Andrich Magic Academy.
Chu He looked at the words on the academy gate and sensed the rich magical aura it exuded.
He was pondering over some questions.
What was he doing at the Magic Academy?
He was here to learn magic.
Did he learn anything?
No.
What did he rely on to increase his strength now?
His mutated cells.
How could cells mutate?
By killing monsters.
So why did he not go out to kill monsters but still continue wasting time in the academy?
Chu He scratched his head and felt that there was no point in staying here.
He really did not have any talent for magic. He probably would not be able to learn magic in this lifetime.
"Why don't I… withdraw from school?" When Chu He thought of this, he felt that dropping out of the academy was a good choice.
In the academy, the growth he could obtain was too little.
Chu He quickly found his teacher, Claire.
Claire was in her thirties and usually wore a pair of black-framed glasses. She looked intellectual and beautiful.
"Chu He, why are you looking for me?"
Cultivation depended on talent and hard work.
In Claire's impression, Chu He's magic talent was pitifully weak. When he underwent a magic awakening at the age of fifteen, Chu He's magic talent was detected to have only reached the lowest standard for entering the academy.
This was despite the fact that Chu He had been cultivating very hard this year.
Claire also saw Chu He's efforts.
But for those without talent, no matter how hard they tried, they could not achieve anything.
After so long, Chu He had not even become an Apprentice Mage.
There was less than a month left before the school's end-of-year examination.
A student who could not become an Apprentice Mage in a year's time would be expelled by the academy.
Before possessing mutated cells, Chu He was very worried about this. Now, he did not care.
Cultivating magic…
Was it better than his own mutated cells?
No.
He had only dealt with three demonic creatures, yet his strength was already stronger than that of an average Advanced Mage.
This academy could not teach Chu He anything.
"Teacher, I want to withdraw from the academy."
Claire froze for a moment when she heard this, but her expression quickly changed from astonishment to pity as she patted Chu He's shoulder.
Claire sighed in her heart.
If such a hardworking student had a higher talent in magic, he would have great achievements in the future.
What a pity.
She could understand Chu He's intention to drop out.
Rather than letting a talentless student be expelled after the end-of-year examination in a month's time, it was better to just withdraw now.
He could save himself the embarrassment.
"Then let me help you with the paperwork."
Chu He was secretly delighted as he did not expect his teacher to be so easy to convince.
The paperwork was completed very quickly. Now, he was no longer a member of the Andrich Magic Academy, and he was a free person again.
Teacher Claire walked over and gently patted Chu He's shoulder.
She gently reminded him, "From now on, you are just an ordinary person. It doesn't matter if you don't have magic talent. In the future, as an upright person, you will be able to play your role in society."
"Don't try to be brave when you encounter demonic creatures, just report to the Magical Investigation Unit in time. There are many beautiful things in this world for you to discover besides magic."
Chu He nodded.
He returned to the dormitory where he had lived for a year and packed his luggage.
This was the place where he first awakened a fire cell and killed a monster.
It was very nostalgic.
After bringing his luggage, Chu He boarded the train to San Francisco.
There were many monsters waiting for him to deal with. In Chu He's eyes, these monsters were mutated cells.
In the aisle of the train, a flustered girl ran over and slammed into Chu He.
Thud!
After Chu He gained the Superman cell, his physical fitness had greatly improved.
His entire body was tough like a steel plate.
After the girl hit Chu He, she felt a headache and fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Chu He asked in concern.
He stretched out a hand, wanting to pull the girl up.
However, when the girl looked up, Chu He was shocked when he saw her face.
It was not that this girl was ugly.
To be honest, she was pretty good looking without makeup.
However, the dark circles under the girl's eyes were very dense, as if they were drawn with a black marker.
At the very least, Chu He had never seen such severe dark circles.
The girl glanced at Chu He and shook her head.
She hurriedly stood up and left.
It seemed that she had something urgent to attend to.
Chu He scratched his head. Since the other party did not say anything, he treated it as a small interlude, there was no point in being nosy.
"What is this?" Chu He's gaze suddenly landed on a piece of paper on the floor.
It seemed to have fallen from the girl just now.
After picking it up, he realized that it was a drawing with a woman's face.
But this was no ordinary face.
This woman had deep eye sockets, a sharp nose, messy hair, and a fierce gaze.
However, her lips were very red, they were not of a normal red color. Instead, it was the color of fresh blood. Her face was very pale, and a row of sharp teeth could be seen in her mouth, it was a terrifying appearance.
Chu He frowned.
Just this simple drawing alone would make one feel extremely terrified and uncomfortable.
He turned around and saw that the girl had already disappeared, so he could not return the paper to her even if he wanted to.
Chu He felt helpless about the situation, he could only fold the paper and stuff it into his pocket.
