Chapter 18: The Power of Nine Dragons

In this small private room where you can book two hours for just 1 point, the "Injustice Squad" was officially formed.

Its core members include:

Top lane tank: Valerie the female knight.

Mid-lane flex pick: Morphling Ripple.

Jungle Assassin: Silverwing Killer Xiaoye.

Support vision control: Li Ge

……

The team members are quite complementary for now, so we're only planning to form a four-person team for the time being.

Once the food was served, Li Ge was still quite curious about what Xiao Ye's face looked like under the mask; it was just pure curiosity.

The fact that someone seemed to have a mask as their very essence piqued his curiosity.

But it seemed like only a blink of an eye, and she instantly put the food into her mouth. At this moment, Li Ge couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wondering if she was under an illusion.

After Xiao Ye gave him a cold look, Li Ge simply adjusted his glasses, letting the light reflect off the lenses to prevent others from seeing through his gaze.

"What are you standing there for? Let's eat!" Valerie, as the host, immediately called out to everyone.

Then, Li Ge put down her chopsticks after eating very little, looking troubled.

Before long, the food was almost ready. He looked at the others and saw that, apart from Valerie who seemed quite satisfied and was still gnawing on a big pork knuckle, everyone else looked uncomfortable.

"The school food is... just so-so..." Li Ge complained.

"Indeed, it's not exactly bad. It's said that the school designed it to be suitable for students of every race so that no race would find it too unpalatable. Therefore, it's not a pleasant taste for an individual either..." Yilian added.

"Actually, it's alright. The main thing is that the nutrition is balanced enough. The school definitely considers nutrition more than taste," Xiaoye complained. It was rare for this girl to say so much.

"Huh? I think it's delicious! I've never eaten anything this good in my life, even though this meal cost me 2 points," Valerie suddenly said, her face still smeared with oil from the pork knuckle.

Li Ge: "..."

I guess this girl has never had anything good to eat. She looks like she's from the Middle Ages. Oh well, spices and such are probably rare things in her hometown.

Although the school food wasn't to my liking, at least there were enough spices and seasonings.

"I think I'll buy some vegetable seeds tonight. It's a waste to leave them in the yard by the dormitory. I'll plant some fast-growing plants," Li Ge said, seeing Valerie finish eating and get up to leave.

"Oh, I'll go with you after class tonight," Yilian added. "Those traditional Pokémon have indeed cultivated several kinds of very fast-growing vegetables, the kind that can probably be eaten in a week."

When the two were discussing how to grow vegetables in the yard in front of the dormitory, Valerie was instantly unsettled, and even Xiaoye's eyes widened at this moment.

"Wait a minute, you blue students can grow vegetables in your dorms?" Valerie couldn't hold back any longer.

Their dormitory at Huang College is an apartment, a four-person room with four beds and a small bathroom.

They had previously thought Huang's dormitory was alright, but now that they heard Li Ge and the others were going to grow vegetables in their dormitory, they immediately compared it and found that it was really far inferior.

"Then good luck to you guys, and try to get promoted to the Blue Dorm after the midterm exams," Yilian said.

The four of them then walked and chatted, with Li Ge and Yi Lian talking about the conditions in the Blue Dormitory.

It includes a private room, a private bathroom, a large flat living room, a balcony, and a rooftop terrace on the second floor that you can decorate as you like. It even includes a small courtyard of nearly 100 square meters, where you can grow vegetables, flowers and plants, or keep small animals.

If you have the time, you can even dig a swimming pool in the yard and leash a dog or cat; the school won't care.

Some people with even more free time dig a basement, and as long as it doesn't collapse, the school doesn't care.

After describing the environment of these blue dormitories, Li Ge saw that Valerie was already gritting her teeth with envy.

Even Xiaoye, the girl, had a "Are you guys bragging?" expression on her face.

So, during the lunch break, I took them to see the amenities in the blue dormitory. As we left, the two girls seemed to have inexplicably been ignited with fighting spirit.

The afternoon was for practical training, but for these freshmen, the practical training was more about training separately.

Based on each student's unique Noble Phantasm and their specific role, practical training is conducted separately to address each student's weaknesses.

Li Ge's problem is that his physical fitness is too poor, which is because he is physically weaker than other mages in the magic academy.

After all, he is just a human being, without those strange bloodlines, even though he would be a high school high jump champion in his own world.

Li Ge did participate in the high jump at a high school sports meet and even won a prize. Her physical fitness is at least among the best of normal humans.

However, his magical artifacts and abilities did not improve his physical attributes in the slightest, so after arriving here, his physique was indeed only that of a loli among this group of mages, each with their own unique skills.

Therefore, the practical training courses arranged by the school are...

"Gravity field physical training?" Li Ge looked completely bewildered after seeing the training program.

Then he didn't have time to complain. The next moment, every cell and every muscle in his body seemed to feel an unbearable pressure, as if every cell was exerting force.

Especially his internal organs; with each breath, he felt like there was lead in his alveoli, and he felt like he was going to vomit.

"Many freshmen can't handle 2g of gravity." A burly man in a vest, who looked like an instructor, laughed as if he were in no one's own space in this double gravity field, and could even do somersaults.

Li Ge didn't even have the strength to speak; beads of sweat seeped from her face and dripped onto the gravity field.

However, as she gradually adapted to the double gravity, Li Ge found herself feeling much better. The energy from the nutritious meal she ate at noon was rapidly broken down and flowed to her limbs and bones.

Even in this gravitational field, Li Ge clearly felt a completely new sensation: spiritual particles. This power system, which is said to originate from the creator god, was alleviating his discomfort, and his body seemed to be slowly gathering spiritual particles through food and breathing.

Is this the state of first-order spirit particles gathering?

"Young man, you're the worst performer among us. I heard you're an intelligence-type treasure?" The instructor approached Li Ge and asked with a smile.

"Um……"

"Then train hard. Even if you're doing intelligence work, the ability to escape is something you have to focus on learning. The school does a great job in this regard. Don't worry, I'll definitely train you to be an escape master. At the very least, if something goes wrong, you, who works in intelligence, will be able to quickly move away." The instructor patted Li Ge on the shoulder, and those two pats almost made Li Ge gasp for breath.

"If you want a quick fix, I have medicine here, the power of nine dragons, guaranteed to be good medicine. Take this for a few months, and you'll have the muscles and strength of a wrestler," the instructor continued, but now sounded like a shrewd businessman selling pills.

Li Ge shook her head with difficulty; who knew how many side effects this Nine Dragons Power might have…
