Chapter 84: Failed the Physical Fitness Test
It was Su Nian's turn to walk into the mental tester. In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on her like spotlights, their eyes filled with complex and intense expectations.
Su Nian's jade-like face looked particularly nervous at the moment. Her slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, just like a pool of spring water ruffled by the breeze. In her clear eyes, the light of determination shone, but it was difficult to hide a trace of unnoticeable uneasiness. She slightly opened her pink lips and bit them slightly. Her lips turned slightly pale due to nervousness and lost their original blood color. Fine beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. When she stepped into the tester, she took a deep breath and straightened her slender but straight back, trying to calm herself down in this way.
The machine gave a cold reminder: "Please use your mental power."
Su Nian slowly closed her eyes, her thick and long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a frightened butterfly flapping its wings. At this moment, her heart was like a surging sea, and her strong desire for progress was like a stormy wave: "I must make a breakthrough this time. I have put in so much effort, I will definitely not stay at the F level. I must prove myself and gain a firm foothold in this strange world."
Her small and delicate nose wings twitched slightly, and her slender fingers involuntarily clenched the corner of her clothes. Then, her spiritual thread slowly extended from her body. The spiritual thread was weak and slender, like a weak candle flame that could be extinguished at any time in the wind, or like a tender bud that just broke through the ground in early spring, fragile but full of endless possibilities. Su Nian tried her best to control the spiritual thread, hoping that it could approach the spiritual power receiver as steadily as possible.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground. The slight "tick-tick" sound seemed to be infinitely amplified in this quiet space.
"I must succeed and I must make progress." Su Nian kept encouraging herself in her heart. In a trance, she seemed to see the dawn of success quietly waiting for her not far ahead.
Finally, the spiritual thread as soft as a hair gently touched the spiritual power receiver.
The emotionless voice of the machine rang out mercilessly: "Su Nian, mental strength F level."
Su Nian opened her eyes suddenly, and her eyes, which were originally full of hope, were instantly filled with disbelief and deep loss. She stood there woodenly, as if time had stopped at this moment, and the hustle and bustle around her had nothing to do with her. Her lips trembled slightly, and she was about to say something but stopped. Her eyes were slightly red, and tears were swirling in her eyes, but she stubbornly held back, clenching her teeth to prevent the tears from flowing out.
“Why is it still F grade? I have clearly tried my best…” Su Nian screamed in pain in his heart, his hands falling limply on both sides of his body.
The students around him all showed expressions of surprise and regret.
Zhao Yan stepped forward and said with a caring look on his face, "Su Nian, don't be discouraged. Maybe you can break through next time. You work so hard every day. This is just a temporary setback."
Ye Yao also said immediately: "That's right, Su Nian, you work so hard, it is inevitable that you will make progress. If you fail this time, there will always be next time."
Su Nian took a deep breath, trying to calm his fluctuating emotions, raised his head, and said with a firm gaze: "I will never give up, I will continue to work hard until I succeed."
Next was the physical fitness test, and everyone was scanned by the physical fitness test machine in turn.
"Zhang Kuang, 91 points." The voice of the machine sounded, and Lin Kuang's face was full of pride, and he shook his hair confidently.
"Zhang Meng, 90 points." Lin Biao nodded with satisfaction, as if he was quite sure about this result.
"Zhao Yan, 86 points." Zhao Yan touched his head and said with a smile: "Not bad, keep it up."
"Cheng Yi, 85 points." Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had achieved a relatively ideal score.
"Chu Feng, 85 points." Chu Feng's expression was as calm as water, as if this score was just an ordinary score for him.
Zhang Kuang excitedly said to Chu Feng: "Haha, Chu Feng, this time we two brothers finally surpassed your score!" Zhang Meng also echoed: "That's right, we can finally hold our heads high."
"Ye Yao, 75 points." Ye Yao pouted, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Su Nian, 59 points." This result made everyone look incredulous, and their eyes were all directed at Su Nian like sharp arrows.
Su Nian's face turned pale instantly, but she gritted her teeth and held back the tears that were about to burst out. She clenched her fists tightly and murmured in disbelief: "Oh, how could this happen? Am I really that bad?" Her eyes were full of disappointment and self-doubt, but also a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.
At this time, the robot issued a serious warning: "You failed the physical fitness test. If you do not improve your physical fitness to a passing score of 70 or above, you will not be able to participate in mecha combat simulation training, interstellar field survival training, high-intensity physical confrontation drills, space weightlessness environment adaptation training, extreme endurance breakthrough courses, interstellar exploration emergency training, space combat skills training, hypergravity environment stress resistance training, and interstellar navigation physical reserve training."
When everyone heard the long list of professional training programs announced by the robot, they all looked at Su Nian with sympathy.
At this time, a classmate next to him began to sneer: "Nowadays, there are still people who fail. What era is this? It's really hard to understand. Even a five-year-old child can pass."
"That's right. Those who fail to meet the standards are basically those who are seriously ill and dying. Does she have a serious illness?"
Su Nian's face became increasingly ugly, but she still suppressed her anger and grievance, and coldly glanced at those who mocked her.
Zhao Yan and others heard these taunts and quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense, the machine scan shows that Su Nian is not sick."
Ye Yao also said anxiously: "However, will her wisdom teeth and appendix be affected? It is better to deal with them quickly. If there is a problem, it will be troublesome."
Cheng Yi echoed: "That's right, Su Nian, you can't take this matter lightly."
Su Nian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This little setback won't defeat me."
