The last day of August is the day for the selection and assessment of super-powered people.
According to the awakening probability of about 0.2%, a new group of super-powered people will be selected in Hope City every year.
However, not everyone's abilities are suitable for frontal combat or field work. Some people with abilities that are inclined towards production and research will be pushed from the army to research institutes and factories.
And now, there are a total of fifteen people who are undergoing the screening for combat super-powered people together with Shi Jin.
Because Shi Jin had not shown any talent in any relevant areas before awakening, nor had she made any headway in the test of her abilities, the young people who took the test in the same group with her were generally two or three years younger than her.
If these people can pass the selection and become direct super-powered people, and then work with their own team for a period of time, they will be qualified to be called young talents and become the backbone of this city's future.
After the previous warm-up, Shi Jin had already seen how these young super-powered people with special skills (not in a derogatory sense) fought.
Among these people, there are three who Shi Jin thinks have a greater chance of defeating him in a head-on fight.
One of the three people can make the ground grow spikes with a hardness between hard soil and stone, one can heat the surrounding air, and the other can emit strong light around.
Construction workers, hot packs, and flash bombs.
Shi Jin had already given the three people nicknames in his mind.
After a period of training, she has correctly recognized the strengths and weaknesses of her abilities.
[Evanescent] As an ability that can accelerate oneself, it has a natural advantage in situations such as shooting and fighting.
But at the same time, there are some disadvantages that time acceleration cannot make up for.
For example, the three people that Shi Jin paid special attention to all have the ability to launch area attacks around them.
Faced with this skill that has no blind spots, Shi Jin really doesn't have a very useful solution. If she really encounters it in battle, she can only pray that her reaction is faster than her opponent's.
Just as Shi Jin was immersed in the battle in her mind, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation from the vibration of her collar, and Fran's quirky voice reached her ears:
"Are you ready? Why are you distracted?"
Shi Jin was shocked. During this period, Fran's disguise ability was getting better and better. As long as the other party didn't speak, she couldn't tell at all.
Not wanting to say that he was fantasizing about PVP in his mind, Shi Jin rolled his eyes and explained:
"With such a large venue, will there be a lot of people watching? I'm a little nervous."
It was understandable that she would ask this question. At this time, there were several rows of fixed chairs with raised heights around the selection venue, making it look like being in the center of a circular stadium.
At this moment, there was almost no one in the thousands of seats around except for the staff coming and going, as if a large number of spectators had not entered the venue.
"You think too much."
There was a hint of helplessness in Fran's voice:
"Everyone has a job, so don't you have a lot of free time? Who would have time to watch such a boring selection?
"Besides the superpower teams that have signed up to recruit new members from among you, no one else will come to watch."
As he said this, the left corner of Shi Jin's clothes slightly lifted up and pointed upwards:
"Your combat records will be recorded and saved by the surveillance above, but as long as there is no malicious incident involving you, these records will basically never be reviewed by anyone.
"So, don't think too much. Pay more attention to the young man with blond hair. You have to find a way to join his team. I have already told you the basic information, so I won't say more. Just prepare yourself."
After a few minutes, a group of people walked in from outside the venue one after another. There were probably about twenty people in their early twenties. Fresnel, Wang Xiao and others were in the middle and looked inconspicuous.
A man in his thirties with a short braid on the back of his head was chatting with Fresnel. There were only three people left in his team, and this time he came to add two more manpower.
Fresnel's expression seemed to be a forced smile, and he sneered at the captain's almost frivolous decision.
Going out to explore is a more dangerous task than fighting on the city walls. Fresnel felt that four people leading one was already a bit stretched, and three people leading two was simply playing with the lives of his teammates.
But he could also understand the captain's decision. If the team that was short of members could not find new blood to replenish it for a long time, they would be disbanded and placed in other teams that were not fully staffed.
For some super-powered people who rely on cooperation, such treatment is tantamount to a naked weakening.
But the good old man Fresnel didn't say anything too harsh in the end. Anyway, in terms of priority, the team of four missing one was higher than the team of three missing two.
No one could snatch away the player they had their eyes on for the time being. Looking at the reserve list of less than twenty people, Fresnel, who believed in the idea of "better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality", always felt that they might return home with a crushing defeat today.
Soon, the resumes of a total of sixteen candidates were sent to several captains.
If a psychologist from another world saw this scene with such a strong sense of déjà vu, he would probably complain on the spot that the boss was lying.
Like most captains, Fresnel quickly divided the list in his hand into three categories, placing those with strong abilities and good compatibility with the team at the front, those with strong abilities but low compatibility in the middle, and the rest that needed no explanation at the end.
After sorting the order, Fresnel handed the list to Wang Xiao who was sitting next to him, and asked him to check if there was any problem with the basic order.
The Fresnel team had briefly explained this preliminary screening before coming here.
At this time, the remaining three people did not show any confusion and took turns to participate in the sorting of the list.
The selection process mainly consists of two steps. The super-powered person simply demonstrates his ability, then the interested captain sends his team members to fight with him to see his level, and the last step is the selection process.
The list returned to Fresnel's hands. He looked down and saw that the first resume was of a boy who looked childish.
The superpower Xie Mingguang (number) has the ability to control the flow of air around him.
His best use is to blow away enemies at close range, and to stably control the airflow to make people or objects float and fly short distances, giving him a great advantage in terms of maneuverability.
There are two main shortcomings: low endurance and weak lethality of the ability itself.
From the perspective of rapid transfer, he is more suitable for the team, but... this person's defense is a bit low. If Wang Xiao chooses him, the pressure will be greater.
There are benefits as well. With his joining, the puppeteer can use his ability to carry the coffin of his true body, no, the life support capsule can float in the sky.
Safe, but not completely safe...
