Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

Xia Liuying and her friends walked out of the logistics warehouse, and saw Chu Tiankuo waiting at the door, bored.

He was self-aware and did not follow Xia Liuying and the others in directly - some data on weapons and equipment were very important information.

For example, the number of crossbow arrows that Qiu Xiaoyun has. After knowing the exact number, someone will definitely come to trick Qiu Xiaoyun into attacking, tricking all her crossbow arrows out and weakening her combat capability.

For example, the defensive armor plates in the superpower combat suits, and where each piece is worn on the body, once known by the students of Demon Sea Middle School, they will naturally attack those places with weak defenses.

If Chu Tiankuo really had no ideas, he would have followed in. Anyway, he had no intention of taking action. But as it is now, with a clear line between them, it means that he still has ideas in his heart that he has not given up.

Xia Liuying understood what was going on, but she didn't say anything. Seeing that there was still some time before lunch, she prepared to find a place to rest - don't think about any training at this time, you have to save your energy to guard against sneak attacks.

When they asked about Chu Tiankuo's teammates on the way, Chu Tiankuo did not hide anything and told Xia Liuying and the others everything frankly.

He was indeed isolated, to the extent that even though he was the head of the grade, he had to form a team with a few classmates whose abilities were so ordinary that they could not be more ordinary.

How should I put it? Normally, as the leader, Chu Tiankuo would have many followers and companions due to his outstanding strength. It is impossible for him to end up like this...

However, as the head of the grade, Chu Tiankuo’s circle of friends overlapped greatly with the circle of students who were taken away for isolated education at Mohai Middle School.

To put it simply, all of Chu Tiankuo's friends at school were the proud students of Mohai Middle School. After the accident, all of them were taken away without a single one left behind.

Only Chu Tiankuo was taken away for inspection, and after it was confirmed that there was no problem, he was sent back.

It was during this time when they were taken away for quarantine and inspection that the remaining students of Mohai Middle School experienced various emotional changes, and blamed all their resentment and hatred on two parties - Sungkyunkwan High School, and those students of Mohai Middle School who were taken away for quarantine and education.

Compared to Sungkyunkyun High School, I actually have more resentment towards the latter.

After all, they have never had any contact with the former, but have only watched some videos and heard some news, while the latter is the one they have come into contact with and once envied extremely.

Amid all the complicated emotional changes, the remaining students of Mohai Middle School were extremely resentful of those favored students who occupied the majority of the benefits but made them suffer the consequences together.

At this time, classmate Chu Tiankuo came back, and it was as if all the malice had a source to vent against.

They didn't have the strength to do anything to Chu Tiankuo, and even because of the difference in strength and campus rules, they had to take the initiative to greet Chu Tiankuo when they saw him...

But at least when it comes to choosing teammates, they have the right to firmly refuse.

Forming a team is the most important thing after entering the second grade at Super Star School, and it is also the most important learning content in the next two years.

No one knows how lonely Chu Tiankuo was at that time. All his familiar companions left him, and all the classmates he met looked at him with malice.

Looking at Chu Tiankuo, a classmate that no one wanted to pay attention to, it was as if some secret dark desire had been satisfied - so what if he was the head of the grade? So what if he was powerful?

Finally, it was a team with extremely ordinary strength that took the initiative to accept Chu Tiankuo.

Before that, Chu Tiankuo had never looked at those students whom he thought were the lowest level of the school - some of them were local students from Mohai. Because they had the advantage of local household registration, they could be admitted even if their family background was poorer and their ability rating was lower.

It is better to say that there is a numerical target for the number of students with local household registration who can be admitted. For the local government, no matter how many powerful star heroes the Magic Sea Middle School can train, it is not as practical as training a few people with special abilities who have local household registration.

At least those with local household registration will choose to stay in their hometown to work in the end, while those powerful star heroes will travel all over the world and provide almost no practical help to the local area.

A low ability rating actually means stability and it won’t go anywhere else.

The members of this team are locals living near Mohai Middle School. After sticking together for a while since the start of the school year, they haven’t had much contact with other students... and they can’t contact them.

No one likes to be treated coldly.

They have a good attitude, after all, their family has almost arranged their future - study supernatural knowledge in Super Star School for three years, apply to a local supernatural university for college, choose an internship near home, and start working directly after graduation.

Since they can’t become star heroes anyway, and they don’t have that idea, they just study hard.

After the incident at Mohai Middle School, they were the least affected. After all, the university with superpowers that they had originally planned to apply to was not a famous one, so they would not mind such a small matter. Choosing a place for internship tests one's ability to do things more than superpowers.

It stands to reason that a gifted student like Chu Tiankuo, who looks so "brilliant" at first glance, should have no intersection with them.

At most, when Chu Tiankuo, who becomes a star hero in the future, is carrying out a mission and finds the local supernatural management department or some other department, they will be the clerks or ordinary staff responsible for registration. When they are not busy, they may talk to them and say that they were classmates in the same school and ask if they can get an autograph later.

But in the end, when they saw that no one in the team was interested in Chu Tiankuo, who was even intentionally isolated, they couldn't help but speak up, "We are still short of one person in the team, do you want to join?"

In fact, they regretted it after they opened their mouths, but they did not regret initiating the invitation. Instead, they felt that someone as talented as Chu Tiankuo, no matter what, would not be likely to be with them.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tiankuo agreed, and smiled very brightly, "Okay, do you have any objection to me being the captain?"

He never seemed to be lost.

Then, Chu Tiankuo joined the weakest team and led them from the weakest to the middle and back positions.

After all, individual strength is limited in a team. Even if Chu Tiankuo tried his best to lead the team, they were still pitifully weak and almost lost at the first touch.

The other student teams also knew how to target them. Even if Chu Tiankuo tried his best, he could not stop all the attacks on his teammates.

So much so that from the time they formed the team until now, they did not isolate Chu Tiankuo, but they were also embarrassed to get close to him because of the burden he had always been causing.

The strange thing is that Chu Tiankuo has never said a harsh word because of them, nor has he ever suggested quitting... He always seemed to think that it was because he was not strong enough.

……

"So, what do you think, Xia Liuying?" Chu Tiankuo said with a hearty smile, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Liuying's expression.

If it were Xia Liuying, how would she get along with those teammates at the bottom of the ladder... or could she do what he couldn't?

It seemed that here, Xia Liuying had become the person that even he needed to look up to.

Student Chu Tiankuo wants to know the answer to verify his choice.

"Me?" Xia Liuying tilted her head slightly, looking a little surprised at Chu Tiankuo's question.

"I'm not some gifted child."

“Huh? How is that possible…” Student Chu Tiankuo wanted to say something with a smile, but his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Yes, the halo around Xia Liuying is so big, so bright, and so dazzling that everyone has forgotten that at the beginning she was just an ordinary person who was specially recruited with "superpower rating B level".

Regardless of her family background or ability rating... she was at the bottom of the lowest class, but she climbed so fast that before anyone noticed her struggling to climb at the foot of the mountain, she had already reached the top.

If it was Xia Liuying, it would just be... climbing up again.

"I see..." Chu Tiankuo smiled widely and suddenly waved to everyone, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first. I wish you all a pleasant meal later~"

The figure trotted away, like a goshawk that fell and then flapped its wings to take off again.
