A thin girl waved at Little Mark from a distance and called out, “Mark! Why haven’t you found your group yet?”

Mark Benson gave an awkward smile and asked, “I haven’t found Teacher Henry Carter.”

The thin girl pointed and said, “Teacher Carter is looking for you too. I think he went toward the teaching building.”

Mark Benson clapped his hands together, leapt up, and shouted, “Teacher Henry Carter, student Mark Benson is here…”

Not only was Mark Benson’s voice loud, but he also jumped high. After all, Little Mark was skilled in lightness techniques. Not just the supervising teacher, but all the teachers and students in the school were now watching him.

The girl who had just reminded him couldn’t help but mutter, “How did I, Peter Harris, end up being good friends with a guy like this?”

She truly felt a bit embarrassed for Little Mark.

Not long after, a flustered man came running over from the direction of the teaching building.

There was no helping it—within such a short time, Little Mark had already jumped up seventy or eighty times, and his shouting could be heard all over campus.

From afar, Teacher Henry Carter shouted, “Mark Benson, stop yelling!”

Little Mark immediately obeyed, closed his mouth, and grinned, “Hello, Teacher Henry Carter!”

Little Mark was something of a campus celebrity, known for his mischievousness. Even though Henry Carter had never taught this student, he’d heard plenty about him. He never expected that just a moment of inattention would cause such a commotion.

And yet, there was nothing he could really say.

Little Mark hadn’t actually done anything wrong—he was just calling for his teacher, which wasn’t a mistake. Except… it was just so damn embarrassing. Both teacher and student were humiliated together.

Henry Carter rushed over, grabbed Mark Benson by the shoulders, panting for breath. It wasn’t that he was “too weak”—Henry Carter was at least a level six martial artist—but this unruly student had really gotten on his nerves.

“This little rascal, such a handful!”

“He doesn’t care, but I, Old Carter, am so embarrassed. Being called out by a student jumping up and shouting my name on the playground—this might become a running joke at Taigu High…”

If he didn’t remember his duty as a teacher, Henry Carter would have been tempted to strangle Mark Benson.

The rest of the process went smoothly.

This was the first time in Mark Benson’s life that he’d left home, left Boyang City.

Following the school’s arrangements, he joined up with students from other schools in Boyang City under the guidance of the teacher named Henry Carter, and together they boarded the maglev train straight to Dijingshi. Suddenly, his heart surged with excitement.

“‘The Supreme Martial World Reincarnation Aptitude Gift Pack,’ just wait for me.”

Chapter 13 Clown Smith

All the way, Mark Benson kept his eyes closed, resting and cultivating his internal energy, and didn’t cause any trouble.

When they arrived in Dijingshi, the students going to the Dimensional Realm for their graduation exam didn’t even leave the maglev station—they were immediately arranged to transfer to the skyferry.

The skyferry that shuttled between the original world and the Dimensional Realm consumed an astonishing amount of energy with each launch, so there was only one trip per day.

Because the tickets were so expensive, the state only covered round-trip tickets for the students taking the exam, not for the teachers.

Some elite high schools would cover this expense so teachers could accompany and look after the students, but Taigu High was a public school and didn’t have this budget.

Henry Carter was also unwilling to pay out of his own pocket, so he had to part ways with Mark Benson here and wait for him to return after the exam.

Little Mark cheerfully said goodbye to Teacher Henry Carter.

After seeing Mark Benson off, Henry Carter felt completely relieved and muttered, “I don’t know how Grace Smith managed this kid. No matter what, I’m never leading a class again.” He really couldn’t handle such a wild student.

There were a total of seven skyferry stations built in Zhuxia; the other six were controlled by the military, and only the one in Dijingshi was open to civilians, allowing citizens of Zhuxia to travel to various Dimensional Realms.

Most travelers to the Supreme Martial World were tourists, with only a small number being government personnel.

Traveling to the Dimensional Realms had always been the trendiest activity, especially among many young people with literary inclinations—some even considered a trip to the Supreme Martial World essential for cleansing the soul.

After boarding, Mark Benson was looking for his seat when someone suddenly called out to him.

“Benson!”

Little Mark turned around and saw a vibrant, beautiful girl, tall and dressed neatly in a school uniform. He smiled slightly and asked, “And you are?”

The tall girl, who had been smiling radiantly, was stunned by his words. She asked a bit plaintively, “You don’t remember me?”

Mark Benson thought to himself, “Not remember? I just don’t know you at all, okay?”

The skyferry’s capacity was limited. Even at the Dijingshi station, over seventy percent of its capacity was requisitioned by the military for transporting strategic supplies, leaving only thirty percent for civilian use.

This year, the Zhuxia students going to the Supreme Martial World for the graduation exam were divided into more than ten groups, entering the Dimensional Realm in batches.

Mark Benson knew this girl was one of the thirty-seven high school students in his group. Judging by her uniform, she seemed to be from a high school in Dijingshi, but he didn’t recognize the abbreviation and had no idea which school she was from.

From start to finish, he hadn’t had a chance to talk to any of the other students taking the exam, so how could he possibly recognize a girl from another school?
