n“I can’t seem to improve the combat technique that I’ve been practicing. I believe that if I went into the wild to gain some experience, my proficiency would increase and may become full.”

n

n

nVincent looked at Chris with anticipation.

n

n

n

n

nEvery single one of Quinn’s students was a favored child of the heavens.

n

n

nIf one wanted to go out, he or she would need a certificate issued by their teacher.

n

n

n“Yes, I can’t remember the combat technique exactly, but proficiency needs to be obtained bit by bit…”

n

n

n“What? Did you just say that your combat skills are almost full?”

n

n

n

n

nChris’s gaze was dull.

n

n

nShe only became 100% familiar with her combat skills after three years. This was already considered as an extremely high achievement and talent among people of the same age.

n

n

nHowever, with Vincent, she felt like she was simply trash.

n

n

nNo! She was not even trash!

n

n

n

n

nShe just felt like she needed to leave quickly. If she stayed any longer, she might be beaten to death by Vincent.

n

n

n“I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to deal with, so I’ll be leaving first.”

n

n

n“If there are any problems, call me.”

n

n

nChris then stood up and left.

n

n

n“Teacher Chris, I still need your help with the wilderness training!” Vincent said in a hurry.

n

n

n“Okay, I’ll handle it for you later. I’ll inform you when it’s done.”

n

n

n

n

nVincent heard Chris’s answer from the other side of the dormitory door.

n

n

nChris let out a long breath after leaving Vincent’s dormitory.

n

n

nAlthough she felt like she had dealt a blow with Vincent, she was still proud of him in her heart.

n

n

nJust as she was about to leave, the door of dormitory No. 8 swung open.

n

n

nAngelina and her sister walked out immediately.

n

n

n“It’s them!”

n

n

nChris’s pupils suddenly constricted.

n

n

nAs a specially recruited teacher for Quinn, she was extremely familiar with the two sisters.

n

n

n

n

n“That old fellow actually agreed to let his precious granddaughters come to Quinn!”

n

n

nChris muttered softly to herself.

n

n

nThen, she revealed a strange smile.

n

n

nShe was indeed lively this year.

n

n

nIn the afternoon, Vincent was practicing his psionic ability control.

n

n

nHe originally planned to head out into the wilderness today.

n

n

nHowever, as he had made new progress mastering his superpower, he put his plan on hold.

n

n

nJust as he was compressing his superpower to the size of a shot put with ease, his cell phone rang.

n

n

n“Vincent, I’ve gotten permission for you to go on field training.” Chris said.

n

n

n“So fast!”

n

n

nVincent was surprised by Chris’s efficiency.

n

n

n“I’ll be there right. Thank you again, teacher Chris!”

n

n

nVincent went to Chris’s office and saw her busy on her computer.

n

n

n

n

n“Give me your student ID.”

n

n

nChris took Vincent’s student ID and inserted it into a device located at the side.

n

n

nAs the device beeped, she returned the student ID to Vincent.

n

n

n“Although I allowed you to go out to the wilderness to train, you must know that the wilderness of Blazing City cannot be compared to Ellis City”

n

n

nChris instructed Vincent earnestly.

n

n

n“The lowest level monsters were still at beginner level. There might even be special-class or even lord-class monsters appearing.”

n

n

n“For your safety, I will only allow you to move within a 2,000 meter radius.”

n

n

n“You must be careful!”

n

n

nHis words were filled with concern.

n

n

nVincent nodded to show that he understood.

n

n

n“Take these two bottles of medicine with you.”

n

n

nChris thought for a moment, and with a sweep of her right hand at her waist, she took out two glass bottles that were the size of mineral water bottles.

n

n

nEach of them contained at least 20 pills.

n

n

n“The blue pills are for replenishing stamina, while the green pills are for restoring psionic power.”

n

n

nVincent looked at the two bottles of pills, his heart was moved.

n

n

nIt was amazing for a specially recruited teacher to have done so much for him.

n

n

nWith his good eye, he could naturally tell that the two bottles of pills were extraordinary.

n

n

nThey were worth at least 100,000 psionic power coins.

n

n

n“Teacher Chris, this is too expensive.”

n

n

nVincent rejected the gift quickly.

n

n

nChris rolled her eyes at him. “If I ask you to take it, then take it.”

n

n

n“You are a special student of mine and Quinn. It is my duty to protect you.”

n

n

nVincent knew that the so-called duty was just Chris’s excuse, but he did not reveal what he truly thought. He just remembered her kindness in his heart.

n

n

n“Thank you, teacher!”

n

n

nChris smiled after seeing Vincent keeping the pills.

n

n

n“There’s no need to be polite with me. However, it’s only this once. After all, I don’t have much money.”

n

n

nVincent just smiled.

n

n

nEver since they met, Chris had helped him a lot.

n

n

nHe did not believe that it was the same for every special recruit.

n

n

nWhy was Chris being so nice to him?

n

n

nThe only thing Vincent could think of was that Chris was betting on his future.

n

n

nOn Vincent’s future achievements!

n

n

nHowever, this of course did not affect his ability to remember Chris’s kindness.

n

n

nChris then asked him to do something else, and Vincent left.

n

n

nHe walked out of the Quinn School and took a taxi out of the city.

n

n

nBlazing City was the third largest city in Falcon Country. It guarded two black holes.

n

n

nAlthough both of them were relatively low-level, they were still extremely dangerous.

n

n

nThere would be a beast tide inside the black hole every day. Even if a base was built inside the black hole, it was still unable to guarantee the safety of all the superpowered people who went inside it.

n

n

nFor this reason, the Quinn School released a portion of the monsters inside the black hole and kept them within a radius of 100,000 meters around Blazing City. The monsters were used to train their students.

n

n

nThe monsters ranged from beginner to lord-tier and were enough for the students to gain some experience.

n

n

nHowever, in order to ensure the paramount safety of the students, the wilderness was treated like a black hole, with many supply points set up.

n

n

nThese supply points were not only available to the students at Quinn, but also to mercenaries.

n

n

nThe so-called mercenaries were superpower users who did not belong to any faction.

n

n

nThey travelled between the cities alone or in groups. They relied on monster-hunting and sold monster bones for a living.

n

n

nVincent rushed to the nearest supply point at Blazing City. Even though he was still a hundred meters away, he felt a murderous aura.

n

n

nAlthough it was called a supply point, it looked more like a small village.

n

n

nThe shops sold all kinds of medicine, weapons, equipment, monster bones, crystals, and others.

n

n

nPeople came and went, and it was very lively.

n

n

nThere were constantly patrols on the streets. They were comprised of mercenaries, teachers, students from various colleges, and the city guards of Blazing City.

n

n

nThe main purpose was to maintain the safety of the supply point and resolve grudges between superpowered people.

n

n

nBased on Vincent’s understanding, this supply point was known as Bick Town. In addition to the student groups of the Quinn School and other schools, there were also two mercenary groups.

n

n

nThe two mercenary groups had been stationed in Bick Town all year long and were constantly fighting over it.

n

n

nFortunately, their fights did not affect the others. Even if they encountered danger in the wild, there was always help available.

n

n

nThe two mercenary groups seemed to have this as an unwritten rule, especially when it came to students.

n

n

nIt was understandable why this was so.

n

n

nIn this world, 99% of the experts guarding the black hole were from the schools.

n

n

nProtecting the students was equivalent to protecting the safety of this world.

n

n

n“Please show me your ID.”

n

n

nAt the entrance of Bick Town, Vincent was stopped by a middle-aged man in his forties with a cold face. The man had many scars.

n

n

nVincent took out his student ID.

n

n

nThe middle-aged man used a portable scanner to scan it.

n

n

n“You are this year’s special enrollment student for Quinn!”

n

n

nThe middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then his expression became much gentler. However, he still looked frightening.

n

n

n“You just enrolled and you are daring enough to come to the wild to train. Young Man, you have quite the guts!”

n

n

nVincent smiled at him.

n

n

nThe middle-aged man returned the student ID to Vincent.

n

n

n“My name is Hao Sai, I’m from the HUBIC mercenary group. If you encounter any trouble in the wild, fire a flare. We will help you.”

n

n

nAs he spoke, he handed a flare gun to Vincent.

n

n

nVincent did not reject Hao Sai’s good intentions. He took the flare gun, thanked him, and entered Bick Town.
