I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

In the office, Nora Camp paced back and forth, hands behind her back, looking Harrison Clark up and down like she was appraising a fine piece of meat. “General Camp, just tell me what’s on your mind. There’s no need to beat around the bush,” Harrison said, feeling uneasy under her gaze.

Nora scoffed, “Why? Don’t you know me well? You look as if you’re afraid of me.”

Shaking his head, Harrison replied, “I’m not afraid, just not quite used to this kind of look.”

Last time, despite being released from her suggestion, Nora’s early-formed personality remained deeply ingrained and did not fully reveal her true nature. This time, she was still herself, yet somehow different.

Her eyes were more lively and mischievous, with a touch of playfulness hidden within.

Harrison was moved by this newfound spunk but also found it a little unfamiliar.

Seeing her eagerness now compared to when he first met her, Harrison’s mind wavered slightly, and he became more carefree.

“3437, wow, how do you feel now? Do you think you’re almost invincible?” Personal gene activation levels are kept relatively secret and not easily accessed, but before Nora, the person in charge of the Black Bear Training Base, there were no secrets.

She knew.

Harrison looked at her dancing eyebrows and replied honestly, “I am somewhat surprised, but that’s about it. I still haven’t touched the Morrowind System, so I’m not sure how powerful I am.”

“Well, you have self-awareness,” Nora clapped, extremely satisfied, “We are clear on your situation.”

Nora briefly discussed Harrison’s arrangements.

In essence, she congratulated him on escaping the S Bacteria’s lethal threat and awarded him for it.

The rewards weren’t too exciting – a few purchasable credits, then nothing else.

As for his extraordinary gene activation level, it indeed held certain advantages.

To recognize the potential in him, the military leaders decided that as long as he could achieve junior high school level knowledge, he could skip at least four months of basic military training and directly gain access to the Morrowind System.

Harrison wasn’t content, “If I’m this remarkable, why do I still need to study? Can’t I just get right into it? I’ll surprise you all.”

Nora raised her right hand, waggling her index finger, “No, you can’t. The Morrowind System is a large-scale combat system that incorporates hundreds of technologies and is operated through brainwave neural links. To unleash its full potential, you need commanders who are familiar with every detail of the system process. In other words, you need to know not only what it does but also why it does it.”

Harrison understood the general idea.

In summary, “Illiterates aren’t qualified to play with cards.”

He shrugged, “Alright, it’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, may I go now?”

“Yes, go and rest early.”

Nora returned to her desk.

As Harrison slowly made his way out of the office, he asked, “Are you sure I can leave?”

“Wait, hold on!”

Harrison quickly returned to attention, “What is it that you need?”

“For next weekend’s exam, you must pass! Don’t waste your talents. I have high hopes for you. Although we’ve provided you a shortcut, it still solely depends on you passing the exam. If you fail, you’ll be advised to leave. Even if you reapply as a volunteer next month and pass the assessment, you won’t be able to rejoin my Black Bear Training Base.”

“Why is that?”

Because the Black Bear Training Base is at the forefront of the combat ranking. If you have to go through this process again, there’ll be less than ten months left before the decisive battle, which isn’t enough time for training. You’ll have to join a logistics training base instead. Even if you make a comeback later on, you won’t be able to come back here. Understood?”

“Yes, I got it.”

“Then hurry up.”

Harrison: “Huh? That’s all you have to say?”

Nora looked at him puzzled, “You don’t seriously want to be my boyfriend, do you? What are you thinking about now?”

“Uh,” Harrison waved his hands in denial, “Sorry, I’ll be going.” “Alright, if you pass the exam successfully, I’ll have dinner with you. Don’t you want to pursue me? Then there’s no way you can leave.”

Harrison smiled, “I understand. I’ll be going now.”

Once he closed the door, Nora suddenly clutched her chest.

That eerie feeling was back.

She didn’t know why her heart was beating so fast.

As for Harrison, he was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Being advised to leave once wouldn’t hinder him from reaching great heights.

But it would get him away from the Black Bear Training Base, which was a result he didn’t want to see.

He worked hard here for so long, whether it was for someone else or his own plans, he couldn’t bear to leave.

He had to try.

Because of the fainting spells, Harrison lost three whole days, so his upcoming tasks were pressing and left him with little room to breathe.

Fortunately, his classmates and Mr. Owen, who went out of their way to teach him, supported him relentlessly.

Harrison continued the frenzied cramming, which reminded him of the fear of being ruled by college entrance exams during his younger years.

But those pains from the past were fleeting and insignificant in comparison.

He was mentally strong now, so if he could handle the pressure of college entrance exams before, he could certainly handle the stress of the junior high school graduation exams now.

Eleven days passed by.

It was a sunny weekend.

Harrison closed the sixth-grade textbook on the Theory of Life, and rest his eyes.

Half an hour before the graduation exam, he successfully completed all the courses.

Although these materials were quite advanced for the 21st century and deemed mostly useless, they still made him feel like a fulfilled, useful person at this stage.

Indeed, knowledge has power.

This intangible power existed in his mind, giving him confidence and helping him make more accurate decisions with every step he took.

“How is it? How is it?”

Did you finish studying? How confident are you?”

“You must pass, no matter what!”

“If you fail, it’d be such a shame for our painstaking efforts!”

“Tsk! Don’t put so much pressure on Harrison.”

Right, Harrison, just relax. You’re the boss with a 34.37 activation level.

There’s no problem! We’re counting on you to lead us to the stars.”

As Harrison stretched lazily, the noisy voices of Daniel Thompson, Marthus, and the others came through the communicator.

Truly a group of good friends worrying more than he did.

As Marthus mentioned at the end.

Now everyone in the class knew about Harrison’s explosive gene awakening, and they were all afraid he would be advised to leave.

They wanted Harrison to train with them now and to be on the same team on the battlefield, so together they could unleash tremendous power, far beyond the simple addition of one plus one.

With the entire team’s attack, defense, and other capabilities boosted, they could perform much better on the battlefield.

Harrison laughed breezily, “Don’t worry, everyone, I’ll be in top form today! As steady as an old dog!”

Ding!

With the start of the exam, Harrison the master joined the 1.3 billion primary school graduates worldwide in tackling the fierce battlefield of the junior high school entrance exam..
