Chapter 151 - The Assessment Finally Arrived
Chapter 151: The Assessment Finally Arrived
The long-awaited first day of the assessments finally arrived. Still, the students were also very nervous because those who passed would make it onto the local elite student catalog and have an opportunity to obtain a graduation certificate.
If the students failed to obtain a graduation certificate for whatever reason, they would still get a participation certificate which was a significant thing for the third-year students to attend an ideal college. However, the students will not receive any certificates if they get eliminated or quit.
They all wondered who would stay and who would leave. Anyone would be nervous when faced with such a dilemma, not to mention third-year students.
The students had already flooded the training grounds even though there was still an hour before the assessments began early that morning. Still, the atmosphere at the training grounds felt different from before.
There was a tall grandstand on the northern side of the training grounds. Considering how it looked, the instructors and teachers would use the grandstand to watch over the students.
There were also enormous screens erected on the training grounds’ east, west, and southern sides. At that moment, one of the screens displayed the students’ current rankings from the previous evening, while the other two displayed montages of the past elite training program’s students.
When the montages appeared, they attracted many students’ attention and caused a heated discussion.
“The past students are simply amazing!”
“Yeah, being level 20 is nothing after they graduated from this place.”
“There’s a significant gap between them and us. We’re all professionals, but what do they look more outstanding than us?!”
There was a blonde guy with blue eyes and thin eyebrows in the crowd. He was five-foot-nine and handsome. One could tell he had a good head on his shoulders.
He stared at the screen at that moment.
“Captain, the students will see your highlights next!” A burly student beside the blondie said with certainty, “That’s not all. I think you will make it to the hall of fame and set a new record, Captain!”
The blondie did not say a word. He only looked at the enormous screen with a charming smile.
Meanwhile, Moss also looked at the enormous screen on the southeast corner of the training grounds. The scene on the screen deeply caught his attention. Whenever a knight appeared on the screen, it would trigger Moss’s excitement.
“There were so many incredible knights, especially thirty years ago!” Mill sighed as she looked at the screen.
“Many alchemists also attended this camp, and I’m one of them!” Alan puffed his chest as he thundered, unwilling to be outdone.
“Oh dear Godly Alan, please give me an autograph when you make it onto the hall of fame!” Baylon mocked.
“The four major classes of the past birthed many powerful students. The past knights were undoubtedly synonymous with utter geniuses, especially Safin!” Bass could not help but exclaim when he saw the level 25 knight with the highest performance record in the elite training program.
Moss only remained silent. Still, he agreed with Bass’s words. Especially about Safin. Moss admired him very much and thought, ‘Safin was only an ordinary knight in his third year in high school, but in less than two years since he awakened as a knight, he managed to reach level 25.’
Moss felt Safin would have been invincible if he possessed the Ultimate Evolution System. The only reasonable explanation for Safin’s explosive power was that he possessed an extremely potent knight’s spirit, resulting in his monstrous potential levels.
Moss would not know any other reasons for Safin’s incredible strength if that was not the case. He wondered if Safin was also someone who had transmigrated as he did.
But unbeknownst to Moss, many who had awakened their classes in Safin’s era had to go to the front lines as quickly as possible because Magical Beast ran rampant. The professionals of that era only hoped to protect humankind, and Safin was their best hope.
He had fought many Magical Beasts time and time again, accumulating a waterfall of battle experiences and a wealth of growth.
Mill noticed Moss was lost in his thoughts, so she said confidently, “Moss, I believe you will become as strong as him, if not stronger!”
“Me too!” Alan echoed, supporting Mill without hesitation.
…
Many became increasingly nervous as the assessments approached.
“The assessments are finally starting, but I still feel nervous even though I think I’m well-prepared!”
“Being nervous means you care. Don’t worry. You will pass as long as you do your best.”
“I was so nervous that I didn’t sleep last night. I’m going to be so exhausted later!”
“My stomach is uneasy. I think I ate something rotten!”
The hour quickly passed as the students chattered. When faced with the assessment test, the students’ mentality resembled those taking the college entrance exams.
Dong! Dong!
War drums sounded when the time arrived for the assessments as the training grounds immediately became silent.
Instructors and teachers filled the stands then, including other employees the students had never seen before.
After a short pause, Deputy Chief Instructor Red Spider began to speak, “After nearly two weeks of studies and training, each of you has made significant progress. However, today is the day to prove your strengths! I hope you will all perform to the best of your abilities and make a name for yourselves!
“Now, I will briefly explain the assessment test’s rules and procedures. If you have questions, please ask your instructors for answers before the test begins!”
Red Spider spoke in great detail, but in summary, the test would consist of 50% of the students’ abilities and 50% of their combat performance.
The ability test would include 30% of the basics test and 20% of the potential level tests. Meanwhile, the 50% combat test referred to the students’ comprehensive combat abilities, including individual fights, Mystic Realms, and team battle performances.
When Red Spider’s speech ended, Mr. Hank smiled as he looked down the stage and announced excitedly, “Let the 201st elite training program’s assessment test begin!”
The empowering sound of war drums once again sounded, and the instructors arranged the students’ teams and brought them to their corresponding test locations.
The first test was Kevin’s strength test. However, the no equipment rules were still in place. The only difference this time was the passing standard of 2,000 kilograms of force.
Kevin would mark those who did not pass the standard with an X and place them in the undetermined area. If more than half of the students got an X, Kevin would select a few until there were 450 students left.
But if less than half got an X, Kevin would immediately eliminate them from the training camp. As soon as Kevin issued those rules, the students perked up. Everyone was in awe of the set standard as the test began.
The first to take the test was B-631. He only sauntered toward the force meter but attracted everyone’s attention because he had achieved 5,000 kilograms on the first force test.
Many were curious to see what results he would achieve this time.
