Shin Yu's
Little Clumsiness

During watching the children his age training, Shin Yu thought of the reason why Master Gu lied about his cultivation talent. Clearly what he was doing was extremely suspicious, moreover at this moment he looked calm as if his Golden Dantian was nothing out of the ordinary.

Shin Yu continued to think about the possibilities, because her knowledge was still limited so it was difficult for her to think about the possibilities in large numbers.

"Shin Yu, do you want to rest?" Nam Quan asked after finishing chatting with Teacher Gu for some time.

Shin Yu did not immediately reply but instead thought for a while, he then nodded his head and said, "I want to rest for tomorrow."

"Oh, okay. Let's go.." reply Nam Quan and intend to drop the boy off.

"No need to bother driving me, senior. Just leave me alone, I already know where my room is." Shin Yu immediately gave a refusal.

"Hm, okay. We will meet again later in the afternoon for the announcement of your arrival." Nam Quan said.

"I understand." Shin Yu gave a small nod, "Then, I permit a farewell."

Nam Quan nodded while Master Gu did not respond and his gaze still continued to point forward. It seemed that the old man named Gu Shanzeng was pondering deeply, as if he was considering an important matter related to his Golden Dantian

Shin Yu returned to the building where she lived, there was quite quiet but that did not mean that there were no people at all. While in the hallway, his steps came to a halt as he faintly heard the sound of sobs of women crying.

Shin Yu walked towards the source of the voice and found a woman her age was sitting curled up in one of the dorm rooms, he sobbed and was unconscious with the presence of Shin Yu not far from there.

"Why are you crying?" Shin Yu asked, although this was not his business but he felt curious.

The girl immediately gasped when she heard Shin Yu's voice, she slowly raised her head with a face that looked jazzy and a red nose like a tomato.

"Don't mind me, go away." the girl immediately turned her eyes in the other direction.

Shin Yu paused for a moment before sitting next to the girl, "Why don't you join the training with the other kids?" asked Shin Yu curiously.

The girl did not answer and chose to be quiet, she tried to hold back her sobs even though it was quite difficult to do.

Shin Yu waited for one stick of incense to burn for a long time but the girl still did not want to talk, she finally got up and left him in silence.

The girl knew Shin Yu's departure, she turned to the exit but no longer found her.

After exiting the room, Shin Yu himself went straight to his spacious dorm room. Of course the room does not have his own but belongs to other children as well, he then scratched his head that is not itchy because he does not know which mattress he will later occupy.

Shin Yu was silent for a while before finally deciding to sit meditating on the floor near the wall.

"Hey, Shin Yu."

Shin Yu immediately opened her eyes when someone patted her left shoulder, she found Nam Quan and some children staring at her from behind.

"Are you asleep?" ask Nam Quan to be curious.

"No, I'm trying to find my little meridians." Shin Yu replied while trying to get up on her feet, she could feel her legs feeling stiff.

Nam Quan then turned to face the dozens of children who were staring at him and also Shin Yu, "Include, his name is Shin Yu. From today he will be training for an entire year here, I hope you can be friends with him." Nam Quan said in a loud voice.

The atmosphere became a little rumbling as all the boys who were there started talking about Shin Yu.

"Senior, why did he get in here? Didn't the registration close two months ago?" ask one of the children while raising his right hand.

"Yes, there's a reason why he could be here" Nam Quan said later, citing the reason, because he had already given Shin Yu permission before so he did not hesitate to tell what happened to the little boy.

As long as Nam Quan told the reason why Shin Yu could be here, the atmosphere became quite silent even though there were still whispers. They all looked surprised to learn that Shin Yu's parents were dead, and her uncle was also killed while they were on their way to this city.

Various gazes pointed at Shin Yu but the boy only had a flat expression without showing the slightest sadness as if nothing had happened to him.

After ending the story, Nam Quan immediately turned the topic towards dinner. But before that, he asked them to clean themselves first as most of them were very dirty and gave off an unpleasant smell to inhale.

***

After dinner, Nam Quan led the children back to their dorm room, telling Shin Yu an empty bed that no one occupied.

After seeing that Shin Yu was already in her bed, Nam Quan immediately told them to go to sleep and left the room and closed the door.

The dormitory room went dark because Nam Quan turned off the candlelight that was the only lighting there.

"Oi, Shin Yu... Have you slept?"

The voice in the pitch-black darkness was heard all over the side of the room, and the owner was the big-bodied boy Nam Quan and Shin Yu had met before.

"Not yet." Shin Yu replied briefly.

"Are you 12 years old now?"

"No, I'm 10 years old."

"Eh..."

Almost all of the children who were there let out that sound that made Shin Yu feel strange, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's how it is, because the minimum time to take special training is 3 years. And when we turn 13, we'll officially become a soldier even though we've only been in special training for a month."

"But after becoming an official soldier, you're still taking special training, aren't you?" asked Shin Yu curiously.

"Yes, that's right. But it would be extremely disadvantageous since trouble could come at any time, and those who were laymen with the Cultivator World could just die silly from still being in a special training period."

Shin Yu fell silent after hearing all that, he felt that the system to become a city warrior was quite strange. However, what he was worried about right now was not that but the awkwardness about him who only took special training for one year.

"Did I come in here because I didn't sign up at the time or for some other reason?" Shin Yu momentarily thought of that and then dug up the other information until everyone who was there slept.
