Chapter 608: Chapter 627: The Talent Limitation of a Natural Person
In the medical office next door.
Plenty of students from the Mecha Single Soldier System were injured daily, so the doctor had seen it all. When a robot carried Jiang Qiuqiu in, he simply picked up a nearby flute and began to play softly.
It was magical. The sound of the flute filled the air, and though it was a rather simple tune, it greatly eased Jiang Qiuqiu’s splitting headache.
About five minutes later, the pain in her head gradually disappeared, and she was placed into a Treatment Pod.
Just then, her teacher came running in as well.
"Doctor Xu, is this girl going to be okay?"
"She’s not in any serious danger." Dr. Xu put his flute away. "What happened? She came in alone, so it doesn’t look like she was injured in a fight."
"..."
"It wasn’t a fight. It happened during class." The teacher sighed. "She tried to pilot an R3 without activating her Genes."
"That badass?" Dr. Xu asked, astonished.
Teacher Mao: ???
"Sorry, sorry." Dr. Xu chuckled. "Take a look at this kid. Her Genes probably manifest as something ugly, right? Like an elephant? Or an arthropod? And she didn’t activate them because she thought it was ugly? She’s so obsessed with being beautiful she doesn’t even know what a big deal it is not to activate your Genes."
"Good thing she was ejected. If she’d pushed through and managed to get in, only to pass out inside, her Mecha career would’ve been over before it even began."
"Let me see what kind of Genes would make her too scared to even use them." Dr. Xu prepared to take a look, planning to give the little girl a pep talk later. ’So what if it’s a turtle!’
’Turtles can be cute, too!’
’She just has to get it over with. She can learn to control its appearance later if she thinks it’s ugly! Besides, once you’re strong enough, who gives a damn what your manifestation is?’
The school’s medical office had the basic physical records for all students in that department.
"What’s this girl’s name?"
"Jiang Qiuqiu."
"Wait, let me look it up. A freshman from Class A?"
"Yes."
His eyes scanned the screen, and he quickly found the girl’s name. He clicked on it. ’Let’s see, the Genes... the section for Genes is—’
Dr. Xu’s expression froze for an instant. He leaned in closer, looking again, carefully.
"What’s wrong?" The teacher saw his expression wasn’t right. "Are her Genes really that strange?"
"No."
"Then why wouldn’t she activate her Genes?"
"Old Mao, it’s not that her Genes aren’t strange. It’s that she doesn’t have any." Dr. Xu swore, pointing one finger at the large screen. "She’s a natural person."
"???"
Shock washed over the two of them.
-
Treatment Pods were truly wonderful things.
When Jiang Qiuqiu woke up inside it, she felt completely full of energy.
She pressed the button from the inside, the pod door opened, and just as she sat up, she found two extremely... curious faces in front of her.
She instinctively drew back a little.
"Teacher Mao... is something wrong?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Teacher Mao was astonished. "Student Jiang, you’re a natural person?"
"Yes."
’So it was true.’
’She really is a natural person. No wonder she didn’t activate her Genes... A natural person has no Genes to activate.’
He had planned to scold her for her recklessness—for going in without protection after being explicitly told to activate her Genes—but now... he was at a loss for words.
He had actually heard this student’s name many times before.
’Growth-type spiritual power. A tenacious will. She’d performed well during military training, her results were brilliant, and many instructors thought highly of her. An excellent Mecha Soldier.’
The academy had originally intended to train this batch of students as top-tier Mecha Soldiers, but now—
It was going to be difficult.
Incredibly difficult.
