“Do girls these days all like Su Su?”
Bai Nian glanced at the clothes laid out on the bed—blue and white school uniform, no different from what she remembered, utterly unremarkable.
The clothes were old, but very clean.
As for the underwear, it was a whole set made of black pure cotton fabric.
Bai Nian struggled for quite a while with her hands behind her back before finally managing to get dressed.
“I feel like I’m doing this wrong?”
She got out of bed with a hint of doubt on her face.
Her legs still felt a bit weak, but it didn’t affect her movement.
Only now did she realize that girls didn’t have CDs…
Bai Nian tidied up her messy hair, did a quick wash, and then looked at herself in the mirror.
The reflection showed a delicate face, willow leaf-shaped eyebrows that were slightly furrowed, cherry-like lips naturally red, and long white hair that fell like silk over her shoulders.
Her skin was fairer than snow, seemingly melting at a touch.
Even wearing the school uniform, her perfect figure was subtly visible.
She looked like a lotus blooming out of the water, radiating an elegant and refreshing aura.
But the most striking feature was her eyes: the left one a bright amber, the right one a deep sapphire blue—like two shining gemstones.
“Gemstone Eyes?!”
Bai Nian stared at herself in the mirror, a bit dazed.
She felt like the heroine had just stepped out of an anime.
“The Goddess of No Makeup, my ideal type…”
The corner of her mouth couldn’t help but water.
I really want to snuggle with myself…
Hehehe…
“Ahhh, I’m so beautiful!!!”
Suddenly, Bai Nian shouted loudly in the bathroom before reluctantly turning away.
Because of the special nature of this world, as a senior about to graduate, there were no exams anymore.
Instead, they had to undergo the Awakening Ceremony.
If you awakened a good profession, you could enter the University Academy for further studies; if you awakened a poor one, you would have to enter society early.
But what kind of profession you awakened was not something you could decide.
This world valued talent above all else.
That was why Bai Nian found this world interesting.
As a Transmigrator, she was confident she would stand out from the crowd.
She briefly flipped through the textbooks on the desk—not the usual Chinese, Math, or English, but all professional books like
[How Vocational Careers Benefit Society],
[Detailed Guide to Known National Fate Instances], and
[History of the New Era].
“Boring.”
Bai Nian pouted, slinging her empty school bag on her back as she headed to school.
“It’s Graduation Season; who still reads books?”
The gentle morning sunlight fell on her as she welcomed her new beginning.
Tianmu City Third High School—the worst high school in the city.
Class 3, Grade 12.
The classroom was already filled with students when Bai Nian entered, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
Their gazes were either mocking or indifferent, but they quickly averted their eyes.
Bai Nian didn’t care; this was nothing new in her life.
Instead, her eyes settled on the last row.
A group was gathered around a girl, talking loudly.
Their hair was dyed in bright, flashy colors—obviously not model students.
That girl was Su Su, the school’s little boss, who had bullied Bai Nian plenty over the past three years.
The people surrounding Su Su overlapped with the scene in Bai Nian’s dream—they were the ones who pushed her into the artificial lake!
So that’s how it was.
Bai Nian walked straight to her seat.
Su Su and her group stopped their discussion the moment Bai Nian appeared, watching her with great interest.
“Do you think she’ll sit down?”
“I bet she’ll stand.”
“Maybe she’ll squat on the floor and cry.”
At Bai Nian’s seat, the desk was smeared with a disgusting mixture of Chocolate Sauce and Lao Gan Die, already partly hardened.
Inside the desk was a dead Crow.
Black feathers and dripping blood filled the compartment, filling the air with a stench of decay.
Even the desktop was covered with insulting words written in marker.
Pretty.
The classmates seemed to be waiting for her to become a joke.
A teasing smile curled on Bai Nian’s lips.
She casually tossed her school bag on the ground, grabbed her water cup, and walked straight toward the back row, twisting open the lid as she went.
“So, showing mercy now?”
Su Su sneered from her chair upon seeing this.
Bai Nian didn’t reply, instead pouring the warm water from her thermos over Su Su’s head.
Splash—
Su Su instantly became a drenched rat, her face shocked.
Just as she wanted to explode, Bai Nian grabbed her hair tightly, and her head uncontrollably collided with the desk in front of her.
Bang!
The loud noise echoed throughout the classroom, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Su Su instinctively held her forehead, tears shimmering in her eyes, shouting angrily, “Kill her for me!”
The stunned lackeys were momentarily speechless.
Once they regained their senses, they swarmed forward.
Bai Nian was not one to back down.
She smashed the water cup into a boy’s head and kicked a nearby girl in the stomach.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The loud clashing sound of palms hitting the classroom door’s metal echoed from the entrance.
“What’s going on? Which class are you from?!”
The Homeroom Teacher’s angry voice rang out. Both sides stopped immediately.
The outsiders from another class quickly slunk out the back door, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Bai Nian from the window as they left.
“Everyone, sit down.”
The Homeroom Teacher glanced coldly without saying more.
He wasn’t a good person either.
He never cared about anything unless it happened right under his nose.
Of course, at this worst high school, all the teachers lived on their fixed salaries, and their attitude was generally like this.
It only made the “80 phenomenon” worse and worse.
Deaths in the bathroom and jungle warfare were common occurrences.
Bai Nian regretted that she was a girl now; otherwise, those guys would all be lying flat on the ground.
She didn’t return to her own seat but sat down in an empty one not far from Su Su.
The Homeroom Teacher cleared his throat twice.
“Quiet down, I’ll say a few words.”
“First, congratulations to everyone for entering Graduation Season. No matter if you’re going to the University Academy or stepping into society, I wish you all to find your own path.”
“Today is your last day at school. After participating in the Awakening Ceremony this morning, you can leave campus.”
Hearing this, the class erupted in excitement.
Everyone had long wanted to get out of this broken school.
“Quiet!”
The Homeroom Teacher said impatiently.
“Those who awaken a Yellow-tier profession or above have a chance to be admitted to the University Academy, but it depends on the number of people awakening each year and their talent.”
“But don’t be discouraged. After returning home this afternoon, discuss with your family and try to apply for multiple options.”
“The University Academy is very helpful for improving your profession and talent and has access to more resources. Although the tuition is a bit expensive, I still recommend attending if possible.”
“Of course, it all depends on your family’s situation. If you have any questions about the University Academy, feel free to consult me.”
“All right, pack up and line up downstairs.”
As soon as the Homeroom Teacher finished, the students swarmed out excitedly like a hive.
Su Su in the last row stood up with a cold expression and looked toward Bai Nian.
“Bai Nian, just you wait!”
