Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 23: Nationwide Physical Examination

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The blood draw took place in groups of 10 and at the moment when Lu Shu wanted to claim that he would faint upon the sight of blood, one guy beside him actually fainted from the sight of blood, falling onto the ground.

However!

A scene which troubled Lu Shu happened! The group of nurses, surprisingly, did not care about the fainted child and continued to draw his blood while he was unconscious…

Damn… how unlucky!

Furthermore, during the process of watching the others getting their blood drawn, Lu Shu was able to feel a fluctuation of power from the nurse behind him. If anyone was to tell Lu Shu that this bunch of nurses were not those guys in the black coats, there was no way he would ever believe them!

Who had ever seen blood drawing being so forceful and mandatory? And who had ever witnessed a metahuman being a supervisor for a physical examination? And all the other male nurses… were they soldiers?

Lu Shu cannot be conflicted anymore, what if the other party catches on to his unusual behavior and suspected him?

“Just take my blood”, Lu Shu had a tragic look on his face. He had tightly locked up the stars in his map within him and even stopped his day-time abilities before stretching out his arm.

He then realized that even after he had gone through those steps, this group of nurses did not seem to change the way they looked at him at all.

Could it be that they were really unable to sense anything?

As he looked at his blood getting drawn from his arm, he thought: at least the dark, red blood did not look to be different from usual. Lu Shu felt that after drawing his blood, this group of people would probably make their next move.

Lu Shu suddenly recognized that this group actually comprised so many metahumans. It seemed as though their preparation had been very extensive.

Since the government was the first to know and first to act, fragmented individuals would be unable to resist them, no? Even then, they would have to go up against a coordinated and disciplined team of metahumans.

From the look of things, it seemed like every development in the current situation was all part of their plan.

But… will they be in control forever?

The thought of such a magnificent world existing was breathtaking for Lu Shu as he looked forward to such a scene. If those A and B class and even C-class metahumans had powers which could go against modern weapons, would they still be willing to be suppressed?

Would they still accept orders from ordinary people?

Everyone had some ambition in them.

After this afternoon’s blood draw, the school did not release the students early but instead required them to conduct self-study in the classroom.

Lu Shu was too bored so he took out his phone and started browsing through the forums. Currently, the forums seemed to be rather interesting as all of them seemed to be discussing the metahuman situation.

One of the threads which with one of the highest views had caught the attention of Lu Shu. Its title was: This afternoon, I found out that the three cities had surprisingly conducted a wide-scale blood test at the same time.

In the thread, the poster’s landlord was a senior in the school and his afternoon classes got suddenly canceled and a physical examination was held instead. After that, he had found out from his classmates from his previous high school that it was the same for them as well! Even in the other cities, this was the case!

There was a group of people replying to this thread:

I’m from Xing Zhou and the high schools here are conducting this physical examination too!

Here from Ying Chuan, the high schools here are doing it as well!

All these thousands of replies were mostly explaining that they had a physical examination on their side as well, with the replies all from students.

As for the schools which did not start as early and for those who were overseas and unable to make it back on time, their parents were notified by a phone call that the next time the physical examination would be in a week’s time. If the students did not participate in the check-up according to their assigned schedule, it would adversely affect their testimonial files.

This was surely too oppressing.

Lu Shu felt rather agitated inside. What was destined to happen would definitely occur and the government’s wide-scale check-up could have possibly drawn open the curtains of the future world!

Sharing the desk with Lu Shu was an ordinary girl called Ye Lingling. Since she liked to gossip about others, her relationship with the rest was not very good. In the end, Lu Shu, who was ranked first in class and had a sour relationship with the rest, shared the same table with this girl who was ranked second in class…

This girl would always look for Lu Shu to gossip about the class but he had found it rather irritating. They were not even close and whatever gossip it was, Lu Shu was not interested at all.

Ye Lingling peeked over at Lu Shu who was working on the test, “Lu Shu, do you think that this metahuman situation is believable? If you were to awaken, what kind of abilities would you wish for?”

Lu Shu stopped writing, could the metahuman abilities be even chosen by oneself?

He turned around and replied Ye Lingling with a serious tone, “Freedom, equality, the rule of law, richness and power, democracy, intelligence, harmony, patriotism, dedication, honesty, friendship… …”

Ye Lingling was stunned? “???”

I asked you about the metahumans and if you did not believe in them then so be it. Why did you list out the core moral values of society?!

“From Ye Lingling’s distress, +76… …”

Lu Shu was elated as the first day of school was literally a harvest to him. From the look of it, it seemed like his distress points could exceed 4000 and after he reaching home tonight, he would definitely use it in this Mischief System of his.

In the end, Ye Lingling had a loose mouth indeed. While all of them were passionately debating over the metahumans, everyone in the class knew one thing: Lu Shu did not believe in the existence of metahumans.

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. It was such an obvious fact, and it was as if he did not believe in it as he didn’t have the chance to awaken his powers.

The Golden Foundation and the incident regarding Class 7’s Li Qi were the best examples of the case for metahumans. In everyone’s mind, they immediately formed an impression of Lu Shu being stubborn and that he had given up all hope of becoming a metahuman.

“It’s up to him to believe it or not. Anyway, it seems to me that he has no chance of becoming a metahuman at all. Just leave him to live in his own world.”

“His studies are indeed great but if everyone awakens to their powers, perhaps education would be rather obsolete in the future.”

All of them had silently acknowledged that Lu Shu was someone who would never awaken to his powers and even if every person in the country were to become metahumans, he would most likely be the last to become one.

Originally sidelined, Lu Shu was now thoroughly excluded from this social circle.

Those who were part of this social circle were the type of people who felt that they could be a metahuman and those who were outside of this circle were the people who they thought could not become a metahuman.

Just because of this metahuman situation, a huge rift was formed in this class which had gotten along so well originally.

It was as if… upon becoming a metahuman, you would be able to reach the skies.

Lu Shu had heard all of their discussion but did not really care about it since he was getting along in life quite well. Right now, his priorities were to not get into an argument with them but rather, to attain the Refresher Fruits as soon as possible to increase his upper limits and then break out of Class E.

He did not let his classmate’s verdict get to him, and from their enthusiasm about the metahumans, Lu Shu had noticed something: Perhaps, this matter had already spiraled into an international situation!

Pure, brute strength was, without a doubt, admired by others. But those naturally Class E metahumans were also admired by Lu Shu.

What change would occur if Lu Shu was to light up all of the stars in the first nebula? He just had to wait and see…
