With a sound of "yeah", the outer door of the lounge was pushed open, and a young man with messy hair walked in. His skin was pale and there were deep shadows under his eyes, which were the signs of staying up late for a long time.
"Is Jack back?"
"Um."
"You've been staying up late in the lab doing research again. Alas, your health will collapse if you continue like this." One of the students asked with a little concern.
"Thank you." Jack answered simply, then walked to his door, took out the key from his arms to open the door, and then hid in someone's bedroom.
Since his roommate has graduated and there will be no new people moving in this year, he lives alone.
After returning to the room, he first took off his clothes, then went to the bathroom, turned on the shower head, and bathed in the steaming hot water.
The warm water flowed through his body. He closed his eyes and scrubbed his hair carefully. A soothing feeling slowly filled his heart.
He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had a chance to relax like this. Day after day, he went back and forth between the laboratory, classroom, restaurant, and dormitory, leading a repetitive and boring life.
Sometimes he envied those students who were relaxed and content, but he couldn't be like that. He was no longer a freshman or sophomore. The Emenas promotion exam was like a sword hanging over his head, making these stagnant students feel urgent and under tremendous pressure.
He has been stuck here for three years since he was promoted to the third grade. If he cannot be promoted to the fourth grade this year, his academic career will end here, and the school will only give him a brown certificate of completion instead of a white diploma.
Such an evaluation could hardly be called excellent. Generally speaking, to enter large institutions and organizations, one needs a dark green certificate of completion issued after the fourth year at least. After graduation, one can either enter an ordinary organization or work on one's own. The magic sequence is a sequence that emphasizes the inheritance of technology. If one explores on one's own, there is no telling how much time and energy will be wasted. As for the instruments and materials, it is also a considerable expense if one bears the cost by oneself.
The design of the last experiment was his last attempt, but unfortunately it failed. He no longer had any extra credits to exchange for instruments and materials. There was no progress on the subject, and his own strength also stagnated. This seemed to be the end of hope, with no way forward.
However, the mysterious man he met that night gave him new possibilities, a strange secret technique, and a strange seed of power.
As a result, most of the closed doors opened again, and the stagnant extraordinary core began to undergo strange changes. He finally advanced to Sequence 6 last night and stepped into a new world.
Is this what it feels like to have power?
Jack opened his eyes in the shower water and watched as the water droplets in the room suddenly stopped, hung in the air, and then swirled around him, his body becoming dry and clean.
