Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1037 Arya's Test
Shi Jia had some idea why Ms. Fron was angry, but would she really offer her head up to get beaten up?

That's definitely not an option. I can only pretend to be clueless with the teacher and then make a quick getaway.

But you can only escape for a while, not forever.

At 9 p.m., the master and apprentice met again on the internet.

"Tell me about it," Fron said, settling into a recliner, closing his eyes, and adopting an air of listening to a story.

Shi Jia glanced at the unusually empty training room today. The only chair was right under Fron's bottom. She was both amused and exasperated; when did the teacher become so stingy?
Okay, even though I made the teacher angry.
"It's the energy atomization theory you mentioned before, teacher," Shi Jia said.

"You succeeded?" Fron opened his eyes wide, staring at her incredulously. "How did you succeed?"

When he proposed this atomization theory, it was purely for show, since no one had ever actually achieved it. What was he thinking at the time?
Oh, it seems he thought that since Little Slana was a level 33 healer, he might be able to succeed. So he shared this theory with her, but didn't he regret it later?

Anyway, after that, he dared to say anything.

"Yes, it worked!" Shi Jia couldn't help but be happy. "And now I know why I couldn't succeed before."

"What is it?" Fron asked impatiently.

"Mental strength!"

"Huh? You broke through in mental strength? S-rank?" Fron was astonished. This rate of progress was simply unbelievable! If he remembered correctly, Little Slana hadn't had any time to improve her mental strength recently!

"No, it's about controlling mental power." Shi Jia's smile widened as she happily shared with Fron what she had learned in her mecha basics class that afternoon.

Finally, he concluded, "Teacher, I think all of us healers should learn mecha. It would not only increase our means of registration but also improve our mental strength and healing skills! It's a win-win situation. Isn't that great?"

Fron's surprised expression immediately turned into something indescribable.

"Little Slana, have you ever thought that there are many ways to train your mental strength, and you don't necessarily have to learn how to ride a mecha?"

They used to not pay much attention to mental strength, but now they understand. They can simply add a mental strength training course for healing students in the future.

As for the course content? There are so many options, such as using mental energy to pick up beans, mental energy to carve, and mental energy to count hairs—that's quite detailed, isn't it?

In any case, I can't arrange any mecha classes; it's too unbecoming of a healer.

Fron didn't understand why Slana was so enthusiastic about mecha combat. But he didn't want to know either; he was simply too afraid.

"Let's talk about how this relates to group therapy."

"I'm giving a group energy spray, and it doesn't require a mental link. Isn't that group healing?" It's just that the energy can't be recovered. Shi Jia felt it was a pity.

"What is the maximum range? How much mental energy does it consume?"

“Teacher, I just thought of that today.” Shi Jia stared wide-eyed.

"Okay, I understand. I remember the purification mission of the Imperial Capital Star Guard hasn't been completed yet. I'll arrange for you to take over."

"Ah? Teacher, I..."

"Don't worry, the relevant funds will be transferred to your account." Fron glanced at the student, knowing exactly what she was thinking. Sigh, who would have thought that a 3S healer like her would be so greedy for money.

Shi Jia retorted angrily, "Hmph, try being in debt for hundreds of millions!"

Although she is not short of money, she is indeed in debt.

It was already 11 o'clock when she came down from the optical network. Due to overuse of her mental energy, her head was throbbing with pain. "Si Liyue."

"My lady, here! Mental energy recovery potion." Siliyue took out a transparent bottle containing a milky white liquid.

"No need, I'm going to sleep right away." Shi Jia waved his hand. "Just buy me a mecha, something suitable for a beginner. It doesn't need to be anything fancy." "Okay."

"Um, I don't seem to have enough money in my account. Could you lend me some?" Shi Jia was a little embarrassed. She had returned most of the money she had received to the guards.

"I'll pay you when the treatment fees for today arrive."

Sili Yue opened her mouth, but ultimately agreed. Having spent so much time together, they knew that the adults were very careful with money.

However, what the adults didn't realize was that money is easy to calculate, but human relationships are difficult to calculate. The adults always didn't want to owe them anything, but they didn't know that the adults already owed them a lot.

"Ailiya, what's wrong? You're acting strange today," Shi Jia asked, looking at her friend with a puzzled expression. Why was she staring at her?
Aria lowered her eyes and shook her head. "No, it's nothing."

"Are you sure you're okay?" You're kidding me. You've looked preoccupied since this morning.

Arya remained silent.

"Aria, although I don't know what happened to you, please tell me if I can help." Shi Jia thought for a moment and decided to say this. She liked Aria quite a bit and was very happy to be friends with her.

It's only right for friends to help each other.

Aria shook her head. "Slana, thank you, but you can't help me."

"Oh? What happened to you?" Shi Jia asked, somewhat worried.

"My mental energy went berserk last night." Aria looked dejected. She wasn't lying; her mental energy had indeed gone berserk last night.

Avril's words irritated her. Then she dreamt of the day her talent awakened, when Avril tampered with her food. In the dream, her mental energy went berserk.

"How could this be?" Shi Jia asked worriedly. "What could be the reason?" Mental energy doesn't usually go berserk easily, but if it has been contaminated, it is particularly easy to be stimulated and go berserk.

Aria took a deep breath and opened the smart device. "Look."

"Mental strength S+, pollution level 60%. How can the pollution level be so high?" The mental strength pollution level of ordinary people, including minors, is only 5%-10%.

“Yesterday’s pollution level was 50%,” Aria said, shutting down her AI again. “Last night’s riots increased by 10%. At this rate, I might not be able to break through to 2S level.”

Her mental strength talent is 3S, and it is not easy to go from S to 3S. First of all, it is best to keep the pollution value below 50%. If the pollution value is above 50%, the mental strength may go berserk during the breakthrough, or even become a cripple.

"Oh? So that's why you're so down today?" Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought it was something serious.

Seeing Shi Jia's reaction, Aria's suspicions were confirmed. "Slana, you don't understand."

"Huh? I don't understand?" Shi Jia was a little confused. What didn't she understand? Mental pollution? That was her specialty. If she didn't understand it, who did?
“The Empire’s strongest healer is only A+ rank, while I am S+ rank, and my mental strength limit is 3S. No healer can give me deep healing.” Aria pursed her lips, looking stubborn.

Shi Jia froze upon hearing this; she remembered that she was currently attending school under a false identity. However, she retorted, "Who said there wasn't one!"

"Huh?" Aria looked surprised.

“Didn’t a 3S healer appear a while ago? You’re only S+ level now, so he can heal you more than enough. What are you worried about?” Shi Jia said seriously to Ailiya.

"Huh? But wasn't that healer attacked by space pirates?"

“That’s right, it was reported in the news, but later it was said that he was saved. Didn’t you see the news?” Shi Jia said. “At that time, the Emperor and the Healing Center jointly issued a statement.”

"Don't you know about this?"

Arya opened her mouth, "I know, but nobody knows where this healer is right now?"

"What does it matter if we don't know? As long as the healing center knows, that's enough!" Shi Jia said with great interest.

Aria looked completely bewildered, and even a little embarrassed to see someone she knew putting on an act.
