Chapter 7: Unknown System
Meanwhile.
In a certain office.
A bespectacled young man receives a notice from upper management.
“Someone has invaded Flying Wing Academy? Who’s got the guts? Is it some mischievous student pulling a prank?”
He’s one of the higher-ups at Flying Wing Academy, surname Si, given the name Ling, also known as Commander—quite the name that tends to cause misunderstandings.
As one of the veteran staff members of this academy, he’s seen his fair share of quirky antics.
Including, but not limited to, audacious students attempting to challenge the authority of the academy’s higher-ups, only to find themselves promptly pressed to the ground for a good ‘faceplant,’ much to the entertainment of a gaggle of audience members.
And then there are those bizarre activities organized by students that encourage all sorts of questionable school spirit—only for the student council members to turn them into cautionary tales, hanging the rascals out to dry like laundry in the sun.
In short, every now and then, a particularly eccentric student pops up.
Commander Si is almost getting used to it.
“What’s going on this time? Did a student really cause a ruckus?”
With a furrowed brow, he begins to investigate the surveillance footage.
The academy is covered by nearly 360-degree surveillance—anyone who passes through is bound to leave a trace, preventing students from misusing their abilities and stirring up trouble.
It’s a rather reliable piece of tech insurance.
Soon, he traces the usual routes that outsiders would take to intrude upon the academy, meticulously reviewing the footage with great interest.
Ever since that certain loli left the academy, things have been trending toward normal.
With the Mist Hidden Disaster put to rest, it’s a classic case of old guard making way for the new.
The once-legendary figures who spurred endless gossip within the academy have mostly moved on.
And the old-timer Commander can only stick around to make use of his leftover influence.
Out there, everything’s calm, and inside the academy, it’s just as serene.
Occasionally, when a few students stir up mischief, it provides some much-needed amusement for the bored Commander.
But now, an invasion? If this is a student prank, things could get entertaining.
If this incident doesn’t involve a student and there’s an actual intruder? Well, now we’re serious.
Before long.
Using the surveillance, the Commander discovers a few clues: just a small figure, the image is fuzzy, making it impossible to discern her true identity.
“Is this all there is?”
Commander Si raises an eyebrow.
Let’s be real—the academy’s surveillance system is top-notch.
An outsider attempting an incursion would definitely leave more than just a silly silhouette behind.
“Ah, so this is an ability user.”
The intruder’s movements are extremely careful; it’s obvious they’re a seasoned pro, likely having sneaked into plenty of classified areas before.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, how interesting, but sadly just this?”
It’s not that the Commander underestimates the intruder’s skills.
Flying Wing Academy is dedicated to training ability users of all sorts; you name an ability, they’ve got it.
Abilities thrive on sheer un-scientific chaos, with the more potent users rewriting the rules of reality.
In that case, pinpointing a trespasser should be a walk in the park.
The Commander should easily extract tons of information from even a mere silhouette on the screen.
Such as the intruder’s ability details.
“Now let’s see what your ability really is!”
Slowly, he removes his glasses, fascinated, his eyes glinting ominously as he focuses on the screen.
His ability, from one of the six main types—Body Type【Spirit Vision】—allows him to peer into a target’s fate through photos or recordings, revealing their ability information.
As long as the intruder’s ability level doesn’t exceed a certain threshold, he should be able to see it.
Time ticks by, clocking in at a dozen seconds.
Using his ability, the effort climbs from easy to strenuous, and the weight of concern drapes over him.
“Unknown system, 【He Tu Luo Shu】, level unknown, external system?”
The Commander’s brain momentarily short circuits.
He’s never encountered this scenario before.
Even probing the highest-level abilities has never resulted in something this baffling.
What on earth is happening?
This indicates the intruder’s power may surpass what【Spirit Vision】can comprehend, much like how a book logging countless herbs offers no record of unique, obscure remedies.
Unfamiliar characters not found in any dictionary.
And then there’s the keyword “external system”…
Quickly, the Commander pieces things together and promptly reports to other high-ranking members, urging them to keep an eagle eye on this situation.
As everyone knows.
The Mist Hidden Beast that once caused chaos within Huaxia borders was also an outsider, resulting in catastrophic casualties.
The information the Commander gleaned from【Spirit Vision】also involves the term “external,” which is definitely not as simple as a geographical difference; it likely signifies a divide that transcends worlds!
Just where did this intruder come from?
……
Shift to another perspective.
Mo Rabbit is scampering through the void, using spatial overlap to dodge countless gazes, as of yet unnoticed.
Just then, she senses something—that hint from the stars.
“Oh ho? Did they catch on? Impressive.”
Just moments ago, Mo Rabbit had intentionally left behind a trace to see how the officials would react.
Now it seems.
Some of her information may have been leaked.
To what extent, she’s unsure.
Her idea was to confirm information while simultaneously testing the officials’ reactions.
After all, she’d eventually have to interact with them; it’s better to address it sooner rather than later and prepare their mindset.
Night Star Lan’s tendency to roll with whatever happens really seems too passive for Mo Rabbit’s liking.
She doesn’t trust that approach at all, so she decides to pave her own way to avoid any potential pitfalls down the line.
Next up, a solid assessment of this world’s power structure.
Ideally, she’d sneak into the academy’s archives.
That could yield a wealth of information, far more detailed than mere divination.
Even if this academy is crawling with ability users flaunting unbelievable supernatural powers, Mo Rabbit’s star abilities still touch on fate prediction and spatial manipulation.
Divination can provide her with a rough picture, ensuring she doesn’t blunder into traps while groggy and clueless.
A detailed map can guide her toward the right path—falling into a trap won’t be an issue, as no matter the size of the academy, nothing can block her invasion.
And let’s not even mention her star map void.
This is her major ability for staging performances, crafting independent spaces through spatial overlap, allowing her to walk whatever distance, all while remaining undetected like a ghost.
Though Mo Rabbit’s stardust and the loli Night Star Lan might not compare at face value, to most folks in this academy, that’s a major imbalance.
If we’re disregarding combat, it’s like a one-sided game.
No one can touch her.
Unless it’s a top-tier ability user, she’s likely to face little to no obstacles.
Before arriving, Mo Rabbit had already divined that this academy lacked any break-class powerhouses.
No shocker there—like her own side of the timeline, the Night Watcher Base doesn’t have an Extraordinary Star Holder in sight.
Kong Yu Bai has been scaled down, lacking purity as a Night Watcher.
The only break-class star holder is that double agent loli, who also lacks purity.
Talk about being down on their luck, this official organization sure is!
