Chapter 27 Testing Mental Strength
Su Nian asked for directions along the way and finally found the school's admissions office. As soon as she stepped in, her slightly messy steps and nervous expression instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Several teachers were busy with their own work, but when they heard the noise, they all looked up. One of the teachers noticed Su Nian right away, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. After all, they had known that a girl would come to enroll today, which was a rare event in this school with few girls.
The teachers looked at Su Nian and saw that she was wearing a worn-out radiation protection suit with patches on it and the color was almost faded. She also had a torn bag on her back with the straps almost broken. One teacher couldn't help but whispered, "This little girl looks so pitiful, wearing such shabby clothes."
"Are you the student who called?" The teacher put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and asked with a gentle smile on his face.
Su Nian nodded timidly and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, teacher, I will come to apply for admission."
Several other teachers also cast curious glances at Su Nian, looking her up and down. One of the teachers said softly, "This little girl looks quite frail. I wonder if she can adapt to life in our school."
Another teacher responded, "Don't say that. Maybe he is very tenacious."
The teacher in charge of reception handed Su Nian a spreadsheet and said, "Come on, little girl, fill out this form first."
Su Nian took the form with both hands, as if she had taken on an invaluable mission. She walked to the table nearby and sat down carefully, writing every stroke very carefully, as if she was writing her own future. Her brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes were focused and determined, she bit her lips unconsciously, and beads of sweat gradually oozed out of her forehead.
After a long while, Su Nian finally finished filling out the form, held it in both hands and handed it to the teacher, his eyes full of anticipation and anxiety.
The teacher took the form, checked it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad, very serious. Come with me."
Su Nian quickly stood up and followed the teacher closely. His steps were a little hurried, and his heart was beating like a little rabbit.
They walked through the long corridor and came to the place where the school tested their mental strength. There was already a long queue, and Su Nian stood at the back of the queue, the sound of her heartbeat was particularly clear in her ears.
In front of her were a few boys, who were chatting animatedly.
"Alas, my mental strength hasn't improved. It's still standing still." A tall boy shook his head helplessly, his face full of frustration, and he scratched his hair with both hands in annoyance.
“Yeah, if we can reach the S-level mental power of an admiral, that would be amazing. We’d probably be able to walk sideways on the interstellar battlefield.” said another boy wearing glasses, his eyes full of yearning.
"Don't dream. Senior Li from our school is a genius among geniuses. He has reached A-level mental power at a young age. We should be happy if we can reach B-level." A short-haired boy curled his lips, his tone showing both envy and a hint of unwillingness.
"I heard that there are some talented freshmen this time. I wonder what level they can reach."
They chatted back and forth, and Su Nian listened silently in the back. He became more and more nervous, and his hands twisted together unconsciously.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally it was Su Nian's turn. The teacher next to her said, "Little girl, don't be nervous, lie down and put this device on your head."
Su Nian took a deep breath and slowly lay down in the testing machine. Her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation. Just as she had the idea of releasing her mental power, before she could really extend it, the mental testing machine beeped.
"Spiritual strength F level." The teacher's voice was calm without a trace of emotion.
"As expected." Another teacher next to him sighed softly, with a trace of helplessness and disappointment on his face. He shook his head and looked away from the test results.
Su Nian's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes. But just a moment later, she bit her lip and secretly encouraged herself in her heart: "Even if my mental strength is poor, I can definitely change everything through hard work!"
Hearing that he had F-level mental power, Su Nian felt disappointed, but he quickly calmed himself down.
The teacher in charge of the test looked at Su Nian, as if he wanted to comfort her, and said slowly: "Child, don't be too discouraged. Our mental power level, the worst is F level, and the upper levels are E level, D level, C level, B level and A level. Those who can reach A level are rare. For example, our school can produce an A-level senior, which is already a matter of pride for all the teachers and students in the school. Above A level, there are S level and double S level. However, those who can reach S level are legendary figures in the galaxy, and there are very few of them. Double S level is even rarer, and can be counted on one hand. Most people are at ordinary levels such as C level, D level, E level and F level. Although you are F level now, as long as you work hard, it is not completely impossible to improve."
Su Nian listened to the teacher carefully, nodded, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes. He said, "Teacher, I understand. I will work hard."
The teacher smiled and encouraged: "Okay, go and handle the subsequent admission procedures."
Su Nian left the mental power testing room and secretly vowed in his heart that he must improve his mental power level through his own efforts and carve out a place for himself in this world full of challenges and opportunities.
During the admission process, Su Nian learned that the school would provide corresponding courses and training for students of different mental power levels. F-level students usually need to start with basic physical training and mental perception, and gradually improve their abilities.
