"This is the latest equipment from the Federation with an accuracy rate of 99%, the result will be the same even if you retake the test!"
The technician said impatiently.
Every year, he encounters a bunch of people who refuse to believe in the low quality of their own genes, believing that the machine has made a mistake.
"Forget it, let's allow Ethan to retest." Victor suggested.
Victor felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, Ethan had lost his parents at a young age, taken away by the beast tide.
The fact that this child has been able to survive until now is really not easy.
"Alright, fine."
With an unwilling expression, the technician cleared the data and restarted the device.
"Just this once! After testing, you must leave! Don't come back to bother me again!"
The technician vented at Ethan, appearing disgruntled.
Buzz-
The machine began to hum as it started.
Below Ethan, a circle of light gradually emerged, closely followed by a second one.
"Just watch, it's going to be the same as before," the technician rolled his eyes.
Before the words had settled, ka ka ka ka!
Four rings of light suddenly illuminated beneath Ethan! "Holy crap, is this A-level?" The technician's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
But before he could recover, the red light circle trembled violently and instantly transformed into a dazzling gold color.
In an instant, the entire testing room was bathed in golden light, so bright that one could hardly keep their eyes open.
"Holy hell!"
The technician bounced up from his chair.
"Holy shit!" Victor also abruptly straightened his body.
"This... this is a freaking S-level gene!"
Victor was so excited that his forehead turned red, and his voice changed tone.
"Holy Shit! An S-class! Ethan Hayes actually awakened an S-class gene!"
"Damn, our school has produced an S-class big shot!"
In the testing room, everyone was so astonished that their jaws nearly dropped.
A few other technicians came over, staring at the golden halo under Ethan's feet.
"Oh my god! It's really an S-class!"
"Mr. Finch, the lucky dog, came across an S-class!"
"I've been doing this job for nearly ten years. I haven't even touched an S-class hair!"
The sourness from several technicians was unbearable.
Technician Mr. Finch and Victor were as excited as if they had won the lottery.
An S-class gene was simply a rare treasure!
"Quick, quick, Ethan, come with me next door, let's see which series you belong to!"
Victor excitedly, his face all red, pulled Ethan and dashed towards the adjacent testing room.
"Wait for me!"
Mr. Finch also followed along eagerly.
The rest of the students and technicians didn't care about the ongoing test anymore and squeezed over.
Normally, everyone would have to finish testing their gene level before they could test their gene category.
However, Ethan is an S-rank big shot, so naturally, he can take a shortcut.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Ethan extended his hand into the instrument. A nanoneedle, too fine to be seen by the naked eye, pricked his finger.
A few seconds later, the test results were out.
Superpower Gene!
"Holy crap! An S-rank Superpower Gene!"
Old Man Victor jumped up excitedly, like a child who had won the lottery.
Although the Federation always maintains that gene categories are not ranked, everyone privately has their own preferences.
The most awesome gene would have to be the Elemental Gene, with its overwhelming offensive power.
Next is the Superpower Gene, and the Beast Gene can only be ranked third.
"Hey, Old Victor, I heard you are not playing by the rules? You let the student test the category without completing the gene level test. That's not okay!" At this moment, a pot-bellied middle-aged man with a thermos cup in his hand sauntered in.
This is Mr. Harrison, the homeroom teacher of the senior third-year Class One. Like Victor, he also teaches a key class.
The two classes have been in constant open and covert competitions, and these two teachers are no exceptions.
"By the rules, Old Victor, your monthly bonus will kiss goodbye."
Mr. Harrison opened his flask with a smug expression on his face.
Victor smirked, "Ethan possesses an S-level, Superpower Gene!"
"S-level or not, the rules are the rules... Halfway through his sentence, Mr. Harrison suddenly reacted, "Wait, what did you just say? He is an S-level?!"
Mr. Harrison gawked, looking at Ethan in disbelief. "I don't have time for your nonsense!"
Dragging Ethan, Victor pushed Mr. Harrison aside and rushed out the door.
With a clang, Mr. Harrison's flask was knocked over, spilling hot water all over his shoe.
"Ouch! That's hot!" cried Mr. Harrison.
"Ethan, remember, when you meet the principal later, take as much as you can. Don't be shy!"
When they arrived at the principal's office, Victor advised.
Ethan nodded.
Although Old Victor was known to be stern, everyone could see that he truly cared for his students.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a tall and burly man with an aura of wildness walked in. "Ethan Hayes!"
The Principal's voice echoed thunderously, making Ethan's ears ring.
"I didn't expect this. After so many years, our Sterling High School has produced another S-grade gene, and it's a Superpower Gene at that! Astounding!"
The Principal, with a beaming face, patted Ethan's shoulder, the intensity of his pat nearly toppling Ethan over.
If Ethan hadn't awakened his Black Steel Battle Body gene, he might have been knocked over by now.
"Sorry, sorry, I got a bit too excited." The Principal apologized, scratching his head, "I have a B-grade Brute Force Gene, so I tend to be pretty forceful and sometimes have trouble controlling my strength when I get excited."
The Principal sat down grinning, his gaze subtly glancing at Victor.
