Medical Report

Zhou Zhanying’s gaze kept shifting between the paper and Ye Lan as he muttered, “That can’t be right… could the medical exam have made a mistake?”

Watching the two men whispering so loudly, Su Lixiao grew impatient.

After all, leaving her and Ye Lan standing here under the sun waiting was truly unreasonable.

“What exactly are you two doing!?”

She stepped up to the table and slapped it hard.

“Bang!”

The strike was so strong that the computer on the table bounced straight into the air.

“Ahhh! My machine!”

Haiderui hurried to grab his precious laptop.

That thing was his life!

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhanying was left staring dumbly at his empty hand.

He hadn’t even noticed when Su Lixiao had snatched the file paper away from him.

“The way you two looked at him just now reminded me of those doctors’ expressions when we had our checkups.”

Holding the file papers, Su Lixiao returned to Ye Lan’s side and invited him to look together.

When Ye Lan heard that, even though his memories of that day were faint, he already guessed what the papers contained.

He gave a bitter smile.

“It’s the medical report, isn’t it?”

And it was his medical report.

[Name: Ye Lan

s*x: Male

Blood Type: AB

Physical Attributes: Strength: C; Endurance: C; Reflex: B; Toughness: C

Ability: No genetic markers of powers detected

Psionic Value: 0

Mechanical Modification: 0%

Overall Evaluation: D-]

“Ah? Just as I expected.”

Ye Lan looked at the numbers on the page and pulled a face like he wanted to die.

His lifelong curse was that he had no powers.

Seeing this report only felt like rubbing salt into that wound, again and again.

Su Lixiao, on the other hand, burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking.

She had thought it might be something serious, but it turned out to be nothing at all.

Catching her breath, she set the paper back on the table and told Zhou Zhanying and Haiderui: “His psionic value really is zero. There’s no mistake.”

The two men looked at each other, both realizing they had made a fuss over nothing.

“But…” Zhou Zhanying had wanted to say more, but after a moment of hesitation, he swallowed the words.

‘Even ordinary civilians usually have at least a little bit of power in their genes, don’t they?’

Ye Lan could easily guess what Zhou Zhanying had wanted to say.

Haiderui pulled out a stamp and pressed it onto the paper, then handed it to Ye Lan.

“Sign this, and your registration is complete.”

Ye Lan grumbled as he signed: “Seriously, couldn’t this be electronic? Paper is such a hassle.”

“Yeah, I agree.”

Haiderui also found it troublesome, but it wasn’t something he could change.

“This isn’t our decision. Blame the old-fashioned principal.”

“Principal?”

Ye Lan could barely recall what the principal of Soul-Slaying Academy even looked like.

His only memory was seeing him appear at the opening ceremony, give a long speech, and then vanish for years.

“Alright, next is the girl’s report…”

Haiderui had just started typing on his keyboard when suddenly his eyes bulged so wide they almost popped out.

“No way! This can’t be real! This… this… Old Zhou, you need to see this yourself.”

“Don’t panic, I can already see it.”

Zhou Zhanying’s lips twitched.

Standing right behind Haiderui, he could clearly read the data on the screen.

“My advice? Just accept it.”

“What are you looking at?”

Noticing their reaction was even more exaggerated than when they saw Ye Lan’s report, Su Lixiao leaned over curiously.

And when she saw the screen, she said casually, “Yep, that’s mine. Hurry up and print it out.”

Ye Lan was left off to the side, but he knew full well this was not a conversation for someone with “0” psionic value.

[Name: Su Lixiao

s*x: Female

Blood Type: O

Physical Attributes: Strength: A; Endurance: B; Reflex: A; Toughness: A

Abilities: Strength Enhancement · Type III; Mental Enhancement · Type V

Psionic Value: S

Mechanical Modification: 0%

Overall Evaluation: A+]

Ye Lan remembered her report very clearly.

Those outrageous numbers had once left his former self far behind.

The modern psionic detectors could measure most people’s values.

A score of “100” meant an ordinary human.

A score of “1000” meant a potential psionic user, likely to awaken an ability.

Above “10000” was difficult to measure, so instead the letters B, A, and S were used.

And the highest recorded grade was “S.”

“Wait a second, Old Zhou.”

Haiderui suddenly grabbed Zhou Zhanying and whispered, “I heard a rumor… among this batch of freshmen, there are two S-ranks.”

Zhou Zhanying stared in disbelief.

“Seriously? Our academy managed to land treasures like that? And two of them, even?”

“Ha!”

Haiderui rolled his eyes and pointed at Zhou Zhanying.

“Since when did you start being so self-deprecating? Your own strategic value isn’t low.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking about that in front of the freshmen.”

Zhou Zhanying quickly cut him off.

Once he calmed down, Haiderui looked at Su Lixiao and Ye Lan with a complicated expression.

“You two really are something else. One has no psionics, no powers, weak physique. The other is S-rank psionics, two abilities, and near-perfect physical stats. How do you even end up together?”

It was a blunt question, but understandable from a normal perspective.

Still, to some, it wasn’t.

Because the moment he finished speaking, in the bright sunlight, a chill filled the air.

Ye Lan looked toward Su Lixiao and was startled.

Her face had darkened, and her long black hair rose and spread of its own accord, making her look terrifying.

It was a sure sign she was furious.

Ye Lan rushed to take her hand.

“Lixiao, it’s fine. I won’t take it to heart.”

In truth, he understood Haiderui’s confusion.

After all, a useless nobody walking side by side with a dazzling genius girl—this was more absurd than a toad eating swan meat.

“Haiderui, stop talking!”

Sensing the surge of psionic energy, Zhou Zhanying instantly cut him off.

“Ah? Sorry, sorry!”

Haiderui realized his blunder, jumped up, and bowed in apology.

Su Lixiao was not a petty person.

She took a deep breath, and her hair slowly settled back down as she regained her composure.

Only then did Zhou Zhanying breathe a sigh of relief.

He turned and scolded Haiderui mercilessly.

“You really need to get out of your dorm more. Learn to read the room. Talk to people. Got it?”

“Eh? You might as well kill me.”

Haiderui muttered stubbornly.

That’s just the way I am—what can you do about it?

“But… this really is terrifying.”

He stared dumbly at the computer screen, marveling at Su Lixiao’s stats.

“Oh right, the printout!”

Suddenly remembering his task, he hurriedly pressed the print key.

When the paper was ready, he handed it to Su Lixiao like a nervous office worker handing in documents after a mistake.

“Hmph!”

Su Lixiao snorted coldly, displeased.

But she still took the paper, signed it swiftly, and passed it back to Haiderui.

“Now can we leave?”

“Yes! Of course!”

Haiderui jumped at her tone.

He quickly packed up his things, even dragging the table with one hand, just to dive straight into the helicopter.

“Whirr—”

Within seconds, the rotors began to spin at high speed.

The pink aircraft was ready to take off at any moment.
