He only thought that position was better; it was convenient to look at the greenery outside the window whenever his eyes grew tired.

This helped relax his eyes and prevented nearsightedness. Having been nearsighted in his past life, he paid close attention to such matters.

Other than that, he really had no other thoughts.

"Of course, that's just a trope from the Genius Genre that's been popular in recent years. Before that, the Zero-to-Hero Genre was more prevalent. If you look at it through the lens of the Zero-to-Hero Genre, then Bai Xuan is set up to be the big villain."

"So, everyone, wake up. Where in the real world would you find a protagonist?"

"When you think of a protagonist, think about the heroine first. Do you think there is a woman in reality as perfect as those described in novels?"

"If there were, she would have been famous long ago."

In any case, he didn't believe in protagonists; those were just things found in novels.

Reality was reality, and the Dragon Squad he imagined was based only on a possibility.

Hearing Zhang Weiyang's words, the others patted their faces to snap out of it. The pressure of their senior year combined with the awakening of their Superpowers had indeed made their thinking a bit irrational.

There is no such thing as a protagonist in reality, or perhaps, everyone has the potential to become one.

Rather than wallowing in fantasy, it is better to strive and struggle.

Afterward, the group began discussing other matters, though they still used their abilities from time to time, whether to increase their proficiency or to show off to the students by the window.

Bai Xuan shrugged and began to study his own abilities—or, to be precise, the template the Chat Group had created for him.

[Name: Bai Xuan] [Talent: Son of Nature. Favored by the world, you possess the ability to control nature. All creations belonging to nature are within your domain.] [Elemental Resistance: You have 100% resistance to elements. No elemental attacks can cause you harm.] [Natural Bonus: Your strength increases under weather conditions such as sunny days, rain, night, Dawn, and strong winds.] [Elemental Mastery: You can freely use the elements that exist in the natural world.] [Note: 1. Possessing the Nature Authority and favored by the Earth Consciousness, you possess incredible power on Earth. In special circumstances, you may abandon materialism and choose idealism.] [Note: 2. To a certain extent, you are no different from Reinhard from the Re:Zero world.]

Could he understand it? Bai Xuan certainly couldn't.

The talent and abilities were understandable, but that note was truly incomprehensible.

What did it mean to abandon materialism and choose idealism in special circumstances? It should have told him what those special circumstances were and how to be "idealistic."

Bai Xuan complained slightly in his heart, though the second note was somewhat interesting, claiming he was no different from Reinhard.

That guy who possessed the Divine Protection of Divine Protection and could even acquire new ones later—how could he compare to him?

The author had basically written Reinhard as if he were a god.

Just as he was waiting for registration while studying the Chat Group's notes, the sound of the Chat Group suddenly rang in his ears.

"Ding, detected that the Chat Group's activity level has reached Level 1. Group functions enabled."

"Ding, Group Check-in enabled, Group Lottery enabled, Group Pawn enabled."

Huh? The activity level was full?

Was it that fast? It seemed he had only joined the Chat Group a day ago.

He guessed it had accumulated quite a bit before, just enough to meet the requirement; after all, it had only reached Level 1.

Filled with a bit of anticipation, Bai Xuan opened the introductions for the three functions.

[Group Check-in Introduction: Daily check-ins grant 1-10 Points. Points can be used in the Group Lottery.] [Group Lottery Introduction: Lottery items are random and include all items from the members' worlds. Each draw costs 1,000 Points.] [Group Pawn Introduction: The pawn function includes permanent and temporary pawns. Different values yield different amounts of Points.] [Note: When pawning an intelligent creature, the creature must not possess a resistant consciousness.] [Note: Temporary pawned items not redeemed within the specified time automatically enter the Group Lottery pool.]

Ordinary Group Owner: "Good grief, I thought we needed ten people to unlock new functions. I didn't expect it to happen just by reaching the activity level."

Ordinary Group Owner: "Why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known, I would have spammed the chat every day."

Su Yunqing puffed out her cheeks. This was different from the chat groups she had seen in her past life.

Moreover, this Chat Group wasn't thoughtful at all; it didn't tell the Group Owner anything.

Aside from a 30% Off Discount, she didn't have any abilities at all.

Wait, could this 30% Off Discount be used for the lottery? And why wasn't the Group Mall function enabled this time!!!

"Ding, detected the Group Owner's confusion. This discount privilege can be used by the host in the Group Lottery function."

"That's more like it."

Hearing the Chat Group's response, Su Yunqing nodded in satisfaction.

That Is How It Is Meow: "A lottery, meow? Meowth's luck isn't very good, meow."

After seeing the Memory Copy, it sincerely felt that its luck wasn't very good.

Worst Spirit: "We don't even have any Points. Isn't it a bit too early to be thinking about a Lucky Draw?"

Son of Nature: "I see I have one Lucky Draw chance. Do you guys have one?"

Be My Son: "Gurararara, the old man has one chance as well."

Ordinary Group Owner: "Group member benefits? Fantastic! Whether I live or die depends on this draw!"

Ordinary Group Owner: "Heaven bless me, give me a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. I'm not asking for much, Kaido's Azure Dragon will do."

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "You call that not asking for much? Mythical Zoan fruits are incredibly rare."

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "I'm different. A Logia Glint-Glint Fruit would be fine. It would be a perfect match for my Tiga!"

Worst Spirit: "Speaking of Tiga, hasn't the plot started on your end yet?"

Kurumi Tokisaki asked with some curiosity.

She was very curious about Daigo's world, and the power of Ultraman had made her realize the strength of the Giant of Light race.

If she possessed such power, then even the First Spirit... well, she would still be a bit inferior.

Besides, she knew deep down that she had no possibility of becoming light.

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "Not yet."

For Daigo, it wouldn't be a bad thing if things stayed peaceful like this forever; no Tiga, no monsters, everything was just so wonderful.

Even if he didn't have the power of Tiga, what did it matter?

Uchiha Dance King: "Hmph, although the power of Ultraman is strong, it is ultimately just an external force."

Uchiha Dance King: "Power that can only be maintained for three minutes is better off without."

Uchiha Dance King: "Compared to the power of Ultraman, you should focus more on yourself. With your crude combat skills and weak physical constitution, you would still be a weakling even if you possessed great power."

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "Stop scolding me, please! I'm already working on it."

Boil Daigo Into Soup: "I've been working out and practicing combat lately. It definitely won't be like it was in the Memory Copy."

Uchiha Dance King: "I hope so."
