Chapter 2

Very quickly, a few years passed in the blink of an eye. The boy, now twelve years old, was about to leave the place where he had learned his craft for many years to head to the Academy City far away in Tokyo. On this morning, at the airport, Bai Jingyue was saying goodbye to the people of Shushan.

More than ten people were all dressed in Taoist robes, which were so eye-catching in modern society.

"Master, all the seniors, I don't know when we will meet again. Take care of yourselves." Bai Jingyue clasped his fists and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait," the sect leader raised his hand to stop Bai Jingyue. "After so many years together, we have been master and disciple. I have something that suits you. Take it." He then took something from a young Taoist boy behind him.

Bai Jingyue bowed, "Thank you, Master." He reached out to take the item. It was a precious sword about 1.2 meters long. He gently drew the blade and, upon closer inspection, saw the words "Xiaolian" engraved on it. [Could this be?]

"You're right. This sword is the Xiaolian Sword, which I obtained by chance many years ago. Although it is a sharp weapon, it is just an ordinary sword. We, who practice Dao, have no use for it, so I am giving it to you. Use it well and do not tarnish the name of Shushan."

"Yes!" He sheathed the sword and held it in his hand, already thinking about making a sword bag when he got back, as it was inconvenient to carry it directly on the street.

As Bai Jingyue agreed, the attributes of the Xiaolian Sword appeared in his status.

"Treasure: Xiaolian Sword B-: During the day, it casts a shadow but not a light; at night, it casts a light but not a shape. When it touches something, it passes through silently, merging as it goes, feeling swift without drawing blood."

After waiting for a while, Bai Jingyue finally said goodbye to his fellow disciples and boarded the plane to Academy City.

Sitting on the plane, Bai Jingyue looked at his attributes, which had changed significantly over the past seven years.

Frost Armor

Range: 1

Armor made of ice, which has become a Noble Phantasm through years of accumulation."

This was Bai Jingyue's current abilities.

As Bai Jingyue grew, his data gradually changed, and he finally learned his class. [Why Berserker! ] Bai Jingyue never thought he would fit the Berserker class. If it were Saber or Caster, it would make more sense.

Moreover, during the seven years, he experimentally created his own Noble Phantasm, the Frost Armor. Initially, it was just a suit of armor formed from high-density ice around his body, providing some protection. However, over time, the armor became less like ice and more like a bright silver armor, becoming increasingly sturdy until it became his Noble Phantasm one day.

But what about Chengying and Hanguang? He didn't understand.

On the plane, Bai Jingyue looked at the people who had left and thought about the upcoming life in Academy City, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips: "It's been a long time, my dear sister."

At this moment, Bai Kuroko was already in elementary school in Academy City, with the rare ability of spatial movement, though currently at a low level, only able to move small objects. She had been called to the airport by a family member, which made her very unhappy, as she wanted to go to the underground street to buy the new high-tech phone that Academy City had just released.

However, she had to come, as she was the only member of the Bai family in Academy City and had to pick up her cousin. Speaking of which, coming to study now? Isn't it a bit late? After all, the earlier one develops their superpower, the better. Once a person's worldview is set, it becomes much harder to find their personal reality.

As Bai Kuroko was thinking, the plane began to land. The roar of the engines echoed through the sky, but it did not affect Bai Kuroko, as this was Academy City, known for being thirty years ahead of the world in technology, with excellent soundproofing.

Stepping onto the land of Academy City, Bai Jingyue felt a myriad of emotions. Finally, he had arrived at this place, the gathering place of superpowered individuals and the headquarters of the scientific side.

After getting off the plane, Bai Jingyue looked around. According to the message, his cousin Bai Kuroko would come to pick him up. [Where are you, cute little girl? Ah! I see you!]

Not far away, Bai Kuroko was still thinking about whether her cousin had come too late to develop superpowers. Suddenly, she was called by her name. "Kuroko, are you here to pick me up?"

Looking up, her white hair was very noticeable, making her easily mistaken for a delinquent, but this person didn't, instead giving off a cool and handsome vibe. His charming smile was very warm, but he was holding something that made people feel cold, a weapon, a sword.

"Are you?"

"I am Bai Jingyue, your cousin," his voice was also very pleasant. "Kuroko, my dear sister, please take care of me from now on."
