Chapter 2 - Innovation

Su Anya walked through the main gate and followed the crowd as the student entered the school. Looking at everything she was familiar with in the past, she tried to stay natural, but she was equally excited and nervous.

A competition poster caught her attention as she entered the school. In an instant, all of her past life memories flashed before her like a movie. The agony and betrayal begin here. In the past, she had competed in this competition with her team. They had won first place. However, what she faced was humiliation and hatred. In this life, she will exact revenge for all her injustices. She walked toward her classroom with that thought in mind.

Su Anya couldn't help but pause in front of the year one, class three classroom. In the classroom, students were conversing and laughing. Everything made her feel surreal.

She pushed the door open and entered. When the student saw her standing at the door, some of them ignored her and some looked at her with contempt. It was the kind of reaction that instantly isolated one.

Su Anya couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She was too familiar with this scene. In the entire three years of high school, she was like an outsider who had never integrated into it.

She walked straight to her seat. She put down her bag and sit down.

The morning bell rang, and the noisy students calmed down. When Mr. Li, their form teacher, entered the classroom. "I hope everyone is aware of this year's "Innovation" competition. Here is a list of the students who will be taking part. Three students in our class are proficient in programming. Su Anya, Cheng Yiran, and Lin Nan."

After Mr. Li left, Su Anya was thinking about the competition, she heard a voice. "How could they allow you to participate in the competition." That boy scoffed. "Do you think that a cheater like you will be able to win this competition?"

Su Anya looked at the boy in front of her. His name was Lu Qing, the one who had made her life difficult in school.

She stood up from her seat and looked at him with a cold look. "Do you have evidence that I had cheated? I can sue you for slandering me."

She no longer lowered her head and submerged herself in a sea of people like before. Instead, her entire body executed a different temperament from others. Lu Qing was taken aback by the change in her aura. He felt intimidated by her cold look.

"Enough, Lu Qing, don't bully her, and go back to your seat."

Lu Qing snorted and sat down in his seat. Because Yang Mei's father is the principal, everyone in the class listens to her.

Su Anya looked at her. Yang Mei once told her in her previous life that she needed to stand up for herself because no one can help someone who can't help himself.

"Thank you very much, class monitor." Yang Mei looked at her and nodded.

In the afternoon, after school. Su Anya visited her aunt Li Xinyi in the hospital. Ever since her parent's divorce and both of them now have their own families. They chose to abandon her.

Aunt Li Xinyi took her in out of pity.

She walked into her aunt's hospital room. A frail woman lies in the ward. She had already lost all of her hair, and her face was pale. Her heart aches to look at her aunt like this.

Li Xinyi looked at her niece as she opened her eyes. "Anya, why have you come here? It's cold outside, and there are nurses and doctors who can help me." She gave her a shaky smile. "You must concentrate on your studies.

Su Anya sat beside her and held the fragile hand to her face, she said " I am sorry aunty, I haven't taken good care of you."

"Sweetie, it is not you who needs to apologize, it's me who should have kept you safe." Her aunt said to her with adoration.

Su Anya had always avoided getting close to her aunt in her previous life.

Her aunt died alone in the hospital. She won't leave her alone in this life.

************

Early in the morning, Su Anya went to her Kung Fu classes. She wanted to learn self-defense.

"You have talent, young lady. If you practice more, it will be easier for you to compete after three years of training." Master Wang, her teacher, had high expectations of her.

Su Anya wiped the sweat from her head. She took a sip of some water. "I am not destined to walk this path, Master. I want to learn how to defend myself. I'm not motivated to win glory for you."

"Sigh, young lady, you reminded me of a previous student of mine. But he learns Kung Fu to protect someone very important to him. He is very talented and I want to take him as my disciple."

Su Anya was taken aback. "Master, I'd like to fight that student of yours." Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"You can't; I have no idea where he is."

Su Anya's eyes dimmed. "Whenever I come across him. I will undoubtedly challenge him to a fight."

In the capital.

The long fingers of a man danced across the keyboard as he sat in front of the computer. Only the sound of typing on the keyboard was audible.

There was a knock at the door. Secretary Du entered the room after receiving permission.

"Boss, there will be a competition named 'Innovation' in City Y; we can sponsor some students and hire them after graduation."

Lu Rayansh raised his head and examined the competition organizer's invitation. "We're going there next week."
