Astral Flower-Chapter 55: Attention
There were not many people who could use it and it was usually used in the academy. The closer they were to the middle, the higher the pressure would be.
The instructor had arranged it to be set to maximum of 2, which meant that those who could get close to the circle stone had to have mental strength of 2.
It was far beyond ordinary people.
"Cousin, are you going to stay in the periphery again?" Nan Xian Tang asked as he slowly walked forward. His mental strength was 1-5, which was relatively high but not very spectacular. In particular, not everyone had the blessing to have high mental talent, so this mental strength training was only done twice a week.
Nan Hua glanced at Nan Xian Tang.
The fake Nan Hua stayed at the periphery because her mental strength was only a bit better than ordinary people. She didn’t dare to step forward in case she would reveal her ugliness.
After all, she couldn’t possibly make them suspicious of her.
"No." Nan Hua had no scruples at all.
In the first place, Nan Hua knew that she had high mental strength and didn’t have qualms about showing off a bit of it in front of others. Besides, she did need to increase her mental strength in order to make her not look so suspicious.
"Alright." Nan Xian Tang smiled. "Just follow me."
Nan Hua nodded and walked behind Nan Xian Tang calmly.
There were also many other students who walked forward, adjusting to the pressure given by the circle device, but they didn’t manage to go far before they had to stop. It was not like they wanted to, the ball was giving them pressure more than what they could bear.
The pressure was not like physical pressure where they would feel their body heavier. Instead, this was the type of pressure that attacked straight to their soul and threatened their lives directly.
They didn’t dare to mess around.
The instructors had warned them that if they dared to challenge the higher levels without any scruples, the academy would not be held accountable should anything happen to them. Because of this warning, no one dared to mess around in the academy.
They were afraid that if they dared to play around, they would end up disabled or even dead.
Thus, they all measured very carefully in front of the device.
There were also faint circles layers on the ground that the school had drawn. This would help them to estimate their strength and made sure that they never moved up beyond their limit.
The test in Virtual World was more accurate and safer, so they usually used the reference there to practice in the real world.
"How do you feel?" Nan Xian Tang asked as he stepped to the fourth layer. He had been paying attention to Nan Hua while also silently running his exercise.
"It’s fine."
"If you feel you can’t bear it, you can tell me and then you should stop."
Nan Hua shook her head. "I’m fine."
Nan Xian Tang thought about the Virtual World. "Have you finally tested your mental strength in the Virtual World?"
"Mhm."
"What’s the result?"
"1-6."
Nan Xian Tang: "..." I’m sorry.
It turned out that the clown is me.
Withdrawing his gaze, Nan Xian Tang sighed when he stopped at the fifth place. He watched as his cousin continued to walk another few meters to the sixth circle and then stopped there.
For some reason, he felt that this should have been the case.
His cousin was tested to be very talented. If not because of that incident in the past, he knew that his cousin sister would have long soared and shine brightly.
He retracted his gaze and focused on practicing.
"Is that... Nan Hua?" Su Xin Rou was at the periphery and looked at Nan Hua, feeling rather dumbfounded.
How come Nan Hua is at the sixth layer?
Wasn’t she only at the periphery at them, who were only at the first or second layer and couldn’t step forward because their mental strength was not enough.
"What?" her friends also opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Nan Hua far away. There was a trace of jealousy deep in her eyes when she looked at Nan Hua, who was dazzling and calm at the front.
It was as if the scum she had always looked down upon was actually someone who was more capable than her.
She felt very uncomfortable.
Even though Nan Hua had good background, but her starting point was really low when she came here. This made them feel that it was good that there was actually such a scum and they were not the worst.
But after going round and round, it turned out that Nan Hua was actually better than them.
With such high mental strength, it was impossible for the academy to ignore her.
"She’s so lucky to be born from Nan Family," Her arrogant friend said, gnashing her teeth.
Su Xin Rou said nothing but her eyes also revealed envy from deep within. Who didn’t want to have good background and have everything easy in lives? But many of them could only watch it from afar.
Sometimes, other people’s starting point was the height that they could not even reach in their entire lives.
Nan Hua was born with mental strength of 1-3, which was the strength that many of them couldn’t even achieve even after years of training. Many of them simply had no talent and could only stuck at the periphery, looking at the people who were at the front of them with longing expression.
They didn’t dare to step forward and could only feel jealous.
...
Nan Hua’s result naturally attract attention.
A report was also handed over to Old Master Nan and the few teachers in the High School, detailing this matter.
Nan Hua’s head teacher was one of the few who knew it right away and when he saw the content, he rubbed his chin.
