Upon hearing the rating, everyone was taken aback. They had expected Bai Yue to receive an A or even higher, but instead, he received such a lukewarm rating.
All eyes turned to Bai Yue, eager to see his reaction.
However, the man showed no emotion whatsoever. He simply accepted the fact with extreme calm.
Bai Yue: “Thank you, teacher.”
The scarred man: “This was essentially a one-man show for you. Originally, we gave you a very high score.”
“However—” he changed the subject, “before releasing your pheromones, you didn’t consider the safety of the other passengers, and your aftermath wasn’t handled properly either. If someone hadn’t been there to help you, I think today, those omega students and you would have regretted it for the rest of your lives.”
Bai Yue remained silent.
He was aware of his mistake; many details hadn’t been considered. However, this also meant he would be more cautious about releasing pheromones in the future.
After that, there was a long list of names. The scarred man briefly evaluated a few and then closed the file.
“The others are still unconscious, so I won’t say more.”
Currently, only seven or eight students, including Bai Yue, were sitting in the room. Although the ratings varied, they were all considered satisfactory.
“You’ve worked hard today. Your seniors will take you to the temporary dorms. Get a good night’s sleep and prepare for tomorrow’s exam.”
Hearing this, Lu Ke’s face fell. He thought it was over, but there was another exam?
The college entrance exam was like a single-plank bridge for thousands; he thought getting into a university through special admission would be easier, which was why he studied so hard to secure that opportunity. Thinking about it now, was the college entrance exam actually a little easier?
Although the students looked troubled, the examiner didn’t elaborate on the specifics of the next exam, only saying that they would find out when the time came.
“Also, regardless of your rating in the first test— even if you’re excellent— if you fail the second test, you risk being eliminated.”
The students’ expressions were grave.
Although their ratings weren’t very high, this rule was enough to show the school’s strictness. Getting an A didn’t mean they were safe; they were all in the same boat.
“However, based on your performance in the first test, we have a bonus point system,” the scarred man said. “Mu Sihan and Bai Yue will receive 5 base points.”
Upon hearing this, the students exchanged glances. Although everyone knew both were very capable, why did one receive an A and the other a B, yet both received the same bonus points?
“The reason is actually quite simple,” the scarred man paused, “Both of them sensed beforehand that this was a test.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Sensed it was a test beforehand?
Both the flight attendants and the interstellar kidnappers had performed flawlessly. They were terrified and didn’t notice anything amiss. How did these two figure it out?
Seeing that the students still didn’t understand, the scarred man looked at the only A-grade student in the room: “Why don’t you tell us? What did you notice?”
Mu Sihan didn’t want to answer, but with the examiners and students staring intently at him, he frowned.
“The corpse,” he coldly replied.
The corpse?
Upon hearing this, the students simultaneously looked at the alpha student who had been “shot,” finally noticing the difference.
This person had no external injuries!
The gun in the “interstellar kidnappers'” hand looked like a laser gun, but it probably only had a hypnotic effect.
When the passenger was hit, he immediately passed out and collapsed in his chair. Everyone was too shocked to notice anything amiss, and no one would intentionally touch the “corpse.”
Except for Mu Sihan, that terrifying boy.
The scarred man looked at Bai Yue again: “You noticed this too, right?”
Bai Yue replied: “I only noticed it later.”
At the time, he only thought the passengers’ reactions after being hit were a bit strange and didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t until Mu Sihan fell in front of him and turned the body over that he noticed this anomaly.
Bai Yue: “This is the biggest flaw. But after discovering this, all the other contradictions made sense.”
The scarred man: “Other contradictions?”
Bai Yue nodded: “First of all, the airship lowered the sunshade after approaching planet D-312.”
If someone frequently travels by airship, they would notice this inconsistency— because it’s completely unnecessary.
However, he had only ridden it once before departure, and at that time he only felt a little uneasy.
“I think the airship had already landed by then. But you didn’t want us to see the people outside the windows, so you deliberately put up the sunshade.”
The scarred man remained silent, which was taken as an admission of this explanation.
“Also, after I shot the ‘female leader,’ she covered her wound. This action was probably to prevent me from discovering that she wasn’t injured.”
There were some other scattered clues after that.
The scarred man was somewhat surprised after hearing this. He hadn’t expected this student to notice so many details.
Each student’s grade was determined by multiple examiners, and now that he thought about it, their grade for this student might have been a bit low.
There was nothing else to do, and the students stood up and walked outside.
Bai Yue was about to follow when he was stopped. Turning around, he saw it was the fierce-looking examiner.
Scarred man: “Do you have any objections to our grades?”
Bai Yue: “No.” He smiled, “I’m aware that I still have a lot of room for improvement.”
Hearing this, the examiner’s expression softened a bit: “We have higher expectations for you.”
After hearing that a student with an “S” aptitude had been admitted through a special admission program, almost all the teachers in the school went crazy with excitement. The seminar even suggested cancelling the test and admitting him directly.
However, after discussion, they finally abandoned this idea. Firstly, it would be unfair to other students admitted through special recommendation; secondly, they also wanted to use this opportunity to see if this student truly lived up to his reputation.
The examiner’s lips curled into a smile. The scar on his face was thus stretched open, making his expression appear even more ferocious. But his tone was gentler than ever before: “I hope you can study hard at the military academy and undergo a complete transformation.”
Bai Yue: “Yes.”
The scarred man nodded slightly: “Go out.”
Bai Yue was about to leave when he was stopped again.
“Wait, there’s one more thing.” When he said this, the examiner’s expression looked somewhat unnatural, “You need to apply for a department before enrolment. I’m from the ‘Comprehensive Military Academy’.”
Bai Yue had already learned about this beforehand. “Imperial First” was divided into three major departments: Comprehensive Military Academy, Strategic Command Academy, and Pheromones Research Academy.
The Comprehensive Military Academy had the strongest overall capabilities, and its students had many internship opportunities, allowing them to go directly to the front lines. Therefore, it had the highest requirements for students’ overall strength.
Strategic Command Academy. Most students would belong to the Strategic Command Department in the future, providing intelligence reports and command advice to the front lines from the rear. It was the department with the most omega and beta students.
The Pheromones Research Institute. This institute didn’t have high requirements for students’ gene levels, but its students’ control over pheromones was unparalleled. Their strength lied in maximizing benefits with minimal expenditure.
However, he still had an exam to take, and the “application” was still a long way off. The instructor’s sudden words thus left him somewhat unsure of the meaning.
“‘Comprehensive Military Academy’ is the most powerful department in the Imperial First Academy,” the scarred man said earnestly. “You should know which department to apply to.”
Bai Yue understood. This was poaching.
But he didn’t reply, only offering a polite smile.
At this moment, the scarred man saw the female leader passing by outside the window, coughed lightly, and resumed his serious demeanor: “Anyway, good luck on the exam.”
