Chapter 15 Annual Performance Appraisal Begins
Mu Ningxue walked out from behind, without connecting to the star, and ice and snow patterns flashed in her pupils, instantly freezing the platform with ice.
Click, click, click!
The ice continued to spread, reaching directly to the feet of the trainees, eliciting gasps of admiration from many of them.
"Wow, that's amazing! Is this the ultimate genius from Bo City?"
"Yes, I think I heard that she learned basic magic in just eight months."
"Oh, really? I could only control three stars when I was eight months pregnant."
After hearing the students' discussion, the principal walked to the microphone with satisfaction and said, "Everyone has witnessed the power of magic. I believe that in the future, all the students of Tianlan Magic High School will become excellent magicians. The annual assessment will now officially begin."
When the annual assessment began, Mu Zhuoyun, Mu Ningxue, and the principal stepped off the platform, and an examiner teacher presided over the assessment in front of each Star Sensing Stone.
Hundreds of trainees walked onto the platform one by one, placing their hands on the Star-Sensing Stone under the watchful eyes of the examiners, communicating with the stardust in their spiritual world. The Star-Sensing Stone would then reflect light of varying intensities based on the strength of the stardust within the trainee's body.
In Class 8 of the first year of high school, the first to undergo the assessment was He Yu, the girl who had awakened water magic.
He Yu said nervously, "It's over, it's over, I really feel like I'm going to be forced to quit."
"He Yu, don't be nervous. As long as you cultivate diligently, you won't be discouraged," Xue Musheng comforted her.
He Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the platform. Under the watchful eyes of the examiners, she placed her hands on the Star Sensing Stone.
Actually, when He Yu went on stage, there was another person who was also very nervous, and that was Zhang Xiaohou, who had a crush on He Yu.
He kept praying in his heart that He Yu would pass the test.
After He Yu placed her hands on the Star Sensing Stone, the originally gray Star Sensing Stone suddenly emitted blue starlight, and the light gradually spread, becoming more and more dazzling.
"A!"
"A!"
"A!"
Each person has three chances to take the test, and the result will be counted based on the highest score.
After He Yu heard that she had received A grades in all three tests, her heart pounded with excitement, and she asked with a touch of elation, "Teacher, did I really get A grades?"
"Hmm, your final grade is an A. Do we need to test your spellcasting skills?" the long-haired examiner asked.
"No, I'm not confident. Let's not take the spell casting test."
After He Yu's assessment results were announced, the students of Class 8 in the first year of high school and their homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, were dumbfounded.
"Damn, is this the kind of score that will get me expelled?"
"I thought she was really going to be expelled, but she got an A! An A! That's a great score, the standard for getting into the top class!"
"I suspect He Yu did it on purpose, deliberately playing dumb to take advantage of someone else."
Mo Fan chuckled and teased, "Hey monkey, your little Yu got an A on her test, aren't you excited?"
"Wh...what do you mean 'my Xiaoyu'? My relationship with He Yu isn't what you think," Zhang Xiaohou stammered in his defense.
Jiang Han reached out and patted Zhang Xiaohou on the shoulder, smiling as he said, "Xiaohou, remember this: the more you try to cover it up, the worse it gets."
"Alright, everyone, be quiet. Anyone who makes a sound during the assessment will be recorded as having failed." The bald examiner glanced at the whispering students below.
After He Yu came down, an ordinary boy went up next. The boy's grades weren't good; he got an E. After coming down, he buried his face in his hands and cried, saying, "Impossible, impossible! How could I get an E? Teacher, it must be a problem with the Star Sense Stone! Please give me another chance!"
"You've almost used up all three of your allotted times," the bald teacher said calmly.
Upon hearing these words, the boy felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he collapsed to the ground, powerless. Several students helped him down the platform to the school clinic for treatment.
"Bai Qingchong, grade B."
"Yuanling, grade C."
"Gong Li, grade C."
"······"
"Next, Zhang Xiaohou," the long-haired examiner announced, calling out Zhang Xiaohou's name.
Upon hearing his name called, Zhang Xiaohou clenched his fists nervously, took a deep breath, and walked towards the platform, looking like a warrior about to bravely face his death.
"It's my turn so soon, Brother Jiang, Brother Fan, I'm going up now," Zhang Xiaohou said nervously.
Jiang Han patted his shoulder and said softly, "Yeah, relax and calm down."
"Go, monkey!" Mo Fan said with a smile.
After hearing Jiang Han and Mo Fan's words, Zhang Xiaohou took a deep breath, and his tense body relaxed a lot.
As Zhang Xiaohou passed by Teacher Tang Yue, Tang Yue smiled and said, "Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
Zhang Xiaohou nodded and walked towards the platform. He came to the Star Sensing Stone and placed his hand on it.
With eyes closed, I began to sense the spiritual world within my body, entering a meditative state. After a few breaths, the gray star-sensing stone emitted a blue starlight.
The blue starlight flickered with Zhang Xiaohou's breathing, indicating that he was still a little nervous.
However, after two tests, the cyan starlight gradually stabilized, and the starlight was quite dazzling, even brighter than He Yu's score of A.
Zhang Xiaohou's grades were quite good, with two A's and one A+.
This score would be considered quite good by others, but Zhang Xiaohou was not satisfied. He felt that his score could have been better, so he said, "Examiner, I would like to try again."
The examiners exchanged glances, and after that, the long-haired examiner said, "Alright, try again then."
This time, Zhang Xiaohou was no longer nervous and quickly got into the zone. The Star Stone soon emitted a dazzling blue starlight, even more dazzling than the previous A+.
"A+!"
He received an A+ in the end, and when the results came out, the whole class looked surprised and envious.
How could I not be envious? An A+ grade is already the best in the class, even better than He Yu's. Getting into the top class is a sure thing.
"Holy crap, Zhang Xiaohou actually got an A+? How is that possible?"
"Dude, don't say it's impossible. They still got an A+. You can only be envious."
"Sigh, why didn't I get an A+? If I could get an A+, my dad would have agreed to give me the magic tool."
Amidst the envious gazes of the entire class, Zhang Xiaohou's face revealed a sense of pride, and both teachers, Xue Musheng and Tang Yue, also wore gratified smiles.
Zhang Xiaohou was only close to Jiang Han and Mo Fan in the class, and all three of them were quite talented.
"Alright, your score is very good. Next, Bai Hongmao." The examiner smiled and nodded, then called out the next student.
However, Zhang Xiaohou did not intend to go down. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Teacher, I want to continue the magic casting test."
"Are you sure?" the examiner asked, somewhat surprised.
The examiner was surprised that Zhang Xiaohou would ask for a magic casting test. He was the first student to ask for a magic casting test. He had asked the previous students, but none of them had asked for a magic casting test.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded and said, "I know that joining the elite class grants me the qualification to use Stardust Magic Artifacts for cultivation. The higher my grades, the longer I can use them. Therefore, I want to continue to be tested on magic casting."
