Huh? Turns Out I Was a Genius

[Strong Female Lead | No Romance | Ensemble Cast | Satisfying Interstellar Story]

In the Star Alliance, there are two kinds of geniuses.

One kind is fought over by military academies, fawned over by powerful families, and placed on a pedestal by the media.

The other kind is called Chu Jia.

Chu Jia had always been certain she only had B-grade mental strength. She planned to keep a low profile at Lingyou Military Academy and quietly coast through to graduation.

But reality had other plans.

The grandson of General Ji chased after her willingly, calling her “Boss” at every turn;

The granddaughter of the venerable Bai family spent all day clinging to her arm;

And a host of exceptional young people from the Jiang and Ji families also flocked to her.

Chu Jia screamed inwardly: Could you all calm down?

A trending topic exploded across the Star Alliance network: What’s it like to be in the same class as Chu Jia?

Students across the Star Alliance collectively lost it: Please, sis, skip a grade! Leave your peers a chance to survive!

Yet Chu Jia, at the center of the storm, had no idea what was going on.

Everyone was getting crushed by her, but she was the only one who didn’t realize it.

During routine combat assessments, she piloted a mech beyond her level;

During an interschool hunting trial, while everyone else fought desperately against elite Dreamkin, she strolled around at her leisure and cleared the entire trial zone by herself;

Her manifestation of mental strength overwhelmed everyone. The phantom of a phoenix loomed over the mountains, shattering a hundred-year-old military academy record.

She always thought: I’m only a little stronger than everyone else.

Until the results of an emergency retest by the military were announced

An unprecedented, maxed-out SSS-grade talent!

Only then did Chu Jia finally realize, belatedly:

Huh? So I really am a genius?
