Accidental Hit

Eve had been absent from the vampire community for so long that many had almost forgotten that such a princess even existed.

Therefore, using three Earls as a stepping stone to establish her authority was perfect for Eve to deter those with ulterior motives.

After descending the stairs, Winnie and Eve went their separate ways.

To welcome the princess’s return, Winnie still needed to make some preparations in advance to ensure everything was foolproof.

As for Eve, she had to return to the superhuman school on time to report in and head to the Northern Border Defense City with the school’s main contingent.

Eve looked back one more time at the building where Su Ran lived behind her, then turned and left.

Thanks to the convenient transportation in Jiangbei City and the lack of traffic jams, Eve returned to the superhuman school within the designated assembly time.

At this moment, many vehicles were parked in front of the school gate, and there were also many parents who had come to see their children off.

The matter of going to the border city for training was not unique to one superhuman school.

This rule was established for all superhuman schools, with the purpose of making them mindful of danger in times of peace, to constantly realize that peace is fleeting, and that the battles between humans, vampires, and magical beasts were happening at every moment.

Since it was training, it also meant there would be casualties.

Even with the presence of supervising teachers, it was impossible to avoid incidents of students dying during their training at the border city.

Therefore, many parents came to the school gate to urge their children not to be reckless.

Some parents would also buy suitable weapons for their children or ask the teachers to take extra care of them.

Just as Eve returned to the school, her practical class teacher, Bai Yun, was being surrounded by parents.

“Eve, I finally see you. I thought you wouldn’t make it in time for departure.”

A boy walked quickly towards Eve.

He was sturdy and tall, with neat short hair and bright, spirited eyes.

Hearing someone call her name, Eve turned, maintaining an appropriately distant demeanor, “Class President Zhou, is there something I can help you with?”

The boy, who had been walking quickly, faltered upon hearing Eve’s words.

His pace slowed, and he scratched his head, “I saw it was almost time to leave and was worried you’d run into trouble and not make it.”

The class president before her was named Zhou Tianyang, one of the people Lily had mentioned who pestered Eve.

However, due to a good upbringing and a proper sense of propriety, he was the only one among the several who pestered Eve who could actually exchange a few words with her.

After all, when faced with a polite person who knew when to advance and when to retreat, Eve was not so cold as to put on an attitude that pushed people a thousand miles away.

“Teacher Bai Yun told me the departure time.”

Eve nodded, which counted as thanking Zhou Tianyang.

“Oh, right!” Zhou Tianyang seemed to remember something and said to Eve, “Do you want to join our group for the trip to the border city this time? My dad assigned me a bodyguard.”

Since there were cases of students dying during the border city training, the business of bodyguards naturally arose along with the students’ training trips.

Parents with means would usually hire bodyguards to protect their children.

There was definitely a difference in the level of protection between a bodyguard dedicated to one person and a teacher who needed to look after a whole group.

However, the price of such a specialized bodyguard was also correspondingly much higher.

Clearly, Zhou Tianyang’s background was not simple.

Unfortunately for him, he was facing Eve.

In her eyes, any background was like a passing cloud, completely meaningless.

“Sorry, I’m used to being alone.”

Shaking her head, Eve directly and bluntly refused Zhou Tianyang’s invitation.

Any roundabout refusal would only give the other party unrealistic hope.

Only a direct refusal could cleanly sever the connection.

Eve prepared to walk over and tell Bai Yun that she had returned.

“Eve, wait!”

Zhou Tianyang’s voice came from behind again.

Eve turned to look at him, her eyes filled with inquiry, “Is there anything else?”

This time, Zhou Tianyang quietly lowered his voice and explained to Eve, “The consent forms everyone submitted before were supposedly discovered to have been secretly opened last night. Remember to be careful. Teacher Bai will probably have everyone fill them out again today.”

Zhou Tianyang’s words caused a flash of coldness in Eve’s eyes.

She stared at him and asked, “How did you know about this? Did you do it?”

The consent forms contained a lot of private information and were essentially every student’s weak spot.

If the form she had written was unsealed, it meant the other party could very likely find Su Ran based on the clues on it.

‘It seems I’ll have to have Winnie stay here for a while.’

Even though Winnie was her personal maid, Eve still decided to have Winnie protect Su Ran’s safety in her stead, to prevent any accidents.

At the same time, Zhou Tianyang, who was being stared at by Eve, felt as if he were in an ice cellar despite the scorching summer heat.
Sweat soaked through his entire shirt.

‘We’re the same age, but I can’t understand why the gap between me and Eve is so big.’

“It wasn’t me!” Faced with Eve’s questioning, Zhou Tianyang could only reply with a bitter smile, “Knowing about it and having the ability to unseal the files are two different things. Unsealing the files is something only the school’s upper management has the authority to do. So it’s always right to be careful.”

According to Zhou Tianyang’s words, it meant that a high-level person within the school had specifically unsealed the students’ files.
But what was this for?

Eve was not particularly concerned about this question.

It was only because it involved Su Ran’s safety that she paid special attention to what Zhou Tianyang said.

“I understand, thank you.”

Watching Eve’s departing back, Zhou Tianyang could only shake his head helplessly.

After this time, he finally understood the gap between himself and Eve.

It was clear that the fluttering in his heart, once buried deep, could never be realized.

After Eve returned and met with Bai Yun, just as Zhou Tianyang had said, the school gathered everyone and told them about the files being secretly unsealed.

It caused an uproar among the students.

This was no small matter.

Because if they were to die, the beneficiary’s account would receive a large sum of money, and this process was basically confidential.

But now that it had been peeked at, it meant the other party might know who the beneficiaries were, and their families could be in danger.

Not to mention, there was other information on there as well.

To appease the students’ dissatisfaction, the school promised this time that if a student had an accident, as long as a relative had superhuman abilities, they could get an enrollment spot.

One had to know that the enrollment spots for superhuman schools were usually allocated, but this school where Eve was, besides allocation, also looked at potential.

When the school promised a direct enrollment spot, the students’ dissatisfaction was barely quelled.

Everyone began to obediently rewrite their insurance policies and consent forms.

But this time, to protect Su Ran, Eve did not leave his name.

Instead, she wrote down the two characters for “Su Ran”, ticked the “female” box in the gender column, and for their relationship, she wrote “sisters.”

Basically, none of the information about Su Ran was correct.

Anyway, he didn’t have a superhuman talent and wouldn’t be enrolling in the school.

This was a form of protection for Su Ran in disguise.
