**Chapter 346: Cate's Test!**
To Xia Shang's surprise, the fusion speed of Memory Storm was actually similar to, or even slightly slower than, Superpower Chest Blast.
However, this was understandable. After all, it was his first time fusing a psychic superpower, so it was normal for the fusion speed to be slower than previous superpowers.
About half an hour later.
A black Cadillac stopped in front of the main door of Godolkin University. After adjusting his cuffs, Xia Shang got out of the car.
"Are you kidding me? You can't park here, hurry up and move the car!" The security guard standing at the school entrance frowned and quickly walked up to Xia Shang, saying impatiently, "Don't you know where this is? You think you can just park anywhere here? Hurry up and drive the car away, or I'll have the Security Department tow it."
"Excuse me, it seems there are no parking spaces nearby. Are there any parking spaces inside the school?" Xia Shang smiled slightly.
The security guard sized Xia Shang up and down, his expression softening somewhat. "Are you a student of Godolkin University? Here for the opening ceremony?"
Although the other party's attire and demeanor didn't look like a student, he remembered all the teachers and professors at the school. The other party's face was unfamiliar, so he shouldn't be a big shot.
"My name is Mr. Jervis, and I am the new Executive Vice Principal of Godolkin University."
Xia Shang's attitude remained very gentle. After all, the security guard in front of him was just a small figure, and there was no need to make trouble for him.
"You... You are Mr. Jervis?" The security guard's expression changed like a chameleon, and his attitude immediately became respectful. He was now regretting it immensely. If he could, he really wanted to take back what he had just said.
"Are there any other Vice Principals at Godolkin University named Mr. Jervis?"
Xia Shang took out the car key and handed it to the other party very naturally, saying with a smile, "Could you please help me park the car? Thank you."
"No problem, I'll help you park the car on the side right away." The security guard wiped his hands on his pants, then took the key Xia Shang handed him with both hands.
"What you did was correct. Don't take what just happened to heart." Seeing the other party's frightened look, Xia Shang comforted him thoughtfully. He wouldn't make things difficult for a security guard; after all, the other party hadn't done anything wrong.
Walking into the school, Xia Shang went straight to Indira's office. On the brown wooden door, there was a sign that read 'Chief Executive Officer'.
"Knock knock!"
"Please come in." Inside the office, Indira, who was buried in work, responded casually after hearing the knock.
"Long time no see, it's as spacious and bright as ever here," Xia Shang said with a smile.
"Mr. Jervis, you came without notifying me. I would have personally come to pick you up."
Indira stood up and walked out from behind her office desk. She smiled and shook hands with Xia Shang. "Starting today, you are the Vice Principal of Godolkin University. It's a pleasure to be your colleague."
"Me too." Skipping the unnecessary pleasantries, Xia Shang then followed Indira into his office. The office was about fifty square meters, with a layer of brown carpet on the floor. On the left and right sides of the entrance, there were two green plants. Although he didn't know the species, they were over half a meter tall and looked vibrant. In addition, in the center of the office, there was a wooden office desk with a computer on it.
"I wasn't sure about your preferences, so I just arranged it casually. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can notify the Finance Department to replace it promptly." Indira maintained a smile, giving off a very kind feeling.
If he didn't know about the Underground Base, Xia Shang might have actually thought Indira was one of the few good people in The Boys World. "You're thoughtful, I really like this layout." Xia Shang walked to the water dispenser and joked, "It would be even better if there was a coffee machine."
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away." Indira was very enthusiastic, as if she would fulfill almost any request Xia Shang had.
"You don't need to trouble yourselves with that. By the way, how are the arrangements for the opening ceremony? Do you need my help?"
Xia Shang poured a cup of water from the water dispenser and handed it to Indira.
To be honest, the other party was like a wolf in sheep's clothing, and a wolf with quite refined acting skill at that. One should know that before he came, Indira had invited Cate and asked Cate to use her superpower to test him when she saw him. Xia Shang didn't know if this was Indira's own idea or if Stan Edgar had instructed it, but he guessed it was likely the latter. After all, Stan Edgar seemed to have started suspecting his true identity long ago, and perhaps Stan Edgar already knew he was the Mysterious Person.
However, Xia Shang didn't think much of it. Anyway, his identity would be exposed sooner or later; it was just a matter of one day earlier or later.
Moreover, Stan Edgar was a smart person, and it wasn't easy to hide things from him.
"For the opening ceremony, I've always had Cate in charge. She's a great student, it's just a shame her superpower is too weak. Otherwise, I would really want to send her into The Seven."
As Indira spoke, she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Cate.
"This chair is very nice, is it the one from my office in Vought Tower?" Xia Shang walked to the computer, pressed the power button, and sat down on the chair, touching the armrest.
"I was worried you might not be used to other chairs, so I specifically contacted Ashley Barrett and had your original chair moved over."
Indira's attitude made Xia Shang feel a bit unaccustomed.
After about less than five minutes, Cate stood at the door and knocked on the wooden door with her right hand.
"Come in." Xia Shang got up and walked towards Cate.
"I heard you're in charge of the opening ceremony. Very good, young and promising." Xia Shang smiled and extended his right hand.
At this moment, Cate glanced at Indira beside her out of the corner of her eye, and saw Indira nod very slightly.
"Thank you, could you get me a cup of water?" Cate was clearly a little nervous.
"No problem."
Xia Shang withdrew his right hand and turned to walk towards the water dispenser, his movements quite natural, which made Cate frown slightly. However, she didn't find it strange. After all, the fact that the other party could follow her command meant her superpower could affect him. Although it was just a small test, it made Indira, who was standing nearby, show a hint of satisfaction. It seemed Stan Edgar's request wasn't difficult; the other party looked quite easy to deal with.
After pouring half a cup of water, Xia Shang walked back to Cate. Just as Cate was about to reach out to take the water cup.
Xia Shang held the water cup and took a sip himself.
"Asking a Vice Principal to pour you water, that's a bit impolite, Cate." Xia Shang's gaze fell on Cate's face, and he said with a smile.
