[Announcement! The Supernatural Team of "Matthew Atkinson" and "Natalie Russell" has killed 1,507 monsters in the second layer of the supernatural realm. Their outstanding performance has earned them a perfect mission grade of SSS!]
The super announcement from Supernatural has appeared again!
All students worldwide who participated in the second layer of the supernatural realm and returned alive saw this announcement.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then, an uproar ensued!
"Damn it! Someone else got an SSS-grade perfect rating?"
"These two names sound so familiar, Russel? Atkinson?... Damn it! Why is it them again?"
"Those monsters were horrible, and they actually killed 1507 of them? Oh my God! How did they do that?"
"They've already gotten SSS-grade perfect mission ratings twice in a row, haven't they? Unbelievable!"
"Fuck! These two bastards have stolen all the limelight. We're going to have to live in their shadow now."
"They are fortunate, but I don't believe there will be a third time."
"Hey! Buddy! Once is luck, but twice in a row only proves they're powerful, especially that Russell..."
...
A large number of freshmen around the world were discussing it on their campus's training grounds.
Many students were even very dissatisfied with Matthew and Natalie's dominance in the rankings!
Hearing the students' shouts and curses, the teaching staff were initially bewildered but quickly realized what had happened.
The staff then immediately reported the situation.
The message was passed up the chain of command, eventually alarming many bigwigs.
As some students have said, getting an SSS-grade mission rating once might be a matter of luck, but getting such incredible mission ratings twice in a row is definitely not something that could be explained by luck.
More and more influential figures around the world started to pay attention to this matter.
Information about Matthew Atkinson and Natalie Russell was also placed on the desks of many bigwigs.
...
Matthew Atkinson & Natalie Russell
Oxford, United Kingdom
The University of Oxford, Training Grounds
Present time.
On the University of Oxford training ground, upon seeing the announcement, all the students turned their heads in unison, their eyes fixed on Matthew and Natalie.
And everyone's face was filled with shock!
"What's wrong with you?"
Noticing the students' unusual behavior, Professor Grant asked them a question.
"Could it be..." She seemed to have thought of something, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.
Then, she went up to Natalie and hurriedly asked, "Natalie, have you received your mission rewards yet?"
Natalie nodded calmly.
"Can I... can I take a look?" Professor Grant actually used a requesting tone when speaking to a student.
"Sure!" Natalie said.
Professor Grant, no matter how strict she was, treated her quite well, so she respected her.
Upon hearing this, Professor Grant immediately reached out her hand. However, instead of pressing Natalie's forehead, she took Natalie's hand.
Those with supernatural abilities could read each other's results from their supernatural realm mission simply by touching each other.
Of course, this was only possible if the other party agreed.
Soon, Professor Grant's expression turned to surprise.
Then, in an unusually excited tone, she read out Natalie's results.
"Natalie Russell, Matthew Atkison!"
"Killed Monsters: 1507"
"Comprehensive Grade: SSS (First Historical Case)!"
"Overall Ranking: 1st."
"Historical Ranking: 1st."
"Obtained Basic Reward: 300 Attribute Points (Capped)."
"Obtained Additional Reward: 100 Attribute Points (Capped and Divided Equally Among Team Members)."
"Achievement Reward for a Perfect Mission Evaluation: One Extraordinary Treasure Chest (Reward belongs to the main contributor and will be distributed upon entering the next layer of the Supernatural realm)."
...
Their mission result panel and rewards are almost identical to their first-layer mission result panel and rewards.
Despite everyone being prepared, they were still filled with envy when they heard Professor Grant mention these rewards.
If Matthew and Natalie split this reward equally, each of them would receive 350 attribute points.
In addition to the 350 attribute points obtained from the first layer of the supernatural realm, even Matthew's total attributes were now over 700.
He could easily overwhelm all the freshmen present with that kind of power, except for Natalie.
With 700 total attribute points, even a useless person could be transformed into a strong freshman.
If those opportunities could be given to them, they could instantly become one of the top students!
Although everyone was envious, no one was talking on the training ground.
Because they hadn't thought highly of Natalie and Matthew before, anything they said now would be a slap in their own face.
Only the faces of the teaching and university staff members were filled with amazement, gathered together, and talked...
That concluded the data gathering. All students' grades have been tallied.
A team leader from the management department came to the students and said, "You've all worked hard. The university has prepared a sumptuous lunch for you. You can go back to your dorms to take a shower and change your clothes first. Then go to the cafeteria for lunch. After lunch, you can have a good rest in the afternoon."
The team leader was very excited and ran away after saying that.
He likely wanted to report Natalie and Matthew's grades to the vice principal as soon as possible.
The students dispersed one after another.
The staff member was right, everyone really needed to take a shower and change their clothes.
Many students' clothes were tattered and torn.
Then Professor Grant took Natalie away.
Professor Holland then came to Matthew's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"You did well!!"
He always believed that the two children's outstanding performance in the supernatural realm was definitely not entirely due to Natalie.
Perhaps his student contributed a lot as well.
Matthew smiled at Professor Holland's praise.
"I remember you live off campus, right? Hurry and change your clothes. Remember to come to the cafeteria for lunch later. The university has gone to great lengths to make sure you have a good meal today," Professor Holland said with a smile.
Matthew nodded. "Okay, I'll come over later."
"Go!"
Matthew then left the campus and headed towards his apartment.
He was definitely safe off campus at the moment.
Even if Magneto, Ethan Smith, wanted to avenge his daughter, he wouldn't be able to act this quickly.
Back at his apartment, Matthew first took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then opened his attribute panel.
.........
Race: Human
Constitution: 610 (↑110)
Mental: 191 (↑33)
Strength: 610 (↑110)
Agility: 610 (↑110)
Ability: Kryptonian Bloodline [Stell Body (3)]
Skills: Fist Impact
Attribute Points: 700
.........
Seeing his attributes, Matthew was very satisfied!
After that, he left his apartment and headed towards the campus to enjoy the lunch prepared by the school.
...
On Natalie's side, Professor Grant was chatting with her at the moment.
She now attached extreme importance to this student!
After all, Natalie received a perfect SSS grade twice in a row now!
This was enough to allow Natalie's potential to reach an unprecedented level.
"Hey? Natalie, your necklace..."
Professor Grant finally noticed that Natalie had a new necklace around her neck and that it was faintly emitting energy fluctuations.
"I remember you weren't wearing any necklace before you went to the second layer of the supernatural realm. Is that a supernatural item?"
"Yes." Natalie nodded and said.
Professor Grant immediately looked enlightened. "I know. This is the reward from the extraordinary treasure chest. Your SSS grade reward from the first layer of the supernatural realm, right? The reward was for the main force... Sure enough, you are the main force."
At this point, Professor Grant laughed and said, "There were some people online who speculated that Matthew Atkinson might have something special about him, and that you were able to get an SSS-grade rating entirely because of him. How ridiculous!"
Natalie: "..."
