117: Chapter 117: A Hot Commodity 117: Chapter 117: A Hot Commodity Yan Qianyi was stunned.

Mai Hunter extended his hand towards her with utmost gentlemanly grace, slightly tilting his head.

“Student Yan, hello, my name is Mai Hunter, and from now on, I will be your teacher.

Welcome to joining the first class of the 27th Special Department.

I hope we can get along well,” he said.

Yan Qianyi blinked blankly.

What…

was happening?

The students around, including Yan Ruyi, had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Even the teachers were dumbfounded.

Mai Hunter himself came out to greet a new student?!

That had never happened in all the past years!

“What’s the matter?” Mai Hunter asked humorously, “Are you surprised to have such a handsome teacher?

However, the way you blink is pretty cute too.

It seems that we’ll be a mentor and mentee of good looks.”

Yan Qianyi came to her senses and quickly extended her hand to shake his, “Hello, Teacher, I am Yan Qianyi.”

Mai Hunter nodded contentedly, “Let’s go, I will take you to complete the admission procedures.”

“Teacher, wait up,” Yan Ruyi quickly called out to Mai Hunter, completely unsettled, “Is there a mistake?

Yan Qianyi’s Spiritual Power Value is only 20, how could she possibly pass the Special Department’s assessment?”

Another student questioned, “Did the Special Department’s assessment standards lower?”

“Student, are you questioning the teacher?” Mai Hunter looked at Yan Ruyi, his face still wearing a gentlemanly smile, but his eyes darkened slightly.

Yan Ruyi was dumbfounded and had an even more baffled expression than Yan Qianyi.

Even as Yan Qianyi followed Mai Hunter away, Yan Ruyi still stared disbelievingly.

Yan Chuhua stepped forward to register and after learning she was assigned to class one, she happily watched Yan Qianyi walking away.

Although they were both in class one, Yan Qianyi was personally received by an instructor.

It seemed she had made a very impressive friend!

Yan Qianyi obediently followed Mai Hunter and figured out all the paperwork in a daze.

“All set.

In three days, come to the training base for a month-long military training,” Mai Hunter handed a set of camouflage uniform to Yan Qianyi, “After the military training, the regular semester will begin, Qianyi, you make me look forward to it.”

Yan Qianyi took the camouflage suit, “Teacher Mai Hunter, I…

am a bit confused, my Spiritual Power Value is so low and I don’t even have a special ability, why was I admitted?”

And an incredible teacher personally came to receive her.

She even suspected whether someone with the same name had taken the Special Department’s assessment.

“Oh?” Teacher Mai Hunter touched his chin in confusion, “Qianyi, do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?”

Yan Qianyi was also puzzled.

She was very clear about what abilities she possessed.

Mai Hunter chuckled in surprise, “A Spiritual Power Value of 80, and you say that’s low?

Do you know that in the entire Federation schools, there’s only one person with a higher Spiritual Power Value than you?”

Yan Qianyi was shocked, “You mean…

my Spiritual Power Value is…

80?!”

That meant her Spiritual Power Value was only 2 points lower than Mai Hunter’s?!

“Yes, didn’t you know?”

“My brother once tested my Spiritual Power Value for me, it was only 20.”

“The Spiritual Power Value of a person is not always constant, you were probably just a little kid when you were last tested?”

“It was last year.”

Aunt Xue told her that her brother had visited her last year and had conducted another spiritual power test on her.

At that time, her brother had placed all his hopes on her spiritual power.

Because the doctor had said, only if her spiritual power was high, could there be a miracle of her awakening on her own.

Mai Hunter stared in shock, “Are you saying that, in one year, your Spiritual Power Value increased by 60!?”

Yan Qianyi was also shocked, “Teacher, could there be something wrong with the testing machine?

Could you test me again?”

It must be clarified, just in case it was another mix-up.

She didn’t want to be embarrassed by this matter again.

Mai Hunter shook his head decisively, “The test result is accurate, the teacher who tested you double-checked it.”

“Oh.” No wonder she had waited so long then.

“Qianyi, did something extraordinary happen to you?” Mai Hunter asked curiously, “I’ve never seen anyone’s Spiritual Power Value improve so much in one year!”

Although Spiritual Power Value is not fixed and immutable, a person’s talent for spiritual power is determined from birth.

Although there can be variations and it can be improved through effort,

The rate of postnatal growth is extremely slow.

For most people, even a lifetime of effort might increase their Spiritual Power Value by only two or three points.

Thus, Spiritual Power Value is essentially innate.

“Nothing extraordinary, just had an accident and was in a coma for two years before waking up.”

It must have been due to her trip to the otherworld, but she couldn’t tell Mai Hunter about that.

“Anyway, you truly are a miracle!” Mai Hunter looked at Yan Qianyi with more and more admiration, his tone excited, “I believe many more miracles will happen to you!”

He had really found a treasure!

Yan Qianyi was still puzzled, “But since my Spiritual Power Value is so high, why haven’t I awakened any special abilities?

I heard that people whose Spiritual Power Value exceeds 40 usually awaken special abilities.”

“I don’t understand this either, but rest assured,” Mai Hunter said confidently, “with my guidance, awakening a special ability is only a matter of time.”

Yan Qianyi nodded, then asked, “Why wasn’t my information included in the new student reception?”

That was really embarrassing!

She had wanted to crawl into a hole.

“Well…” Mai Hunter clenched his fist in front of his nose and coughed, his gaze dodging slightly.

Unable to continue pretending under Yan Qianyi’s intense gaze, he said, “To be honest with you, the teachers who tested your spiritual power are quite close to me, so when they discovered your potential, I was the first to know.

I was afraid other teachers might snatch you away, so I had them conceal your information.

Now, in the entire Federation Military Academy, apart from the teachers present during your spiritual power testing, only I and the principal know that your Spiritual Power Value is 80, the other teachers do not.”

Yan Qianyi suddenly realized why there had been so many mix-ups.

She was still highly coveted.

Mai Hunter continued, “Once you return from military training, I will personally coach you, and in six months, all the military academies of the Federation Empire will hold an inter-academy competition.

I hope you can participate then and win the championship, bringing honor to our academy.”

And to him!

“What benefit is there?” Yan Qianyi asked.

“After winning, you can represent our Federation Empire and compete against students from other countries’ military academies.”

“Is there any benefit?” Yan Qianyi asked again.

She was particularly concerned about this issue.
