Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever.

Half a month flew by in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps due to the establishment of the Ghost Spirit Class, the school had been free of any crises. However, online, reports of supernatural incidents continued to emerge, growing increasingly frequent and severe. The entire nation was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear.

“Still unresolved, huh…” Bai Yuan, though confined to the school grounds, kept a close eye on external developments. He wasn’t surprised. If these issues could be easily resolved, the authorities wouldn’t have issued nationwide alerts or poured resources into setting up the Ghost Spirit Class.

The creation of the Ghost Spirit Class signaled that the government was building a reserve force, preparing for a prolonged battle against the supernatural.

On this particular day, Bai Yuan and Zhou Han found themselves together in the cafeteria. Given the differing schedules between the Ghost Spirit Class and the regular classes, opportunities for them to meet were rare.

“Bai-Ge, I’m about to head out on a mission.”

“A mission?” Bai Yuan paused, his expression shifting. “You’re going to deal with a supernatural incident?”

“That’s right.” Zhou Han’s eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and a hint of worry, even fear. After all, this time he’d be confronting a ghost directly-and tasked with resolving the situation.

“Aren’t you guys still in training? Why the rush to start fieldwork?”

“The situation’s gotten critical…” Zhou Han lowered his voice. “The authorities are short on manpower. We have to step in early.”

“I see…” Bai Yuan wasn’t surprised. He simply nodded and added, “Be careful.”

“Our entire class is going, and Teacher Wang will be leading us. Nothing should go wrong.” Zhou Han offered a faint smile, then seemed to recall something. “Oh, Bai-Ge, insider info: the authorities are planning to establish an Intelligence Class. You might be able to join it and gain access to more information about supernatural events.”

Bound by confidentiality agreements, Zhou Han couldn’t divulge too much.

“An Intelligence Class? What are the entry requirements?” Bai Yuan’s interest was piqued. In this evolving world, having access to timely information could mean the difference between life and death.

“That, I don’t know.” Zhou Han shook his head. “I overheard Teacher Wang mention it.”

“Alright.” Bai Yuan understood Zhou Han’s limitations and refrained from pressing further.

Soon, the two parted ways.

A week later, the Ghost Spirit Class Two returned from their mission, sparking an uproar across the school.

Someone had died.

What was initially thought to be a routine assignment had resulted in the deaths of four students-students who possessed Accompanying Ghostly Entities.

Such news would typically be kept under wraps, but one of the students, terrified out of their wits, decided to quit the Ghost Spirit Class, inadvertently spreading the story throughout the school.

The revelation set off a storm of discussion, with many feeling a sense of relief.

What had once seemed like a guaranteed path to greatness for those with Accompanying Ghostly Entities now appeared fraught with danger. It was clear now-being a professional in this field was no easy feat.

Wang Li worked tirelessly to calm the students in the Ghost Spirit Class, but many chose to leave out of fear for their lives. Wang Li didn’t try to stop them; after all, when it came to matters of life and death, he couldn’t force anyone to stay.

Although the official Ghost Spirit Class provided access to critical information and resources for growth, it came with a heavy price-frequent missions that could easily cost one’s life.

When faced with the choice between survival and power, many naturally chose the former.

“Short-sighted fools…”

Wang Li stood in the office, silently watching the backs of those who had decided to leave, a trace of disdain flickering in his heart.

He had already explained the situation to everyone.

With the increasing frequency of supernatural incidents, the authorities were overwhelmed.

As time went on, these incidents would inevitably affect everyone. No one could escape.

When that time came, those who possessed Accompanying Ghostly Entities but lacked the strength to wield them effectively would be powerless-not only unable to protect their loved ones but also incapable of saving themselves.

In this new era, the only way to seize a sliver of hope was to charge forward with unwavering determination. Running away was nothing but a slow march toward death.

“Let’s reorganize the Ghost Spirit Class,” he said, turning to the assistant instructor beside him, his tone tinged with resignation.

With the departure of so many students, the six Ghost Spirit Classes would need to be restructured and consolidated.

The assistant nodded and then asked, “Instructor Wang, are we still proceeding with the Intelligence Class?”

If even those with Accompanying Ghostly Entities were too afraid to stay, it was unlikely that ordinary people would want to get involved in supernatural matters. The Intelligence Class, which the authorities had planned to establish, might struggle to attract participants.

“Of course, we’re going ahead with it. It starts tomorrow!”

Wang Li’s gaze turned resolute as he murmured, “Ghost Spirit Users may be scared, but ordinary people might not be!”

For a fleeting moment, his thoughts turned to Bai Yuan…

The next day, Wang Li made an official announcement across the school: the Intelligence Class was being established.

Joining the Intelligence Class was surprisingly straightforward-courage was the only requirement.

The sole responsibility of its members would be to accompany professionals in resolving supernatural incidents. The danger level was extremely high, but each mission came with a substantial monetary reward.

Additionally, there were other enticing benefits, making it an attractive opportunity.

For now, this was the only pathway for ordinary people to step into this emerging field.

“Intelligence Class…”

Bai Yuan sat at his desk, holding a flyer that detailed the class’s information.

“So, they’re opening it up to ordinary people because there aren’t enough Ghost Spirit Users?”

Even though ordinary people lacked Accompanying Ghostly Entities, they could still use tools like black dog blood to combat Evil Ghosts. If Bai Yuan knew this, the authorities certainly did as well.

“Alright, everyone, put those flyers away,” the homeroom teacher said from the front of the classroom, sensing it was time to intervene.

“Even though this is an official directive, I still want to say this: your primary focus should be on your studies. The Intelligence Class is not the best choice for you.”

“That place… it could cost you your life!”

Bai Yuan held the flyer tightly, his eyes filled with contemplation.

The Intelligence Class offered various benefits and bonuses, provided access to knowledge about the supernatural, and allowed participants to engage in real supernatural incidents. For Bai Yuan, this was a golden opportunity-perhaps even a chance to devour an Evil Ghost.

Every aspect of it was crucial to him.

In these unpredictable times, the only way to secure a foothold was to grow stronger.

And the Intelligence Class had only one requirement: courage. Wasn’t that tailor-made for him?

Bai Yuan had been quietly observing, refraining from disrupting the trajectory of his life.

But now, the tides of this new era were surging.

It was time for him to make a change.

With that thought, Bai Yuan suddenly stood up, flyer in hand, and walked to the front of the classroom.

“Bai Yuan, what are you doing?”

Teacher Zhao, though understanding his intentions, tried her best to stop him.

“The Intelligence Class is no joke-it could get you killed!”

“Thank you for all your guidance over the years,” Bai Yuan said, bowing deeply.

Then, with unwavering determination, he declared, “Teacher, I’m ready to take the next step!”
