Natalie Russell
Oxford
Professor Grant was feeling very uncomfortable now!
She was extremely satisfied with Natalie Russell, a student, both in terms of talent and hard work.
But Natalie Russell was just too stubborn.
Once she made up her mind, no one could change it.
Hearing that Natalie Russell was determined to team up with Matthew Atkinson, she finally made a compromise.
But. Professor Grant also had some other questions.
She asked, "Natalie, even if you wanted to team up with Matthew Atkinson, why did you reject all the students from Class A? A team of four can be formed at the first layer of the Supernatural Realm. Besides you and Matthew Atkinson, what about the remaining two spots? Did you give them to students from other classes?"
This question made Natalie Russell a little unsure of how to answer.
In the end, she told the truth. "Matthew is the captain. He has all the authority of the team. I don't know who he wants to include in the team."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of disbelief. And then the murmurings began.
"Oh my god!"
"That Matthew Atkinson clearly had a useless ability! How can he be the captain? And how can he make Natalie Russell so obedient and willing to be just a team member?"
"It's simply the opposite of being a simp!"
"Between the two of them, who is the simp one?"
Even Professor Grant was surprised and couldn't understand Natalie Russell's behavior.
She was in class now and couldn't waste other students' time, so she said, "Natalie, come to my office after class!"

Matthew Atkinson
Oxford
Class B.
When the other students finished their reports, the data gathering on the students' attribute growth came to an end.
Actually, it was not over yet because one person still hadn't given his report: Matthew Atkinson!
However, Professor Holland deliberately omitted Matthew.
In his opinion, Matthew didn't even participate in the training, so how could his attributes increase?
If the professor asked him, it would only embarrass Matthew and make him lose face.
And Professor Holland didn't like to do things like humiliating students, so he deliberately omitted Matthew.
As for the fact that Professor Holland skipped him, Matthew himself was very satisfied!
If the professor really asked him, he could only lie about his attributes.
Not because he was afraid that revealing his attributes would scare everyone to death!
No! The greater possibility was that everyone would think he had a mental illness and wouldn't believe what he says at all.
"Overall, I am quite satisfied with your performance this month."
"However, it's useless for me to be satisfied. The real test that awaits you is the supernatural realm!"
"Tomorrow is June 1st, the opening day of the supernatural realm for you. You will embark on your first journey to the supernatural realm. I wish you all a successful start and a fruitful return!"
The 1st of every month was the day when the supernatural realm opened.
When Professor Holland said this, he suddenly started reading everyone's names.
"Ella West, Lucian Richards, Edison Burton..." He read out the names of all 100 students in the class, including Matthew's.
After reading out the names in one breath, Professor Holland continued, "Everyone whose names I called out just now, come back safely tomorrow. Not one less!"
"Did you understand?!"
Professor Holland shouted the last sentence in a deep voice.
Hundred students immediately responded in unison:
"Yes, sir!!!"
As soon as this shout was uttered, the atmosphere in the classroom changed.
Many of the more emotional students immediately shed tears.
Professor Holland didn't stop them. He scanned everyone's faces, as if trying to memorize each student's appearance. Then he said, "Gather in the campus training ground before 11 a.m. tomorrow. Now get out. Class dismissed!"
Dropping this sentence, Professor Holland took his things and turned to leave the classroom.
The students were silent, and then left the classroom one after another, gathering in groups of three or four with their teammates to discuss tomorrow's trip to the supernatural realm.
At this moment, Matthew became a "lonely man"! No one paid any attention to him.
But he didn't care.
Mainly, because he didn't participate in training, he seemed somewhat out of place in this class.
Matthew didn't stay long. Shortly after Professor Holland dismissed the class, he left the campus and returned to his apartment to sleep.

Professor Holland
Oxford
Same day, afternoon.
Professor Holland, who had just finished his meal, was sitting in the office, looking at the students' statistics.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
Professor Holland stood up and opened the door. When he saw Professor Grant standing at the door, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"Professor Grant? Why are you here?"
Professor Grant smiled and said, "I have something I want to discuss with you, Professor Holland."
Hearing this, Professor Holland quickly stepped aside.
"Professor Grant, please come in."
After Professor Grant entered the office, Professor Holland did not close the door but opened it fully.
From that, it could be seen that Professor Holland was a cautious person.
If he closed the door and he and Professor Grant were alone in a room, even for everyday work communication, nasty rumors would easily spread.
Professor Grant was very satisfied with Professor Holland's little gesture.
"Professor Grant, what would you like to drink? I have tea and boiled water here."
Professor Holland seemed very polite.
He knew very well how powerful the woman in front of him was; otherwise, she would not have defeated him and become the head coach of Class A.
"Don't bother, Professor Holland, I'll just say a few words and leave." Professor Grant said.
"Oh?"
Professor Holland took the opportunity to sit across from Professor Grant and said, "I wonder what Professor Grant is going to say? I'm all ears."
"I want to talk about the student named Matthew Atkinson in your class."
When Matthew was mentioned, the expression on Professor Grant's face changed.
"Matthew Atkinson?" Professor Holland asked doubtfully, "What about him?"
Professor Grant snarled, "He stole the most talented student in my class!"
Professor Holland was stunned.
Afterwards, Professor Grant recounted the entire incident in brief.
"...Professor Holland, do you know what the attribute of Natalie Russell's training results this month are? A full 61 points! And this is not even a full month of data. How could such a genius be delayed by a useless ability owner, Matthew Atkinson?"
"Professor Holland, you've been teaching students for many years, so you should know exactly how much potential Natalie Russell has. It would be a shame if such a genius took the wrong path and her future was affected!"
Hearing Professor Grant's long speech, Professor Holland frowned. He already understood why Professor Grant came to see him.
However, he still asked: "Professor Grant, what do you mean?"
"I think that as professors, we should put an end to this kind of absurdity!"
Professor Grant said righteously, "So I hope, Professor Holland, you can cooperate with me and stop Natalie Russell and Matthew Atkinson from teaming up. I'll convince my student Natalie, and you can deal with your student Matthew Atkinson!"
Actually, if she could convince Natalie Russell, she wouldn't have to come to see Professor Holland.
It was because Natalie was too stubborn. She had just tried to persuade her for several hours, but to no avail. She had no choice but to come to Professor Holland's office.
Professor Holland rejected Professor Grant's suggestion without hesitation.
"Professor Grant, I understand your thoughts, but our school has its own rules, and teaching and university staff can't interfere with the students' teaming-up process. So, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request."
As Matthew Atkinson's teacher, he must, of course, consider things from Matthew Atkinson's point of view.
Before, he was still worried about Matthew's teaming problem. Now there was a genius willing to lead Matthew, which was definitely a good thing for Professor Holland.
"Oh? Really?"
Seeing that Professor Holland was unwilling to cooperate, Professor Grant immediately narrowed her eyes and exuded a dangerous aura.
Professor Holland took a deep breath, then looked at her with a firm expression, not giving in.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense!
A moment later.
Professor Grant suddenly calmed down, put on a smile, and became kind again.
She stood up and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."
"Professor Grant, take care."
Professor Holland stood up to see her off.
But he was very clear in his heart. This time, he offended this dangerous woman.
