North Mountain High School, covering tens of thousands of square meters, is the sole high school in Mana Star.
Humans have already popularized university education, and citizens of the Galactic Empire are compelled to study until they graduate from the university to engage in official work.
However, miners are not full citizens of the Galactic Empire, and the Empire does not lose too many educational resources on them, and can only study until they graduate from high school. If you go to university, you must be extremely good at your studies and take the entrance exam and be admitted with a score a few tenths higher than that of an ordinary citizen.
There are two kinds of classes in Beishan High School. One is the key class, inside the class is the official citizens of the Galactic Empire. The sons and daughters of miners can also enter the fundamental class, but the results must be very good.
The other is the ordinary class. The class is the sons and daughters of miners, accounting for 90 percent of the total school population.
Xia Chen, a student in senior class XII, is also in line with the lower middle of the class.
The students''s performance is measured in two ways: on the one hand, it is the culture class, which accounts for only 30 percent of the total grade. On the other hand is the spiritual power level, which accounts for 70%. As long as the spiritual power level is soaring, it's okay to be a little bit worse in cultural classes.
However, superior spiritual power means more active brain cells and better memory and analytical ability. That's why people with extraordinary spiritual power generally do well in their studies.
For students in ordinary classes, the average psychic power level is 3, higher ones can reach 4, 5, and if they can reach 7, they can be promoted to the key classes and enjoy more excellent teaching resources.
Those who can't get into the fundamental classes are not qualified to take the college entrance exam. With XiaChen's level 2 mental power, in the eyes of his teachers and classmates, he is an object that can be abandoned, and even if he will repeat his studies next year, the possibility of getting into college is slim.
When Chen Xia arrived at school, it was still early and there were not many students.
"Hey, XiaChen, you're here so early today, it's not like your style!"
Xia Chen had just walked across the wide playground when a tall student with a big face and curly brown hair came up to him and tapped him on the shoulder: "Xia Chen. I heard you made quite a splash yesterday? Can you drive engineering mecha? Could it be that your mental power has reached level 5?"
This was Zhang Liang, the class president of his class, with mental power level 6, the best study in the class, with a chance to be promoted to the key class.
Zhang Liang usually never put XiaChen in his eyes, and never greeted him. Today he is indeed uncharacteristic is afraid that XiaChen threatened his promotion to the fundamental class, came to explore the mouth.
"That’s not the case." Xia Chen had a smile on his face and shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm going to the mech training, do you wish to go along to see. It's just as well that there's a mental power tester at the training ground to measure your mental power level." Zhang Liang still looked like he very concerns.
"Okay."
Xia Chen readily agreed. He remembered that there were trainer meshes at the mech training ground, which was converted from the retired military mess, and he had always longed for them but was not qualified to enter the mech training ground.
Xia Chen followed behind Zhang Liang and the two arrived at the mecha training ground.
Only when the spirit reaches level 5 or above can be the mecha training ground be used. Students who have not reached level 5 want to observe it. Willing to take his cue from others.
Zhang Liang took out his student card and swiped it. The electronic door opened, and the two walked in.
Xia Chen in front of a square of tens of thousands of square meters in size, divided into a dozen terrain areas, each with a unique terrain landscape, there are deserts, mountains, snow, ice, swamps ......
"I'll take you to test the spiritual power level first."
Zhang Liang was very enthusiastic and took XiaChen to the testing room and walked over.
"Hey, Zhang Liang, who is this, a raw face, haven't seen it before. We have another student with mental power to level 5 in our school?"
Several training students also just arrived, saw XiaChen's face raw, curious.
"My classmate, XiaChen, the one who made a splash at the North Mountain Mine yesterday."
Zhang Liang smiled. "I'll take him to test his mental power to see if he's reached level 5."
"It's him!" The other students had never met XiaChen, but they had all heard about yesterday's events.
"To be able to pilot an engineering mech and walk out of the mine, he must have reached level 5, so what else is there to say?"
The other students all felt a hint of pressure; one more level 5 students would make it a little less likely that they would be promoted to a key class.
So, a dozen students in the training ground all gathered around, staring curiously at XiaChen, standing aside, all waiting for his test results.
Xia Chen stood in front of the detector, put a metal helmet on his head, took a deep breath to ease, and then pressed the red switch on it.
Tick! Tic! Tic!
"Test result, mental power levels 3."
The electronically synthesized voice reported a number, while the large screen next to it recorded XiaChen's various physical states in detail.
Once the test results came out, the students gathered around breathed a sigh of relief, and unsurprisingly, mocking expressions appeared on their faces.
"Cut, I thought how powerful! It's just a level 3."
"Yeah, it's already in the bottom 10 when it comes to our class."
"I thought it was a genius, but I didn't expect it to be a waste."
Level 3, how can you drive an engineering mech, it seems that yesterday was an outburst of character, haha."
Disdainful jeers came from all around, falling on XiaChen's ears like sharp knives piercing into his heart, making his fists clench slightly.
The students immediately lost interest in XiaChen when they realized that he was only a loser, and bored away.
"Cough, I didn't expect such a result."
Zhang Liang could not hide a smile on his face and pretended to cough: "Hey, don't care, these people are all this mean and snobbish, you go for it. I have to train, so I won't see you out."
After stating that, Zhang Liang hurriedly walked away, as if XiaChen wasted his precious time.
"Mean and snobbish, aren't you?"
Xia Chen looked at Zhang Liang's back, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Spiritual power level 3. This result was already out of his expectation, knowing that yesterday's XiaChen's transcendent power was only a pitiful level 2.
In just one day, it had been improved by one level?
With XiaChen's talent, this was impossible.
Moreover, what confused XiaChen even more, why was he able to manipulate the engineering mecha when he only had a level 3 mental power?
"What's happening to me, exactly!"
Xia Chen was in the process of leave, but inadvertently saw that there was no one in the trainer mecha room, it was empty.
There are two kinds of mache in the training ground.
One is the ordinary training mech, which is converted from the civilian mess and can be used by students with level 5 or higher mental power for training, but in case of damage, compensation is required.
The second is trainer A, which is modified from retired military mecha. All weapon systems and most armors are removed. Rao is so. The strength, speed, and flexibility are not comparable to those of civilian mecha. Only students above level 9 can manipulate.
There are not many students above level 9 in the strategic classes, and usually, only the teacher will drive it during class to teach.
Xia Chen walked quickly to the trainer mech. Palm touching the cold mech shell, can't help but fantasize himself driving the mech in the star sea galloping across the figure.
It's so handsome!
Military meshes are generally 6 meters to 12 meters, this trainer is considered short, only six meters high, the whole body is painted with crimson armor, the light shines on it, reflecting a splendid luster.
Four words "The Tang Dynasty Group" can be seen in an inconspicuous place on the back of the mech.
Tang Dynasty Group is one of the three largest consortia in the Galactic Empire and is extremely powerful. All of Mana's industries, including Mana's Star, are owned by the Tang Dynasty Group.
Strictly speaking, XiaChen's father and son are also the property of the Tang Dynasty Group.
This military mech is an assembly line product produced by the Tang Dynasty Group's mech manufacturing plant.
"Although I can't master you now, one day I will master you! I believe this day is not too far away!" Xia Chen touched the mech's shell and secretly swore.
"Who are you! Who let you in!"
Suddenly an angry female voice came to XiaChen's ears.
XiaChen's eyes looked over, a young girl in a purple dress was looking over angrily. Her pretty face was scarlet with anger.
Xia Chen hastily withdrew his hand. Explained: "I just touch."
"You can't even touch it. Take your dirty hands off of my 'Remnant Sun'!" The purple-skirted girl shouted.
