BXBX NOVEL Chapter 298: Who Will Ascend to the Special Class?
Amon, on the other hand, free from obligations and chores, accompanied the girls to the training room.
He had discovered that by combining the sixth genetic emotion, \'Excitement\', with the second, \'Calm\', the girls achieved superior performance in training. This balance between calm and excitement allowed them to double the effectiveness of their exercises. Even their duels became more thoughtful and innovative.
At some point, Amon sat on the floor and wanted to conduct a test.
He began to meditate, as usual. However, this time, he was stuck at a bottleneck and did not expect to increase his level. His goal was to see if this meditation could generate enough energy to assist the girls.

On Monday, November 6th, the end of the university\'s last semester was drawing near, with only one more month of classes ahead.
That morning, Amon and the girls arrived at the university very early. Amon, specifically, felt the need to be there before 7 o\'clock.
The vast warehouse, the university\'s largest facility capable of accommodating all its students, was now filled to almost 70% of its capacity, and the number of students continued to grow.
"They\'re probably going to announce a new student promoted to the special class," someone murmured.
Comments of this nature echoed throughout the place. It wasn\'t a well-kept secret, and many already suspected the reason they had been summoned that Monday morning. Although such an announcement was rare at the end of the last semester, it was still a possibility.
Being promoted to the special class was akin to winning the lottery for an average person. In fact, it might even be more impactful, as it affected not just the student in question, but their entire family.
"Who do you think will be chosen?" someone asked, throwing the question into the air.
It was a complex inquiry. There were many talented seniors, but being selected for the special class was a rare achievement, regardless of how skilled or brilliant the student was.
"Do you think it\'s Felipe Nunes?" another student suggested.
"Felipe Nunes... It\'s a possibility. He\'s in his third year and I heard he advanced to the Grandmaster Rank last month," a classmate replied.
Felipe Nunes\' rise was not news to many.

Felipe Nunes\' rise was not news to many.
"Indeed, it could be him!" several agreed.
"Actually, I believe it might be Luan Neto. He reached the Grandmaster Rank a while ago and, from what I\'ve heard, he\'s about to advance to the Star Rank," a student commented.
"Really? Well, in that case, he might indeed be the one," another replied.
However, a third chimed in: "But Luan Neto is already in his fourth year. Felipe Nunes and even Miguel Sousa Santos Junior reached the Grandmaster Rank while still in their third year."
A student rolled his eyes, "Ah, Miguel. At best, he serves as a human shield. Even with his high rank, I honestly don\'t see him as that impressive."
Another added, "Regardless of who it is, the privileges of being a special class student surpass even those of undergraduate students."
Reflecting on these benefits, many who knew they wouldn\'t be chosen felt a twinge of envy. It wasn\'t just about privileges, but also about status. Although they were considered geniuses in their respective planets and countries, at that university, they were just one among hundreds of thousands of brilliant students like or better than themselves.
"Look at that! Isn\'t that the freshman who went missing on Planet Fulgura? He came back without a scratch...", a student remarked, pointing.
"Do you think he\'s the student who will be transferred to the special class?" another inquired.
This murmur provoked laughter among those present. "Just imagine! He might have some talent, but to compare him to the special class candidates? Even the last place wouldn\'t be fitting for him, a mere freshman!" a senior mocked.
Laughter echoed throughout the place. The suggestion became a laughingstock, and soon other students cast amused glances at Amon, laughing openly. It wasn\'t Amon who made such a claim, but they were already judging him as someone arrogant and presumptuous. Being the number 1 in the freshman year didn\'t automatically qualify him for promotion to the special class. After all, only the most exceptional deserved such an honor. Many acknowledged Amon\'s talent, but to them, that was all it was.
Especially in the eyes of the seniors, who had witnessed many students achieve higher ranks, like the Grandmaster Rank. Most believed that Amon was still at the Innate Rank, even though he had already reached level 3. To them, this wasn\'t a significant achievement.
Indeed, Amon wasn\'t the first to reach Level 3 of the Innate Rank in his freshman year...
However, many didn\'t take into account the time he spent isolated for almost four months on Planet Fulgura, and the progress he might have made during that period.
This, of course, reflected the arrogance and ego of some. Many believed that Amon had only reached Level 3 of the Innate Rank due to the resources at his disposal. But, isolated on an unknown planet, what could he have truly achieved?
Many underestimated Amon, believing that, despite his talent, he also benefited from external circumstances.
"Amon, they\'re talking about you~," Maisa said, holding back a laugh. Even aware of the mockery, she seemed to find amusement in the situation.
Indeed, it was reckless of them to make such comments. It was as if they were setting themselves up for a reprimand, especially for laughing so openly in front of Amon. Were they asking to face consequences later?
Ariel, with a sharp look, photographed the students criticizing Amon and noted every word spoken. A mischievous and somewhat cruel smile adorned her face.
\'She seems to be getting back to her usual self,\' Barbara thought silently as she observed Ariel.
Barbara felt the urge to defend Amon, to confront those who ridiculed him for their apparent blindness and ignorance. However, like Maisa, she found amusement in the situation, and an enigmatic smile formed on her lips.
Perhaps the fact that Amon was accompanied by beautiful young women, including a pair of twins with unique and distinct beauty, aroused even more resentment in the other male students.
They felt confident, for, like Amon, they were talented and had entered the university on their own merits. However, envy and other negative feelings only highlighted their flaws and ugliness.
