of the Peacock Technique, as the second level of the Living Secret Technique, he did not know how many changes it could bring to this body.
Garon looked carefully at the Secret Technique and other skill pane. There were also changes above. There were more Willpower related skills.
'Willpower — Middle Basic Level.
(Training Method: Blackboard Control, Blackboard Academy's free training method. Continuous training results are weak. Improvement speed is 12 years per level.) '
"Finally, the training method has become a skill. Looks like my understanding of this world's training method has gradually deepened. That's why it has formed a sufficient concept in the natural ability." Garon was deep in thought.
"To be able to form a skill, it can be strengthened by potential points. It's just that there are no potential points in this world …" Garon frowned slightly.
Ding dong …
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Garon looked at the time. It was already past ten at night. Who could be looking for him?
He had just separated from Aier and Mina. If there was anyone else, they would definitely use the Watch Terminal to call first.
The doorbell rang only once, and then there was no more sound.
Garon stood up and walked over to open the door.
With a click, there was no one outside the door. There was only a letter on the floor. On the surface of the white envelope, there was a line of words: To Nonosiva Lin.
Garon picked up the letter and glanced outside again. There were two students who passed by, chatting and laughing as they walked into the dormitory building. Other than that, there was no other suspicious activity.
He closed the door again and sat on the bed with the letter.
"Could it be that Nonosiva has some special connections in this world? Or should I say … "Garon tore open the envelope and took out an unsigned letter. He opened it gently.
'Student Nono, regarding the second match tomorrow, we hope that you can voluntarily admit defeat.' Then, there was a picture of a blue daffodil.
Garon looked through the back of the paper and saw that there were words on the back of the paper. He turned around to look.
'Rondo Lin, Jushang Interregion Investment Company, Deputy Chief of the Negotiation Department.'
'Amy Randa, Jushang Interregion Investment Company, Vice Chief of the Inventory Management Department.'
"Is that what it means?" Garon touched the paper and suddenly understood.
"Nonosiva's parents are just ordinary employees. This position of Section and so on should be the price I have to pay for voluntarily admitting defeat this time … It's really a good balancing act … Simple and effective."
He knew that such a position change would bring huge changes to the entire family. A Deputy Chief's position would at least double their income every year. If both of them had equipment that would double their income, the entire family's financial situation would also be greatly improved. This was also a bargaining chip that was hard to reject.
In this kind of school, facing classmates and peers who could change the fate of his family with just a few words, it was no wonder that the original Nonosiva was so extreme and introverted. This was not a pressure that a teenager should have to bear.
"Then, how should I deal with this?" Garon held the letter and thought carefully.
He was seriously thinking about it. According to the competition's progress, the second round of the finals tomorrow would probably be the second round of the Losers' Bracket challenge. In other words, the opponent would be the elites of the Losers' Bracket. Now that they had sent this exchange condition, they wanted to snatch Class C5's spot in the Winners' Bracket.
This was a little different from Garon's previous calculations.
"Moreover, the price of this exchange is too little …" Garon did not have any objection to a fake competition. As long as the goal was achieved, the process and methods were not important. However, the exchange condition that the opponent had given was a little too little. It was not worth it.
Beep beep … Beep beep …
Suddenly, his Watch Terminal rang. It was a call at this time.
Garon raised his wrist and glanced at it. There was no caller ID, only a cluster of dark blue daffodils. He waited for a while and quickly turned on his tablet. He tapped on it for a while, then took a data cable and connected it to his Watch Terminal. Only then did he press the button on his watch.
"Hello, we are Blue Daffodil. Have you received the letter for you? "Once the call was connected, a hoarse female voice could be heard.
Garon glanced at the screen of a certain software he had written on his tablet. The wavy lines on the screen rose and fell slightly. He turned his head.
"I've received the letter. However, with my ability, this price is too low."
“？？” The other party was obviously stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Garen to say this directly. Usually, those who could enter the Qualifier were undoubtedly people with outstanding strength and talent, as well as arrogant characters. When it came to asking them to admit defeat on purpose, they definitely wouldn't be nice to them. But this time, Garen was actually negotiating with her calmly.
