Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 11

Shi Lang did not turn back to the gym after he left. To him, that girl was just a passing encounter. He did not want to give her any second thought. Soon, he came to Lucas’ room. Then he changed his clothes and got ready for class. Lucas was already dressed for the class when he got back.

The two people walked through the lobbies with their bags slung on their shoulders. Lucas asked, “What do you think? How strong is Jenkins?”

He was concerned about the upcoming bouts as well. Shi Lang replied, “Almost four-stars. However, this stage is a major stumble block. So it might take him a couple of years to get over it. So do not expect him to be erupting with power all of a sudden.”

Lucas nodded and said, “I do not think he will erupt with power, but he will have cards under his sleeve.”

Shi Lang nodded to this comment. It will not be possible to be the first student of the grade, without some cards up his sleeves. His family was also strong so the number of cards must not be less. He was also trying to figure out what Jenkins might be holding in the store.

Lucas said, “Lang, what is your strength?”

Shi Lang suddenly froze and placed his palm on his forehead. He said, “I forgot to check the strength reading in the gym.”

Lucas looked at him in surprise and shook his head, “I told you, despite all the brain you miss the crucial things.”

Shi Lang rolled his eyes, and said, “Will we not know in the physical assessment? What is crucial.” In his heart, however, he agreed with Lucas more than completely. After all, if any cultivator knew that he found a relic treasure and forgot to bind it with his blood for two lifetimes. He will become a walking mockery.

The two arrived at the class. After asking Rosa for permission to enter, they got inside. They were not late, the teacher came early today. This was her usual routine on exam day. She will come in early to help the students relax. Her method of relaxation was to go through all the main topics of the course.

Suddenly, she saw Shi Lang and said, “Classmate, you are here for?”

Lucas snickered and Shi Lang sighed. He replied, “HeadTeacher, I am Shi Lang.”

His words made the people who were burying their heads in the holographic books. The people were surprised to hear the same magnetic voice but the charm of the face was ten folds more. Shi Lang was handsome but never dazzling. At this moment, he was dazzling. Sensing the disbelief in everyone’s gaze. He took out his ID card and after letting his thumbprint be scanned. His details came up.

Rosa Blues was stunned, she still regained her composure, “Student Lang, you broke through?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Yes, ma’am. The accumulated tempering helped last night, and the barriers came down.”

Rosa nodded and went on to ask, whether he checked his strength. The boy told her what happened at the gym. The teacher nodded and said, “We will know in the physical assessment. Try not to hold back. Your true scores are kept confidential. Even the battle class cannot see it. Do not worry about the rest.”

Shi Lang was surprised when he heard that the battle class cannot see their scores. He did not expect such a thing to exist. If this was true then he can unleash his full strength. That said, Shi Lang sat in his chair and began to revise the main topics like the rest.

The clock on the wall struck nine and the holographic screens were locked. In the whole school, no digital device will work now. This was the school’s policy to prevent cheating. The exams were held the old ways, the ancient way. The school provided them all with a pen and paper. The question paper was printed with three sets, and every student got a different set.

Shi Lang gazed at the papers and he began to answer it all smoothly. It may seem like he was not strong, but he still used the sparse spirit energy to nourish his brain. He was a bookworm and had excellent grades. The reason was his understanding that only knowledge can make him grow in this future world.

After two hours the people finished the general exam. Next was an interval and a physical exam. Tomorrow they all will be sent to the Mech Arena, and group battle. The students all had a light and nutritious breakfast during break time and then they were taken to the gym.

The battle class had their physical assessment when the technology branch had their general exam. Rosa led the students to the gym. A special Invigilator was called from the army for the physical examination.

This time a middle-aged man was the invigilator. Rosa took a deep breath as soon as she saw this. She walked forward and performed a crisp salute, with her right arm bend from the elbow, the back of her palm touching her forehead. She said, “Greetings, Major Rackham.”

Jane whispered, “Shit, our invigilator is Titan of Salvador.” her words made everyone take in a deep breath. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Lucas said in a low voice, “What do we do now?”

Shi Lang said, “Keep Calm. Things are not always bad. He is strong but not prejudiced.”

His words made the people calm down. The middle-aged man wore an emerald green coat, decorated with lots of medals. A black hat rested on his forehead. He nodded at the salute and said, “Your students are ready?”

Rosa replied, “Yes, Sir.”

Major Rackham said, “Well, let me tell them the rules.”

Rosa nodded and gestured the class to step forward. The students came inside the gym and stood up in ten rows of five students each. The major gazed at them and said, “Your task is to defeat me. Defeat me, and you pass.”

His words were like a bomb on the people. This was totally unexpected. Even more than Shi Lang’s breakthrough.
