Mo Xin and Mu Yao stared at each other in surprise.
Only now did Mo Xin realize that one of the team members was actually Mu Yao.
At the same time, Mu Yao had just discovered that the "newcomer" the captain mentioned earlier—
Was her own roommate.
What a coincidence.
Both of them had been carefully hiding their identities from each other all this time—
Only for everything to be exposed in a single moment.
"Oh my god! Sister Yao, you're an Ability User too?"
"Yes. Honestly, I never expected that the new team member the captain mentioned would be you, Little Xin!"
Fortunately, the two girls adapted extremely quickly.
Since they were already familiar with each other, the awkwardness only lasted for a brief moment before they seamlessly transitioned into exchanging information.
"So, Sister Yao, you're the Medic of our team?"
"Does that mean if I get sick or injured in the future, I won't have to spend money at the hospital? That's so convenient!"
"Haha, not exactly. My ability is more focused on treating injuries. Minor colds are fine, but most illnesses are still beyond me."
"That's already incredible! After all, Medics are essential in any team, right?"
"Is that so? Thank you…"
Hearing the praise from her junior, Mu Yao couldn't help but feel a little flustered—
And slightly proud.
However, the moment she heard about Mo Xin's ability—
Her expression changed instantly.
"What!? Little Xin, you said your ability is Space-type? Seriously!?"
Having read plenty of novels, Mu Yao naturally understood what the word "Space" represented.
There was even a well-known saying—
"If Time does not appear, then Space reigns supreme."
She had never expected her best friend to have hidden such a powerful ability.
Meanwhile, Mo Xin narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, watching Mu Yao's stunned expression.
The corners of her lips curved upward uncontrollably.
At this moment—
She felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
What a shame… I wonder what kind of expression Sister would make if she saw this? Hehe…
However, before she could enjoy the moment for more than a few seconds—
Lu Hao, who had been standing nearby, decisively shattered her fantasy.
"Don't listen to her exaggerating. Mo Xin can barely teleport herself a hundred meters right now."
"She can't even control it properly yet. As for being 'King'? She might just stay stuck at this level forever."
Mo Xin: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)
Mu Yao: (⊙▽⊙)
Mu Yao didn't try to discourage her friend.
Instead, a different question arose in her mind.
In this era, there was no equipment capable of detecting Supernatural Abilities.
So how exactly had Mo Xin determined that her ability belonged to the Space category?
Mo Xin didn't hide anything and quickly explained.
It all traced back to the first time she awakened her ability.
Back then, she had used her weak power to defeat a stronger opponent.
The most reasonable explanation—
Was that she had unknowingly imbued her kitchen knife with spatial properties.
Catching the Extraterritorial Creature completely off guard.
Hearing such a thrilling story, Mu Yao couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.
Compared to herself, a pure support-type Medic—
Mo Xin's experience was far more daring.
However—
"Well, that might be true, but wasn't it Yunli who figured everything out for you?"
"And in the end, wasn't it also Yunli who saved you?"
Lu Hao, who had already finished training and sat down nearby, delivered another precise blow.
Even Chen Yuxuan, who had been observing quietly, couldn't suppress a faint smile.
…
Just as Lu Hao picked up his water bottle to drink—
Mo Xin, overwhelmed by embarrassment and frustration, suddenly activated her ability again.
"I'm exhausted… Pfft—ugh!!"
"Urgh!?"
Lu Hao suddenly bent over in pain, clutching his stomach.
The water he had just swallowed sprayed out uncontrollably.
Mo Xin stood calmly to the side, silently retracting her small pink fist.
A gentle smile remained on her face—
But the dangerous aura hidden beneath it sent a chill down one's spine.
Mo Xin (ꐦ◕‿◕): Can't you just let me act cool for once!?
Mu Yao ⊙▽⊙: So this is teleportation? Amazing…
Chen Yuxuan -_-||: This silly kid…
Lu Hao (￣┰￣*): Someone please speak up for me…
…
However, the lively atmosphere didn't last long.
Mu Yao suddenly caught onto a key detail in Lu Hao's earlier words.
Yunli? Could it be the Yunli I'm thinking of…?
With that thought, she turned to Mo Xin with a questioning look.
"Hey, Little Mo… the teammate who joined with you… it couldn't be the Yunli I know, right?"
Hearing this, Mo Xin's expression instantly shifted.
The embarrassment from earlier disappeared completely, replaced by a bright, proud smile.
Since they were going to be teammates anyway—
There was no need to hide it anymore.
"That's right, it's Yunli!"
"And she's not just cute—she's su~per powerful!"
"It's just a pity that this place is too small for her to properly show her strength."
As she spoke, Mo Xin even sighed dramatically and shook her head, as if full of regret.
Seeing this, Mu Yao and the others felt their toes curl in secondhand embarrassment.
The way she spoke—
It sounded exactly like she was bragging about herself.
Mo Xin ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ: Hehe, if my best friend is the protagonist, then as the female lead, it's my duty to hype her up so she can amaze everyone later!
(Yunli (ᗜ_ᗜ): I really appreciate that…)
Chen Yuxuan, though speechless, quickly picked up on the deeper meaning behind her words.
"The place is too small."
That phrase immediately reminded him of the incident at the Residential Complex.
Out of courtesy, they hadn't pressed Yunli for details after she joined the team.
But now—
It seemed increasingly likely that Yunli was connected to that event.
He just didn't know whether it was also related to those strange Celestial Phenomena.
Looks like I'll need to have a proper talk with her later.
Chen Yuxuan silently made up his mind.
…
Meanwhile, Mo Xin was still enthusiastically describing Yunli's overwhelming strength to her two listeners.
Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to reveal everything.
Instead, she carefully guided them—
Letting their imaginations run wild.
As a result, although Mu Yao and Lu Hao were extremely curious—
They didn't think things were too outrageous.
At the same time, Mo Xin skillfully rode this wave of "borrowed prestige," making herself look impressive as well.
Hmph, let's see how you interrupt me this time!
"Eh? But… I remember… didn't the captain say the new member was… an Otherworlder? But…"
Mu Yao frowned slightly.
She recalled Mo Xin mentioning her family before—
But Yunli always seemed to avoid the topic, intentionally or otherwise.
Could it be…?
