Four Skills for All.

The next morning.

Mo Xiu sat in his seat listening to Zheng Yi bragging.

The whole class surrounded Zheng Yi and his companion, asking them about what happened yesterday.

"Brother Zheng, I heard you guys took down a fully grown wild beast yesterday?"

Zheng Yi sat on the table, pointing his chin to the sky, and said, "Of course, don't you even know what kind of strength your Brother Zheng and Brother Mo have? They easily beat the Demon Eagle to his knees and begged for mercy."

Mo Xiu covered his head, not wanting to listen anymore. How could he feel relaxed? Zheng Yi's skill time limit expired yesterday. If it weren't for everyone's support, he might still be lying in the hospital right now.

Zheng Yi's speech became increasingly impassioned, and he could be said to have been boasting from beginning to end, claiming that he had a plan the moment the Demon Eagle appeared, and that he knew what the next move would be as soon as the Demon Eagle made a single move.

Mo Xiu initially didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't stop the guy from patting him after saying a few words and saying, "Right, Mo Xiu?"

Mo Xiu could only bite the bullet and reply, "Yes, yes, you're right."

This passionate speech concluded with the homeroom teacher, Gao Quan, entering the classroom.

As before, Gao Quan said some encouraging words and then told everyone to go to study.

Before leaving, he called Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi away. Zheng Yi's attitude after being called out was as if to say, "See, what I said is true. Even the teacher has to ask me about the situation."

Mo Xiu and the other man followed Gao Quan to his office. After Gao Quan sat down, he pointed to the seat behind him and said, "Sit down."

"The main reason I called you here today is to tell you that we investigated all night yesterday but made no progress and are unable to determine the origin of the Demon Eagle."

Mo Xiu nodded. He and Zheng Yi were the parties involved in this matter, and the school needed to inform them of the truth.

"Furthermore, the school has unanimously decided to commend both of you across the entire school and is making every effort to add points to your college entrance examination scores."

The two men's eyes lit up at the mention of extra points for the college entrance exam, and Zheng Yi couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, how many points can you give us?"

Gao Quan shook his head and said, "It's not certain yet, but as I've already told you, things are basically settled."

Mo Xiu was also a little excited. He originally thought it was just an accident, and at most he would be praised by the whole school. He didn't expect there would be such a thing as extra points in the college entrance examination.

Gao Quan continued, "We will also inform you if there are any developments in the investigation of the Demon Eagle incident."

Mo Xiu and the other man said in unison, "Thank you, teacher."

Gao Quan waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, you all earned this yourselves."

"Zheng Yi, go back first. Mo Xiu, stay here."

Mo Xiu and the other man stood up at the same time, but when they heard Gao Quan tell them to stay, they sat back down.

Mo Xiu didn't understand what Gao Quan meant, or why he wanted to leave him alone.

After Zheng Yi left, Gao Quan changed his serious expression and said with a hint of amusement, "Mo Xiu, you're really something. I never thought you could come into contact with someone of Elder Tang's level."

Mo Xiu looked puzzled. "Old Tang?"

Gao Quan leaned back in his chair and said, "Alright, stop pretending. It was Old Tang who asked me to talk to you. He even recommended you to the Cosmic Tutoring Center. What are you pretending for?"

Mo Xiu was even more confused. What was all this about?

"Teacher Gao, you must have the wrong person. I don't know Teacher Tang at all, and I've never heard of any 'Cosmic Tutoring Class.' If this involves classified information, I won't tell anyone."

Mo Xiu thought that Gao Quan must have come to the wrong person, otherwise he wouldn't have been completely unable to understand anything.

Gao Quan fell silent after hearing Mo Xiu's words, as if he was pondering something.

"Um... teacher, may I go now?"

"Don't go, I haven't come to the wrong person. Since you don't know the specifics, let me explain."

Mo Xiu nodded.

"Whether you know Mr. Tang or not, this opportunity to enter the Cosmic Tutoring Class is extremely rare. I know you have never heard of the Cosmic Tutoring Class, but you must have heard of Shadow."

Mo Xiu's eyes lit up. The name Shadow was probably familiar to everyone. This organization, which belonged to the Alliance but was not subject to its constraints, was the aspiration of many.

Shadows are similar to secret enforcers. They are relatively free in their daily lives and can choose to accept or refuse missions. They are only summoned when the Alliance needs to carry out some key missions, and even then, they can refuse.

This is equivalent to having status and money, but with complete freedom of time; you can even refuse any assignments if you don't want to.

"I know about Shadow, so what does this tutoring center have to do with Shadow?"

"Graduating from the cosmic cram school will most likely result in becoming a Shadow."

Mo Xiu was shocked. He knew that the selection process for Shadow was extremely rigorous. Only those who had entered university could apply to become Shadows, and the minimum requirement for application was to have two skills.

The name "Cosmic Tutoring Class" sounds more like a special training camp for the period leading up to the college entrance examination.

"Teacher, I only have one skill. Is it really possible for me to become a Shadow earlier?"

Gao Quan gave Mo Xiu a deep look and said, "Okay, as long as you can graduate from the cram school smoothly."

"Understood."

Are you planning to participate?

"join!"

Although it was somewhat inexplicable, Mo Xiu didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Okay, call home and let them know that I'm going to the cram school tonight for ten days, which is the day before the college entrance exam."

"Huh? So suddenly?"

Even Mo Xiu couldn't stay calm. This was far too hasty! Leaving today and only returning before the college entrance exam?

"Is there a problem?"

"No! No... there's a problem."

"What's the problem?"

"Who is Mr. Tang? I don't know him. Why would he recommend me to the Cosmic Tutoring Center?"

After a moment's thought, Gao Quan said, "Since he doesn't want you to know, don't ask. You'll meet him sooner or later."

"Okay, I'll head out now."

"Okay, let's go. By the way, you can't tell anyone about this, not even your family. Just tell everyone that you've been sent to another city as an exchange student."

Mo Xiu increasingly felt that this cosmic tutoring class was not simple, but Gao Quan, as his homeroom teacher, had no reason to lie to him.

"Understood……"

Back in the classroom, it was lunchtime soon. Zheng Yi pressed Mo Xiugao for details about what he had said to him.

Mo Xiu also told Zheng Yi what Gao Quan, the exchange student, had said.

"Wow, that's awesome, buddy. I've never heard of an exchange student before. Which city and school are you going to?"

Mo Xiu gave Zheng Yi a knowing look and replied, "Don't you know which school it is?"

Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Um... hi, I know."

Mo Xiu had already walked several steps away, but Zheng Yi was still standing there muttering to himself.

"Which school is it?"

Mo Xiu said it on purpose, so that, given Zheng Yi's personality, he would pretend to know first, and then ask Mo Xiu if he really couldn't figure it out later.

What will happen when Zheng Yi realizes what's happening? Mo Xiu will have already arrived at the Cosmic Tutoring Center.

Since the training ground was under repair, there was no way to train in the afternoon, which gave Mo Xiu a good opportunity to go home and pack his luggage.

After parting ways with Zheng Yi, Mo Xiu had just stepped out of the school gate when a girl stopped him.

"Hello, Senior Mo, may I bother you for a moment?"

"Who are you?"

"Ah! My name is Ye Qian'er. You saved me yesterday. Thanks to you, I only suffered minor injuries."

Mo Xiu slapped his forehead. It turned out to be the girl who had been captured by the demon eagle yesterday. No wonder she looked somewhat familiar.

"What do you need me for?"

Ye Qian'er put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and dared not look at Mo Xiu.

Seeing that Ye Qian'er did not respond, Mo Xiu asked again.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Upon hearing Mo Xiu's words, Ye Qian'er seemed to be startled awake, her whole body trembled, and she took her hands out from behind her back.

He was carrying a paper bag and hurriedly tossed it to Mo Xiu.

"Thank you, senior. Here, take this."

After saying that, he turned and ran away...
