This chapter opens with a flashback to the day of the year-end exams at the star academy. The headmaster of the academy, Chen Qin, is the illegitimate grandson of the founder's family. He has been studying at the academy since he was a child, and he is now the top student in the academy's annual exam. He asks the headmaster if it is possible that he has an "immensely powerful bloodline" mage helping him, and the headmaster replies that it is not completely impossible, but that if chen Qin drops by the academy again, he should not shun him. He tells the headmaster that he heard three people barging into his awakening room, and that they were his students. He says that he was not the one who allowed them in, but the person who worked at the counter must have been the one to allow them in.
