Job Change For Everyone: My Job Can Infinitely Evolve

Chapter 186: Different Voices

“That is a list of students who will take part in this year’s college entrance exams,” Elroy solemnly said as he pointed at the screen on the opposite wall.

The teachers started reading the contents on the screen as they wrote notes into their notepads.

Five minutes later, Elroy noticed the teachers had already finished reading, so he continued, “I would like to hear your opinions on this, my fellow educators.”

“Let’s start with Class One’s teacher.” Seeing that none of the teachers wanted to be the first to speak, Na’er took the initiative to nominate someone.

Since Na’er said so, Class One’s teacher said, “I don’t have any issues with this list because all students who performed exceptionally are on it. However…”

Na’er noticed Class One’s teacher was hesitating, so he sternly said, “Speak your mind. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

Class One’s teacher wiped the sweat off his forehead and stammered, “H-However, there are still more third-year students that aren’t on that list. I’m afraid it will affect our enrollment and admission rate to famous schools.

“Moreover, the initial quota for third-year students is relatively limited. Now that we’ve given some slots to the second-year students, I’m afraid the other third-year students won’t react well when they find out about it.”

After that, Class One’s teacher retracted his haze, lowered his gaze, and looked at his notebook.

Then the third-year Class Two’s teacher looked at his notes and said, “Director Elroy, I am not prejudiced against knights, but everyone has a good understanding of the college entrance exam’s results over the past two years. Those who had achieved excellent results and made it into the top 20 schools are from more popular classes, like swordmasters and alchemists.

“Even if the second-year students you listed performed well in the professional competition, they are still only second-year students. They are a little immature compared to the more outstanding third-year students around the country.”

The other teachers heard this and began to express their opinions.

“I agree with Class Two’s teacher. The enrollment and submission rates are crucial to our school and us. It will affect White Deer High’s ranking and the support we are receiving from the country.”

“That’s right. Another point we cannot ignore is that our third-year students have spent almost a year preparing for the college entrance exams. Meanwhile, the second-year students have only spent two months preparing for the entrance exams.

“It won’t seem fair to their seniors if we recommend the second-year students for the college entrance exams. Moreover, the exams are comprehensive. They will fight Magical Beasts, test their spiritual power, explore Mystic Realms, and face a strength test.”

…

After listening to the other teachers’ statements, Aisha wanted to speak but could not find a suitable opportunity.

Na’er noticed the second-year teachers had barely participated in the discussion, so he said, “I have recorded every third-year teacher’s statements. Now, the second-year teachers should speak. Miss Aisha, why don’t you start?”

Aisha did not panic when she heard Na’er’s words because she knew what she wanted to say, “Dear third-year teachers, I think your opinions are reasonable. However, Director Elroy had made this list to narrow down our choices. Then we can select the most outstanding students to take the entrance exams. If the students pass, it would be conducive to their growth, regardless of age.

“Two months of preparations are indeed short for the second-year students, but they have trained hard in the professional competition and elite training program. I think we should give them a chance to prove themselves.”

After listening to Aisha’s thoughts, Elroy, Na’er, and the other second-year teachers nodded.

Elroy sipped his tea and said, “Miss Aisha is right. White Deer High’s belief is to send outstanding students to better platforms to improve themselves in the best colleges and serve society as soon as possible.

“Moreover, not all students around the country participating in the entrance exams will be third-year students. It’s common for second-year students to participate as well. If they are outstanding enough, age should not be a factor.”

Despite what Elroy said, some third-year teachers still disagreed. They thought it was inappropriate for second-year students to take the entrance exams.

Elroy knew some would object, so he cleared his throat as his eyes shone brightly. He revealed a smile and said, “Just before this conference, I spoke with a deputy chief instructor from S Country’s elite training camp. He told me that our students had performed exceptionally well.”

The third-year teachers were excited upon hearing that because Elroy said their students had performed well. It would mean that their students had received graduation and participation certificates from the elite training program.

If that were the case, the students’ certificates would play a significant part in the college entrance exams and special recruitments. It was undoubtedly excellent news for every third-year student preparing for the entrance exams.

“One of our students even won the highest honor, the Best Graduate award,” Elroy added.

The third-year teachers became even more excited when they heard about the Best Graduate award because it meant that the top twenty or even top ten colleges would recruit that student. They thought having such a student from their school was an honor.

“That student’s name is Moss, a second-year student from Class Two!”

Everyone in the conference room was shocked when Elroy said that.

“How is that possible?!”

“Could it be a mistake?!”

“I heard that some of the training program’s tests had changed and that they would also include missions that required luck.”

“The elite training program’s instructors will issue written materials after each test, explaining each student’s performance in detail. We will see why Moss won that award when the time comes.”

…

Most third-year teachers refused to believe Elroy’s shocking announcement. However, some who had witnessed Moss’s miraculous performance during the professional competition expressed their praise for Moss.

“That’s amazing!”

“Moss keeps surprising us time and time again!”

Aisha became teary-eyed at that moment. Although she did not know how Moss did it, she was proud of him regardless. She kept praising inwardly, ‘You’re incredible, Moss!’

Even though most teachers were shocked, they still recognized the elite training program’s authority and influence.

Elroy said, “Since no one objects to waiting for the elite training camp’s written materials, we will commit to this list for the time being. We will add the students who performed well in the training program when the materials arrive. However, we will consider whether or not to remove those who have not performed well.”

No one objected to Elroy’s words. They only nodded in agreement.
