Chapter 103 - Let's Make A Bet!!

"Hahahaha, no problem, we will see your potential," said Mr. Robert, and took out a remote from his pocket. It was exactly the same as the one Principal Li had at that time.

He took it out and clicked a button on it. 

Crank! Craww!! Crank! Whoosshhh....

Came some mechanical sound and a big computer-like thingy appeared from the ground. It looked exactly like an olden era computer but the screen was a virtually projected screen and instead of a keyboard it had an empty board and scanner.

Mr. Robert looked at it and asked, "You all know what's this right?"

Everyone answered yes, except Ryan. Mr. Robert observed it but didn't say anything to him. Instead, he gave a short introduction about it.

"Students, this is an energy measurement device specially designed by Aditya Aizawa. In olden time there used to be those orbs, crystal balls, and other things, but they were not as accurate as this one. This one can measure and convert your chakra energy into numbers. So get ready for the test."

Upon hearing the word test, Ryan was getting excited. In his previous life as Wang Huang he had seen many cultivators who used to break the crystal balls with their unfathomable Qi amount, and now it was his time to take the spotlight and do the same.

"Any ideas, who will go first," asked Mr. Robert.

Upon hearing his question, everyone started shouting and offered themselves for the first one to try the machine. Mr. Robert laughed at their enthusiasm and said, "It's decided then, The first person who will check this machine will be..."

Ryan "Will be…?"

Nagisa "Will be….??"

Other Students "Will be…..???"

"None other than your favorite Robert Sensei!!"

Ryan "...."

Nagisa "...."

Other Students "....."

"What?!! I have to check it first if it's working or not"

"Nacrasist, "

"Nacrasist, "

"Nacrasist, "

"Cough, I can hear you all. Let me configure it first and check. Ryan will be the second one to check it out."

"Okay, sensei," replied everyone in the chorus.

Mr. Robert went near the machine, did some setup and configurations on it, and said, "Finally, it's done," and placed his right-hand palm on the scanner. 

The screen before him glowed and started working. A virtual score counter appeared out of nowhere and started counting the score. 

1...2….300...4000….50000…..100001

It stopped at exactly 100001.

Everyone was shocked by seeing the score of Mr. Robert. At that time he had a prideful flexing laugh on his face and the funniest thing of all he was not even trying to hide it, not anymore.

Apart from that, another thing that the students observed was the formation of a big primate spirit before them.

Mr. Robert laughed at it and said, "No need to fear, it's just a computerized projection of my cultivation spirit."

"Cultivation spirit!!"

"Yes….. Is there anything wrong with it?!!" asked Mr.Robert.

"No, no problem. I just realized you are in the fourth stage."

"Oh….. Well, I am a fourth stage practitioner, and here is my cultivation spirit."

"I see," commented Ryan

"One more thing that makes this computer special is its soul sea projection feature. Since you all are in the first stage of cultivation and don't have a cultivation spirit, it will show a compressed projection of your soul sea."

"Oho"

"So Ryan, are you ready for the test?!!" asked Mr. Robert. All this time he was observing Ryan, and he assumed that he was the only one who hasn't given that test yet, never in his life. So he gave the second chance to him.

Ryan went near the device and like Mr. Robert demonstrated, he put his right hand on the scanner...….

No change, nothing happened, no number was recorded in the device.

Mr. Robert asked Ryan to come back and asked another student randomly to test the device. The boy called for the test put his hand on the scanner like Ryan and watched the numbers increasing on the counter. 

After a minute the counter stopped and showed the number 2000 with a compressed projection of the whale before him. Everyone looked at the number and started cheering for him. Ryan was surprised by the whale projection and asked, "Mr. Robert, is that whale his cultivation spirit or his soul sea?!!"

"It's his cultivation spirit, '' answered Mr. Robert and noted down his scores.

After the boy followed another and got a score of 1800 with a projection of an elephant.

Ryan was confused by these projections and asked again, "Mr. Robert..."

"Yea, this too is a projection of the soul sea. They aren't in the fourth stage, so it's obvious it's their soul sea projection."

"Oh… It's my first time seeing soul sea in the form of animals," commented Ryan

"Hahaha, since the introduction of chakra energy, varieties of new and weird soul seas keep on popping. One of my friends has a soul sea in the form of a leaf."

"Form of a leaf!!" exclaimed Ryan.

"Yea and don't you even dare to think him weak. Cause if we use this device to show the compressed projection of his soul sea, it would cover the entire room completely."

"Oh..." frowned Ryan and didn't comment.

He knew his soul sea was in the shape of a mega galaxy, but thanks to his bitchy luck that device didn't work for him.

While they were talking about soul sea, another student's score came out and it was a perfect 3000 with the soul sea projection of a sword.

Ryan was coughing blood in the side while seeing the weird shapes the soul sees before him. In the past two years, he had dived into his gramps and grannie's soul sea more than once, and both of them had soul sea based on space and celestial bodies. Vast soul seas that will require a month or two to explore.

And here soul seas were in the shape of animals, weapons, and many other weird objects made him feel the laziness of the author. Who gave them random objects as their soul sea.

One after another came all the students and till now the highest score was 5500, with a soul sea projection of a giant tornado covering half of the room. And this person was none other than Rajesh Hiragami.

The person last on the line was Nagisa. All this time she had been observing and remembering the soul sea of the other students. Now it was her time to reveal her score and soul sea projection.

Everybody in the class was curious to see the results, not only the class but also the higher-ups monitoring the room wanted to see the result of the little girl.

"Mr. Li let's make a bet. If that girl's score came above eight thousand I will pay you a hearty bonus from my own pocket and if the score came below that, you will bring me a box of sweets from that newly opened bake shop."

"You mean that Neon something?"

"Yes, that one,"

"Isn't it hard just to do a reservation there and you are asking for a box of them…!!" intervened Miss Ynna.

"Ha!! Are you up for the bet or not," asked chairwoman Linda, disregarding the facts that Ynna stated before them.

Miss Ynna was about to say that it was an unfair bet when Principal Li stopped her and showed her an email on her virtual pad. 

She received the mail but was confused about its content.

'Why did dad send me an email while we were in the same room? He could have told me if he needed something,' pondered Miss Ynna and opened the email.

The subject of the email was a devil smile emoji and with an attached file below. She downloaded the file and opened it.

"Okay, dad will participate in your bet," commented Miss Ynna confidently and gave a wink to her dad.

Principal Li too winked back to her daughter and looked towards the screen that the chairwoman was looking at from the last half an hour.

Nagisa went near the scanner and put her hands on it. The counter started and the numbers on it kept on increasing. After a minute of waiting, her score finally came out and a grin on the father daugher face.

"Chairwoman Linda, your hearty bonus is double than my monthly pay, right?" came a voice from behind asked by a man on his chair.

"Ahem, I don't think I have made any bet with you," said the chairwoman with a smug smile on her face.

"Mr. Li, let's make a bet. If that girl's score came above eight thousand I will pay you a hearty bonus from my own pocket and if the score came below that, you will bring me a box of sweets from that newly opened bake shop," came a sound from behind. 

Chairwoman Linda turned behind and asked, "You have recorded it?!!"

"Thanks to the cameras fitted in my chamber, it got recorded," replied Principal Li with an over-brimming smile.

Chairwoman Linda got pissed and asked with the same over-brimming smiling face, ���Care to tell why the hell have you fitted a camera in your own chamber?"

Principal Li smiled again and said, "For your kind information, it's not me who have fitted the cameras here, it was fitted by my Miss Linda, the chairman of this school."

Chairwoman Linda "...."
