Yu Ran sat on the bed, frowning and thinking carefully about the next strategy. The other party asked him to put the chip in the third bathroom of the charity dinner, which meant that someone would come to take the chip on the day of the dinner, and the other party did not want to have any contact with Yu Ran to avoid suspicion.
He didn't tell Yu Ran how to get to the dinner. With Yu Ran's status, he couldn't get an invitation to the charity dinner unless someone brought him in.
It seems that the other party already knows that Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan have a 98% match rate, and wants Yu Ran to use Lu Zexuan and follow General Lu to the dinner.
Recently, the area around the school has been blocked by the Investigation Department, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. If Yu Ran goes out rashly, he will definitely be followed. After a while, when the Investigation Department is not watching so closely, handing over the information at the dinner party is a safer way.
However, Lu Zexuan is very vigilant and is not someone who is easy to control.
He had always suspected that the deaths of the three sentinels at the B73 base were not simple. Although he was successfully deceived by the Nine-tailed Fox's stealth ability, he still did not completely dispel his doubts.
If I rashly proposed, "General Lu, I want to go to the charity dinner with you," Lu Zexuan's first reaction would definitely be, "Is this guy going to do something bad again?"
In General Lu's mind, the guide with a 98% match rate was not trustworthy—he was a potential dangerous element.
Since it would make him suspicious if I brought it up myself, let him bring it up.
Yu Ran quickly thought of the next series of plans.
First of all, as the captain of the Falcon Special Forces, Lu Zexuan has been performing difficult missions all year round. This sentinel has experienced too many life-and-death situations. He is calm and wise, without the slightest bit of "love brain" and will not be devoted to a guide just because the match degree is 98%.
Unless this guide is not only highly compatible with him, but also can understand him, support him, help him and his teammates, and is willing to fight alongside him - then he will look at this guide with admiration.
If I remember correctly, the Falcon Corps' guide, Moore, has served for eight years. According to the Guide Association's regulations, guides who have served for more than eight years must retire and return to the capital planet to work. After Moore retires, the selection of the guide for the Falcon Special Forces must be re-determined.
The number of guides joining the army was already scarce, and the A-level and above guides had already been divided up by the various corps. If they were to be selected from this year's graduates, those graduates might not necessarily be willing to follow the Falcon Special Forces on an adventure.
Yu Ran is a C-level guide and cannot directly qualify to join the Falcon Special Forces, nor can he help this elite force composed entirely of A-level Sentinels.
But what if he is a "growth guide" whose mental power can be continuously improved, and because of his high compatibility with Lu Zexuan, he is willing to follow his Sentinel to go on adventures together... Lu Zexuan seems to have no reason to refuse, right
From a "useless C-level guide" to a "growing guide with potential and high matching degree", Lu Zexuan's opinion of him will definitely change.
This is not difficult for Yu Ran. He just needs to wait for the first joint examination after the start of school and show his ability appropriately.
If he wanted Lu Zexuan to believe him, he had to eliminate Lu Zexuan's doubts about him.
The key point that Lu Zexuan suspected him of was his special guide element. The information could be completely deleted from the association, but the guide element existed in the blood and could not be replaced. Only by solving this problem could Lu Zexuan believe that there was no problem with his identity and origin.
Yu Ran touched his chin thoughtfully, and then sent a message to an unfamiliar number: "I need your help."
The other party replied with a string of codes: "Of course, you have caused too much noise in Sentinel Academy. Don't do anything rash recently, or else people will suspect you."
Yu Ran said, "I understand. I will only study hard at school recently. On February 14th of next month, please give Lu Zexuan a day off. I want to go to Bay Park with him. We can send a guide who attended the Graduate Exchange Ball in 495 to the park at the same time. It would be best if he is someone you trust."
The other party quickly understood Yu Ran's meaning: "You want Lu Zexuan to stop doubting you so that you can use him to do something?"
"Yes." Yu Ran said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
The other party replied: "Okay, be careful."
After ending the conversation, Yu Ran cleared all the chat records between the two.
The communication device sent to him by the Guidance College only saved the numbers of six people—Lu Zexuan, Joseph, Dean Xie, and three roommates. The message just now was sent to a special unfamiliar number, and Yu Ran had already memorized the number.
However, unless it is absolutely necessary, try to reduce contact as much as possible.
Those people from the Investigation Department will definitely continue their investigation, so I should keep a low profile during this period of time.
***
That afternoon, all students of the Guidance Academy returned to the classroom to receive their study materials and course schedules.
The head teacher of Class 107 is Ai Qi, a very gentle woman whose spiritual body is a sika deer and a Class B healing guide. After handing out the information, she smiled and said, "Next, we will vote for the monitor of Class 107. Students who want to be the monitor, please raise your hands to participate in the election."
The class division rule of the Guide Academy is based on the strength of mental power. Classes 1 to 10 are also called Class A. They are all rare guides above Grade A, similar to the "key classes" of other schools. The course progress of these classes is faster, the content explained by the teachers is more profound, and the students can be admitted to key universities after graduation.
Classes 11 to 100 are guides with a B-level in the mental test, and they make up the majority of guides. Classes after Class 100 are all Class C.
The status of C-level guides is very embarrassing. Although they are evolvers, unfortunately their mental strength is very weak and they can't do much. They are considered the lowest level among guides. Perhaps for this reason, most of the students in the class are introverted, and some are very inferior.
After the head teacher finished speaking, no one raised their hand to run for class monitor.
Ai Qi repeated awkwardly, "Is there no student who wants to be the class monitor?"
A hand slowly rose up in the corner. The fingers were white and slender, and obviously larger than those of the 13-year-old classmate - it was Yu Ran.
The head teacher breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the back row: "Yu Ran, are you interested in being the class monitor?"
Yu Ran stood up and said seriously: "I am the oldest student in the class. Although I awakened relatively late and know nothing about the knowledge related to the guide, I have experience as a class monitor in junior high school. I believe I can do this job well."
Teacher Ai Qi smiled and said, "Everyone, please raise your hands to vote... Very good, unanimous approval! Then, Yu Ran will be the monitor of our Class 107!"
There was warm applause in the classroom, especially from Yu Ran's three roommates, who clapped particularly loudly.
Yu Ran sat back in his seat.
From today on, he will be a serious and hard-working student and lead the 13-year-old guides in his class to study hard.
Being a squad leader was a new experience for him, and it was a rare opportunity for him to rest his brain. He then went to class honestly, trying to reduce his presence in the eyes of the investigation department.
At the same time, the two deans had already compiled a list of sentinels and guides with invisibility abilities and given it to Zhu Tianyi.
The list contains hundreds of names, and it will take a long time to check them one by one, so the investigation department will be very busy.
But Zhu Tianyi did not give up investigating the teachers and students of the two colleges.
He invited a traceology expert from the Investigation Department, an old veteran whose spirit body was a hound, and they conducted a carpet search of the entire campus again.
They discovered a secret passage near the wall of the Guide Academy.
Zhu Tianyi narrowed his eyes and jumped into the secret passage. The passage was very narrow and could only accommodate one person. He released his black spider and let it crawl along the wall of the secret passage. Sure enough, the exit of the secret passage was at the Sentinel Academy next door.
Black Spider reported the results of the search: "We only found a few footprints, but unfortunately the footprints were deliberately destroyed, so no useful information could be extracted. No hair or skin tissue was found either."
Zhu Tianyi looked at Kane behind him and said coldly, "Ask the two deans to come over."
A moment later, the two deans of the Guide Academy and the Sentinel Academy came over after hearing the news.
Dean Kelly was shocked: "How could there be a secret passage near the isolation wall? Dean Xie, do you know about it?"
Xie Shiyi shook his head and said, "Let's check the nearby surveillance cameras."
Zhu Tianyi glanced at the surveillance camera on the wall and said calmly, "No need to look at it—this is a blind spot for the surveillance camera."
A group of people looked at each other.
This wall has been built over hundreds of years. It has stood here since the founding of the sanctuary, separating the guides and sentinels into two worlds.
No one expected that there was a secret passage near the isolation wall that led to the other side - it was such a lonely isolation!
Usually there are few people coming here. Who could have avoided surveillance and secretly dug out this secret passage
A picture suddenly flashed through Xie Shiyi's mind.
That was more than ten years ago, on a full-moon night, Xie Shiyi woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and got up to take a walk in the school. He accidentally passed by the isolation wall and saw a figure just emerging from the woods.
Xie Shiyi scolded, "Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
The man walked out slowly, with an innocent look on his face: "Dean Xie? It's me. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I came here to look at the moonlight."
—This was the most gifted student with the highest mental power that Xie Shiyi had ever seen since he started teaching. He was only 13 years old at the time.
The red fox jumped off its owner's shoulder and wagged its tail friendly towards Xie Shiyi's long-tailed tit.
The fox had a big fluffy tail, which when it shook was as eye-catching as a leaping flame.
Xie Shiyi had always liked this student. When he saw it was him, he softened his expression and said, "I know you have finished this semester's courses. But it's best not to run around in the middle of the night."
The student looked at him seriously and said, "Dean, I have a question. For the courses related to Mind Tentacles, we can only practice in the 3D laboratory and cannot do actual exercises... Can you ask a few sentinels to come over so that we can try to operate it in practice? You know, there is a big difference between simulated operation and actual operation."
Xie Shiyi shook his head: "No. You are not proficient enough in the use of mind tentacles yet. If you practice with low-level sentinels, you may accidentally hurt them. If you encounter high-level sentinels, you may suffer mental backlash... Don't be impatient. Actual combat drills are part of the college stage. When the time comes, there will be sentinels to cooperate with you in practice."
The student nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."
Xie Shiyi: “?”
He always felt that there was something wrong with his understanding, but Xie Shiyi didn't think much about it at the time and took him back to the dormitory to sleep.
At this moment, looking at the secret passage in front of him, Xie Shiyi suddenly remembered the current experience and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back - could it be that he did it
He wanted to find a sentinel to practice what he had learned, but unfortunately there were no sentinels in the Guidance Academy, so he secretly dug a secret passage and went to the next door to find a sentinel to practice the control of the mind tentacles? !
What he meant by "understanding" was not that he understood "you can't practice casually", but that he understood "as long as you don't hurt the other party, practicing is okay"
If it was that student who did it, how did he avoid all the surveillance and eyes and ears of the Guidance Academy and do all this without anyone noticing
Unless... he has the power of invisibility.
Even Xie Shiyi was unaware of this ability!
The more Xie Shiyi thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Zhu Tianyi quickly noticed that Dean Xie was abnormal, and walked over and asked in a low voice: "Dean Xie, have you thought of something?"
Xie Shiyi came back to his senses and said seriously, "I did think of someone. Chief Zhu, have you heard that there was a genius student in the Guide Academy who completed the course that other guides would take two years to complete in just three months and graduated from the Sanctuary ahead of schedule?"
"I've heard of it. But your Guide Academy protects the privacy of students very well, especially senior guides. There is no information about him in the society, and no one knows his name or family background." Zhu Tianyi paused and asked in confusion: "Why did the dean suddenly mention him?"
Xie Shiyi said with a complicated expression: "He is the most talented student I have ever taught. I have seen him near the isolation wall. He has always wanted to find a sentinel to practice the use of mind tentacles. I suspect that he dug this secret passage without telling me. However, the theft of the data this time should have nothing to do with him."
Zhu Tianyi raised his eyebrows: "Is the dean so sure?"
Xie Shiyi sighed lightly and said with regret: "Of course. Because he died five years ago after graduating from university."
******
The clues provided by Dean Xie were not of much help.
After all, how could someone who had “died” reappear and steal information from the Sentinel Academy next door
It is more likely that this secret passage was later discovered and used by others.
Zhu Tianyi conducted a second round of questioning of all the teachers and students on the day of the incident, asking for more details to see if there were any loopholes in their testimonies... Unfortunately, no suspicious persons were found.
Yu Ran's suspicion had long been ruled out based on strong evidence that he "recited the ceremony speech" and "three roommates confirmed that he was present the entire time."
The investigation of the case reached a deadlock, and the investigation department had to expand the scope of the investigation to find those who possessed the ability to become invisible.
This is what Yu Ran is happy to see.
Three days later, Yu Ran was attending classes at school with peace of mind, while Lu Zexuan returned to the Falcon Special Forces after his vacation.
He met Maul aboard the starship Falcon.
To his surprise, Maul did not pack up and leave, but continued to work on the starship in his white coat.
Lu Zexuan asked in confusion: "Shouldn't you apply for retirement and report back to the Central Hospital in the Capital Star?"
Moore shook his head. "The next guide hasn't been decided yet. If I leave now and you run into trouble during the next mission, who will help you mentally sort out your problems? Anyway, I have no parents and I'm not in a hurry to fall in love and get married. I'll just stay in the team for a while. It won't be too late for me to leave after we find a suitable successor."
Lu Zexuan said: "You have been running around with us for these years, and it is very hard. You should retire and rest early. I will find a way to be the next guide."
Moore suddenly looked up at Lu Zexuan: "By the way, I heard that the match between you and Yu Ran is over 98%?"
Lu Zexuan's face froze: "Who told you that?"
Moore smiled and joked: "You know, there are many staff members in the matching center, and it's not easy to keep secrets. The news has spread in the team, and everyone is discussing when you will officially get rid of singleness. Some people even secretly asked me who Yu Ran is, what he looks like, and whether he is a good match for our captain?"
Lu Zexuan ignored Moore's joke and said seriously, "It's rare to find a guide with such a high degree of matching. I did think of bringing him with me as a guide for the Falcon Special Forces. However, his background..." Lu Zexuan paused and frowned slightly, "Forget it, let's observe for a while before making a decision."
Mor also stopped joking: "Well, it's a good thing to be cautious. Most of our missions are dangerous. If the guide is unqualified, it is very likely to endanger our comrades."
It's not just a matter of "failure to meet standards and dragging down teammates."
If Yu Ran was the "dark guide" he guessed, and suddenly stabbed them in the back while they were on a mission, their Falcon Special Forces might even be wiped out.
Lu Zexuan will definitely consider carefully when choosing a "team guide".
The degree of compatibility with him as an individual is far less important than the interests of the team.
The compatibility between Mor and him was very low, and it was difficult for an A-level guide to heal the mental damage of an S-level Sentinel. Mor had not been able to sort out his mental state over the years.
However, Maul's healing ability helped many of his Falcon Special Forces comrades, and that was enough.
As for him…
He can carry it himself.
***
With the official opening of the Guide Academy, the students of Class 107 also began to truly come into contact with knowledge related to "guides".
The daily class schedule is very tight. In the morning, there are usually theoretical courses such as "History of Evolution" and "Physiology of Sentinel Guides", while in the afternoon, there are courses that combine theory with practice such as "Spiritual Power Training" and "Mind Tentacle Control".
Yu Ran prefers practical classes to boring theoretical classes.
The teacher of the spiritual meditation class is their class teacher Ai Qi, who is very patient during class.
"The spiritual landscape is the home where our spiritual bodies live. It is a four-dimensional world that ordinary humans cannot possess or see. We are the creator gods of the spiritual landscape and can freely build our own landscape content."
"Although you are C-level guides and the area of your landscape is relatively small, don't be discouraged. We can make the landscape richer. For example, you can plant various aquatic plants in the fish tank, plant beautiful flowers on the lawn, and fill your home with various furniture..."
"By arranging mental images, you can slowly learn how to use your mental power and mind tentacles."
"Next, students, please try the first step. Close your eyes, concentrate, let your thoughts enter your own spiritual world, and remember every detail in the picture..."
Yu Ran followed the teacher's explanation, closed his eyes, and sorted out his spiritual world.
His mental picture is a vast primeval forest with no boundaries, with towering trees crisscrossing, various flowers competing for beauty, and a large number of streams and lakes distributed in between.
That was the world he had created personally over the years with his powerful mental strength. It was a paradise he gave to the two foxes.
But at this time, the spiritual picture he showed to outsiders was only a lake the size of a football field, with a few trees planted around the lake, and the lake was clear and simple.
Teacher Ai Qi's thinking tentacles gently enter the mental picture of each student to check on their learning situation. She is a healing guide, and her white thinking tentacles will not hurt the students, but will help everyone sort out their mental strength.
While checking on Yu Ran's study progress, she suddenly discovered that a tree by the lake seemed to be growing slowly, and as it grew, the thick white fog beside the tree dissipated a little, and the change was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
Ai Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked at that location again, but found that there was no change there.
A growth guide
Did I see it wrong
Ai Qi calmly withdrew from Yu Ran's mental picture and continued to tutor other students.
"Did she find out?" the white fox asked in the spiritual world, "The mist that just dissipated was only a little bit."
In the next few days, Yu Ran studied hard.
After class every day, he would either go to the library to read or go to the meditation room to practice, and would return to the dormitory very late.
Once, it was Teacher Ai Qi's turn to be on duty. When she went to inspect, she found Yu Ran practicing the concentration of mental power alone in the mental power meditation room.
That day, she happened to explain to everyone how to use the mind tentacles. Mind tentacles are a difficult concept for 13-year-old students to understand. The guide condenses his mental power into the shape of a tentacle, and then uses it to sort out the mental picture, dispel negative emotions, or attack other people's pictures.
If you want to master the concentration of mental power, you need to practice it over and over again.
Ai Qi turned on the video of the meditation room out of curiosity. The special meditation room can display the students' mental images on the screen in real time, so that the teacher can observe what they are doing. As she walked along, she found many lazy and sleeping students.
But Yu Ran was very serious.
He closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his mind, and tried to condense his spiritual tentacles according to the teacher's instructions...
Unfortunately he failed.
After the failure, he did not get discouraged and continued to practice with full concentration.
again and again.
Sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but he still did not give up and repeated the practice until late at night.
He didn't get up and leave until the bell for closing the teaching building rang.
When he saw his head teacher on his way out, Yu Ran was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Teacher, I haven't mastered what you taught today, and my thoughts can't gather together."
Ai Qi comforted him softly, "You have tried very hard. Don't worry. Practice slowly. You have been studying until very late every day recently, right?"
Yu Ran smiled and said, "The early bird catches the worm. I saw the students in Class A also practicing in the study room. I am less talented than them to begin with. If I don't work hard, the gap will only get bigger and bigger."
Ai Qi looked at his smile and admired this student more and more - it doesn't matter if the student has poor talent, as long as the teacher is willing to work hard, he will like the student.
So, in the following classes, Teacher Ai Qi would often ask Yu Ran if there were any good lectures that he should attend.
Yu Ran worked very hard as the class monitor. All the teachers in Class 107 liked him very much, and his classmates called him "Brother Ran" all the time and would ask him questions whenever they had any.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and Lu Zexuan received a not-too-difficult task, which was to lead the Falcon Special Forces to leave the Capital Star.
Before leaving, he came to the Guidance College to visit Yu Ran.
On the surface, you care about the other person, but in reality, you are "not confident enough".
Lu Zexuan believed that Yu Ran had nothing to do with the theft of the Sentinel Academy's data. However, he still couldn't let go of the previous deaths and the smell of the guide element he had smelled at the graduation dance five years ago.
It was Sunday and the Guide Academy was closed.
Lu Zexuan privately visited Yu Ran's class teacher: "Yu Ran, how have you been doing in school recently?"
Ai Qi was stunned: "As what? Yu Ran's... parent? Or?"
Lu Zexuan said seriously, "The match between him and me is as high as 98%, and I am trying to date him. You can understand that I am trying to understand his situation as a suitor. Of course, you don't have to answer."
Ai Qi looked at Lu Zexuan in surprise. This was the first time she heard the news today. She didn't expect that Yu Ran was so well matched with General Lu!
So, Ai Qi began to praise Yu Ran generously: "Yu Ran is the most hardworking student I have ever seen. He practices in the meditation room every day until midnight before going back to bed. He listens very carefully in class and takes notes in a big book. He is also the monitor of our class and is very enthusiastic to help his classmates. All the teachers and classmates like him very much..."
Lu Zexuan felt mixed emotions when he heard the teacher's praise. It seemed that Yu Ran had been working hard recently and was very popular in school.
After talking with the head teacher, Lu Zexuan called Yu Ran out.
The moment Yu Ran saw him, there seemed to be surprise in his eyes, and a little bit of nervousness.
The little white fox stole a glance at the white eagle and shrank into a ball of fur out of habit. The white eagle flapped its wings and wanted to get closer to it, but was afraid of being scolded by its owner, so it held back.
Lu Zexuan took Yu Ran for a walk in the park near the school, chatting as they walked: "I heard that you became the class monitor?"
Yu Ran blushed slightly and said embarrassedly, "None of the other students participated in the election. I saw that the head teacher was in a difficult situation, so I raised my hand. I was a class monitor before. I was a class monitor for two years in junior high school and one year in high school. Although the Guidance College is different from ordinary middle schools, the nature of the class monitor's job is similar."
Lu Zexuan asked with concern: "Will it be tiring to be a squad leader?"
Yu Ran said: "Fortunately, the teacher didn't assign many tasks, so it won't affect my studies."
The two chatted casually, and Lu Zexuan took Yu Ran to sit in the pavilion in front, changing the subject and saying, "By the way, I have to go on a mission recently, and may not be back for about a week."
Yu Ran looked at him worriedly: "Will this mission be dangerous?"
Lu Zexuan turned around and met Yu Ran's gaze.
One of his eyes is black and the other is red, and his eyes are bright. When he looks at others intently, it is difficult for people to look away.
At this moment, those clear eyes were full of concern.
Lu Zexuan, who was concerned about him, coughed uncomfortably, looked away, and whispered, "It's not dangerous. The location of this mission is quite far from the contaminated area."
Yu Ran was obviously relieved, and a smile appeared on his face: "That's good."
After a moment, Lu Zexuan stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. Take care of yourself at school."
Yu Ran said: "Well, you should also pay attention to safety."
The two said goodbye at the school gate.
Yu Ran watched Lu Zexuan's car leave before looking away.
The way he and Lu Zexuan get along is quite strange. In the eyes of others, they are a sentinel and a guide with a 98% match, interacting with each other and cultivating feelings - but in fact, one is testing and the other is performing, and they each have their own purposes.
***
The weekend is over and Monday is the day for the Guide Academy exam.
Since the guides' memory is several times that of ordinary humans, they can learn knowledge very quickly. What ordinary students take two months to learn, they only need a week, or even less.
After a week of popular science education, each class of freshmen will take a grade-wide exam, where teachers examine everyone’s understanding of the knowledge and adjust the teaching progress accordingly.
All students took this exam very seriously, especially the guides in the "key classes", who wished they could get 100 points in every subject.
The test for the theory course is very simple, consisting of some definition of terms and questions and answers, and you can pass it just by memorizing them.
The key is the practical class exam, which requires careful preparation.
The spiritual power level of a guide is generally determined by the area of the spiritual vision. The spiritual vision of a C-level guide is very small, and the end can be seen at a glance. Therefore, Dean Xie Shiyi did not waste energy on supervising the students in Class C. He focused on the extremely talented guide students in Class A.
Class 107 is supervised by the homeroom teacher Ai Qi.
This exam is conducted individually. Each student must go to a designated mental meditation room and try to use the mind tentacles to organize their mental images. The more proficient you are in using the mind tentacles, the higher your score. If you can add more content to the image in front of the examiner, you will get extra points.
The students of Class 107 walked into the examination room one by one according to their student numbers.
Yu Ran was No. 37, and 36 students had already taken the exam before him. The results of these students disappointed the head teacher Ai Qi.
The C-level guides' comprehension was indeed very low. Many of them were unable to gather their mental energy into the shape of tentacles. After struggling for a long time in a sweat, their mental images became increasingly chaotic and they failed the exam.
Of the 36 candidates, only 10 successfully gathered their mental power into mental tentacles, and they did not last long. Compared with the students in Class A who were skilled in using mental tentacles to organize images, it was a world of difference.
When it was Yu Ran's turn, Teacher Ai Qi sat up straight.
She liked this student very much, not only because he took the initiative to take on the responsibilities of class monitor. During this period, Yu Ran also studied very seriously, and went to the spiritual meditation classroom to practice by himself every day when he had free time. She saw it all.
Ai Qi looked at Yu Ran and said gently, "Don't be nervous. Just try to use your mind tentacles as you usually practice and sort out your mental picture carefully."
Yu Ran nodded seriously, sat in front of her, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate.
Ai Qi's thought tentacles also gently touched Yu Ran's forehead to check the changes in his spiritual world.
The clear lake surface was calm and waveless. Yu Ran appeared in the center of the lake. He stood above the lake. Countless light spots representing mental power surrounded and flowed around him. A thought tentacle with a soft green light gradually condensed and took shape in his palm.
The tentacle was like a spiritual vine, extending lightly from his hand.
The vines crawl slowly along the lake, as if patrolling the territory.
Wherever the vines passed, the lake seemed to sense it and vibrated slightly as if resonating with it.
Around the lake, a lifeless tree quietly sprouted green buds as the vines gently brushed its roots. Then, the thick fog around the tree spread out to an area of nearly one square meter, revealing a small piece of brown land next to the tree.
"!!!"
Aiqi stared at it all with eyes wide open, unable to believe it.
After a moment, Yu Ran's voice rang out in the mental image: "Sorry, teacher, I can only hold on for so long."
As soon as he finished speaking, the green thought tentacle turned into powder under the light and disappeared.
Yu Ran opened his eyes and looked at the head teacher a little embarrassedly: "I am not proficient enough in the control of the mind tentacles. I can only maintain it for more than ten seconds."
Ai Qi stood up excitedly: "Yu Ran, have you noticed that the area of your mental picture has changed?"
Yu Ran looked at her blankly: "Area? It seems to have changed. The fog beside the lake has dissipated a little bit recently."
Aiqi was so excited: "Oh my God, you are a growth guide!"
Yu Ran was puzzled: "… Growth type?"
Ai Qi explained: "The mental picture of a growth-type guide can be expanded! As you become more and more proficient in mastering the mind tentacles, the picture will become larger and larger, and your mental power will become stronger and stronger - the mind tentacles can expand the area of the mental picture. This is the typical characteristic of a growth-type guide!"
Yu Ran seemed to understand and said, "That is to say, my mental strength can be improved, right?"
Ai Qi smiled and patted his shoulder: "Yes. Professor Mo Wei is a growth guide. When he first entered school, his mental power was C-level, and later he was promoted to S-level. Kellogg from the Reconnaissance Department was promoted to A. Of course, there are some people who can only be promoted to B-level. It depends on the person. However, if you have the growth attribute, you will definitely not always be C-level!"
Yu Ran also became happy after hearing this: "Great! So, as long as I study hard in the future, I may be able to grow into a more powerful guide and do more things!"
Teacher Ai Qi gave him a hug: "Yes, congratulations, Yu Ran!"
Soon, Ai Qi reported the matter to Xie Shiyi, the dean of the Guide Academy.
Dean Xie personally came to the examination room to check Yu Ran's mental picture, and found that when Yu Ran used his mind tentacles to touch the boundary of the picture, the area around the lake would expand.
Although he is not yet proficient in the use of his mind tentacles and the scope of expansion is insignificant, as long as he can expand it and accumulate it slowly, one day, his mental power will be qualitatively improved.
Xie Shiyi smiled and said, "Yu Ran, you are the only growth-oriented guide among this class of students. You should cherish your talent. Also, don't spread this matter around. Just keep it to yourself. People with outstanding talents are likely to be hated by others. Do you understand?"
Yu Ran nodded seriously: "I understand!"
Xie Shiyi looked at Teacher Ai Qi and said, "From now on, you will personally tutor Yu Ran in her meditation and self-study classes."
Ai Qi said excitedly: "I know, Dean!"
After the exam, Dean Xie told Joseph about this: "Yu Ran, whom you have always asked me to take care of, took the first grade joint exam today, and it was unexpectedly found that he is a growth guide. Moreover, his mind tentacles are rare green - forest-type healing abilities."
The Josephs' eyes widened: "Oh my God! Is Ranran so promising?!"
There are many branches of healing wizards according to the different mind tentacles. Among them, forest wizards have the strongest healing ability.
When other guides sort out the sentinel's mental image, they can mostly do the "dispel" of the holy light system or the "purification" of the ocean system, while the strongest point of the forest system is "reconstruction". In other words, if a sentinel's mental image is damaged, the Joseph people can only dispel the negative emotions in his mental world at most, making him feel happy and less uncomfortable.
This treatment is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.
And Yu Ran - if he could evolve to S-level healing ability - he could even allow a mentally collapsed Sentinel to rebuild a completely new mental landscape.
In other words, those Sentinels who are on the verge of going berserk may be cured from the root by Yu Ran!
Joseph took a deep breath to calm herself down, and she said seriously: "Don't let anyone else know this news except you, me, and Yu Ran's class teacher. Although growth guides have unlimited potential, they may also be envied by others. I don't want this sapling to be destroyed before it grows up."
Xie Shiyi said: "Don't worry, I understand your concerns, I will definitely protect Yu Ran."
Among the students of the Guide Academy, there are many high-level guides with prominent family backgrounds. They have been spoiled and pampered since childhood. Once the news that Yu Ran is a growing guide leaks out, the teenagers are not mature enough mentally, and out of jealousy, they will inevitably do some extraordinary things, and even cause school violence.
Yu Ran has no parents and no one to rely on, so it is easy for him to become a thorn in the eyes of those excellent students.
Let him continue to be ordinary.
Sometimes, being ordinary is the best protection.

After returning to the dormitory, Yu Ran sent a long essay to Lu Zexuan.
"General Lu, today we have a joint exam at school. The teacher said that I am a growth-oriented guide and asked me not to tell this secret to others. However, since we know each other, I think I shouldn't hide this from you. In the past, because I was a C-level guide and you were an S-level sentinel, I always felt inferior in front of you. Even though we were a good match, I didn't dare to have too much contact with you. Now, the teacher said that growth-oriented guides have great potential. I think that as long as I study hard, I can become stronger, and when I stand by your side in the future, I won't be laughed at."
Lu Zexuan: “…”
Is this considered a true expression of feelings
In fact, he has always had a good impression of General Lu, but because of his family background, mental power level, and other aspects, he is not worthy of Lu Zexuan, so he gets nervous every time they meet? Now he unexpectedly discovered that he is a growth guide, so he happily told Lu Zexuan
is that so
At this time, the Falcon starship is traveling in interstellar space.
Seeing Lu Zexuan's complicated expression, Mo Er couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Who sent the message? What's that expression on your face?"
"Nothing, just a personal matter." Lu Zexuan coughed lightly, adjusted his expression, and quickly replied: "Congratulations. Growth-type guides are very rare. It doesn't matter if your mental strength is a little low now. You can slowly improve it in the future."
Yu Ran looked at the reply message, chuckled and turned off the communicator.
A growth guide is a very flexible character.
When he needs to be stronger, he can instantly upgrade his healing ability to S-level, and the burst of mental power due to stimulation can also be explained; when he needs to remain low-key, he will say "Sorry, my talent can only be upgraded to B-level at most."
You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.
He can freely control the level of his mental strength.
I wonder what General Lu would think when he saw this news? Would he think that this little guide with a high degree of matching is also worth training
