At the very moment when Grace Bennett was feeling lost about her own power, Emily Carter suddenly appeared. Her arrival pointed her in the right direction—it turned out they were not monsters, but rather a new kind of human that had evolved. No one knew why this had happened.

Although there were already many such organizations, all new humans shared a common rule: for now, they did not want ordinary humans to know of their existence. Moreover, ordinary humans could not see the envoys of the new humans. The two of them began searching for other companions. Half a year ago, they sensed an overwhelmingly powerful presence here and immediately found a way to transfer to this place. Detection was one of the Saintess’s special abilities, but so far, it had failed, and that presence had disappeared some time ago.

As for Henry Bennett, they originally thought he was the target, because Emily Carter sometimes sensed a terrifying energy from him. But an incident greatly shook their confidence: they deliberately let him encounter a situation where two beauties were surrounded by a gang of thugs. This guy was indeed as brave as they imagined... but he was knocked out by the thugs after just a few moves, and in the end, they had to finish the fight themselves. As a result, Henry Bennett mistook Emily Carter for some kind of Taekwondo master and fainted.

“Yezi, you don’t know—when he held me and shielded me from those punches, that warmth was truly unforgettable!” Emily Carter’s eyes sparkled as she fell back into that memory. Although they were new humans, they were at an age of extreme curiosity and wariness toward the opposite sex. Once that barrier was broken, they would open their hearts to that person, becoming the girls most eager to be moved, and also the easiest to be moved.

“Tch, all I remember is him getting beaten up like a pig’s head, not even landing a single punch or kick in return. If he keeps playing the hero like that, he’s doomed!” Grace Bennett spoke tough, but in her heart she still felt a bit nostalgic. She hadn’t expected that, faced with so many thugs, he would actually step forward. But why didn’t he hold her? At this thought, Grace Bennett couldn’t help but pout.

“So, even if it’s just to repay him, I’ve decided to help him one more time and let him witness the power of us envoys!”

“That... it’s not really good to let ordinary people see, is it?”

“Yezi, don’t you want him to become our companion? I think there must be quite a few people with such abilities, good and bad mixed together. We have to increase our companions to protect ourselves!” Emily Carter, having awakened earlier and conducted various investigations and observations, knew that many strange phenomena around the world were caused by new humans, some of whom were evildoers.

“Fine, I’ll listen to you, my lady. Seriously!”

After making their plan, the two girls continued with their painful studies. Sigh, even new humans have to take college entrance exams—ordinary life still had to go on.

Chapter Two: Awakening

Some say that beauties are like wine, intoxicating;

Talented women are like cigarettes, mesmerizing;

Ugly women are like tea, leaving an aftertaste!

Here, I’d like to say: all tea farmers and tea merchants, please switch careers as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, what is a talented woman? It’s outstanding talent plus looks just a bit above average. A beauty? Extraordinary looks plus intelligence just a bit above average. If both are of the highest standard, that’s the legendary femme fatale—even heroes like Xiang Yu and Lü Bu fell for them, showing just how powerful they are.

Emily Carter and Grace Bennett already meet the standard for beauties. As for whether they’re femme fatales, that remains to be seen.

After escaping back to my dorm, I buried my head in bed. Not long ago, I was still glad that, ever since my annoying roommate moved out, I could have such a big space all to myself. Now, though, I felt like I needed someone to talk to—something was definitely off just now!

Why was it so cold around Emily Carter and Grace Bennett? The school’s facilities aren’t great, so there’s definitely no air conditioning. That broken fan only blows hot air, but I really did feel a chill. And the way she looked at me was so strange. Yes, I’m sure of it again!

Could it be a ghost?

No, that can’t be—ghosts can’t be out in the sun, right? Such a beautiful female ghost... heh, not bad either!

Ugh, what am I thinking? I smacked my head a few times and started to analyze. To be honest, these two women are a bit odd. Both are transfer students, but they never stay in the dorms. Other than talking to me a bit, they hardly interact with anyone else in class—not even the other girls. I bet they can’t even name everyone. Come to think of it, they’re a bit mysterious, and the way they look at me is strange too!

Sweat... could they be trying to suck my yang energy?

Wuwu, if so, they should at least pick someone stronger. No wonder they handled all those thugs last time. Although afterward they said it was Emily Carter who held out until the police arrived... how did she manage that?

Honestly, what I want to do most right now is... go back and take another look. Damn it, what’s there to be afraid of? Even if those beautiful girls are ghosts, I’m not scared. Besides, I think, well, it probably won’t be that bad.
