Chapter 47: The Talkative Roommate! The Girl Outside the Dorm

Every dormitory building at the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities is equipped with a training room.

But the training room isn’t very large, and it lacks testing equipment like punch force meters, so it’s only suitable for daily exercises.

To accurately determine the power of your supernatural ability or combat technique, or even your punching speed and force, you must go to a martial arts gym.

Within the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities campus, there are only two martial arts gyms: the famed Thunder Martial Arts Gym and the Rampaging Bear Martial Arts Gym.

When he was in Jiangcheng, Xu Jingming often went to the Thunder Martial Arts Gym.

This time, he planned to go there to test his strength, but as he walked toward it, he faintly smelled a faint stench.

Only then did Xu Jingming realize that, due to shaping the Thunder Indestructible Body, his body had expelled a great deal of impurities, which clung to his skin.

“Forget it, I’ll head back to the dorm and take a shower first, then go to the gym.”

Xu Jingming didn’t want to be a source of foul odor, so he turned around and headed toward the student dormitory.

As he drew closer to the student dormitory, the number of people he saw along the way increased.

When he entered the freshman villa district, this phenomenon became even more obvious.

The previously deserted road was now filled with male and female students walking about.

Some were couples holding hands, but most were groups of several male classmates or several female classmates together.

They looked to be about the same age as Xu Jingming—around eighteen or nineteen.

Many students gazed around curiously like curious children, and some even had their parents accompanying them, dragging suitcases.

“Are these all freshmen?”

Only then did Xu Jingming remember that six days had passed since he registered at the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities.

By now, the Wu Ke college entrance exam application process had long been completed, and acceptance letters had been delivered to every student.

“But only a top-tier university like the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities would have so many freshmen choosing to enroll early.”

Students who get into the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities are considered geniuses in their provinces and cities.

Naturally, they understand the principle that being first means staying ahead.

Arriving early lets them secure priority access to the institute’s premium educational resources and facilities.

They certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to wait until September to register.

Xu Jingming’s villa is number 32 in Dormitory Zone 3.

When he reached the villa’s entrance, he found the front door—closed before he left—wide open.

“Looks like my roommate has arrived.”

Xu Jingming walked into the villa with a smile.

Sure enough, he saw a male student sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room, using the AI Eva to search for information.

Sensing someone enter the villa, the male student turned his head.

Upon seeing Xu Jingming walk in, his eyes lit up.

He hurriedly stood up from the sofa, rushed to Xu Jingming’s side, and cheerfully extended his right hand:

“You must be my roommate, right? Hello, I’m Liu Wentao, nice to meet you.”

Liu Wentao had a handsome face, slightly tanned skin, and a messy fringe.

At this moment, his lips curved into a smile, giving the first impression of being sunny and outgoing.

“Xu Jingming.” Xu Jingming smiled and shook Liu Wentao’s hand.

“Xu Jingming? You’re the provincial top scorer from Jiangnan Province!”

Upon hearing Xu Jingming’s name, Liu Wentao blurted out in reflex.

“You know me?” Xu Jingming looked at him in confusion.

This should have been their first meeting.

“Of course! My nickname is Mr. Know-It-All!”

Liu Wentao puffed out his chest proudly. “I know most of the new students’ information this year.

But I didn’t specifically collect yours—your name just made too much noise at the time.

After all, you were this year’s biggest dark horse from Jiangnan Province.”

Liu Wentao chuckled.

He was naturally sensitive to information; after seeing Xu Jingming’s details online, he quietly stored them in his memory.

But after a while, when there were no more news about Xu Jingming online, he stopped paying attention.

He never expected that the man would also apply to the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities—and become his roommate.

“By the way, are you really from Jiangcheng, the impoverished city in Jiangnan Province? Or did you just take the college entrance exam there while living in a wealthier city?”

“Also, were you really just an Awakened One during the exam? And your supernatural ability doesn’t even look like an E-rank...”

Liu Wentao was incredibly easygoing—he’d barely met Xu Jingming and was already slinging an arm around his shoulders.

He fired off a rapid-fire barrage of questions.

Xu Jingming didn’t mind at all; instead, he smiled.

In his past life, he’d been born in an orphanage.

Elementary school was fine—he had plenty of friends.

But after entering middle school, he had to leave the orphanage and live alone.

Back then, his least favorite time each day was coming home after school.

Because he was alone in his home, he’d turn on the TV and pretend someone was with him.

When he got to high school and could live on campus, things improved a little—but weekends were still lonely.

He preferred the feeling of company, so he studied hard and got into university.

Daily banter with his roommates and late-night gaming sessions were the happiest times of his life.

But after four years, he’d face solitude again.

So he worked hard and got into graduate school, gaining new roommates once more.

Later, he earned his doctorate and gained a lively group of senior and junior classmates.

Then, at his doctoral graduation banquet, he drank a bit too much.

When he woke up, he’d been reborn into this world.

And tragically, he was still an orphan.

Though his aunt occasionally visited, solitude remained his constant theme.

Thus, whether in his past life or this one, Xu Jingming always resisted solitude.

Seeing Liu Wentao’s talkative nature, he actually liked it.

So Xu Jingming sat down on the sofa and began chatting with Liu Wentao.

During their conversation, Xu Jingming learned that Liu Wentao came from Sichuan Province, known as the Land of Abundance.

He possessed an A-rank mental-type supernatural ability, was at the mid-level of first stage, and ranked in the top twenty in Sichuan’s Wu Ke exam.

He applied to the Magic Capital Institute of Supernatural Abilities specifically for its Tactical Academy.

In his own words, he planned to command a million troops and exterminate every beast on Blue Star!

When Liu Wentao learned that Xu Jingming had truly been only an Awakened One during the exam, he couldn’t help but gasp repeatedly.

“Alright, enough talking—I’m heading to the gym soon.”

After chatting a while and seeing the time, Xu Jingming stood up from the sofa.

“Gym? I’m going too.” Liu Wentao was equally eager. “I’ve never been to the Magic Capital Institute’s gym.”

“Fine, let’s go together after we shower.”

Xu Jingming nodded and walked straight upstairs.

More than ten minutes later, refreshed and dressed in clean clothes, Xu Jingming and Liu Wentao stepped out of the villa.

It was just past eleven in the morning; the sun shone brightly, and many freshmen walked the paths.

Xu Jingming and Liu Wentao headed toward the dormitory zone exit.

As usual, Xu Jingming walked with perfect posture, eyes straight ahead.

Beside him, Liu Wentao scanned everywhere, his gaze drifting over the freshmen on the path.

Occasionally, he lingered a moment longer on attractive female classmates, revealing a slightly lewd smile.

“Ah Ming, look over there! There’s a total beauty!”

After walking a short while, Liu Wentao suddenly brightened and slapped Xu Jingming’s shoulder excitedly.

Xu Jingming instinctively followed Liu Wentao’s gaze.

He saw two girls walking side by side out of a villa about ten meters ahead.

Both girls were about the same height—around 167 centimeters.

The one on the left was slightly shorter and had a decent face, but nothing stunning.

But the other girl was different.

Her features were delicate: willow-browed, cherry-lipped, utterly exquisite.

Her skin was incredibly fair, as soft and pink as a baby’s.

More striking was her figure: she wore a simple white T-shirt, yet her chest was impressively full.

Below, tight light-blue jeans accentuated her long, curvaceous legs.
