Chapter 356 356: Missing Students
A week had swiftly passed since Voli gained the ability to speak, and Caleb's routine unfolded as usual. He attended classes, a mix of routine lectures and the occasional excitement during combat training.
Their combat teacher, a seasoned veteran with a knack for blending life lessons with combat skills, hammered home the significance of being aware of one's surroundings. Caleb, usually indifferent to such matters, found himself surprisingly captivated by the lecture.
So our wise combat guru says, 'If you're aware of what's happening around you, you can sniff out trouble before it even knocks on your door.' Kinda like smelling a bad idea before it turns into a dumpster fire. Smart, right?'
'Imagine walking into a surprise party, but instead of balloons and cake, it's trouble waiting to ruin your day. Being aware helps you dodge those surprise bombs. Trust me; I'd rather deal with a pop quiz than an unexpected brawl.'
'According to Mr. Combat Wisdom, being aware gives you a head start. It's like playing chess; you want to know your opponent's moves before they make 'em. That way, you're not the poor sucker getting pummeled.'
'Now, this one got me thinking. Our teacher says awareness lets you decide whether to blend into the background or make a statement. It's like being a chameleon in a room full of flamingos. You choose your vibe, man.'
'Awareness turns you into the smart hero, not the reckless zero. No one wants to be the guy who walks into a trap with eyes wide shut. Keep your eyes open, folks. It's the key to being a hero, not a zero.'
Caleb couldn't help but sigh as he recalled every word of his combat teacher.
As Caleb mused, he realized the past week had been proof of the importance of awareness. Whether dealing with the aftermath of Voli's newfound voice or navigating everyday challenges, staying vigilant had its perks.
Besides, the three had a great background—they were rich second-generation individuals. A hint of envy appeared in Shawn's eyes, and he couldn't help but recall his father's teachings: "In heaven and earth, there is no just or unjust. There is no fairness. Everyone's fate has been decided since birth."
"Their background, their genes, their talent, their appearance, everything is decided by birth. Maybe hard work can compensate for that, but you won't be able to catch up with those destined to become great. At least if you really are a hard worker and have strong willpower, you will reach far in life. At least you will become better than mediocre that does not strive for anything in their life."
"You're really reliable, Vice President," a student said with a jesting expression.
"Yup, Shawn is a reliable Vice President. If there was a next year, I would surely nominate and vote for him. He has been a great help to our class."
"We should help him if there's something he can't take care of. We can't let our Vice President bear the trouble of the class by himself, right?" Another student, with a good-natured tone and a hint of emotion, spoke.
Xin and Kevin looked at each other and laughed. "Yes, this big guy is really good. Even though our class is not that responsible, he's always looking out for us,"
One student looked at Xin and Kevin with an evaluating expression and stated with a matter-of-fact tone. "You're just saying that because he's your friend."
On the other hand, Caleb felt Shawn's gaze on Mei and couldn't help but frown. "What is this guy thinking about? Is he thinking that I'm flirting with Mei?"
Caleb sighed as he thought of this. Everyone in their class literally thought that he and Mei were dating. But that ain't the case!
He couldn't really blame them, as his interactions with Mei were rather intimate. What's worse is the guy beside him, the fatty bastard, always acted like he was a third wheel or something and he would constantly tease them.@@@@
