Chapter 1 High School Students Living on the Rooftop 1
Bang!!!
With clouds of smoke, Mars burst out of a towering building floor.
Yes!!!
Flying glass shards scattered from the sky, and with the more violent roar, the frightened pedestrians screamed and quickly fled from this position.
This kind of sudden phenomenon is actually not common in Z City, after all, peace is the benchmark of Z City. None of the people in the city want to be in this environment in their daily lives.
But there are always two sides to things, there is no hope, and naturally there will be hope.
It is a dangerous profession, and they, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, like to run around in this dangerous situation.
The so-called battlefield in their mouth is to squeeze through the gimmick of competing for the head and produce attractive big news, and then they can change their status and value in the company.
So no matter where it is, what major things are happening, they will rush to the scene as soon as possible, and then analyze the current situation to the audience in front of the screen.
And here this they... It's the journalist that's being referred to!
"Now let's make a news. β
"Today, there was an unprecedented explosion in the department store in Z City, and the cause of the incident is still under investigation, but according to what we can witness now, the location of the explosion is on the seventeenth floor of the department store. β
"It's the power zone of the department store, which is mainly responsible for the power supply of the entire building, and this explosion is likely to be caused by an electrical disorder, but as we all know, the safety measures for this electricity are very sufficient, but still..."
The woman in uniform, holding the microphone in her hand, explained to the man carrying the camera in front of her, and scattered the hurried and panicked crowd, which did not affect her appearance in the slightest.
Drip ~ Woo ~ ~ Drip ~ Woo ~ ~ Drop ~ Woo ~~
At this moment, the sirens of more than a dozen fire trucks came from a distance, getting closer and closer, until the side of the road on the floor quickly stopped, and then dozens of guards in police uniforms came down from it.
"It's... It seems impossible to extinguish the fire... Everyone listened to me, one team stayed to evacuate the people on the ground, and the others, followed me into the department store to save those who didn't have time to escape. β
"Yes!"
A team of guards received the captain's order and immediately began to evacuate the scattered crowd on the ground.
The rest of the guards rushed into the department store the moment they got out of the car.
"Look!" The reporter pointed in his hand, and the camera then turned to the direction of the guard, "It's the Z City Guard, they are worthy of the people's police of our Z City, this kind of thing just happened in the business district of Z City, and they rushed over at the first time, and they really deserve to be the guardians of peace in our Z City..."
The vast fire, the smoke lingering up, so thick that the whole Z city can see the strange situation happening here.
At present, due to the loss of power in the building, all the elevators are paralyzed and cannot be used, so that a large number of people are trapped inside the floor of the building.
Although there is a stairwell, the door has been sealed due to the fact that there is no jurisdiction for many years.
After all, this is the era of mechanization, and if you can go upstairs without much effort, why do you need to use the corridor? This is why people can't go downstairs after such a power outage.
"Damn, Captain, the door to this staircase is blocked, how are we going to get up. The guards came to the door of the stairwell and pushed hard against the dusty iron doorway.
The man known as the captain looked at the door coldly, and then glanced at the guard beside him and scolded: "Are you in the water? What should I do?
Bang!!!
The vibration of the explosion inside was much deeper than outside the level, and this explosion was obviously much more terrifying than before.
"You're a girl!" The captain scolded when he saw this form, took out a piece of miniature clay from his waist, and decisively glued it to the door, and then took out the remote control in his hand and pressed it, and the entire iron door instantly disappeared. (Note: This is a modified clay with concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and concentrated nitric acid (HNO?) Because of a certain mechanism, the volume of this point can be enhanced by dozens of times the dissolving power, and it can even remain active, so it can be stored and used)
"Come in with me and remember our mission: human life first. β
"Yes!"
The fire was spreading, and the seventeenth floor was tilted under the explosion.
But fortunately, on the fifteenth floor of this department store, there is no sign of people, just the placement of some facilities and the accumulation of sundries.
The guards were very efficient, and in a short time they gathered all the people on all floors into the stairwell.
Under the coordinated control of the guards, the crowd escaped from the building in an orderly and fast manner.
"I... What about my child? What about my child? I'm going to save him!" A middle-aged woman cried out in panic, and she, who had just been rescued, immediately turned around and wanted to rush back.
After this move was discovered by the guards, they directly forcibly stopped it.
"No, my child is still inside, I can't live without him, let me in! let me in!!" the woman yelled frantically as she tried to break free from the guards' grasp.
"No! This building could collapse at any moment, we can't let you take this risk! You'd better evacuate to a safe place for me!" the captain finished speaking, and then looked at the woman's lost appearance and stepped forward directly, "As for the child... Just leave it to me. β
When the guards heard this, they immediately looked back at the captain, and said in disbelief: "But the captain is now in this building...!"
"No, but, obey the order, quickly evacuate with this mother, remember that human life comes first. β
"Please, save my childβ" The woman stopped rushing out and looked up at the captain, her eyes full of pleading.
"Tell me, you were separated on a few floors before. The captain asked, his voice softer.
"Ten... Twelfth floor. β
"Twelfth floor?"
As he spoke, the man in the dark blue police uniform had just come out of the department store and turned back.
His speed at this time is like an arrow off the string, this is his desperate race against time, after all, no one knows what will happen in this building in the next second.
"Twelfth floor... Twelfth floor..."
Seeing the old numbers in the stairwell grow, the captain stopped breathlessly at the gate on the twelfth floor, as he vaguely heard a cry.
Woo... Whining...
It's a child!" The captain's eyes lit up, and he took out a flashlight from his waist and ran directly towards the source of the sound.
Sure enough, in the dark corner of the floor, the captain found a crying child.
He happily picked up the child, and then turned around and ran towards the stairwell without the slightest stop, and kept patting the child in his hand to comfort: "Don't be afraid, uncle will save you out." β
"Captain... It's okay, this floor... It's going to fall when you look at it. The guards, who had already evacuated to the distance, looked at the abnormal floor and sweated for their captain.
"He's our captain, we have something to do, he can't be okay," one of the team members comforted as he patted the former on the shoulder.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the department store began to twist and was about to fall to the ground.
"You were born a crow!
The hearts of all the guards in the audience rose to their throats at this moment, and the middle-aged woman also grew her mouth.
Sweat fills each of their palms as if it can't be stopped: accidents are always unpredictable.
"Oops!"
"Captain !!"
Call......
Wind, breeze, strong wind.
Suddenly, time seemed to stand still, and the wind that appeared out of thin air rushed from behind the crowd, and then, past them, swooped directly in the direction of the floor where it was about to fall.
Yes!!!
This movement attracted everyone's attention.
They are not unfamiliar with this sudden wind, but very familiar with it!
Hopefully, that's what the crowd sees.
"That's... Is that... Ability !! students of the Academy of Abilities !!"
The crowd shouted, but the wind had already stopped the floor that was about to collapse in mid-air, and there were suddenly more people in the air on that floor.
He was dressed in a pale yellow uniform with a badge of a pentagram on his chest, and around him, the wind seemed to dance around him, giving the impression of a goblin.
"Look at !! and look at it!!" The reporter excitedly pointed to the person with the ability in the air, and the camera was also zooming in on the figure, "That's the person from the Academy of Abilities!..."
Drip!
In the Strange Ability High School, on the roof of the teaching building, in a simple tent, the long-haired man who covered his face directly turned off the black and white TV that had been eliminated for many centuries. He stretched his waist and complained in an extremely lazy voice: "It's been 3015 years, how can there be such a tofu scum project... And how this student union and these people are all love guys who come out at a critical moment... Wouldn't it be over sooner... Really, the quality of the news is really poor right now. β
He got up, left the somewhat cluttered tent, and stood on the rooftop in the same light yellow school uniform as the one with the ability, and looked up at the distant but somewhat inclined building in his sight.
A gust of wind blew in his direction from that direction, blowing his black hair to reveal a face with heavy dark circles, and above that circle was a pair of tarnished stars, but they couldn't take their eyes off the front.
He is not so handsome, the corners of his mouth suddenly opened an arc, and the smile was a little bitter, he raised his hand and touched his hair and said, "Well, it seems... It's time for a haircut..."
April 5, 2998 was seventeen years ago, but it was a very deep day for anyone in the earthly realm.
Natural Disaster [Giver], this is the name given by later generations to the meteorite that suddenly appeared from the wormhole at that time.
Its arrival, perfectly avoiding the detection of any scientific facilities in the realm, appeared in the sky above Z City like this.
Z City, which had a population of up to one million at the time, even if it was the first to notice the danger, it was impossible for it to escape from this place in an instant under such a large-scale devastating attack.
So... Millions of people are under this meteorite from the sky... Dead!!
"Human beings are small", how vividly this sentence is said.
The entire city was flattened by the devastating impact, and even Hell did not appear, but went straight into nothingness.
However, after all the witnesses thought that this was the end, they were shocked to find that this was just the beginning...
The meteorite fell to the ground and did not stop its farce. In the short hours that followed... Strange evaporation! A strange change in the sky! A dandelion-like white point of light appeared out of thin air! And then spread out towards the world...
[Descendants], that's what they (humans) call those dandelions.
The [descendant] will choose the host, and the person who is contaminated by the [descendant] will have the ability, which is the [ability] of the later name.
Each person who is contaminated with [Descendants] has different abilities, some are strong and some are weak.
No one knows how many people possessed the ability after the [Descendants] spread at that time.
However, in 2970, after the end of the war of the century, the peace agreement signed by the five countries did fall apart under this abrupt situation.
[Humans are terrible creatures]
That's right, once people have the power to change the world, no one wants to be limited to that...
So...
The Demon War began on a snowy night in 2998.
The ability to destroy the world, which was more awe-inspiring than those mechs, began to ripple through the waters, and after three years of battle, everyone, all innocent ordinary people, seemed to feel more and more insignificant about their existence after the emergence of such absolute power.
There is rarely a unity among the five countries.
Finally... Three years later, on a summer night, everything... It was finally suppressed by the strongest mecha army and powerful abilities led by the man named God of War in the Great War of the Century.
Of course, the suppression is only temporary, and everyone knows very well that even if they are high-ranking officials, they are just mortals anyway, and in front of the capable, they are just like ants.
As a result, the five-nation meeting came up with a solution that had to be recognized -- coexistence.
But in the end, this word was still difficult to let go of their vigilance, so this Academy of Abilities was established, and the relevant entry of the capable was created, and even a legal treaty was specially formulated for them.
The problem of the coexistence of ordinary humans and those with the same abilities was not resolved until this discussion.
However, the conditions for the Academy of Abilities to accept students are only limited to people between the ages of 5 and 23, and those who are capable before the age of 5 will basically be arranged to grow up in a special research institute, and until they are old enough, they will be guaranteed to be sent to the Academy of Abilities for education, of course, this education is a free mechanism.
After the age of 23, they will be forced to take office, whether they want to or not, and this is also a matter of ensuring the specific location of each ability, and the problem of stopping random bursts of abilities as quickly as possible.
This kind of situation has been mentioned countless times by many people who like reasoning, such as "This state of affairs is only temporary, and with the accumulation of time, the capable person will sooner or later explode, and then turn the entire realm upside down." β
Of course, for this lazy high school student on the rooftop, these outbursts do not have anything to do with him "at this time".
"Night Three!"
"Huh?" Yasan didn't turn his head right away, but slowly climbed down from the rooftop.
However, from this rare delicate and soft male voice, he could more or less guess who the comer was.
"The proposal I mentioned earlier to join our student council..."
"I said Yu Zhiwei," the voice sounded again, but was interrupted by Ye San's wry smile.
He turned his head slightly to look at the man in front of him who was two heads taller than him, "Don't you chase me and let me go?" I'm just an incompetent, I don't even have the ability to scum, it's very difficult to survive in this academy, don't embarrass me if you have a lot of adults... Okay, no?"
Yu Zhiwei maintained his smile that moved all the girls in the school, as if he was ignoring Yesan's pleading gesture: "Yesan, what do you say about the student union is also the easiest place to make money in our Ability High School, you look at the five insurances and one housing fund, three days off every month, and a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, are you really not excited?"
Ye San's face twitched, he was speechless, how come none of the people in the student union are serious, pulling people can become the same sense of dΓ©jΓ vu as selling products. He held his face in his palm, shook his head, and then turned to open the door of the stairwell next to him, ignoring the guy's walk.
"Hey, don't go! If you join the student union now, I will guarantee in my name and give you a one-stop full service!" Yu Zhiwei shouted at Ye San's back from behind, just like buying vegetables in a vegetable market.
Yesan sneered, he wouldn't know what a dragon in this guy's mouth was?
He walked down the teaching building very slowly, and then spent half an hour casually running to the barber shop at the door to cut his hair at random.
"It's ok. Looking at himself in the mirror, he said lightly.
At half past two on Monday afternoon, this time was supposed to be class time, but Ye San was suspended for two weeks because he slept in a certain 'demon teacher's class in a row last week, and now there are eight days left, and he feels bad luck thinking about it.
Mutter...
At the empty and spacious school gate, Yesan touched his stomach and muttered, "... Alas, it's going to be another trip. β
The Academy is divided into four districts (Elementary District, Middle School District, High School District, and University District).
And where Night Three is located is the high school district - Ability High School.
This area was built in the middle of a forest with ancient trees, so the general outline is strange. For example, the location where Yesan is located now is at the gate of the Ability High School, and there are two ravines on his right, but beyond these two ravines, you can reach the back door of the cafeteria in the most straight line.
But if you go to the front, you need to turn back twice to get around to the cafeteria located in the innermost part of the Ability High School, you know, the distance between the teaching building at the end of the left hand of the night three and the cafeteria is the farthest, do you think about the bitter tears of the students after lunchtime, running to the cafeteria to eat and then running back to class?
Yesan didn't know who designed this high school, otherwise he would have rushed to say hello to his family.
"Bear with me, it's coming soon. Yesan touched his stomach and said as if he was comforting a child.
Then, his body moved, and he directly aimed at the low mountain in his right hand and rushed straight up.
