SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL

Soon, the lottery for class assignments was completed.

Everyone entered their respective classrooms according to the lot they had drawn. Each class had exactly one hundred students.

After the students were seated, a middle-aged man entered the classroom.

This person was tall and burly, with a fierce face that made him look unapproachable. He walked with a dragon's stride and a tiger's pace, his presence intimidating.

"Good morning, students. My surname is Adore, and I am the head teacher of Class B. Before you are officially assigned to classes, I will guide you on how to become stronger!"

Teacher Adore spoke while scanning the entire class.

His gaze was piercing, and many timid students didn't dare to meet his eyes, lowering their heads.

Unexpectedly, this action provoked a reprimand from Teacher Adore.

"Don't dare to look at me? Why? Am I scary? The monsters in the Spirit Realm are a thousand times more terrifying than me! If you don't even have the courage to face them, how can you talk about resisting and surviving?"

No one expected this teacher to start by scolding them.

This show of authority was effective.

At least everyone understood that this Teacher Adore was quite strict, and they immediately became serious.

The students who hadn't dared to make eye contact before also had to raise their heads.

Teacher Adore then continued: "Before starting the class, I must first teach you the way of survival in Chicago University."

"You have all received your student cards, right? Raise your hand if you haven't."

No one raised their hand.

Including Ben, who had already received his student card.

"Student cards are very important, so be sure to keep them safe!"

Teacher Adore continued, "Let's first talk about the points inside the student card. These points can be used to rent training halls, purchase weapons, and equipment from the school's internal network—including firearms. Moreover, the school holds an internal auction every year. There might even be extraordinary items at the auction!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Extraordinary items up for auction?

Chicago University was indeed a prestigious school, going to such lengths to motivate its students.

"Everyone's student card has an initial score of one hundred points. However, starting next month, your points will change."

"The school will distribute points monthly based on class ranking. For example, students in Class A will receive 100 points each month, Class B will get 80, and Class C will get 60!"

"If you want to earn extra points, it depends on your performance in the Spirit Realm. The better your performance, the higher the point rewards from the school."

Through Teacher Adore's explanation, everyone now understood the importance of these points.

"The school's internal network is at the bottom of the official website. Your login account is your student card number, and the initial password is 1 to 9. I suggest you change the password immediately."

"Although points are important, the most critical thing is strength!"

"In the transcendent world, there is no place for falsehood. Everything depends on strength! Only with strong abilities can you earn the right to access resources!"

"Not only is it this way in transcendent universities, but it will be even more so when you enter society!"

Teacher Adore suddenly changed the subject: "If you want to enter society, you must first survive in the Spirit Realm!"

"Next, let's discuss the basic rules of the Spirit Realm."

"First, the Spirit Realm allows you to form teams. In ordinary Spirit Realms, the maximum number of team members is four. In special Spirit Realms, the minimum team size is ten."

"There are fewer special Spirit Realms, so you don't need to worry about them for now."

"My personal suggestion is that you should form a full team of four. The Spirit Realm is dangerous, and teamwork is crucial. Moreover, forming a team does not affect your basic rewards. Only the extra rewards need to be shared with your teammates."

"You don't need to worry about extra rewards for now. They are reserved for a very small number of geniuses. Only those with outstanding performance have a chance to obtain them."

"One of your most important tasks now is to find trustworthy teammates before the Spirit Realm opens next month!"

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at the students around them.

Finding teammates, the students around them were undoubtedly the best choices.

Everyone was a newcomer, they would all be entering the same level of the Spirit Realm, and having a classmate relationship made them more reliable.

"Finding teammates is not a simple matter. In addition to being trustworthy and reliable, you also have to consider whether your talents and abilities complement each other!"

"For example, everyone knows about the Natural system Devil Fruits. Although their abilities are powerful, before fully mastering 'Elementalization,' they have a major weakness—their physical bodies are not strong enough."

"Once the enemy gets close, they are in extreme danger!"

"Therefore, Natural system Devil Fruit ability users should find transcendents with 'physical body strengthening talents' as teammates."

The students nodded in agreement.

Teacher Adore continued, "To make it easier for you to find suitable teammates, everyone should now state the talents and abilities they obtained in the Holy Land."

Hearing this, Ben immediately felt a headache!

He knew this was coming.

There was no way to avoid it!

"Does anyone want to volunteer?" Teacher Adore scanned the classroom. "If not, we will go in order."

Before he could call names, a student stood up.

"Teacher, let me go first!"

Teacher Adore looked somewhat gratified.

He liked students who were bold.

In the Spirit Realm, courage and caution were both necessary. A lack of courage could be fatal.

But soon, Teacher Adore's expression froze…

The student continued, "My name is Ben. You might have heard about me from the top trending news a few days ago. That's right, I am the idiot who gave away the Flame-Flame Fruit and fused with the Kryptonian bloodline!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class erupted.

Everyone turned to look at Ben in shock.

They never expected that the "super simp" who had gone viral nationwide was now their classmate.

Even more surprising, he openly called himself an idiot in front of everyone, completely unfazed by their reactions.

It seemed…

The rumors on the internet were true. This guy really had a death wish!

But… how did someone with his choices manage to get into Chicago University?

Even Teacher Adore looked at Ben with astonishment.

After finishing his introduction, Ben sat down as if nothing had happened.

His plan was simple. Rather than waiting for others to ridicule him, he chose to get ahead of it and shock them first.

As for whether this would make his classmates dislike him or refuse to team up with him?

He didn't care.

Ben had never planned to form a team in the first place.

Meanwhile…

In the neighboring Class A,

It just so happened that it was Leo's turn to introduce himself…
