Chapter 31: Physical Measurements

"Former Navy SEALs, Arnold Johnson reports to you." As soon as he reached the door, the muscular man in a short blue T-shirt next to Professor Manstein gave a serious military salute.

Lin Nian was stunned by this posture, and subconsciously returned a Young Pioneer salute: "Our school still recruits members of the Navy SEALs?" Oh... It turns out that the conductor said that the Navy SEALs were you. ”

"Most of them are school workers, and Arnold also works part-time as a nutritionist and a battlefield survival instructor, and he was one of the few people in the Navy SEALs who was responsible for the training of the team members and also took care of their physical condition." Professor Manstein lifted his round-rimmed glasses: "Arrived on time, did Fingal show you the way?" How I didn't see others. ”

"I left early, I should be afraid that you will be a little embarrassed to bump into your mentor." Lin Nian looked back at the empty end of the cobblestone path.

"The Discipline Inspector doesn't care about the mess on the forum, it's the freedom of the students, he probably just did other bad things and didn't dare to see me." Manstein said lightly: "Regardless of him, let's go in and start." ”

"What exactly does the physical test measure? I heard Brother Fingal say that the college's physical education curriculum is about hand-to-hand combat and cold weapon combat? Lin Nian followed Manstein and the tall Arnold staff to open the door of the gymnasium.

"You will indeed be exposed to those courses gradually, but today we will only do basic physical fitness tests, such as 100-meter run and lung capacity." Arnold's school worker spoke, his voice was very strong, worthy of the burly figure, the kind of voice that could be heard as a fierce man without anyone but by hearing.

"Will every student be tested when they enter the school?"

"Not really, because not every student is physically adept." Arnold said, "But your physical test was arranged by Norma, and I heard that this is what Principal Angers meant. ”

Lin Nian nodded thoughtfully, it was the principal again, he had heard the name Ange from countless people, but he had never met this mysterious centenarian at all, counting the only foreigners he had seen in his memory, and it was impossible for him to have any old acquaintance with this principal.

Manstein lit the stadium's lights, which were empty under the incandescent light and covered with an indoor plastic track. The interior is lined with wooden floors, and there are several areas such as basketball and tennis courts.

"I asked Norma to clear this place as a physical testing venue, and students who want to get up early to exercise may have to find a new place." Manstein's voice echoed through the huge gymnasium.

"Test the 100-meter run first? May I ask what the school's 100m record is? Lin Nian was led to the plastic track by Arnold's school workers, and he stepped on the track to try the grip of his sneakers.

"7.32 seconds." Arnold said, "It was set by a male cadet in the class of 2001. ”

"Really? This is already a world record, right? Lin Nian was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the "excellent" talents in the academy to be so outstanding.

"The Olympic world record doesn't apply to us, and it doesn't take into account the use of the power of the spirit of speech, which you'll learn later in class." Professor Manstein said.

"I know what the Spirit of Speech is... Superpowers, Brother Fingal gave me some common sense. Lin Nian said.

"Superpowers... It's okay for you to say that, but theoretically speaking, the spirit of speech is a manifestation of the power of the dragon's language. Manstein scratched his eyebrows: "You don't have to worry, the physical strength of the half-breed will increase significantly in a short period of time after awakening the bloodline, the records of the predecessors are for reference only, don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”

"Do you need to warm up first?" Arnold walked from the side with two instruments that looked like large transmitters on his shoulders.

"Yes." Lin Nian nodded and started stretching on the plastic runway, while Manstein and Arnold on the side waited quietly, until he stopped, Arnold walked to the other side of the plastic track and put down the equipment.

Lin Nian stood in front of the starting gear and prepared for running, and Professor Manstein held the starting pistol in his hand and said, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready." Lin Nian said.

"Count down to three seconds." Manstein said.

Lin Nian silently counted three seconds in his heart, and the sound of the starting pistol suddenly sounded in his ears, and he ejected it instantly, Manstein only felt that there was wind around him, and when he looked up again, Lin Nian's back was already twenty meters away, and Manstein, who was shocked by this exaggerated starting speed, even forgot the number of seconds in his heart, and was stunned for a moment, and the infrared emission instrument next to the plastic runway 100 meters away sounded the prompt, and Lin Nian had already crossed the line.

"7.28 seconds, a record." Arnold said as he looked at Professor Manstein, who was hurrying over.

"Are you sure you made a mistake?" Manstein was stunned, and Lin Nian broke a record just before the physical test began.

"When the starting pistol and the infrared instrument are connected together, the timing error of the starting point is only 0.01 seconds." Arnold's school worker looked at Lin Nian, who was not red and out of breath beside him, like looking at a monster.

"7.28 seconds? It's slower than I expected, maybe I'm too nervous. Lin Nian exhaled a few times and moved his joints a few times.

"Did you test it privately yourself? What is the best grade? Manstein asked.

"It's been less than 7 seconds." Lin Nian recalled and said: "But the timekeeper may not be accurate myself, after all, I ran with a stopwatch in my hand during the test, do I need to test again?" ”

"This score is already okay, this physical test does not record any results, just want to understand your physical condition." Professor Manstein paused for a moment and said slowly: "This result is very good, and it is estimated that only two students in the academy can achieve it. ”

"Actually, I thought about joining the track and field team before, but I was worried that one day I would have to be sent to the hospital as a monster if I couldn't stop my legs." Lin Nian observed the reactions of Manstein and Arnold, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that the two of them did not show expressions of fear and shock.

"It seems that you are a student with a significant individual ability, not all hybrids have an advantage in physical fitness, and some hybrids excel in their minds, they can be more sensitive to numbers than the Wall Street group, and they can deduce formulas in their brains just by seeing the equation and getting results." Professor Manstein said: "Let's go and prepare the next physical test, you can take a break and adjust your breathing, take your time, we have a whole morning to complete the physical test." ”

Lin Nian nodded and walked to the seat in the distance, Manstein silently watched him walk away, and the Arnold school worker next to him finally couldn't suppress his hidden emotions and whispered: "Some good things are too much." ”

"yes, it's a little too good," Manstein also whispered, "7.28 seconds, that's not the physical strength of a freshman with an unawakened bloodline." ”

"Maybe he's done a vision before and awakens the bloodline, but he forgot it? Psionic vision does not necessarily need to be awakened by Long Wen, and there is a precedent for this situation. Arnold speculated.

"But there is no sign of the 'golden pupil' on his body, and he does not have his own speech spirit, which is a typical sign that the bloodline has not yet awakened." Manstein whispered: "Actually, I'd rather he had already awakened the bloodline, but he didn't know it, we are too good for people like us, and sometimes it's not a good thing." ”

"You're worried that he's after the visionβ€”" Arnold's eyes welled up with vigilance.

"No, the physical test has just begun, it's too early to draw conclusions, he is the person who was recruited into the academy by name by the principal, and I believe in the principal's vision." Manstein shook his head and said lightly: "After the physical test is completed today, all records will be sealed in Norma's archives, and the reading privilege will be adjusted to the 'S' level." ”

"Yes." Arnold saluted silently, even after many years of retirement from the Navy SEALs, he couldn't break this habit, and the orders of his superiors in the army were absolute.
