Chapter 121: Chapter 24 Searching for Xu Mo
Lin Xi and her companions walked through the academy with thoughtful expressions.
Dean Lin’s behavior was somewhat abnormal.
“Xu Mo, is it possible that the test results are higher than I anticipated?” Lin Xi asked Xu Mo.
Lin Xi, she predicted a B or B+.
In that case, the academy could help resolve the identity card issue, but Dean Lin agreed immediately.
“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded.
He could naturally sense it by observing the tester’s attitude, and he could perceive a thing or two.
He was not stupid.
“Could it be, A?” Lin Xi asked somewhat nervously, her heartbeat quickening.
Next to her, Ye Qingdie, Elsa, and the others were also a bit nervous, looking at Lin Xi.
Could it be A?
This year at Noah Academy, only two new students achieved an A grade in Source Power Fusion Degree, one of whom was even an A-, and their Source Power Level was not as high as Xu Mo’s.
If Xu Mo’s Source Power Fusion Degree were A, it would mean that he had surpassed all the new students at Noah Academy this year.
“Thinking too small,” Xiao Qi commented. “I guess Brother Mo’s Source Power Fusion is S, at the very least A+.”
“S?” Lin Xi dared not imagine that.
This year, not a single one among the Eight Extraordinary Colleges in Steel Dome City had an S.
The emergence of an S-level Source Power Fusion Degree would cause a sensation in Steel Dome City.
There shouldn’t be that possibility.
However, the possibility of an A+ did exist.
Around them, many students walked through the academy, discussing the events that had taken place at the opening ceremony.
Dean Lin suddenly leaving during the award ceremony for Ming Hui?
Lin Xi showed a strange expression.
It couldn’t really be A+, could it?
She glanced at Xu Mo, her heart thumping.
If Xu Mo were A+, then the future would be smooth sailing.
The academy would definitely not let him go.
Xu Mo also heard the discussions, showing a curious expression.
“I heard that the person who called Dean Lin away was a teacher from the Source Power testing area. Could it be that a new student who was late for testing has shown very high Source Power Fusion Degree?” the students had already begun to speculate.
This event happened in front of everyone; it was impossible to completely conceal it.
“Perhaps it was a new student who enrolled at the last minute? If it was a new student, Dean Lin should have known in advance.”
“If that’s really the case, who could it be?”
Curiosity!
Su Rou also walked through the campus, hearing the discussions around her.
Earlier, she had left later than Sun Xiaoxiao and the others, having seen Xu Mo going for testing until Lin Qingze arrived before she left.
Now, hearing the speculations of those around her, her heart pounded.
A?
Or A+?
Either way, it was remarkable. She was only a B.
Benjamin was an A.
Su Rou knew that it was not really a new student.
It was Xu Mo.
If Xu Mo were A, with his combat power, Xu Mo’s talent would not be inferior to Benjamin’s.
If it were A+, then…
Su Rou dared not continue that thought.
What if it were S?
This matter continued to ferment within Noah Academy.
After all, the event that took place during the opening ceremony had caused quite a stir, and the media reporters were also broadcasting live at the time.
Soon, rumors started to circulate in the academy.
During the opening ceremony, a powerful new student might have arrived, demonstrating an A level—perhaps even most likely an A+ level—Source Power Fusion Degree, which led Dean Lin to abruptly leave the ceremony.
Now, Noah Academy was searching.
Who was this new student?
Even, many students had already obtained the list of new students for this year, starting to check one by one.
They would dig three feet into the ground to find him!!
While Noah Academy was frantically searching for the individual.
Xu Mo and the others were brought to a secluded area of the academy.
It was very quiet here.
Lin Qingze personally led them.
He took Xu Mo and the others to an old building.
Lin Xi was somewhat surprised; this seemed to be the academy’s retirees’ area, and she had never come to this part before.
“Lin Xi, I will make arrangements for them, you can go back to work now,” Lin Qingze said to Lin Xi.
“Thank you, Dean Lin.”
Although puzzled, Lin Xi still nodded and said to Xu Mo and the others, “Then I’ll be going now, contact me if there’s anything.”
“Okay, Sister Xi, go ahead with your work,” Xu Mo replied.
“Yes.” Lin Xi turned and left, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
She had guessed that Xu Mo’s Source Power Fusion Degree would not be low; the whole academy was searching for him.
Xu Mo’s identity issue must have been resolved, with Dean Lin personally making arrangements, no need to worry about the aftermath.
It must be an A level Source Power Fusion Degree at least, the academy would definitely cultivate him.
Xu Mo no longer needed her to worry about him.
At last, she had resolved one of her concerns.
But what about her own family’s issues?
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn’t help but feel somewhat restless.
“Come in,” Lin Qingze led Xu Mo and the others into the old building.
It was very spacious inside, like a warehouse.
There were quite a few houses.
“This house is where the master lives, an elder of the academy who prefers peace and quiet, so try not to disturb him. As for the rest, you can live wherever you want,” Lin Qingze said to Xu Mo, “There are quite a lot of pieces of equipment here, although they’re rather old. You can use them as you please.”
“Since you aren’t official students, we can’t make normal enrollment arrangements, but living here in the academy will be very convenient for you in the future. You can attend the school courses, and additionally, I’ll arrange for tests for them. Depending on the test results, you’ll be assigned to study in different departments,” Lin Qingze continued.
“Can we study too?” Ye Qingdie asked.
“Yes,” Lin Qingze nodded.
Ye Qingdie was somewhat surprised.
“As for the identity card issue, don’t worry about it for now. You’ll be living in the academy temporarily,” Lin Qingze went on. He took out a small envelope and handed it to Xu Mo, saying, “Here are cards for entering and leaving the academy, and your accommodations outside the academy are all arranged. You can go out and stay there anytime you like, with no restrictions.”
“Thank you,” Xu Mo was somewhat surprised that accommodations had been arranged not only inside the academy.
Even outside the academy, they had been arranged.
This way, whether or not they had identity cards didn’t affect their accommodation.
“Would you like me to show you the rooms?” Lin Qingze asked.
“No need, we’ll look for ourselves,” Xu Mo replied, “Thank you for your trouble, Dean Lin.”
“That’s fine, then you are free to do as you please, go wherever you want. You have my contact number, just reach out to me if you need anything,” Lin Qingze said with a smile.
“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded, and Lin Qingze left the area.
Xu Mo glanced over there, feeling a bit curious.
“Who is the master here?” Xiao Qi asked softly.
“Not sure,” Xu Mo shook his head.
“Living in such a poor place, it must be pretty ordinary,” Xiao Qi muttered. Compared to Lin Xi’s home, this place was indeed rather simple.
“Right, Xu Mo, open it up and take a look,” Xiao Qi looked at the envelope in Xu Mo’s hand.
Xu Mo opened it, revealing several cards inside.
One of the cards was even marked with some characters that seemed to be the name of an apartment complex and specific building number.
“Han Garden, number eighteen,” Xiao Qi took a look and muttered, “Doesn’t sound too impressive.”
“Sister Butterfly, you keep it for now, we’ll go take a look when we have time,” Xu Mo handed the card to Ye Qingdie.
Ye Qingdie nodded and casually put it away.
If Sun Fatty knew their cavalier attitude at the moment, he might be so angry he’d spit blood.
This time, he had really gone all out.
He wouldn’t even dare to buy such a nice place for his own daughter, Sun Xiaoxiao.
The group walked around, finding the rooms not very large, but all very clean.
“Xu Mo, doesn’t the academy seem a bit careless?” Xiao Qi muttered.
“Having everything arranged for us is already quite good. Just a few days at Sister Xi’s place and you’ve forgotten the old days,” Xu Mo chided Xiao Qi.
He, however, felt it was quite nice.
After making their rounds and picking out rooms, they headed to the warehouse.
Just as Lin Qingze had said, the warehouse did indeed have a lot of mechanical equipment.
All sorts of weapons were present, and they were quite old too.
He also saw a very old-fashioned mecha, just like the ones he drove in the Underworld.
Xu Mo walked up to a mecha. The mecha was dark in color, holding a black War Saber as if it were a monster.
An elder was cleaning the mecha, making it very clean, without a speck of dust.
The mecha was quite damaged in several places.
“This old mecha must have seen many battles,” Xu Mo murmured as if he could see an ancient warrior.
“Do you know how to pilot a mecha?” the elder cleaning up asked Xu Mo.
Xu Mo sized up the elder. This man was very ordinary, unremarkable, and wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.
“Fairly,” Xu Mo nodded. “Can this mecha still be used?”
“Yes,” the elder nodded.
Xu Mo opened the cockpit of the mecha and climbed in, finding to his surprise that the mecha could still start up and had energy stored inside.
“Bang, bang…” Xu Mo took steps, controlling the mecha as it deftly swung the War Saber, very agile.
The elder looked at Xu Mo and then walked over to another silver-colored mecha nearby and entered its control chamber.
The mecha powered up, facing Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was taken aback.
“Try it,” the voice of the elder came from the silver mecha.
“Be careful, Elder,” Xu Mo said and then the black mecha, turned into a ferocious monster, charged at the silver mecha.
The silver mecha stood firm, without even a weapon in hand, ready for battle.
“Bang.”
There was a loud noise as the black mecha slashed fiercely with its War Saber at the silver mecha.
But the silver mecha dodged with an incredibly subtle movement, showing none of the clumsiness typical of a mecha, almost like a human’s movement, extremely well-coordinated.
With quick reflexes, Xu Mo’s saber slashed horizontally.
A sound rang out as his swinging arm was blocked by the other’s left arm, then the silver mecha leaned forward.
“Boom…”
The black mecha was directly knocked back, retreating repeatedly.
In the mecha, Xu Mo’s pupils constricted as he stared ahead.
He had encountered a skilled elder.
Behind him, Ye Qingdie and the others were also startled.
After all, Xu Mo had never lost a mecha battle.
In the Underworld, he had cleared through it all with a single mecha.
But now, he had been repelled by an old man.
Truly fitting for the Extraordinary Academy.
Even a random cleaner was this powerful!
