After hanging up the call with Merlin, Sebastian poured himself a glass of water. He drank water on one side while tapping on the communicator on the other. This old communicator had been around for a long time, but there was a response.
Soon Sebastian opened the page of the Genius List. Since he wasn't on the projection, Sebastian could only search page by page. This was the latest edition of the Genius List and it was also the last edition before the examination.
At this time, there were only ten days left before the examination. Many students' strength was pretty much set in stone, of course, Sebastian was excluded. In ten days, Greater Terra could still evolve for many years.
Sebastian first turned to the back of the list to find his rankings. In the previous edition, Sebastian's ranking in the list was 8,881st. Sebastian swept a quick look, and then the water in his mouth erupted out.
"9,881st?" Sebastian blinked, slightly stunned.
In less than two months, he directly dropped by a thousand places and almost fell off the list. Who set this sh*tty ranking? It was a little too much. How dare they claim it to be the best list?
Sebastian couldn't help but curse. Sebastian's mood did not fluctuate, the list was ultimately just a list after all, what mattered was the examination result.
After scrolling up the list, Sebastian looked up the rankings of others to make Merlin personally communicate, that there must be something different.
Not 8,000.
Not 7,000.
Not 6,000.
He went all the way to the top 5,000.
Sebastian then saw a familiar name, Sylvia Lucy, at the 4,555th place. As compared to the previous edition, she surpassed more than 5,000 people. Sebastian blinked his eyes, but Lucy could not pose any threat to him, so he kept scrolling up.
What made Sebastian slightly surprised was that there was another familiar name. In the end, on the first page of the list, Sebastian saw Eve Bailey. She was ranked in the 100th place. She directly jumped from more than 2,000 to the top 100, her speed could be called faster than a rocket.
"No wonder the Principal wanted me to take a look at the list." Sebastian instantly realized.
More than 2,000 and the top 100 were different. The top 100 were geniuses among geniuses, all of them were called peerless geniuses. After this list was out, top students in this year's examination, no one would think that there was suspense anymore.
Even if it was Merlin, who had more confidence in Sebastian, he had nothing to say. The gap was too big, it could only make people feel powerless. Of course, except for the middle-aged supervisor of the Planetary Association.
His awakened planet was less than three months old, but he was able to get the evaluation of the Elite Star Hunter. What does that mean? The middle-aged supervisor was clear.
"Bailey ranked in the top 100? It's alarming, it's just a pity..." The middle-aged man was sitting in his office, browsing through this freshly released list, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
He shook his head and muttered to himself. "I met an even more exaggerated fellow, and they are bound to become a milestone again."
***
In the masterless star field, on a luxury airship.
A room away, Jurou Alberts was standing there.
The door opened. From the inside, Lucy, who looked a little tired, came out.
"How did it go?" Alberts asked.
"The four-and-a-half-star difficulty mission was successfully passed." Lucy slowly said, and then frowned slightly and said, "It's just that for the five five-star mission, I'm still a little lacking."
"Four and a half stars is good enough." Alberts nodded slightly and said, "Five stars is still a little too difficult for you right now. There are only a handful of geniuses who can pass the five-star difficulty task in less than three months after awakening the planet."
"Brother, then my current strength should be able to compete with Bailey, right?" Lucy asked.
For any genius, the examination was very important, especially for this year. Three geniuses ranked on the list had emerged, and there was only one position for the first prize. Lucy naturally regarded the other two as rivals.
Alberts did not answer this question directly. Instead, he projected the communicator and said, "The latest Ranking has been released, so look at it yourself."
Lucy looked over with a hint of curiosity and nervousness. After a while, her eyes suddenly widened.
"How can this be possible-!" Lucy was a little surprised and said: "How come she suddenly jumped up to the top 100?"
Although she also saw her ranking, her ranking had the same surge. She came in the top five thousand, but compared to Bailey, it was not even close. She couldn't be happy at all.
"Bailey's teacher is a level five planet master, and should have given her very valuable resources." Alberts guessed a little.
Then he looked at Lucy and said, "But you should not be discouraged either. With your current strength, your true position is at least in the top 2,000 of the Ranking. Just take it easy in the next few days. It may not be impossible to reach the top thousand, or even... a higher position."
Bailey nodded, her face showing a hint of determination as she said, "I understand. I can't compete for the number-one spot. Then I will compete for the top 1,000, the top 500, and get a ticket to a super university."
"In the next few days, your development of those Magicians and Warriors will stop for a while, with training as the main focus, and I will do my best to help you develop tactics," Alberts said with a solemn expression.
Even if she was an admissions teacher at Celestina University, she could only try to use some of the school's resources to help Lucy. In the matter of admissions, there was not much to be done. Everything was determined by the results of the exam.
If she didn't do well and didn't get the grades required by the top institutes then Alberts can only watch and sigh.
"Okay." Lucy nodded, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What about Sebastian? Where does he rank?"
"Sebastian's ranking is very low." Alberts said indifferently, "I don't know what's going on, but he's not the one you have to worry about anymore."
There were only ten days until the entrance exam, everyone else was solidifying their current level. In turn, Sebastian accelerated the flow of time slightly and continued development. The Imperium was changing with each passing day. Of course, this was within the Astra Militarum, the people outside didn't feel any change at all.
The steam train was born a few years ago, but because there were too many aspects involved, it was stopped by Elizabeth. The current Imperium was preparing for the matter of glory conquest.
Tens of thousands of Scientists and hundreds of thousands of logisticians were working closely with each other like a huge machine to bring out the maximum performance, there was also a group of talented Scientists led by Elizabeth.
They also spared no effort to carry out research and development one by one. It was a nationwide effort, so the eruption of power was also very frightening. One result after another was born and it was completely unstoppable.
Shortly after the invention of the semi-automatic rifle, the automatic rifle came out. With the introduction of the automatic rifle, a new and terrifying weapon was conceived by many Scientists, a rapid rifle that could fire bullets continuously.
In terms of ammunition, there had also been an extraordinary improvement during this period. After the yellow gunpowder, another byproduct was born, Trinitrotoluene or TNT was formed.
Since then, it has replaced the yellow powder and become the mainstream of gunpowder. After that, there was another chemist who took it one step further and invented smokeless gunpowder, this made many of the envisioned high-powered weapons possible.
Some Scientists were obsessed with the research of machines that could fly to the sky. However, this was a bit beyond the times, so nothing was accomplished, and in terms of theory, Elizabeth's research on energy made a breakthrough during the same year.
The first law of thermodynamics has since been discovered and it is also known as the law of conservation of energy. Energy neither rises nor disappears out of thin air; it is only transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains the same.
Despite being busy with various technologies, it was not very practical but for the second technological frenzy that followed, it played a huge role.
