Sorry, Power Means Freedom

"Are you really Old Xie?!"

Chen Shu looked left and right, still unable to believe it—an old man suddenly turned into a student?!

Xie Su'nan raised his eyebrows: "Which eye of yours can't see that I'm Xie Su'nan?"

Chen Shu replied: "None of my three eyes could tell."

"That is a bit miraculous."

Xu Xingxing was also full of surprise and said, "Although there's a big age gap, the sly vibe between your brows and that porky smell on you confirm it's definitely you."

"…"

Xie Su'nan no longer wanted to explain. I'm just a bit more mature, is that a crime?

The three joked and laughed as they returned to the classroom.

Because the special training class was established, the senior students were rearranged into new classes.

…

The classroom originally for Beast Taming Class One was now given to the special training class.

The classroom was almost full. The three of them were calm, as if inspecting like leaders, and slowly moved to seats in the back row.

Chen Shu didn't know many people in the special training class, only Xu Xiaoyu, Xia Bing, Wang Qinghan, and the two idiots beside him.

"Chen Shu, give me your homework."

Xu Xiaoyu came to his seat. As the original class monitor of Beast Taming Class One, she was the first to collect homework.

Chen Shu shrugged and said, "I don't have any. I'm in Beast Taming Class Five, and the teacher didn't assign homework."

Xu Xiaoyu was speechless, just as she expected. She said, "Then where did Xia Bing's homework come from?"

"Uh…"

Xu Xingxing and Xie Su'nan nearby spoke up: "Come on, Chen Shu, just hand in the homework. We know you finished it long ago."

"Finished my ass!" Chen Shu twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at them.

"Why don't you collect their homework?"

"We're transfer students!"

Xu Xingxing and Xie Su'nan straightened their backs, looking smug.

"Is that the privilege of transfer students?!"

Chen Shu groaned, humbly saying, "Xiaoyu, given our relationship, just don't mention my name, consider it handed in."

As class monitor, Xu Xiaoyu naturally hoped to collect all homework, so she said, "You didn't do any homework during the two months of summer vacation?"

"I remember before going to bed last night, I finished half."

"And the other half?"

"I woke up and realized the first half was just a dream…"

"…"

Xu Xiaoyu's mouth twitched; she was completely speechless.

Chen Shu earnestly said, "Xiaoyu, just say it's all collected and hand it in, that's enough."

"The teacher isn't stupid, how could they not tell?!"

"It's fine. Before, in a class of dozens, Zhang Dali only handed in three homework books, and he told the teacher he collected everything."

Xu Xingxing and Xie Su'nan widened their eyes; daring to say all collected?! They were truly fearless.

Xu Xiaoyu doubted, "The teacher believed that?"

"Uh… that was the end of his class rep career."

"…"

While they were talking, a man in short sleeves entered. He was tall and thin, wore black-framed glasses, and looked a bit stern.

"Xu Xiaoyu, go back to your seat! Don't collect Chen Shu's homework."

When the man came in, the classroom fell completely silent.

"I will be your homeroom teacher for the year. My name is Shen Wushuang!"

Chen Shu's eyes moved; he definitely hadn't seen this teacher before. Seems like the school hired someone expensive.

Nanjiang No. 2 High School was truly going all in.

A chubby student wearing glasses said, "Teacher! Turning in homework should be the students' duty, no exceptions."

Chen Shu narrowed his eyes. Fatty, you're picking a fight with me on day one?

Shen Wushuang smiled and said, "Chen Shu scored 396 in cultural subjects. If anyone scores above 390, their cultural homework is completely waived!"

"As long as your ability is outstanding, you get privileges!"

Sun Ziyang objected, "Teacher, having ability is impressive, but does that mean you can ignore school rules?"

Shen Wushuang shrugged and said, "Sorry, having ability really means you can do whatever you want!"

Chen Shu smiled at the corner of his mouth, didn't expect this teacher to be interesting.

Shen Wushuang looked at everyone and said, "Students, from now on, remember: you're in the special training class! If your grades are good enough, you can ignore rules!"

"Of course, I mean school rules. If you kill or cause trouble, that's the Spirit Control Bureau's business."

Seeing that none of the students had anything to say, Shen Wushuang nodded in satisfaction.

"Maybe you've noticed, the special training class has more than twenty people. The school specially recruited outstanding transfer students."

Shen Wushuang's gaze landed on several students in the class and nodded.

Immediately, four students stood up and came to the front.

"Wang Qinghan, contracted spirit is an A-level fire elemental spirit! Exceptional beast taming talent!"

Wang Qinghan smiled and nodded. He seemed kind but gave off a distant, cold vibe.

"Du Long, contracted spirit is an A-level earth wyrm, beast taming talent is excellent!"

Du Long was an average-looking boy, but his eyes showed arrogance.

No matter when, dragon-type contracted spirits were never simple, even low-bloodline wyrms.

As expected, after this was announced, classmates all looked over, no wonder the school specially recruited him.

"Xie Su'nan! Contracted spirit is a B-level bug-butterfly, expert in searching!"

Many scoffed. Most in the special training class were B-level, so they clearly looked down on Xie Su'nan.

Clang!

At that moment, a metallic sound came, and many turned to look.

Many faces turned pale, eyes filled with fear.

Suddenly, a pig-slaughtering knife fell out from Xie Su'nan's clothes, the blade stained with dark blood, instantly reminding everyone of human blood.

For students, this was definitely a deadly weapon.

"Sorry, sorry, occupational hazard! Accidentally brought it along."

Xie Su'nan picked up the knife, his aura instantly turning fierce.

"Occupational hazard?!"

Everyone paled and silently hoped Xie Su'nan hadn't noticed their earlier disdain.

Shen Wushuang twitched at the mouth, didn't expect anyone to bring a pig slaughtering knife to school.

"Don't worry, classmates. Next is the last transfer student."

"Xu Xingxing! Contracted spirit is an A-level mutated thunderbird, talent is outstanding."

Xu Xingxing looked much more normal and smiled shyly, giving a good impression.

Xie Su'nan nudged him and whispered, "Your clothes are messy."

"Uh, sorry!"

Xu Xingxing shyly smiled and straightened his clothes. Underneath his white shirt, he wore a blue-and-white patient gown!

It was obvious it was a mental hospital gown.

"Ah, well..."

The whole class shuddered. The school was really desperate, recruiting people straight from a mental hospital?!

"Everyone, don't be nervous! I'm just working part-time over summer."

Xu Xingxing smiled slightly. What once looked like a shy, gentle smile now seemed strangely abnormal.

Don't all mental patients smile like that?
