C2 School Goddess Selina
The system?
Su Xiaoyu might not have grasped the significance of the term.
But Lin Luo knew all too well.
He urgently inquired, "Where is the system?"
Su Xiaoyu felt a twinge of embarrassment. It seemed that Senior Lin Luo's condition might be beyond help.
He hesitated, "It's in my dreams. Whenever you sleep, you seem to dream about the system materializing."
"Xiaoyu, I'm entrusting the recruitment task for the Dawn Society to you. The very survival of our society hinges on this; you must succeed. I'm feeling a bit drowsy, so I'm going to find somewhere to catch some sleep."
With Su Xiaoyu looking on, bewildered, Lin Luo took off at a sprint.
Only a few meters out, Lin Luo encountered a group heading his way.
At the forefront stood a woman, tall and imposing, her golden locks billowing in the breeze.
She was none other than Selina, the Goddess of the Psionic Academy of Star Glory City.
As the president of the student council and one of the academy's top three experts, her Spiritual Energy growth score was a remarkable 9.1. An Ice Special Ability Awakened, she also presided over the Thorns Society.
In essence, Selina was the embodiment of the Psionic Academy of Star Glory City.
Her presence here was to greet this year's exceptional newcomer.
Yet, Lin Luo remained oblivious to her arrival.
With everyone watching in astonishment, he strode towards Selina.
Selina watched Lin Luo approach, a hint of amusement playing on her lips. She suddenly proposed, "Lin Luo, I'm surprised to see you here. Would you be interested in joining our Thorns Society?"
Selina was well-acquainted with Lin Luo, the record-setter of the academy, and found herself intrigued by him.
Lin Luo's Spiritual Energy growth score was a mere 3. He would never qualify as a Psionic Warrior.
But he was a concealed academic powerhouse. The only one to outshine Selina in theoretical knowledge.
She had perused all the papers he'd published at the academy.
His thoughts were fresh, his insights, profound.
He was an ideal candidate for tactical command training.
No sooner had Selina spoken than a buzz swept through the students.
Even the academy's newest recruits knew that the Thorns Society was the premier club of the institution.
The perks were great, and the place was teeming with beauties.
But the bar was set high.
And yet, President Serena was extending an invitation to someone like Lin Luo, a nobody?
What was the deal?
Selina's backers, the core members of the Thorns Society, were at a loss for words.
She had many virtues, though her curiosity was a bit much.
At that moment, Lin Luo was preoccupied with thoughts of the system, completely oblivious to Selina's words.
Noticing someone blocking his path, he instinctively said, "You're in my way. Please step aside."
As soon as Lin Luo spoke, the crowd around him froze.
What had they just heard?
Lin Luo had turned down Selina's invitation.
Was he out of his mind?
Didn't he realize that joining the Thorns meant the chance to be near the Goddess?
Even if it was just to admire her from a distance, it was a delight to behold.
Every man there envied Lin Luo, wishing they were in his shoes.
Selina's smile stiffened as she gave Lin Luo a significant look.
By tomorrow, the Dawn Society would be no more.
Was Lin Luo unaware of the predicament he was in?
Indeed.
The decree to dissolve the Dawn Society had come from her.
Selina was determined to rejuvenate the Psionic Academy and attract its brightest.
Lin Luo possessed a rare gift for tactical command, yet he squandered his days immersed in the War Net.
In her eyes, Lin Luo was squandering his potential.
Then, with a hint of regret, Selina said, "I apologize, I'm in your way."
With that, she stepped aside.
Her fellow club members followed suit, making room for him.
Still, their eyes remained fixed on Lin Luo, a touch of schadenfreude in their gaze.
The line of those vying for President Serena's attention could wrap around the entire Psionic Academy.
The last person who dared to snub her like this was still bedridden in the hospital.
Lin Luo's days ahead were sure to be challenging.
Watching Lin Luo decline Selina's offer, Su Xiaoyu whispered to herself, "This is it. The president has completely lost it."
Unaware of the impending doom, Lin Luo was unfazed.
Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter to him.
The system was his priority.
Once he had the system, everything else was insignificant.
Guided by Su Xiaoyu's directions, Lin Luo located the dormitory at the Psionic Academy of Star Glory City. He stretched out on the bed and began to count sheep in an attempt to drift off to sleep.
Before long, Lin Luo succumbed to slumber.
In the midst of his dream, the familiar voice echoed once more.
"I can sense the presence of Spiritual Energy within you!"
"Are you certain you wish to transform all your Spiritual Energy into chakra?"
