Matthew Atkinson & Natalie Russell
Oxford, Blue Marble
On the training ground of the University of Oxford, the teaching staff who had been there before were still there and had not left.
This was because the speed of time passing in the Supernatural Realm was different from the speed of time passing in Blue Marble.
No matter how much time passed in the Supernatural Realm, only one hour passed in the Blue Marble!
This was the same for each layer of the Supernatural Realm.
Those who went to the Supernatural Realm would spend maybe a day or perhaps a month there, but as long as they survived, they would return to the Blue Marble after an hour.
…
At the moment, the vice principal standing on the training ground had a dark face and stared at Professor Holland and Professor Grant with unfriendly eyes.
He never expected that these two professors would dare to let Natalie Russell, a special student, partner with a student with useless ability to enter the dangerous supernatural realm.
Moreover, it was a two-person team, leaving two spots vacant.
This was pure nonsense!
Natalie was the student that the University of Oxford fought for with all its might. For this student, the University of Oxford even changed the admission standards and admitted an extra student with a useless talent.
The negative impact of this move was not good.
Now that the news had spread online, many netizens who didn't know the truth were making sarcastic comments, saying that the University of Oxford has lax management and that people could easily use the back door.
Such remarks had already damaged the University of Oxford's reputation.
Even so, the University of Oxford never regretted this decision about Natalie Russell.
Because, as long as the University of Oxford could raise a top-notch supernatural, it would bring greater benefits to the university!
Therefore, before going on a business trip, the principal repeatedly instructed the vice principal to take good care of the student Natalie Russell.
However, what the vice principal didn't expect was that, while he was taking a nap, something outrageous like this actually happened.
In fact, this was also his negligence. He needed to look into the reports about Natalie Russell in more detail. But he himself did not expect Natalie to be so willful.
Just in the past hour, he had been preaching to Professor Grant and Professor Holland for an entire hour!
He also said that if Natalie Russell were to encounter an accident in the supernatural realm, both of them would have to suffer the consequences.
"It is about time, last 30 seconds!"
A university staff member who was in charge of timekeeping spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the vice principal withdrew his vicious gaze from the two of them and said, "Everyone, prepare to welcome them."
All the teaching and university staff stood up straight and prepared themself to welcome the students' triumphant return.
This was a treatment only for first-year students!
The next moment, time's up.
More than two hundred figures suddenly appeared on the training ground.
-Clap, clap, clap…
The vice principal immediately led the applause, and other teaching and university staff also applauded.
"Students, welcome back!"
The vice-principal said loudly.
The first-year students standing on the training ground looked confused.
They had no memory of what happened in the supernatural realm.
At this moment, there were no wounds on their bodies, their clothes were not damaged at all, and even their hairstyles were unchanged.
They were still the same as they were before entering the supernatural realm.
Many students even had the illusion that they were standing on the training ground without moving.
This was the mystery of the Amnesiac Layer!
Then, a staff member quietly came up behind the vice principal and reported in a low voice. "Vice Principal, out of 300 new students, 247 have returned. The remaining 53..."
The rest of the sentence was not finished, but the meaning was obvious.
The supernatural realm would teleport everyone out at once. If someone didn't come back, it meant they would never come back.
The vice principal frowned immediately.
The death rate this time was actually more than one-sixth!
They were a prestigious school, and all of the students had good abilities.
Such a death rate was a bit high.
"Notify the parents of the deceased immediately and do a good job of handling the aftermath!" the vice principal ordered.
The staff member who reported the matter immediately nodded and set to work.
The aftermath work was actually not difficult to do.
Because the country had long stipulated that if a student died in the supernatural realm, the school would not be responsible!
Over the years, everyone had accepted this rule, and generally speaking, no parents would come to the University of Oxford to make trouble.
After all, the supernatural realm was dangerous. Even the top supernaturals couldn't guarantee a 100% survival rate, let alone first-year students.
On a journey into the supernatural realm, life and death had always been left to ability and fate!
…
After the vice principal gave his instructions, his eyes searched the crowd for Natalie Russell.
When he saw Natalie Russell return safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression looked a little better.
"Everyone, please wait a moment!" the vice-principal said into the microphone, "The school cafeteria has prepared a rich meal for everyone. Once you have received and reported your grades and rewards, you can go and eat and rest."
Because the first ten layers were mandatory supernatural realm layers, there were more people than volunteer layers.
So it would take some time for the Supernatural Realm to calculate and distribute everyone's grades and rewards.
Therefore, after leaving the supernatural realm, the grades and rewards of all rookie supernatural people were not issued immediately.
Instead, within half an hour, everyone would receive their own grades and rewards one after another.
Of course, things were different from the 11th layer of the supernatural realm onward.
Upon completion of the task, grades and rewards would be issued immediately.
The vice principal continued, "Students who received grades and rewards, please report to your professors immediately!"
This was because the school needed to record the students' performance.
Then, students would be divided into classes based on their performance, and resources would be distributed accordingly.
Not long after, four students raised their hands simultaneously and reported, "Professor, we have received the mission grades and rewards from the Supernatural Realm."
The four of them worked as a team so that they would receive the mission grades and rewards together.
Everyone looked towards the four students.
These four people were from Class A, and Professor Grant immediately stepped forward.
"Show your reward panel in your left eye." Professor Grant said.
The attribute panel in the supernatural person's left eye contained private information, and it was considered rude to ask about it.
Because, in addition to the people's attributes, all the skills and abilities they acquired were visible in this panel.
The grade and reward panel were different.
Institutions such as universities, the military, and the government could request access to the grade and reward panels of students and staff affiliated with them.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they were willing to 'show' it to others.
After hearing what Professor Grant said, the four of them thought about it and called up the grade and reward panel they had just received in their left eyes.
But other people still couldn't see it.
Professor Grant chose a girl among the four, raised her finger, and touched her forehead.
Then, the other party's grade and reward panel appeared in Professor Grant's left eye.
Like transferring data.
The supernatural Realm and Holy Land were super-dimensional existences that were beyond human comprehension.
Of course, Professor Grant was also a supernatural person, and only a supernatural person could read the panels of another supernatural.
Ordinary people couldn't do that!
"Connie Richards, Jaxson Black, Riley Morgan, Peter Mills..."
Professor Grant read out the names of the four people and then announced.
"Killed Monsters: 37"
"Comprehensive Grade: B!"
"Overall Ranking: 179th."
"Obtained Basic Reward: 97 Attribute Points."
The four of them belonged to the same team and received the same rewards.
Therefore, Professor Grant only needed to check one person's Grade and Reward panel to find out the results.
When Professor Grant read out the scores of these four people, many students immediately showed envious expressions.
The overall ranking was 179th among first-year students worldwide, which was enough to show that the four of them performed very well.
A nearby university staff member immediately entered the four students' results into the university database.
Professor Grant retracted her finger, smiled at the four people, and said. "Well done!"
