Chapter 880: Chapter 868 The Arrangent is Clear and Unambiguous
“Those who scored full marks, more than half of them are probably like , having sneaked in disguised as elentary school students to take the test,” Edmans thought to himself,
“What’s the purpose of such an arrangent from above? It seems utterly aningless, but the thought process of those big figures up there must be different from a little dragon like .
Just like the order to transform the city and subrge it underground that was opposed by the dragons in the previous years, it turned out that the commands issued by the United War Departnt were completely correct. With the attraction of these Underground Palaces, on the Senapus Subcontinent, the number of humans alone has already increased a hundredfold.”
…
“Class dismissed!” Amidst the beautiful sound of the end-of-class bell, the history teacher with white-grey hair announced the end of the class, and the elentary students who had received a brief mont of freedom rushed out of the classrooms in an orderly manner.
“Aeolus, let’s go ho together!” Next to Aeolus, who was packing his bag, a few exquisitely adorable little girls gathered around, inviting Aeolus to go ho with them.
In Class 23, or rather, in the entire grade, Aeolus was the object of affection for many little girls. Even though his power was sealed, his appearance and the natural aura that emanated from him had a fatal attraction to the opposite sex.
“Sure!” Aeolus nodded in agreent with a smile to the many little girls who claid to be on the sa way ho as him, displaying an unusually gentle deanor.
…
“Boring guy!” Aeolus’s unusual behavior was naturally noticed by his classmate, Edmans, who was also one of the Academic Overlords. In his eyes, Aeolus must be like him, assigned a school credit mission.
Because such attractiveness to the opposite sex had exceeded the limits of charm a normal person could possess. After all, these were still underaged little girls,
“Isn’t he afraid of being caught by the Inspection Departnt? To harbor thoughts about young girls, that’s asking to be flayed and deboned.”
Edmans muttered under his breath. To be honest, he wanted to go up and ask his brother what he was thinking. Still, due to the confidentiality agreent he had signed before accepting the assignnt, he was not allowed to have too much interaction with other entities in this school. If he violated it, he would be penalized by deducting ten tis the credits, a punishnt he could not afford.
…
“Won, such a hassle!” Standing at the gate of his own ho, Aeolus waved his hand toward the dozens of classmates who had escorted him ho. After watching them leave, he sighed with feigned worry, adopting the appearance of a little adult, “It’s all because my charm is just too overwhelming! Alas!”
After straightening his clothes, Aeolus turned to look at his ho, a three-story mansion. His family was considered middle-class in the entire Holy Fla City—not rich, but not poor either. And he was just an ordinary, high-achieving elentary student, albeit with a bit of a special twist.
“I’m back!” Aeolus pushed open the gate of his ho, and the aroma of food wafted to his nose. The ravenous child shouted into the inside to announce his return to his parents.
“Dad, the results of last week’s language test ca out.” Aeolus entered the living room and carefully called out to his father.
“Hmm!” The young man in a long gown put down the book in his hand and pushed up the crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose to look at his son standing before him, his expression neutral, “How many points did you score?”
“Full marks!”
“Not bad, that’s a normal performance!” the young man affird with an approving tone, “How many got full marks in the whole grade?”
“52!”
“Oh, it seems the difficulty of the test paper wasn’t high!” The young man nodded, “Then you mustn’t be proud, keep it up, and don’t fall behind.”
“Yes!” Aeolus nodded obediently. He didn’t argue with his father about how difficult the test paper he had taken was because that would be pointless, other than giving his father an excuse to punish him by making him recite so abstruse and difficult articles.
“Let’s eat!” The young man gestured to the dining room. In the kitchen, a gentle golden-haired young woman had already brought one prepared dish after another to the table.
“Yes!”
After the al, Aeolus went upstairs under the watchful eye of his young parents for a short rest, to prepare for the afternoon’s lessons. The curriculum at Holy Fla Elentary School was very demanding.
“Muria, do you find it amusing to suppress your son like this?” With her golden hair done up and the deanor of a gentle young woman, Michaela watched her son climb the stairs and with a wave of her hand cleaned the dishes,
She looked at Muria, who was reading the newspaper, and took out the language test result sheet for the fifth grade of Holy Fla Elentary School, which she had acquired as soon as it was available.
“Out of the 52 who scored full marks on the test, 49 were your arrangent. It’s always like this every ti.”
“Hm? There are two who scored full marks, not part of my arrangent?” Upon hearing Michaela’s words, Muria was taken aback for a mont, then quickly grasped the main point, “Next ti we test, I’ll instruct them to raise the difficulty a bit further.”
“Muria!” Michaela said, sowhat irritated by Muria’s comnt, “Can’t you let your son truly enjoy the glory of being the top student of his grade, just once?”
“Isn’t he the top student of his grade now?” Muria responded dismissively.
“But he is tied with no fewer than 51 others.”
“Isn’t that quite good? He will not develop any arrogance but will instead devote himself fully to his studies to maintain his current results.”
“His first place was achieved through his hard work in his daily studies, but this effort of his is not being duly rewarded! Don’t you think what you are doing is excessive?”
“I have only sealed away most of his bloodline powers, so currently useless inheritance, and the mories from his infancy. I haven’t sealed his intelligence! With the mory and IQ that he possesses, along with the inheritance he receives daily, isn’t it only right that he ranks first in the tests?” Muria countered.
“But Aeolus has also worked hard, and effort should be rewarded!”
“All of this is for his own good. Being at the top alone for too long will inevitably lead to arrogance. This boy has been first in every test; if I don’t ddle a little, won’t his tail start wagging to the heavens?”
Muria, equally helpless, put down the newspaper in his hands and explained to his wife, drawing on lessons from the past.
Back when he was in the Titan Islands, before heading to the Titan Clan Lands, he lived among a group of giants and even raised a bunch of dragons. Back then, he was invincible in battle. Giants a full rank higher than him could not defeat him. In such circumstances, he developed a sense of arrogance, which was not good.
Pride is one of the original sins. For many beings with astonishing talents, they can resist greed, jealousy, wrath, and sloth, but they find it hard to overco the pride that arises from their own excellence. This is determined by the environnt around them.
“What cos next?”
“Naturally, we proceed according to plan!” Muria said with a confident air, “The ti has co for the massive underground maze beneath Holy Fla City to appear.”
“Aeolus is only ten years old, and you’re already planning to throw him into the maze?”
“No, it’s not yet ti. Let the people from other subcontinents explore the Holy Fla Labyrinth for a while. When Aeolus starts middle school, then I’ll send him in. He needs to find so small gifts I’ve prepared for him inside.”
…
“Ding-a-ling-ling!” The piercing sound of the magic-guided bell rang out, startling the sleeping children from their afternoon nap. Aeolus yawned and turned off the noisy alarm.
“Hmm!” The child rubbed his slightly swollen forehead, feeling the addition of so knowledge in his mind, which was part of his bloodline inheritance mory. He knew this because his father had told him.
Aeolus knew that his parents were not ordinary humans. They carried extraordinary bloodline inheritance, and as their offspring, he too carried so special bloodline traits, setting him apart from his peers.
However, he did not take pride in this, because his father had told him that there were many others like him. After starting elentary school, Aeolus realized that many of his classmates, as his father had described, also possessed powerful extraordinary bloodlines. In comparison, Aeolus found himself quite ordinary as he discovered that he did not display any outstanding extraordinary attributes.
Based on these observations, although his father had not explicitly said so, Aeolus deduced from his own knowledge and experience that his inherited bloodline must be very diluted, which is why he had not gained any special powers, only so knowledge that occasionally surfaced in his mind.
“It’s ti to go to school!” Rubbing his temples, Aeolus got out of bed and prepared to head to school.
“Dad, Mom, I’m off to school!” Aeolus called out as he was about to leave.
“Okay!”
“Be careful on your way.”
Muria and Michaela played their roles perfectly—as a modest couple with a bit of extraordinary power, very ordinary, very average. In Holy Fla City, families like theirs were not in the thousands, then in the thousands.
“Safe? Hmm!” Muria glanced over to watch his son, who had just left the gate, and smiled.
Holy Fla City was one of the first key cities built as part of the Xena Pus Ten-Year Thousand Cities Plan. Resident applicants desiring to live in this city had to go through a preliminary application and be approved before they gained the privilege to reside there.
Sanctified warriors who once battled demons and evil creatures, peace-loving Elves, smithing-loving mountain Dwarves, Humans with sacred bloodlines… This eastern core city, highly advanced in magic technology, was filled with residents carefully chosen by a certain father.
