Upon arriving at the library, Lao Er was nowhere to be found, only Lao Da was sitting alone reading. Surprisingly to Du You, there weren’t many people here. He originally thought a lot of folks would be reading here, but it turned out it was only a very few. Content orıginally comes from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 The Semi-Awakened were even fewer than the Professionals, huddled in corners, not daring to disturb others. As for the Awakeners, aside from Lao Da, there were only two left. Du You picked out a few books from the side, then sat next to Lao Da. "Where is Lao Er, why didn’t he come?" Du You asked quietly. As he opened a book, Du You tried not to make too much noise, considering they were in a library. Lao Da, without raising his head, also lowered his voice and said, "He left. Lao Er is not the type to sit still. If there’s anything important, I’ll tell him after I figured it out." Du You quietly nodded, that was quite normal. Lao Er tended to fight more than he thought. If he had to stay in one place to read, it would be more painful than death for him. Suddenly, Lao Da whispered, "We have news of Lao Si." "What? Lao Si, where is he now? I haven’t seen him for several days." Although Lao Si didn’t become an Awakener like them, Du You sincerely hoped that he could have a good life in the future. However, being entangled by a woman, who knows what could happen. "Lao Si has been to Xiao Yun’s house, and the people there seem to be quite okay with him. He’s now training to awaken next time with Xiao Yun. Word is, as long as Lao Si succeeds in awakening, they approve his relationship with Xiao Yun." Du You’s face darkened: "Given Lao Si’s personality, I fear he might purposely fail." Regardless, there were three chances to awaken, so Lao Si can still have another go if he fails once. For Lao Si, being tied to a woman and unable to mingle with other women would be unbearable. "Hehe, I thought the same. However, Xiao Yun’s family has already prepared for that. If Lao Si fails, then it proves that he’s not good enough for Xiao Yun. To cut off Xiao Yun’s hopes, hehe..." "What will they do? How are they planning to handle it?" Du You asked anxiously. Lao Da shook his head: "I’m not sure about the specifics, but judging from Lao Si’s circumstances, it probably isn’t good. His training lately is much more serious than before." "Really? That’s great, with Lao Si’s abilities and talents, he’s even better than us when he’s serious." What Du You said was not wrong. Lao Si was certainly the most talented among them. He previously had the highest probability of becoming an Awakener while at the dormitory. But this guy never took training seriously, most of his time was spent flirting with girls. With all that, he still managed to develop his abilities to this level, showing just how incredible Lao Si’s talents were. "So, that means Lao Si will be back soon." "No, Xiao Yun’s family has high expectations of him, so they are planning two years of training, preparing to awaken when they turn twenty. We may not see Lao Si after that." Is that so? Du You was a bit disappointed but also felt relieved for Lao Si. "Oh and another thing, Xi Qianxue managed to attract most of the Awakeners, planning to form an alliance. She wants to move together in the coming days, what do you think?" Lao Da’s words took Du You by surprise. "Xi Qianxue is not simple indeed. But I don’t mind. Anyway, we’ll part ways after college entrance exams so this alliance can’t possibly last." "You’re right, possibly we can benefit from this alliance. With this power backup, we might perform better in the college entrance exams." "So, you agree to join, Lao Da?" Lao Da gently nodded: "Yes, I plan to join, but Lao Er doesn’t want to. He has his own ideas and seems to be heading the Guild way. As for you, take your time to think, no need to rush." Lao Da has always been like a big brother, caring about their wellbeing above all else. Du You would’ve moved forward with him in any other case, but for this, he really needed to think hard. To bring out his capabilities, Du You had to go at it alone. After all, he had two professions, he had too many secrets. If he joined up with others, there’s no telling what might happen. No matter how beautiful the girl is, he needs to stay alive to enjoy her charms. And Xi Qianxue was no ordinary woman, it would be surprising if she had a simple attraction for him. As an older person in his past life, Du You never relied on luck, so he focused on doing his best. "Then, I’d better think it over." "Sure, even if you refuse, Xi Qianxue won’t give up on you, you can join anytime. You have the best talents among us." Lao Da’s mouth slightly curled up as he seemed to find something amusing. Yes, Xi Qianxue had good abilities, but his own brothers were still better than her. As long as Xi Qianxue couldn’t be the best, Lao Da seemed to be happy. Who knows what he was thinking. For the next two days, Du You spent most of his time reading in the library. By the second night, the Law aura on Du You had finally vanished. Du You heaved a sigh of relief. After all, their first school-organized mission was tomorrow, he couldn’t afford any slip-ups. After resting well that night, Du You, armed with an ordinary steel longsword, made his way to school the next day. Their dorm had been vacated, nobody lived there anymore. It wasn’t that they couldn’t live there, but after becoming Awakeners, they had a lot of freedom. They could live in the old dorm, the new dorm, or even at home, no one minded. After getting his things sorted, Du You proceeded towards school. Many people had already arrived at the new teaching building. A large warehouse-like structure had somehow appeared in the square. As soon as she saw Du You come, Xi Qianxue walked towards him. Others around started to glare at Du You. Indeed, the troubles brought by a goddess were always vast no matter where one goes. "Du You, it has been hard to find you these past days. I heard you’ve been in the library, but I had some matters which kept me away, I’m really sorry." As soon as Xi Qianxue approached, she began with an apology.
