Blood Assimilation

After walking for a few minutes more minutes, Randy had finally reached the vicinity of the entrance of the academy. 

There were other students walking with their friends happily talking about various things. 

Randy walked past a group of the students as he made his way towards the academy's gate in the distance.

However, some of the students recognized him when walked by and immediately started pointing fingers at him.

"Hey, isn't he that loser who still hadn't awakened his ability yet, even though he was already 18 years old?" A student said.

"Eh? Really? There was someone like that in our academy? How come I didn't know about it?" A student who was ignorant asked the other student.

"You're probably a freshman, that's why. They said that he tried to awaken his ability so many times already but ultimately failed to do so. And I even heard that he does not even have any energy compatibility."

"Wow, someone like that actually exists in this academy? Especially with how easy it was to awaken nowadays if you simply visit the awakening center, but you're telling me that he failed even with that?"

"That's right, he is most likely the only one in this academy who hadn't awakened even though he went to the awakening center so many times. His parents wasted so much, but he still failed to impress them, Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a trash!"

"That's right, that's right, why is he even still in this academy?"

"I heard that his basic statistics were higher than some of the awakened, hell, I heard he best base basic statistics before awakening in the entire school. But none of that matters if he cannot awaken his ability now does it?"

"That's true, after all, physical strength alone is not enough to survive in this world." 

…

As he walked by Randy heard this, but he did not react to this at all. 

After all, who cares what they think about him when he had already awakened his ability?

With that thought in mind, he did not pay them any heed as he continued walking forward and soon passed through the academy's gate, making his way towards his class.

…

The class went on as usual with the instructor basically reviewing some of the subjects needed for their university entrance examination.

However, unexpectedly, at the end of the day, their instructor suddenly spoke to them after their last lesson.

"Alright, settle down! I have a piece of important news to announce to you all!" The instructor said.

And then he proceeded to wait after mentioning this.

Everyone in the class tacitly understood his intention and so, they immediately stopped whatever they were doing and then attentively perked up their ears to carefully listen.

After the instructor saw that everyone had shut their mouth, only then did he open his mouth once again to speak: "As you all know, the university entrance examination is only about a month away and due to that, every student participating should be preparing themselves to register depending on whether they want to participate this year or not, as some of you might have to repeat your year if you do not meet the basic requirement. This week is the only time to register for the university entrance examination that will be taking place in early July."

He gave them time to digest his word and then he continued: "Every student who meets the necessary requirement both academically and in terms of ability mastery should come after school to register themselves for the exam. Although you have until Friday to register, it was still a better standard of practice to register earlier if you want to be placed in the best location for your chosen examination center."

He paused and after recalling something, he then added: "That's right, those who register for the entrance examination would be receiving special practical training from the academy during their break; this would be a closed-off practical training, meaning communication would be isolated from the outside world to better enable full concentration of the students during the entire. And so, after registering, those who would like to gain experience fighting beasts should sign up for this real-world practical training. Also, you could consider this practical training session from the academy as the same as the practical session of the university entrance examination so if you decided to sign up, I can guarantee that it will boost your chances of entering a good university."

After he finished speaking, there was a brief moment of silence in the classroom.

And then there was a clamor within the classroom, some were engaged in discussion, some were excited, and others had dejected expressions on their faces.

That was because, those who did not meet the requirement will have no choice but to go to ordinary universities that focused mainly on raising elites in magical engineering, technology, and or other forms of sciences.

A few moments later, those who did not meet the requirement suddenly found solace as they immediately turned to the one person in this entire academy who had not even managed to awaken his ability, let alone meet the requirement.

Randy felt several strange gazes on him at this moment and after pondering why, he immediately understood what these fellow classmates were thinking, however, his expression did not change as he packed his stuff since the school was about to end.

Only he knew that he had awakened, so it does not matter. Wait, there was one other person who knew, which was Jiang Chen, but there was nothing to worry about since he knew that Jiang Chen was not the kind of person who would spread his secret. 

In any case, he plans on registering, and only then would they be made aware of his awakening.

At this point, Jeremiah who was slightly in front of him was glaring at him from the corner of his eyes. 

Randy had noticed for a while that Jeremiah had been occasionally glaring at him throughout the entire day during the class. 

However, he did not pay anything to him as now was not yet the time for him to exact his true revenge. 

He had to find a perfect time and place to exact his revenge, after all the other party was the son of the director of the ministry of education, so he could not directly confront them.
