116: Chapter 116 Seventh-Tier Mentor!

Today, four powerful Stage 6 Espers appeared.

Besides them, there are two other mentors who didn't appear; they are also powerful Stage 6 Espers.

And the Vice Principal is even more powerful at Stage 7.

Although the mysterious Principal hasn't appeared, his strength is definitely even more formidable than the Vice Principal's.

Thus, the faculty strength of Magic City Esper School can be described as terrifying.

It's even more impressive than the combined strength of all high-level individuals in some provinces.

At this moment, it wasn't just Bai Ye.

Guan Shu also spoke up with great curiosity.

"Is there such a teacher? I've never heard her name before."

Teacher Huang Chen appeared very calm at this moment.

"It's normal that you don't know, because this teacher hasn't taught any students for ten years."

"Furthermore, he hasn't appeared in the school for seven or eight years."

"Not just you, but even many of the younger teachers have never seen him before."

Guan Shu couldn't help but be startled upon hearing this.

"My goodness, she hasn't worked for ten years. Why is the school still supporting her?"

"Someone like that should have left the school a long time ago."

Bai Ye was also very surprised by this.

Could this teacher be a freeloader, taking money without doing any work?

The school is truly magnanimous to tolerate such a situation and allow her to stay.

Teacher Huang Chen said, "Others can't, but this teacher can, because she is the strongest existence in the entire school besides our Principal and Vice Principal!"

"She is also a Stage 7 Great Grandmaster!"

A Stage 7 Esper Great Grandmaster!

The mention of this title was shocking to the core.

One must know that the power Realms of Espers are divided into nine stages, and reaching the sixth stage marks a massive watershed.

Upon reaching Stage 6, one is known as a Grandmaster and can fly through the air.

That is considered the Realm of a true powerhouse.

At this stage, the number of people is already very small.

One's innate talent must be exceptional to achieve this.

And Stage 7 Great Grandmasters are even rarer, one in a billion, so to speak.

For a nation, only by possessing more than ten Stage 7s can it be considered a truly powerful country.

For instance, their country is exactly like this, possessing over a dozen such formidable Great Grandmaster figures.

That's why it has such a significant say in global affairs.

In other words, the existence of a single Great Grandmaster can even influence a nation's strength!

No wonder the school keeps her here even though she never shows her face.

As long as she is here, she serves as the school's powerful foundation!

Bai Ye felt even more astonished; after learning this fact, he realized just how incredible his school truly was!

To ordinary people, a Stage 7 Great Grandmaster is already a top-tier existence; as for the powerful figures of Stage 8 and Stage 9 above that, he had no impression of them at all.

It was as if he had never heard any publicity about them or seen an Immortal Master in person.

Do top-tier Espers even exist?

At this point, Teacher Huang Chen continued.

"Of course, there's a reason why Teacher Ye Liuru hasn't come out for a long time; there's been an issue with her Superpower."

"That's why she hasn't come out to teach for a very, very long time."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shu asked curiously.

"The problem must be quite severe then, otherwise it wouldn't affect the state of someone like her to the point where she won't even see anyone."

Teacher Huang Chen said, "Exactly. Teacher Ye Liuru's Superpower is also extremely powerful—it's SS-Rank!"

"It's a type of Frigid Extreme Fire!"

"Although it's a type of fire, it possesses an extremely cold sensation; even a tiny spark can freeze much of the surrounding space!"

"Furthermore, it has a powerful effect on the mental aspect; it's truly extraordinary."

"However, while this Superpower is incredibly powerful and has terrifying lethality against enemies, it also has a significant impact on the user themselves."

"There's even a kind of backlash force!"

"Teacher Ye Liuru became a Stage 7 Great Grandmaster Esper ten years ago, but by then, the backlash against her was already very severe."

"It even reached the point where she couldn't move."

"Teacher Ye Liuru feared she wouldn't be able to control her power, so she had to isolate herself and avoid meeting others to prevent hurting them."

"So for these ten years, we've had to keep her hidden; her information cannot be displayed on the official website, otherwise, if a curious student insists on looking her up, problems might arise."

"Indeed, Superpowers aren't necessarily a good thing; if a Superpower is so powerful that it's uncontrollable, it becomes a disaster instead."

"For instance, with certain mental-type Superpowers, if the user can't master them, they might not only fail to harm others but also cause themselves to go insane."

"Such situations occur frequently."

"Yet no one would have expected that a top-tier Stage 7 Esper, despite being so powerful, would face such a situation."

"Bai Ye said with great curiosity after hearing this."

"If that's the case, she's already so powerful, but what are the dangers?"

"If she becomes my mentor, aren't you afraid something might go wrong?"

Teacher Huang Chen said, "This was Vice Principal Zhao Chengxuan's idea. We don't know why he made this choice."

"However, based on the Vice Principal's reasoning, you shouldn't run into any major issues."

"After we finish eating, I'll send you the teacher's coordinates. You can go see her tomorrow."

"According to the academy's schedule, you'll attend regular classes with the other students, but your Superpower cultivation will be arranged by Teacher Ye Liuru."

"Bai Ye nodded seriously and resumed eating."

"Teacher Huang Chen had explained everything clearly; if he wanted to know more, he would have to explore for himself."

"He would go and see for himself tomorrow."

"At this moment, Teacher Huang Chen also reminded him."

"By the way, Bai Ye, go to the Equipment Warehouse tomorrow and collect those two s-rank pieces of equipment."

"Bai Ye naturally hadn't forgotten; he had been looking forward to it all day, wondering when he could collect them."

"Teacher Huang Chen was usually a very decisive and efficient person; he didn't know why he was speaking so much slower than usual today, almost as if he were intentionally stalling over the meal."

"Bai Ye saw that it was getting later and later outside, and he felt a bit anxious."
