John Harris, the number one school hunk at Jianzhong, is handsome, and even if he dozes off during exams, his grades are still among the very best in the school. No one knows how strong his martial arts are; only he himself claims that he is undefeated in a hundred battles on the Sky Martial Arts Battle Network. But none of this is what draws the most attention to him. What truly amazes people is his research on bio-beasts. So young and not even in college yet, he has already been pre-admitted as a special recruit by the Federation University of Science and Technology’s Department of Biochemistry, and is hailed as a once-in-a-century super genius in bio-beast research. His catchphrase is: 【Magnificent...】

　　As for all the praise from the outside world, John Harris doesn’t care much. He often complains in front of Brian Carter that everyone else in the world is blind, and only Brian Carter and Yin Zhaluota are the ones with eyes, able to see his greatest strength.

　　Of course, in Brian Carter’s view, this “strength” is really a bit ridiculous. It’s hard to imagine that what John Harris is most proud of isn’t the talent and ability that even the top bio-beast experts in the Federation marvel at, but rather his prowess in chasing girls.

　　“Any woman, I only need to take one look! I can immediately know her measurements! And as long as she looks at me once, she’ll fall completely in love with the magnificent me!” This is what John Harris says most often in front of Brian Carter and Yin Zhaluota.

　　“Which thing?” A look of incredulous surprise appeared on John Harris’s sunny face: “Don’t tell me you really don’t know? No way? Now I’m starting to doubt if you’re even a student at Jianzhong. No, wait! I’m starting to doubt if you’re even a man... Bro, did you mess up your manhood while practicing martial arts? I told you! You should have practiced the new martial arts with me. Look... just look at the mess you’ve gotten into.”

　　John Harris wore a pained expression, his hands constantly patting Brian Carter’s shoulders, as if he were mourning at the grave of a departed soulmate.

　　“Brian Carter is not you.” The brief words were unusually crisp and cold, but to John Harris and Brian Carter, they carried a feeling that no one else could sense.

　　Yin Zhaluota, an exchange student at the school, is a super genius from Europe! The only one in the school whose grades can rival John Harris’s, and in terms of looks and style, he’s just as cool as John Harris. His martial arts skills aren’t as secretive as John Harris’s; instead, he’s known throughout the school as a top-tier two-star expert. Some say that if Yin Zhaluota weren’t deliberately honing himself among the lower stars, he would have already broken through to the higher three-star or even four-star level! At the island region’s high school sports meet, he earned the nickname “All-Around Superman.”

　　Of course, just like John Harris, what makes Yin Zhaluota stand out isn’t his looks or fighting ability, but his talent in pharmaceuticals.

　　If John Harris might become the Earth Alliance’s top bio-beast expert in the future, then the world’s number one pharmaceutical expert is likely to be Yin Zhaluota.

　　John Harris and Yin Zhaluota are known as the Twin Stars of Jianzhong. Even among all the high schools in East Asia, the two of them stand at the very top of the pyramid.

　　People passing by all looked curiously at this strange trio. Although these three gathered together every morning and even throughout the day, after nearly three years, people still couldn’t get used to such an odd combination.

　　Two top-tier high school students in East Asia, even more capable than many PhDs, the rising stars of two future fields, actually befriending a country bumpkin.

　　Country bumpkin! That’s right! Brian Carter had heard people describe him like that behind his back more than once. It wasn’t that he was eavesdropping on purpose, but whenever he went to the restroom, he would always overhear such gossip.

　　Almost everyone was baffled. Brian Carter studied hard, but his grades were only average, his family was poor, and he didn’t even have the courage to fight others. How did he end up hanging out with two superstars of the future?

　　Brian Carter had once asked the two of them about it, a bit puzzled himself. John Harris’s answer was: “Making friends is like finding a woman—it’s all about the feeling. No matter how pretty a woman is, if I don’t feel it, I’m not interested. But don’t worry, you two, I only get that feeling for women, not for you guys. I don’t have any special preferences like that.”

　　Hearing this, Brian Carter could only smile helplessly. Making friends really is just as John Harris said—it’s all about the feeling. Even though these two in front of him were future superstars, he never saw them as big shots, just as simple friends. This surprised many classmates: what made Brian Carter feel he was no less than these two?

　　Yin Zhaluota’s answer to Brian Carter’s question was much simpler than John Harris’s. He only said four words: “You’re easy on the eyes.”

　　“Old Carter really isn’t me.” John Harris grinned as he slung his arm over Yin Zhaluota’s shoulder and said, “Looks like you know about this. Hey, old Yin, I didn’t expect you to be gossipy too. What’s up? Has this stone man finally developed feelings?”
