Chapter 19

Teaching Building, Entrance C

"Over here, Xiao An!!" Chang Ningxi stood in front of the silver-gray metallic door, jumping up and down excitedly, waving his hands frantically to ensure he was noticed.

Just as Yang An was about to open his communicator to send a message upon reaching the teaching building, he heard Chang Ningxi's shout. He paused and immediately turned left to join up with him.

"Ningxi, morning." Yang An smiled and greeted Chang Ningxi. He hesitated when he saw the large dark circles under Ningxi's eyes. Then, he turned his gaze to the calm-faced Yavik, greeting warmly, "Good morning, Yavik."

Yavik was leaning against the wall casually, arms crossed, one leg slightly bent. Upon hearing Yang An, he lifted his gaze, his piercing red and blue eyes looking over with an inscrutable depth.

His light brown, semi-short hair was tied up with a hairband, with his bangs neatly pulled back, fully exposing his forehead, giving him a clean and fresh look. His expression shifted instantly from indifferent to a wide grin, his tone turning lively, "Oh, good morning, Yang An."

Yang An nodded calmly, well accustomed to the Omega's rapid change of expression.

Chang Ningxi, unaware of the underlying tension between the two, excitedly urged them forward. His steps were quick, his mouth constantly muttering, "Mental strength, mental strength... mecha, mecha..." His eagerness and joy were palpable.

"Have you tested your mental strength before, Yang An?" Yavik, walking beside Yang An, suddenly asked.

"I have," Yang An replied slowly.

"Oh?" Yavik said, "What level is your mental strength, Yang An?"

"A-level."

"Not bad. So, what are your expectations for this test, Yang An?" Yavik asked with a grin.

Yang An: Uh... That's a good question.

He pondered slowly, wondering how much he should lower his mental strength to avoid drawing too much attention while not hindering his future studies.

In the original novel, the protagonist had an exceptionally rare SS-level mental strength, along with an awakened S-level innate ability, hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of the Federation University.

Thinking of the protagonist, Yang An paused. Since the protagonist is already at Imperial University, the other protagonist is likely here too. If not now, then perhaps later.

"Double-A level," Yang An chose a middle ground. A-level mental strength could be tricky to manage in some mecha design practices, while S-level would draw too much attention. Double-A was just right; if he exceeded it, he could claim to have a tendency toward S-level. If he fell short, that would be perfectly normal.

Yavik raised an eyebrow, surprised by the answer, and said with a half-smile, "That's quite unexpected, Yang An." He paused, "Is this what you meant last night when you said, 'The tighter you grip sand, the more it slips through your fingers'? Expectations work the same way, huh?"

Yang An: ... Bro, you really took that to heart.

It seems he was quite upset last night. Did he even dream about it?

He thought of Chang Ningxi's dark circles and the Omega's slightly swollen eyes before him. His feelings were complex and indescribable. Are newly turned eighteen-year-old Omegas' egos really this fragile?

"Sorry, I was a bit impulsive last night. You don't need to take it to heart to lose sleep over it," Yang An said, realizing he shouldn't be arguing with a real eighteen-year-old after living two lifetimes. "I just..."
