Job Change For Everyone: My Job Can Infinitely Evolve Novel - Chapter 145

“This training camp is like a roller coaster.”

“It’s such a huge jump in difficulty!”

“Why?”

Then one of the students said to the group of girls around him with a smirk on his face, “Rankings aren’t related to the test results,” after saying that, he stopped and smoothed his hair, which was full of hair gel mixed with mud.

A tough girl couldn’t stand it anymore. She immediately pulled the boy’s hair and shouted, “Hurry up, I need to get a spot in line to shower!”

“Hey! Don’t pull my hair! I only said rankings aren’t the most important thing!” The gel-haired student grimaced in pain and continued, “It also has something to do with training performance, levels, and scores the teachers and instructors give us. The rankings we see are our overall results!”

The gel-haired student sputtered and didn’t beat around the bush that time.

Meanwhile, Moss felt pressured when he saw the rankings suddenly drop from the top 100 to the elimination zone. However, he wasn’t worried.

After all, the final test results would determine whether or not the students would get eliminated. The current rankings only allowed students to understand their situations and make necessary adjustments.

But Moss sensed student A-110’s strength, who had ranked first for two consecutive days. He looked at the top fifty participants again and discovered that half performed consistently well.

…

“It seems this training camp is full of monstrous students. We must work harder!” Moss looked at the big screen and said half-jokingly.

“Captain Moss is right. We must push ourselves if we want to survive here,” Baylon severely said as he clenched his fists.

“But don’t lose hope. Tomorrow’s potential activation training is one of the crucial points of the training program!” Moss echoed as the rest of the Guardians nodded.

“Let’s eat! I’ll give you guys the extra food I got from Mark. It’s up for grabs if anyone wants it,” Moss reminded his teammates.

Everyone raised their hands, signaling they wanted the extra food, but Mill was the fastest to grab it. She seemed to have cast one of her spells on herself to move quicker.

…

The night passed silently, and the exciting third day finally arrived. However, the third day was more memorable than the rest because all the students from Zone A and Zone B gathered.

Old Mur appeared with his usual attire and sunglasses, but he smiled this time as he got straight to the point, “Today is one of the most important days of your lives. Making it to the potential activation segment means you’ve improved exponentially. It is a brand-new experience for you as it’s a watershed for professionals.

“Still, this day does not represent your entire life. You will become a force to be reckoned with if you continue forging ahead and strive to surpass yourselves constantly. Go for gold, rookies!”

Afterward, the instructors led their respective groups to begin their potential activation training.

Meanwhile, the deputy chief instructors were responsible for overall supervision and guidance for their respective zones.

There were various methods to activate one’s potential, such as falling from a high altitude, putting one underwater for an extended amount of time, and putting one under severe pressure.

There was also an assortment of auxiliary devices, such as increasing one’s battle awareness, increasing one’s desire for survival, and strengthening one’s consciousness.

Take water immersion, for example. It was more effective for students who were afraid of drowning. The instructors would put one’s head in a tub of water or sink them into a large water container.

Since it takes about three minutes for humans to die of hypoxia or suffocation, one could survive in deep waters for about two or two and a half minutes. The process would be torturous, but it could also trigger one’s desire for survival and thus activate their potential.

An hour later, Alan said jokingly, “I’ve tried a few methods to activate my potential, but they weren’t good enough. But one method was the most perverse—putting a mountain of delicious in front of me while someone tickled my feet with feathers.” Then he clutched his stomach, about to cramp from laughing.

“There’s a method for everyone, I guess,” Baylon teased from the sidelines.

Moss also tried a few methods to activate his potential. However, it seemed his battle and guardian awareness would only have a minor reaction, which was not enough to activate his potential fully.

Still, other methods did not affect Moss.

Everyone tried various methods for a few hours when an urgent notice sounded through a megaphone, “All participants gather around!”

The students immediately became excited when Red Spider suddenly appeared with a megaphone in her hand.

“I noticed some have already achieved breakthroughs. However, you can always work harder. Others in Zone A have already reached level 1.5 on the potential index. Note that your potential will increase by 0.5 whenever you make a breakthrough.”

Potential activation was equivalent to Moss’s Power of Faith. He could increase his stats up to 150% in thirty minutes. However, the difference was that Moss’s Power of Faith needed time to accumulate, while the potential activation did not.

One could quickly achieve improvements as long as one successfully activates their potential. Still, each person possessed various stimulation points and upper limits.

Level 1.5 was impressive, nonetheless, but according to the National Archives, the highest level potential was 3.0.

Red Spider’s words immediately caused a commotion.

“What kind of monster can reach level 1.5 in just a few hours?! That means his upper limit has increased by 0.5 times!”

“There are so many geniuses here. I struggled just to get to 1.0!”

“Is it student A-110?!”

Hearing the students’ discussions, Red Spider comforted them, “The road to becoming a powerhouse individual isn’t a 100-meter sprint. It is a marathon. Didn’t Old Mur say you will eventually become a powerhouse if you constantly improve and surpass yourselves?

“Nonetheless, you can use the testing equipment on the training ground to improve your potential index! All right, carry on your training.”

…

Beep, beep!

The whistle signaled the end of the training, but many students were reluctant to leave. Most who remained on the training ground were students who had not yet activated their potential or had not reached their self-made goals.

Moss was the only one left on the field among the Guardians. His teammates joyfully ran off to eat since they had achieved their goals.

Even Alan had achieved a breakthrough thirty minutes before training ended. Although he had only achieved level 1.1 on the potential index, Alan got the hang of it when he activated his potential. He only needed to improve upon it from now on.

Still, Moss did not leave the training ground to eat.

At that moment, Red Spider was patrolling in a good mood. She felt gratified when she saw many students still trying their best to make breakthroughs even though training had ended.

However, she noticed Moss looking into the distance with a confused expression, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

‘Why does he look confused? Isn’t he satisfied with his score? Considering his results from yesterday’s test and his performance, he had already activated his potential, so why does he look so puzzled?’ Red Spider approached Moss as she thought.

“B-666, are you still unsatisfied with your results?” Red Spider’s voice was as cold as ever.

Moss immediately stood upright when he saw Deputy Chief Instructor Red Spider. “Ma’am! I have yet to master the ability to activate my potential.”

Moss did not lie because he had used his skill on the force meter, which might have caused others to mistakenly think he had mastered the ability to activate his potential.

“You’re too humble, kid.” Red Spider was delighted.

She had always liked humble and hard-working students.

“So, what do you need my help with?” Red Spider’s tone became much gentler, unlike the coldness from before.

“Can you tell me about your experience with potential activation?” Moss looked at Red spider with a devout expression, full of expectation.

Red spider was indeed in a good mood today as she patiently and meticulously told Moss about the problems she encountered during her potential activation process, the solutions she came up with, experiences, and other aspects.

Red Spider felt wanting when she finished telling Moss about her experiences. It was a rather strange feeling. But something stranger happened when she turned around to leave.

She revealed a rare genuine smile, although only fleeting. However, if anyone saw it, they would think she had big news to tell them because no one had ever seen her smile since entering the training camp.
