Annihilated the Entire Venue!

[Self-Destruct!]

[Description: Buu's current ultimate skill. Deals massive damage to all targets within range (including allies), achieving a mutual destruction goal!]

"No!!"

Lin Xia stared at the skill description, visible only to him, and frantically extended his hand, aiming his palm at Buu, who had expanded to his limit. His face was a mask of bewilderment!

He had never expected Buu to use Self-Destruct!

When Lin Xia first obtained Buu, he had focused on the [Chocolateification] skill.

He had completely ignored Buu's second skill, [Self-Destruct].

Because Lin Xia had no intention of using this skill, which harmed the enemy as much as oneself, unless absolutely necessary!

But who knew Buu would choose to self-destruct on his own!?

However, Lin Xia quickly realized that Buu's thought process was inherently strange, so a sudden, inexplicable self-destruction... was understandable!

Because... Buu could regenerate his body using his residual cells!!

But what about Lin Xia!?

He couldn't reconstruct himself!

"You... what are you doing!"

Zhu Tingyu's throat bobbed as she shifted her gaze from Buu, staring at Lin Xia in disbelief.

"Holy crap, what a familiar move!"

Xu Jian, sitting in the corner, kept his chubby hand in the chip bag for a long time, his eyes wide open.

"Is this kid crazy!?"

The teachers on the high platform were also astonished.

Wu Ziyang even pulled at his hair, full of confusion.

The students on the field, drawn by the huge noise behind them, turned their heads to look.

But before they could get a clear look at Buu's body.

"Boom--!"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a dazzling red light rapidly expanded, instantly engulfing the entire space, making it impossible to open one's eyes!

And the sudden, scorching heat caused everyone to cry out in pain!

The next second, when the students opened their eyes again.

They were surprised to find themselves on the high platform!

"Holy crap!?"

"Where did they send me?!"

The students looked at each other, full of confusion and shock.

They didn't understand how they had been eliminated just a moment ago while dueling on the field!

"Oh my god, look, there's still someone on the field!"

Someone's exclamation.

Caused everyone to turn their gaze to the field in unison.

They saw a pink, mud-like substance—like play-doh—gradually solidifying into a figure!

"Who is that, not eliminated?"

"Wait, don't you think... this thing... looks a little familiar?"

As everyone held their breath, Buu's figure slowly emerged!

"Yippee! I won!"

Fat Buu put his hands on his hips, let out a silly laugh, and streams of air shot out from the top of his head.

"Isn't this Lin Xia's summon card!?"

As a cold, angry voice rang out.

Everyone, like specters from the underworld, turned their chilling gazes towards Lin Xia.

"This... this was truly an accident!"

Lin Xia quickly turned the Buu on the field back into a card and put it away.

Then he stammered, not knowing how to explain.

He could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.

[Vegeta's Favorability +50%!]

Lin Xia: "??!"

"No... Vegeta, do you think this is fun?"

Just because you've self-destructed before, you... have a favorable impression of this behavior!?

It even increased by 50% in an instant!

Lin Xia couldn't be happy at all right now.

Because he noticed that Zhu Tingyu was crossing her arms, and Liu Yucheng was gritting his back molars, both of them staring intently at him!

Fortunately, the suffocating atmosphere didn't last long before Director Xie Feng came out to save the day.

"Cough cough... Students, listen to me..."

Xie Feng began his speech, trying to shift the students' attention away from Lin Xia.

Although he was also shocked by Buou's power.

He could also tell that Lin Xia hadn't done it on purpose, and had even caused the spectacular scene of blowing up the entire venue completely unknowingly!

As for the other three teachers, they stared at Lin Xia with ashen faces.

The male teacher's mouth hung open blankly, while the female teacher covered her mouth to maintain her image.

But their faces were filled with disbelief and shock!

In the many years since Imperial University was founded, this was the first time in the freshman competition that one person had instantly defeated everyone else!

This was definitely a historic moment to be recorded in the school's history!

"Am I dreaming?"

The female teacher pinched her thigh.

"Ah--!"

The male teacher cried out in pain and looked at the female teacher with utter confusion, "Whether you're dreaming or not, why are you pinching my thigh!"

"Does it hurt?"

"Of course it hurts, you idiot!"

"Then it seems I'm not dreaming!"

A smile appeared on the female teacher's face, and she looked at Lin Xia with the eyes of someone who had found a treasure.

At the same time, Director Xie Feng had reached the crux of the matter.

"...Regardless, we will still assign classes according to the order of elimination. This is an unchanging rule of our school, passed down since ancient times!"

As soon as Xie Feng finished speaking.

There was an uproar in the crowd.

It could be said that the students' emotions were polarized.

The students who were far from the explosion point were overjoyed, jumping and skipping without any pretense.

While those who were close to the explosion point looked at Lin Xia again like vengeful demons.

Among them, Zhu Tingyu and Liu Yucheng harbored the most resentment.

On the other hand, Xu Jian (Fatty) gave Lin Xia a thumbs-up with a look of admiration.

Wu Ziyang was the same, a smile appeared on his face, and his previous sense of loss dissipated by more than half.

Because as long as he could stay in the same class as Lin Xia, his chances of completing the mission would naturally increase.

...Ten minutes later.

Everyone finally knew that the four teachers observing from the high platform were the homeroom teachers of the four classes!

Therefore, according to the order of elimination, the students lined up in front of their respective homeroom teachers.

The only female teacher present was the homeroom teacher of Class 4, which had the worst resources.

And at this moment, her face was no longer as cold as in previous years, but filled with happiness and excitement.

The female teacher's gaze was filled with admiration as she began to look at each student in front of her.

Liu Yucheng - S!

Xu Jian - S!

Wu Ziyang - SR!

Zhu Tingyu - SSR!

Lin Xia - SSR!

"The five strongest freshmen of this session are all in our class!!"

The female teacher nudged her colleague with her arm, raising her eyebrows smugly.

"Tch, you got lucky!"

The male teacher rolled his eyes, but then a look of envy appeared on his face.

Especially when he saw Lin Xia, his gaze lingered for a long time, unwilling to look away.

In the time that followed, the various homeroom teachers began to announce the tasks for the next phase.

"Tomorrow morning will be theory classes, and in the afternoon, we will take you to the Secret Realm...

So, everyone should do your best to raise your rank as much as possible.

If anyone can reach the Bronze rank by the second day of school, before entering the Secret Realm, the school has a reward!

Of course, in all the years since the school was founded, this reward has never been claimed by anyone!

The teachers hope that someone among you can achieve this feat!"

As the female teacher spoke, she swept her gaze across the faces of several prodigies, finally letting her eyes rest on Lin Xia's face.
