Chapter 016: The Big Exam (I)
This graduation exam is a major event in the career of a magician, as long as you pass the exam, you will have the qualification to practice elementary magic, and if you stand out in another big exam four years later, it can be called a leap into the dragon.
The exam is divided into five subjects: "History of Magic", "Ethics", "Chemeni Language", "Interpretation" and an essay of more than 2,000 words, each worth 100 points, for a total score of 500. Those with high scores continue to study, and those with low scores roll up and go home. Over the years, half of the magic apprentices will be wiped out in this "junior high school" exam, and because the imperial court and foreign forces attach great importance to it, even those who have money and power can't buy points and can't do fakes.
The sixth class, which was promoted from the first grade to the sixth grade, experienced the pain of the former seniors. This year, they sent away the oldest qualified playground "field bully" and took the position of boss themselves. I didn't understand why senior students always take pride in bullying junior students to occupy their field, but now I understand that if you are more capable than others and don't show it, it will be very uncomfortable.
When you come out of the waves, you will always be overturned by the back waves. Now they can only sit in the lifeless classroom, endure the faint sound of kicking football in the bright sunlight outside the window, and bury their heads in the rules and regulations under the watchful eye of the old gentleman whose eyes are like needles.
Actually, what kind of habit do you want to repeat? A sunny day is the best time to play. If you can get in, you can just go to the test and you can get in, and if you can't get in, it's just a temporary cramming in the last month.
Seeing Zhang Jiabao doing nothing with the pen in his hand, Chen Caican, who was behind him, took advantage of the moment when Mr. went out to relieve his hands and asked him: "Bao, where are you going to take the exam?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. What about you?" said Zhang Jiabao, leaning back and turning his head.
"Hey, my level can't be passed, let's learn business with my father. Chen Caican waved his hand self-deprecatingly, and said, "Then what do you want to do when you grow up? Zhang Jiabao also smiled when he heard this, he was really childish at that time.
"Well, both of them have to go to Fuzhou. Chen Caican looked at Qin Haoxuan and Jin Yufang Nunu, "Both fathers and mothers know each other, and they have been kissed a few years ago." ”
"Then I wish Haoxuan and Xiaoyu a lover to finally become married. The short Zhang Jiabao stood up and smiled and pretended to be an adult, causing the students to laugh in a low voice. Jin Yufang made a naughty and somewhat annoyed grimace at him.
At this time, the student who was at the door coughed a few times hurriedly, and the whole class immediately fell silent in an instant, bowing their heads and holding the scroll, as if there was nothing else in their eyes except for the sea of books.
"Hahaha, who has a lover and eventually becomes a family? I think there are talented people who are the top students in high school. Hu Zhi, the master of the school, smiled heartily and strode into the classroom with his hands behind his back. In the past few years, he has been promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth grade, and he has also accumulated a lot of prestige in the house. Maybe after this big exam, he will be transferred to more important official positions.
"The entrance examination is imminent, please give us a few words of encouragement for the sixth class. Everyone applauded!" said the master teacher who followed behind Hu Zhi with an expressionless face. So the class burst into applause.
Hu Zhi stood on the pulpit with a smile, pressed his hand, and began to speak. He first affirmed the outstanding results of Class 6, and then encouraged everyone not to waste the last month of revision and preparation. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared and never give up. It is necessary to learn from the past and learn the new, to master every knowledge point, to make up for the weaknesses, to strive to get high scores in the subjects that are good at it, and not to lag behind in the subjects that are short board.
Then he shared the latest developments in the magic industry, in the future, magic engineer will be a very popular and popular profession, after being admitted to a higher university, you should develop in this direction when choosing a major.
There are only two intermediate-level magic schools in the entire Qingping Prefecture, one is a little better and the other is a little worse. Of course, it would be great to be admitted to the school in Fuzhou, where there are some of the best magic schools in the Eastern world.
"Zhang Jiabao, Shangguan Naiya, you two usually play, you must be fine. After speaking, Hu Zhi specially told the two of them. As a top student who sits first or second all year round, he has to pay attention to it.
"Thank you for your kindness, and the students will live up to their expectations. Shangguan Naiya, who was sitting in the back row, stood up and replied.
"Yes, Master Learning. Zhang Jiabao had to stand up and say.
The 14-year-old Shangguan Naiya is the tallest in the class, and her cold and glamorous temperament makes her the dream lover of many boys who are just starting to fall in love. She was supposed to be Zhang Jiabao's childhood sweetheart, but why didn't she seem to know each other?
"Girl, no matter what you become in the future, I will protect you. Zhang Jiabao secretly swore in his heart.
Time flies quickly, the tenth day of the fifth month has arrived, and the graduation examination will be held today, which will last for two and a half days. All the students in the lower grades were on vacation, and no one was allowed to appear around the examination room, and the entire magic school seemed quiet and solemn.
In order to prevent cheating, the candidates' desks were pulled away at a long distance, and only twenty candidates were seated in one classroom. Zhang Jiabao spread pen and ink and other utensils on the table, closed his eyes and rested. More than 200 candidates were disrupted, and he didn't know many of them here, but he and Shangguan Naiya were really fateful and were arranged in the same examination room.
Before leaving, Zhang Chuanzheng just patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything. Cao Xiaoxiao stuffed him this and that again, and his eyes were still red. Thinking of his parents' hard work over the years, they are not as young as before, Zhang Jiabao is a little nervous. But don't miss it, I'm going to go to the best school with my sister, and I'll do something to repay the two of them in the future.
Unpleasantly, the proctor was Eric. Zhang Jiabao kicked the ball in his face back then, ruining his good thing of hooking up with Yu Jin. And his grades are still very good, first in the exam every year, which impresses Eric. Fortunately, Westerners pay attention to the spirit of contract and fairness, even if Eric doesn't like Zhang Jiabao, he will not embarrass him at such a critical juncture.
All the candidates were waiting for each other, and the test papers were handed out, and the first test was the history of magic. The moment I got the test paper, I first skimmed through it, some people secretly complained, some frowned and pondered, and some people wrote it with a pen.
Zhang Jiabao has a super memory, this kind of subject is the easiest in his opinion, and he has not forgotten the story told by Yu Jin. In just half an hour, he finished the previous multiple-choice questions, true/false questions, and fill-in-the-blank questions with ease.
The final question category is a question and answer question, the first and second questions are worth 10 points each, and the third question, which is also the last question of the whole exam paper, is worth 20 points. The first is that "the ten elements have their own characteristics and permeate every aspect of our lives." If you had to use one element to describe your character, which one would you think would be the most appropriate and why?"
The second is a conventional historical question, which was quickly solved. The third course first gives an overview of the invasion of China by the Western coalition forces 26 years ago, and then "From your point of view, talk about the reasons for the difference between Eastern and Western civilizations, and why the magical civilization can catch up with the ancient Xiuzhen civilization in just a few hundred years." ”
Seeing this question, Zhang Jiabao, who had been influenced by Yu Jin for a long time, was first angry, and then calmed down and thought about it, this question is where the difficulty of this examination lies, and it is also the crux of the Chinese Han nation.
