The teacher took out a booklet, he passed it to Zhi Min with a smile as he said slowly:

“This book contains basic foundation combat techniques, it isn’t anything special but it is helpful in fights, looking at your frail appearance, people probably thinks you’re easy picking”He then pointed out the window

“There’s a dummy at the training ground, you can use it to test out the techniques, if you have any questions, ask me tomorrow”He said gently

Zhi Min nodded, he flipped through the pages and as if he already read it hundreds of times, he memorised the content easily.Zhi Min had never been taught anything so his brain was very eager when he obtained a book.

So he soaked up the knowledge like a sponge and every small detail was noted in his head.He then closed the booklet and walked outside.The teacher glanced out the window and saw that Zhi Min already stood the dummy up and was prepared to test out the techniques.

“Kids are always so impatient, testing out the techniques before even properly learning it, but he is still teachable with his-”When he was about to continue, he saw Zhi Min initiate a combat technique with ease.

The strike was flawless and landed on a vital spot. If it was used on a human who never practiced spiritual strength, it could send them to the hospital for a few days!

“Amazing!His talent for combat is off the charts!I must inform the higher ups after, this kid's talent is not normalOne glance was all it took for him to understand the concept of that strike, not even I can do that”He said in amazement, a smile rose to his face as he watched Zhi Min.

Zhi Min began to sweat as he struck the dummy, his movements were smooth and his pink hair drifted with every strike he threw out.

“It's no wonder boys are proposing to him, if I was their age, I might actually think he’s a girl as well”The teacher laughed to himself and said

After a few minutes, Zhi Min stopped and headed back to class.When he entered the classroom, many students turned his way with a strange gaze.This was because Zhi Min had been sweating an awful lot so his clothes were stuck to him.

Zhi Min didn’t realise the fact and walked in normally, he sat down and wiped the sweat from his face.He then sat patiently for the teacher to begin the lesson.

A boy walked through the door and sat down beside Zhi Min.

“We meet again, won’t you consider my offer?Being my woman isn’t a bad thing you know”He leaned in and said

Zhi Min moved further away from him

“I’ll break the finger that touches me”He said emotionlessly, his face was impossible to read and was stoic.

The boy laughed in return

“The more you act like this, the more I want you”He licked the side of his lips and went closer towards him.

Zhi Min sighed and placed his head down on the table.Ignoring the boy, he chose to just sleep through his problems.

The boy chuckled and was about to place his hand on Zhi Min’s back when the teacher let out a cough.The students all turned over and the boy also stopped his movements.

“Zhi Min, stop sleeping”He said in a deep voice

Zhi Min lifted his head and glanced at the teacher

“Teacher, I don’t feel well right now, can I go catch my breath outside?”Zhi Min asked

The teacher glanced over

“Alright, but meet us at the training ground later”He said

Zhi Min nodded and stood up, turning towards the door.The boy who pestered him stood up as well.

“Since student Zhi Min isn’t feeling well, I’ll go with her to make sure nothing happens”He said and was about to leave when Zhi Min grabbed him by his shoulders and pushed him down to his seats.

“I don’t like pests when I’m unwell”He walked out and stood outside for some time.

“Wait-”

“Xie Bi, stand down, class is still on”The teacher said sternly

The boy sat down, his name was Xie Bi, he is the heir of the Yu Long company, one of the largest in China.After laying eyes on Zhi Min, he couldn’t forget the girl in his mind.

“Also, Zhi Min is indeed a boy, his gender has already been confirmed”The teacher added

Xie Bi froze up

“Sir, you must be joking, I saw her working at a maid cafe, why would a boy work there?”Xie Bi asked

The teacher sighed

“Zhi Min is an orphan, the cafe owner took him in and Zhi Min now works there as both gratitude and helping out the place”

The class began to chatter, discussing Zhi Min’s work and life.

“So he was an orphan, it must have been tough for him”The girls said

The boys however sneered

“He’s just a homeless kid, heh, being a girl suits a wimp like him”A boy said mockingly

The teacher frowned

“Enough, we’re going to the training ground, practice the techniques given to you there to increase your spiritual strength, just because you have all awakened powers, doesn’t mean you can use them well”The teacher said coldly and stood up.

Zhi Min stood outside with a blank expression

“Should I be feeling something if guys approach me?Or when girls reach out to me?I don’t know…”He clenched his hands and his right pupil suddenly turned red.

“Urgh”

He held his hand to his right eye as a shocking pain struck him.He grit his teeth as the pain infiltrated his head, causing an immense headache.His mind became hazy as his eyes blurred.

“W-what the hell was that”

When he removed his hand from his right eye, his vision became strange.

His vision was reddish in colour and most objects were filtered out of his sight.He turned back and saw a man behind him, he was shocked but realised he couldn’t see him.

He reached out his hand but it merely went through him

His head suddenly began to hurt again and the red tint fainted.His vision retired to normal after a but and everything seemed normal.

“...”

Zhi Min paused

‘Is that my awakened ability?Well...pretty useless from what I’ve seen so far but something is better than nothing’

His head was still a bit dizzy but he held on and walked towards the training ground.

Zhi Min shook his head lightly as he felt the pain still ringing in his mind.He then wobbled and fell to the ground.A wave of fatigue suddenly washed over him, it was followed by confusion.

‘I-I didn’t feel tired, but why do I want to sleep?’

His eyes then closed as he laid motionlessly on the ground.It wasn’t after some time when the teacher realised that Zhi Min was still not back so he went to check.However,when he found Zhi Min unconscious on the ground, he was shocked.

He quickly ran up and carried him to the nurse’s office where Zhi Min was laid on the bed to rest.

“What happened to him?”The teacher asked

“It seems he’s just tired, don’t worry, he will be fine after some rest”She said

The teacher nodded

‘Maybe his personal training tired him out and his fatigue built up, well, its only normal since he is trying much harder than the others, he’s a tough kid’ The teacher smiled and walked out.

By the time Zhi Min woke up, school has already ended.The sun was setting and his mind was now clearer.But a thought struck him, it’s turning night!

Zhi Min didn’t say a word, he dashed out the office and ran out the gates.He didn’t reply to any of the words that classmates say to him as they walk, he just ran.He could already feel his shirt tightening up, which only made him run faster.

His breath was heavy, but with each huff, the pitch grew higher and higher until his voice has completely changed.

‘Crap, why was I asleep for so long’ She thought to herself

Zhi Min has completely changed by now, she arrived at the cafe backdoor and entered.Sweat rolled down her face as she relaxed slowly.

She walked over to her room to grab her pajamas as she headed to the showers.She walked in and turned on the water.From the other side of the door, a voice rang out.

“Zhi Min?Why are you back later than usual?Did something happen today?”It was Qing Rui on the side, she was worried that maybe something happened to Zhi Min.

“Nothing, just a student was being bothersome today so I came back late”She replied

“Hah?Which little bastard dares to bother my cute Zhi Min, guy or girl!”She shouted

Zhi Min smiled

“A guy”She replied

“Alright, next time it happens, I will go complain to the principal!”Qing Rui shouted and walked off

Zhi Min felt a warm feeling rise from her heart.She has never felt this before but she enjoyed this unfamiliar feeling.It gave her a sense of security and tranquility.

Later, Zhi Min walked out refreshed, she didn’t realise before but now that she paid closer attention, she felt that her eyesight has improved greatly.She could even see the ant crawling through the crevices on the ceiling.

Zhi Min thought for a bit, she then concentrated her gaze, then she saw a figure, her vision became red again and teh figure became clearer.It was Qing Rui leaping out.She stepped back and suddenly the colours returned.Qing Rui wasn’t there and her head felt slightly dizzy.It no longer hurt like before so she was glad.

When she walked over, she suddenly felt a familiar figure leap out from the side.

‘It’s just like what I just saw!’

She stepped back and Qing Rui missed her, crashing into the wall.

“Ah, Zhi Zhi is so mean, she doesn't even let me hug her!”Qing Rui cried out

A hand came from behind and grabbed her head

“Boss, it seems my massage wasn’t effective enough”Ying Wu said with a cold smile on her face

“Ah!Zhi Zhi, save me!”Qing Rui cried out

Zhi Min smiled

“Sister has worked hard”She said and raised her hand, giving a thumbs up.

Qing Rui felt hopeless at this moment, Zhi Min was supporting Ying Wu’s cruel attitude!She felt betrayed.

“Wah, Zhi Min is rebelling!”She cried

Zhi Min smiled

“Boss...I’m 14, your action can be counted as assault”Zhi Min said lightly

Qing Rui immediately shut her mouth

“Vicious”She mumbled

Zhi Min wiped her hair with the towel in her hand, she then placed it back before walking to the dinner table.Qing Rui had already prepared the meal so the three of them sat down.

“Zhi Zhi, how was your school today?Did you make any friends?”Qing Rui asked

Zhi Min shook her head

“I-I’m scared to go near anyone”Zhi Min took a nibble in her rice as she spoke shyly

Ying Wu giggled

“You’re so pretty, you should me more confident”She said encouragingly

Zhi Min shook her head

“That's exactly why I’m scared”She said

Ying Wu tilted her head, Qing Rui too was also confuse.

“C-classmates of both genders...keep proposing to me, I’m scared”Zhi Min shook as she remembered what has happened on the first day of school.

Silence…

“B-both gender?”

Zhi Min nodded

“Yesterday, five boys and two girls, today, an especially persistent one”Zhi Min’s eyes were blank as if she was confused as well

Ying Wu looked down on her chest and gave them a pat before staring at Zhi Min.

“It's the chest isn’t it...is it that big of a deal...those meatbags...”She mumbled

Zhi Min shook her head

“It's too uncomfortable, I’d rather be flat, also, no one in school knows how big my cups size is anyways”Zhi Min replied

Ying Wu felt a heavy blow striking her heart

‘Have I really lost to a 14 year old?’

Qing Rui chuckled

“Its normal for children their age to propose to you, just leave them alone”She said

Zhi Min smiled bitterly

“I don’t know...school is terrifying, one of the kids was even asking me to be his woman, the fact that I didn’t beat him into the ground is already a miracle”Zhi Min clenched her hands and the metal chopsticks in her hand bent.

Their eyes were wide in shock as they stared at the bent chopsticks, was Zhi Min always this strong?

Qing Rui paused

“A brat asked you to be his woman?”

Zhi Min nodded

Qing Rui stood up

“I will go speak to the directors tomorrow, the nerve of that kid, if I don’t give him a piece of my mind, I won’t be fit to be your boss”Qing Rui felt a trace of anger, dating at their age was normal, but asking a girl to be their woman is a completely different matter!

Zhi Mn smiled warmly

“Thank you boss, but I wouldn’t want to trouble you”Zhi Min said

Qing Rui shook her head

“You stay quiet, my Zhi Zhi is being bullied here, how can I not stand up for you!”She slammed the table and said

Zhe in shook her head lightly, there was a gente smile on her face as she opened her mouth

“If you complain, how can I pummel him with the excuse of harassment?”She said with a warm smile

Ying Wu and Qing Rui stared at her gentle face, almost saying ‘sure’ happily until they realised what she had said.They were so entangled with her warm smile they almost thought it was a good thing!

“Z-Zhi Z-Zhi, you can’t do such aggressive things, you’re a girl”Qing Rui grabbed her shoulders and said

Zhi Min chuckled

“But when I go to school, I’m a boy”She picked up her bowl and quickly ate it all.

Qing Rui and Ying Wu could only laugh when they heard Zhi Min’s excuse, they too then finished their food after her.

Zhi Min went to her room and sat down on the bed, she closed her eyes and felt her spiritual strength running through her body.She then slowly moved them from different parts of her body to her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her vision once again became red.She looked around, apart from parts of her room being  transparent, nothing else changed.She waited a bit and she saw no figures like before.

‘Why is it not working?Is it a chance?’She wondered to herself

She then stopped running her spiritual strength, her body then felt a bit empty as she slumped to her bed.Her vision returned to normal but she felt strangely tired.She closed her eyes and her mind blanked as she fell asleep.

Zhi Min’s eyelids trembled under the morning sun, shining through the window, his eyes slowly opened.Shaking his head, he stood up and stretched his arms.

He felt a stinging pain from his eye suddenly, when he placed his hand on his eye, he felt a liquid on the side.He removed his hand and stared at his hand.

‘Blood?strange…’

He quickly wiped his eyes and his vision blurred.

A searing pain once again invaded his eyes

“Argh!”

He fell to the ground and his surroundings began to blur even more.He clenched his right eye and gritted his teeth tightly, not letting another sound out.

“Ng”

Both his eyes became blurry and his mind blanked.

He shut his eyes under the pain, but when he opened them, the world was no longer the same.No, it was the same, yet he could no longer see it.

His hands trembled as he placed his hand on his eyes

“Blindness…”

He muttered to himself, a deep sense of despair befell him as he looked around the room.He couldn’t see anything…

He clenched his hand and stood up

‘I didn’t leave the orphanage just to waste away…”He grit his teeth and reached out his hand for his surroundings.

He walked around feeling his surroundings, he soon felt something similar to that of a door.He opened it and realised it was the closet, he felt the different clothes for his uniform and took them out.After spending time figuring out which side of the clothes is which, he spent more time changing into them.

“Zhi Zhi, why are you taking so long today!”A voice rang out from behind the room door

Zhi Min turned to the source of the sound

“Ah, I woke up late, sorry boss”She replied quickly

Qing Rui felt something was wrong but didn’t enter

“Alright, I made breakfast already, come back early today to help out the cafe”She called out and left

Zhi Min nodded to himself and changed into his uniform.He walked towards the door and opened the door, the colours in his eyes were faint and it lost its usual luster.From its usual jade green colour, it was now a damp green.

He walked out the room and felt the walls.After finding out which direction he had to go, he walked towards the exit of the cafe.He didn’t eat the breakfast and left immediately, the moment he walked out the store, the insecure feeling struck him.

He trembled slightly before walking the usual direction he is used to.He stuck close to the wall and felt out where he was.He relied on his ears to know if anyone was approaching him so he would move slightly away to avoid bumping into people.

He would hear cars driving by her but one caught his attention.It stopped beside him, the screeching of the wheel made him turn his head.

“I knew I saw a familiar figure, Zhi Min, why are you walking so strangely?”The familiar voice took Zhi Min by surprise, it was Xie Bi, the young man pursuing Zhi Min for the first two days of school.

Zhi Min turned his head and continued to walk while sticking close to the wall.Xie Bi found Zhi Min’s actions to be strange so he got out of his car and walked over.

“Young master, please get back in, we need to get you to your class as soon as possible”The driver called out

Xie Bi ignored him

“Zhi Min, why aren’t you replying?”Xie Bi stuck closer and asked

Zhi Min didn’t turn back

“I’m a guy, stop following me”He said adamantly

Xie Bi smiled

“Even if the teacher said you’re a guy, I refuse to believe it, come on, I’ll give you a ride”He stood in front of Zhi Min and said.

Zhi Min didn’t hear his footsteps since he was talking to him just down and didn't stop so he ended up bumping into Xie Bi.

They both fell back but Xie Bi managed to get a hold of himself before he fell.Zhi Min however fell to the ground.

“Zhi Min, you…”He was about to say something but when he saw Zhi Min’s eyes, he stopped

“What?”Zhi Min didn’t know what he saw and asked before standing back up

“Your eyes...they were fine yesterday, what happened”He walked over and asked

Zhi Min realised what he meant

“Its none of your business”Zhi Min said and walked past him

Xie Bi gritted his teeth and grabbed Zhi Min’s arm

“No, with how your eyes are now, you’ll get hurt, I’m dropping you off whether you like it or not”Zhe Min was pulled by him, he tried to resist but was still pulled along by him.

He pulled Zhi Min into the car and buckled him up

“I will drop you off everyday from now on, don’t think about getting away from me, when I want something, I will get it”Xie Bi said confidently

Zhi Min frowned, but his impression on Xie Bi was slightly better.Zhi Min sat quietly in the car, the driver would give him a strange look once in a while before driving.Xie bi glanced at him every now and then.

“What happened to your eyes?”He asked again

Zhi Min replied

“I don’t know, my eyes became this way this morning”he replied calmly

Xie Bi waved his hand in front of Zhi Min’s face as if he was verifying what he had said.

Zhi Min didn’t react, he sat there motionlessly which confirmed Xie Bi’s thoughts.

“I will take you to my personal doctor, in this city, no one can top him in the medical field”Xie Bi said confidently

Zhi Min shook his head

“I dislike owing favours, also, I doubt your doctor can heal my eyes”Zhi Min said slowly

Xie Bi frowned, Zhi Min’s words hurt his pride but he didn’t stop there.

“Even if you say no, I will still take you there, don’t worry, you will be able to see in no time”He smiled and said

Zhi Min sighed and looked out the window.He then channeled his spiritual strength into his eyes once again, from nothing, his vision became red.Slowly figures entered his field of vision.Outlines...he could see the bare minimum!

Zhi Min closed his eyes and stopped the channeling, his vision once again became empty.A light smile crept onto his smile.But he hid the smile right after, hoping Xie Bi didn’t see.

After a few more minutes of silence, they reached the school.Zhi Min got out relatively slowly, he walked out the car while reaching out his hand to make sure nothing was in the way.

“Eh, is that Zhi Min?Wah, he just got out of young master Xie’s car!”

“Ah?I thought he disliked Xie Bi”

“Who knows, maybe there's a story behind them two”

The girls began to discuss what they had seen.Zhi Min heard the discussions from afar but ignored it.He walked forward, hoping not to bump into anyone.Xie Bi ran up after him.

“Wait up, why did you leave so quickly”He called out

Zhi Min frowned

“I already complied with you when you dragged me into your car, why do I need to wait for you as well?”Zhi Min asked

“Well, I was worried you’d get hurt with your eyes”He scratched his face and said

Zhi Min kept walking

“My ears are enough”

Xie Bi grabbed Zhi Min’s arm

“Do you think you can just act tough like that?I-”

Zhi Min grabbed his arm and turned while flipping him over his back.Xie Bi landed on his back and the impact caused him to feel a little dazed.

“Before I was still in a decent mood so I didn’t use much force when you pulled me in, but do this again, I promise you will get more than just a fall”Zhi min released his arm and walked off.

Xie Bi got up and stared at Zhi Min, his face was ever so slightly red

‘Beautiful, even when she’s angry’ He thought to himself

The students watching were all shocked by this advancement, Zhi Min actually performed a judo flip on Xie Bi!

Zhi Min walked into the hallways, there was the sound of footsteps everywhere, so Zhi Min walked extra slowly so he wouldn’t bump into anyone.However, when he was walking, someone purposely nudged him to the wall.

Zhi Min was taken by surprise and hit the wall

“Who”He shouted, the person stood there smiling

“Heh, he’s just got a pretty face, why are all the girls so fond of him?”The young man sneered and said

Zhi Min frowned and looked around

“Brat, I’m talking to you!”The young man shouted

Zhi Min still didn’t know who was talking to him, he scratched his head and turned to where the source of the voice was.The young man snickered

“What?too scared to say a word?”He walked closer towards Zhi Min and smirked

Zhi Min heard that there was now only one pair of footsteps now.The others seemed to have stopped and were watching from the side.

Zhi Min looked blankly at where the one footstep was coming from, he tilted his head and waited for him to say something.

“Brat, what's with that expression, am I insignificant in your eyes!Care dammit!”He shouted and kicked Zhi Min’s stomach.

Zhi Min fell back and coughed a few times.But he didn’t let out any sound after that, he got up quietly as if the kick never happened before turning to walk off.

The young man was infuriated, he grabbed Zhi Min’s shoulder and was about to punch when Zhi Min turned his head.His right eye was now red and stared at him coldly.

“Had enough fun?”Zhi Min spoke up, he grabbed the hand that grabbed him and pulled him in.

The young man was pulled in with ease, Zhi Min then pulled his head back before slamming it into his head.Zhi Min then grabbed him by the hair.

“That kick hurts like crap, but I wasn’t bothered to do anything yet you still dared to touch me”Zhi Min raised his other hand and smacked his face.

The young man’s left cheek began to swell up and turned bright red.

“Hm, one side of your face is red and swollen from that smack, but I have OCD, let me fix the other side as well”He raised his hand once again and smacked the other side of the young man’s cheeks.

“Better”Zhi Min smiled and threw the young man aside, his right eye returned back to the dull green and his vision once again faded.

Zhi Min then tidied her shirt before looking around.

“Um, which way is class zero?”He scratched the back of his head and said with an awkward smile

A student pointed in a direction and said

“Just down that hallway”He said

Zhi Min walked towards the source of the sound and squinted his eyes

“eep”The student got frightened and backed off

Zhi min smiled

“Sorry, I can’t see, can you point again, I’ll need to  feel your arm to know which direction it is”Zhi Min said lightly and smiled

The student took a glance at Zhi Min’s eyes and was shocked, his eyes didn’t have the luster it was meant to have.

“Ah, I’m sorry, I got a bit scared, your previous actions were a bit...well”He said with a trace of awkwardness

Zhi Min smiled brightly

“Don’t sweat it”He said gently

The student went into a daze when he saw that smile, so did the others around him.Both boys and girls, stared at his face with an empty expression as if that was the only thing they could see.

“ahem?”Zhi Min let out a cough to snap them out of that trance

“Ah, i-its just straight ahead and turn right”He said and pointed out his hand once again

Zhi Min reached out his hand and felt the arm, he touched from the shoulder to the tip of the fingers.The student blushed when Zhi Min touched his hand, then Zhi Min let out a smile and released his hand.

“Thank you”Zhi Min then turned and walked towards that direction, the student felt a bit of disappointment that Zh Min didn't hold his hand for a bit longer but then shook his head.The others beside him stared at him, regretting not answering Zhi Min’s question sooner, or they may have gotten the chance instead of him.

But then they realised something

“H-he beat Wang Po so easily, a-and he was blind!”They realised Zhi Min’s actions a bit later, but it was a shocking discovery.

“Who cares, he deserved it, I never liked him anyways”

“But is he alright?Wang po kicked him in the stomach”

They turned in the direction Zhi Min left off and noticed that he was no longer there, but his figure flickered in their minds.

Zhi Min placed his hand on the wall and soon felt a door, he opened it and walked in.

“Who are you?”A voice came from the front of the room

Zhi Min realised he walked into the wrong room

“Sorry, I entered the wrong room”He was about to walk out when the teacher walked over

“Don’t lie, we don’t have any new students today so it's impossible to enter the wrong room, what's your real purpose?”The teacher was a woman, she had a strong bearing and gave off a fierce feeling.

“I really did enter the wrong room”Zhi Min replied

The teacher frowned and dragged Zhi Min into the classroom

“I will be keeping a watch on you for this class period, until you confess, you will be staying here”She said and seated him down beside her on the desk.Zhi Min felt wronged but sat there quietly, not bothered to say anything else.

‘...I’m bored…’

He thought to himself and closed his eyes, the teacher saw that Zhi Min closed his eyes and slapped the back of his head.

“No sleeping”She said sternly

Zhi Min pouted and crossed his arms, he didn’t look around as no matter where he looked, everything would be the same anyways.Using his power would only tire him out so he didn’t do so.

Time passed slowly, students that entered the classroom would glance at him, shocked by how pretty he was even though he was a boy.However, one certain student who walked in paused and stared at Zhi Min in shock.

“Why are you here?I thought you were in class zero”He walked over and asked

Zhi Min turned his head

“Who are you again?”He asked

The student felt depressed but answered anyways

“I’m the one who showed you the way before”He said

Zhi min seemed enlightened

“Ah, its you, I took a wrong turn and now I’m here, the teacher wouldn’t let me go either”Zhi Min laughed awkwardly and said

The teacher glanced at the student

“Do you know him?”She asked

The student nodded

“Yes, his eyes can’t see so I showed him the direction to his class but it seems he took a wrong turn”The student said

The teacher turned to Zhi Min and stared at his eyes

“Ah, you should have said so, I’m so sorry, quick, since you two know each other, you take him back to his class before he gets punished by his teacher, the class zero teacher is known for being strict”She said hurriedly

The student nodded and led Zhi Min out

Zhi Min gave the teacher a smile and left the classroom, the teacher sighed and rubbed her forehead lightly.

“I screwed up, that poor child”She sighed once again and leaned back on her chair.

Zhi Min followed behind the student closely with the sound of footsteps, when the arrived in front of the classroom, he stopped, causing Zhi Min to walk into him.

“Ah, sorry”Zhi Min quickly apologised and moved to the side.

The student blushed

“I-its fine, we’re at the classroom”He said hurriedly

Zhi Min nodded

“Thank you”He walked forward steadily

“w-wait!T-that's the wa-”

Before he could finish, a loud bang was heard as Zhi Min walked into the wall.Zhi Min fell down to the ground and rubbed his head gently.

“Eh, um, c-could you move me in the direction of the doorway?”Zhi Min smiled shyly and asked

The student nodded, but someone then walked out the door and stared at Zhi Min who was on the ground.It was the class teacher.

“Zhi Min, you’re late”He said sternly

Zhi Min tilted his head

“Sorry...who is this?”Zhi Min asked

The teacher glared at him, feeling offended by his words.The student quickly explained

“Sir, he was held back by another teacher so he was late”He said quickly

The Teacher didn’t budge

“So what if he was held back, forgetting his teacher is a problem in its entirety”His eyes were serious and the student could see veins bulging out his forehead.

“S-sir, you’re his teacher, you should k-know his predicament”

“What predicament?”The teacher raised his brows and asked

“eh?Sir, this student is blind, do you not know that?That's why he took so long to get back”

The teacher was taken aback by the student’s statement

“Blind?He was just fine yesterday, how can he be blind!Stop fooling around and get lost before I detain you as well”He roared

The student shuddered

Zhi Min stood up

“Ah, sir, sorry, something went wrong yesterday and now my eyes are like this”Zhi Min smiled wryly and explained

The teacher leaned closer and stared at Zhi Min’s eyes

“hm?What happened!Your eyes were fine yesterday!Quick, come to the infirmary, we need to get you checked, I cannot let a talent like you waste away”He tossed Zhi Min over his shoulders and dashed away

Zhi Min didn’t even have a chance to say anything when he was thrown over his shoulders.All he could do now was stay quiet and wait.The student watched at Zhi Min was taken away

“Do I go back now?”He scratched his head and headed back to his class

The teacher dragged Zhi Min to the infirmary and threw him onto the bed.

“Oi, old Liu, check him up, we can’t let anything happen to him”The teacher shouted

“Who are you calling old?I’m still in my thirties, anyways, what happened, I don’t see anything wrong with him”A middle aged man seated at the desk nearby said

“His eyes were fine yesterday, tell me quickly, what happened to his eyes”

Old Liu took a closer look, his eyes flickered green as he stared at Zhi Min’s eyes.

“Strange, very strange, his eyes seems to be overflowing with spiritual strength, especially his right eye, the left eye was thus affected by this, causing both eyes to fail, lad, explain why this is so”Old Liu asked

Zhi Min tilted his head

“It might have something to do with my ability being awakened”Zhi Min said

The two immediately leaned closer

“It awakened!Why did you not tell us, very few can awaken their abilities so soon, tell me, what is your ability!”The teacher grabbed his shoulders and shook him

Zhi Min felt a bit dizzy under the shaking

“My ability enhances my vision, I’m able to see from a much further distance”Zhi Min blurted out

Old Liu rubbed his chin

“If what he said is true, then that explains why his eyes are being flooded by spiritual strength, to fix this, he cannot use his ability for a while, I’ll give you a prescription to slowly remove the spiritual strength in your eyes”He began writing down different medicinal herbs on a paper and passed it to the teacher.

“Old Yu, his ability is useful for that squadron, don’t waste this chance and ruin him, I’ll leave the gathering of herbs to you”He said

The teacher nodded

“With this, that squadron will fill up their missing role, for now, he must grow”

Zhi Min listened and had a bad feeling about what they spoke about

‘I wouldn’t be sent to war, would I?Although my ability does enhance my vision a bit, its effects are still strange, but if I’m correct, the real use is seeing through time’

The glanced at Zhi Min

“Your ability will be useful in a special squadron, but for now, don’t use it, your body is still unfamiliar with the channeling of spiritual strength, after the energy in your eyes dissipate, your body will slowly grow accustomed to it”Old Liu said slowly

Zhi Min nodded his head

“Will I still be able to attend training?”He asked

Old Yu smiled

“Of course, but your eyes…”

Zhi Min nodded

“My ears are enough”He stood up and headed for the exit.At least that's what he thought.

“Zhi Min, that's the win-”

Before Old Yu could say it, Zhi Min’s body fell through the window and landed heavily on teh other side.

“*Sigh*\, will he really be alright?”Old Yu shook his head and sighed

“He’s an interesting kid”Old Liu smiled and said

Zhi Min slowly got up, he grabbed the window sill and crawled up.

“Um, accident, accident, I can still attend the training” Zhi Min turned around and took a step forward

“That's a tre-”

Bang

Zhi Min immediately walked into a tree right outside the window, his head felt dizzy as he shook his head lightly.

“I-I think I should keep him home until he recovers”Old Yu muttered

“Its fine, he’s determined so let him learn, its not like anything bad would happ-”

Bang

They heard yet another loud impact, they glanced out the window and saw that Zhi Min had walked into the pole nearby.

“I...I take back my comment, please keep him home at all cost”Old Liu quickly said

Old Yu smiled helplessly and walked out the door.He headed outside to look for Zhi Min who was still outside.He took a turn and saw an unexpected scene.He saw Zhi Min by the wall, one hand pressed on the wall with a girl between the wall and him.

“Um, w-what c-can I-I do f-for you”The girl stuttered and asked, she blushed lightly as she stared at Zhi Min

“I’m lost, can you help lead me to my class?”Zhi Min said straightforwardly

“Ah, oh, a-alright”The girl felt embarrassed for thinking out of line, she blushed and nodded her head

Old Yu smiled wryly and walked over

“Its fine, i will take him back, you can head back to your period”He said to the girl

The girl nodded, but there was a feeling of disappointment when he said it.

“Teacher Yu, you wouldn’t force me to stop training as well, would you?”Zhi Min asked

Old Yu shook his head

“No, but I will keep you home, with how your eyes are now, I afraid you’ll hurt yourself”

Zhi Min pouted slightly and turned to the side, his blank eyes were filled with disappointment as he took a step forward.

“I still wish to attend training”He said stubbornly

Teacher Yu sighed and shook his head

“Fine, do what you want, stubborn brat”He turned around and left

Zhi in stood there motionlessly

“How do I go back now?”He mumbled, he leaned close to the wall as he slowly walked by it.His hand was placed on the wall and his steps were steady.

Zhi Min followed along the wall and went around, he soon stopped at the front where he felt a railing.

‘This should be the front’ He thought to himself and stepped forward, after a few steps, he found himself in front of a door as he stepped in.

Thinking back at which way he had to go from the front door, he took a right turn and began walking forward.

“Is this the way?”Zhi Min muttered and pushed open the door

“Who!”The moment he opened the door, a shout came from behind the door

Zhi Min paused and blinked slowly

“It seems I entered the wrong room, forgive me”He said and closed the door

But before it was completely closed, a hand reached out and pulled him into the room.The one who pulled him in was a girl, about the same age as he was.She was not fully dressed up and her body was in nearly full display.But Zhi Min didn’t know when he opened the door so he was confused since he saw nothing.

The girl grinded her teeth and dressed herself after making Zhi Min stare at the wall.He was completely confused since he didn’t even know what was going on.

“Um, I really entered the wrong room”Zhi Min said

“Shut up!This is the girl’s changeroom!How can you walk in here by mistake!”She shouted

Zhi Min scratched the back of his head and turned towards the voice.

“I can’t see anything from the beginning, why are you so angry?”Zhi Min said slowly

“You-you, shameless!After looking at my body, you still dare deny it!”

Zhi Min realised why she was so angry

“But I can’t see anything, is there really a need to get so angry?”Zhi Min looked blankly as he said

The girl squinted her eyes

“You...can’t see?”She leaned closer and waved her hand in front of Zhi Min’s face.He had no changes in his expression as he just stared blankly ahead.

She tiptoed behind him slowly and poked his back

“Who!”Zhi Min turned around quickly and grabbed her hand.

“Let go, it’s me”She called out

Zhi Min released his hand

“I’m sorry, I got into a fight early this morning so I’m a bit sensitive to people touching me from behind”Zhi Min said apologetically

“You get into a fight?”With your eyes, I bet you spent most the time punching the wall”The girl snickered and said

Zhi Min smiled

“I got lucky and hit him a few times”Zhi Min said lightly

The girl leaned in on his face

“Now that I take a closer look, you’re quite pretty, I’d say you were a girl if you weren’t completely flat”She muttered

Zhi Min smiled sweetly

“You’re the first to say this, most the other times are guys proposing to me thinking I was a girl, I’m glad you can tell”Zhi Min smiled brightly

The girl stared at his smile dumbly, she didn’t react until a bit later

“Pfft, guys proposing to you!Hahaha, this is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard!”She laughed heartily and held her stomach

Zhi Min chuckled

“I’m Zhi Min from class zero, the teacher that was meant to lead me ditched me because I chose not to listen to his suggestion, now I’m completely lost”Zhi Min smiled wryly and said

The girl threw her arm over his shoulder and around his neck

“I’m Xue Jui, you can call me sister Jui, come, I’ll take you to your class”She laughed and led him out

Zhi Min smiled

“Alright, sister Jui”Zhi Min said sweetly

Xue Jui was dazzled by Zhi Min’s smile, she stared at his face blankly and stopped moving altogether.After that, she pinched his cheeks.

“I-I’m starting to think you’re really a girl”She muttered

“ah!Sister Jui, did I do something to anger you!”Zhi Min asked hurriedly

Xue Jui shook her head and giggled

“You’re so adorable I couldn’t help myself, come, I’ll take you to your class”She said gently as she took him by the hands and walked out the changeroom.

Zhi Min felt the warmth in his hands as Xue Jui held them, he smiled gently and followed her lead.He didn’t say anything on the way as he didn’t know what to talk about in the first place, after all, this was the first time he met Xue Jui.

“Sister Jui, don’t walk so fast, I can’t even see if I’m going to walk into anything”Zhi Min said with uncertainty

“It's fine, with big sister here, how can you walk into anything?”Xue Jui smiled sweetly but still decided to walk a  bit slower.

Zhi Min nodded

“Sister Jui, how were you able to tell I was a boy right away?”Zhi Min asked

“Woman’s intuition, but also because if you were a girl pretending to be a boy, you wouldn’t have let your hair grow so long, after all, what type of disguise could it be if you let yourself be out immediately”She chuckled and said gently

Zhi Min tilted his head

“Sister is smart”He said cutely

Xue Jui felt the world lose its colours the moment Zhi Min smiled

“Zhi Zhi...can I call you little sister instead?”

Zhi Min gave a strange look

“Sister Jui...are you someone who likes to play with feelings?Because I feel emotionally attacked”Zhi Min said with a completely serious face

Xue Jui waved her hand

“No no no, of course not, its just...when I see you smile, you just look too pretty”She said hurriedly

Zhi Min nodded and smile

“So thats why, sister Jui must also be very pretty”Zhi Min said with an adorable smile

“Oh, how can you tell?”She asked

“Because sister Jui didn’t propose to me”Zhi Min said with a straight face

Pfft

Xue Jui glared at him

“Propose?What does that have anything to do with this!”

“Because sister Jui isn’t interested in me, you must either already have a boyfriend or you’re very pretty so you must also get confessed to by others, if the latter, then you will understand my pain”Zhi Min smiled bitterly

Suddenly he felt a hard flick land on his forehead

“Dummy, but you’re right, I’m tired of getting proposed to by others, however, that doesn’t mean anything as to whether I’m interested in you or not”

“So you’re interested in me?”Zhi Min asked right after she finished speaking
