I just became a mage, and my skills have become supernatural? What the heck?

Kyoto.

As the political and cultural center of the Dragon Kingdom, its prosperity far surpasses that of Jianghai City.

Lin Mo and his friends took a taxi to Kyoto University.

What comes into view is a magnificent and imposing school gate.

The school gate is tens of meters high.

The stone pillars on both sides are carved with lifelike dragons, their heads raised high, as if they are about to break through the wall and soar into the sky.

Above the school gate, the four large, gilded characters "Kyoto University" are written in a bold, flowing style, exuding an aura of power.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's several times bigger than the entrances of some shopping malls in Shanghai!"

Han Mengqing opened her mouth wide and gestured, "I feel like an ant."

Han Mengyao stood to the side, glanced at her younger sister, and said, "That's to teach you respect. Also, don't act like you've never seen the world before; it's embarrassing."

"Tch, it's always been big."

Han Mengqing pursed her lips.

Lin Mo straightened his collar and stepped forward:

"Let's go in and take a look."

The four of them walked towards the school gate.

At this time, most freshmen are still on summer vacation, and the huge school gate appears somewhat deserted.

Several security guards were on duty, scanning the surroundings.

When their gaze swept over Lin Mo and his companions as they approached, their eyes focused on their chests.

A golden dragon coils around the sword's edge, and four badges gleam in the sunlight.

Without any hesitation, the lead security guard pressed the controller in his hand.

The gate slowly opened to both sides.

Han Mengqing raised her chin and swaggered inside, waving with a grin as she passed the gatekeeper.

"Thanks, uncle! Standing guard in this heat, you must be exhausted!"

Chu Lingxuan walked quickly past with her head down, whispering:

"Thank you, I appreciate your help."

Han Mengyao kept her eyes straight ahead and nodded slightly.

Lin Mo walked last, smiling at the gatekeeper:

Thanks.

Passing through the school gate.

On a lawn not far away, a beautifully decorated sunshade stands all by itself.

A banner hung above it that read, "New Student Reception Area for the Dragon Order Class".

Under the shed sat a long-haired girl, idly scrolling through her phone.

Hearing the noise, the girl looked up and immediately went to greet her.

"Hello everyone! I've finally waited for you."

The girl smiled and gracefully extended her hand:

"I am Gu Qingge, a sophomore at Kyoto University, and I am in charge of receiving your class of Dragon Order students."

Welcome to Kyoto University!

"Hello, senior! I'm Han Mengqing!"

Han Mengqing, in a very familiar manner, shook hands with her senior, "Your skin is so nice, what brand of skincare products do you use?"

Gu Qingge was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, I'll recommend it to you later."

After the other three introduced themselves, Gu Qingge's gaze fell on Lin Mo.

"Wow, you're the number one on the leaderboard! I never expected you to be so handsome in person."

"Our group chat is in an uproar! Everyone's so curious—how could a completely unskilled mage possibly overpower everyone else!"

Lin Mo shrugged and laughed, "Senior, you flatter me. I am indeed handsome, but as for being number one on the list... well, I was just lucky."

"Pfft."

Gu Qingge covered her mouth and chuckled, "Alright, let me take you to the dormitory area first, and we can talk as we walk."

……

Kyoto University has a very large campus.

As Gu Qingge walked, she enthusiastically introduced the various activities:

"The building on the left is the library, which contains almost all the history, skill guides, dungeon guides, and monster guides from the Great Cataclysm to the present."

"That's a technology lab over there."

"This is our first canteen. I heard they have a new chef, and his cooking is absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing about food, Han Mengqing's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded frantically as she took notes.

After passing through a teaching area, the group arrived at a huge square.

In the center of the square stands a human-shaped statue that is ten meters tall.

It was an old man, holding a staff, gazing intently into the distance.

Gu Qingge stopped and looked up at the statue, her eyes filled with reverence:

"This is Zhang Wuyai, the legendary magic god of our Dragon Kingdom."

"He was the first and only tri-elemental mage in history, leading the Dragon Kingdom out of the Dark Ages with his terrifying power in fire, wind, and water..."

Lin Mo followed Gu Qingge's gaze.

On the base of the statue, there is a line of large characters.

With my blood and flesh, I will forge the backbone of the Dragon Kingdom. With my strength, I will protect the eternal prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered slightly.

A heavy feeling washed over me.

Han Mengqing pursed her lips.

"A three-elemental mage? Pshaw, our Boss Lin Mo also has three..."

"Ughh ...

Before she could finish speaking, Han Mengyao covered her mouth.

"What?"

Gu Qingge turned around with some confusion.

"It's nothing."

Han Mengyao smiled faintly, "Lin Mo hasn't showered for three days. Let's go to the dormitory quickly."

Lin Mo: "..."

That's being way too cautious.

He didn't think it was necessary.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, concealing one's abilities is certainly a form of survival wisdom.

But most of the time, showing your talent can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, Lin Mo didn't intend to expose him; he'd just let things take their course.

Gu Qingge didn't ask any further questions.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she smiled and said:

"By the way, students from the Dragon Order Class, please go easy on them in a few days~"

"Um?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Hold back? What do you mean?"

Gu Qingge blinked. "Don't you know? This is a long-standing tradition at Kyoto University."

"Every year when the new students in the Longxu Class start the semester, they have to have a 'friendly melee' with us second-year students from the regular classes."

"A free-for-all?"

Upon hearing this, Han Mengqing frowned. "We only have 20 people. You're all in your second year, so there must be at least a thousand of you. This is so unfair!"

Gu Qingge smiled and shook her head, "No, no, we won't send all of them. We'll select the best of the best, picking two hundred people to practice with you..."

"Taking away the young master?!"

Han Mengqing's eyes widened. "Two hundred people? Each of us has to fight ten of you on average?"

Lin Mo glanced at Gu Qingge and cast a detection spell on her.

Goodness, level 31.

They want 20 of them to fight against 200 senior students around level 30?

This old tradition is truly outrageous.

Gu Qingge said matter-of-factly:

"You guys are from the Dragon Order Class! You're the nation's top geniuses, monsters among monsters."

"If the numbers were equal, how could we fight? Besides, this is also to test your ability to withstand pressure in actual combat."

Han Mengqing was so angry that her cheeks puffed up:

"That's an excuse! That's absolutely an excuse! You just want to bully the freshmen!"

Han Mengyao frowned slightly and said calmly:

"Senior, if I remember correctly, since this tradition was established, it seems that the freshmen of the Dragon Order Class have never won, right?"

Chu Lingxuan's face turned pale, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Not a single win? That's terrible?"

Han Mengyao nodded:

"After all, the difference in numbers is there, and even the most talented person will find it difficult to bridge that gap."

Hearing this, Gu Qingge smiled and said:

"Junior Han understands this very well."

"Indeed, you've never won before, but this year's team is different..."

"Your class has SSS-level space traveler Ye Kong, light-elemental Chu Lingxuan... and this mysterious big shot Lin Mo."

"Perhaps history will be rewritten in your hands?"

Gu Qingge winked playfully, clasped her hands together, and said in a feignedly weak manner:

"So please, please, go easy on me. Getting hit hurts a lot, you know~ I'm super afraid of pain."

Although Gu Qingge said she would go easy on him, Lin Mo could clearly sense that there wasn't much real concern in her tone.

That confidence was built on an absolute numerical advantage and historical experience.

The so-called "rewriting history" is nothing more than a polite compliment.

Lin Mo smiled and changed the subject:

"Senior, haven't we arrived at the dorm yet?"

"Ah, we're here!"

Gu Qingge pointed ahead, "We'll arrive once we pass through this forest."

As they spoke, the group arrived at a secluded area nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

The uniquely designed detached villas are scattered at the foot of the mountain in a well-organized manner.

"We've arrived. This is your dormitory area."

Gu Qingge pointed to the villa complex in front of her, a hint of envy in her eyes:

"It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others; we ordinary students have to squeeze four people into one apartment."

"You guys are doing great, each of you owns a huge villa..."

"The villas were allocated according to the list of serial numbers, and the house number represents the serial number."

at this time,

A figure walked over from a distance.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Gu Qingge quickly and respectfully greeted them:

"Teacher Xu, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo turned to look.

Teacher Xu?

It seems to be Xu Wenchang, the old classmate of his father who was an admissions officer.
