“Having the ability and this weapon is also a form of strength. Don't think I don't know that each of you went to your families to request custom mechs and weapons from mech designers. Isn't that the same thing the students from the Logistics Department are doing? Why are they allowed to do it, but others aren't?”
How could Teacher Wang allow his students to babble on and refute his words?
“Also, if you have any opinions, speak up! What are you mumbling about down there!”
Teacher Wang reprimanded the students until they dared not speak before he stopped. The aircraft was already nearing the academy. As Teacher Wang sat down, he remembered what Li Wei had said about the quota.
“That kid doesn't seem like someone who would make up an excuse just because he didn't grab a quota.”
Teacher Wang pondered, feeling that there might have been an oversight in Li Wei's case. How could a quota be lost just because the internet was bad?
“Back then, I thought that kid was being clever because he didn't get a quota. It seems that wasn't the case.”
Teacher Wang sent a message to the person in charge of the network security department at the military academy: "Check if Li Wei actually secured a spot in our class when the new students were selecting their departments this year."
Gu Yuchen from the Network Security Department received Teacher Wang's message and instructed his subordinates to check the records from that time. In this era, everything that happens is recorded. Even if someone tries to cover their tracks, traces will be left behind. It was effortless for their department to handle these matters, and they found the information quickly.
“Boss, we found it.”
Gu Yuchen came over and asked, “So what is it?”
This person told Gu Yuchen, “This student named Li Wei did indeed secure a spot in Class 1 of the Individual Combat department, but he was later removed, and a new person appeared in the list.”
Without further inquiry, it was clear that the person who appeared last had replaced Li Wei. Someone who could achieve this must have considerable standing within the Imperial Military Academy.
However, their job was not concerned with such matters. Gu Yuchen directly informed Teacher Wang of the situation.
Upon seeing the message, Teacher Wang glanced at Chen Xuan without speaking. Chen Xuan felt a chilling sensation at that moment.
In the Imperial Military Academy's principal's office, someone informed Tang Sinian of the results of the new student assessment.
Tang Sinian sat in his office chair, listening to his subordinate recount the ranking of the assessment. Upon hearing a particular name, he exclaimed in surprise, which was uncharacteristic of him.
“Meng Huai?”
Tang Sinian directly asked for Meng Huai's name. The one reporting to Tang Sinian was his assistant. This assistant, thinking that Tang Sinian had not heard of this student before, asked with a puzzled expression and then 'thoughtfully' explained to Tang Sinian, "Oh, it's like this, Dean. This student Meng Huai is from the Logistics Department, and her performance in the assessment was astonishing. It's rumored she's a B-grade perceptive student, but according to investigations, the mech she used was an A-grade mech."
Hearing this, Tang Sinian was even more shocked. However, he managed to maintain his composure and continued listening.
The assistant continued, "Moreover, in the assessment, she barely used her mech. The specific reason is unknown. But her companion said it was because the energy was too expensive?"
The assistant felt that this reason was somewhat far-fetched.
Tang Sinian asked, "How can one fight without a mech?"
The assistant honestly replied to Tang Sinian's question, "Um… fighting with a big saber?"
Tang Sinian remained silent. The assistant continued, "Finally, a Level 3S star beast appeared at the finish line within the assessment area. It was this Meng Huai who slew it."
“With a saber?” Tang Sinian’s question made the assistant feel that he wasn't like the usually stern dean.
But the assistant still answered truthfully, “No, that saber was broken by a claw from the Level 3S star beast. Then, Meng Huai borrowed another student's mech to fight the star beast, and in the end, directly slew the star beast, earned points, and achieved first place in the new student assessment.”
Tang Sinian nodded and casually asked, “The borrowed mech was also A-grade?”
The assistant shook his head, “It was a Double S-grade mech.”
Tang Sinian was so shocked that he almost slammed the table, but he held back. After thinking for a moment, he said, “After the new students return, let's conduct a perception test for this Meng Huai.”
The assistant nodded, “Understood, Dean.”
After the assistant left and closed the door to the dean’s office, Tang Sinian finally said, “Meng Huai, truly worthy of being Marshal Meng’s daughter!”
Although Tang Sinian looked down on Marshal Meng's act of abandoning his daughter, he still greatly acknowledged Marshal Meng's strength. Therefore, with Meng Huai's astonishing performance in this new student assessment, Tang Sinian felt that Meng Huai indeed inherited Marshal Meng's genes!
“However, what exactly is going on with this perception!”
Tang Sinian knew that when Meng Huai was at the Meng family, she had undergone a perception test, and it was B-grade. What was happening?
The new students were brought back to the academy. As soon as Meng Huai disembarked from the aircraft, she was taken for a perception test. The others were also very interested and followed to join the commotion. Seeing that no teacher objected, more and more people followed. Basically, all the new students followed to witness Meng Huai's perception test.
Meng Huai was led to a machine that tested perception. This time, she was no longer unfamiliar with testing perception. She directly stood in the machine, and the machine began to operate. The screen flickered, and finally confirmed: B.
“How can it be B?”
“Still B, what's going on with her?”
“It can't be B, how can someone with B-grade perception use a Double S-grade mech!”
Meng Huai stepped out of the machine and looked at the 'B' displayed on the screen without saying anything. The assistant who saw the test result as 'B' looked at Meng Huai with a constipated expression.
The assistant said, “Meng, did you tamper with anything?”
Meng Huai gave the assistant a look as if to say, 'What are you talking about?' The assistant had no choice but to say reluctantly, “Meng, how about we test it again?”
Meng Huai sighed and said, “Alright.”
Walking into the machine, Meng Huai thought about the feeling when she used her mech and then converted her soul power into perception. Meng Huai thought, 'If I don't give this assistant a satisfactory answer, will she make me test my perception all day? I should just finish it quickly.'
Then, all the new students and teachers watched as the machine's screen kept flickering, changing from B to A, then to S, and continuing to change.
Meng Huai had converted a bit too much soul power. The machine didn't stop when it reached Double S, paused for a moment, and then directly jumped to Triple S.
Everyone was shocked! These people, who were shocked by the previous B-grade, were now shocked by Triple S! But could it be the same feeling?! No!
“3! 3! 3! I'm not seeing wrong, is it Triple S?”
“It's Triple S, what kind of freak is this person, why was her previous test B-grade?”
“Can this person control her perception, making it whatever level she wants?”
This student, I must say, you've hit the nail on the head!
