The towering, huge teaching building was filled with students of different grades, each carrying books and shuttling between classrooms.
The teaching mode here was very open. Apart from a few compulsory basic courses, students were free to choose what courses to take. If you felt energized enough, you could even choose up to a dozen courses.
In addition to the compulsory courses like Chinese, Mathematics and English, Tang Qi chose Ancient History, Ancient Art Appreciation, Global Geography, Basic Biology, and a niche course called "Mystery Legend".
Tang Qi shuttled between these classrooms all day long, following the crowds with his books.
He neither made any friends nor did anything outrageous. He played the role of an extremely honest and attentive Asian student perfectly. Relying on this stereotype, he really integrated into the student group.
Of course, while integrating into the group, Tang Qi kept experimenting with the derivative skills he had just acquired.
An accidental surprise! The furnace eye!
After half a day of experimentation, Tang Qi roughly understood the function of this skill. As shown in that special interface, when he injected spiritual power from meditation into his eyes, his pupils would briefly turn light golden, which had a daunting effect that most ordinary people could hardly withstand.
As for the so-called "calming the mind", Tang Qi was still exploring.
Although this could only barely be considered an auxiliary combat skill, for Tang Qi at this time, it was already a pleasant surprise.
It should be known that a Damocles sword had always hung over his head. Just thinking of what was recorded in Old Morgan's diary, his mother Samra, with bizarre nicknames like "Ukrulu Guardian" and "Black Witch", was enough to frighten Tang Qi.
Just a few words were enough to horrify Tang Qi.
A black woman who had the evil power to kill hundreds of people. Most importantly, Tang Qi had killed her son.
Tang Qi was not blindly optimistic and did not expect this family not to come looking for him.
At present, the only external force Tang Qi could rely on was the unknown protection of St. Thorn High School. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
As for Mr. Ronald, after helping Tang Qi deal with the inheritance and two small favors, the kindness was used up.
Ultimately, Tang Qi still had to rely on himself.
"Meditation Law, Furnace Eye."
"Oh, and some combat techniques from the continent of Sahar learned from the diary."
"These are obviously not enough. I hope to have more time."
In the corridor, Tang Qi followed the students, recalling in his mind the power he possessed. No matter how he calculated, Tang Qi was very clear that he could now deal with a few ordinary people, but he was still far from dealing with a black magic family.
Tang Qi was very anxious in his heart, but on the surface he could maintain absolute calm.
He already had some plans, but time was needed to put them into practice.
Suppressing the sense of crisis in his heart, Tang Qi followed the sparse boys and girls in front of him into the classroom for the last class of the day.
The content of this course was "Mystery Legend".
It was a very niche course, mainly teaching mysterious legends from all over the blue star, whether native or foreign, ancient or modern.
Although Tang Qi doubted very much that a high school that looked like an aristocratic school would set up such a weird course, for Tang Qi, who was eager to enter the extraordinary realm, he couldn't help but choose it at a glance.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Tang Qi's eyes moved suddenly. He saw an unexpected person. It was the female lead who had bumped into Tang Qi before and got him involved in the campus bullying incident by accident. Her messy golden curly hair was very conspicuous. The unfortunate Sally.
There were not many students in the classroom, only a few sparse ones. Tang Qi's ordinary walk-in was still noticeable.
The girl named Sally lifted her head slightly, and when she saw Tang Qi, she obviously froze for a moment. It seemed that she thought of something, and her face suddenly turned red.
"She's really a very timid girl."
Tang Qi sighed inwardly, but on the surface he remained polite and smiled kindly at the girl Sally.
Perhaps she hadn't been treated this way for a long time. The girl was so flustered by Tang Qi's smile that her face covered by black-rimmed glasses turned as red as blood. She almost wanted to stick her head into her chest.
Fortunately, at this time, an unkempt old man who looked like a teacher walked in.
Without ceremony or roll call, the old man just glanced at the few sparse students and started lecturing on his own.
"Today is the first day of school, so I will start with a whole new set of content, recording the files of all the monsters killed by several holy warriors of the Holy Eagle Federation - [Monster Files]. The full text of this book can be borrowed from the Massey Library."
"Now let me dictate the first chapter to you. The great axeman Justice Lincoln killed a monster in the Jersey Swamp. It was shaped like a giant bat with a dog's head and a horse's face..."
Just listening to a few sentences, Tang Qi understood why there was such a strange course.
If he guessed correctly, this should be a historical legacy issue.
St. Thorn High School was originally a church school, naturally promoting the greatness of God and faith, and some brainwashing education was necessary.
The so-called Monster Files were secondary. More importantly, the warriors belonging to God in them, under the guidance of faith, killed the monsters.
With the advancement of modern civilization, such courses were naturally abandoned. Maybe they would be abolished soon.
Tang Qi's original body was religious, but unfortunately, today's Tang Qi did not believe.
Although the old man talked eloquently, Tang Qi's focus was on the descriptions of those monsters.
After listening for a long time, a wonderful feeling emerged in his mind.
Real!
That's right, it's a sense of reality.
According to the old calendar of the Holy Eagle Federation 1841, Mrs. Leeds in Jersey gave birth to her thirteenth child. She was very dissatisfied with being pregnant again and again, so she shouted aloud: "I'm tired of children! Let the devil take him away!"
The words had just fallen, and the baby immediately turned into a winged monster, quickly ate Mrs. Leeds' other children, and then flew away from the chimney.
This legend sounds very absurd to ordinary people, but for some reason, when it fell into Tang Qi's ears, it gave him an extremely strange sense of reality.
Shaking his head to suppress the strange feeling.
Tang Qi continued to listen to the old man's story of the second monster, the "Snow Monster in the Deep Mountains". The protagonist this time was the Holy Gun Warrior Morogan.
...
Time passed quickly. In Tang Qi's reluctant expression, the class bell rang.
The old man had no intention of dragging on at all, even though he had just reached the critical point. He rolled up his books and left the classroom like the wind. The few students in the classroom who were not many also got up lazily and left.
Tang Qi also got up while putting the "Massey Library" on the list of places he was about to visit.
The last class was over. Tang Qi, with his books, followed the boys and girls out as when he came in.
Although it was the first day, overall it met Tang Qi's expectations.
Apart from the unpleasantness at the beginning, Tang Qi integrated perfectly into St. Thorn High School and achieved the effect he wanted. Who would care about an ordinary male student?
Unfortunately, as soon as this satisfaction arose, it was immediately destroyed.
Because as soon as Tang Qi walked out of the teaching building, he felt a malicious intent. He looked up directly, saw through some obstacles, and sure enough saw a few sturdy youths in the distance on the lawn, all Caucasians. The leader was the captain of the Ancient Sword Team that Tang Qi had deterred before.
After spending a day at school, Tang Qi also knew who those two big shots were.
As he had imagined, there was no difference. The girl named Angela was the head cheerleader of St. Thorn High School. Her father was a councilor and her mother was a lawyer. She had an outstanding family, a hot figure, a pretty face and a mean personality.
The Caucasian youth Ryan Kruni's father was a tycoon, his mother was the school trustee and director of Massey Hospital. He himself was the captain of the high school basketball team, the captain of the ancient fencing team, and the president of the boxing club. He was the perfect boyfriend in the eyes of all the female students.
For an ordinary student, facing such a big shot, flattering was not enough, let alone offending them.
Tang Qi had offended both of them at the same time.
What was about to be staged was probably the drama of not leaving after school and group fight.
If Tang Qi was really a hormone-crazy teenager, he would be interested in participating, but unfortunately he was not.
Tang Qi was a little headache. He was not worried that he would be beaten up by a few high school students, although his original body had average physical qualities. However, some combat techniques he learned from Old Morgan's diary seemed very useful.
It's just that those techniques were all quite ferocious.
Tang Qi hesitated, suddenly a familiar figure walked over from the side, messy golden hair swept past Tang Qi's nose, and a pleasant and very weak voice came: "Come with me."
After finishing speaking, she passed through the side passage of the teaching building and went to a secluded corner.
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, and followed without hesitation.
