Just call me Thor

Today's exercise came to an end.

Everyone received a document containing some information about this summer camp. Mike held it in his hands, reading carefully.

According to the document, each new student would be paired with a senior student for one-on-one tutoring, and every four students would be assigned an assistant. It was evident that this summer camp was taken very seriously; not only had the officials put in a lot of effort, but the details were also very well handled.

At this moment, Cain was also excited, looking around eagerly to see which senior student would be guiding him.

Elena turned to Jessica and smiled, "I'll be in charge of your training during this period."

"Thank you, senior," Jessica responded.

"It's no trouble. After the summer camp, you might consider applying to the superpower universities in Washington. I know a professor there who specializes in summoning; he's quite good and is one of the top summoners in the Americas, especially skilled in training avian summoned beasts." Elena earnestly introduced, already starting to recruit talent for her school.

Knowing about Jessica's S-tier talent, Elena was certain that this young girl's future achievements would not be inferior to her own.

An S-tier talent, coupled with the dedicated training from a Battle Chief and Jessica's own personality, meant that as long as she survived, she was destined to become a Battle Chief, and perhaps even reach higher levels.

"I'll consider it," Jessica said, glancing at Mike. Clearly, where Mike decided to apply would influence her choice.

Elena noticed this but didn't press further. Instead, she called the three of them together, "Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory area. Your senior students are also waiting there.

Magic high school is in Zone C, and Elemental high school from your state is in Zone A. Normally, you can't move freely between zones; the summer camp's internal control is very strict. Minor infractions could lead to disqualification, and major ones could send you to the enforcement team!"

After giving them a brief warning, Elena continued, "But don't worry too much. With regular classes and life, plus senior guidance, you won't break any rules. Oh, and you'll have regular exchanges with Elemental high school once a week. The bottom 10% in the rankings will be eliminated."

Under Elena's guidance, the trio arrived at the so-called Zone C.

Mike also met the senior assigned to him—Kaelum Oakwood, a man with a gaunt face and bright eyes. Upon seeing Mike, he was overjoyed, coming up to shake hands enthusiastically.

"Mike, my junior, I've missed you so much!"

Mike looked puzzled, "Have we met before?"

"No!"

Kaelum shook his head vigorously, his face earnest, "But I know, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life!"

Mike: ???

Shadow Nine, wake up, there's a 'prophet' here, see if we need to erase his memory!

Kaelum's behavior left Mike very confused. Had his true identity been exposed?

"Kaelum, don't overdo it!" Elena couldn't stand it anymore and scolded coldly, "Is this how you treat your junior?!"

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just too happy," Kaelum raised his hands, apologizing repeatedly.

"Junior Mike, I meant no offense."

Elena briefly explained to Mike why Kaelum was so happy.

Mike tried to understand, sorting out the logic, "You mean, Kaelum's credits are linked to my final ranking in the summer camp?"

"Yes!"

"The worse I perform, the lower his credits."

"Yes!"

"Then why is he happy?"

Mike was even more puzzled. Kaelum came to one of America's top superpower universities, so he should value his credits highly. But why was he so happy about potentially low credits? Was it a badge of honor for him?

Kaelum cleared his throat, "Junior, you don't know, I'm only a freshman this year and I want to study at the superpower universities for a few more years. I've already failed four courses this semester. If I fail this summer camp course too, I can repeat the year!"

Cain, Mike: ???

"Wait, when you say repeat the year, you don't mean..."

Mike's expression changed slightly as he realized the reason!

Elena mercilessly exposed the truth, "He just wants to be in the same cohort as Thor, to catch the biggest wave of supreme power benefits."

Thor's emergence was known to everyone, though his true identity remained a mystery.

However, based on the growth trajectories of the previous three Supreme Beings, Thor was likely to enter a top superpower university, where the best resources could help him rapidly increase his strength.

"Being in the same cohort as a Supreme Being is a great honor, and of course, it comes with unexpected benefits."

Kaelum sighed, "Junior, you don't know, from the day Thor appeared, the superpower universities in New York and Washington have been in chaos!"

Both top superpower universities saw freshmen and sophomores start to take leaves of absence, suspend their studies, or even drop out to reapply!

Their goal was clear: by any means necessary, they wanted to become classmates with Thor!

Those who were usually hardworking students suddenly became slackers. Their assignments were as perfunctory as possible, they were late to classes or skipped them altogether.

Some shamelessly even bribed instructors with gold coins, all to make their grades worse and repeat the year to become Thor's classmates.

Even a veteran professor was so upset by this that he ended up in the hospital!

Studying hard? That was absolutely out of the question!

Doing everything possible to lower their credits and find ways to repeat the year was the only correct path!

Kaelum was one of them. Before coming to the summer camp, he had already failed four courses, and failing one more would allow him to repeat the year!

So, when Kaelum drew Mike, who had a D-tier talent, he saw it as a ticket to becoming Thor's classmate and was incredibly excited!

Who else in the entire summer camp had a talent worse than D-tier?

"Kaelum, I must remind you, don't be too happy too soon," Elena said coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Kaelum's attitude.

"Mike must last until the end of the training summer camp for you to earn credits. If Mike is eliminated early, you'll be assigned a new junior, and failing might not be so easy."

Kaelum nodded, "Indeed."

He looked at Mike with intense enthusiasm, "So, junior, for your senior to become Thor's classmate, you must try your hardest to last until the end of the summer camp!"

Mike: "...I'll do my best."

"No worries, junior, for my own future, I'll also spare no effort to support you!" Kaelum assured, patting his chest.

Where else would he find a D-tier talent if Mike were eliminated? If he were unlucky and got an S-tier talent junior, Kaelum's plan would be completely ruined!

As they were communicating, a burly man approached.

The man looked at Cain and said in a deep voice, "Anderson Tate, sophomore at New York superpower universities, heavy armored warrior."

"Hello, I, I'm Cain."

Looking at the slim Cain, Anderson frowned in dissatisfaction, "You're too thin, I feel like I could knock you flying with a stomp. How can there be such a weak Warrior!"

Saying this, Anderson took out a half-person-tall steak from his storage space and handed it to Cain.

"Your task today, eat this."

"If you can't finish, you're not allowed into the Tower of Truth."

"Oh my god—"

Cain gasped, beginning to doubt his life choices. How could he possibly finish such a huge steak!

"Do I have to eat this much every meal?"

"Meal? Who told you this is a meal, this is a late-night snack."

Just met, and Anderson had already taught Cain a lesson.

How is a good Warrior made?

It starts with learning to eat!

Anderson, who arrived the latest, was actually the first to get into the swing of things, already starting Cain's training.

Elena pulled Jessica away, and Kaelum also took Mike aside.

"Junior, your task this week is very difficult, be prepared."

Kaelum had already explained the rules of the summer camp.

Every week, there would be a designated task.

The better the task is completed, the higher the score received.

This score would determine the final combat test rankings.

Those with high scores could choose their opponents, while those with low scores could not refuse.

The final elimination list would be produced by combining the combat results and the weekly task scores!

"That means, to avoid elimination, you must complete this week's task well."

Kaelum analyzed seriously, "This way, you can raise your total score and gain the initiative in the final combat test!"

"Indeed." Mike couldn't help but be curious, "What's the task?"

He was very curious about the task Kaelum described as incredibly difficult.

Kaelum said solemnly, "Clear levels three, four, and five of the Tower of Truth. At the same time, obtain a piece of raw ore, with a minimum tier of D and weighing at least 10kg!"

Mike: ...

Levels three, four, five, and six. He had cleared them all in one go the night before.

As for the raw ore, that indeed was a problem.

In the Mysterious Mine, the worst tier was B. Where was he supposed to find D-tier raw ore?

After a long silence, Mike blurted out, "I really didn't expect... this week's task to be so difficult."

"Don't be afraid, junior," Kaelum patted Mike's shoulder, comforting him, "I'm here for everything, just focus on clearing the levels. If you have any trouble, just come to me!"

"Thank you, senior."

"No problem, who are we if not for each other? If I become classmates with Thor in the future, I will never forget your contribution! Come on, I'll treat you to a late-night snack!"
