the entire class erupts in
uncontrollable laughter for there are
only 51 students in the third-year class
thus only one student has been excluded
suene with an Essence value of 45
ranking 51st in a class mang Guan feels
a Pang of guilt towards suene and cannot
help but say suene you are first in
cultural studies in the class I believe
you can improve even further when others
go for guidance I will provide you with
some additional tutoring however he soon
realizes that this is a misguided notion
for Su Jin's cultural studies rank
already places him first in the entire
grade even the district how much further
can he be improved the city has top rank
surely he doesn't tee think I'm mocking
him a bitter taste fills Ming's heart
thank you teacher Ming but I prefer to
study on my own that I've already signed
up for one-on-one tutoring online so I
won't waste your time s Eugene replies
politely a hint of concern tugging at M
guan's heart finally the long awaited
Bell Rings signaling the end of the
school day as Eugene finds himself alone
as his former friends now keep their
distance to I in their eyes ever since
he awakened that mysterious mechanical
Affinity an invisible Chasm has formed
between them nevertheless suene remains
indifferent relishing the Tranquility
that Solitude affords him he makes his
way to the subway station opting for
line three with a destination of the bus
yida Plaza within the train Carriage his
eyes glimmer with determination it is
time to procure some materials for his
new mechanical creations he calculates
inwardly yet more importantly he needs
to test the talent of dimensional Spirit
resonance from the otherworldly Armory
to ascertain how much it can enhance his
mental energy currently his Essence
value stands at a meager 45
necessitating a significant boost that a

later suene emerges from the station
taking the elevator directly to yah Mall
this mall is a veritable Paradise for
professionals where one can find
everything from rare materials to
Everyday Necessities his gaze flits
between various shops eventually
settling on one named the mechanical
Enthusiast Club compared to the bustling
establishments around it this shop
appears somewhat forlorn yet this is
precisely what he seeks drawing a deep
breath suene pushes open the door and
steps inside upon entry a striking young
attendant approaches him her hair is a
lustrous silver white styled into
adorable twin ponytails a s he examines
her he notices her skin exudes a

with a sweet voice reminiscent of a
two-dimensional electronic chime that I

textbook smile just as suene is about to
make a request a commotion erupts from
within the shop with the college
entrance exam approaching why are you
here this is nothing but a distraction
suene turns to see a finely dressed
woman fiercely tugging at a boy's ear
storming out from the depths of the
store the boy hangs his head flushed

letting out a derisive scoff though the
sound is faint it pierces the quiet
atmosphere of the shop as Eugene remains
unperturbed dismissing it entirely once
the duo exits and Tranquility returns
suene addresses yuning directly I would
like to rent a workshop and purchase
some materials I heard there's an
ongoing promotion here spending a

sweet voice replying indeed Mr suene our
