A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 102 Test, Examination
Judging from the test results, Lin Wuming's superpowers are actually very ordinary, and what is truly eye-catching is his impressive combat record.

Of course, even from a practical perspective, the telekinesis ability that Lin Wuming displayed in the underground training ground that day could not be called the "strongest" among level 3, but his combat record was the most eye-catching - a full sixty lives became the footnote of his level 3 "telekinesis".

Therefore, the guard force can only be neutrally evaluated as "good at fighting".

"Even so, it's quite impressive," Captain Haiya said with emotion. "I can't imagine how a level 3 Nen ability could reach that level."

Under normal circumstances, the combat performance of a Level 3 "Telekinetic" can only be described as average, not too weak but not too strong either, which is consistent with the inherent impression of "Telekinetic" as the "most common type of superpower".

Hearing the security teachers' discussions, Lin Wuming could confirm that they were indeed doubting his true strength. But it was obvious that even the most comprehensive and rigorous ability level test could not reveal any flaws.

"Student Wuming, how did you do it?" a security teacher asked directly.

Lin Wuming thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about the specific reason, maybe it's just because I'm good at using my telepathic abilities. After all, the specific effect of superpowers still depends on the individual performance of the ability user. Well, how should I put it... there are no useless superpowers, only useless ability users."

——Actually, it’s all thanks to the “bullet time” cheat…

Lin Wuming already had the answer to their doubts. Because of the blessing of "bullet time", he could have more time to control his telekinesis ability, thus performing at a level far beyond that of a level 3 or even level 4 "telekinetic user".

Of course, this kind of thing can't be easily revealed. So, I can only pick some inspirational "correct nonsense" as an excuse.

Anyway, things like superpowers are inherently idealistic, so there's nothing wrong with just shouting slogans.

"The library information is accurate and doesn't need to be updated," the security guard in charge of registration said with some regret. "What a shame! I thought it could be upgraded to a higher level."

"Take it easy, there should be a chance." Lin Wuming comforted him in return.

But to be honest, Lin Wuming didn't have much confidence as to whether his ability level could be improved.

Academy City has an unspoken rule called "literacy judgment". The growth ceiling of each ability user is determined from the beginning, which is the so-called "qualification".

Without the necessary talent, no matter how much training and development one undergoes, it's difficult to improve one's ability level. Official propaganda attributes Misaka Mikoto's advancement from level 1 to level 5 to her hard work, but that's only one factor. The main reason is that she was destined to become a level 5 from the very beginning.

Lin Wuming actually had no confidence in his qualifications. After all, this body was originally a member of the "Removing the Coarse and Retaining the Essence" group. If he really had the qualifications, he wouldn't have ended up being a guinea pig for illegal experiments at such an old age...

"Telekinesis" is the original ability of this body, and "bullet time" is the golden finger that Lin Wuming possesses as a time traveler. If he wants to become stronger in the future, he can probably only rely on it.

After the test was over, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi hurriedly followed Huang Quanchuan Aihui back home.

The guards who stayed at the headquarters continued to study Lin Wuming's test report, as if they wanted to find out the secret of Lin Wuming's powerful strength from this mediocre information.

"Well," someone said at last, "there's only one possibility left—the Dark May plan."

No one present forgot that Lin Wuming’s origins lay in that now-notorious illegal experiment.

And that experiment just happened to have the effect of improving one's abilities.

Thinking back to the persistence that Black Moon Technology had shown towards Lin Wuming… “Sure enough, Lin Wuming was the successful subject of that experiment.”

The office fell into silence.

"If our speculation is true, then it's a big joke..." Captain Haiya exclaimed.

Lin Wuming, the main hero in destroying "Black Moon Technology", is the greatest achievement of the "Dark May" plan - is there anything more ironic than this?
Those present were all adults, and they were well aware of the other side of Academy City and its "essence." If the feasibility of the "Dark May" plan was proven, there was no doubt that similar experiments would continue in some corner.

"We can't be sure about the connection between Lin Wuming's superpowers and that experiment," Captain Haiya decisively decided. "This is just irresponsible speculation from outsiders like us. There's no need to release it publicly. We should just continue to observe Lin Wuming's situation. It's also possible that he truly has excellent personal qualifications."

The security teachers present nodded in unison, but even Captain Haiya, who had said this, did not quite believe the so-called "excellent personal qualifications".

It's just... there's no better explanation.

After finishing the ability level test, Lin Wuming was not idle either, because a new test was coming.

The “entry test” for the discipline committee members.

In most ordinary schools, there are basically two student self-governing organizations: the "Student Union" and the "Discipline Committee".

In the special city of Academy City, the "Discipline Committee" is equivalent to a special organization that manages all schools in the city at the same time.

It's meaningless. This is an elite organization that selects the best of the best. If you want to join it, you must go through very strict assessments.

Due to various reasons, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi have actually been internally selected. Unless there are unexpected events, joining the Discipline Committee is a foregone conclusion.

But even so, all the necessary procedures must be followed, including twelve adaptability tests in both written and physical aspects, nine agreements that must be signed, and a four-month training program.

The testing process has already begun for Tiger Bee Honey, so I will also pay attention to exercising at home.

Lin Wuming, however, was unable to carry out any training or physical training due to an injury. However, this time could not be wasted; he had to pass the theoretical training and the corresponding exams in one go.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the assessment of the discipline committee members is very difficult, even to the point of being harsh, almost combining the difficulty of the two major assessments of national civil servants and professional athletes.

It is difficult for ordinary people to pass such an assessment.

However, Academy City is a world of espers, and the vast majority of those who sign up to be members of the Discipline Committee are espers of level 2 or above.

After going through the ability development course, even if it is only a level 2 psychic, its brain computing ability - in other words, "IQ" - will be much higher than that of ordinary people.

For people with super powers, the assessment of the discipline committee is only "slightly difficult".

Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi are high-level ability users of level 3 and level 4 respectively. If they put in a little effort, they will certainly have no problem coping with the exam.
