Ren Isana and the others approached and finally learned the middle-aged man's identity. He was the person in charge of this Dimensional Rift, specifically assigned to manage this area from now on.
"The interior of the Dungeon has been mostly explored. The space inside is massive. The first few floors are basically devoid of any real danger, but the further down you go, the stronger the monsters become," the manager explained to the teachers.
The students in the class listened quietly. After all, this concerned everyone's lives and safety, forcing them to take it seriously.
"You are only allowed to operate within the first ten floors. As long as you don't go too deep within those ten floors, you basically won't encounter any major danger. It's perfectly suited for rookies like you to gain experience." The manager's gaze shifted toward the crowd of students.
He specifically lingered on Ren, unable to help but take a few extra glances. After sensing the aura radiating from the boy, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.
*Good heavens, he's already at Tier 4? What's the deal with this student? Didn't they just divide the classes? How is he already at Tier 4?*
He was clearly startled by Ren's strength. He knew exactly what was going on with this group of students; his old buddy had put a lot of effort into gathering all these specific talents and placing them into a single, separate class.
Now it seemed his idea was correct. Some students simply couldn't be judged by common sense. From the time they awakened their talents until now, the strength of this entire group had broken through to Tier 3, and there was even a Tier 4 among them.
"I understand, Manager Go. We won't let them go to the lower floors," Rina-sensei hurriedly assured after listening to his explanation.
"Don't worry. Even if they wanted to go down, they wouldn't be able to. The entrances to the floors below the tenth are currently guarded by stationed personnel, so they couldn't go down even if they tried," Manager Go explained with a smile.
Hearing this, the three teachers breathed a sigh of relief. That was for the best. In reality, the floors suitable for rookie exploration weren't limited to just the first ten; even the eleventh and twelfth floors were suitable.
However, the further down they went, the more dangerous it became. The monsters on those two floors would only increase in number. Because of this, restricting the students to the first ten floors was the best course of action.
If they wanted to continue descending, they absolutely wouldn't be allowed until their strength met the standard. The teachers also knew a bit about the internal information of the Dungeon.
Aside from regular monsters, Floor Bosses and the like would even appear in the Dungeon. Letting these students deal with Floor Bosses? They were guaranteed to be instantly wiped out.
"That's basically it. You can arrange the rest yourselves. I'll get back to work." Manager Go didn't linger any longer, leaving directly to attend to his own business.
After he left, Rina-sensei, Shizuka Hiratsuka, and Jin-sensei turned to face the students. Rina-sensei spoke slowly, "You all heard the situation just now. Therefore, once you enter the Dungeon, it's best to explore in parties. Do not go too deep, understood?"
The crowd hurriedly responded to Rina-sensei's words. Of course they understood, and they had firmly memorized all the information they had just learned.
"If there are no questions, get ready to head out. We won't help you with the upcoming exploration. Unless your lives are threatened, we will not intervene," Shizuka Hiratsuka chimed in with a reminder.
These words immediately put many on high alert. It seemed the teachers were going to separate from everyone, letting them explore freely inside, and in parties no less!
For a moment, many eyes turned toward Ren. If there was anyone everyone wanted to party up with, it was absolutely him. After all, everyone now knew he was already at Tier 4!
How could the teachers not know what these students were thinking? There was only one Ren; it was impossible for everyone to follow him. Realizing this, Rina-sensei announced, "Form parties of four. Group up yourselves."
As soon as she said this, everyone instantly felt their chances vanish. Who didn't know that Ren was close with those specific girls in the class? With a four-person limit, there was no room for anyone else.
Everyone averted their gazes and began looking for people they knew to form parties. Although it was a pity, there was nothing they could do but form their own groups.
Asuna, Megumi Kato, and Yukino Yukinoshita all gathered beside Ren. Their intentions were self-evident: they were partying up with him.
The rest of the class also quickly formed their respective parties. Seeing this, Rina-sensei immediately said, "Once you've formed your parties, follow me. The school has prepared some things for you."
With that, Rina-sensei turned and walked toward a small building not far away. Hearing this, the crowd was a bit confused. The school actually prepared things for them? Many felt a sense of bewilderment.
Everyone followed Rina-sensei to the destination. Then, she, Shizuka Hiratsuka, and Jin-sensei went inside. A moment later, they carried out several boxes and placed them on the ground.
"Come, one bottle of Mental Power Potion per person. Drink it before entering the Dungeon. It's used to enhance your mental power," Rina-sensei explained the potion's purpose.
Hearing the name of the potion, Ren paused for a moment. *A Mental Power Potion?* Drinking this stuff would increase one's mental power cap, and the best way to digest it was through combat!
Moreover, it was ridiculously expensive. And now the school was giving it out for free? Was it really this good? Ren remembered the price being tens of thousands of Valis per bottle. With over forty people in the class, giving these out for free would cost millions.
The students had also heard of this item. A person could only drink one bottle in their entire lifetime; drinking more would have no effect. Therefore, many people planned to buy it in the future when they had the money.
They just never expected the school to actually give it out for free. Were they really this generous? While they were thinking this, the teachers had already begun distributing the potions.
Ren and his group also received a bottle. Looking at the test-tube-sized potion in his hand, he felt a bit surprised. *They really gave it out, and it didn't even cost a dime.*
"Drink up, and then enter the Dungeon," Rina-sensei and the others called out to everyone after distributing the potions. Seeing this, Ren didn't hesitate. He twisted off the cap and downed it in one gulp.
As the potion entered his mouth, it felt icy and cool. The ingredients of the potion automatically surfaced in Ren's mind, along with the exact method to concoct it.
*Does this count as the God Tongue?* A strange thought flashed through Ren's mind. The production method for this kind of potion had always been kept strictly confidential, but now, Ren had directly learned it.
After drinking the potion, Ren felt his brain become refreshed and cool. It was truly a subtle sensation. This cooling effect would last for quite a while.
If one wanted to digest the potion quickly, they could only increase the digestion rate through intense physical exertion or combat. Once the potion was completely digested, their mental power would reach a whole new level.
