Chapter 83: Supernatural Power Practice Lesson (I)
The afternoon's supernatural power control class is not held in a classroom, but in an energy isolation venue specially built for supernatural beings.
Under the guidance of their homeroom teacher, the first-grade students came to a small white building covered with a blue glass cover.
The class teacher swipes the card to open the door and enters the first floor lobby.
The entrance to the hall is very similar to that of the library, with more than a dozen security scanner-like devices at the door.
Everyone followed the teacher's instructions, lined up in two teams, and passed through the security check machine one by one.
Then go up the spiral staircase next to the lobby on the first floor to the third floor.
The class for this supernatural power control course will be held in the 301 practical room in Area A on the third floor.
The head teacher still swipes the card, and the heavy metal door of the practical room opens from left to right, and the entire space comes into the students' sight.
The entire practice room is much more spacious than everyone imagines. Hanging on the ceiling are not light tubes, but crystals emitting a faint orchid glow.
The walls are not ordinary white walls, but are made of a special alloy material. The ground is also paved with special stone slabs that can absorb and buffer energy impacts. It looks very resistant.
In the central area of the practice room, egg-shaped machines are distributed in an orderly manner.
In the center of the egg-shaped machine, there is a huge suspended energy ball that constantly changes color and shape, surrounded by circles of transparent energy shields.
This is the training facility for extraordinary children to practice their superpowers.
The primary school students lined up to enter the practical room and each found an egg-shaped machine with their name on it.
Sensing the approach of humans, the egg-shaped machine activated and started, lifting the outermost metal protective cover from the bottom up, revealing the seat inside.
After the students were seated, a virtual panel extended from the top of the egg-shaped machine.
A faint blue light shines on everyone's face, and lines of various colors and waveforms keep jumping on the light screen, which can accurately detect the energy fluctuations and changes of the user when performing supernatural powers, and then transmit them to the central intelligent control console. The intelligent console gives targeted training suggestions and improvement plans based on the analysis results.
Everyone sat in the egg-shaped machine excitedly, touching this and looking at that. Everything here was full of shock and novelty for the extraordinary children who entered it for the first time.
The supernatural power control class is a compulsory course in the Extraordinary Children's Academy every school year.
To put it simply, supernatural power control is the control of a supernatural being over his own mental power.
All the extraordinary children know that if the mental power of an extraordinary person gets out of control, he or she may become a White Walker, so this course will be offered every semester before they graduate from the School for Extraordinary Children.
The course schedule is generally divided into theoretical classes + practical classes, with the first semester being theoretical classes and the second semester being practical classes.
In last semester’s courses, every elementary school student has learned the definition and classification of superpowers, as well as the different types of superpowers.
The supernatural power control class in the second semester of the first grade is practical teaching based on theory.
After all the children were seated, not long after, the metal door opened for the second time. Standing at the door was a young man wearing a dark blue military uniform, black boots, and a rapier slung across his waist.
The head teacher introduced: "This is the external lecturer specially invited by the school from the Supernatural Administration Bureau, the captain of the fourth team of the Supernatural Administration Bureau's law enforcement department, and also an outstanding graduate of our Supernatural Children's Academy, Captain Jiang Qian'an. Everyone applaud and welcome him."
Warm applause broke out, and every child stretched their neck to see Jiang Qian'an himself standing at the door.
As extraordinary children, they are no strangers to the Extraordinary Administration Bureau, and are even more familiar with the name of the Fourth Law Enforcement Team under the Extraordinary Administration Bureau.
As the most powerful combat unit of the Supernatural Administration, the Fourth Law Enforcement Team has solved countless incidents involving supernatural beings since its establishment.
No one expected that the school could invite Captain Jiang to be their external lecturer, which made all the children look forward to the upcoming courses.
Surrounded by scorching gazes, Jiang Qianan walked to the center of the egg-shaped machines, pushed up his shallow-framed glasses, and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Qianan, and I'm honored to be an external lecturer for the first-year supernatural power practical course."
Jiang Qian looked around, his eyes lingering on each student's face for a moment, and then continued:
“Over the next semester, we will explore the mystery of superpowers together. I know that each of you has unique abilities that are a mark of your uniqueness. Our task is to not only explore the potential of these abilities, but also learn how to use them safely and responsibly.
First of all, I want to emphasize that superpowers are not a tool to show off or abuse. They are a gift, one that needs to be managed with wisdom and caution. In class, we will start with basic practices, learning how to perceive and control your abilities, and then gradually transition to more advanced techniques and applications.
The curriculum of the supernatural power control class will include theoretical learning, practical operation and teamwork. Theoretical learning helps you understand the scientific basis and historical background of superpowers, practical operations allow you to experience and master these abilities firsthand, and teamwork allows you to learn how to use your strengths in a collective while making up for the shortcomings of others.
I look forward to seeing your growth and progress, and I believe that each of you has the ability to become an outstanding extraordinary person. Now, let's start our first lesson - how to sense and control your powers. ”
After Jiang Qian'an finished speaking, he casually opened an egg-shaped machine beside him.
He placed his hand on the machine's display screen and operated it for a few moments. The surface of the egg-shaped machine began to flicker with a soft light. Then a row of energy slots rose in front of all the machines, and each slot contained an energy ball.
The primary school students looked at the energy ball in front of them in amazement and twisted around in their seats excitedly. They knew that today's practical class had officially begun.
"The first step is to successfully pull the energy ball out of the energy slot and move it above your palm."
Jiang Qian'an reached out to one of the energy balls.
As if controlled by an invisible force, the energy ball slowly floated up from the energy tank and then moved horizontally above his palm.
He showed the energy ball in front of all the students and introduced it to them: "This is an energy ball specially developed for extraordinary people. It is very sensitive to extraordinary powers. It will help us monitor and guide the degree of your ability control."
After the introduction, he dragged the energy ball with his hand and moved to the back of the classroom.
All the egg-shaped machines followed his footsteps and turned in his direction in unison.
The primary school students were surprised to find that a terrain sand table about 50 meters long had risen up in the back space that was empty just now.
The sand table not only has basic terrain such as mountains, rivers, and forests, but also simulated obstacles such as fences, trenches, ruins, and even some dynamic elements such as simulated water flow and wind direction.
It was the first time for everyone to see such a large simulation sand table. Their interest was immediately piqued and they all exclaimed that the school had invested a lot of money in it.
Jiang Qian'an faced all the students and stood in front of the sand table.
With a slight movement of his fingers, the energy ball above his palm automatically floated to the starting point marked on the sand table without wind.
"The second step," he said, "is that you need to control the energy ball to move from the starting point to the end point of the sand table. Not only do you have to cross the obstacles in the middle, but you cannot touch the energy ball directly with your hands during the whole process. You can only use your supernatural powers to control its movement."
He infused his superpowers into the energy ball, which disappeared at the starting point as fast as lightning, crossed countless different obstacles, and finally stayed intact at the finish line at the other end.
At the same moment when the energy ball crossed the finish line, a record suddenly popped up on the big screen at the front of the classroom, surpassing countless historical records and topping the list.
[Jiang Qian'an, speed 5'08 seconds, ranked first. 】
The students were all stunned.
"Wow, that's amazing."
“It took just over five seconds to complete.”
"Is this the strength of the captain of the law enforcement team?"
"I'm afraid no one will be able to break this record in the short term."
They excitedly exchanged their thoughts with each other, looking at Jiang Qian'an with undisguised admiration.
Jiang Qian'an calmly enjoyed the admiration of the little kids. After the demonstration, he would start arranging today's teaching tasks.
"Now, please follow the steps I just showed you and start today's supernatural power practice." He thought for a moment and added, "The student who reaches the finish line in the shortest time will get the highest score in today's class."
This sentence completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire class. Who doesn’t want to be in the limelight in front of their idol?
Fight to the death to get the highest score!
The primary school students were like chickens with their blood pumped up, sharpening their knives and rushing towards the energy ball.
"It's just controlling an energy ball, how difficult can it be?" Zhang Dongyang couldn't help but mutter as he looked at his classmates who were full of enthusiasm.
He didn't think Jiang Qian'an was that powerful. His master would always be the most powerful.
It’s just that the master is too low-key and doesn’t bother to compete for the first place.
Zhang Dongyang decided to maintain the fine traditions of his school and just get an average grade in the supernatural power practice course this semester. There was no need to compete with other students for the highest score.
He reached out to the energy ball and started attacking.
It’s just using supernatural powers to move an energy ball. It’s that simple. The get out of class can be over in minutes.
As a result, in less than ten seconds, he was slapped in the face.
I didn't realize it when I just watched the teacher operate it, but when I actually tried it, I found out how difficult it was.
This, this, this energy ball doesn't obey him at all.
Jiang Qian'an's statement that this energy ball was very sensitive to supernatural powers was already a euphemism. Zhang Dongyang felt that this energy ball was extremely sensitive to supernatural powers, because as soon as he injected energy into the ball, the ball took off in a Thomas spiral, rushed above his forehead, and then exploded.
“Cough cough cough…”
Zhang Dongyang never expected that the energy ball would explode. His entire head was covered by the black smoke from the explosion of the energy ball, and he began to cough violently.
Some children were even more miserable. Some had energy balls flying directly at their faces, some exploding in their palms, some exploding in the energy tanks... the number was countless.
For a while, explosions and coughs were heard one after another in the practice room.
Jiang Qian belatedly reminded, "Superpower fluctuations will cause the energy ball to be unstable, resulting in energy collapse. But don't worry, the energy in this energy ball is extremely weak and won't cause any harm to you."
In short, although the smoke looks scary, it will only make you look dirty and dusty at most.
After the smoke cleared, Zhang Dongyang raised his black face and exhaled a puff of black smoke.
Sure enough, what the teacher said was right. The energy ball was indeed not very harmful. He was not so close to the energy ball, and the energy ball did not have any effect on him.
But the damage is not great, it is extremely insulting.
All of a sudden, many panda monsters appeared in the laboratory.
The panda monsters look at each other.
Looking at the black smoke on the other person's face, I found it funny at first, and then I thought that I looked like this in the other person's eyes. My smile froze on my face halfway through, and suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore.
We are both wanderers in this world, and we are the same.
Everyone is at the same level, so don't laugh at anyone else.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the classroom was a little off, Jiang Qian pushed up his shallow-framed glasses and reassured his classmates, "There are also skills to manipulating the energy ball. Just try a few more times and you will find the way."
Then everyone suddenly realized.
No wonder there are so many energy balls in front of each person, it turns out it’s because it’s unlikely to succeed in one go.
After hearing Jiang Qian'an's words, some children became eager to try again, but some children seemed to be frightened by the explosion just now. They curled up in the egg-shaped machine and refused to touch the energy ball in front of them.
Zhang Dongyang glanced at the energy ball in front of him and cautiously did not inject any more extraordinary energy.
He wanted to see how others did it first.
He looked at Mu Ziye next door and found that he also looked dusty and dirty, and a hint of laughter flashed through his heart.
Looking at Qi Yu on the opposite side, he also had a look as if facing a formidable enemy, with a frown on his face.
Zhang Dongyang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
It turns out that even top students can fail sometimes. It seems that this superpower practical course is really too difficult.
He turned around and complained to Li Pingan next to him: "Junior sister, this class is really too difficult. How can I float the energy ball onto my palm in one go?"
Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and he couldn't utter a word.
On his right, Li Ping'an was looking straight ahead with full concentration.
Directly in front of her, with her palm facing upward, a ball of energy floated there obediently, as quiet as a chicken.
Zhang Dongyang, as quiet as a chicken: Who am I? Where am I? What did I see?
Li Pingan even had the energy to turn around and look at Zhang Dongyang while operating the energy ball. "Brother, what did you just say?"
Zhang Dongyang wiped the black dust off his face, swallowed his saliva and said, "No, nothing, little junior sister, I just wanted to say that this energy ball doesn't look that difficult to operate, hehe, hehe, hehehe..."
He tried to hide his embarrassment with laughter.
Unexpectedly, Li Pingan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He nodded in agreement and said, "It's quite simple."
Zhang Dongyang: …
It's just, outrageous.
He appeared calm on the surface, but was roaring in his heart: No way!
Junior sister, look at Qi Yu and Mu Ziye, they both failed, okay?
The operation of supernatural powers is not as simple as you said!
You think you are the odd one out, okay?
Maybe he sensed the complaints in his heart, but Li Pingan actually turned his head to look in Qi Yu's direction, and then exclaimed: "As expected of Qi Yu, he found the trick to controlling the energy ball so quickly."
Zhang Dongyang turned his head suddenly and widened his eyes.
Although Qi Yu was sweating profusely, he successfully guided the energy ball to his palm.
Although the energy ball obviously looked unstable, at least it did not explode or soar into the sky, which was considered half successful.
Zhang Dongyang was speechless.
But then, he thought, that was Qi Yu.
Qi Yu is the oldest one.
He took a deep breath and comforted himself, "It doesn't matter. Qi Yu is awesome. He is so smart, so success is inevitable."
We should not compare ourselves with the top students.
He ignored Qi Yu and looked at Mu Ziye hopefully.
Well, there are many people at the same level as him. People like Junior Sister and Qi Yu are a minority.
Sure enough, in just a short while, Mu Ziye's face became darker, and the number of energy balls in front of him also decreased.
It seemed that he had been trying to control the energy ball over and over, but failed without exception.
Zhang Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that controlling the energy ball was not that easy.
But when he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not notice that although Mu Ziye failed every time, the energy ball was getting closer and closer to his palm, and its state was becoming more and more stable.
Although they have failed countless times, they have learned from their previous mistakes every time and will not make the same mistake next time.
He failed again and again, and tried again and again.
Finally, when the energy ball in the energy tank was almost exhausted, he successfully led the energy ball to the top of his palm.
Jiang Qi'an, who was passing by Mu Ziye, saw his performance and nodded in praise: "Not bad, failure is the mother of success. No matter when, you must have the courage to try. It seems that the students in your class have strong learning abilities."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked into the eyes of Zhang Dongyang, whose palms were empty.
If I remember correctly, this seems to be the child of Director Zhang.
Jiang Qian'an walked up to Zhang Dongyang, wanting to praise him.
But look at his left, that’s Mu Ziye, a man who lacks talent but makes up for it with hard work.
Look to his right, that is Li Pingan, a natural genius who successfully manipulated the energy ball in one try.
Looking across from him was Qi Yu, the top student in the grade who had found the trick immediately after failing once.
The words of praise were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them.
He racked his brains and could only come up with four dry words: "Keep working hard."
Then he patted Zhang Dongyang on the shoulder and walked away with heavy steps.
Zhang Dongyang, who was somewhat confused by his words, looked around and found that the energy balls shining in the palms of his classmates were so dazzling that he could hardly open his eyes.
What, what’s going on?
How did they all succeed?
Zhang Dongyang realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly.
etc!
What did the teacher just say?
Is he spurring me on or warning me?
No, no way, I won’t be the last in this class again, right?
Ahhhhh!
Looking at the energy tank full of energy balls, Zhang Dongyang cracked.
