Chapter 34 Year-end assessment
CHAPTER XXXIV
(It's too powerful--, it's only been a day, and the protagonist's name has to be changed, Khan, so from the second volume onwards, let's replace it with Soth, so, please vote for the students who didn't vote, don't do it like last time......
Another: I never said that this is a world made of four elements, I didn't mention it, because it wasn't time yet, otherwise it would really be a textbook...... )
December 3, 403 of the new calendar, is a special day for the students of Reox Academy, because from this day on, the college will evaluate the students' grades throughout the year, and those who pass the grades will be promoted to the grade, and those who fail to pass the grades will be repeated.
Therefore, in the academy full of laughter, there are now some students with sad faces preparing for the assessment.
Of course, this only refers to the seniors, as for the junior students like Jiang Zhe, as long as they pass a very simple written examination, plus an outdoor practice, they don't need to stay up late to write papers for the year-end evaluation scores, or painstakingly study any special academics and inventions to get extra credits, after all, Ruiox's education is also gradual.
In addition to the history of ancient magic that he has passed, Jiang Zhe also needs to pass the assessment of three subjects: fire blue magic, defense against the dark arts, and potions, and the rules of the exam are very simple, a written test, plus a practical exercise.
In addition to Potions, the written exams of Fire Blue Magic and Defence Against the Dark Arts are very simple, at least for Jiang Zhe, not because Jiang Zhe knows how deep he understands Defence Against the Dark Arts, but because Professor Salette Amix does not pay attention to the written exam, this old magician pays more attention to practice.
The rules are simple: students who can't perform any arcane magic in less than three seconds will fail!
It seems to be very strict, but in fact, Professor Amix has relaxed a lot, in the past, his requirements for senior students were one second, and they could not obviously chant incantations, and in addition, the damage that magic can absorb is also an important criterion for performance evaluation.
Even so, Professor Amix was not very satisfied, the old professor was a magician who had participated in the 'One Year War in Thessalonia', and he preferred to take the students to a small dark room full of traps to let them experience the dangerous atmosphere of the battlefield, but the academy refused because it was too dangerous.
Compared with the senior grades, Professor Amix's requirements for Jiang Zhe's group of junior students are really much lower, of course, this is also related to the fact that the professor is not very interested in this. Professor Amix won't say a word of nonsense to you, and he won't give you another chance.
In the magic of fireballs, the casting time of ordinary spells used by students is about three to four seconds, Jiang Zhe can do it for two and a half seconds, for magic that is not instantaneous, this result makes Huo very satisfied, but in arcane magic, Jiang Zhe's speed of casting magic is still two and a half seconds, looking at Amix's frowning appearance, it is obvious that he is not satisfied.
Dissatisfied, Jiang Zhe is still considered to have passed, and most of the other students' grades are between two seconds and three seconds, it is worth mentioning that Scott's performance speed is one second five, which makes Professor Amix look at it differently, except for Scott, the score is Lavia's best, one second eight, as for Allen, it also makes the professor look at it differently......
Three seconds, barely passed......
Among the hundreds of first-year students, only three failed to pass, looking at their begging Professor Amix, but the professor ignored him at all, Jiang Zhe was secretly glad that he asked Scott to help him make up for his mistakes before the assessment.
Compared to Defence Against the Dark Arts, the course of Potions is much simpler, firstly, as a fairly young lady, Professor Vera Corvetty is not as harsh as Professor Amix, and the other is that the entire assessment is conducted in groups of three students, with Scott's 'erudite' roommate, it is difficult for Jiang Zhe to fail.
After the written exam, it is practice, and the rules are very simple, as long as it is within an hour, making a successful potion is considered to be passed, and the materials, the professor has already prepared, after all, it is only the first grade, and the alchemy plants needed are very common.
Jiang Zhe and the others made a 'vitality potion', which is a potion that can quickly restore people to their best condition, although it is a basic type, it cannot last for a long time.
The potion was concocted by Scott, Jiang Zhe was responsible for the temperature of the flame under the vessel, which was not very difficult for them, and as for Allen, he was responsible for yawning on the side.
In the end, Professor Coveti was satisfied and gave them a perfect score of five.
Of course, this was not the highest score in the assessment, almost half of the students received perfect marks, thanks to Professor Corvetty's 'tolerance', but there were also two teams that received six points, and it seems that the professor was surprised by the potion they made.
A team of Lavia, they made a 'spirit potion', which was a potion that could slightly increase the user's mental power, which was much more difficult than Jiang Zhe's vitality potion.
Looking at the eyes with smug and ostentatious eyes, Jiang Zhe pursed his lips.
There was also a team of three male students, and the captain seemed to be a blonde-haired boy, who kept looking at Jiang Zhe with provocative eyes, which made him a little inexplicable.
Probably noticing Jiang Zhe's doubts, Scott mockingly reminded him, "Forget the boring vanity of the boring aristocracy!"
"Is it him?" Jiang Zhe then remembered that it was the guy who mocked himself on the carriage of the school.
"Vincent Flores, the heir to the throne of the Flores family, his father is a high-ranking Empire, an earl, but I heard that there is a chance to be promoted to duke!" Scott reminded in a low voice as he straightened out the long table.
"What does this have to do with me?" Jiang Zhe smiled faintly, looked at the guy who had been looking at him with provocative eyes, and turned around very shamefully, ignoring the other party's blushing face.
"Earl," Alan on the side touched his chin and said in deep thought, "and his old guy is still a high-ranking official in the empire, this is a bit troublesome, if you beat it up, my old guy will find me trouble......"
"Hey, hey!" Jiang Zhe couldn't cry or laugh while his heart was warm.
"Beat him?" Scott sneered, mocking, "I heard that he majored in summoning magic, and his grades are good, and his strength is much stronger than the woman last time......"
"So?" Alan said with a nonchalant shrug, "I need to be given a long sword, I don't care what kind of magic he majors in, and you two freaks can suppress me......"
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhe and Scott's eyebrows trembled, and they all turned their heads to look at Allen, their eyes were so bad that Allen was so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again, "I'm not sure of your strength, guys, ......" As he said, he changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, Scott, you guy can inherit the Duke in the future, right?"
"No!" Scott's originally joking face suddenly darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I will inherit the earl!"
Looking at the flames of anger and hatred flickering in his eyes, Alan was a little inexplicable, but Jiang Zhe vaguely understood something.
After the two compulsory courses, the students who took the assessment seemed to be a little scattered, some went to participate in the intensive department assessment, some went to participate in the illusion department assessment, and some went to participate in various green magic assessments.
Before Jiang Zhe and the others could say 'good luck' to each other, Lavia walked over, glanced at Jiang Zhe, and said lightly, "If you can't take the theory test, I'll kill you!"
Hey, hey!
Listening to her non-threatening words, Jiang Zhe was a little helpless, and he didn't need to use this way to motivate himself, right?
But then again, Jiang Zhe was still a little grateful to this girl, because she taught herself everything she knew, although that way made Jiang Zhe very depressed......
Saying goodbye to Scott and Allen for the time being, Jiang Zhe reluctantly followed Lavia to the familiar fire blue magic classroom, and saw that Professor Huo De was already in the classroom, looked at himself, and smiled.
Like other subjects, the theoretical assessment is similar to the exam in the previous life, the difference is that in the previous life, subjects such as Chinese and mathematics were examined, and now the knowledge of fire-based blue magic is tested.
But what Jiang Zhe is more concerned about is......
"Hey," raised his head, looking at Professor Huo De, who had been standing in front of him, Jiang Zhe said in a low voice, "Professor, don't you need to do this?"
"Hey!" Professor Huo De smiled, lowered his head and said, "This is not an assessment of the history of ancient magic, if you dare to cheat in my class, then you are ready to take a class with your juniors next year!"
No, if this kid repeats a grade, then isn't his professor himself......? That's not going to work!
Thinking of this, the professor bent down, knocked on the table, and said, "Be careful!"
"What?"
"What?" the professor looked left and right, saw that the other students were burying their heads in the exam, and whispered, "Don't play stupid for me!"
"......" Jiang Zhe was speechless, spread his hands and said, "Not this time, okay?"
"Really?" Professor Huo De looked at Jiang Zhe with suspicious eyes.
"Okay," Jiang Zhe nodded, rolled his eyes and said, "Then you can stand here!"
"Yo?" Professor Hodd was visibly surprised, but what happened next surprised him even more.
I saw Jiang Zhe look up and look at himself, using shorthand magic to write accurate answers to one question after another on the parchment, very fast.
This made Professor Huo De a little surprised, this kid changed his surname? It can't be, right? He still wanted to release the water......
Subconsciously glancing to the side, Professor Hodd noticed that another female student who valued him was quickly lowering his head......
Professor Hodd had an inexplicable smile on his face.
The exam time was forty minutes, but Jiang Zhe finished writing in twenty minutes, seeing him looking up at himself, Professor Huo De smiled slightly, patted Jiang Zhe's head and said, "Not bad......! That's just the basics!"
After the theory exam, it is naturally the practical part.
As mentioned earlier, the first-year time assessment is very simple, so simple that ordinary professors will not take it very seriously, because it is too basic, just take the practical assessment of fire green magic as an example, Professor Huo De only erected two magic targets.
As long as you hit the target, or make the target burn, you will pass.
The difference is that the trainees of the Fireball Route are required to hit the target ten yards away, while the Flame Route is simpler and can be passed by burning the target at a distance of two yards.
Of course, before the assessment, Professor Hodd said, "Except for Lavia and Soss, others are ready!"
It seems that for Lavia and Jiang Zhe, Professor Huo De has another assessment standard.
After understanding the meaning of this sentence, the girl seemed a little excited, because she thought that the professor recognized her strength, but Jiang Zhe felt quite speechless, and he had been making up for sleep recently......
After just ten minutes, the other people's assessment was over, and all of them passed, because it was so easy!
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that Professor Hodd's attention is not on them.
"Okay, Lavia and Soth stay for the assessment, and the others can go back, but remember, next year's fire blue magic will not be as simple as it is now, and lazy guys will not be able to pass the assessment!" When the word lazy was spoken, Professor Huo De deliberately accentuated his voice.
Listening to the crisp humming sound around him, Jiang Zhe felt quite innocent.
"Yes, Professor!" the students shouted excitedly, and then turned to leave, and for a while, in the spacious open space, only Professor Huode, Jiang Zhe, Lavia, and the two magic targets were left.
Turning around and glancing at the backs of the students who were leaving, Jiang Zhe said angrily, "Then, how is the professor going to assess? Fifty yards away, or destroy these two magic targets?"
"Oh?" Professor Hodd smiled, slowly raised his hand, and didn't see any signs of him casting magic, only to see a pillar of fire rise from the ground where the two magic targets were erected, and in the blink of an eye, the cyan flames burned the two targets to ashes.
"Professor, Professor?" Lavia looked at Professor Hodder in surprise.
"Don't worry, Lavia," the professor smiled slightly, shook his finger and said, "You don't need those two gadgets, Soth, I think you should understand......" he said, and he hooked his finger at Jiang Zhe.
"No," Jiang Zhe twitched out of the corner of his eyes for no reason, and said in a low voice, "Professor, don't you...... You were already miserable last time...... Even if you don't use magic above level 3, you won't be able to beat it!"
"Hey!" Professor Huo De shook his head angrily, pointed at Jiang Zhe and Lavia and said, "Don't overestimate yourself too much, you little ghost, it's the two of you!"
"Two?" Lavia said in surprise, "with ...... Are you competing with the professor?" she turned her head to look at Jiang Zhe, nodded and said, "I understand, Professor!"
What do you understand?!
Rolling his eyes, Jiang Zhe was about to speak, but Professor Huode's words came from his ears.
"Soth, what's wrong? Is this your realization?Is your magic only going to be used against the weak?" said half-mockingly, half-aggressively, Professor Hodd took out a pocket watch from his bosom, raised two fingers and said lightly, "Give you two minutes to think about tactics, now on!"
"Hey, this is the beginning?" Jiang Zhe's eyes widened.
"One minute and fifty-five seconds to go......"
"Hey ......"
"Shut up!" A scolding came from beside him, and Lavia looked deeply at Professor Hodd a few times, frowned, and said, "Soth, have you ever competed with the professor?"
"Is that called a contest?" Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes angrily, it was purely unilaterally devastated, right?
"One minute and thirty seconds left!"
Looking at the professor in front of her pocket watch, Lavia frowned and said, "To answer my question, what is the professor's most common magic?"
"Uh," Jiang Zhe hesitated for a moment, and said unconfidently, "It should be a fireball, but I have also used the Fire Shield Technique and the Fire Wave Technique...... Either it's a fireball, or a fireball......"
"Can't you say yes?"
"Please, the last time I contacted him, the fireballs you thought were fireballs one by one?
"One by one...... Lavia seemed to think of something, glanced at the smiling professor suspiciously, and said uncertainly, "A real duel between magicians?"
"I think so......"
"Thirty seconds left! Twenty-nine! Twenty-eight!"
"......" glanced at Professor Huo De hesitantly, and then glared at Jiang Zhe with a little anger, Lavia said in a low voice, "That can't be helped, first of all, you have to understand Professor Huo De's habits of using magic...... Does the professor use spells when he fights you?"
"I said it wasn't a contest...... Rows rows, sometimes used, sometimes not used......"
"Instant magic?" Retracting her terrifying gaze, Lavia frowned, looked up at the listless appearance of the boy next to her, and whispered, "If you let me fail the test, I will kill you!"
"Again?"
"Ahem!" At this moment, there was a cough in the distance, and Professor Huo De put away his pocket watch and said with a smile, "Although I don't want to disturb you, but the time is up......" As he spoke, he spread his hands and chanted an extremely long incantation, and as his incantation was chanted, a circle of red ripples swung from under his feet, and quickly expanded, forming an enchantment that shimmered with reddish light.
This is a forbidden enchantment, the radius is estimated to be about a hundred yards, of course, Professor Huo De did not bless the two of them with the forbidden effect, he simply did not want irrelevant people to enter this area, although this is a practice ground belonging to the fire type blue magic course, but there may be other people, Professor Huo De does not want to be disturbed.
"There's no way," Lavia sighed softly and whispered, "Soth, you come to attract the professor's attention, and I'll focus on ......"
"Why are you attacking?"
"You! The fireball is suitable for attracting the attention of the opponent, did you let me come? I can even avoid the fire wave technique I cast, there is no reason why the professor can't avoid it, right?"
"That'...... again"
"I said," he said with a wry smile as he looked at the two students opposite, "It's already started!" and as he spoke, a fireball condensed in front of him and hit them without warning.
"Of course, Professor!" Lavia smiled slightly, reciting a spell in her mouth, and a ring of burning flames suddenly ignited under her feet, protecting herself and Jiang Zhe beside her, and the fireball cast by the professor was exploded by a wave of fire.
This is what Lavia does best, the Fire Wave Technique.
"Oh?" Professor Hodd smiled, and was about to say something, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly noticed four or five fireballs flying from the flames on the opposite side, levitating above him.
"Smack!" snapped his fingers.
