Chapter 53: The Conversation
Towards noon, the graduation defense of the Department of History was successfully completed.
Judging by the performance of the students, if nothing else, everyone should be able to graduate smoothly.
After all, even the worst performer, although obviously not familiar with his topic, was able to justify himself when answering questions, and the final evaluation was most likely "passing".
Crane's narrative is modest, but also dragged down by the choice of topics, and the final evaluation may be slightly better "medium".
】
Referring to previous editions, the two evaluation grades of "Medium" and "Good" will be the final results of the vast majority of people, and Welch and Naya should be among them.
Surprisingly and not surprisingly, Valeera.
She is likely to receive an "excellent" rating.
Everyone thinks that her topic selection is too difficult, it is difficult to analyze everything, and the extra points in the topic selection cannot offset the omissions in the content and narration.
But Valeera's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
She chose a difficult topic, but the quality of the paper was at the level of the first grade, coupled with outstanding narration and Q&A...... This is an "excellent" review.
As soon as the instructors, judges, and faculty members left the classroom, the classroom quickly erupted in conversation.
They generally follow the framework of the usual discussion group, gathering together in groups of three or five to discuss, which is their hidden gain on campus in addition to their studies - personal connections.
The content of the conversation is basically focused on their respective defense performances.
Of course, there are also those who travel widely and shuttle in various circles.
Welch is one of those bold and generous spenders; Valilla, even if she doesn't take the initiative and doesn't like to socialize, can be considered half.
After a while, everyone took a break from the topic and went to the school's East Bailang restaurant in groups for lunch.
In the afternoon, it was the final process of the graduation ceremony.
The tutor will have a brief individual conversation with each student about the grades, graduation message, and possibly a few words of advice, and finally a diploma.
Of course, it is usually accompanied by one or two letters of recommendation to give students a start in life.
This may be dispensable for some well-connected and powerful students, but for students from ordinary families like Crane, it is an extremely precious stepping stone to a better life.
Over time, more than half of the students in the classroom have completed the process.
Soon, Crane also returned from his upstairs office.
His graduation grade was indeed "average", and Mentor Cohen was also very satisfied with his performance, believing that his learning attitude and ability were by no means more than "average", mainly because of the foundation.
Therefore, Quentin Cohen gave him two letters of recommendation, the University of Tingen and the University of Stone, hoping that he would be better developed.
The reason why Stonen University was given instead of the better Beckland University was actually for the sake of Crane's development.
After all, there's more to life than just work.
Next up is Valeera.
She smiled at Crane and the others, got up and walked out of the classroom, heading upstairs to her office.
When I came to the door of the office, the previous classmate just pushed the door and walked out.
As he left the door, Valera knocked on the door to warn him, then pushed the door open and entered.
"Mentor."
Quentin Cohen, a silver-haired senior associate professor, smiled and nodded, beckoned to her, and motioned for her to walk to her desk.
"Kaldwin, you're good, better than I thought."
"Your graduation assessment was 'excellent', well done, and even exceeded my expectations."
He laughed a few times, "In the past few months, I have also heard some things about you. ”
"It's good to be good at studying, but I hope you don't get too distracted and change hobbies too often, which will waste your talent......"
As for the elder's earnest teachings, although they deviated from reality, Valera could only smile and nod her head again and again.
In just a few minutes, Quentin Cohen has said a lot, from his studies to his life.
Finally, after awarding Valeera's diploma with a dark brown cover and slightly larger than a palm, he took out the three letters of recommendation that he had prepared in advance and placed them on the table.
"These are letters of recommendation from the University of Ston, the University of Tingen, and the University of Beckland, respectively," Quentin Cohen said with a smile as he looked at Valilla with dark blue eyes, "and you can choose two of them." ”
Valilla saw through the mentor's intentions at a glance, testing her intentions.
Stonen represents her non-existent, rich and noble family; Beckland University represents a better opportunity for development; And the University of Tingen ...... Could it represent Crane?
It seems that the mentor values Krien very much, and he is worried about this.
In fact, for Valeera, it is not difficult to choose.
Because these three letters of recommendation are not too important to her, if the one from Beckland University is still of some use, then the one from Storme University is like waste paper.
Valera smiled lightly and quickly made her choice.
Her long, white fingers pressed lightly against the table, and she twisted up the letters of recommendation from the universities of Tingen and Beckland.
Quentin Cohen's smile widened, and even a few shallow wrinkles on his face deepened, "Okay, you go back, remember to call Anna Wells." ”
"Thank you, mentor."
After thanking her, Valeera pushed the door open, and the chubby Welch was already waiting at the door.
She was about to turn and go downstairs when the door to the office diagonally across from her suddenly opened.
Azik Eggers, a teacher with bronzed skin, vicissitudes in his eyes, and a small black mole under his right ear, stood at the door and said in a gentle tone:
"Kaldwin, would you like to come and talk to me?"
Valeera's heart tightened at first, and then she felt a sense of relief.
Something unexpected happened......
Ever since that day in the soothsayer's club, when she saw the Antigonus family notebook, she spent nearly a month of quiet in fear.
Isn't this a different kind of ordeal?
The "sick" angel, the "Archon of Death", Mr. Azik Eggers was the first to break this false calm, which can be said to be the mildest of accidents.
It's not even an accident to say whether it's an accident, after all, she has considered this possibility.
"No problem," Valeera agreed with a smile, "I'll go to the classroom below and inform Anna first, and then I'll come up with her." ”
"Okay." Mr. Azik behind the door nodded.
Valeera quickened her pace and walked to the wooden staircase not far away.
After passing the corner of the hallway, she slowed down again, buying herself more time to think.
She wondered why Mr. Azik was talking to her now.
Did you see her extraordinary?
Or maybe what's going on?
