Chapter 14: Assessment Rules _1

The old dean said: "Let's welcome Teacher Na Ye with a round of applause."

The applause that followed was sparse, the unconventional appearance of Cowardly Knight Na Ye wasn't particularly appealing to the young boys.

Na Ye didn't care, and cheerfully said: "Hello everyone. I am Na Ye. Well, from now on, you should be prepared. The first year will change with my arrival. This weekend's rest will be canceled and a two-day overall assessment for the first-year will take place."

Upon hearing the cancellation of the weekend rest, the nine hundred students instantly caused an uproar.

Na Ye raised his hand with a smile and made a pressing motion, and suddenly, everyone present, including the teachers, felt a surge of invisible pressure. The entire venue quieted down.

The students were alright and did not quite understand what was going on, but those who could become teachers at Temple Academy were at least official members of the Temple, their eyes sharpened immediately. What kind of strength did this grade leader have?

Na Ye continued: "We're not just conducting your assessment without giving you something in return. The academy will reward or punish based on the results of the assessment. The reward will be element crystals that assist in cultivation; you can exchange your points earned in the assessment to obtain them, and you can choose any attribute you like. As for the punishment, naturally, it would be increased cultivation time."

"Since it is the first assessment, let me announce the content in advance. This weekend, you will be taken to a certain area, each of you has an academy badge. Whatever means are used, for each badge you acquire, you earn a point. By the end, anyone who still has at least five points will pass. Beyond the five points, every ten extra points can be exchanged for a small piece of element crystal. For those who do not know the value of this, you can ask your class teacher when you return. In this assessment, I will give you all an additional benefit. The badges of Long Dangdang from Mages Class One, and Long Kongkong from Knights Class One, each worth one hundred points. In the next five days, besides your normal cultivation, you can prepare for the weekend exam. During the examination, no weapons or equipment are to be used."

What the hell?

Everyone else only gets one point, but their points are one hundred? Many people have only heard of the genius brothers, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, but after all, school just started a week ago, and those who knew them were only their classmates. At this time, even the eyes of their classmates were beginning to look different.

This is a trap! Long Kongkong stared blankly at the stage. This isn't Cowardly Knight, but a Trap Knight, right?

From the stage, Na Ye continued to add: "Given Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong's excellent talents, for this assessment, they each need to obtain fifty points to pass. Points can be exchanged for element crystals."

What are element crystals? Ordinary students may not necessarily know. The so-called element crystals are actually some minerals with elemental attributes. The value of element crystals of different purities varies. Even the most ordinary element crystals are not cheap in the market. It is the best supplement for all professionist during cultivation. You can cultivate without element crystals, but with element crystals, the cultivation speed will definitely increase.

Among all the element crystals, the most valuable is naturally the light element crystal. Because its application is the most widespread.

Next, other teachers talked about some precautions for the freshmen. However, the attention of all the freshmen was almost entirely on the upcoming assessment. The thought of passing the assessment was not an easy task. At least five other students' badges needed to be obtained. This means that most students will not pass the assessment. The punishment isn't stated now, but additional training will not bring about good times.

The meeting had just ended, Long Kongkong dashed to Long Dangdang like a lightning bolt, grimacing, and said, "Bro, what should we do! If we can't pass the assessment, the old man will definitely not let us go."

Long Dangdang impatiently said: "Why are you panicking? We'll talk about it in the evening." He indicated with his eyes as he spoke.

Didn't it seem so? Almost the entire attention of the first year was on them now. These were a hundred points! That was equal to ten pieces of element crystals. Who would think that it's too much?

Perhaps he felt the crisis, Long Kongkong didn't loaf around during the day's classes, and paid candid attention to his lectures. Once school ended, he rushed straight to the dormitory in the Magic Academy.

Long Kongkong pushed the slightly ajar dormitory gate open and entered. As he did, he was stunned. In the living room, Long Dangdang was holding up his right hand, and on his right index finger, a small golden orb was flickering brightly.

"What is this?" Long Kongkong had just conjured up a question when he noticed his older brother's devilish smile. Long Kongkong knew his maverick brother too well. He turned around and attempted to sprint for the door.

But it was too late.

With a "swish", the little light orb had already arrived in front of him. It was completely from reflex that Long Kongkong raised his hand. Perhaps it was the imminent crisis that stimulated him, but he managed to connect with the shield in his storage ring in an instant.

With a flash of light, the shield was already in front of him.

"Pop" was the sound that the light orb broke against the shield. The impact force made Long Kongkong move two steps backwards, almost sitting down on the ground. Fortunately, the physical training these past days wasn't in vain. The golden light splashed around but quickly extinguished, dimming the light inside the room a bit.
