Chapter 1: You Can't Blame Her

Chapter 1: You Can't Blame Her

Zhehai Province, Hanggang City.

Wencheng Middle School, Class 37.

"This time's mock exam has shown remarkable progress in everyone. Especially Qin Shou, who ranked second in the entire grade, only 2 points away from a perfect score. Everyone should learn from him."

"Most students have done well, but a few have surprisingly shown no desire for improvement and scored zero, dragging down the class average."

"I won't name names, but I hope the student in question takes this seriously. There are only 21 days left until the high school entrance exam. Such grades won't even get you into an ordinary vocational school, let alone the Beast Control High School."

The homeroom teacher, Yu Guang, scanned the location at the far right, third row from the back, near the window. There sat two identical girls with ponytails, sitting upright, the splitting image of good students.

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. What's with the act? He was definitely talking about them! While Qiao Yi's results weren't as bad as her twin sister Qiao Sang, it wasn't much better.

Qiao Wan who sitting beside Qiao Sang could tell the teacher was talking about her twin sister Qiao Sang.

To tell the true, she found it weird to have identical twin sister, she was used being a only child but she got used it very fast for some reason.

She couldn'help but shrug a little as she looked down at her own score paper.

That not important right now, Her mock scored wasnt much better than zero, 100, placing second before last.She already got a headache thinking about it.

She wasn't the Qiao Wan of this world, She had just transmigrated a couple of days ago and barely adjusted before this mock exam.

However, it was just a middle school mock exam. She wasn't afraid at all. After all, she was a high-achieving student whose just got into a prestigious university in her previous life.

But this belief was crushed as soon as she read test paper, she was baffled.

[What does the awakening of the human brain domain create?]

[What kind of extraordinary creatures does Heart Scale find attractive, and what purpose do they serve?]

[What is the final evolutionary form of the Stinky Loach called?]

[Which planets have humans already migrated to?]

What... what were these questions?!

She was very lucky in the end, bits of original host memories started surface,So she wasn't as clueless as previous she tried her best but the original host scored dropped by a lot.

Over these two days, Qiao Yi had adjusted to her new body, and all the memories of the original host had surfaced. She had gained a basic understanding of this world. It was a world primarily centered around Beast Control. From the time humans discovered their ability to control beasts until now, 32.05 million years had passed, resulting in a mature society revolving around the practice.

Although it was called the Era of Beast Control, not everyone practiced it. When humans reached the age of 15, their brain domains could be awakened to the Beast Control Code through the stimulation of magnetic waves.

This Beast Control Code served as a contract and a space that perfectly connected the relationship between humans and extraordinary creatures.

If a person's brain domain couldn't awaken by the age of 15, there was a high probability that their life would be unrelated to Beast Control.

Despite the millions of years of development in the Era of Beast Control, not all humans could awaken the Beast Control Code.

For instance, in the previous year's nationwide entrance exam, only 73% of candidates awakened the Code, leaving 27% without awakening. Even if some among them were academic geniuses, they were still destined to not get into Beast Control High School.

Those who couldn't Control beasts were relegated to mediocrity, spending their lives in the lower echelons of society.

This was a harsh reality. If you couldn't control beasts, you might even struggle to do manual labor.

Why use human strength to carry hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of bricks when extraordinary creatures could do it effortlessly?

Even waiting tables was the same.

Even if their wages were several times higher than humans, restaurants preferred to hire extraordinary creatures to carry trays because it attracted more customers.

In this world, which differed greatly from the previous society's common sense, Qiao Yi, as an approaching high school entrance examinee, felt the pressure.

In the past, knowledge changed destinies; now, Beast Control altered lives.

Although Qiao Yi had the memories of the original host, that host had been a poor student!

Consistently ranking near the bottom of the class, the original host's scores usually hovered around the fifth to last place.

The high school entrance exam was in 21 days. She didn't even expect to get into a prestigious high school. Being able to enter any high school was a relief.

The only good thing is that she not the only one struggling, her sister Qiao Sang seem to be enlighted and started studying seriously for high school entrance exam with her.

Maybe that one reason she found it easy to bond with her.

Qiao Yi listened attentively in class, took notes, and even continued reading her textbook after class, displaying the same intense dedication she had shown during her final sprint toward the college entrance exam in her previous life.

"Qiao Sang, the teacher is talking about you." Qiao Sang other desk partner, Fang Sisi, leaned in and whispered loud enough for both of them to hear.

This wasn't a question; it was a confirmation. Although the teacher hadn't specifically named anyone, Qiao Sang had brazenly taken notes on her score paper, not bothering to conceal her score.

Qiao Sang nodded.

In Qiao Yi memories, Fang Sisi had a good relationship with the sisters.They all would go out together and hang out.

The primary reason for their friendship was that Fang Sisi was also an academically poor student.

"Wow, I see you answered all the multiple-choice questions, yet you got zero. That's almost as impressive as someone getting a perfect score." Fang Sisi gave an admiring thumbs-up.

Qiao Yi choked and tried to stop her laugh but by the deadly glare she received from Qiao Sang, saying it didn't work.

After Qiao Yi finally stopped laughing, she put her attention back into her study's, thank god that she always had good memories so it was easy to read through the text and memorize the key points.

As she was reading, ignoring the conversation between Qiao Sang and Fang Sisi, when the person sitting in front of Fang Sisi turned around nervously and said, "Is it true that Dai Shushu from Class 9 got a guaranteed spot at Litan Beast Control High School? Or is it just a rumor?"

Fang Sisi sighed, "If it's spread around like that, it's probably true."

Qiao Yi continues look through her textbook.

The Dai Shushu they were talking about had ranked first in this mock exam. As someone recommended to Beast Control High School, she didn't consider it much of a gossip topic. Right now, her priority is to study and master the subject matter.

"I heard she got the recommendation because she awakened on her own." Another classmate in front of her turned around and joined the discussion.

Qiao Yi ignored her textbook and turned her head to listen.

The first batch of awakened beast masters more than 30 million years ago all awakened independently. At that time, the proportion of beast masters only accounted for 0.01% of the population, which was absolutely one in a million.

Until the year 2563, a researcher named Chen Le Shen discovered that the human brain could awaken the Beast Control Code through the stimulation of magnetic waves, marking the true beginning of the Era of Beast Control.

However, those who could successfully awaken the Code on their own were still among the exceptional few.

"Awakening Independently?" Fang Sisi fell into thought. "Do you think I can still curry favor with her by now?"

The classmate sitting in front of Fang Sisi shook their head. "Don't even think about it. Anyone who's successfully recommended won't stick around in school. If you knew in advance that you could attend high school, would you still come to school?"

Fang Sisi nodded in agreement.

"If I awaken on my own, can I get guaranteed admission even if I fail the academic subjects?" Out of nowhere Qiao Sang asked a question, her expression was earnest.

This question captured the attention of the three people, While Qiao Yi went in deep thought.

"Never mind failing, the school would take you even if you got a zero." The classmate in front of Qiao Yi joked.

"Forget it, those who awaken on their own are always the top students. There's no room for poor students." Fang Sisi patted Qiao Sang shoulder. "I had a dream like this a couple of days ago."

Qiao Yi didn't hear the rest as she lowing head in happiness because She had succeeded in self-awakening as soon as she transmigrated!

Back then, she had no idea what it was and mistook it for some kind of gold finger. It wasn't until her memories integrated that she learned about the Beast Control Code awakening at the age of 15.

Since most people awakened at 15, she hadn't thought much of it. But she hadn't anticipated such a huge difference!

No wonder the original Qiao Yi was a poor student. Even with integrated memories, she hadn't realized the vast disparity between self-awakening and acquired awakening through magnetic waves.

...

Qiao Yi studied like previously thinking, she is going to have to study it at one point in the future, so why not get it done now,

Plus Qiao Yi enjoy learning about new extraordinary creatures, so she didn't find it painful or boring to remember any details.

The school was dismissed soon after.

As Qiao Wan and Qiao Sang were packing their things, a girl with black-framed glasses approached. "Qiao Yi, Qiao Sang the headteacher wants to see you both in the office."

Qiao Yi nodded and Qiao Sang replyed hesitatedly. "I understand."

The girl with glasses was Ma Xiao, the class monitor. She was used to teachers summoning the twins to the office, given their status as the perennial of fifth and third from last.

Original Qiao Yi might have been used

to it, but the current Qiao Yi wasn't Especially not when the headteacher's spit was flying in her face.

"What's wrong with you both! The high school entrance exam is approaching, and you've both performed this badly! How do you justify this to yourself? To your parents!"

Qiao Yi and Qiao Sang took step back in silence. As Qiao Sang said "Tea...cher, please calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down! I've taught so many batches of students, and I've never seen someone as poor as you both!" The headteacher escalated, continuing his spittle attack.

This time Qiao Yi speak up thinking her results Wasn't as Qiao Sang."There's a reason for our poor performance."

The headteacher sneered. "What reason?"

Qiao Yi said "Well, We both actually awakened on our own, but our mind hasn't caught up yet."

On the way to teacher office she and Qiao Sang spoke of their reason of failing the mock and both saying they awaken independently, which shock them as it, well know fact that one in a million chance of independence awaken let alone two same time.

"Hmph." The headteacher snorted. "It seems I've been too lenient with you both in the past."

Qiao Yi and Qiao Sang identical faces shown confusion. What does being nice to them have to do with this?

The headteacher opened a drawer and pulled out a contact list, dialing a number from inside.

Before long, the call was answered.

"Is this Qiao Yi and Qiao Sang parent? I'm their headteacher. Do you have time to come to the school?"

Qiao Yi: ....

Qiao Sang: ...
