5 Are You Screaming 6666 At Me, Buddy? (1/2)
When Su Ying heard that she would be the first one to take the test, she was, in all honesty, very nervous.
It was actually normal. To put it simply, the feeling was similar to waiting for the release of examination results. If you had a high score, you would rise to the top. If you had a low score, you would be left out in the crowd. Everyone wished for a high score. After all, doing well in the assessment would greatly benefit them in the future.
That was why, after having fallen into a slight daze, Sun Ying breathed in deeply and said, ”Okay.”
Looking at her walk toward the platform, Hong Xiaofu could feel her anxiousness.
She walked quite slowly, taking a full twelve seconds to walk the distance which could have easily been covered in a few seconds. Su Ying stood below the platform and looked at the equipment that Mr Li Hong was holding on to. She was so nervous that her hands were trembling as she raised them.
There was no way to be calm. It was a moment of truth. Once you were discovered to be ungifted, you would lose confidence in yourself and in the future.
A row of fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Ying's forehead. She lifted her hands, but she was too afraid to place them onto the equipment.
Hong Xiaofu who was seated just below the platform, shouted.
”Fighting level, level nine!”
The students in the class were dumbfounded for a moment. Then, they suddenly burst into laughter.
”Hahahaha! Our mascot is encouraging!”
”No problem! This scene is perfect for the occasion!”
”Fighting level, level nine, Xiao Xuner -- is that you?”
After hearing all that commotion, Su Ying could not help but laugh along.
That guy was pretty good at comforting people.
He was right, she just had to treat it as a game. She had to face it no matter what, so what was there to be nervous about?
After rationalizing her thoughts, Su Ying clenched her teeth and pressed her hands onto the equipment.
Immediately —
”Beep beep beep, score: 97. You are merely one step away from being Awakened, good luck!”
After hearing the news, Su Ying was in shock. Her eyes shot wide open.
Her score for the Awakener's potential was as high as 97! At that rate she would be Awakened soon!
In that moment, Su Ying felt her heart beating fast, as if it was going to jump out of her chest. She was sweating cold and her mind was blank.
The noises in the background started to subside slowly, before everything fell into silence. There was extreme peacefulness. The world was in dazzling brightness.
Everything was so natural, so intimate.
Her classmates, caring teachers, the breeze outside the window, the sunlight bouncing off the ground...
All of a sudden, someone screamed, ”Look! Frost, it's frost!”
Everyone looked at it carefully. Suddenly, mist was forming around Su Yin.
Then…
…a few snowflakes appeared!
”Su Ying… Su Ying has awakened!”
”Oh my god, this is the strongest Awakening in the Elemental System. Su Ying was going to succeed!”
She looked at both her hands and listened to her classmates, who were in awe. Su Ying was stunned. She suddenly raised her right hand, and saw a ball of snowflakes forming on her palm.
It was like a mini snowstorm was slowly revolving.
”I… I have been Awakened?” Su Ying could not even believe it herself.
”You have been Awakened, definitely!” Li Hong was slightly taken aback, but he quickly responded, ”Congratulations to Su Ying's Awakening! Come, come, Su Ying! Let's carry on with another test to determine the position of your gene sequence LV1!”
”O--okay.”
