Chapter 7 Graduation Assessment
Chapter 7 Graduation Assessment
Time flies, and graduation day arrives in the blink of an eye.
Lin Ze got up early, had a quick breakfast at the college cafeteria, and then headed to the central square.
Today's graduation assessment will be held in the central square, and based on past experience, it is estimated to last all day.
As they approached the square, Lin Ze ran into Liu Hao, and the two naturally walked side by side, hurrying towards the square.
"You successfully changed jobs, right?"
On the way, Liu Hao stared at Lin Ze for a few moments, then suddenly said something.
Lin Ze raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you figure that out?"
"Tch." Liu Hao's tone was somewhat matter-of-fact. "If you hadn't already changed jobs, would you be so calm?"
Those who dare to participate in the graduation assessment fall into only two categories.
One type is professionals who have successfully changed jobs. As long as they perform normally, they can easily join the legion. The only difference is their rank.
Another group consists of aspiring professionals who are just one step away from changing careers; they come here to try their luck.
After everyone had registered, the teacher, holding the blue plastic board with the list attached, cleared his throat and called out loudly:
"Guo Xing, number 1, step forward for the assessment!"
A tall, thin boy stepped out from the crowd and stood nervously in the middle of the square.
At the same time, a man in military uniform next to Pan Bo stepped forward, raised his hand and waved it. A flash of light appeared, and a strange creature materialized out of thin air on the open ground four or five meters away.
The creature had a twisted humanoid body, a head that resembled a combination of a wolf and a dragon, protruding fangs, and a scarlet glow shimmering in its deep-set eye sockets. Its long tail coiled up like a lizard's.
Its muscular body was covered with a rough, bluish-gray stone skin, making it look at first glance like a living stone sculpture.
"Holy crap, it's a stone fang."
"This is tricky. These things are tough and thick-skinned; they're the hardest to deal with!"
"Oh no, I'm terrible at fighting these summoned creatures."
A commotion immediately broke out among the crowd, and many students wore expressions of distress.
The graduation assessment is very simple: students fight against creatures summoned by the Legion Summoner, and the Legion examiners score them based on their performance. The final score is the assessment result.
Summoners, however, summon different creatures.
Every profession has its strengths and weaknesses. When faced with a difficult situation, it is easy to underperform, which directly affects the final military rank assessment.
Every year, a small number of students with extremely bad luck fail because of this.
"The assessment begins."
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Shi Liao pounced forward, its cold metallic sheen tearing through the air as it viciously grabbed at Guo Xing.
Starting from the second year, the professional academy systematically teaches combat skills. In addition, with three years of continuous practical training, students who are not completely lazy generally develop considerable combat abilities.
Despite being tense, Guo Xing remained calm as the stone fang lunged at him. He took a deep breath, gripped his sword hilt tightly, and swung it to meet the fang's sharp claws.
Stone Fang's total attributes are around 10 to 15, comparable to a mid-to-upper-level level 1 professional. However, due to the lack of skills and talents, its actual combat power is actually weaker than that of a newly promoted level 1 professional.
As long as a level-one professional plays carefully and avoids making mistakes, they can generally win.
About four or five minutes later, Guo Xing struck Shi Liao in the neck with his sword, knocking him to the ground.
The fang struggled twice before turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.
"Guo Xing, you have passed the test." The judge's voice rang out on time.
Guo Xing let out a long sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with sweat.
He glanced nervously at the scoreboard that Pan Bo and the others were marking up, then dragged his tired body back into the crowd.
"Dai Tao, number 2, step forward for the assessment."
The second student stepped onto the field.
In a corner of the crowd, Liu Hao glanced at the number in Lin Ze's hand, his face showing surprise.
"How come you got the last number? When will you get to play?"
Lin Ze said casually, "Regardless of who goes on stage first, the final results won't be announced until everyone has finished their assessments, right?"
"That's true, but the first few and the last few to go on stage usually get lower scores, which is a disadvantage."
This is a graduation exam guide that Liu Hao found online.
Lin Ze smiled nonchalantly.
As long as the plan succeeds, even if he goes last, he can guarantee to leave a deep impression on the examiners.
