There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

The students dragged their tired bodies into the classroom, but the teacher hadn't arrived yet.

They were all discussing what the Introduction to Abilities class would teach.

One student said, "It must be the history of ability development."

"That makes sense."

Another student said, "It's definitely going to cover all the different kinds of abilities."

"That makes sense."

Yet another student said, "It might also be about how to develop abilities."

"That makes sense."

… …

The class bell rang, and a beautiful, intellectual woman with gold-rimmed glasses walked into the classroom.

"My name is Cen Xi, and I'm responsible for teaching you Introduction to Abilities."

Cen Xi looked at this group of newly enrolled young people without any of the joy of being a teacher, only resentment.

She actually didn't want to be a teacher here. As a strong woman who wanted to fight on the battlefield, her wish was to explore this vast otherworld, not to teach and educate people here.

But who told her team leader to force them to come back and rest for a year?

They even said that if she kept messing around in the otherworld, she wouldn't even be able to do basic communication with people.

How could that be true? Would she become a savage after working in the otherworld for eight years?

There were six people in the team, wouldn't communicating with them count as communication?

There was no way around it; the team leader had spoken, so what could she do? One person couldn't handle the otherworld alone.

But she was unconvinced. That detestable team leader must have gone to find a man. What was so good about those boring men? Being with them wasn't as satisfying as slashing a blade across the neck of an alien beast.

Sigh, coming back was coming back, she supposed.

As an orphan, she didn't know what she could do after coming back.

But her college roommate Wen Jing, who was a teacher at the Ability Academy, knew she was coming back and pestered her to come here and be with her.

The team leader also agreed.

She didn't have anywhere else to go, so she came to try it out. Anyway, it was only for a year; she could just follow the lesson plan in class.

Before going out today, Wen Jing dressed her up beautifully and even made her wear high heels that weren't conducive to combat and glasses without a prescription, saying that this was what a teacher should look like.

Cen Xi couldn't resist her, so she had to listen to her.

So troublesome!

Class time!

Opening the lesson plan, she read from it:

"An ability is a magical power. It is driven by Source Power and can be obtained by world-travelers.

When we travel through the world, that is, after contacting the other-dimensional gate, we will obtain an ability. Using the ability will increase the body's adaptability to it.

But adaptability has a limit.

When the limit is reached, it will only break through the valve and upgrade again when located within a special Source Power magnetic field."

So troublesome; the lesson plan is so long-winded.

"Just think of an ability as a virus. When you use it, it infects your body. The more it infects, the more it upgrades."

I'm so smart; comparing Source Power to a virus. I'm simply born to be a teacher.

Cen Xi continued:

"If you can't upgrade halfway through, you have to go to the otherworld. The magnetic field there can make the virus even stronger, so you can upgrade again."

That was a good explanation. I'll reward myself with an extra leg of a Great Wilderness Bull today.

"Teacher, world-travelers can obtain abilities, so can alien beasts also obtain abilities when they come to Earth?" Bai Xiaoxiao raised her hand to ask.

Cen Xi took off her glasses, revealing her sharp face.

"Yes, they can. But alien beasts without brains won't specifically look for other-dimensional gates. Only alien races that have formed civilizations will try every means to come to Earth.

Therefore, we must guard the other-dimensional gates and not retreat a single step."

Cen Xi had participated in a war against alien races last year. It had to be said that they were much more difficult to deal with than brainless alien beasts; they even knew how to run away.

"But each of their races only has one ability, while we humans have more abilities than hairs on an ox. They're simply not durable."

What was that saying about having more than hairs on an ox? I haven't used idioms in so long; I've forgotten them all.

Jian Fengli stood up and asked, "Teacher, teacher, have any alien races successfully come to Earth?"

Cen Xi thought for a while, then held up her fingers and counted.

They were the thirty-first class this year. Thirty-one minus eleven equals thirty minus ten, equals twenty!

Yes, it's twenty.

"Twenty years ago, our country didn't know that other countries had also discovered other-dimensional gates, but at that time, a student studying abroad in the neighboring island country reported that he had seen monsters there, many, many monsters.

Those monsters also ate people. Fortunately, he was lucky and escaped, fleeing to an island with a signal to call for help.

At that time, we sent an ability user who had just advanced to level 5, [Hunter], who is Uncle Hong, and had their hunter team go there to investigate the situation.

When they arrived, one of the four islands of the island country had already fallen.

I don't know which island it was; I can't remember.

But Uncle Hong was strong; he wiped out all the alien races on that island within a day. Even if those alien races had obtained various abilities, they were just small fry in front of Uncle Hong.

In the end, they also found the culprit.

Then we sent people to take over the gate, and we still control it there now."

Cen Xi's team leader was the daughter of [Hunter] Hong Wei, so she was often drilled by the hunter team every time she returned to the city, and she had a good relationship with them; she usually called them uncles.

"Later, after investigation, it was found that the island country had discovered this other-dimensional gate from the beginning. They sent an investigation team and found that there was no danger on the other side of the gate, so they wanted to secretly immigrate there.

Just after almost all of their high-level officials had entered, they were discovered by the alien races.

When they saw these monsters, they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, which led to more than half of them being killed.

The remaining person who obtained the ability of mental communication led those alien races to the back of the other-dimensional gate and was also eaten.

Originally, the alien races wouldn't have discovered the other-dimensional gate so quickly; it was all the fault of that softie, which led to the loss of the people on an island."

Speaking of this, Cen Xi was so angry that she couldn't stand it; she hated those who bullied the weak and feared the strong the most.

"After that, some of their remaining high-level officials sealed off the matter as before and began to immigrate to that island, and then the island slowly recovered."

Cen Xi continued:

"Later, under the leadership of our country, various countries jointly established the Global Ability Association and began a large-scale investigation of other-dimensional gates around the world, striving to achieve priority control.

They actually found two other-dimensional gates occupied by alien beasts, one in Africa and one in Antarctica.

Thanks to Uncle Hong's strength, they were all killed cleanly."

Cen Xi was still very envious of Hong Wei's ability.

But her daughter's ability name was very funny.

Her team leader, Hong Xiaole, was the second person in the world to obtain an ability.

Everyone knew that Hong Wei was the first person in the world to discover and obtain an ability, but no one knew that Hong Wei was carrying a one-year-old daughter on his back at the time.

In order to protect his daughter, Hong Wei burst out with the ultimate power and fought to the death with those ferocious prairie wolves for two days.

Fortunately, they both survived.

However, since the ability is randomly selected based on the knowledge in the brain, what can a one-year-old child know?

Eating, drinking, pooping, and sleeping.

So Hong Xiaole obtained the "Gluttony" ability.

She can become stronger by eating.

Although Cen Xi often laughed at her for being a glutton, she was also truly envious.
