Chapter 6 – Three Mistakes

“Ye Wei, Miss Zi Yan would very much like you to try and suggest how the stance can be improved.” She tried to push him again for an answer, waiting to be surprised and see just how much he knew.

“Erm… about that…” Not willing to give up anything, Ye Wei was trying to stall as much as possible.

Dong~ Dong~ Dong~

As Ye Wei struggled to deal with the situation, the muffled chiming of the school bell interrupted him.

Finally, the lecture is over!

Ye Wei felt relieved as the school bell saved him. He smiled at Lin Zi Yan, scratching the back of his head and saying, “Miss Zi Yan, since the lecture is over, what do you say to resuming this discussion next time?”

Ye Wei knew that his statement would end this drama, as Zi Yan was just a substitute teacher and it was uncertain the next time she would be teaching junior three’s class.

“Class dismissed.” Miss Zi Yan ended the lecture. “Not you, Ye Wei. You are coming with me!” Judging from the soul sensitivity Ye displayed earlier, Zi Yan was pretty certain Ye Wei had potential; as such, she would arrange for Ye Wei to meet one of the Runemasters for further assessment.

Ye Wei really thought he got away with this one, but Miss Zi Yan had other plans. He could not refuse an order from her and therefore followed her out of the classroom, reluctantly.

As soon as the two were out of sight, the class engaged in an intense discussion. Gossip and chatter filled the room.

“His senses are so sharp! I didn’t expect that from Ye, that guy has no talent for fighting, whatsoever…”

“Where is Miss Zi Yan taking him to? Probably to a Runemaster to verify if the show he put on was genuine? If that was real he’d probably start studying under a master!”

The class was as envious as they were curious. They always looked down on Ye Wei because of his Sentient, but with Ye’s newfound talent, the tables were slowly turning.

Cao Ning and a couple of Ye Wei’s real friends were genuinely happy for him and a bit jealous at the same time, like everyone else.

“Shut up! All of you!” Xiao Qi slammed the table with a heavy strike, the veins on his arms bulging. Having the spotlight taken off him was hard enough, but taken by someone he had been abusing, someone he deemed inferior, was something way more humiliating. Xiao Qi was drowning in envy; he couldn’t deal with the sudden debut of Ye’s apparently new talent.

Frustrated and envious, Xiao Qi was in denial. “It can’t be true… Why don’t I have greater soul sensitivity? Why can’t Miss Zi Yan only look at me?”

Lin Zi Yan was only fifteen years old and she was already a ten star Student, one step away from becoming a Warrior. When it came to her appearance, she was impeccable. Her soft, pretty face, graceful posture, and perfectly proportioned body… In the whole student body of South Star Academy, there were no more than three boys who were attractive and smart enough to match her. That list of three of course excludes Ye Wei, who was unknown until today!

Lin Zi Yan was a gentle and friendly person, but anyone who knew her well enough knew that when she talked to people she liked, she kept a bit of distance to protect herself. Now she was walking close to an unfamiliar face. It drew a lot of attention and eyes, and many people wondered who exactly was walking behind Zi Yan.

Feeling the intensity of everyone’s gazes, Ye Wei realised becoming close to Zi Yan would make him the center of attention, and in turn his every move would be observed. It takes a lot of self-esteem and confidence to overcome everyone’s judgemental looks. ‘How stressful must it to be her boyfriend…’ Ye Wei wondered.
