Chapter 46: 3S+ Rank
‘Ding dong~’
While they were eating, the three of them suddenly received a message notification on their Star Brains. They opened it and saw that it was sent to all the new students of Semir Academy.
【Notice: Please all new students from each academy proceed to Jinsha Square for a psychic energy test.】
“It’s to divide the classes according to rank!” Xia Shi said excitedly.
Facing the two’s puzzled gazes, he explained, “Besides the classes for each ability major, there are also some basic technique classes. These classes don’t look at the ability classification, but divide the classes according to the new students’ psychic energy rank.”
“But didn’t everyone fill in their own ability when they registered?” Simon was still puzzled.
“I’m afraid it’s not accurate. Some people’s abilities were tested several months ago. I heard that every year, there are many students who are wrongly assigned to classes because of their rank,” Xia Shi said.
Xia Shi curiously asked Jiang Ning, “Jiang Ning, when was the last time you tested your ability?”
“Five years ago, I think,” Jiang Ning said, looking up and swallowing the last mouthful of food in her mouth.
“Five years ago!” Xia Shi’s eyes widened. “That long?”
Simon was also a little surprised. Their M412 Academy tested their abilities about once a month. Jiang Ning was from Planet M412. How could her last ability test have been five years ago?
Xia Shi’s mind reacted for a moment, and he asked in surprise, “Your psychic energy reached A-rank five years ago?”
Jiang Ning looked at him with a strange expression. “There’s no rank restriction for applying to the plant department.”
Although that was the case, Xia Shi always felt…
Xia Shi looked at her and tentatively asked, “So what’s your psychic energy rank?”
Whether it was a first-class, second-class, or third-class academy, the admission rank was basically A-rank or above. No one would pay special attention to whether there was a rank restriction, unless her rank was below A.
Jiang Ning shrugged. “I don’t know.”
“We’ll know after the test later,” Jiang Ning said.
The ability test on Planet M412 was not free; it cost 10 star coins each time. After Jiang Ning had tested it the first time, she had not gone again.
And to her, testing this rank was useless. Her psychic energy was very intuitive. As long as she had enough suns, her psychic energy would be endless.
“Then let’s go quickly. There will be a lot of people in the square later,” Xia Shi said.
The three of them put down their tableware and walked out of the third cafeteria.
Along the way, there were indeed many people heading towards Jinsha Square.
Students with flying vehicles all took them out. Those who knew how to fly also used their abilities to fly. The sky was even more lively than the ground.
At the very least, there were also shared cars in the academy, which were much faster than just walking.
For a moment, the three of them became the last batch to fall behind.
“These people are really something,” Xia Shi was speechless.
By the time the three of them finally walked to Jinsha Square, the scene was indeed a sea of people.
There were a total of twenty lines in the square, and each line had an estimated hundred or so people.
The few of them took a deep breath and lined up at the end of the third line.
“S-rank.”
“S-rank.”
“SS-rank.”
“A-rank.”
“…”
The testing machine at Semir Academy was much faster than the one on Planet M412. The line was constantly moving forward, basically one person every ten seconds.
As Simon had said, the psychic energy rank of this year’s new students was very good. The new students who were tested were basically S-rank, with a few SS-ranks mixed in from time to time. Even A-ranks were rare.
The teachers were also very happy with this situation.
With the quality of the new students this year, the school had a chance to become a second-class academy!
“SSS-rank!”
When this broadcast sounded, it quickly caused a sensation in all the lines. Everyone’s gaze turned to the testing instrument in front of the first line.
“It’s Wenren Chao, no wonder.”
“I didn’t expect him to come to Semir Academy to study. 3S-rank, wouldn’t he be a hot commodity in any academy?”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“…”
Jiang Ning silently listened to the few people in front of her talking. She turned her head and asked Xia Shi and Simon, “Is he very famous?”
“He’s not just famous. You know the Wenren family, right? The current deputy commander of the Federation is from the Wenren family,” Xia Shi said.
While the two were talking, another sensation came from the line.
“SSS-rank!”
Another 3S-rank ability user!
“What’s going on? Our Semir is really a battle of gods this year!”
“Semir, you’ve really made it. Even people like Wenren Chao and Weisheng Yu have come.”
“What’s there to compete for in the new student ability competition in a month? Just surrender when you meet these two.”
“You’re speaking too soon. In the current situation, you don’t even need them to act. Those SS-ranks can directly send you out of the game.”
“Why did I have to be in this batch? Wuwuwu.”
The few people in front of Jiang Ning were chatterboxes, talking the whole time. The content of their discussion was also updated in real time. Just now it was Wenren Chao, and now it was Weisheng Yu.
She thought this Weisheng Yu should also be a very famous person.
The strength of the new students this year was really too outstanding. Not only did the students who had finished the test refuse to leave for a long time, but they also attracted the attention of other seniors in the school. The number of people in Jinsha Square did not decrease but instead increased.
After queuing for nearly two hours, it was finally almost Jiang Ning’s turn.
Jiang Ning watched as the person in front of her stood before the testing instrument, placed their hand on the transparent small ball in front of them, and then concentrated on releasing their perception into the transparent ball. As a purple energy mass appeared in the small ball, the instrument light in front of the small ball also began to climb, until it was parallel with the scale marked with A-rank and no longer increased. Only then did the broadcast announce, “A-rank.”
The teacher in charge of guiding glanced at Jiang Ning. “Next.”
Jiang Ning followed the example of the person before her and placed her hand on the glass ball. In her sea of consciousness, she guided the sun into the instrument.
The indicator light slowly climbed past A-rank, S-rank, SS-rank, and slowly climbed towards SSS-rank.
“!”
The hearts of the teacher and Xia Shi and Simon, who were following behind, were all in their throats.
Xia Shi had never expected that Jiang Ning would be the third SSS-rank ability user after Wenren Chao and Weisheng Yu!
After Jiang Ning’s indicator light climbed past SSS-rank, it did not stop but continued to go up.
“?”
What was going on?
The teacher in charge of guiding narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be more than 3S-rank?
The indicator light reached the limit of the instrument, and the instrument began to flash a red light.
【Warning! Warning! The testing instrument has reached its critical value. Please withdraw your psychic energy immediately! Please withdraw your psychic energy immediately!】
Hearing this, Jiang Ning quickly withdrew her perception and looked at the teacher in charge.
The teacher swallowed his saliva and only came to his senses after a long while.
The ability test broadcast had a hidden version. The attention of everyone in the square was drawn to it. Even the students at the other testing instruments paused and looked at the front of the third line.
“SSS+,” the teacher in charge personally announced.
After a few seconds of silence, the entire square erupted.
“Holy crap, holy crap! Semir is going to rise in status on the spot!”
“It doesn’t matter if I can’t get into a first-class academy. My school can!”
“Which department is she from? With such high psychic energy, how come I’ve never heard of her before?”
Although Wenren Chao and Weisheng Yu were also 3S-rank, at least some people had heard of their reputations before. But she was like she had suddenly popped up. Almost no one knew her before this.
While everyone was guessing, the other two protagonists mentioned in the topic also appeared on the scene.
At the edge of the square, Wenren Chao and Weisheng Yu, who had originally planned to leave, stopped. If they remembered correctly, this was the second ability user to test for 3S+ psychic energy after Si Yuan of the Si family.
Limited by his physical condition, Si Yuan had 3S+ psychic energy but actually lacked 3S+ ability.
This person…
The extremely high psychic energy made Jiang Ning attract widespread attention.
People around her kept asking which department she was from.
Xia Shi came back from his shock. Facing everyone’s doubts, he stood up and said proudly, “She’s from our plant department!”
Xia Shi chuckled inwardly. Their plant department was also famous now.
But contrary to his expectations, after he finished speaking, the crowd in the square fell silent again for more than ten seconds.
Immediately after, a louder discussion erupted.
“Any ability would be fine, but it had to be a plant-based one.”
“What a pity.”
“I was originally waiting for her to carry the entire Semir. Now it’s all over.”
As everyone knew, the plant-based ability was quite useless.
The way everyone looked at Jiang Ning was hard to describe.
From being praised to the altar to falling, it was only a matter of two minutes for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning’s expression was calm.
The psychic energy test was still ongoing.
Jiang Ning waited on the side for Xia Shi and Simon to finish.
As expected, Simon tested for A-rank, and Xia Shi’s test result also showed A-rank.
The three of them did not stay in the square to watch the rest of the ability test results. The three of them prepared to go back to the dormitory.
On the way, Xia Shi and Simon were still discussing Jiang Ning’s psychic energy rank.
As the three of them were walking, they were suddenly blocked.
Jiang Ning looked up and saw a boy with a height of one meter eight, a handsome face, but dressed in black clothes and black pants standing in front of them.
“Wenren Chao?” Jiang Ning looked him up and down.
Wenren Chao did not answer. He looked at her quietly for a long time, as if he were thinking about something. He organized his words in his mind and asked, “Can your ability be used normally?”
“Of course,” Jiang Ning did not understand what he meant by this question, but she still nodded.
Wenren Chao’s brow furrowed slightly. “No restrictions?”
Jiang Ning thought for a moment. “I guess so.”
“What?” Wenren Chao hurriedly asked.
Jiang Ning: “For example, it’s unstable, and the plants might go out of control and hurt people.”
Wenren Chao paused, catching the key point in her words. “Your ability can also attack?”
He was a little surprised that a plant-based ability could attack, but anything was possible. There had never been a 3S+ plant-based person before.
“Yes,” Jiang Ning nodded honestly.
Wenren Chao’s eyes lit up. He asked Jiang Ning, “Are you interested in participating in the Federation Ability Competition?”
Jiang Ning’s eyes darted around. He was asking about the Federation Ability Competition, not the new student academy competition.
“Our plant department doesn’t even seem to have the qualification to participate in the new student ability competition, right?” Jiang Ning looked at him with a half-smile.
“I will let you join, as long as you have the strength,” Wenren Chao said.
