American Celestial Master

Chapter 149, Muggles and Squibs
A week later, the graduation exam of School X officially started.

The content of the exam is quite simple. Basically, it is how to efficiently input spiritual power to the existing several versions of the shelter. As long as you can do this, you can graduate smoothly and get a new job contract immediately.And that's stress-free for any student.

However, in this exam, there is still one thing that makes those superheroes feel the pressure, that is, the self-funded students of the first class also came to take the exam.

According to the original school system, there is no need for these self-funded students to take this kind of exam, because they are still far from graduation.And everyone knows that these self-funded students are "rich Muggles" (a nickname given to self-funded students by some superhero students), this kind of test is a practical test, and these "rich Muggles" come to take a what?

Charles was queuing up for the test when he saw Sean the "Rich Muggle" walking behind him with several other "Rich Muggles".

"Hey, brother, I heard that you are also taking this exam?" Charles and Sean have a good relationship. To be precise, everyone in this school has a good relationship with Sean.Sean is rich, and he is willing to spend money, and he likes to spend money with his friends, plus he doesn't have the stinking airs of rich people, so he can make jokes——who doesn't like such a person?
"Yes, Teacher Annie asked us to choose between the test of mental endurance and this one." Sean replied, "We are Muggles, but we are not fools. We only choose the test of mental endurance if we are stupid." .”

"What is a mental endurance test?" Charles asked quickly.

"It is to use some stimulating means to strengthen our mental power, such as visiting the zoo..." Xiao En explained, "Mr. Annie believes that through this kind of training, our spiritual power can be improved..."

"Ah..." Charles immediately understood, and he nodded, "That's true, I only choose which one if I'm stupid. And you won't be able to graduate after passing the test, but your goal is not a graduation qualification. In other words, the stimulation Does the method have any effect?"

"There are still some. I can already squat outside that Wendigo's cage to do math problems. And recently we have also made a little progress in acquiring extraordinary abilities." Sean replied.

"Awesome!" Charles raised his thumb, "Do you have any extraordinary abilities now?"

"Can it be counted if the ability to do geometry drawing problems has improved? If not, then there is no. But Teacher Annie said that we are no longer Muggles." Sean replied very happily.

"What's that?" Charles asked.

"Squibs," Sean replied.

"Does this make a difference?"

"Yes, Muggles can't see dementors, but Squibs can. I can feel the presence of ghosts and other spirits now. This is nothing to you, but it is to us Great progress. That's why Teacher Annie suggested that we take your graduation exam..." Xiao En nodded and said.

The two people were talking, and the staff in front shouted: "Michael Wallace, it's your turn! Charles Bell, you are next, get ready!"

"Man, I can't talk to you anymore. I have to see Michael's situation first. I must pass this guy." Charles said, turning his eyes to the test field.

There is a version 3.0 shelter system on the test site, and the staff is clearing the energy of the system according to the process.

"I think Michael should be able to fill the system between 30 seconds and 33 seconds. His performance has always been very stable." Charles said.

"What about you?" Sean asked.

"I'm not sure. I have a lot of ups and downs. When I'm in a good state, 26 seconds is enough. But when I'm not in a good state, I messed up and took two to three minutes." Charles stared at the test field , while saying so.

At this time, the preparations for the first few sessions have been completed. Michael Wallace walked up, took a deep breath, and pressed both hands on the device.

The LED indicators representing the system's energy status quickly lit up one after another, and the last light came on soon after.

"31 seconds, B and so on!" The staff over there has quickly reported the results.

"If I can do it in 30 seconds, I can get an A, then I will get a better contract than Michael, if I make a mistake again, after 40 seconds, I can only get a C , if it's 2 minutes, then there's only E, and there's only the minimum contract... Brother, you have to cheer me up!"

"Come on, brother, you can do it!" Sean said.

"Charles Bell..." Charles' name began to be called from above.

Charles turned his head and responded, and then said to Sean: "It's my turn, if I get an A, I'll treat you to a French meal, Michelin-starred, and you don't have to pay for it!"

After speaking, Charles went up.

"We don't know how many lights we can turn on," Andre said.

"I'm satisfied as long as I can turn on a light." Sean said, "Andre, you must be stronger, maybe you can fill the whole system."

"I haven't tried it, and I have no idea." Andre said.

"Me too, but I'm not worried at all, as long as it can light up, it proves that we are on the right path..." Cowell said.

The few people had just chatted a few words, and the higher-ups reported Charles' result: "Charles Bell, 29 seconds, A!"

Then I saw Charles running back excitedly, showing off to everyone proudly, and finally came to Sean, stopped for a while, and then said embarrassedly: "Sean, can you lend me some money? I will pay you back your salary!"

"No problem," Sean said.

After a few more people passed, it was Sean's turn.He was also the first of this batch of "rich Muggles".The other Muggles all focused their attention on him.

Sean walked up, pressed his hand on the instrument according to the method of emergency training recently, and still operated the so-called "heart method",
The first light came on, but it flickered for a while, but it stabilized.Ten seconds later, the second light also came on.Then after the third light came on, Sean, who had spent more than 40 seconds, stopped charging. He raised his head and said to the staff that there was nothing he could do.

But even so, the other Muggles were still very happy.Because although this is a complete failure according to the test standards, it is already a huge improvement from zero to thirty.Even Sean himself was very happy.

"Congratulations! Sean." Cowell came up and shook hands with Sean, "I remembered an ancient poem, it is very suitable for the occasion, and I can give it to you."

"What poem?" asked Charles on the side.

"I am the pure lotus,

God's breath nourishes me,
Sprout brilliantly.

From the dark underground,
rise into the sun world
Blossoms in the field. "(This is the poem in the ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead") Cowell said.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your very well-timed poetry," Sean said.

"You charades are what bother me the most," said Charles. "I don't understand a bit of what it's saying."

"This is a depiction of a lotus sprouting from the ground and finally blooming in the field." Sean explained, "The germination of a lotus is insignificant from the perspective of the entire world, and it is not enough to use 'brilliant ' to describe it. Many times, we even turn a blind eye to it. After all, there are too many plants that germinate in spring. Not to mention just sprouting, even if flowers finally bloom, for the whole world Say, what is it?

But all of this is the most brilliant thing for that lotus flower itself.Eliot said 'April is the cruelest season'.Because countless seeds have died in the spring rain, and only a few can germinate.Charles, what Cowell means is that although my grades are not worth mentioning compared to yours, they are as small as a lotus flower sprouting in April.But for myself, it was an incomparably brilliant victory.Well, maybe I can say this: 'That's one small step for the world, one giant leap for me. '"

"I still don't quite get it, but to hell with that question! I have more important things to do, and that's: Congratulations, Sean, you've sprouted brilliantly!" Charles said.

Then Sean briefly talked to the rest of the "Muggles" about his feelings during the "exam" and the problems he felt he could improve.Then the remaining "Muggles" went up and tried again. Their performance was better than Sean's, but none of them could complete the charge within the required time.

Cowell was the last to go up.

Kewell took a deep breath, pressed his hands down, one light came on, then the second light, the third light... Finally, the last light finally turned on.

"Very good, Kewell, but you are overtime, and overtime by 2 minutes." The timing staff said.

"Hey, that's great! Dude, I think not only are you not a Muggle anymore, but one of you isn't even a Squib! He's still badly timed out, though. But I'm going to be too badly timed out before I've had any special training. Of course, Sean, you're still a squib hahaha..." Charles laughed.

Although none of the "Muggles" met the minimum graduation criteria, the fact that they went from "Muggles" to "Squibs" still sent a lot of shock to the "Superhero Graduates".Their performance proves that through learning, they can really improve themselves greatly, and it also shows that X School has a very in-depth research on the essence of supernatural power. It is definitely worth spending some money to study here.Many graduates made up their minds to continue studying at their own expense almost immediately.
