God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Waking up in the early morning, the outside of the warehouse was still shrouded in darkness, with no sun in sight.

However, Qin Siyang's heart was filled with sunshine.

"Today is the best day since my rebirth."

"Even better than the day I awakened my sequence."

Qin Siyang didn't even bring his bag. Holding only his lunchbox in one hand, he left the warehouse directly.

The road to school was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Walking beneath the glow of one streetlamp after another, he was illuminated again and again.

Finally, he arrived at the school gate.

Today, the principal was once again standing at the school entrance.

But not for inspections.

Seeing the hastily hand-written banner that had been made overnight, Qin Siyang immediately understood—the principal was standing at the school gate early today purely to welcome him.

The principal at the entrance today had an exceptionally humble posture, actively greeting every student.

At first, Qin Siyang was a bit puzzled—why had the principal suddenly changed his ways?

But as he got closer, he immediately understood.

The principal was holding a photo, seemingly comparing it to each student entering the school, trying to identify which one was Qin Siyang.

He didn't even know what Qin Siyang looked like. So, to avoid offending this newly awakened sequence user, he completely changed his usual behavior, greeting every single student in hopes of leaving a good impression.

He had already forgotten that the last time he stood at the school gate for inspections, a student who failed to greet him was scolded by the teacher standing beside him.

Unfortunately, the principal's performance was destined to be an act for blind eyes—because Qin Siyang wasn't buying it.

Even without his sequence ability, he was no ordinary senior-year student.

Qin Siyang stepped forward and looked at the red banner hanging at the school gate:

[WARMLY CELEBRATING OUR SENIOR-YEAR STUDENT QIN SIYANG FOR BECOMING A SEQUENCE ABILITY USER!]

The large characters were crooked and barely legible.

Qin Siyang recognized the red banner fabric—it was reused from a few months ago, from the school's pre-exam oath-taking ceremony. He could tell because there was still a black night bird's droppings stain on it, left behind when a bird had pooped during the principal's speech.

'The school really is poor. Oh well, I guess they never expected to need a red banner for anything else.'

Below the banner, a crowd of students had gathered, all curious to see who this history-making Qin Siyang was.

Qin Siyang walked up to the principal and silently locked eyes with him.

The principal carefully examined the photo provided by the management bureau, then looked up at Qin Siyang. Immediately, he recognized that the student in front of him was indeed their school's pride—Qin Siyang.

"Student Qin, you're here! Congratulations on successfully awakening a sequence ability!"

The surrounding students erupted in exclamations.

"So he's Qin Siyang? His family doesn't seem very well-off…"

"Keep your voice down! He's a sequence ability user."

"If he can awaken, does that mean I have a chance too?"

The principal extended both hands, wanting to shake hands with Qin Siyang.

Qin Siyang, however, kept one hand holding his lunchbox and the other tucked in his pocket, not giving him the chance.

The principal's expression froze for a moment. He sensed that something was off, but not knowing the reason, he could only awkwardly smile.

"Student Qin, how about coming with me to the principal's office for a chat?"

A nearby teacher chimed in, nodding and bowing, "Yes, Student Qin, we've prepared some gifts to celebrate your sequence awakening…"

Qin Siyang tilted his head and saw that it was none other than the grade director who had given him trouble that day.

This grade director had always been nitpicky. In this school, where the admission rate was less than one percent, he strictly monitored tardiness, truancy, and relationships to prove his worth—a guy who wielded a feather as if it were an imperial decree.

Not only Qin Siyang, but all the students in the school disliked him.

Qin Siyang asked coldly, "Do you still remember me?"

The director froze for a moment, thought for a long time, but couldn't recall when he had crossed paths with Qin Siyang. After a while, he finally asked, "You... are my student?"

Qin Siyang shook his head, "Sigh, you don't even recognize me. Well, it's understandable. Just a small incident. How could someone in a higher position remember?"

"But I still feel unsatisfied."

With that, Qin Siyang swung his lunchbox and smacked it onto the grade director's face. The teacher flew two or three meters away and landed heavily on the ground.

He lay on the ground, trying several times to get up, but seemed dizzy and failed each time.

After experiencing killing, Qin Siyang had learned to control his strength. The hit to the face had no real force behind it—it was just to intimidate the onlookers.

Seeing Qin Siyang suddenly make a move, both the principal and the surrounding students were shocked. They hadn't expected an ordinary senior high school student to be so ruthless.

Some students whispered, "Isn't he a Sequence Ability User who protects humanity? Why is he so violent?"

'Violent?', Qin Siyang smiled slightly, 'If I were truly violent, that grade director's head would already be on top of the school building.'

Qin Siyang glanced at his now deformed lunchbox and threw it into the principal's arms.

"Buy me a new one," After saying that, he walked into the school under everyone's stunned gazes.

When he entered the classroom, many people were standing outside, watching him.

Qin Siyang sat in the corner seat, looked at the starry sky outside for a while, sighed at the beauty of life, then shifted his gaze back to the classroom.

Li Jingwen was subtly looking at him. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions—both extreme fear and what seemed like a flirtatious gaze.

When she noticed Qin Siyang looking at her, she stood up from her seat and walked over to him.

Using the most delicate and shy voice she could muster, she asked, "Qin Siyang, I was wrong before. Can we start over?"

Perhaps fearing rejection, Li Jingwen quickly added, "I know I made mistakes, but we were together before… From now on, I'll listen to everything you say."

"I won't have anything to do with Zhou Yang anymore. He was just your substitute in my eyes. Actually, I still prefer when you took care of me."

Qin Siyang had no idea how Li Jingwen could say such things.

To him, their relationship was already crystal clear, 'Li Jingwen is not as stupid as Qian Wenzhao's nephew? what was I thinking?'

Qin Siyang couldn't understand.

Maybe humans are just absurd creatures. Even when they know there's no chance, they still cling to a sliver of hope. What if it works?

As Qin Siyang was thinking, Li Jingwen suddenly grabbed his hand, acting coquettish while apologizing.

But what she considered playful affection was, in Qin Siyang's eyes, nothing but feeding him filth.

A girl who had tried to kill him was now coming over to act all cute? Did she think he was an idiot?

Qin Siyang had had enough.

Once Li Jingwen graduated and lost the protection of her student status, he would personally visit her family.

Qin Siyang smiled and gently took Li Jingwen's hand. She hesitated for a moment but then cast him a seductive look, thinking he had forgiven her.

Leaning close to her ear, Qin Siyang whispered softly, "I don't really have a problem with it."

"It's just that… your uncle in the underworld might have some objections."
