Chapter 123 - Supers' Mandatory Education; Apostle Slot (1)

Chapter 123: Supers’ Mandatory Education; Apostle Slot (1)

“School?”

“That’s right. Every new Awakened need to undergo a certain duration of re-education before they can enter society…”

Feng Feng explained patiently.

Every year, there were an uncertain number of new Supers born on every colonial planet. If the country did not allow them to not receive any education, it would be too unstable for them to enter society so easily.

Society needed buffers, and people who suddenly obtained power also needed to be educated to establish the right mindset.

Therefore, many years ago, various countries established institutions such as the “Official Supers Academy” and “Official Supers Sanctuary.” They only recruited Supers and forced all newcomers to enter and undergo comprehensive and systematic training.

There were many subjects and complicated courses.

On the one hand, it was to teach new Supers how to properly use their abilities to contribute to society, to teach all the laws in a legal system that were related to Supers, and to teach the students the correct view of power. It was to educate them to be law-abiding and stable.

On the other hand, the Official Supers Academy was also responsible for guiding newbies on how to develop their own abilities and even tailor-make growth plans to teach supernatural knowledge that was not circulated among the public. Students were qualified to choose a subject according to their interests and choose their future growth direction and employment field.

Giving Supers a clear growth path and goal was better than them fumbling around blindly. One could imagine what would happen if they accidentally lost control one day and blew up the city…

This was also the country’s way of screening out those with potential. Through long-term observation, they could determine which were the high-quality Supers worth nurturing and send these fresh blood to various official organizations… This was also an important channel for Supers to join official organizations.

After all, even if one had the strength, it was not easy to apply to enter the official departments. The results during school were an important resume for the future employment of Supers. There were different requirements for applying to enter the various departments. Even if one had no intention of developing within the bureaucratic system, the results were still very useful for applying for a job in society.

“…The systems of various countries are different, and our Scarlet Nation Supers Academy usually has a two-year learning system. If you accumulate enough credits or perform extremely well, you can apply for an early graduation. If you want to further your studies, you can also postpone your graduation… And the Supers test can actually be considered part of the graduation test.”

Feng Feng smiled.

Zhou Jing understood. This was compulsory education for Supers.

It was inevitable that recently awakened Supers would be confused and end up taking the wrong path. It would be beneficial to the country, society, and even the Supers themselves if they could be thrown into a school to be whipped into shape.

After accepting two to three years of training as a buffer, the newcomers would then become used to a new life with power.

Zhou Jing was very interested in this.

Compared to working, going to school was more satisfying. Only then could he truly understand the Supers’ ecosystem in the main world.

“Then when do I start school?”

“Every three months, the academy will recruit new students. During this period, the registered Supers who have awakened will enter the same batch and become classmates. Because it’s based on the time of awakening, the ages of the same batch often differ greatly.”

Feng Feng paused for a moment before continuing.

“And the next time the academy recruits new people is in September.”

“So Li Xiaoyin and the others haven’t entered the school yet?” Zhou Jing pondered aloud.

“Yes. Before official admission, new Supers can only wait… Of course, they can also come to the Supers Bureau to train themselves or choose to undergo simple pre-school training.”

Zhou Jing nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Then if we want to emigrate, about the enrollment…”

Feng Feng smiled and explained, “If you have a plan to immigrate, then you won’t be enrolled on this planet. Instead, you will migrate to a new planet and enroll there to receive training.”

“Then I understand.”

Zhou Jing was enlightened.

The migration ship would set sail on September 19th. If they decided to migrate, they would not have to force themselves to enroll in the school in September. They could just board the ship directly. It was equivalent to delaying their enrollment.

Two years of further studies… This was actually quite good.

He had the astral travel function, so a more stable living environment was more suitable for him.

Moreover, there was no way to learn all kinds of supernatural knowledge that was strictly prohibited from circulating among the people in the outside world. Although he could travel through the astral realms, the foundation of the main world was also very deep. There was a lot of valuable knowledge that was worth learning.

Zhou Jing had long yearned to be part of the mysterious Supers circle.

He was looking forward to the two years of advanced studies provided by the country.

…

After completing the registration, Zhou Jing did not have to continue staying here. He picked up a few things and walked out of the Supers Bureau with Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun.

Zhao He also checked out today. He greeted the three of them at the entrance of the Supernatural Bureau before leaving on his own.

In the past three days, they had been living in close proximity; hence the three of them occasionally chatted with Zhao He, and they could be considered to barely be acquaintances.

Zhou Jing turned around to look at Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun.

“I’ll call Zhang Xiao and ask him to come over.”

After saying that, he took out his phone and dialed Zhang Xiao’s number.

The phone rang twice before it was answered.

“Hello, Zhou Jing?” Zhang Xiao’s voice sounded.

“Xiao, what have you been doing recently?”

“Nothing much. I’m just slacking off at work every day and going home to play games… Do you want to have a meal together?”

Zhou Jing smiled and said, “I have good news for you. I’ve recently awakened and registered as a Super.”

Zhang Xiao: “???”

What the hell? What did I just hear?

I’ve only been slacking off at work for a few days, but the world has changed so quickly?!

Zhang Xiao replied in a shocked voice, “You’ve awakened? Are you kidding me?!”

“I’m not joking. It really just happened.”

Hearing Zhou Jing’s calm tone, Zhang Xiao did not know what to say.

Hearing this shocking news, he was not mentally prepared at all. He was at a loss for words.

Zhou Jing listened to Zhang Xiao’s silent breathing and thought for a moment before suggesting.

“How about this? Come to the entrance of the Supers Bureau and look for me. Little Yin and Lingyun are also there. We’ll talk in detail.”

“Alright… I’ll be right there!”

Zhang Xiao hurriedly hung up.

Zhou Jing and the other two waited for a while before a round fatty appeared in the square, running over while panting. It was Zhang Xiao.

“Huhu… I’m here, brothers.”

Zhang Xiao stopped in front of the three of them, holding his knees and panting.

He couldn’t be bothered to catch his breath. He hurriedly pulled Zhou Jing, looking up and down, his face full of shock. “What’s going on? Zhou Jing, you’ve also become a Super? What’s going on?!”

“A natural awakening…” Zhou Jing repeated his previous reason.

After Zhang Xiao heard this, he looked at Zhou Jing’s Supers ID and completely believed him. He was pleasantly surprised.

“Brother, congratulations!”

Zhang Xiao was overjoyed and patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder.

Zhou Jing smiled and said directly, “I have a spot now. How about it? Come and help me?”

“Sure!” Zhang Xiao was overjoyed and immediately agreed. He continued, “In terms of price, I definitely won’t let you suffer a loss.”

“It’s fine. I’ll report your name first. You can just make up for it later.”

Zhou Jing nodded.

He knew Zhang Xiao’s personality. He had a strong ego and never wanted to take advantage of his friendships. During the last gathering, he had already shown his determination to pay.

If he handed over the assistant spot for free, he might think that it was charity and feel uncomfortable. In that case, Zhou Jing felt that he might as well accept some money as a token so that it would give him some peace of mind.

“Alright, I’ll go get the money later!”

Zhang Xiao repeatedly nodded in excitement.

During the last gathering, out of consideration for his friends, he withdrew from the competition for the spot and gave it to Xu Lingyun. He originally thought that he would not be able to become a Super anymore in his life.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jing actually awakened and was also willing to help him.

Although he was not as indecent as Xu Lingyun, who could even say things like “I’ll sleep with you,” his heart was filled with gratitude. He wished he could write Zhou Jing into his family tree on the spot.

“By the way, there’s one more thing. We’re thinking about immigration. What do you say?”

Zhou Jing repeated the benefits of immigration mentioned by the Supers Bureau and asked for Zhang Xiao’s opinion.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao hesitated.

He was not as carefree as Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun. He had a big family, as well as a good family business… Although he was a marginalized person inside, he could not leave just like that.

Zhang Xiao hesitated for a moment before asking,

“If I become your assistant and you migrate, I should have to follow, right?”

“There’s no need. The assistant slot is a benefit of the Supernatural Bureau. You can stay here freely, and not necessarily be forced to migrate with me,” Zhou Jing said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiao’s expression changed, and he fell into a dilemma.

If he emigrated, he would lose the financial support of his family due to communication restrictions.

If he became a Super and stayed, he would definitely be valued by his family. He could also inherit more of his family’s business, which was very beneficial to him.

There was a high chance that these three best friends would also give up on their immigration plan and not leave him here alone.

This seemed to be the best plan…

However, in his opinion, staying behind was only beneficial to him.

To his three friends, giving up the benefits of migrating to a new planet to develop and staying on this planet to accept a more intense competition would not be of many benefits to their future development, and it would be even harder for them to stand out.

To affect the future of his three friends for his own benefit… He did not want to do such a thing.

Zhang Xiao had already made a decision on how to choose. His expression became firm as he proclaimed.

“I’ve thought it through. If you migrate, I’ll leave with you! Anyway, my family doesn’t lack me. I might as well go out together and make a name for myself!”

After saying that, Zhang Xiao felt enlightened, as though a weight had been lifted off him.

He was not so weak that he did not even have the courage to leave his family’s financial resources to help. If he did not even have this kind of determination, how could he talk about making a career? He should just obediently be raised by his family for the rest of his life!

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyin placed her hands on her hips and laughed excitedly.

“Alright, let’s migrate together! Let’s see what we can do!”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

…

The four of them discussed their future plans and temporarily dispersed after a meal.

There was still more than a month before the migration spacecraft set off. It was still early, so there was plenty of time to consider and prepare.

Zhang Xiao went home to inform his family and gather the money, while Zhou Jing went back to the Supers Bureau and submitted his assistant slot.

He would have to wait a few days for the Bureau to review it before he could officially let Zhang Xiao accept the enhancement.

For the next few days, Zhou Jing did not do anything else. He spent most of his time studying and training. Occasionally, he would go to the Supernatural Bureau to obtain more knowledge. In his free time, he would communicate with his other three best friends in the group chat.

Zhou Jing also reminded everyone not to tell his family that he had become a Super.

In the eyes of his family, he had completed the immigration process and would definitely leave in the future. Therefore, Zhou Jing did not want to make any unnecessary moves. He did not want his family to know that he had become a Super in the event there would be more trouble.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was August 5th.

On this night, the interface finally changed. The cooldown of 7 to 10 days was finally over.

“I can finally travel!”

Zhou Jing rubbed his hands excitedly and immediately entered the preparation space.

As soon as he entered, he received a message from the interface:
