Hand Of God

Chapter 11 Are we in the right place?

In the crowd present, if one were to speak of the most intense emotional turmoil, it was likely Serena herself.

She clutched her phone tightly in her hand, not uttering a word to anyone, merely gazing up at the sky.

Judging by the situation, she knew Adam must have been right; it was indeed going to rain here.

Yet, she still harbored hope, hoping for a mistake in time, even if just by a minute.

She wasn't denying Adam's strength; she knew Adam was a hidden genius, and she was also aware that yesterday's contest had proven she was no match for Adam.

But in her heart, there was always an inexplicable breath that made her unwilling to admit defeat.

The battle with Adam yesterday was the first time in her life she had lost, and lost so miserably.

She didn't want to accept that someone who had been selected for assessment-free admission with her, who had such a poor superpower rating before, was now so strong that she could hardly keep up.

Finally, thunder gradually began to roll in the sky, and the air became perceptibly moist.

Ding-a-ling-ling~

The alarm Serena had set earlier suddenly rang, drawing the attention of the chatting crowd.

But the alarm only rang for a moment before it stopped.

People didn't pay much attention to it because the sky began to sprinkle with a few raindrops, and the crowd instantly became lively.

"Hey, it's really raining!"

"Amazing! That young man was right!"

"Has the Energy Chain variant developed prophetic abilities?"

The liveliness of the crowd did not affect Serena; at this moment, she was staring blankly at her phone with her head down.

The alarm had not been turned off by her.

At the very moment the alarm rang, a raindrop from the sky fell perfectly on the pause button of the alarm!

The surrounding noise was completely irrelevant to her; she was utterly stunned at this moment.

Was this fate?

Watching the rain finally start to fall from the sky, Diana nodded.

She glanced at Adam with the corner of her eye and noticed that he still looked bored, as if he didn't think he had done anything remarkable.

In fact, Adam did feel that the people around him were a bit of a fuss.

Doing nothing, not taking off with the plane, just waiting for the rain, right?

He should have kept his mouth shut.

After the commotion, without waiting for the rain to stop, Diana began to call the assessment-free admitted students to board the plane.

After all, they had already delayed quite a bit, and with a superhuman on board, the specially made plane wasn't afraid of flying in the rain.

Adam, with no relatives, didn't need to do anything like "say a few words to his loved ones before leaving," took his bottle of mineral water, and was the first to board the plane.

Serena stood at a distance, her gaze fixed intently on Adam's retreating figure.

Marcus, her father, approached and gave his daughter's head a comforting rub, speaking up:

"This young man is indeed impressive, and his future achievements may well be limitless. It's best not to hold any grudges against him; just interact with him as you normally would."

As a father, he knew his daughter's temperament all too well, and his words were primarily meant to offer some solace.

Serena didn't respond verbally but gave a slight nod.

In her heart, she silently resolved that from that day forward, Adam would be the benchmark she aimed to surpass!

This small interlude came to an end, and the plane finally took off.

The flight was uneventful, and after an hour of smooth sailing, the plane finally arrived at its destination.

The only noteworthy detail during the journey was that Adam didn't sit down; he stood against the aircraft's fuselage for the entire trip.

The reason was simple: his "Hearing of Everything" still couldn't be completely blocked out, and the chair beneath him kept complaining.

Of course, everyone on this trip had grown accustomed to his eccentric behavior and took it in stride.

Finally, the plane came to a halt in front of a massive dome-shaped building.

Adam disembarked, and the weather was pleasant; the sun was about to set, and its golden afterglow bathed the huge dome, which was inscribed with several large, gilded letters.

—Doyles Stadium.

These words left Adam speechless, standing there for a long time, unable to let go.

He had been very curious about this place, imagining how grand and unique it would be.

"Stadium? Are we in the right place? Shouldn't it be something like 'Superhuman Combat Center' or something?"

Adam turned to Diana, unable to resist asking.

Diana gave him a disdainful look, clearly seeing through his thoughts, and said:

"Why go for such extravagance? These centralized trials don't take long anyway; renting a stadium for a few weeks is more than enough."

Edward, who disembarked later, also approached and stood by Diana's side, chiming in with a bit of mischief:

"Exactly, I think a stadium is pretty good too."

Diana gave him a puzzled look, her eyes clearly saying "who are you," and remained silent.

Edward could only awkwardly walk away.

Everyone stood with their suitcases in hand as two staff members appeared before them.

One was holding a stack of clothes, and the other had a few cards in hand.

Those were the SID cards exclusive to superhumans!

Every individual who becomes an official superhuman receives this card, which records their name, gender, date of birth, superpower rating, and superhuman level.

It's akin to a superhuman ID card.

For new superhumans like Adam, who haven't been through proper combat, there's no so-called superhuman level.

Issuing a SID card without a superhuman level indicates that the authorities have great confidence in their potential and future, a mark of honor and proof of genius!

Of the six trainees present, each had a clear look of delight on their faces.

However, the other five were happy for the honor, while Adam was pleased with the quality of the clothes and the fact that they were given for free!

Once the distribution was over, Diana's expression turned slightly gloomy as she looked up and asked the two staff members.

"Why is there one SID card missing? Where's Adam's?"

"We have no precedent for issuing SID cards in advance to those with an E-rated superpower, so we came to confirm with you first." The staff member bowed slightly to Diana, speaking in a very formal tone.

Diana gazed at the guard for a few seconds, and as beads of sweat began to form on his forehead, she turned and calmly said to Adam:

"Adam, show him."

Diana might be even more upset than Adam about this situation.

Thinking about how Adam's superpower, which is clearly so powerful, is always underestimated as just an E-rated, Diana, who gave him the assessment-free admission slot, can hardly stand it.

So today, she didn't feel like saying much; it's better to use the fact to silence the other party.

"Ah?" Adam hadn't reacted yet, not expecting the focus to suddenly be on him.

Even if he's not the sharpest, he now realizes that this chief assessor seems to have a high opinion of him and has always treated him well.

This is understandable, as teachers often favor top students in school.

But why is Diana always so willing to help him?

This doesn't add up, does it?

It makes it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

But he didn't refuse, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and aimed at the huge fountain in the artificial river behind the stadium.

From a distance of hundreds of meters, with a slight lift of his finger, the dozens of meters high fountain water column instantly froze!

Ice flowers spread and reorganized, forming a huge ice sculpture. From a distance, it looked like a large bird about to take flight.
