Chapter 14 “Activated?” Su Bei raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise. He had almost forgotten he still had a forum account. This was good news for him. A forum account would allow him to take the initiative and steer discussions in the forum. He was instantly interested: "Can I log in directly through the forum?" “Manga Awareness” confirmed: “Yes, but since it’s a new account, you’ll need to give yourself a name.” Although it was an anonymous forum, to prevent people from deliberately stirring up trouble, each account had its own username, which would be displayed when posting or commenting. Usernames could be changed every three months, which was three months in the real world, but in the manga world, it was unclear how much time that would translate to. So he had to be careful in choosing a name. Logging into the forum and entering the personal homepage interface, Su Bei thought for a while and finally decided on his name—“Prophet.” The next morning at eight o’clock, all the students in Class F were seated in the classroom, waiting for the teacher to give them their first lesson. Despite being very curious about the contents of the manga, Su Bei didn't have the courage to play on his phone during the first class of the new semester. He turned off his phone and listened attentively. When the class bell rang, a refined-looking female teacher with glasses walked in.Visitt for the latest updates She stepped onto the podium and said, “Happy new semester, everyone. I’m your Theoretical Abilities class teacher, Zhou Minwen. You can call me Teacher Zhou. Since we have a quiz at the end of the month, we won’t waste any time and will start the first lesson directly.” As she spoke, she wrote several large characters on the blackboard: “What exactly are abilities?” Seeing that the lesson was officially starting, Su Bei also got serious. Unless one could afford a private tutor who was an ability user, this content was usually only taught in ability academies. Although it seemed like a theoretical class that wasn’t very practical, like all theoretical courses, listening to it might seem useless, but not listening would definitely cause big problems. The teacher continued: “Regarding the question I wrote on the blackboard, I’m sure everyone has had many guesses after awakening their abilities. Now, I will call on a few students to answer. This is also a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other.” The nightmare of being called on in school struck. Those who knew the answer were confident, while those who didn’t were nervous, afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of the whole class. Perhaps due to plot inertia, the first person called on was Jiang Tianming. After experiencing the adventure before the school started, he had a deep understanding of abilities. Coupled with the tutoring from the Lan family, he easily answered the teacher’s question: “It’s a type of energy within the human body.” The first student called on gave the correct answer, saving some time. Teacher Zhou was pleased: “Correct, Jiang Tianming, is that your name? Have you studied this subject beforehand?” Jiang Tianming nodded honestly. The teacher didn’t mind. She knew many students had learned about abilities in various ways before school started. After signaling him to sit down, she continued: “Abilities are indeed a type of energy within our bodies. We develop this energy to enhance our abilities. Here’s a key point: this energy is something every human possesses.” After saying this, she paused to give everyone time to react. As expected, many students who hadn’t studied in advance were surprised. They thought only those who had awakened abilities had this energy. “If everyone has it, why have only we awakened abilities?” a more impatient student raised his hand and asked. Behind him, Feng Lan’s face rarely showed a bit of a complex expression, “Could it be him...” In the bathroom stall, Su Bei turned on his phone and opened the app. Sure enough, the manga had updated. Taking a deep breath, he opened it without hesitation. [The manga started at the school gate, with a red banner reading “Happy Start of School to First-Year Students!” Students in school uniforms walked into the school in groups of threes and twos, their faces full of longing and expectation. Awakening abilities and joining an ability academy was undoubtedly an exciting journey for these young people.] From reading the first part, Su Bei knew that this manga artist was very skilled. With just a few characters, the artist managed to fill readers with anticipation for the start of school. Sure enough, the real-time comments were filled with excitement. If these comments weren’t restricted to the top of the screen, they would probably cover it entirely. [In the next scene, the three main characters, Jiang Tianming and his friends, appeared in blue school uniforms. The manga versions of them were very similar to their real-life counterparts, creating a strange sense of dissonance. They briefly recapped their experiences from the end of the last manga to the start of school, using just a few panels for the flashback. After connecting to the previous storyline, the main characters finally entered the school building. Since Wu Mingbai wasn’t in the same class as the other two, they reluctantly parted ways. Of course, only the drama king Wu Mingbai was reluctant, while Jiang Tianming and Lan Su Bing were used to it and looked indifferent. Notably, throughout the journey, there were narrative thoughts beside Lan Su Bing’s head. She silently criticized the boys’ outfits, the ‘Happy Start of School’ banner, and their antics during the summer vacation, and now she was criticizing Wu Mingbai’s exaggerated acting. Looking at her silent and beautiful exterior, who would have thought her inner thoughts were so rich? Next, the classmates began to arrive. Su Bei focused on observing, particularly on who got special close-ups in the manga. It was obvious that characters with close-ups were likely to be important later. As expected, Feng Lan got a close-up. This was Su Bei’s first time seeing him in the manga. White hair and golden eyes , his handsome face, which perfectly matched the preferences of the audience, occupied an entire panel. Lan Su Bing’s narrative thoughts fittingly appeared beside him: “What a handsome guy!” It wasn’t until Feng Lan went to the last seat and laid down to sleep that the manga’s camera shifted to the next person.] There were many comments on this part, with everyone praising Feng Lan’s looks and the high quality of the characters this season. The first student to introduce himself, Zhao Xiaoyu, the first to run in the lap, Mu Tieren, and the one who ran last, Wu Jin, all got minor panels. But upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were drawn more meticulously than others, albeit subtly. Su Bei noticed this because he had already realized these three might be special. If nothing unexpected happened, they were probably important characters!
