Chu Jing, an utterly ordinary eighteen-year-old about to start college.
After stepping in to help people one too many times, he has been named a Model Citizen of Yancheng for the fifth time.
But Chu Jing really isn't doing it on purpose.
When he was thirteen, he suddenly awakened a strange superpower: a 100% chance of catching a blade barehanded.
That's right. Even if an armed robber is three streets away, Chu Jing will be forced to flash in front of him, forced to raise his hands and catch the gleaming blade, completely unharmed, while scaring everyone out of their wits.
At first, even the kitchen knives in the cafeteria aunties' hands would make him flash in and catch them.
But Chu Jing really only wants a peaceful life.
After years of hard work, he can finally control his bizarre ability well enough to keep it from drawing attention, as much as possible.
That is, until his college entrance exam results come out and an owl delivers him a compulsory admission notice.
From the Superpower Academy of Xia Kingdom.
It turns out there are plenty of superpowered people in Xia Kingdom, and he'd been on their radar for ages.
Chu Jing gladly accepts the notice and heads to the capital to report for enrollment.
His superpower is so weak that if he stays quietly under the authorities' watch, surely he can keep living his peaceful, uneventful life.
With high hopes for the future, Chu Jing smoothly enrolls in the Superpower Academy and becomes an ordinary new student in Class A, Year One!

On the first day of school, the opening ceremony is intense.
The ground is covered with guns and weapons, and mecha warships fly overhead.
The principal decides that an outstanding second-year student representative will fire the first shot of the new school year.
The representative is named Ling Yu. A famous figure, a prodigy, and possessed of a mental power level that leaves everyone else in the dust.
His superpower is just as impressive: he has a 100% hit rate with any weapon and has never missed in his life.
Until he meets Chu Jing.
Seeing the handsome upperclassman stride onto the stage amid deafening cheers, dragging a gorgeous, flashy, extra-long enchanted cleaver, Chu Jing knows something is terribly wrong, but he can't stop it.
What happens next is obvious.
Ling Yu has only just thrown his dagger 0.001 millimeters when a shadow rushes toward him like a cannonball. Barehanded, Chu Jing catches the blade, then falls heavily yet helplessly... right into his arms.
They are so close that they almost kiss.
The entire school falls silent, staring blankly as the two embrace and press close together.
The Chu Jing who yearned above all for a peaceful campus life becomes famous with one catch.
