7 Besides, You Will All Hear About Him Soon Enough. (1/2)

City A Public Auditorium 8:00 am.

Many reporters and students filled the auditorium's countless chairs. Reporters from big-name news outlets such as Cultivator Weekly and Immortal News took the best seats in the front. The students from City A High School were sitting somewhere in the middle. Apparently, these students got wind of an interesting piece of gossip that had them buzzing.

”I heard that Falling Star nearly killed some idiot earlier this week that was in her way,” one random student said.

”You mean the guy actually survived?” another asked.

”I'm sure he did,” a third said. ”If not wouldn't we have known about it already?”

”What I heard is that idiot had his nose stuck in a book the whole time. He didn't even know what hit him. Supposedly, Falling Star just sat on him after crashing into him until he turned into a fountain of blood. Not that I'm jealous or anything, but those legs…” A rather plump student shuddered as he related a story that was terrifyingly close to the truth.

”Grow up Ang,” the grade 12 class president cut in. ”All you ever think about are lewd situations. If you spent half as much time on doing your school work as you do fantasizing about women, you might even rival Yu Chang in the class standings.” The class president blushed, everyone in grade 12 knew that she had her sights set on capturing Yu Chang for herself. Being the daughter of Peak Master Fang from the Twin Peaks sect, she wasn't here as an applicant; she came as a representative of the school to keep the other students in line.

”Speaking of, where is the president's pet anyways?” Ang asked. ”He hasn't been to class all week… Wait, it's not possible that Yu Chang was the idiot demolished by Falling Star is it?”

”Of course not,” president Fang said. ”I would know if something happened to Yu Chang.”

”Right, those so-called strings of fate you keep blabbering about… more like apron strings if you ask me.” This came from the class ”rich boy” Ma Xiong. ”Even my maids weren't as much of a mother hen as you are towards Yu Chang. Has Yu Chang even acknowledged your existence once? Might as well mark it up to another failure for the Twin Peaks sect. You failed to recruit Falling Star, and you're failing to snatch away Yu Chang now.”

”Shut it Ma, with a name like Ma Xiong; I can't tell if I'm talking to a person or a walking game.”

”Oh, so original. Anyways pipe down pres it's about to start. Maybe you don't care about what Falling Star has to say, but the rest of us here do.”

A plainly dressed announcer could be seen walking to the podium. The announcer stepped up to the mic and tapped it a few times to make sure it was working. ”Ahem, thank you everyone for joining me on this special occasion to welcome a very special guest to City A. As you all know this guest is an unparalleled superstar in the world of cultivation, so without further ado, I wish to welcome Lady Falling Star to the stage.”
