Chapter 4

"Chouli."

After the door opened, Zhan Wei called out to his mother.

The mother calmly said to Zhan Wei, "Go inside."

Although the mother appeared calm, there was a mix of expectations in her eyes. It was evident that while she believed in Zhan Wei, she was still nervous until she saw the results.

Zhan Wei followed Chouliguo inside.

Inside, he saw a short-haired male researcher in a white coat and a floating Bubble Bell.

Zhan Wei had just read about Bubble Bells, these extraordinary creatures, in a book the day before. He didn't expect to see a live one so soon.

Bubble Bells had no gender differences and belonged to the psychic-type. They were rare pet beasts.

In fact, psychic-type extraordinary creatures like Bubble Bells were quite rare.

There were not many pet beast centers that housed them, perhaps only five or six per year. Their prices started at millions of Union Coins, making them unaffordable for ordinary families.

He must be a rich man.

Zhan Wei immediately labeled the short-haired male researcher in the white coat in front of him.

The short-haired male researcher sat in front of the computer, typing non-stop, appearing busy. He wasn't surprised to see Zhan Wei and Chouliguo entering, indicating that he had already received Zhan Wei's registration information in advance.

"Go sit over there," he pointed to a single sofa next to him.

Zhan Wei went to the designated spot and sat down.

It was just an ordinary sofa with nothing special about it.

"Bubble Bell," the short-haired male researcher called out to his partner without looking up.

"Bell."

The short-haired male researcher still didn't lift his head, but Zhan Wei knew that he was talking to him.

The silver helmet on Zhan Wei's head did not obstruct his view, allowing him to clearly see the frown on the face of the short-haired male researcher as he looked at the images and data transmitted by Zhan Wei's device.

Zhan Wei instantly became tense.

Could there be a problem?

The short-haired male researcher had a serious expression on his face. When he had no expression, he resembled a school principal, and now with his stern look, it made Zhan Wei's heart jump.

Especially considering his own identity and the current situation, it made Zhan Wei extremely nervous.

"Are you a self-awakened individual?" the short-haired male researcher suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, sir, is there a problem with me?" Zhan Wei nervously asked.

"No, don't be nervous," the short-haired male researcher noticed the boy's uneasiness and forced a slightly unnatural smile on his solemn face, trying to calm him down.

It's quite creepy...

Zhan Wei became even more nervous.

"In our city, there are only six self-awakened children this year, including you. You must have performed well, right?" the short-haired male researcher asked.

Being a top student doesn't necessarily mean being a self-awakened individual, but all successful self-awakened individuals are top students.

Zhan Wei: "..."

You can say he is smart or talented, why did you bring up grades?

Zhan Wei knew he was trying to ease his nervousness, but he really didn't want to talk...

"I'm basically third place," Zhan Wei said without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Being third in the entire school is not bad either. Many first and second place students couldn't awaken," the short-haired male researcher smiled, though it felt forced, his voice was gentle.

"I got first place in the recent mock exam," Zhan Wei said, no longer nervous.

"After awakening, the brain's capacity increases by around 2%. Self-awakened individuals like you usually reach around 5%. It's normal to suddenly make progress," the short-haired male researcher explained, providing an explanation for Zhan Wei's first-place result.

Zhan Wei: "..."

After about two minutes.

The short-haired male researcher looked up and called out, "Bubble Bell."

"Bell."

Bubble Bell used his psychic power to put Zhan Wei's device back in its original place.

"Congratulations on a successful self-awakening. There are no other issues with your brain's domain, just that the fluctuations in your brainwaves are a bit intense. You should rest well and eat more dried fruits," the short-haired male researcher took out a certificate, signed it, sealed it, and handed it over.

"Thank you," Zhan Wei received the certificate, finally feeling relieved.

...

...

"What's the result?" Zhan Wei's mother anxiously asked as soon as he stepped out of the door.

Zhan Wei sighed and handed her the result in his hand.

His mother's face instantly turned pale, and for a moment, she didn't dare to take it and look.

"Mom, take a look." Zhan Wei pushed the certificate a little closer to her.

Li xiangting felt a chill in his heart. Not only did his son fail to awaken, he also scored zero on the exam...

In fact, even if he didn't score zero, his son's previous grades wouldn't have been enough to enter the Beast Academy. The prerequisite for entering the Beast Academy was to awaken with a Beast Manual and reach the required score.

The maximum score for the entrance exam was 650 points, and last year's minimum score was 332 points.

Even if he tried his best but couldn't pass the exam, at least he would have made an effort. But his son actually scored zero and lied about it...

In an instant, Li xiangting began questioning his own education.

Maybe she should give him a good beating.

This child needs to be disciplined.

Zhan Wei saw his mother take the certificate and lower her head to look at it, and he couldn't help but straighten his back.

"Smack."

Zhan Wei was dumbfounded.
