Chapter 548
"The practical assessment of the summoning class is very simple, just a test of two summoning techniques."
"One is the normal summoning technique, and the other is the sacrifice summoning technique."
"The requirement for the normal summoning technique is to use the normal summoning technique to summon three magic cards in a row within one minute, which means that the summoning time of the normal summoning technique is compressed to within 12 seconds."
"The requirement for the sacrifice summoning technique is even simpler. As long as you successfully perform the sacrifice summoning technique once, you can pass it."
"Emmm, there shouldn't be anyone who can't pass it, right?"
Finally, after a while of hanging out with the magic elves, Dark washed up and went to sleep.
...
May 24th, Thursday.
It was drizzling in the sky, and the air was damp.
Dark didn't leave the dormitory until seven in the morning. He wore his school uniform neatly, combed his hair meticulously, and there was no scratch on his fair face. He was as perfect as a person walking out of a painting.
First-year students generally go out at this time. Not long after he walked out of the door, he met Diana and Rose, and then walked to a place.
Diana was carefree as always, not nervous about the exam at all.
Of course, she didn't need to be nervous.
The practical assessment of the summoning class was not difficult for her.
But Rose was obviously a little nervous.
Her magic talent was quite good, but she didn't have much practical experience, so the test of the normal summoning was actually a little difficult for her.
Moreover, using the normal summoning three times within 12 seconds in a row and compressing only one normal summoning to less than 12 seconds are two completely different concepts.
In order to pass the test, she also did intensive training this month, but she still had no confidence.
After all, there are many examples of mistakes on the spot.
And Rose was like this, so other students would not be too relaxed.
When the three of them arrived in the classroom, they found that the atmosphere in the classroom was unexpectedly dull.
After Dark sat down in the old place, he turned his head and looked around, and found that many classmates were twitching their mouths, obviously cramming at the last minute.
He couldn't help but be silent.
…
Although the exam was after eight o'clock, the classroom was already full at 7:30 in the morning.
Professor Sylph, who was in charge of the summoning test, entered the classroom shortly afterwards.
She greeted the students and wrote down today's test items on the blackboard.
Then she turned to face the audience, pressed her hands slightly, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
After just a few seconds, the classroom was completely quiet.
Professor Sylph nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are still fifteen minutes before the summoning test. The test items themselves are not difficult. As long as you don't get nervous during the test, you should be able to pass.
Of course, passing the standard line is just passing. If you want to get a higher score, you need to show higher skills and proficiency. I will score you on the spot based on your performance."
"Score on the spot?" For students who are not good at summoning, their faces turned pale.
Scoring on the spot in front of so many classmates, if you fail, it will undoubtedly be a public execution.
Professor Sylph's words not only did not have a "comforting" effect, but made them more nervous.
Even those who were confident of passing the test could not help but be more concerned at this time.
However, there were also people who were excited by this.
For example, Witt Gold was quite confident in his summoning skills.
This formed a sharp contrast with Robert Bloheim beside him.
…
"Ding-ling-ling!"
At exactly eight o'clock, as the class bell rang, Professor Sylph stood up and said, "Then the exam will begin now. Those who have registered their names please go to the podium to get the "summoning card". Everyone has five minutes to perform. First, Teddy Doron from the Nobles' Academy, Susan Beard from the Knights' Academy, and the Magicians' Academy..."
"Am I the first one?" Doron heard his name and stood up suddenly, full of confidence.
But Susan, who was sitting next to Emma, could not help but panic.
Four branches, four students, first went on stage.
Then Professor Sylph called out four more names and asked them to get ready.
The four people who went to the podium first received the "summoning cards" in turn, and began to perform summoning under the urging of Professor Sylph.
Duolong glanced at the three people who came on stage at the same time, and with a smile on his face, he picked out three one-star "summoning cards" and summoned them on the spot.
He was already very proficient in the normal summoning technique, and after many duels, he could not be nervous at all in such occasions.
This time, he also summoned three large light balls in succession very smoothly.
Then he picked out two two-star cards from the remaining "summoning cards" without stopping, first summoned them with the normal summoning technique, and then summoned the last four-star "summoning card" with the sacrifice summoning technique.
With a huge four-star light ball being summoned, he completed all the tests in just two minutes.
When the last summoning was over, Duolong immediately turned his head to look at Professor Sylph, looking forward to it.
Professor Sylph nodded with satisfaction and said on the spot: "Very good, although the sacrifice summoning technique is a little rusty, the normal summoning technique is already very proficient, and the continuous summoning can still maintain a stable output of magic power, which is already excellent among the first-year students."
"Then professor, how many points did I get?" Duolong asked immediately.
Professor Sylph said, "Normal Summoning is 42 points, Sacrifice Summoning is 38 points, and the total score is 80 points."
Doron: “Eh?”
Doron, who thought he had at least 90 points, opened his mouth subconsciously to the size of an egg.
Professor Sylph was no longer looking at him: “Susan Beard, the general summoning technique needs to be strengthened, 32 points, and the sacrificial summoning technique is barely qualified, 30 points, a total of 62.”
Susan supported her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately turned her head and looked at Emma in the audience with gratitude.
Emma shook her head subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted and forced a smile at her.
In order to help her two friends strengthen the summoning technique, she worked hard for a long time, but she didn’t expect Susan to perform poorly because of nervousness when summoning on the stage.
Otherwise, she could have at least 70 points, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but look at another friend beside her-Lucy.
This glance made Lucy, who was already nervous, suddenly feel a lot of pressure, and she couldn’t help but look away.
…
The assessment of summoning technique was carried out quickly at a speed of four or five minutes per group.
About half an hour later, Sarah Swati from the School of Magic walked up to the podium with full confidence, and then got the first score of more than 90 points so far.
Soon after, Emma Metis walked up to the podium under the gaze of all the students and got the second score of more than 90 points.
Professor Sylph's scoring standard is not loose, even Sarah and Emma did not get 95 points.
And the only ones who can be stronger than them in summoning are probably them.
The first-year students couldn't help but look back at Dark Dimon and Witt Gold sitting in the last row.
With the summoning speed shown by Dark in the duel competition, let alone more than 95 points, even a full score would not be too much!
They really couldn't imagine, if Dark couldn't get a full score, who else among the first-year students could get a full score?
As for Witt, in the previous duel competition, Witt could only compare with Emma and Sarah in summoning speed, so it is possible to get 95 points.
"Noble House Rose Fruti, Knight House... prepare in advance."
Professor Sylph's voice interrupted the students' thoughts.
Rose walked onto the stage with a nervous look on her face amid Diana's encouragement.
A few minutes later, the nervousness on her face disappeared, and she walked off the stage in obvious joy.
Just now, Professor Sylph gave her 72 points!
Dark, who was watching her walk down, rested his chin in boredom. He was a little worried at first, but Rose exposed her strength as soon as she opened her mouth. These 72 points were the result of not performing so well.
Really worried!
Soon after, Diana also confidently went on stage to perform a performance, and finally got a high score of 93 points, attracting the attention of the audience.
At nearly ten o'clock, Dark finally heard his name.
"Noble House Dark Dimon, Knight House Robert Bloheim, Magic House..."
When Dark stood up, he smiled at Robert who was looking over from the other side, and walked to the podium.
After that, he waited for a while by the wall, took a set of "summoning cards" from the box next to Professor Sylph, and came to the middle of the podium.
When all four students stood up, Professor Sylph gave an order, and the four students started to summon at the same time.
Three seconds later, Dark summoned the first one-star light ball.
Then in the ninth second, he summoned the second one-star light ball.
In the fifteenth second, he summoned the third one-star light ball.
In the twenty-first second, he summoned the first two-star light ball.
In the twenty-seventh second, he summoned the second two-star light ball.
In the thirty-sixth second, he summoned the last four-star light ball.
When the huge four-star light ball emerged from the sacrificial summoning array, the three students around him were still trying to summon the one-star light ball!
"Pah!"
Robert, who was shocked by the sudden appearance of the huge light ball, accidentally bit his tongue. The normal summoning technique, which was originally difficult to even touch the qualified threshold, suddenly became even worse.
…
“Nothing to say, Dake Dimon, full marks.”
Professor Sylph’s voice was very calm.
The students in the classroom were not too surprised.
As if all this was taken for granted.
If it wasn’t full marks, it would be really strange.
After Dake returned the set of “summoning cards” to Professor Sylph, he returned to his seat slowly.
Not long after he sat down, the three students who took the test with him also stepped down one after another.
Robert, who stepped down last, looked pale, which made Witt comfort him: “It’s okay, Robert, aren’t there many people who didn’t pass? You won’t be lonely with many people.”
Robert: “???”
Witt took the stage immediately afterwards, but only got 92 points.
…
The practical test of the summoning class ended smoothly before eleven o’clock.
Whether they passed or not, they all went straight to the cafeteria, and after eating, they quickly returned to the dormitory to prepare for the next practical test of potions.
Compared with the summoning class with a fixed goal, the practical test of potions is obviously more difficult.
Professor Thompson, who was in charge of potions, did not even reveal the test items, which made students who were not good at potion preparation feel uneasy.
For example, Diana, who was full of confidence in the morning, became like an eggplant hit by frost in the afternoon, and was wilted.
"Don't be nervous. The most important thing for potion preparation is a steady hand and a steady mind. You have both, so it is impossible for you to fail." In order to ease Diana's nervousness, Dark said against his will.
Then Diana, who had regained her vitality, suffered a tragic Waterloo in the practical assessment of the potion department in the afternoon.
Looking at the black foam gushing out of the crucible, Diana couldn't help but purse her lips.
But there were many people who had the same experience as her.
The whole experimental classroom was filled with a rotten stench.
Professor Thompson crossed his arms and sneered at the panicked students.
He always believed that "the absence in class is the tears in the exam", so this time the practical assessment specially chose a more difficult potion experiment, ready to teach the students a good lesson.
