Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 573 - Class Allocation



Chapter 573: Class Allocation

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Zhang Shan saw the smile on Wang Zheng’s face. He really wanted to just bury his head like an ostrich. This brat was a classic case of trying to act cool but was struck by lightning. Luckily, Lia and her group did not intend to grab the opportunity and ridicule him.

The others were just smirking. There was someone with a score of 60! Although 60 was still considered a pass.

The one who smiled the happiest was obviously the brat that scored 72 previously. He was Detai and was from Manalasuo. Initially he had thought he would be the bottom of the group. Everything was great now.

Obviously, Instructor Gao and Instructor Ai were the most speechless.

A few months ago, Olivios had made history with a in-depth genetic score of 96. This was the highest score ever since the development of the in-depth examination machine!

One wouldn’t had imagined that the one who shared the same status as Olivios in IG had made another record.

60! Historic low!

After the first phase of the genetic score examination was over, the two of them went to hide in a corner and whispered to one another.

Both of them were put in a difficult situation.

The truth was that Wang Zheng was on Elite Academy X’s “must-have” list. His performance in the previous IG was enough. However, his genetic score was only 60 now!

“This is truly too low.”

Instructor Ai frowned as he tensed his short and muscular body tightly.

“However, you have seen the information on the video. It was especially so when he operated the Golden Wheel. We would not be able to find someone at the same level as him even in Elite Academy X.”

“What you meant is... he is a special talent that specializes in mecha?”

Although that might be true, to... enroll a student with a genetic score of only 60, even they felt it was hard to make the decision. He could at least score a 65. The score of 60 was truly too ugly.

“The truth is that he isn’t just a special talent. In the field of physics, he has also made contributions. 60 is a little low but he had at least made the minimum passing mark. Theoretically speaking, if he was to work diligently, his potential would still be great. Moreover, he should be able to make up some points in the second round of examination. It shouldn’t be a problem if we enrolled him based on average scores.”

The two instructors exchanged a gaze and nodded. They turned around and announced that the second round of examinations would be starting soon.

“The second round of examination was also very simple. Everyone should already be used to it. Exams!”

Instantly, a group of people were speechless.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan also held their forehead and sighed. It was really no matter where you went to, there would be examinations. However, if there weren’t examinations, the succession of human civilisation would definitely be problematic.

Exams were truly the magic weapons for the succession of civilisation.

However, no matter if it was Wang Zheng or Zhang Shan, they wouldn’t bat an eyelid in the face of exams. It was as though they had gone through hundreds of exams.

Wang Zheng had undergone the Old Merchant’s various torments. He would need to score at least 60 in school examinations or his dinner would just be instant dinner. If he wanted to eat meat, he would have to score full marks in the Old Merchant’s exams... Recalling back, could it be that he had an affinity with the score 60 since that time? As for Zhang Shan, it was because he had a so-called “cruel” professor as his father.

In this aspect, the two of them were brimming with confidence. However, when the exams had started, Zhang Shan and Wang Zheng were stunned. Both of their strengths lay in mathematics and physics. Indeed, these two subjects were the main fundamentals of sciences in the Milky Way Galaxy currently. However, this did not meant that the examination questions would only test these subjects.

“What do the people of Rota Star liked to eat...”

Zhang Shan almost vomited when he saw this question. The people from Rota Star? What the hell was that? What did what they like to eat have anything to do with him? Could it be that it had threatened the peace of the universe?

The questions given were Multiple Choice questions. They could at least guess...

Wang Zheng was feeling equally gloomy too. What was this about?

The expressions of others were also not consistent with some being happier while the others looked worried. Clearly, everyone felt complicated. Everyone had areas they were good at and also areas they were weak at. This set of exams questions truly gave them a headache.

The two instructors enjoyed witnessing the students being at a loss. They also felt that the person who set those questions were really crazy. However, Ability X users represented the evolutionary direction of humankind. Not only were they in possession of a mystical power, their acceptance to new knowledge was way ahead of a normal person. This set of questions was examining the things that the students like and how widely they read.

When the exams were completed, Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan who were brimming with confidence previously could see each other’s embarrassment. These exams questions were truly tough.

The results were out soon. Most of them were around the mark of 70+. Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan did quite well. Wang Zheng scored 81 while Zhang Shan scored 82. Surprisingly, Zhang Shan scored a little higher.

Both of them weren’t too satisfied. However, the other people were quite surprised that the two people from Earth would be so good.

The instructors did not give any good or bad comments. It was mainly use for documentation and filing. Wang Zheng was curious and asked,” Zhang Shan, what did you write for the question on Rota Star?”

Wang Zheng was similar to Zhang Shan. Questions that involved physics weren’t too deep. Therefore the difference would definitely be on other questions. However, Zhang Shan would likely not know how to do the questions that he did not know too.

“Lollipop... Damn, do they really like to eat this. Why did they have the same preference as a Loli?”

This was the only question that Zhang Shan answered correctly and Wang Zheng did not. If he could even get this right by guessing, Zhang Shan felt that his luck was back.

The last stage would be an examination of Ability X. The level of Ability X was the most important for those who could be here. This was the emphasis of the examination.

“Don’t be nervous. We would be mainly testing if everyone had reached the C rank and one’s basic inclinations.” said Instructor Gao. Usually if they had met the harder requirements, they would all pass. The emphasis of Elite Academy X was through elimination. There would be minimum enrolment criteria. Once you could no longer keep up, you would be expelled. It was easy to get in but hard to remain inside.

However, if one was to look at the entire Milky Way Alliance, these criteria weren’t simple at all.

The third stage, comprehensive assessment of Ability X.

“Obviously, we wouldn’t say that this was not important. This is because it relates to the class you would be allocated to.” Instructor Gao smiled gently. Immediately the atmosphere became tense.

Everyone knew that the key wasn’t about the examination but in the allocation of classes.

Those who didn’t perform well in the first two stages were able to suppress their anxiety. However, they also lost their smiles and had stopped talking.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were rather composed. This was also due to the psychology qualities of a “bad student”. They had never believed that the class would determine their strength.

The first to take the assessment was still Lia. Ladies first.

Instructor Ai warmly introduced the assessment mechanism: Don’t worry! What we are examining would be the comprehensive assessment of your ability and not battle prowess. Overall speaking, it would be divided into three steps. The first step would be assessment of spiritual strength. The second step would be assessment of the direction of your ability. The third step would be assessing the level of control.”

As Instructor completed his sentence, Instructor Gao who had been playing the good cop role headed towards Lia and signalled to her,” Let’s start with an assessment on your spiritual strength.”

The spiritual strength machine seemed a little like a lung capacity machine that measured one’s lung capacity. There was also a long tube with a funnel into a device that was half as tall as a person. However, the funnel was stuck on one’s forehead.

“The long tube is a conduit fibre for spiritual strength. The examination method would be to concentrate your spiritual strength and release it. Let it pass through the conduit fibre towards the machine. Please pay attention. Based on different examination modes, the conduit fibre would have different resistances to spiritual strength.” Instructor Ai introduced. “Are you ready?”

Lia nodded her head. It was hilarious to see the long tube being attached to a beautiful woman’s forehead. However, no one around was laughing. Everyone had gone through spiritual strength assessment before but they were simple assessments and none was like this. Moreover, there were different modes of spiritual resistance.

“Let’s start with the simplest resistance value of 1.”

Instructor Gao adjusted the machine and signaled for Lia to start sending her spiritual strength.

Lia’s eyes flickered and her spiritual strength flooded towards the long conduit fibre through her forehead. She could feel that she made an instantaneous spiritual connection with the machine. It was as though she was using her spiritual strength to push up some weights.

It was smooth initially. However, she soon felt that she didn’t have enough strength and couldn’t push the weights further.

“Great, recall your spiritual strength. The next step, resistance value 10. Start!”

This time, Lia could clearly feel that when the spiritual strength passed through the long tube, it wasn’t as smooth. It seemed a little like a boat moving upstream. It was even harder for her spiritual strength to life the weights.

“Recall it. Resistance value 20. Start...”

“Resistance value 30...”

“Resistance value 100...”

When the resistance value reached 100, Lia lowered her head depressingly. When her spiritual energy passed through the spiritual strength conduit fibre, there was less than 10% left and couldn’t move the weights in the machine at all.

“Next, Eisen.”

The two instructors didn’t explain if these results were good or bad but had signalled for the next person to start.

Eisen also started from resistance value 1. However, his spiritual strength was clearly stronger than Lia by a little. The speed of the connection and the height of the weights lifted were also higher.

Moreover, he did not stopped at resistance value 100 but managed to last till the resistance value of 130.

Lia was looking a little pale. Clearly, she had stopped when the resistance level was 100 and her results weren’t ideal.

The last person of Earthworm Federation was clearly even faster and stronger. In the end, he stopped at resistance value of 150.

The other examinees took the test one after another. There were people feeling great but they were also people feeling sad about it. Most of the people had stopped when the resistance value is 100. There were even someone who had stopped at resistance value 70.

“Zhang Shan.”

“Here!” Zhang Shan clenched his teeth and walked up.

Zhang Shan held the long tube against his forehead and waited quietly for the order.

“Resistance value 1, start!”

Boom...

Zhang Shan exploded.

Instantly, the other end of the machine lighted up.

Instructor Gao and Instructor Ai were stunned for a moment. It was really fast! Looking at the time on the machine, he had only used 0.01 seconds to pass through the long tube.

However, the height of the lifted weight wasn’t very hig.

The two of them exchanged a gaze quickly. Was this because the high speed transmission of spiritual strength took too much of a toll on his spiritual strength or was the intensity of Zhang Shan’s spiritual strength just average?

“Resistance value 10, start.”

Buzz...

It was still an instantaneous connection!

The height of the lifted weight was still at the average level.

At this moment, everyone could tell that Zhang Shan was different. It was still reasonable when the resistance value was 1. Everyone was quick and took approximately 0.05 second to pass through the long tube. It wasn’t that the experienced one wanted to make the argument for the sake of it. The difference between 0.05 second and 0.01 second wasn’t as obvious to humans’ senses as the values on the machine.

However, it was different for resistance value of 10. Everyone needed at least one to three seconds to complete spiritual connection with the machine.

However, for Zhang Shan... it was instantaneous!
