There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

"He has a girlfriend, do you?"

"Do I look like I do?"

Song Jiang looked at Yan Cheng's ponytail over her shoulder.

"Looks like it!"

"Looks like it, but I don't. Let's go, let's go eat."

… …

Coming out of the dormitory.

Qi Jing had already noted the approximate location of Building 22 on the tram.

Using 'Snow Treading Without a Trace', it only took him a dozen seconds to arrive at the bottom of Building 22.

He sent a message on his phone:

[I'm here]

Tan Zuoyin: [So fast? I'll be right there]

Qi Jing: [No rush, no rush]

Before Qi Jing could put down his phone, he heard Tan Zuoyin's voice:

"Here!"

Qi Jing turned around and saw Tan Zuoyin waving.

"I'm here ~"

Qi Jing flashed to Tan Zuoyin's side.

"Slow down, you're going to scare someone to death."

In Tan Zuoyin's eyes, Qi Jing seemed to teleport, appearing in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Qi Jing said, "You look really good today."

Tan Zuoyin smiled sweetly, "Of course, I have to dress up nicely for the start of school."

Qi Jing suggested, "Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner first."

"Okay."

The two walked side by side towards the tram station.

Qi Jing asked curiously, "Which branch are you in?"

"I'm in Class 3101 of the Special Ability Branch," Tan Zuoyin retorted, "What about you?"

"I'm also in the Special Ability Branch, in the same class as you, that's great." Qi Jing replied, "Speaking of which, what branches are there?"

"It's written in the student handbook." Seeing Qi Jing's confused face, Tan Zuoyin knew he hadn't read it and continued, "There are 5 branches, all divided according to abilities."

"Direct damage type ability users are assigned to the Combat Ability Branch, such as laser eyes, mental shock, and other abilities."

"The Enhancement Ability Branch is for abilities that enhance the body, such as increasing physical strength when hit, transforming into a monster, etc. Their abilities can all enhance their physical bodies."

"Those who control elements such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and thunder are assigned to the Elemental Ability Branch."

"The Support Branch is for support abilities, such as the courage aura. I heard that the temperature range that level 5 ability user [Wen Huang]'s 'Temperature Control' could control was very small when it first awakened, and it wasn't very harmful, so it was initially defined as a support ability."

"And people like you who can't be classified into these four branches are assigned to the Special Ability Branch."

After listening to Tan Zuoyin's introduction, Qi Jing said, "Then wouldn't the Special Branch have the most people?"

Tan Zuoyin said, "Almost, there are quite a lot of people in the Special Branch, but few can fight.

The Ability Academy only recruits combat abilities or logistical abilities that are beneficial to the exploration of other dimensions, such as cooking and washing dishes, which would never be recruited.

Most combat abilities are classified into the first four branches."

Tan Zuoyin explained. "But the people in the Special Branch either can't fight, or they're very strong, because their attack methods don't belong to the previous few branches, making them difficult to defend against."

Hearing the last sentence, Qi Jing immediately said, "I'm so strong, it's no problem to be assigned to the Special Branch."

"The tram is here, stop being narcissistic, get on the tram first."

"Okay, okay."

The two got on the tram and began to discuss the school map.

The ability training ground is in the north of the academy, the teaching building is in the south, and a large square and experimental building are in the east.

"The swimming pool in this campus is so big."

Tan Zuoyin noticed that the largest building on the map was actually the swimming pool.

The other-dimensional gate is west of the swimming pool, and then there is the military area.

"The school is next to the military area. That's where we awakened."

Qi Jing still couldn't forget the other-dimensional gate: "When do you think we can enter the other-dimensional gate?"

Tan Zuoyin replied, "Maybe level 3, because breaking through from level 3 to level 4 requires being in another world."

"Junior students, you're wrong about that. You can freely enter another world regardless of your level, as long as you pass the 'Boys and Girls, Charge Forward' trial." The senior student sitting in front of them turned his head and said, "As long as you have the ability, you can enter the other-dimensional gate now.

Otherwise, you can only go in with the teacher during class.

Look, I'm going to the trial now."

This senior student was wearing a wetsuit with neat short hair, and his diving goggles were on his head, making him look very capable.

Qi Jing noticed his clothes and asked, "Senior, is this 'Boys and Girls, Charge Forward' related to water?"

The senior nodded and said, "The C campus corresponds to the C other-dimensional gate, behind which is a group of islands surrounded by an endless sea, called the 'Deep Sea Islands'."

"There are waves crashing there every day, and occasionally there are super-huge waves attacking.

You can only enter by passing the 'Torrent Trial', which is also to protect us. If you can't face the sea, you can only stay in Dragon King City, otherwise you'll be courting death."

Tan Zuoyin asked, "Senior, is this 'Torrent Trial' difficult?"

"It's very simple for those who have abilities that can help them pass, but for people like me whose abilities don't help at all—"

The senior student lengthened his tone:

"It's enough to work hard for a year."

Qi Jing asked, "Cultivation?"

"That's right, cultivation. You'll know when you take the cultivation class."

Qi Jing said, "Damn riddler."

"The cafeteria is here, you guys go eat, see you later."

Tan Zuoyin said, "Goodbye, senior."

… …

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Qi Jing found that half of the meat dishes were large seafood.

Could this be the creatures behind the C other-dimensional gate?

Qi Jing became even more interested in the other world.

Tan Zuoyin was very surprised: "That senior is actually gnawing on a one-meter-high crab."

Qi Jing looked in the direction Tan Zuoyin was looking and was also very surprised: "Ordinary people can't beat that crab, and judging by the hardness of the shell, bullets may not be able to penetrate it."

"That senior, he actually broke open that crab with his bare hands." Tan Zuoyin said, "He should be a body enhancement type ability user."

Qi Jing said, "Probably, it looks like I can break it open now too."

"Let's go, I want to taste that crab."

Qi Jing walked to the store selling crabs, pointed to the large crab on the menu, and said to the uncle selling the food, "How much does this crab cost?"

The uncle glanced at Qi Jing and said, "You're a freshman, right? These crabs are provided for free. Look, there's no price written on them."

The uncle pointed to the menu and said, "Besides, you may not be able to open this crab. Why don't you eat this crab meat that we've processed?"

Qi Jing said, "I'm very strong, I can definitely open it. Uncle, what kind of look is that? I can really open it."

The uncle looked suspicious and said, "Young man, I know you want to show off in front of your girlfriend, but this crab is really hard, you can't handle it."

Knowing that the uncle didn't believe him, Qi Jing had no choice but to show his strength.

Qi Jing picked up a small crab shell that someone else had finished eating from the table next to him, pinched it in the middle with both hands, twisted it, and the small crab shell turned into crumbs.

"Uncle, is this strength enough?"

The uncle looked at Qi Jing's hands, and nothing happened, so he knew that this was a body enhancement ability user, and said, "Since you are a body enhancement ability user, then I will give you one. This meat is very fragrant, eat slowly."

"Thank you, uncle."

After a while, the uncle brought a half-meter-high crab to the counter, "Your appetite shouldn't be too big, eating this slightly smaller one should be enough."

Qi Jing picked up the crab and put it on the table, ready to start eating.
