God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

[🎉 Shoutout to Eval, Lu, Jarrod and Time Walker for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

Early the next morning.

Qin Siyang leisurely made his way to school.

In the past, he was usually one of the earliest to arrive in the classroom.

After all, once he got home from school, ate dinner, and took a shower, he'd pretty much just head straight to bed.

But today, when he entered the classroom, Li Jingwen was already there.

As soon as she saw Qin Siyang's figure, she visibly panicked. She stood up as if she wanted to ask him something, but, seemingly unsure how to phrase it, she sat back down.

Qin Siyang walked past her like nothing had happened, not engaging with her at all.

But his cold indifference struck Li Jingwen's fragile heart like a hammer.

Her uncle, Kun Chenglong, hadn't come home last night, which worried the family a little.

Since Qin Siyang and Wen Shu were just two ordinary students with no real threat to them, they figured Kun Chenglong had simply gone to handle the aftermath of things, which was why he hadn't returned.

But today, Li Jingwen saw Qin Siyang at school.

That meant one thing—her uncle had failed.

Or rather, he had never even attempted to kill Qin Siyang.

Looking at Qin Siyang's still-calm expression, completely devoid of any resentment toward her, Li Jingwen leaned toward the latter assumption.

She had no idea what her uncle had been up to yesterday, but one thing was certain—he hadn't followed through on their agreement to kill Qin Siyang and Wen Shu.

Li Jingwen clenched her fists,'Kun Chenglong, you idiot! Always bragging about how capable you are, how reliable you are, and now you just disappear without a trace? What the hell were you doing?'

Qin Siyang sat at his desk and sneaked a glance at Li Jingwen, noticing that she seemed to be fuming. He quickly looked away.

Until he was ready to reveal his Sequence ability, he wouldn't mention that he had encountered Kun Chenglong.

Let her family stew in confusion for a while.

Right now, they were probably anxious, frustrated, desperate to know the result.

But once they finally did learn the truth, they would long for these days of mere frustration and anxiety—days without fear.

Qin Siyang's lips pressed downward. He felt he was still too merciful toward Li Jingwen.

Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to expose his Sequence identity yet, so he couldn't tell her everything.

At noon and in the afternoon, he continued working in the library, sorting books.

Wen Shu was already there early, tackling the difficult problems in her workbook.

As Qin Siyang walked past her, carrying books, he remarked,"Keep your eyes farther from the page. If you keep your head down like that and ruin your eyesight, you won't have the money to get glasses."

"Oh, thanks."

Wen Shu lifted her head slightly, adjusting to a healthier reading distance.

Since the advice came from Qin Siyang and involved money, she took it seriously.

Qin Siyang, meanwhile, focused on organizing books. The atmosphere remained quiet.

Teacher Zhu watched their interaction with a motherly smile.

"Looks like little Qin is quite sensible after all. It'd be such a shame if these two weren't together."

Feeling proud, Teacher Zhu sat at her desk, sipping her hot water, convinced she had accomplished something worth boasting about.

After school, Wen Shu once again stayed until the library closed. The two left together and parted ways at the usual intersection.

"See you."

"See you."

———

A new day arrived.

Before heading to school, Qin Siyang glanced at the calendar.

[Blue Star Calendar, January 20, 2010]

[Western Calendar: Wednesday]

[Lunar Calendar: Year of the Earth Ox, Twelfth Month, Sixth Day – Auspicious for Meeting Relatives and Friends]

"Meeting relatives and friends?"

"What relatives or friends do I even have?"

Qin Siyang shook his head, grabbed his bag containing his lunchbox, and headed out.

Upon entering the classroom, he planned to zone out for a while before heading to the library.

But at that moment, a male student walked up to him.

"You're Qin Siyang?"

Qin Siyang turned around and saw a refined-looking young man. Though his clothes weren't luxurious, they were impeccably neat, hinting at a well-off background far beyond Qin Siyang's own.

But Qin Siyang had no impression of this person.

He might not recognize him, but the female students in the class certainly did. Their gazes were filled with interest. Even Li Jingwen, who had been in a foul mood over her uncle's disappearance, cast him a bright-eyed look.

No doubt, another school celebrity.

But no matter how famous, Qin Siyang didn't know him.

He hadn't even known what the school's top beauty, Wen Shu, looked like before, let alone the so-called "popular guys."

"And you are?"

"I'm Zhao Liwen from Class 2."

"Zhao Liwen?"

Qin Siyang frowned. The name sounded somewhat familiar, but only vaguely.

"Sorry, I don't think I know you."

A girl nearby whispered,"How can he not know Zhao Liwen, the second-ranked student in our grade? What does Qin Siyang even do all day?"

"Pretty normal. He just spaces out in class, wasting time. How would he know any of the good students?"

"Zhao Liwen, his brain's a bit slow. What do you need from him? We can pass along the message for you."

Qin Siyang glanced at the girls mocking him. They were practically fawning over Zhao Liwen, each trying to outshine the others.

It was amusing.

He turned to them and said, "I space out every day and still score higher than you all. If my brain is slow, then what does that make you?"

"Qin Siyang! How can you talk like that?"

"I like telling the truth."

So this was the eternal runner-up behind Wen Shu. No wonder his name rang a bell.
