School hadn’t started yet, so there were very few people in the school. Chu Yan drove the hover car directly to the Academic Affairs Center, gave Qiao Zhiya a few encouraging words, and took him to the office for the grade-skipping exam on the third floor.

The teacher in charge of the grade-skipping exam had obviously been instructed in advance. Seeing them coming, he didn’t ask any more questions, and directly opened the door of the inner room as the examination venue. 

After Qiao Zhiya went in, Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu who stayed outside pretended to be doing nothing. After a while, they got together to chat about homework, holiday activities, auctions and what good things came out, and extended to festivals. After exhausting many topics, they finally landed on the matter around Chu Rong. 

He wasn’t aware that there were two more teachers in the office. One was immersed in checking the teaching equipment, and the other was checking the teaching materials with a list, as if they just came in for ordinary work.

–They were, in fact, both here in lieu of other noble families.

Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu pretended not to know that they were here being eavesdropped, and chatted as usual. Chu Yan first complained about Chu Rong’s worse temper after he recovered, and then Yuan Xiu hurriedly echoed, mentioning his lingering fears when he saw Chu Rong just now. He also exaggerated Chu Rong’s spiritual instability. 

The expressions of the two teachers changed again and again. After Qiao Zhiya finished the exam in advance and came out, they hurriedly pretended to have dealt with the matter and left in a hurry.

The theoretical assessment was followed by the practical assessment. By this time, Qiao Zhiya and the teacher had a disagreement.

“You want to skip the fourth grade directly?” The teacher was surprised, then frowned, and said hesitantly, “Based on your theoretical score, you are capable. However, for your practical score… you should be able to complete the mechanical design exam, but for the mecha manufacturing exams…”

“It’s okay, Laoshi,” Chu Yan stood up at the right time, put his arms around Qiao Zhiya’s shoulders to signal him not to speak. He looked at the teacher and replied with a wide grin, “Qiao now has spiritual strength, and can complete the mecha manufacturing exam. However, his spiritual power has just awakened, and he is still a little unstable. After the exam, he needs to suspend his schoolwork for a period of time to recuperate, so we will have to trouble Laoshi to teach us how to go through the formalities.” 

The teacher’s expression was a little confused, and he replied instinctively, “But even if you suddenly have spiritual power, the test of mecha manufacturing requires a spiritual power level of C level and above. The newborn’s spiritual power is too weak, and it may not be possible…”

Chu Yan patted Qiao Zhiya on the shoulder, and Qiao Zhiya understood, forcing out a little magic power and shaking it in the air.

The teacher stopped talking and looked at Qiao Zhiya blankly, as if looking at a monster.

Because of his current state, Qiao Zhiya became more sensitive to people’s emotional perception. Although he didn’t feel any malice from this teacher at this time, the overly offensive scrutiny still made him feel a little uncomfortable. Thinking of Chu Rong’s instructions, he hid behind Chu Yan’s back, avoiding the teacher’s line of sight.     

Chu Yan cooperatively helped him to block his body. He looked at the befuddled teacher, and his grin became wider. “Can he take the practical exam now?”

The teacher immediately replied, “Yes, I will take you to the practice building.”

After receiving the application for skipping the grade exam from the Chu family, the school decided to agree after discussion based on Qiao Zhiya’s current popularity and his own special situation. If Qiao Zhiya decided to skip the second or third grade, then the mechanical practice exam remains the same, and could be exempted, like many done before for similar situations. As for the fourth grade and above, the school felt that the other party should not be too greedy, so no arrangements were made.

Just now the other party asked to skip to the fourth grade. Because he was too surprised and the school didn’t mention it before, he directly explained the requirements for the mecha manufacturing exam according to the normal process, but he didn’t expect that the school’s previous concerns were completely in vain. This Exoplanet Native has actually awakened his spiritual power, and his level seemed to be not low.

He just flipped through his student card and knew that Qiao Zhiya’s physical aptitude was S, and Qiao Zhiya’s spiritual strength level just now was at least A or above. The combination of the two, plus Qiao Zhiya’s ability to easily skip grades… This is directly leapfrogging from a third-level disability to a genius?

Thinking about the consequences of publicizing this matter, the teacher couldn’t help but rub his arms as he felt a shiver down his spine. 

This Exoplanet Native has a large number of fans after the festival, and there were faint signs of being praised as a representative of the Native minority. This was why the school is willing to stagger the reporting time and arrange for the other party to take the skipping exam in advance. Now this representative had suddenly become a genius, and he didn’t want to imagine how crazy those fans would become.

After sending Qiao Zhiya to the classroom for the mechanical design practical exam, the teacher who had a lot of questions finally couldn’t help it. Heapproached Chu Yan and asked tentatively, “Student Chu Yan, student Qiao Zhiya’s spiritual strength is…” 

Chu Yan waved his hand lazily, and said indifferently, in a loud voice, “Laoshi, you don’t have to be so cautious. It’s just accidental that Qiao can awaken his spiritual power. When my Erge’s spiritual power went berserk, Qiao happened to be beside him. Then he was stimulated and awakened accidentally. Didn’t there have been cases where disabled students were guided by their parents to induce spiritual power before? So it’s not a miracle, Laoshi, don’t worry.” 

‘Is that so?’

If anything, the teacher became even more puzzled. He couldn’t help looking at the door of the examination room.

‘What kind of existence is Marshal Chu? To be able to help an Exoplanet Native induce spiritual power above A level, this is really…’ The teacher sighed deeply. He was very glad that he was now a teacher on Campus A. It seemed that Marshal Chu has really recovered. Some people’s wishful thinking was doomed to fail, and he’s here to sit back and watch them run around like headless chicken.

The practical exam ended successfully, Qiao Zhiya got an excellent result, and everyone moved to the exam room for mecha manufacturing.

Because the school’s original plan was to exempt Qiao Zhiya from skipping the third-grade mecha manufacturing exam, there was no preparation for the exam room. When everyone arrived, they were faced with a batch of materials that only fifth graders would be exposed to.

“The school won’t start until a few days later. These old materials were disposed of during the holidays, and the new ones haven’t arrived yet, so I can only take out these,” The teacher in the examination room said with some embarrassment, and then added, “Of course, because the materials used are a bit out of line, so the passing grade will be lowered accordingly, and you only need to get more than 60 points to pass.”

Chu Yan frowned slightly, considering whether to postpone the exam, and waited until Qiao Zhiya was given the appropriate ones. His spiritual power only appeared not long ago, and he hadn’t even dealt with the materials of the lower grades. Now he directly dealt with the materials of the fifth grade, so his performance might be dissatisfactory.

“60 points counts as a pass? Teacher, although he is an Exoplanet Native, you can’t let him go through the back door like this!”

An annoying voice suddenly came from the door, and Chu Yan’s thoughts were broken. He turned his head to look at the door, eyebrows raised. Standing up and fuming, he said, “Xiang Kun, why are you bothering us like an annoying fly? School hasn’t started yet, what are you doing here early?” 

“What’s wrong with me coming early, you are allowed to come early, while I am not?” Xiang Kun stood at the door like a finicky child. Holding his chin high, he deliberately said, “If I don’t come, will you succeed through the back door? Teacher! I want to supervise this exam!” 

Chu Yan was itchy with his shameless rhetoric, and retorted, “How can you supervise? What are your credentials huh? The test results are judged by the system, how do I go through the back door? Don’t talk nonsense!”

Xiang Kun didn’t know about Qiao Zhiya’s spiritual power, and he became more and more convinced that they went through the back door. He was glad that he had sent someone all along. Staring at his mortal enemy, he raised his voice and said, “I think you are guilty! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want with a little popularity. If you do this, sooner or later you will—” 

While they were arguing, Qiao Zhiya had already recognized the materials on the table. After double-checking it, he walked directly to the first material, put his hand on it, and started to use his magic power according to his memory. After a beep, the system indicated that the exam had started.

Xiang Kun’s reply was cut off by this beep. He stared in disbelief at the prompt “Using spiritual power to sort out, in progress…” displayed by the system. He couldn’t help but run inside, grabbed Chu Yan’s sleeve, then pointed at Qiao Zhiya who was sticking his hand on the material. He incoherently said, “What, what’s going on? How could he… Well, you still said that you didn’t go through the back door! You cheated like this and said you didn’t go through the back door! He has a third-level disability, how could he–”

“Let go, let go,” Chu Yan pulled back his sleeve with a look of disgust, suddenly lost his temper. He dusted off the non-existent filth on his sleeve, and said calmly: “What’s wrong with a third-level disability?  Xiang Kun, this is the examination room, please keep quiet.” 

There was another beep, and the first material was processed efficiently by Qiao Zhiya. The system showed a score of 100. In other words, Qiao Zhiya has sorted out the fist-sized material in just a few words, and the degree of impurity removal was 100%.

Xiang Kun, who had never reached 100% completion, stopped talking. He felt that his dignity had been dealt a devastating blow.

After processing the first material, Qiao Zhiya did not look at the results, but went directly to the second material and continued to process in an orderly manner.

The sound of beeping kept ringing. After half an hour, all five materials were processed. The system judged that the five materials were all 100 points, and finally took the average score, 100 full marks, meaning he passed with flying colors. 

The teachers on the sidelines could only gape, mind blank. 

After the results came out, Qiao Zhiya did not stop, but began to match the five materials according to what the bearded teacher told him before. After another half an hour, he withdrew his hand, looked at the teacher next to him, and asked, “Is my result satisfactory?” 

‘This is more than satisfactory!!’     

With the proficiency in the ratio just now, it was no problem for him to jump to the fifth grade! In fact, he could just graduate directly! 

“Passed! Passed with a full score!” The teacher announced excitedly. Looking at Qiao Zhiya with bright eyes, his voice softened a few degrees, and said, “Student Qiao Zhiya, I heard that you are a student of mechanical design? Actually, I think mecha manufacturing is more suitable for you, if you also like mecha manufacturing, I can…”

“No! It’s impossible!” Xiang Kun suddenly howled, rushed to the materials, looked at one and then touched the other. Then, he turned his head to look at Qiao Zhiya, from up to down. He shook his head, shook his head again, pointed at him, and said with a fierce tone, “You are clearly a third-level disabled person! How is this possible, you, you, you…” 

Qiao Zhiya opened his eyes wide. Xiang Kun looked positively indignant. His eyes turned red with unshed tears, his ears drooped down. He scampered and ran behind Chu Yan. His voice was trembling, and he whispered, “X-Xiao Yan… he’s so mean…”

Xiang Kun: “…”

Fuck!

Xiang Kun looked at Qiao Zhiya who was hiding behind Chu Yan with a distorted expression, feeling that he had been deceived! Why was this person who has repeatedly threatened himself with black stone violence, suddenly about to cry? Not acting like this!

When Chu Yan saw Qiao Zhiya like this, he knew that he was in his confused state again, so he quickly turned around and supported Qiao Zhiya’s shoulders to comfort him. Then turned his head and glanced at Xiang Kun, and took Qiao Zhiya away first, so as not to be seen by Xiang Kun. 

“Hey, why did you just leave? Qiao Zhiya, don’t you really think about changing your major?” 

The teacher still wanted to chase, but Yuan Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, sighed sadly on purpose, and said, “Laoshi, it’s only been a few days since Qiao awakened his spiritual power, and he’s very easy to be stimulated. Xiang Kun just now… I thought everyone’s discrimination against Exoplanet Natives had improved a lot, but alas. Laoshi, the exam is over, and we’re leaving first. You’ve worked hard, goodbye.” 

After finishing speaking, he caught up with Chu Yan and ran away too.

Immediately, only Xiang Kun and the teacher were left in the room.

The teacher turned his head to look at Xiang Kun who seemed to be strangled by the neck, sighed, shook his head and said, “Student Xiang Kun, even if you don’t like Qiao Zhiya, you can’t make him cry. It’s wrong to bully classmates, you… Alas.” After finishing speaking, he collected the materials and left.

“I… you…” Xiang Kun pointed at him and at himself, feeling that he couldn’t vomit or swallow his breath, and finally roared angrily, and ran back home with a ferocious expression.

After completing the procedures for applying a suspension, Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu took Qiao Zhiya back home.
