As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you. Fair Connie despised interacting with Kairuoka, but when the teacher rearranged the seating, she found herself sitting right next to Kairuoka, making things extremely awkward for her.
Kairuoka, on the other hand, sat beside her with a calm demeanor, showing no signs of emotion.
Most of the time, they didn't speak, but Kairuoka's composed attitude made Fair Connie feel increasingly uncomfortable. It was as if she were a sulking child who couldn't get an adult's attention, feeling a negative sense of: "How dare they ignore me!"
Fair Connie was notorious at school for being a troublemaker; even the teachers were afraid of her. If it weren't for her father being the principal, she would have been reprimanded countless times. Naturally clever and mischievous, she quickly teamed up with her friends in class to occasionally try to humiliate Kairuoka. However, Kairuoka proved to be no easy target; despite appearing expressionless, he effortlessly deflected every attempt.
One day, Fair Connie devised a little scheme—she placed a Mars Belly Snake in Kairuoka's desk. Although the Mars Belly Snake is non-venomous, it tends to attack humans and won't release its grip until its head is severed and removed by an expert. Most people on Mars fear the Mars Belly Snake; if it weren't available at an exotic pet store, Fair Connie would never have been able to acquire such a troublesome creature.
Once the trap was set, Kairuoka walked into the classroom as usual. Most of the classmates knew about Fair Connie's trap but none stepped in to stop it; instead, they watched with glee, imagining the moment he opened his desk and the snake would spring out to bite him.
However, things unfolded unexpectedly—Kairuoka stopped in front of his desk as if he sensed something inside. He didn't touch it with his hands but instead stared intently at it and opened the desk with his mind. The snake did not leap out; instead, it seemed to respond to an unseen command and began to rise upright. Kairuoka then extended his hand above the snake's head, and the Mars Belly Snake fixated on his hand. Following his gestures, it began to sway rhythmically. The movement was quite comical and amusing.
The snake's performance left everyone present stunned. They couldn't comprehend what kind of "magic" Kairuoka was using that allowed the snake to follow his commands.
Fair Connie quietly approached from behind Kairuoka, eager to uncover his secret.
But before she could fully grasp what was happening, the snake suddenly snapped back into action and lunged at Fair Connie, biting her collar and refusing to let go. She screamed loudly in fright and jumped around trying to shake off the terrifying burden. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the snake clinging to her. Her frantic struggle drew laughter from all her classmates. Ultimately, it was only with Kairuoka's help that the snake finally released its grip and slithered back into the desk.
After this incident, Fair Connie finally recognized the gap in strength between herself and Kairuoka and no longer dared to play tricks on him easily.
Not long after, through her father, Fair Connie learned that Kairuoka had reached the sixth stage of his internal power. His Sixth Sense and Seventh Sense had awakened, allowing him to sense threats and pranks he might encounter in advance, and he could effectively hypnotize beings five levels below him.
In comparison, Fair Connie had not even reached the second stage of her internal power, which made her feel quite ashamed. Fei Er Connie began to work hard, getting up early every morning to practice until the stars shone brightly at night before dragging her exhausted body back to the dormitory.
Kairuoka observed all of this. When Fair Connie finally managed to climb the Hundred-Foot Cliff through her own efforts, Kairuoka appeared like a shadow and congratulated her. Although Fei Er Connie did not seem particularly grateful, she accepted his suggestion to spar and improve her martial arts skills.
Thus, the two naturally began to train together every morning. As days passed, Fei Er Connie gradually felt that Kairuoka was not as unpleasant as she had initially thought. Although Kairuoka was the son of the Kairo Chief, he did not carry himself like a spoiled rich kid; instead, he was down-to-earth and hardworking. This made Fei Er Connie gradually understand why he could achieve abilities that others could not reach at such a young age.
Just as Fair Connie was beginning to accept Kairuoka, it was time for him to advance to the intermediate class for further studies.
After that, Kairuoka's efforts were continuously recognized. By the age of 35, his Cognitive Ability had reached 100, and by 37, he had advanced to the senior graduation class. He became the youngest genius in history on Mars to skip grades multiple times and attend a senior graduation class. Young people all over the planet envied him, and at this point, Kairuoka had become a celebrity on Mars, pursued by many young girls.
Fair Connie had never experienced love before; when she first fell for someone, it was overwhelming.
When she realized that she was constantly paying attention to Kairuoka's every move, she finally understood that she seemed to have fallen in love with this alien.
Thus, the young lady often invited Kairuoka to her home for dinner under the pretense of discussing study insights; in reality, she wanted to spend more time with him and catch a few more glimpses of him.
Although Kairuoka usually remained calm and gentle, he was not foolish. He quickly noticed Fei Er Connie's change and how she often stared at him with a dazed expression. Naturally, Kairuoka would not refuse Fei Er Connie's invitations or gazes; in fact, this was what he desired. Otherwise, why would he be so indifferent to her teasing and actively approach her step by step? As they say, when hearts desire something, mutual affection is rare on any planet. The two young people experiencing their first crush soon found themselves caught in admiration and ambiguity before their feelings were revealed.
