Chapter 2147: We Misjudged the Chief Instructor

Right in the middle of the open ground, a red?haired man was standing there, grinning, his teeth at least were pretty white.

"I’m gonna start now, you guys be careful."

Three Water Special Ability Users stepped forward and surrounded him.

"Don’t stand too close, if you get burned I’m not taking responsibility!" The red?haired guy shooed them back a bit.

He did one of those flashy TV?drama hand moves.

Like without this whole magical routine, he just couldn’t make fire.

"Can you stop clowning around?" one Water Special Ability User complained.

The red?haired guy glared at him: "This is called a sense of ritual! We’re Superpower Users now, we’ve gotta have some moves, right? Look at the mages in movies, which one doesn’t have a magic wand or something to get that ritual vibe going?"

"Yeah yeah, just hurry up."

The red?haired guy yelled, "Ha!"

"I’m speechless..." The Water Special Ability User rubbed his forehead.

Whoosh— a streak of fire shot out from the red?haired guy’s palm and hit the ground. They’d thought it would fizzle out on its own, but the fire actually burned on the ground, and the flames even seemed to grow with the wind.

Jin Hancheng shouted, "Water! What are you standing there for?!"

The three Water Special Ability Users finally snapped out of it and all sprayed water in unison—one through his nostrils, one from his fingertips, and one straight from his mouth.

After the three of them worked their asses off, the fire finally went out.

The three exchanged looks; they’d all noticed each other’s Water Special Ability had changed.

All three were Water Special Ability Users and had a basic grasp of each other’s strength, but today their water—whether in speed or volume—had improved dramatically.

The Fire Ability Users who knew the red?haired guy crowded over, peppering him with questions: "What miracle pill did you take, brat? You used to make these tiny sparks, how come you can conjure a huge blob of fire now?"

"The scariest thing is your fire gets bigger the more the wind blows! Out in the wild, that’s basically a disaster waiting to happen!"

"It took three Water Special Ability Users working together just to put your fire out, that’s insane!"

The red?haired guy spread his hands, staring blankly at his palms. Same hands as always, the lines on his palms hadn’t changed, so how the hell did his fire get stronger?

"I’ve only been here two days, and both days were just running and physical training. I didn’t take any drugs... could it really be related to the physical training?"

After he said that, everyone started to believe it a bit.

"It really might be tied to the physical training."

"We’re just working out our bodies, how come our Special Abilities level up too?"

"Is there some inevitable link between Special Ability and physical fitness?"

"There’s no such record in H Country."

"Buddy, our country barely has any Superpower Users to begin with, and all awakenings happened only after Spiritual Energy recovery. We don’t have the deep foundation Hua Country has; they had Superpower Users awakening way earlier, so of course they know more about Special Abilities than we do!"

"Looks like... the Chief instructor wasn’t trying to mess with us on purpose."

"We misunderstood the Chief instructor."

"The Chief instructor won’t be mad, right?"

"Probably... not?"

"Tomorrow, let’s apologize, yeah?"

"We should apologize; our attitude before was pretty crap. If Brother Cheng weren’t the squad leader, none of us would’ve wanted to cooperate."

"Actually the Chief instructor’s pretty sharp. She saw that we’re all scared of Brother Cheng."

"I used to think she made Brother Cheng squad leader because of his family background, but now I get it. Out of all of us, he’s the one most willing to cooperate, the one who chose to trust her unconditionally and can talk us into behaving."

Someone raised his hand and weakly said, "Even though I know boosting my physical fitness can boost my Special Ability, I... really can’t handle the hardship..." He plopped down on the ground. "It’s only been two days and my legs already don’t feel like my legs anymore."
