I am the God of Technology



Dante had never felt so much anger in his life, and he was not sure he ever would. However, he was far from the only one who would experience this today, and Andrais was going to make sure of that. 

"Then there is the second place Humphrey with the graded SS-Rank talent, Aerogenesis! Let's give him a round of applause." 

Humphrey, the mixed-race human seated beside him who had ears like that of an elf, showed an even stronger reaction than Dante as his powers seemed to rise, the wind around him becoming sharp like a blade.

He looked like he was a second away from firing at the projections, but he seemed to realize it would be futile as these were not their real bodies. 

"The third place, Slessor with the graded SS-Rank talent, Space Folding! Let's give the lovely lady a round of applause!" 

The lamia girl's body changed, her beautiful face morphing into one of ferocity as her slitted eyes widened and her fangs elongated. Her tongue stuck out and her tail tensed, as if she was ready to pounce. The killing intent she gave off was more primal than Dante or Humphrey. 

Andrais continued listing out all the Unique Batch's member's superpower's one by one, causing each and every one of them to glare at him with utter hatred. What he had done was a universal taboo that was about as bad as a crime as murder. 

"Now, I see you students have been glaring at me with such ferocity that if I were here in reality, you'd probably try to kill me, and you would be justified too. After all, revealing someone's superpowers which they entrusted to you in confidentiality is a severe breach of trust and is heavily punished by the Prime Civilization's Human Council." Andrais continued when he finished his incomprehensible act. 

"However, as I stated before, this second part of the orientation is the reality check. Here, we, your beloved teachers, take the risk of eternal damnation to slap your faces awake to the reality of the world and teach you the first lesson: don't trust anyone with such information ever again!" 

Andrais smiled. "But I see that none of you show grateful looks for the important lesson and still harbor malice, so I must say this for the record. Whether it is myself, the headmistress, or the teachers, none of us truly care or fear your little tantrums." 

"We were once students who naturally awoke superpowers and entered the Zero Gate, acquiring even more for ourselves as time went on. We have lived for more years than three of your family's generations, so we have had ample time to practice and extract the potential of our abilities." 

Andrais sneered and the teachers behind him showed the full disregard they had for the harm they had caused the students, regardless of pure human or not. 

"We happily welcome any attempts at revenge you have, now and forever till you eventually turn to dust. You can even report our misdeeds to the Human Council right after this orientation, but haha, good luck with that." 

Andrais looked back. "About half of the teachers here are councilors themselves, and are powerful enough that no one dares to punish them even if they genocide an entire race, much less reveal your little secrets." 

The faces of all the students changed greatly, and they finally understood what Andrais meant by a reality check. They had been brutally wronged and abused, but due to how weak they were, there was nothing they could do about it, as background and wealth were irrelevant in the face of raw martial might. 

Who was going to police the strongest few beings in the universe? 

"Haha, that's it for the orientation. Oh, and students of the Elite and Normal Batch, please do not spread what you've heard today anywhere. If we find out that any persons of the Unique Batch's superpower are revealed to the public, we will hunt you down and personally take your life~" Andrais said in a kind manner, but the students of the two batches couldn't help but feel a chill. 

The projections left without waiting for any closing ceremony, and the last to leave was actually the headmistress. She glanced at Dante with her blood-red eyes, seated from a high position. 

"Work hard and impress me student, and I might take you in as my apprentice. There are powers in this universe that are far beyond your comprehension, and superpowers are just the bottom-floor requirement to get in touch with them." She spoke these cryptic words and then did not even glance at the others like they were trash, not even those with SS-Rank superpowers, then left. 

The entire Assembly Hall was quiet for a long while before it erupted in noise as the students vented their fury and fear at such treatment. While there were those with ugly expressions who lowered their head and planned to swallow this grievance, there were some hotheaded ones who wanted to fight right away. 

There were also those who thought their IQ was above the world itself and had glints in their eyes as they prepared to use the Quantum Network to contact certain dark societies to sell the information they had received today. 

There were also those righteous fellows who believed in the system and had filed long petitions as well as complaints to the Human Council, sneering at those arrogant teachers. There were those who sneered at the righteous fellows for being dumb and opened social media, planning to post what happened to everyone and use the public's anger to put pressure on the academy. 

Everyone reacted with their own methods, but only the 28 Unique Batch students remained silent as they seriously digested the headmistress' words. They had never heard of something like this despite their various backings, though there were hints from their elders that something special was going on. 

Something that contributed to the value of superpowers overall, but they did not have access to that info. It seemed that because Dante had an SSS-rank superpower, he had achieved the basic qualification to receive a hint from the headmistress. 

As for Dante himself, he maintained a cold expression like he was unhappy, but inside he sighed with relief. It was a good thing his superpower was mistaken as teleportation and he swore never to tell anyone about his true ability no matter what. 

Today's lesson was very astute, especially for him. Unless he had the all-encompassing strength to suppress everything, a secret must remain a secret. He could be high profile for sure, but it was not necessary to reveal his Quantum Teleportation to anyone unless he could absolutely guarantee their trust. 

He was even thinking a step ahead about Andrais' actions and what he said. They did this every year to every new batch? What a bunch of arrogant and crazy fellows. Did they know how many enemies with superpowers they were creating? 

Dante was a person who wasn't born and raised in the Eternal Universe, so he did not have the full sensibilities and ideals that the natives had. He might forgive their trespass because they were wrong about his superpower and because he didn't much care due to the wrong information, but these natives had expressions like they had witnessed their parents being killed in front of them. 

Seriously, who does that? Just create hundreds of young enemies that will work hard to try and kill you? All of that just to establish your prestige? Why not just organize a tournament and beat them up instead? 

Dante then thought about what Headmistress Lara said, and his surprise was not that great. After all, these fellows might not know, but he knew. There were higher-dimensional beings in this universe, who lived in the Fourth Dimension and above. 

That was how he survived his trip into this universe and even gained his superpower. These beings were so powerful that they could grant superpowers on a whim, so Dante was not like his classmates who felt that superpowers were the limit and height of what one could achieve. 

Dante did not want to think about higher dimensional beings and what that meant for now. He simply got up from his seat and began to leave the Assembly Hall while the others seemed to wake up. They also left one by one, some in groups as well while they continued to chat and form cliques. 

Many eyes filled with schadenfreude or pity fell upon the 28 Unique Batch members, feeling excited that they got 'violated' without being able to fight back. After all, the class system between students had already caused dark feelings to emerge in their hearts. 

As for Dante, he directly stepped into a nearby teleporter and left, appearing in front of his residence. He looked over and saw that Humphrey appeared at the teleporter to the residence on his right, and the two shared a look before ignoring each other and entering their residences. 

Dante slumped on a sofa in the living room and gazed at the ceiling. He felt tired despite only spending less than 20 minutes in that orientation, and it had also given him a lot to think about. 

Anyway, while he was here, it was time to check out the information uploaded to his chip.
