My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 350: Superhero Cadet

Elysia took Linda to the Superhero Academy using a taxi. She took care of some paperwork and paid the tuition fee for regular entry.

She didn’t wish to spoil Linda through the VIP or exclusive route because her primary purpose there was for Linda to focus on studying without getting too many privileges.

"Linda, this instructor will guide you for your entrance exam." Elysia came out of the office and introduced the instructor next to her.

"Pleased to meet you, Cadet Linda. I am Instructor Yun. Please follow me to complete the procedure." Instructor Yun greeted politely, but she was still nervous because the handsome young master next to her was a hidden expert, the unmeasurable one!

She had met several S-Class superheroes and even the SS-Class in the top 20 world ranking, but this man couldn’t even be compared to those high-level espers at all! She secretly tried to check his level, but the level appraisal device always showed Error EX!

"..." Linda didn’t answer immediately. She looked to her young master for permission.

"Go. I’ll watch from the side." Elysia laughed lightly and patted Linda on the back.

The three of them went to the private training ground. Instructor Yun asked Linda for personal data to confirm the form and took out the military-grade appraisal device from the suitcase.

"Your newly awakened superpower is still unknown, huh... It’s a common thing. I can feel an esper aura from you. This one is a power meter. I will measure your level and check your potential rank." Instructor Yun put on the glasses-like device and activated it.

The first thing she wanted to check more with that military-grade appraisal device was the mysterious expert in the corner of the room.

[Error: EX]

Young Master El’s status remained the same. She couldn’t peer this mysterious expert’s level and hidden potential at all! She then looked at the pretty girl in front of her.

[Level: 21(E) | Potential: S Rank]

Instructor Yun was happy to know the appraisal device worked well. It wasn’t broken. Regardless, she noticed Linda’s potential was impressive for a cadet.

"Cadet Linda, can you try to use your superpower or channel your spiritual energy? Anything will do. I will help you discover your talents and hidden potential." Instructor Yun asked with sparkling eyes as if she had just discovered a hidden gem. Someone brought by an expert was definitely not just a random nobody.

"I will try it." Linda showed her determination with action.

She tried to use her superpower and experimented with several things but couldn’t manifest anything. Not even a simple ball of energy could be created, even though the instructor guided her step by step.

Elysia looked at her wristwatch and then watched Linda with an amused smile.

"Uh-huh... somehow, this is getting tiring." Linda panted and slumped down. She managed to gather the spiritual energy in her body into her hand, which was her most outstanding achievement in her various attempts.

"Linda, take this." Elysia threw a spirit stone and a seed.

"Ah?" Linda caught the fallen rocks reflexively. She checked them. It was a small piece of grey crystal and a fruit seed.

She had no idea why her young master suddenly gave these items to her. Yet, a surprising phenomenon suddenly unfolded before her eyes. The crystal fragment crumbled to dust, and the seed gradually transformed into a tree seedling.

Startled, she dropped the tree seedling on the ground, and it soon grew into a young tree.

"This power is... the seed of life!?" Instructor Yun widened her eyes in shock.

"Did you see it wrong? It’s energy exchange. She used the spirit stone’s energy and transferred it to the seed for it to fast grow. So, what about the final evaluation?" Elysia explained a little and peeked at the paper evaluation.

"This, her potential is at S Rank, but that doesn’t mean she will immediately become an S-Class esper. As for her ability... because she is a non-combatant, she will start as an E-Class cadet." Instructor Yun filled in the form.

"That’s a bit unfair, but well... You need to study and practice diligently from now on, Linda. Here’s your card. Use your money wisely." Elysia handed over her blue card.

She kept around five million USD on the card, the leftover from selling items at auction when she visited Earth five years ago.

’That’s how our last Earth’s currency went. We are now broke.’ Elena muttered in an amused tone.

’It’s okay. I still have several thousand USD in cash.’ Elysia smiled faintly.

"Young master... would you visit me sometime? Can I?" Linda received the blue card, but she was more concerned with when she could meet her young master again.

"Yeah, soon. Receive your new superphone and save my number. Also, this is your mother’s caretaker’s info. You can contact them if you want to talk to your mother." Elysia showed her QR code on her phone and handed over two business cards.

Instructor Yun gave the cadet ID card and the superphone to Linda. She had the strong urge to scan Young Master El’s number but didn’t dare to do so.

"My first contact is Young Master El." Linda held her new phone with a slight blush on her face, happy about many things.

"Alright. It’s time for me to go. Instructor Yun, please take care of Linda well." Elysia gave Linda a head pat and turned around, waving her hand in farewell.

"Alright, sir. Allow me to escort you out." Instructor Yun volunteered to guide.

"Okay." Elysia didn’t mind it.

Linda hurried to follow because she also wanted to accompany her young master. On the way, Instructor Yun asked her to read the guidebook on her superphone.

She checked them briefly, but her phone suddenly asked for her bank account all of a sudden.

"Instructor Yun, may I know what this is?" Linda asked curiously.

"Please register your bank account. That’s the blue card. Even though you’re a cadet, you can still earn income. Everything is deposited in your WUF account, but you still need an international bank account for some cases." Instructor Yun pointed to the blue card in Linda’s hand.

"O-oh!" Linda nodded in understanding and immediately registered her card.

The number was printed on the card, and surprisingly, the personal identification number was only six zeros.

"You need to change the PIN, or Instructor Yun might steal your money~" Elysia laughed.

"Wha-" Linda moved away and covered her phone.

"Err, I won’t do such a thing." Instructor Yun covered her eyes and looked away.

After changing the PIN, Linda accessed her account. Her WUF balance was zero, but her total balance was more than five million USD!

"Young master, this..." Linda felt embarrassed because the amount was too much.

"Keep it. You’re going to need it." Elysia raised her hand.

"Young master, thank you. Linda will use it wisely." Linda nodded in understanding. She was grateful and happy because her young master was thoughtful and caring.

"Good girl." Elysia stroked Linda’s head before walking away from the Superhero Academy.

Linda waved her hands until her young master couldn’t be seen anymore.

"Cadet Linda, please go to your dorm to move your things. Your class will start tomorrow. You can go around the academy to adapt to our facilities. Your uniforms will be sent to your room soon. You can access all the information on your superphone." Instructor Yun changed her tone to a solemn one.

"Understood." Linda saluted and then left.

"..." Instructor Yun looked at the street in the distance and hurriedly went to the principal’s office. The mysterious expert and the cadet with S Rank potential... she had to report everything.

"Error and EX Rank, you say?" The principal put his hands together, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Yes, I checked him with the general appraisal device and the military-grade one. The result stayed the same." Instructor Yun broke out in a cold sweat. It was rare for the principal to become solemn all of a sudden.

"Then, it’s either he is a hidden expert or a monster in human skin."

"What!?"

"However, I feel he is the nameless, mysterious esper, the 1st in the world ranking. Did you know that the 1st ranked esper in the world ranking only showed Empty as his name?"

"Yes, sir. World Unity Force has never disclosed any information regarding humanity’s strongest esper. Uh, principal, you mean..."

"Yes, as you think. You refer to him as Young Master El, yes? El can be translated as ’the’ and ’he’. He literally never said his name, a.k .a. nameless. No name, empty... didn’t he? Is this a coincidence or not? Hmm..." The principal went deeper into his assumptions.

He then showed the power level table chart. The strongest one would be SSS-Class, but there was a hidden rank above it, known as EX, which couldn’t be measured by anything because the value was too high.

"I see... so, the error wasn’t really an error. He is probably the Mister Empty in 1st world ranking." Instructor Yun connected the dots together and came to an understanding.

"The cadet he brought is a girl named Linda Esmeralda, huh... We need to take care of her well. That’s a thing for her S Rank potential, but her backer is one that we can’t afford to offend." The principal tapped his finger onto the new cadet paper.

"Yes, sir." Instructor Yun saluted and then left the room.

Meanwhile, Elysia knew nothing about the misunderstanding that had occurred behind her back. She had already left the academy area but teleported back to the academy’s dormitory buildings to observe everything more closely.

She noticed Linda had just moved into the dorm and met a dormmate, a quiet girl.

’Do you want to find your other chosen hero? Err, his name is Satria, right?’ Elena tried to guess Elysia’s intentions.

’Mm, he should have arrived here. Where is he now? Oh, I found him.’ Elysia used her Sacred Vision and spotted the one she was looking for. She teleported to his dorm room’s balcony and checked his ID card.

’He also started as an E-Class cadet, but his potential is B Rank? Is there something wrong with the instructor’s measurements? He should be at A Rank!’ Elysia couldn’t help but complain.

’You are the one who said his true ability is difficult to measure. It’s also not easy to transform into a knight ranger, fufu~’ Elena giggled in amusement.

’Ely, shall we meet Erina first? Or must we meet the backer who controls Asia’s underworld society? That fatty lightning will never keep his promise. Your secret agent is still a pretty flower vase without strength...’ Ai reminded everyone of something she was worried about.

’Hmm, then let’s meet this secret backer first. His name is Lin Yan, an S-Class esper ranked 13th in the world ranking. Lin Clan is the aristocratic family, the wealthiest one in this nation. Gaia, please help me find him.’ Elysia tapped Gaia’s bracelet.

’You can access all of my divinities... But, well, here we go.’ Gaia started looking for the person Elysia was looking for and shared that person’s whereabouts.

Due to her request, Elysia did not use any harmful otherworldly power on Earth. Nevertheless, she had to lend Elysia her divine power in return.

*Poof*

Elysia vanished like a gentle breeze.

"Hm?" Satria looked out the window. He could sense a strange, familiar feeling, but nothing was on the balcony.
