Chapter 173: School Opening and Superpowers
September 1st, the first day of sophomore year.
After Lan Ximeng finished a programming class, she went to the game teacher's office during the break and asked the counselor about graduating early.
The answer I got was that the study period in school must be more than two years, including double degrees.
"You also need to complete all required courses with grades that meet the requirements and have no record of retaking a course." The counselor looked at Lan Ximeng's schedule and said, "But your time does not allow you to complete it within a year."
After leaving the office, Lan Ximeng put away the application for early graduation.
"It seems that I can't finish a major ahead of schedule this year." Lan Ximeng shook her head helplessly. It seems that she has to run around now.
Fortunately, she can run away now even if she leaves the company.
I am increasingly regretting that I didn’t look carefully when choosing my major and ended up getting myself a double degree.
When we arrived at the Battle Court, we saw that the central square was full of people.
Lan Ximeng curiously pulled the onlookers over and asked, "What's going on?"
The student being asked shook his head: "I don't know, I just came here to watch."
Not getting the answer she wanted, Lan Ximeng went straight to the teaching building and watched the spectacular scene downstairs with her classmates.
"What's going on?" a classmate asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know, ask the monitor."
"Squad leader, do you know what's going on down there?"
The squad leader who had just come up was pulled to the fence.
"What's the matter?" The squad leader looked downstairs, where groups of people were standing straight, and a murderous aura was beginning to emerge.
"Oh, that's it. I thought it was something else."
The monitor continued, "The various planets have sent many soldiers to the front lines to defend the borders. Now there is a shortage of manpower, and riots have begun to occur in various places, so the seniors are asked to start their internships early."
"That's not right. I saw my senior from the third year in there. I played games with him before." A classmate saw a senior he knew in the crowd.
"I don't know. I only know that the seniors have started their internship early. It's a bit dangerous for the juniors to go to the border now." The monitor heard the news from others and he really didn't know how much truth there was in it.
Lan Ximeng was listening to their conversation and thought about the gossip she and her elder brother heard in the cafeteria a few days ago.
It seems that it is probably true.
"Ring, ring, ring." The bell rang for class, and Lan Ximeng and her classmates entered the classroom together.
This class is also a new course, called "Superpowers".
When people knew it was this course, the news in the group exploded.
Everyone thinks that supernatural powers are a very private matter, and speaking about them is equivalent to putting your life in the hands of others.
The new teacher was a boy with fiery red hair, about the same age as the students.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yanwu, and I'm your superpower teacher. My superpower is fire." The next moment, a cluster of flame appeared in Yanwu's hand.
The temperature in the classroom rose instantly, and the smart air conditioner detected the sudden temperature change and began to bleed out cold air.
The students below looked at the fireworks set off by the teacher on the stage with their mouths wide open.
"Didn't you say that the difference can be revealed?"
"Is there such a saying? I remember that you can't point out the shortcomings of superpowers, right?"
“I remember not being able to say it.”
Yan Wu retracted the flame, looked at the students who were discussing supernatural powers and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them directly. Why are you talking nonsense down there?"
Hearing this, a classmate raised his hand.
"You speak." Yanwu asked the student who raised his hand to stand up and speak.
"Teacher, I remember that superpowers are a very confidential matter. It's not that they can't be told about it, but will some people use their superpowers to eliminate others?" The student expressed his doubts.
Yanwu shook his head, saying with a look of "you are all fools" "Have you watched too many TV dramas and news? If this is true, then we who know the orcs' genetic abilities can attack their palace."
The students below had different expressions. Someone raised his hand again: "Teacher, if we know the characteristics of the superpower, can we kill the other person?"
"What does killing a person have to do with knowing their superpowers? If you stab him in the heart while he's sleeping, won't he die? What does it have to do with superpowers?" Yanwu felt that there was something wrong with the IQ of these brats. Killing someone is not something that can be solved only through superpowers.
He continued, "To put it simply, superpowers are a derivative of our mental power. Only those with mental power have the opportunity to activate superpowers."
"Do you know why you have this class?"
All the students shook their heads.
"That's because you all have the potential to activate superpowers."
This one word caused a huge uproar.
"Teacher, do you mean I have superpowers?!"
"No way, why didn't I feel it?"
"Maybe it hasn't been stimulated yet."
Among them, the few who had confirmed that they had superpowers all had strange expressions on their faces, including Lan Ximeng.
"I'm talking about potential, not certainty!" Yan Wu interrupted their fantasies and said, "Some of you must have already activated your superpowers, but you didn't say anything for your own safety."
"That's fine, because some people can't stand seeing someone better than themselves, so they'll take action to destroy that person."
"No way? We are all classmates, and those who can enter the military academy have good character."
"Not necessarily. Who knows whether the person next to you is a human or a dog?"
Yanwu clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention back to him.
"Okay, let's continue with the class."
"I will now teach you how to confirm whether you have activated your superpowers, because some idiots have lived for decades without knowing that they have superpowers."
"Come on, our body's big brain stores spiritual power, and the supernatural power is in our lower abdomen. First, surround the spiritual power around the lower abdomen, then do this, then that."
The students followed his instructions step by step, and Lan Ximeng then realized that the way he was using his supernatural powers was wrong.
It turns out that superpowers are not like mental power, which you can use whenever you want and then just wait for time to recover.
It requires conversion of mental energy, which takes time.
And every time, Lan Ximeng directly used her mental power to convert and use it, so even if she had a lot of mental power, it would be exhausted.
"When you have time, you can meditate and store up your superpowers. Then you don't have to transform while fighting."
“Has anyone among you successfully converted?”
When Yanwu saw that the aura around several students below began to change, he knew that someone had succeeded.
But no one spoke.
He didn't get angry when he didn't get a reply and continued to talk about the main points.
After half an hour, Yanwu directly stopped everyone.
"Okay, if you haven't succeeded in half an hour, it means you haven't activated your superpowers yet."
"Teacher, is there any way for us to stimulate our superpowers?" A person who failed to successfully sense his superpowers raised his hand and asked.
Yanwu shook his head and said, "Apart from time, it can only be stimulated by experiencing life and death."
"Let's continue the lecture." Yan Wu didn't care about the students' disappointment and continued: "Superpowers are divided into elemental superpowers, body strengthening superpowers, special superpowers..."
"And my superpower is fire, which is an elemental power."
"The quality of superpowers is linked to mental strength. The stronger the mental strength of a person, the stronger the superpowers they can unleash. People with average mental strength will unleash average quality superpowers."
