Seeing that everyone was going too far, Zhao Bo and his friends couldn't stand it anymore; after all, they were their roommates.
Zhao Bo: "That's enough, you guys. We're all classmates, is it necessary to say such rude things?"
Ye Xingfan glanced at them, and the few who were talking the most enthusiastically shrank back.
"Alright, everyone quiet down. We're about to start testing your level. Get ready."
Xu Lingyuan, as a representative of the new students, carried considerable weight. Once he spoke, everyone fell silent.
Lu Manman was happy to see her classmates complaining, and even enjoyed making them hate her more. At this moment, she looked at them arrogantly, looking like a petty person who had gotten ahead by relying on a powerful backer.
She'd love for everyone to dislike her and force her to drop out of school. Ideally, they'd submit a joint letter to the principal; maybe then there would be a chance.
Thinking this way, Lu Manman became even more arrogant, acting like a complete scoundrel.
The students: ...What should we do if we feel even more upset?
Fortunately, the testing phase had begun, and no one had time to pay attention to her.
"Students, quiet down! The level test is about to begin. It's very simple. After you come up, first bring your computer close to the test panel, then put your right hand into the groove of the test panel, and finally concentrate and press down with all your might. After the test, go down and don't linger. Keep the order."
"Now, one class at a time, starting with Mech A1 class. Please come up in an orderly fashion."
Following instructions, Lu Manman went up on stage with everyone, brought her light computer close to the test panel, placed her hand on it, concentrated, and exerted force.
The results came out quickly.
Name: Zhao Jianguo
Class: Class A1, Grade 13 Mecha
Mental strength: —
Mental strength: c
"How can you lack mental energy?" The teacher frowned. "Student, concentrate and calm your mind!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Manman pressed down again, focusing her mind and pressing hard.
There was still no result.
Lu Manman was also puzzled: "Teacher, I pressed according to your instructions, but this result..."
The teacher frowned even more. "Excuse me, student, please wait a moment and put your hand up first."
Lu Manman withdrew her hand in confusion and looked to both sides, wondering if she had no spiritual power at all.
His classmates who came up at the same time as him had already received their test results and gone down, and were already whispering among themselves.
The classmate, who had just been angered, couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Tsk! His physical strength is only C-level, and he has no mental strength at all. So how did this little dwarf get in? Just because he's short?"
"How could someone with such qualifications appear in our Mech A1 class? It's an insult to those of us who worked so hard to get into the school."
"If you ask me, the school shouldn't have admitted him. He seriously damaged our school's image."
Lu Manman nodded in agreement. That's right, she shouldn't have been admitted. But why didn't she have any spiritual power? Lu Manman felt a little regretful about her desire to become stronger.
The teacher fiddled with the test panel for a while, muttering, "It's not broken," then turned to Lu Manman, "Try it again."
Lu Manman swallowed hard, nervously placed her hand on it, concentrated, and pressed down firmly.
The mental strength section on the test panel remained completely unchanged.
The teacher murmured, "How can there be no level of mental power? Is there really someone in the world who has absolutely no mental power?"
Oh no, it seems she can only secretly use her powers to protect herself. The thought that she can't use the mecha without mental power, nor can she openly use self-defense methods, made Lu Manman feel extremely disappointed.
The teacher looked at Lu Manman suspiciously, then raised her hand and called to a student who was about to leave the stage, "Come here and take the test again."
"Huh?" Chen Cai was a little confused. Why did he have to come again? He turned around and saw a familiar face. Chen Cai was pleasantly surprised. "Brother Jianguo?!"
He was in Mech Class B2, which was a bit far from Mech Class A1. He had never met Lu Manman at school, but his father had told him that Brother Jianguo was also there and asked him to help take care of her if needed.
To be honest, he didn't believe it at first, but after hearing that a short guy had come to the school, Chen Cai was certain that Brother Jianguo had really come to the school.
"Don't rush to say hello, come over and try this machine. Remember to put your computer next to it when you try it out."
The teacher interrupted Chen Cai's attempt to reminisce, and Chen Cai obediently complied.
Name: Chen Cai
Class: Class B2, Grade 13 Mech Warrior
Mental strength: b+
Physical strength: b
The above results are correct, and even after the teacher stopped a few more people, there were still no problems.
This means the test disk is fine; the problem lies with Zhao Jianguo. The teacher subtly observed Lu Manman, clearly not satisfied with her small frame.
He then used the quantum computer to retrieve Zhao Jianguo's information, which revealed that he had taken the recommendation route. Could he be a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid?
Teacher: "Zhao Jianguo, go back and wait for news. We'll confirm it here."
Lu Manman nodded and stepped off the stage.
"Hahaha, he got kicked out, I knew he couldn't do it."
"I think his name is Zhao Jianguo. I didn't see him training this morning. He's really bad, lazy, and loves to show off."
"An incompetent general can cause the death of an entire army. If someone like him were to graduate from school, how many people would he harm?"
"Get out of Mech Class A1, get out of the school!"
...
As everyone got more and more excited, Lu Manman returned to her dormitory group, seemingly oblivious and even a little smug.
Walking down the street, listening to the gossip around him, Zhao Bo couldn't help but say, "Jianguo, can't you be a little more considerate? You've already aroused public outrage, can't you be a little more discreet?"
Lu Manman shrugged. "Really? I think it's alright."
Ye Xingfan looked at Lu Manman suspiciously, "You don't want to go to this school?"
Lu Manman nodded. "I don't want to, I really don't want to."
Thinking of the pointing fingers and whispers along the way, Xu Lingyuan tentatively asked, "Is it because of other people's opinions?"
"That's one reason, but there are others, such as knowing that I don't have the qualifications and I'm not worthy."
Ye Xingfan: "Then you should have just not come at all."
Lu Manman glanced at him. "You think I don't want to? What I'm afraid of is the mandatory military service after I refuse. It's a full 20 years. I don't know which heartless person made up that rule."
Xu Lingyuan knew this. Generally, being admitted meant that one had excellent qualifications. It would be a waste of one's talents not to come and learn systematically, which is why this rule exists.
"If you really have no mental strength, you should be able to apply to the principal for withdrawal from school. If the principal agrees, you won't have to serve in the military."
Lu Manman's eyes lit up upon hearing this. There was such a thing? If she could drop out of school now, that would be perfect. Lu Manman didn't want to wait a moment longer and looked at Xu Lingyuan with anticipation. "How do I find the principal? I'll go right now."
