September 1st, the first day of school.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan got up early, ate breakfast, and then set out together to register at school.

There was no need for parents to accompany them, so just the two of them went together.

After all, they were almost 16 years old and had enough independence to avoid bothering their parents if they could manage on their own.

Of course, the main reason was that the high school division of Shanhai High School was very close to home, only a few hundred meters away. It was a matter of a few minutes’ walk.

“Zi Chen, with the school so close, our bicycle is going to be of no use. What a pity.”

Wearing a light blue dress that showed off her fair and straight calves, Shen Qinghan walked side by side with Lin Zichen on the street and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the situation, expressing her regret with a hint of disappointment.

Lin Zichen: “It’s okay, we can still ride on weekends. There’s nothing to regret.”

“Then on weekends we should ride our bikes out for fun. I’ll take you, my legs are really strong now, no problem carrying you!” Shen Qinghan said this, her clear eyes gazing at Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen smiled and said, “Okay, then I’ll look forward to your cycling skills a bit.”

The two continued their walk and chat.

When they were about to reach the intersection ahead, Shen Qinghan pointed to a barber shop across the street, somewhat uncertainly saying, “Zi Chen, look at that barber shop across the street. Isn’t that Zhang Kai inside?”

Zhang Kai?

The very energetic boy from the martial arts team back then?

Lin Zichen followed Shen Qinghan’s direction and indeed saw Zhang Kai from the old martial arts team.

However, the present Zhang Kai was no longer the sunny buzzcut boy from the past, but had transformed into a non-mainstream guy with an earring in his left ear, his right eye covered by slanted bangs, his hair dyed in a riot of colors.

In front of the barber shop, there was also a ghost fire motorcycle parked, probably his.

“Failed academic subjects back then, didn’t get into high school, and then became a non-mainstream ghost fire youth?” Thinking of this, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but feel nostalgic and reflective.

Nevertheless, he didn’t pay too much attention to it and quickly continued towards the school with Shen Qinghan. Shanhai High School’s high school division.

The freshmen welcoming hall.

The so-called welcoming hall was actually just a spacious corridor under a certain academic building.

There, each new student’s homeroom teacher had their own designated desk and chairs, sitting there waiting for their class’s new students to report.

When Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan entered, the classroom was empty.

They had arrived too early; they’d come to report in right after breakfast, and most of their classmates probably hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet, let alone come to the classroom.

After all, today was the full day for registration, so everybody could totally sleep in at home and report in the afternoon after eating.

“Xiao Chen, there are pictures of the teachers for our class on the back wall, they look like they’ve just been put up, let’s go take a look!” Shen Qinghan said as she ran to the back of the classroom, curiously examining the photos hanging on the wall.

Lin Zichen also walked over and saw that under each teacher’s photo was their respective introduction, figuring that these were probably put up to help newcomers quickly familiarize themselves with the teachers.

It had to be said that the school was really considerate in this regard, and deserved extra points for that.

There were four pictures in total, all of male teachers, each corresponding to one of the four main subjects in their high school curriculum.

The first picture: Martial Arts teacher, also the homeroom teacher, named Han Yuanfeng.

The second picture: Wilderness Survival teacher, named Cheng Bei.

The third picture: Genetic Fusion teacher, named Liu Deren.

The fourth picture: Mechanical Modification teacher, named Cai Yuanfei.

Apart from the basic information about the teachers, there was also an introduction to the four main subjects beneath the photos.

Martial Arts: Mainly to train the body and learn martial arts skills, practice-oriented.

Wilderness Survival: Mainly to learn various survival skills, such as climbing, fire-making with wood friction, and how to find water sources, etc., practice-oriented.

Genetic Fusion: Mainly to learn about the technology of Genetic Fusion, as well as recognizing various Exotic Beasts, understanding the attributes and habits of known Exotic Beasts, mainly taught from textbooks, theory-oriented.

Mechanical Modification: Mainly to learn about the technology of Mechanical Modification, recognizing various materials and alloy equipment, also taught from textbooks, theory-oriented.

“Xiao Chen, there are so few subjects in high school, just four, way fewer than middle school,” Shen Qinghan said after reading the introductions under the pictures, feeling a bit elated.

Lin Zichen threw cold water on her excitement, “Don’t be happy too soon, the fewer the number of courses, the harder they are. And these are just the main courses, we still have electives to study.”

“No problem, the electives are just some hobby and culture classes, they won’t be difficult for me at all,” Shen Qinghan confidently asserted.

After all, as a little academic overachiever who ranked in the top hundred in the district for cultural subjects, she truly had the reason to be a bit proud at the moment.

Lin Zichen just smiled and didn’t speak; he was more than happy to see Shen Qinghan proud.

For him, who had always been brilliant from a young age, he was not afraid of Shen Qinghan being proud, but rather of her feeling inferior.

Because pride at least meant that Shen Qinghan was happy, whereas the opposite, inferiority, meant that she was very unhappy and could become depressed at any time.

He didn’t want her to lack confidence and become introverted because he was too dazzling.
