The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

He is back.

My personal terminal vibrated slightly, and a message popped up automatically:

"Chen Guan, the class placement test has been completed. Overall evaluation grade: Special. Class assigned: Tian Shu Class (Special Admission). Please report to the Tian Shu Class's exclusive classroom, Tian Shu Building 101, at 2 PM today. Tutor: Situ Ming."

The Tian Shu Class, specially recruited, mentor... Situ Ming? The vice dean personally mentors him?

Chen Guan quickly extracted the key words, his pupils contracting slightly.

This result far exceeded his expectations. Was it due to the special resonance of the coffin? Or was it his final answer?

He subconsciously looked in the direction of An Changqing in the front row. An Changqing seemed to have just woken up and was looking down at the terminal, his profile calm.

I don't know where he was assigned, but it should be the Tian Shu class too, though, he was specially recruited...

"Host, this is fantastic!" The system's voice rang out excitedly: "The entire class placement test was high-energy, and your popularity has skyrocketed. It has already surpassed 1500 points and is still increasing."

Chen Guan was certain that popularity was the real gain.

He glanced at the terminal information on his wrist again.

It seems that even for this coffin bearer, keeping a low profile is difficult.

Life at Huaqing College truly began from this moment on.

In the corner of the screen, the comments section was completely buzzing:

[Tian Shu Class! Special Recruitment! Vice Dean Mentor! Top-Tier Prestige!]

That last answer was brilliant, "This is me," so cool!

[The coffin guy is awesome! (voice cracks)]

So who's in the coffin? Who's inside? Coffin Bro, who can't you let go of?

[Next episode, next episode, I want to see the daily life of the Tian Shu Class.]

[Fast forward to Chen Guan and the person inside the coffin getting married.]

Ignoring the nonsensical comments in the live chat, the huge light screen in front of the auditorium soon lit up and began to scroll through the preliminary class assignments.

Tian Shu Class, Tian Xuan Class, Tian Ji Class... one after another, resounding class names are followed by a dense array of names.

Exclamations, sighs, and excited shouts rose and fell.

Chen Guan saw An Changqing's name, unsurprisingly ranking first in the Tian Shu class. Long Ao's name was also among them, ranking second, followed by Su Yuehe's name.

Chen Guan's own name... did not appear on the list of Tian Shu Class on the public screen.

His full name was written in the special recruitment remarks column next to him.

As expected, the treatment for specially recruited individuals is different.

After the announcement, Vice Dean Situ Ming reappeared on the stage, gave a brief summary, encouraged the freshmen to study hard and make the most of their youth, and then announced the disbandment.

The crowd began to surge and head out of the auditorium.

Chen Guan stood up and moved slowly with the flow of people.

He could feel some gazes on him, filled with curiosity, inquiry, and even a hint of resentment.

Bringing a coffin into the school and then having a special admission process during the test, it's hard not to attract attention. But with the school rules in place, no one dares to do anything.

"Chen Guan, classmate." A gentle voice sounded from the side.

Chen Guan turned his head and saw An Changqing.

He had finished talking with several students from the Tian Shu class and came over specifically, accompanied by Su Yuehe and Long Ao.

"An, Su." Chen Guan nodded in greeting.

"Congratulations." An Changqing smiled, his eyes clear. "Tian Shu Class, specially recruited, very impressive."

"Thank you, it was just good luck." Chen Guan replied politely, his gaze calmly meeting An Changqing's eyes, and also sweeping over Su Yuehe and Long Ao beside him.

Su Yuehe curiously examined Chen Guan and the coffin behind him, her big eyes blinking as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

Long Ao remained aloof, arms crossed, his gaze lingering on Chen Guan for a moment before shifting away indifferently, as if merely confirming the existence of this special recruit.

It was just a special recruitment; it didn't change his weak strength.

"Chen Guan, what was your test scenario like?" Su Yuehe finally couldn't help but ask with a mix of fear and curiosity: "Mine was on an ice field, where I had to find ice crystals guarded by snow monsters. I was freezing to death. Changqing said he encountered a trap array in an ancient ruin, while Long Ao was fighting phantoms directly on the arena."

"Me?" Chen Guan asked calmly. "It was a wasteland. I encountered some wild animals, but I managed to deal with them."

He didn't intend to go into details; his coffin seemed to have some special features, and he hadn't had a chance to ask Tongzi about it yet, so he could only go back to his dormitory to discuss it later.

"Oh..." Su Yuehe was a little disappointed, but she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she said with great interest, "But the special admission is really impressive. I heard that there are very few special admission spots. Why are you admitted through the special admission?"

"Yuehe." An Changqing gently stopped Su Yuehe from asking any more probing questions and said to Chen Guan, "The class assignments have been finalized. You'll all be in the Tian Shu class from now on, so you'll have many opportunities to meet. Chen Guan is new here, so if you have any questions about the Tian Shu Building or the course schedule, feel free to ask us anytime."

"Thank you." Chen Guan nodded. He could feel the goodwill that An Changqing was showing, although this goodwill might have stemmed more from his own self-cultivation and basic care for his classmates.

Long Ao then spoke coldly, his voice muffled: "The Tian Shu Class relies on strength. Special admissions... I hope it's not just for show."

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he turned and left, his tall figure quickly disappearing into the dispersing crowd.

The atmosphere became slightly tense. Su Yuehe stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Long Ao is just like that, Chen Guan, please don't mind him."

Long Ao's family was not simple either, so Su Yuehe knew Long Ao before and knew that he was just as arrogant as his name suggested.

It's not just Long Ao; most of the students who get into the Tian Shu class come from humble backgrounds.

"It's alright." Chen Guan really didn't mind. Long Ao's attitude was very direct: strength is paramount, which is perfectly normal in the world of high-level martial arts.

He himself is more suited to this straightforward style, and in his previous life, he grew up in such an environment.

"Shall we go grab something to eat first? You must be starving after all this commotion this morning, right?"

An Changqing naturally suggested, easing the slight awkwardness: "We can also chat about the afternoon's meeting."

"Okay." Chen Guan did not refuse; he did need to know about the academy cafeteria and the afternoon's arrangements.

The three of them walked out of the auditorium together with the flow of people.

The midday sun shone brightly on the magnificent college buildings and lush trees, where students in colorful uniforms moved about with vibrant energy.

On the way to the cafeteria, An Changqing gave a brief introduction to the main facilities in Tianshu District and the precautions for the afternoon assembly.

Su Yuehe occasionally chimed in, chattering about the various rumors she had heard from her seniors.

Chen Guan mostly listened quietly, occasionally responding with a word or two.

He could sense that although An Changqing and Su Yuehe acted very friendly, there was still an invisible barrier between them.

He was a special admission student who suddenly joined the group, a strange man carrying a coffin. He was ultimately not on the same path as these two protagonists who came from extraordinary backgrounds, had exceptional talents, and had a pre-existing bond with each other.
