Chapter 18 Specially Cared for Autonomous Awakeners

　　The blond boy's face turned red when he was criticized, but he didn't have the courage to refute it.

　　He could only lower his head and avoid the unfriendly looks from people around him.

　　With a slight disappointment, Harper Carter still kept her promise and gave an answer:

　　"Mystic energy is an extremely important training resource in the Mountain and Sea Academy. "

　　"By using it, you can exchange for training time in the mystic realm, which greatly enhances the strength of both your pets and yourself as a master."

　　"Just remember that every student in the academy, including me as one of the Ten Elite, highly values mystic energy. "

　　"So if you have a chance to get some, go all out to seize it!"

　　"For the second question, that boy wearing a pink skirt, with a beard and double ponytails, wow, you even have lipstick on, your taste is unique. What do you want to ask?" Harper Carter pointed to the person again.

　　John Smith couldn't see the boy who was too far away, but he could still imagine what he looked like.

　　"The Mountain and Sea Academy really has all kinds of people, even such eye-catching classmates..." John Smith could only sigh like that.

　　"Sister, do you have any key suggestions for this freshmen trial?"

　　The voice of the cross-dressing expert rang out, but it was a very firm and deep male voice, which gave people a big contrast.

　　But the angle of his question was sharp, and he might get some additional information from Harper Carter.

　　"Um, this question is interesting!" Harper Carter pondered for a moment and slowly spoke:

　　"My advice is to remind everyone to make full use of the first five days and explore the layout structure of the trial field during the safest time period as much as possible."

　　"In addition, students with average strength can form teams as early as possible. You don't need too many people, two or three people are enough, which is beneficial to obtain higher returns."

　　"Finally, I will reveal one more thing: the trial field not only has juvenile extraordinary creatures, but also a very small number of mature ones. "

　　"Therefore, you must be careful at all times and treat this trial field as a real wilderness, learning how to survive in a dangerous environment."

　　"Oh, and if you don't have time to crush the distress signal, you will really die~~~"

　　Harper Carter's words made many freshmen fall into brief contemplation, and she didn't interrupt them, giving them a few minutes of free time.

　　"Alright, last question," Harper Carter clapped her hands, gesturing everyone to refocus their attention. "The bald guy at the back, it's your turn."

　　The person Harper Carter referred to wasn't very far from John Smith and the others, and everyone could see him clearly.

　　"Hey, isn't that the guy whose hair got burnt by a Sparrow yesterday?" Liam Evans muttered.

　　"Harper senior, what I want to ask is how are the self-awakeners arranged for this trial?" The bald guy's voice seemed to contain a hint of resentment.

　　"I heard that there are three self-awakeners in this batch. If they are not restricted, whoever encounters them during the trial would be helpless. After all, their initial soul power is higher than ours, their physical fitness is stronger, and they also have a martial soul beast more than us. "

　　"How can we compare? We would be at a complete disadvantage!"

　　"Yeah, that's unfair!" Some of the students immediately joined in, and there were quite a few of them.

　　John Smith raised an eyebrow, completely surprised that the focus of the discussion had shifted to him.

　　"The academy has already made arrangements for this," Harper Carter interrupted, suddenly flashing a brilliant smile, her red lips outlining an unknown plan.

　　"The three of you who already have martial soul beasts, please gather around me."

　　Emily Jones nudged John Smith with her elbow, her almond-shaped eyes blinking and urging him to hurry up. "Come on, John, it's your turn to perform!"

　　Liam Evans laughed and smirked beside them, looking a little lewd. "Hey, John old boy, it seems like Harper senior has some ulterior motives..."

　　"Ugh..." John Smith sighed lightly, really not liking the feeling of being in the spotlight.

　　Isn't it better to grow up secretly?

　　Especially since he still had many secrets that he hadn't figured out yet.

　　If he rashly stood in the limelight and became a target of criticism, it would be quite troublesome.

　　"This Harper senior seems to have some bad intentions..." John Smith had this vague feeling of unease.

　　In the ten or so seconds that he hesitated, two people had already threaded their way through the crowd and walked towards the central stone pillar.

　　John Smith had no choice but to take a deep breath and push forward, squeezing through the crowd.

　　"Excuse me, thank you, excuse me, thank you..."

　　The crowded people constantly made way for him, and at the same time, pairs of bright eyes were firmly fixed on his figure.

　　Soon, John Smith arrived at the bottom of the central stone pillar and saw the other two self-awakeners.

　　One was the red-haired woman that Liam Evans had described.

　　She was tall, with sparkling skin, and had a beauty that was no less than Jiang Ling Yue's.

　　Her red hair was like flames, dazzling and eye-catching, making her look like a blooming fiery lotus.

　　She was delicate yet pure, with a softness that was tinged with firmness...

　　The other person was a thin young man with an ordinary appearance, dressed in plain clothes.

　　The only distinguishing feature was his long hair tied back with a hairpin, and his calm and composed expression made him look like a bookish scholar despite his frailty.

　　"Please don't use your soul power, I'll pull you up," said Harper Carter, quickly manipulating her fingers as if performing some kind of secret technique.

　　John Smith immediately noticed a void of light enveloping the three of them, lifting them up into the air.

　　As soon as they landed on the pillar, before they could say anything, Harper Carter took out a blue gem and shot three beams of blue light into each of their bodies.

　　In an instant, John Smith's expression turned grave as he realized that his Galaxy had disappeared from his chest and was forcibly recalled to the Book of Oaths, never to be summoned again.

　　The other two also looked surprised and fixed their gaze on Harper Carter, waiting for an explanation.

　　"Don't be nervous," Harper Carter said with a slight smile, but didn't respond to their inquiries.

　　Instead, she turned to face the sea of people below and shouted, "Have you all seen clearly? These are the three self-awakened freshmen this year, from left to right: John Smith, Alexander Scott, and Chloe Davis."

　　" I hope you remember their names, as well as their faces!"

　　"Just now, as usual, I have sealed their natal beasts personally. This means that during this trial, the three self-awakened freshmen will be just like you, entering the secret realm with bare hands and unable to rely on the power of their natal beasts!"

　　There was a murmur in the sea of people, with various discussions taking place.

　　Harper Carter smiled and scanned the crowd, continuing, "Of course, even so, they still have a great advantage due to their talents and abilities. The academy will not intervene any further."

　　With that, Harper Carter lifted her golden skirt with one hand and placed the other on her chest, gracefully performing a noble gesture towards everyone.

　　"That concludes the overall arrangement for this new student trial by the academy, and I have explained everything."

　　John Smith was close enough to see the playful look in Harper Carter's eyes as she lowered her head and her red lips curled up.
