Chapter 717
“Your guy got electrocuted. Be more careful next time,” the A-level guy said. “Take him back and don’t let people wander around.”
“Yes, sir!”
They waved Hayley off and left.
B179 watched them go, then glanced at the man being carried away. Something didn’t sit right. He turned to Hayley. “What exactly happened?”
“The toilet tank broke. Water leaked everywhere. He stepped into it and got shocked, so I went to find help, Hayley said.
B179 looked at the unconscious man, then back at her. There wasn’t much he could question now since the A-level had already confirmed it, so he let the matter go.
“Come with me. You’re the last one.”
The rest of the group had already finished their exams. Everyone was waiting for her.
When Hayley stepped back in, she found Winona in the crowd and saw the worry in her eyes. Hayley gave her a small nod.
“Stay in line,” B179 said coldly behind her. “Pull anything else, and I’ll throw you out to the zombies.”
He was clearly fed up with Hayley causing trouble again and again, already on guard in case she tried anything else.
Hayley glanced at him, then she stepped into the machine for height and weight. Once that was finished, she moved on to the X-ray gate.
On the other side, people saw Hayley dragging her feet and were getting impatient.

had to grip the rods made of a special material with both hands, and the indicator in the center would light up in different colors to show the type of gift.
No light meant no gifts.
White meant strength or speed enhancement.
Elemental types showed as colors. Red for fire, blue for water, yellow for earth, gold for metal, and green for wood. There were rarer colors, too.
Hayley stepped up. She was late, so she wasn’t fully aware of what the device did.
“Get on it. Hands on the rods,” B179 urged.
She did as she was told.
The moment her hands closed around them, a blinding flash exploded outward. A surge of dazzling white shot straight up. Red, blue, yellow, gold, green… All the colors tangled together.
And then there was the silver glow indicating mental-type abilities, along with strange shades such as purple, orange-red, and even black. Nobody knew what gifts those colors stood for.
For a moment, every color collided at once. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, along with gold, white, and silver, all of them erupting in a chaotic burst.
Everyone froze, stunned.
Even the man in the white coat running the test was left staring.
Barnaby, Garrick, and the others from Hayley’s dorm just stood there, staring at the blinding display with their mouths hanging open.
