Doomsday Hero Academy

Looking at Yuan Xiaomi's excited and expectant eyes, Su Shen covered his forehead speechlessly and sighed:

"Xiaomi, you should stop watching those messy short videos from now on, and go wash the dishes quickly."

"No! It's your turn to wash the dishes today!"

After saying that, Xiaomi quickly jumped down from the dining table, then jumped back to the sofa and turned on the TV.

After flipping through several channels and reading all the news, he frowned and complained:

"Su Shen, where did you promise me the new set-top box? I can only watch news channels on TV!"

"Okay, okay, I'll change it next month!"

"I always say that next month, your nose will grow longer!!"

Yuan Xiaomi muttered and watched the TV, reading the news boredly.

It's already the end of the month, and the data provided by the mobile phone has long been used up. Besides, this is a slum area. The consortium will not lay out important network resources here. It can only read boring news and pass the time.

"In our news, the council issued the latest notice today that [-] new high schools with awakening qualifications will be added in Jinju. The list of new schools is as follows..."

"Su Shen! Come and see!"

"what happened?"

Su Shen wiped his hands with his apron and ran out.

"Look, our school is going to have awakening qualifications soon. You don't have to find a way to transfer to Dragon City anymore!"

Yuan Xiaomi looked particularly excited, and his eyes seemed to light up.

Su Shen picked up the remote control, turned up the TV volume, sat down on the sofa, and watched the news seriously.

"There are three new high schools in Longcheng, namely Longcheng No. [-] Middle School, Longcheng No. [-] Middle School, and Xinghuo No. [-] Middle School. There is (the only) new high school in Yucheng, Yucheng No. [-] Middle School..."

When Su Shen saw the name of his alma mater appear in the news, Su Shen seemed to have been relieved of his burden. He lazily leaned on the old sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although councils and consortiums have built and provided a large number of schools, there are not many schools with awakening qualifications.

In the entire Jinzhou, only four fortresses, namely Longcheng Barrier, Yanmen Barrier, Shangdang Barrier and Hedong Barrier, had this qualification.

It's not that the council and the consortium don't want to increase the barriers to awakening qualifications, it's just that 16 years ago, other towns were just wilderness. After these years of construction, the current town is here.

The Yucheng where Su Shen and Yuan Xiaomi lived could only be regarded as a satellite city of the Dragon City Barrier, and it was only a district-level city before the end of the world.

After the nuclear contamination, alien beasts woke up and began to slowly occupy the place, eventually turning it into a wilderness.

It was only after the Awakening of the Extraordinary that this place was finally cleared of alien beasts by the Dragon City pioneer army eight years ago and rebuilt.

But now this place is not considered a barrier, barely reaching the size of a town at most, and many supporting facilities cannot keep up, let alone compare with the Dragon City Barrier, which is only more than 20 kilometers away.

After more than ten years of research by the Council, they found that most of these young people who can awaken will awaken at the age of 16, so they began to add many awakening classes in various large barriers to provide them with training and practice.

It's not that teenagers like Su Shen who go to school in other towns can't wake up.

In fact, many people awaken on their own, including adults, but the board of directors believes that only when they awaken at the age of 16 can they have the potential to be cultivated.

The only difference in going to school here is that you don't have the same training resources support as those schools in Dragon City Barrier, such as spiritual mines, exercises, etc.

In particular, spiritual minerals can greatly increase the speed of cultivation. Students with spiritual mineral resources and students without spiritual mineral resources are completely different from entering the country.

Moreover, in those barriers, schools with awakening qualifications have their own system for pre-awakening training, teaching, and exercises, and the success rate will be higher.

If you don't go to the school in the barrier, you can only practice on your own. It's okay for some children of big families or rich people. After all, they can obtain cultivation resources through their own channels, but like Su Shen poor children, not so good.

If you lose at the starting line and don't have the resources to practice, you can only fall behind step by step, and in the end you will be left far behind by others.

Su Shen knew that if he wanted to make this family's life better, the best way out was to awaken and enter the training academy to study.

In the end, it would be best if you can join the pioneer army. After all, if you join the army, you will have more resources for training.

Even if you can't join the pioneer army in the end, you can still accept the olive branch offered by the consortium and work for them. Although your social status is not as good as that of the pioneer army elite, you will still make less money.

Su Shen has been saving money over the years just to pay for the expensive transfer fees, so that he can shorten the gap with others as much as possible and not be too far behind at the starting line.

But when he knew that Yucheng would now have its own Awakening High School, he was really relieved.

In addition to saving the high transfer fees, he also does not have to go to other places to stay and leave Yuan Xiaomi alone at home.

Although it is only about 20 kilometers away from the Dragon City Barrier, which sounds not far away, it is outside the city. It is no better now than it was back then. There are a lot of strange beasts living outside the city!

Nowadays, humans are no longer the masters of this world. Except for settlements such as barriers and towns, this world has long been a world inhabited by alien beasts.

If you want to travel safely between the two towns, you must rely on the convoys protected by the consortium and the army.

But the cost is hard to describe.

The cost of a trip between Yucheng and Longcheng Barrier was enough for Su Shen to sell pancakes for half a month. How could Su Shen afford it?

However, if you take Xiaomi to Dragon City with you, you will also have to consider Xiaomi’s transfer fees, renting a house, and living expenses.

It is a huge expenditure.

Su Shen had been having a headache about this before, and to be honest, he had thought about giving up many times.

But today, Yucheng was also going to open an awakening class, which made him feel completely relieved.

There is no need to leave home and go to a strange place. Once awakened, as long as you perform well, you can also obtain cultivation resources. This is a great thing!

"Huh~ Xiaomi, I'll get you a new set-top box tomorrow. Haven't you always wanted to watch anime channels? I want you to watch enough this time!"

Su Shencai smiled generously.

Yuan Xiaomi glanced at him: "Su Shen, have you ever thought that although your school has awakening qualifications, what if you don't awaken?"

"I!"

Su Shen glared at Yuan Xiaomi: "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, why can't you wake up? How can you not wake up! I'm the top student in our class!"

Yuan Xiaomi sighed: "But most students who are good at academics are not very good at physical education. Awakening...can be considered a kind of physical education, right?"

"This..."

Su Shen was a little dumbfounded, because he was a typical person who was good at studies but poor in health!

He has been weak and sickly since he was a child. Let alone boys, even many girls have better physical fitness than him.

"Yuan Xiaomi, I suddenly have the urge to die..." Su Shen lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling desperately.

"Hey! Don't be discouraged. Whether you can awaken or not will only be known after you try it, right?"

"Hehe, I thank you."

"It's okay, you have been protecting me since I was a child. Even if you cannot awaken, I can protect you. When I awaken in the future, I will protect you!"

Su Shen, who was still a little touched at first, raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Xiaomi's stinking look. Then he thought about how his family status would be -1-1-1 if he could not awaken and Yuan Xiaomi could awaken. Feeling sad.

Su Shen, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, stood up and said, "Have you finished your homework? Are you still watching TV here? Go do your homework quickly!"

Yuan Xiaomi turned off the TV reluctantly and looked at Su Shen resentfully: "Do you know how you look now interprets an idiom very well?"

"what?"

"Infuriated!"

"Go, go, go and do your homework!"

Su Shen waved his hand impatiently and rushed Yuan Xiaomi to do his homework.

Yuan Xiaomi spread his hands with a smile:

"Brother, I ran out of homework books and can't finish writing."

Su Shen took a look at Yuan Xiaomi's homework book and found that she had indeed not lied, and that both sides of the homework book had indeed been used up.

Xiaomi's beautiful font is densely packed between the lines. It can be seen that she usually uses it very sparingly.

At this time, the acid rain outside was still falling, but it was gradually getting lighter.

Su Shen held up an umbrella: "You wait at home, don't run around, I'll buy you a homework book."

"Su Gogou, that's true, but I always feel that you are taking advantage of me."

Su Shen rubbed Yuan Xiaomi's hair lovingly: "What are you thinking about? Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."

"Oh."

"Also, I will lock the door after I go out. Don't open it if anyone knocks. I have the key with me."

"Okay, okay, you're really long-winded."

After going out and watching Yuan Xiaomi lock the door from the courtyard, Su Shen looked up at the sky, smiled, and hurriedly stepped into the rain.

It was now past nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark. There were no street lights on the street, and it was almost impossible to see the ground clearly.

Fortunately, this was the road Su Shen walked from childhood to adulthood, and he relied on his deep memory to walk out one step at a time, so as not to fall into the pit.

The small shop selling stationery is located on the main road of Anning Village, not far from the elementary school that I passed in the afternoon. It is also the only place with street lights among all the streets in Anning Village.

But when he was about to walk out of the dark alley, he suddenly felt something pressing on his waist.

"Don't move! Robbery!"

A man's voice sounded coldly behind him.

For a moment, Su Shen broke out in cold sweat and slowly raised his hands: "Brother, calm down. You can see from my outfit that I am not a rich man. You have found the wrong person."

"Stop talking nonsense! I just lost all my money. You are unlucky today. Stop talking nonsense and take out the money quickly! If you keep talking, I don't mind sending you off first!"

"Brother, have you ever thought that if you lose money in gambling, it must be because you are unlucky?"

"Where did you come up with so much nonsense!"

The man behind him was obviously ashamed and angry. He quickly removed the knife from Su Shen's waist and put it on his neck.

"Hurry up and pay!"

When he was on the verge of danger, Su Shen's brain not only did not panic, but also quickly calmed down.

Su Shen looked at the powerful arm in front of him and felt that the strength of the opponent was beyond the reach of ordinary people. He couldn't help but wonder:

"Could it be that this guy is actually an awakened person?"

But regardless of whether the opponent was an awakened person or not, Su Shen knew that he was no match for him and could only slowly look for opportunities.

He knew that if he fought back rashly, regardless of whether he could defeat the robber behind him, even if he could defeat him, he would still have a knife in his hand!

If you accidentally hit yourself, even if you can't die on the spot, once you are doused by the damn acid rain, you may be in danger.

That would be an unjust death.

After calming down, Su Shen quickly looked around to see if there were any weapons that could be borrowed, or looked out of the alley, wondering if he could quickly get rid of the people behind him and escape to the main street.

Once on the main street, he believed that the robber behind him would never have the guts to chase him out.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and pay!"

The man behind him started to get a little impatient, and he reached out and started groping around his body.

Su Shen was helpless. Now that the knife was on his neck, he didn't dare to run forward. He was seeking death.

"Brother, calm down. We have no grievances. Be careful not to hurt anyone."

"Stop talking nonsense, where is the money?"

Su Shen was helpless. Seeing that there was really no chance to fight back, Su Shen sighed and prepared to admit defeat: "It's in the inner pocket on the left side of my coat. I'll get it for you later..."

"Don't move, I'll get it myself!"

The man quickly unzipped Su Shen's coat and took out all the money from his pocket.

"Only 20 yuan? You only have 20 yuan to talk to me for so long?"

After saying that, he raised the dagger angrily and hit Su Shen on the head with the handle!

'boom! '

Su Shen's head felt a pain in his head, followed by endless tinnitus. Suddenly, the sky and the earth spun around, stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he fell down, weakly shining on the ground.

At this time, when Su Shen fell to the ground, he also saw clearly the appearance of the robber. He was a strong and powerful man in his 30s.

"Damn, bad luck!"

The strong man stared at Su Shen coldly: "I didn't intend to kill you, but who told you to see my face? Kid, I'm sorry. If you want to blame, I can only blame you for your bad luck. ."

After saying that, without any more nonsense, the strong man raised the dagger and stabbed Su Shen hard in the heart!

'clang! '

There was no expected sound of the dagger piercing the body. The strong man only felt that the dagger he was holding was blocked by something. Then there was a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the dagger was violently knocked away.

As for the dying young man in his eyes, his chest was blooming with brilliance, and the hot white light illuminated the entire alley in an instant, blooming like a white firework.

Su Shen, whose face was covered in blood, stared at the Hua Guang in front of him in shock, struggling to get up.

And the strong man looked at the strange scene in front of him. The young man with his face covered in blood became more and more ferocious due to the strange white light blooming on his chest. He was so frightened that he cried out: "Ghost——! "

After saying that, he didn't care about the dagger that flew to the side, and fled out of the alley in a hurry: "There's a ghost, help!"

Su Shen stretched out his hand in the direction of the strong man's escape, unwillingly: "My money..."

The strange light gradually extinguished, and Su Shen sat there for a long time, checking his head blankly.

"Where's the wound on my head? Why don't you even have a bag? Is my head really that hard?"

"wrong!"

Su Shen recalled the scene just now. The severe pain in his head was real, and the splitting headache and the feeling of almost fainting were also real. In fact, he could clearly feel that his head must have been shot.

Su Shen stretched out his hands and kept grabbing at his hair, but couldn't find any trace of a wound.

"Why are there no wounds at all? Also, what happened to that light just now?"

Su Shen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly rolled up his trouser legs and looked at his calves——

"Hiss—this is a bit powerful..."

During extracurricular activities yesterday, I accidentally tripped while running. At that time, a stone cut a wound more than ten centimeters long on my leg, and the flesh was turned out.

But looking at it now, there is no scar at all?

Su Shen, who thought he had remembered it wrong, hurriedly turned up the other trouser leg, looked at it over and over again for more than ten times, and finally confirmed that his wound had indeed healed inexplicably...

"Could it be that I woke up after being hit by that guy?" Su Shen thought in shock.

"This...is a bit powerful."

"wrong!"

"No, no!"

In order to become an awakened person, Su Shen checked a lot of information and made a lot of strategies. Even when he was in school, his classmates would share a lot of information about awakened people during daily chats.

At least Su Shen knows that if you want to become an awakened person, the first thing is to awaken. What to awaken to?

It’s [Heraldry].

Each awakened person has a unique coat of arms. The shape and attributes of the coat of arms are different, which also determines the future career division and growth direction of the awakened person.

For example, Su Shen knows that there are currently various awakened people in the Practical Department of the Cultivation Academy.

For example, if the emblem on the chest is in the shape of a weapon, such as a sword or a spear, it is a warrior; if the emblem is in the shape of a shield, it is a shield warrior, who is mainly responsible for defense.

There are also those who have various elements awakened in their chests, who are jokingly called ‘mages’ by their classmates.

For example, if the Fire Emblem is awakened on the chest, it is usually an awakener with the fire attribute, and the direction and technique of practice are related to the fire attribute.

Of course, there are so many awakened ones, with all kinds of crest shapes and attributes. Some are geniuses and some are useless.

Su Shen once heard that there was a strange student who had an iron pot emblem awakened on his chest.

The instructors studied curiously for a long time, not knowing what exercises to let him practice. In the end, they had to let the student report to the cooking class in tears...

It is said that stir-frying is really a specialty.

Of course, in addition to useless people, there will also be geniuses. There have been students who were able to awaken the dual crests in the past.

However, these are all unique geniuses who are rare to find. Every time one appears, they must be cultivated as if they are treasures.

However, no matter what, the emblem will bloom on the chest after awakening, Su Shen still confirms this.

"Could it be...that I've really awakened?"

Su Shen couldn't wait to focus on her chest, and arched her chest outward: "Come out, coat of arms!"

......

After waiting quietly for a long time, nothing happened. Su Shen stared helplessly at his chest: "Could it be that the way I woke up was wrong?"

"Please awaken the crest!"

"Please, baby Crest, turn around!"

"Show off, little coat of arms!"

"Barabara's little coat of arms, change, change, change!"

"Please give me a coat of arms, I am Su Shen!"

......

Su Shen, who was completely helpless, sat down on the ground slumped, not caring whether it was acid rain all over the ground.

"What, just nothing?"

In a private house facing the street, a mother was patiently educating her children:

"Did you hear that? What did mom say? Studying is still very important. Even if you can't wake up, you can still use the knowledge you learned to find a good job. Look at that kid on the street who is already crazy because he can't wake up. ?"

"Well, you're right, Mom!"

Su Shen didn't know that at this moment, he was already being regarded as a negative example by his enthusiastic neighbors as he was crazy because he couldn't wake up.

Devastated, he stood up with a frown on his face, holding the umbrella in his hand with dull eyes, ready to buy Xiaomi's homework first.

Regardless of whether we can wake up or not, life still has to go on and homework still has to be completed.

Not far away, Su Shen suddenly thought of something and ran back in a hurry, rummaging around in the muddy water for something.

The mother who was educating her child just now looked at Su Shen who was rummaging for things on the street with pity: "Hey, such a good child, how can he go crazy?"

"found it!"

Su Shen happily dug out the dagger dropped by the robber from the muddy water.

There is still rust on the dagger in many places. It seems that the owner did not know where he picked it up and did not take good care of it.

"Oh, although it's a bit broken, but think about it from another perspective, I bought a dagger for 20 yuan, but looking at the appearance, I don't know whether I made a loss or a profit?"

Su Shen murmured to himself and carefully hid the dagger in his arms: "No matter what, we can at least recover some losses... right?"

But what he didn't notice was that when the dagger was in his arms, just when it was pressed against his chest, it seemed to let out a brisk cry of joy, flickered with a burst of red light, and then fell into silence again...

Su Shen looked distressedly at the completely dirty coat and the torn trouser legs when she fell, and felt a burst of pain.

"This is the birthday gift Xiaomi bought me..."

Forget it, it’s better to buy Xiaomi a homework book, otherwise the store will be closed soon.

Su Shen hurriedly ran to the small shop selling homework books. When the boss looked at the man with blood on his face, he was shocked. Is there a robber here this late at night?

But the voice that greeted me sounded particularly familiar: "You...are you Su Shen?"

"It's me, what's wrong? Ah!"

Su Shen then remembered that he had not had time to wash his face. At this moment, the blood on his head was soaked by the acid rain and mixed with the muddy water on the ground. It would be strange if this didn't frighten him.

"Xiao Shen...what's wrong with you?"

Knowing that he was an acquaintance, Zhang Songwen was not very scared anymore, but just looked at Su Shen strangely.

"It's okay, I was... just fell down. Uncle Zhang, these notebooks? How much do they cost?"

Just when he was about to take out the money, Su Shen remembered that all his money had been taken away. He cursed in his heart: "Damn robber." He raised his head and said to Zhang Songwen in embarrassment:

"Um...Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry when I came out and forgot to bring money."

"It's okay, it's okay. They all belong to old neighbors. Next time you come over, just give them a piece. You can take them back to Xiaomi first."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

They were all old neighbors, and it was normal for them to occasionally make a credit card or something. Su Shen didn't take it seriously, picked up his homework and walked out.

Zhang Songwen looked at Su Shen's back, remembering how he looked just now, and couldn't help but cover his heart: "Oh, you scared me to death, in the middle of the night..."
