Li Yu started explaining things his classmates didn't understand first thing in the morning. When Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita arrived in the classroom, they couldn't help but pause in surprise.
But after hearing what Li Yu was explaining to everyone, they understood. Their classmates were asking him questions.
When their classmates saw the two girls arrive, they very considerately made room for them to get to their seats. Then they continued listening as Li Yu explained the difficult points in their studies.
It wasn't until class began that everyone stopped talking and returned to their seats. Having a top student in the class really did make studying a lot easier.
This time, Li Yu had cleared up many of their questions, giving them more confidence about what they needed to do next. There were still only a handful of students in the class who had reached the third tier.
Li Yu, Yukino, Kato Megumi, Asuna, and a few other classmates were the only ones who had broken through to the third tier. Most of the others were still stuck at this level.
The questions everyone had asked Li Yu were mainly about refining True Qi. Although their teachers had already covered it, many of them had only half-understood the material and hadn't grasped it completely.
Now that Li Yu had explained it, a lot of things had become clearer. Before long, many students in the class would probably break through in droves.
The bell rang, and their homeroom teacher, Zhang Li, walked in. The first thing she did was check whether everyone was there.
Only after confirming that the whole class was present did she speak. "I have an announcement. Starting next Monday, students who have reached the third tier or above will enter the Dimensional Rift to explore."
Her words caused an uproar in the classroom. No one had expected their homeroom teacher to bring them news like this. Go into a Dimensional Rift? Was she serious?
"Quiet! Let me finish!" Seeing the class grow noisy, their homeroom teacher quickly rapped on her desk to settle everyone down. It worked remarkably well.
Once the classroom had quieted down again, their homeroom teacher continued. "This is a privilege reserved for our Special Class. The Dimensional Rift that appeared in the city some time ago has been explored."
Zhang Li began explaining the Dimensional Rift. It was a Dungeon that continuously spawned monsters, making it a fairly good place for practical training.
People from the city had already explored many of its floors, and they were quite safe. The students in their Special Class had the opportunity to go inside and train.
However, they could only venture through the first ten floors. Those floors were well suited for people between the third and fourth tiers, which was why the school planned to send the Special Class there.
As Li Yu listened to the teacher, he felt a little strange. A Dungeon that spawned monsters on its own? Wasn't this just Orario? Those monsters they had encountered before...
At that moment, everything clicked for Li Yu. This Dimensional Rift belonged to the world of Orario, and according to what he knew...
A Dimensional Rift would eventually become a complete world. In other words, that rift would one day connect with their world?
Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help raising his hand. Zhang Li looked at him curiously. "Li Yu, do you have a question?"
She had a very favorable impression of Li Yu. He had made her proud, especially since she had heard that he was helping his classmates with their studies.
Having a student with such a gift for learning was wonderful. As his homeroom teacher, she naturally liked students like him, so when Li Yu had a question, she answered him kindly.
"Teacher, I'd like to ask how long it usually takes for a Dimensional Rift to form a world after it appears." Li Yu asked the question that had been on his mind.
Hearing this, Zhang Li looked at him with some amusement. "That's not something you need to worry about, but there's no harm in answering you."
As she spoke, she slowly explained how it worked. In reality, the moment a Dimensional Rift appeared, the worlds had already begun to connect.
Moreover, the higher-ups on their side had already sent people over to negotiate. As for how long it would take for the worlds to fully connect, that depended on how advanced the other world was.
The more advanced the world, the slower the connection. The Dimensional Rift was only a projection of certain parts of that world, so for now, they wouldn't come into contact with its people.
Of course, there were exceptions. For instance, someone from the other side might fall into the Dimensional Rift and end up in their world. If they encountered someone like that, citizens were obligated to report it immediately.
After hearing Zhang Li's explanation, Li Yu understood. He had learned something new. If that was how it worked, then it would probably take a while for the other world to fully connect with theirs.
Other people might not know, but Li Yu did. That world had gods. Although those guys had sealed themselves away and the world's rules didn't allow them to use Divine Power freely...
Who knew what might happen? Now that the two worlds were about to connect, they'd be sure to use their Divine Power. Still, there wasn't much to worry about.
After all, most of the gods over there were troublemakers. They might even be eager for the worlds to connect so they could come to this one and have some fun.
"That's about it. Does anyone else have any questions?" After explaining things to Li Yu, their homeroom teacher couldn't help asking the class.
Li Yu shook his head. He had no more questions. Zhang Li nodded, then continued speaking to the class. "Tomorrow is the weekend. I hope you'll make the most of your time. Only students who reach the third tier will be able to go this time, so it's a rare opportunity. Don't miss it."
Hearing Zhang Li's words, everyone felt immense pressure. They had to break through within the next two days? It looked like they'd have to work harder.
As their homeroom teacher had said, it was a rare opportunity. Going over there to fight monsters would not only give them valuable training, but could even earn them Magic Stones. Who would want to miss out on something like that?
"All right, you can discuss it among yourselves now. Use the weekend to get ready. Prepare your weapons, equipment, potions, and everything else you'll need. On Monday, the school will take everyone who has reached the third tier. You're dismissed for self-study!" After saying this, Zhang Li left.
She left the students, who were bursting with things to say, to discuss it among themselves. Their formal magic class would begin next period.
After she left, the classroom immediately grew lively. Asuna, who was sitting behind Li Yu, turned to him and asked, "The monsters we took down before must have come from that Dimensional Rift, right?"
Hearing Asuna's question, Li Yu nodded. "Maybe they all came from the first floor. If so, those Goblins and the others were weak, but that Minotaur must have come from much deeper inside."
