Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

As the Ferris Wheel stopped at its peak, the two of them both looked out to the window.

"The view up here looks nice, doesn't it?" Katherine murmured as the orange sky illuminated the capital in the distance.

"Yeah..."

The two sat in silence as the Ferris Wheel began to descend until it returned to its starting point.

"Let's go back home now."

Alex nodded again, taking the initiative to grab her hands as the sunlight shone from behind.

"Alex, Alex, wake up. It's the Wednesday morning already."

"Hm?"

As Alex slowly opened his eyes, Sophia was shaking his arm as she stood by the bedside.

"Come on, we still have school today." Sophia hurried as she started shaking his arm even harder.

"Okay, okay. I'm getting up."

Just as Alex got up from the bed, he could feel a slight cramp around his leg.

"Annoying period..." Alex murmured as he could feel himself feeling a lot angrier than usual.

After getting out of bed and changing into his school clothes, he quickly packed his gym clothes before heading to the bathroom.

With his tooth brushed and face washed, he was fully ready as he headed into the living room with his backpack.

"Good morning Alex... You had a nice sleep yesterday?" Katherine curiously asked after noticing the black circles were gone.

"Yeah..."

"Mom, where's my milk?" Mary complained as the bread felt a little dried on their own.

"I forgot to buy it yesterday. You'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Mary disappointedly turned towards the cup of water as Luqing and Meiya finally came out for breakfast.

"Good morning..." Stay connected through m-v l|e'-NovelBin.net

"Good morning... Are you two okay? You both looked a little sleepy today."

Katherine curiously asked, noticing the dark circle on both of their faces that looked a little similar to Alex's just two days ago.

"We're fine... I just stay up a little late to help Luqing advance her Qi a little more."

"Oh right, I almost forgot about that... Actually, what level is Luqing at right now?"

Meiya looked over to Luqing for a second and then answered it after seeing her nodding her head a little.

"She's at the peak of Core Formation Level... Or peak level 4 mage in the magic term."

The answer surprised the kids a little, as they had seen Luqing stand her ground against much higher-level mages during the competition.

Especially near the end, where they could remember her almost defeating several mages who were at least level 5.

"Miss Meiya, what level are you at?" Mary curiously asked, with Sophia looking just as curious.

Even Luqing and Katherine looked a little interested, with Alex being the only one whose mind seemed to be occupied with something else.

"Mary! Sorry about that, Meiya. Just ignore her question." Katherine apologized as she stared at Mary in anger.

Mary could only shyly scratch her hair as she realized how rude it sounded to ask her senior so directly.

"It's fine. I'm only at Soul Severing Level, or Level 7 mage." Meiya answered as she grabbed a piece of the bread.

"That's like grandpa's and grandma's level! Or even stronger!"

Mary excitedly said out loud, remembering Fredrick saying he lost to the 'mysterious' guest.

"Are cultivators this strong?" Sophia curiously asked as she could still remember Meiya almost soloing the Archmage.

The fact that a level 7 mage equivalent was beating Archmage, which was level 8, just seemed almost impossible.

"Ahem, enough questions. Time to finish up your breakfast and go to school."

Katherine ended the conversation as the kids started shoving down all the food before getting ready to leave.

"Have a good day!"

As the three kids and Luqing walked off again, Katherine closed the door before turning her attention over to Meiya.

"Are you really level 7 equivalent?" Katherine asked as if she didn't believe Meiya's answer earlier.

"I still haven't gone through the tribulation for Void Refinement yet. So I'm stuck at level 7 until then."

Meiya answered as she paused for a second before asking a question of her own back at Katherine.

"How about you? What level are you at?"

"What do you think?" Katherine rolled her eyes as she looked back at Meiya.

"Hmm... You have to be a level 7 mage, right?"

Seeing Katherine shaking her head, Meiya's eyes widened as she guessed another number.

"Level 8?"

With another shake, Meiya was now completely confused.

"There's no way you're level 9... Your guy's Grand Archmages are way beyond what I had ever faced.

But... You can't be a level 6 mage. There's no way I tied with someone who's a mage and a level below me."

"Like it or not. It seemed you're just overconfident just because you almost beat one of the worst archmages."

Seeing Katherine seemingly look down on the cultivator, Meiya's face immediately turned fully serious.

"You know what? I'm going to be fully serious today." Meiya warned as she stretched her arms.

"Bring it on."

With black smoke appearing over the two of them, they once again vanished as the smoke dissipated.

Back in school...

When the four of them arrived in the classroom, they were extra early today as there were still twenty minutes before class started.

Only a few people were in the classroom, either reading some sort of book or sleeping in the classroom.

"Good morning, Miss Luqing." One of the students said out loud as she walked in after the three kids.

"Good morning."

As Luqing sat down in the teacher's seat, she took out her notebook and examined the schedule for today.

Meanwhile, all three of the kids had gone to their seats, with Sophia and Mary sitting together in the back.

Alex was the only one in the front as no one in front had shown up for the class.

"Peace and quiet..." Alex thought to himself as he took out his textbook and began reading it.

After reading for a bit, more students arrived in the classroom, and seats began to fill up.

"Hey, Chloe!" Mary and Sophia both waved as Chloe walked into the classroom.

"Hey!"

Chloe quickly dropped her backpack next to Alex before heading to the back of the class.

"You look so nice today. Who tied your hair today?" Sophia curiously asked.

"My mom came to visit my dorm today..."

As everyone in the class was there, the noises from all the chattering made Alex close his textbook.

With nothing much to do, he laid his head down and started daydreaming about what happened last night.

"Alex... Wake up. Miss Amy is here." Chloe's voice made Alex immediately sit back up from the desk.

However, his eyes were only half open as he was still thinking about Katherine in the dream.

"Ahem, good morning everyone. I'm sure you're all ready for tomorrow's mid-term exam, right?"

All of the students let out a groan before Miss Amy tapped the board with a piece of chalk.

"Quiet. I'm going to go over the materials that will be on the test today. I better see all of you put your full attention in class today."

As everyone in class began taking out their notebooks, Alex remained zoned out, staring at the blackboard with his desk empty.

"Alex... You okay?"

Hearing the sound and his arm being gently shaken a little, Alex snapped back to reality again.

"Yeah, I'm fine... Thank you for waking me up."

Alex finally didn't zone out again as he took out his notebook and began to go along with the review material.

Two hours and a lunch break later...

As Miss Amy finished teaching the two-hour afternoon class, she quickly left the classroom with her bags.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your review with Miss Amy today.

Anyway, we'll be just running around the track and doing a few exercises before you all can go back home early."

After hearing Luqing's announcement, the students looked much more energetic.

They were all starting to get used to her class, especially ever since Miss Amy announced the midterm.

"Alex, you sure you're okay? You looked a little off today." Chloe asked as they got in line.

"Yeah, I'm fine... I just didn't sleep well yesterday."

Alex quickly lied at the last second, as there was no way for him to say that it was his period acting up.

"Okay..."

As the entire class arrived at the track, Luqing took out a clipboard with a pen.

Everyone could see some sort of list, with names in one column and long lines of boxes in the other column.

"I'll be tracking time from now on. The worst-performing student will be required to run two extra laps."

"That's not fair! How are we supposed to beat a boy as a girl?" One of the girls in the class raised their concern.

"I'm counting them separately... Okay, everyone. Get ready... Set... Go!"

Everyone started a slow jog around the track as the entire class learned how to run around the track efficiently.

Still, there was a clear divide, with the front being mostly boys while the back was mostly girls.
