God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Going to an internet café was unrealistic; he had to find a safe channel to browse information with peace of mind.

This was also a very urgent matter.

After explaining the complications caused by Qin Siyang, the teacher once again brought the topic back to introducing the eight academies and their admission methods.

However, Qin Siyang did not listen at all.

Because for him, applying to ordinary people's academies was meaningless.

Right now, his entire mind was filled with curiosity about the matters concerning higher education institutions for Sequence Ability Users.

The examination for Sequence Ability Users—was it held alongside the college entrance exam? That would be in just half a year?

The teacher had just mentioned that universities for Sequence Ability Users could only be applied to by students who awakened their abilities before the college entrance exam and that there was only one chance for assessment.

In other words, he had to publicly reveal his Sequence Ability within six months and register with the Sequence Ability Users Management Bureau?

Time was pressing.

He also considered what would happen if he didn't go to a Sequence Ability university but instead entered society after graduating high school and revealed his abilities at the right moment.

If he went outside the Safe Zone to hunt divine creatures, he might improve rapidly.

But without receiving proper education on Sequence Abilities, his perspective could be significantly limited.

For example, he didn't know exactly what Sequence Elixirs were, didn't understand the equipment frequently mentioned on forums, and was curious why anti-air glass and protective glass could block divine creatures.

He had many questions that he believed could be answered in university.

Most importantly, the fact that the United Government could establish universities for Sequence Ability Users meant there was already a well-developed education system and curriculum. There must be many things within that he did not yet know or understand.

Since he wasn't in a hurry, why not go to a Sequence Ability university, learn everything about Sequence Abilities properly, and then improve his strength.

As the saying goes,"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping firewood."

He had to go to a university for Sequence Ability Users.

It offered a better platform, which meant better opportunities.

After envisioning his future, Qin Siyang's mind returned to the present.

Three words surfaced in his mind once again.

Liu Dazhi.

Since the moment he had opened his eyes yesterday morning, this name had repeatedly appeared in his thoughts.

He could hardly wait to get rid of Liu Dazhi and then proceed with his plan to reveal his identity as a Sequence Ability User.

Liu Dazhi was the final shackle binding him.

It had to be broken.

———

After school, Qin Siyang carried the meal he had gotten from the cafeteria and once again headed to the library.

"Hello, Teacher Zhu!"

Teacher Zhu was tidying up the bookshelves. Seeing Qin Siyang arrive, she was slightly surprised,"Xiao Qin, why are you here again after school? Didn't you say before that coming at noon was enough? Don't let this take up your study time."

[T/N: 'Xiao' is a note of affection used by older for younger or for pets and such. Like 'Little Qin']

In the past, Qin Siyang had to hurry home after school because he needed to do Li Jingwen's homework.

It was precisely because he had taken homework seriously—needing to understand the lessons taught in class—that he unexpectedly benefited from it and managed to rank around the top 100 in his grade.

But a ranking of around 100 had no real significance other than self-consolation.

After being reborn, Qin Siyang no longer wasted effort on such meaningless things, nor did he care about studying. So there was no need to rush home anymore.

He knew that Teacher Zhu would stay behind after school to sort books alone. Qin Siyang didn't want such a kind teacher to work by herself, so he came to the library again after school.

"It's fine. A little time won't make a difference in studying. I've been in the classroom all day—I'm tired. I came to help you sort books and relax a bit."

"But…"

"Besides, I'm already part of the library's 'Diligent and Frugal Study' program. This is what I should do."

Teacher Zhu smiled,"Such a good kid. Alright, then, let's organize together."

"Mm."

Qin Siyang put down the bag containing his lunchbox and busied himself in the library.

Meanwhile, Li Jingwen and her group watched him from a distance.

"Leng Jingwen, are you really going to follow him? With so many of us, he'll definitely notice once we leave the school."

"The informant must be someone from the school. Qin Siyang lives in a remote area and never walks home with anyone. So that traitor must have reported him from within the school. He's bound to meet with that snitch somewhere on campus."

"Besides, he used to leave school immediately after class, but yesterday, he came to the library. Something's fishy."

"I didn't compare answers with Zhou Yang yesterday, nor did I bring him breakfast. He's already started ignoring me. If I find the informant, I have to teach her how to behave properly."

"Alright, we'll help you."

Leng Jingwen's friends accompanied her, staking out the library from a distance.

Qin Siyang never imagined that he would be monitored while working in the library. Seeing Teacher Zhu's kind smile, he felt completely at ease and didn't bother staying alert.

While sorting books, he noticed a female student sitting on the floor next to a bookshelf, attentively flipping through a practice workbook.

This was another characteristic of the school library.

Besides regular books, it also housed some practice books related to college entrance exams for students to borrow.

Because of these workbooks, the library attracted some academically outstanding students from impoverished backgrounds every day. Otherwise, it would have been completely deserted.

Qin Siyang reminded the diligent girl, "Classmate, the library is closing soon. Please leave."

"Ah… oh."

The girl lifted her head to glance at him before obediently returning the workbook to its original place.

When their eyes met, Qin Siyang's gaze paused slightly.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her clear, bright eyes sparkled like a bubbling spring. With a delicate nose and cherry-red lips, her features were sharp and incredibly refined.

"Sorry for disturbing your closing time."

The female student bowed to both Qin Siyang and Teacher Zhu before quickly leaving with her backpack.

Qin Siyang didn't have a deep impression of her and couldn't recall who she was at first.

But Teacher Zhu sighed,"Wen Shu is such a well-behaved child—smart and obedient. If only my granddaughter could be like her."

Teacher Zhu's husband had passed away early, leaving only their son, daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter at home.

While working in the library, Qin Siyang often heard Teacher Zhu praising her granddaughter's intelligence and good behavior.

This was the first time he had heard her say her granddaughter was inferior to someone else.

However, Teacher Zhu's words also revealed the girl's identity.

Qin Siyang suddenly understood.

So it was Wen Shu.

Her name was legendary.

In every exam, she ranked first in their grade, significantly ahead of second place. She was indisputably the top seed of Ju'an School.

Top students naturally enjoyed privileges. The principal, directors, and teachers all took special care of her. For example, other students were scolded for not doing their homework, but she wasn't punished at all.

Not only could she skip homework, but she was also allowed to study in the library during class without interference from any teacher.

A student like her had already surpassed their subject teachers in exam-taking ability.

She was both stunningly beautiful and academically outstanding—the school's undisputed campus belle. Many boys pursued her, but she politely rejected them all.

In this lifetime, like Qin Siyang, Wen Shu also came from a poor family and lived with her grandmother.

In his previous life, Qin Siyang had heard that she had been admitted to Qingbei University, but he never heard about her afterward.

After all, after the college entrance exam, they were no longer in the same world. He had no reason to inquire.

However, at a later class reunion, he overheard some girls mention that she had passed away at a young age due to illness.

In his past life, Qin Siyang had been wholly focused on Leng Jingwen, so he never paid attention to Wen Shu. [T/N: Seems like it is going to be single female lead.]
