Chapter 792 – Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 59

After finishing all three books, a clear growth trajectory belonging to truly top-tier prodigies gradually took shape in her mind.

“Tomorrow when I go back to school, they’ll definitely want to redo my psychic power test…” Mo Lan’s fingers tapped lightly against the pages as she silently contemplated what level she should present at the examination.

Directly matching the monsters from the 《Sun Volume》? That would be no different from a lighthouse in the dark night — she would instantly become the focal point of every gaze and unknown danger.

The Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World was different from the Dreamweaver World.

Her current mana level hadn’t yet reached the upper limit of the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World, and while her psychic power level had, both her Witch Magic and mage magic ranks still fell far short.

Drawing the attention of those who had truly touched — or even surpassed — the pinnacle of this world’s power too early would not be a good thing for her.

“No, there’s no need to be that aggressive.” Mo Lan shook her head slightly and made a more prudent decision. “I’ll just use the average level of those commoner prodigies who were renowned for their ‘growth speed’ during their youth in the 《Three Thousand Mirror Ruins Prodigy Record: Star Volume》 as the basis for my outward display of strength!”

“Hmm… fifteen years old, psychic power at roughly the Three-Star Second Stage level.”

This level would certainly be enough to claim first place in the Eastern China Alliance’s national mirror exploration academy entrance examination.

It would also attract attention and resource allocation from the school and even higher levels, paving the way for her future development.

Most critically, it was safe. A fifteen-year-old at Three-Star Second Stage would be considered a genius worth investing in within the Deer Cry Mirror, the Eastern China Alliance, or even Mirror Ruins University — but to the truly powerful beings of this world, it wouldn’t be earth-shattering. After all, historically, prodigies at her displayed level could only rank in the lower-middle tier of the weakest Star Volume in the 《Three Thousand Mirror Ruins Prodigy Record》.

After completing all these preparations, she sat down at her desk, spread out letter paper, and began writing a letter to Teacher Yan Shuang.

In the letter, she first briefly reported her safety, stating that she had successfully returned from the Gushing Spring Forest Sea.

She then heavily “edited and abridged” the thrilling exploration experiences of the past year and more, focusing on describing how she had painstakingly searched for Thorn-Spined Glowworms, how she had cautiously evaded high-level mirror beasts, and how she had diligently trained under pressure. As for the astonishing feats of hunting down seven-star mirror beasts and completing the full bestiary collection, she omitted them entirely.

Next, she attached her “latest” psychic power test results and earnestly expressed her hope to schedule makeup lessons as soon as possible, seeking the teacher’s guidance on further improvement in combat techniques and advice on choosing her first three-star beast core skill.

After sending the letter to Teacher Yan Shuang’s private mailbox, Mo Lan quickly washed up and went to rest. Even though meditation could restore psychic power, her body desperately needed a thorough rest.

The next morning, Mo Lan had just gotten up when she heard a faint hum from the mailbox in the Teleportation Room — a letter had arrived.

She walked over and picked up the letter. It was a reply from Teacher Yan Shuang! She immediately tore it open. The contents were as concise and decisive as always:

“Acknowledged. Come to school today. Report directly to the Mirror Explorer Class One classroom on the fifth-year floor of Bright Moon Building.”

Mo Lan didn’t dare delay. She quickly got herself ready, changed into a clean combat uniform, and headed to the public teleportation hall to take the teleportation array.

Over a year had passed, and the fourth-year students who had originally been training and studying in Starlight Building had already advanced to fifth year and moved to the adjacent Bright Moon Building.

Following the instructions in the letter, Mo Lan easily found the classroom for “Fifth-Year Mirror Explorer Class One” inside Bright Moon Building.

Pushing open the classroom door, just like before, desks and chairs had already been arranged inside, but no students had arrived yet.

She walked straight toward the back rows of the classroom to find her seat.

After an “absence” of over a year, having missed multiple important school ranking examinations, she was lucky just to have retained her spot in Mirror Explorer Class One. Since seating was arranged by ranking, and she hadn’t taken any exams, she was surely already reassigned to the position symbolizing the class’s “dead last.”

“Huh? How come it’s not here?” Mo Lan found Zhu Rao’s name at the very last seat, but there was no seat with her name nearby.

Walking further and further forward, she didn’t find her own name until she reached the second seat. “Third place? How am I still third?” Mo Lan was surprised.

The others’ rankings hadn’t changed much from the original aptitude test results either. All twelve students remained — no one had dropped out of Mirror Explorer Class One.

Before long, classmates began arriving one by one.

When everyone saw Mo Lan sitting in her seat, there was a collective moment of stunned silence, followed by a small burst of commotion and surprised exclamations.

“Mo Lan? You’re back?!”

“Oh my god! Thank goodness you’re okay! I heard you went to a super dangerous mirror space!”

“It’s been so long — are you alright?”

The classmates crowded around, talking over each other as they expressed their concern and welcome.

Only then did Mo Lan learn that among them, Chen Xingye currently had the highest psychic power level, and even he was only at One-Star Ninth Stage. Lin Yue was slightly behind him at One-Star Eighth Stage Peak, while Su Yu and Zhao Wuchen had both just broken through to One-Star Eighth Stage.

The reason she had retained her third-place position was that the psychic power test result from her last assessment in front of Teacher Yan Shuang over a year ago could still rank third in the class even now.

Mo Lan smiled as she responded to everyone’s concern, her tone warm but maintaining an appropriate distance. She simply explained that she had spent extra time in the secret realm to hunt mirror beasts.

The class bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats as Teacher Yan Shuang appeared at the podium.

Her gaze swept across the entire class, pausing on Mo Lan for perhaps a tenth of a second. Without making any comment about her return, she directly produced a stack of papers:

“These are the registration forms for the 《National Mirror Exploration Academy Entrance Examination》. Fill them out carefully and submit them to me. The school will handle the unified registration for everyone.”

The forms were distributed, and the classroom filled with the rustling sound of writing and barely suppressed excited chatter.

Mo Lan also picked up her pen and smoothly filled in her information.

The form was quite simple, containing only fields for name, age, place of origin, school, aptitude test results, and mailbox teleportation number — it didn’t even require listing psychic power level.

After all, the national mirror exploration academy entrance examination had always tested practical mirror exploration ability, scoring candidates based on the number of mirror beasts hunted.

It didn’t take long before she finished and handed it in.

After everyone had submitted their registration forms, Teacher Yan Shuang went over a few final notes regarding preparation for the last three months, and then class was dismissed.

“Mo Lan, come with me.”

Under the curious gazes of the others, Mo Lan followed Teacher Yan Shuang to her private training ground.

Yan Shuang closed the door, shutting out all sounds from the outside world, then pointed toward the high-precision psychic power testing device on one side of the training ground and looked at Mo Lan. “Now, show me your test.”
