The morning light seeped through the crack in the curtains, bringing a hint of warmth to Lin Mengmeng's room. She slowly sat up from her bed, took a deep breath, trying to dispel the tension and unease in her heart. Today, she would attend the first Esoteric control class at the academy, which made her feel both excited and scared.
She carefully tidied her clothes, every movement revealing her inner nervousness. Her eyes sometimes gazed at the scenery outside the window, and sometimes fell on her own hands, as if seeking a little comfort.
Lin Mengmeng walked out of the dormitory and stepped onto the path leading to the teaching building. Along the way, she walked through the campus without looking around, constantly reminding herself to be strong and brave in facing difficulties.
When Lin Mengmeng entered the classroom, she felt an invisible pressure that made her steps heavy. The classroom was already filled with students, and their gazes and conversations created a noisy atmosphere, making her feel somewhat at a loss. She quietly found a seat in the back row, trying to blend into the crowd and avoid attracting attention as much as possible.
At that moment, a cold and piercing gaze cut through the air of the classroom, landing directly on Lin Mengmeng. She looked up to see a tall male student sitting at the other end of the classroom, his eyes sharp and deep, as if capable of uncovering the secrets of the human heart. Handsome yet aloof, with neatly combed black hair, he exuded an unapproachable aura.
This was Jiang Hanting, a senior student with the ability of Nullification of abilities, a prominent figure in the second year known for his formidable strength. His face always bore a distant expression, as if disdainful of everything in the world. His fingers lightly tapped the desktop, each tap revealing his impatience and aloofness.
Lin Mengmeng's gaze briefly met Jiang Hanting's in the air, and she felt a moment of panic, quickly lowering her head, her heart racing. Her fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of the table tightly, her body trembling slightly, feeling an unprecedented pressure. The corner of her eye occasionally glanced at Jiang Hanting, but she dared not meet his gaze directly.
The atmosphere in the classroom became solemn because of Jiang Hanting's presence. The surrounding students seemed to keep a certain distance from him, even in their quiet conversations, they did not dare to be too unrestrained.
At that moment, a teacher walked into the classroom, breaking the silence. The teacher began to take attendance. When Lin Mengmeng's name was called, her voice trembled and was barely audible.
When Jiang Hanting's name was called, he simply responded indifferently, his calm and composed demeanor contrasting sharply with his cold exterior.
The class has started, and the professor walked up to the platform, beginning to introduce the basic knowledge of Esoteric control. Lin Mengmeng tried hard to focus her attention on the professor's explanation, attempting to calm herself down. But in her mind, she kept seeing Jiang Hanting's indifferent gaze and his reputation.
When the professor talked about the application of Esoteric, he mentioned the importance of healing ability and casually mentioned Lin Mengmeng. At that moment, all the students' eyes focused on her again, making her feel extremely embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed, and she felt full of unease and fear.
At that moment, Jiang Hanting's voice suddenly rang out in the classroom: "Healing ability? How much use can it really have in actual combat?" His voice was stern, tinged with a hint of well-placed skepticism and mockery, plunging the entire classroom into silence.
Lin Mengmeng felt a hint of injustice and anger, but she didn't have the courage to respond. Her hand tightly gripped the pen, her fingertips turning white. Her heart was filled with questions and confusion, wondering why this boy was so indifferent to her, even hostile.
Jiang Hanting's gaze fell on Lin Mengmeng once again, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for a certain outcome.
After class, Lin Mengmeng quickly packed up her things, preparing to leave the classroom. Her heart was filled with confusion and unease, unable to understand Jiang Hanting's attitude.
Just as she reached the classroom door, Jiang Hanting's voice sounded in her ear again: "Lin Mengmeng, let's talk." His voice was deep and calm, with a sense of insistence that could not be refused.
Lin Mengmeng stopped in her tracks, her heart racing, hesitating to turn around. Facing Jiang Hanting, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Jiang Hanting's face still carried that hint of coldness, his eyes staring straight at Lin Mengmeng as if trying to see through her.
"Your Esoteric is very special, but you don't seem to know how to use it very well," Jiang Hanting's words were straightforward, without any hint of tact.
Lin Mengmeng's cheeks turned slightly red, and her gaze flickered with uncertainty. "I... I'm still learning."
Jiang Hanting smiled and said, "Studying? What you need is not just studying, but also a bit of... confidence?" His words were sharp, pointing directly at Lin Mengmeng's weakness.
Lin Mengmeng felt a hint of powerlessness surging in her heart, but her voice remained weak: "I will work hard."
"Effort? Some things cannot be achieved through effort alone," Jiang Hanting said with a hint of provocation, as if testing Lin Mengmeng.
At that moment, Lin Mengmeng felt an unprecedented pressure. She took a deep breath and managed to steady her emotions. "Thank you for your advice, I will remember it," she said, her voice soft but determined.
Jiang Hanting looked at Lin Mengmeng, and there was a slight change in the light in his eyes. He didn't speak again, turned and left the classroom. His figure was tall and aloof, walking with an undeniable momentum.
Lin Mengmeng stood in place, taking deep breaths. Her heart was filled with complex emotions: fear, challenge, unease, and even a hint of curiosity. The name Jiang Hanting left a deep impression in her heart.
When she returned to the dorm, her roommates asked about her situation with concern. Lin Mengmeng smiled faintly and did not mention her conversation with Jiang Hanting. She sat on the edge of the bed, repeatedly pondering Jiang Hanting's words. Her mood gradually calmed down, but the deep unease in her heart remained.
That night, Lin Mengmeng lay on the bed, gazing at the ceiling in contemplation. Jiang Hanting's words were like a sharp sword, stirring her innermost feelings. She began to reflect on her Esoteric, and her position in this strange world.
Lin Mengmeng's thoughts gradually settled in the late night. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, repeatedly recalling her conversation with Jiang Hanting today. She realized that if she wanted to establish herself in the Academy of Esoterics, she had to learn to face challenges like Jiang Hanting.
The next day, Lin Mengmeng decided to quietly inquire about Jiang Hanting's achievements at the academy, hoping to better understand this senior who both impressed and intimidated her. In the library, she overheard a few students discussing Jiang Hanting.
"Jiang Hanting that guy, Esoteric nullification, is basically cheating!" a student half-jokingly said.
"He's not just strong in Esoteric, his combat skills are also top-notch," another student added.
"But his personality is too cold, and he's so sharp-tongued to everyone," the third student muttered quietly.
Listening to these words, Lin Mengmeng's impression of Jiang Hanting became even more complicated. Such a person was both a challenge and a motivation for her. She began to realize that she needed to be stronger and not easily influenced by others' words.
In the next few days, Lin Mengmeng did not meet Jiang Hanting again. She focused on her studies and Esoteric training, trying to improve her abilities. During the healing ability training, she gradually felt her progress, which boosted her confidence.
However, Jiang Hanting's image kept appearing in her mind from time to time. His cold eyes and sharp words made her feel an indescribable pressure. Lin Mengmeng began to observe the people and things around her more seriously, hoping to find a way to deal with Jiang Hanting.
By chance, Lin Mengmeng saw Jiang Hanting in the courtyard of the college. He was sitting alone on a bench, holding a book with a focused expression. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a gentle glow on his usually stern face.
Hiding behind a tree, Lin Mengmeng observed from a distance. She noticed Jiang Hanting furrowing his brows in thought from time to time, and occasionally flashing a playful smile. This scene surprised Lin Mengmeng, as she realized that this aloof senior also had such a side to him.
As time passed, Lin Mengmeng gradually deepened her understanding of Jiang Hanting. He was not just a sharp-tongued and indifferent person; he had his own story and emotions. This made her feel a hint of sympathy and curiosity towards him.
Lin Mengmeng's mindset was also quietly changing. She was no longer as afraid and evasive as she was at first, but began to learn to face and understand.
