Matthew Atkinson
University of Oxford
Official class division was determined based on the freshmen's performance in the first layer of the supernatural realm.
It doesn't matter if someone was temporarily assigned to Class B or Class C. As long as they performed well in the subsequent supernatural realm layers, they would still have a chance to join Class A.
At the same time, someone shouldn't be complacent if they were assigned to Class A.
If they won't perform well in the following three layers of the supernatural realm, they would be downgraded and would join Class B or even Class C.
The college used such rules to motivate students, hoping they would always maintain their competitive spirit!
Matthew initially thought that with the grades he got in the first layer of the supernatural realm, he would be able to enter Class A.
Unexpectedly.
When he got his document, it showed the class he was assigned to, and it was actually "Class B"!
The reason given was that although he performed well in the first layer of the supernatural realm, his ability had significant flaws, and his potential was insufficient.
'So, is Kryptonian Super Physique a flawed ability? And lack of potential?' Matthew thought and smiled.
He could sense that something was wrong with this document, but he didn't care.
Class B was Class B!
To be honest, he quite liked being in Class B.
Professor Holland was a nice guy. He looked cold, but he was warm-hearted. He never forced students to do something they didn't want to do. He was just the right coach for Matthew.
After taking his document, Matthew turned and walked into the Class B classroom.
At the same time.
Director Wallace, who was not far away, was slightly relieved when he found that Matthew Atkinson did not make a fuss.
It was his own decision to assign Matthew Atkinson to Class B. And he made this decision for a purpose.
Seeing that Matthew Atkinson had already walked into Class B, he took out his phone and sent a message to his nephew.
…
Soon, the class division was completed.
The students walked into the classroom according to their assignments.
Each class used to have 100 students. But now it had changed. Each class had only 83 students.
Because some students did not return from the first layer of the supernatural realm last time.
The missing number of students will be distributed among three classes.
…
Class B.
When a group of students walked into the classroom and saw Matthew Atkinson sitting in his seat, they were stunned.
Matthew Atkinson was now a celebrity in the school, second only to Natalie Russell in fame. Who didn't know him?
What's more, this group of students was originally in Class B and had been studying with Matthew Atkinson for a month, so they were old acquaintances.
"Matthew? Why are you still sitting here?"
"Yeah! With your grades, shouldn't you be in Class A?"
Several students asked.
Matthew Atkinson smiled and said, "I like the atmosphere of Class B, okay?"
No one would believe this.
Just as they were about to continue asking, Professor Blake Holland walked into the classroom.
"What are you all doing over there? Aren't you getting ready for class?"
At the sound of Professor Holland's voice, the students dispersed, revealing Matthew Atkinson sitting in the middle.
"Matthew?" Professor Holland seemed very surprised when he saw Matthew Atkinson.
"Why are you still in Class B?"
Upon hearing this question, Matthew Atkinson felt helpless and handed over his document.
"Professor, please see for yourself." He said.
Professor Holland took it, just glanced at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Then, Professor Holland frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What kind of nonsense is this? This is just unfair treatment! I'll go find them and ask them clearly!"
"Please don't!" Matthew quickly stopped Professor Holland and said, "Professor, forget it. I think it's fine for me to stay in Class B. I prefer studying with you rather than Class A."
Hearing this, Professor Holland said unhappily, "You like me not to care about your laziness, right?"
Matthew smiled cheerfully, which was considered his agreement.
After a moment's thought, Professor Holland understood the college management's plan.
This was obviously a deliberate attempt to separate Matthew Atkinson and Natalie Russell to prevent them from falling in love and affecting their daily training.
Even further ahead, the management team might even intend to change their minds subtly.
Thinking of this, Professor Holland sighed slightly.
In fact, he was not optimistic about Matthew Atkinson and Natalie Russell either.
The gap between their abilities was too big!
"Since you want to stay here, then stay here! But after expressing your desire to remain in my class, I will ensure you receive the same number of college points as a student in Class A. Otherwise, it won't be fair."
Professor Holland said, then walked back to the podium and started introducing himself.
"There are a lot of new students in the class. So first of all, let me introduce myself."
Professor Holland said, "My name is Blake Holland, and I am your head coach. From now on, I will be responsible for your daily training."
Then, Professor Holland asked the students to report their names and abilities again.
After all, there were already many new faces in the class, and he needed to understand the students' abilities so that he could provide targeted training.
All the good seedlings have been assigned to Class A. As a result, the students who stayed in Class B all had relatively ordinary talents and abilities.
However, Professor Holland did not give up.
His attitude remained the same as before, being serious and responsible towards his students.
After all students had reported their names and abilities, Professor Holland then asked, "Students, you haven't used the attribute points you obtained in the first layer of the supernatural realm yet, right?"
The students nodded.
"Good!" Professor Holland said, "Don't use your attribute points yet. After I gather your detailed information, I'll give you some suggestions on how to allocate your attribute points. You can refer to my suggestions and then allocate your attribute points appropriately."
"Of course, the suggestion I give is just an option. If you have a better idea, you don't have to adopt my suggestion."
The students nodded again.
Some of the newcomers were a little scared when they saw Professor Holland's stern look, but they found that this teacher seemed to be very easy to talk to.
Professor Holland talked about some more precautions, and the first class of the day ended here.
Training would begin in the afternoon.
The rest of the morning was left for students to arrange as they pleased.
After all, the classes have just been divided, so they need to give the students some time to get to know each other.
They didn't worry about forming a team because the classes are also divided based on the entire team's performance!
The only exception was Matthew.
Just as Matthew was about to return to his apartment, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Matthew!"
Matthew stopped and turned around to see Natalie.
"Which class were you assigned to?"
"Class B."
When the girl heard this, her pretty face suddenly darkened and became even colder.
She looked at Matthew and asked, "Matthew, did they communicate with you in advance about assigning you to Class B? Did you volunteer? Or did they decide on their own?"
Upon hearing this, Matthew knew that the girl was very dissatisfied with him being assigned to Class B!
Like Professor Holland, she also felt that he was treated unfairly.
Matthew thought for a moment and said truthfully, "I haven't been contacted... But it's okay this way. I heard that Professor Isabel Grant in your class is very strict and controlling. If I were to go to Class A, I'm afraid I would be uncomfortable."
"This is a completely irrelevant topic!"
Natalie Russell's pretty face was cold, her eyes filled with anger. "You can study in Class B if you want, but you can't let them treat you unfairly."
After she finished speaking, Natalie turned and left.
Judging from her direction, she seemed to be walking towards the management office building.
Matthew looked stunned.
"Am I... being protected by Natalie Russell?"
"Then what am I? Her kept man?"
