Chapter 163 Draft (Ⅲ)

"What's so funny?" Joan asked Thomas in a low voice, puzzled.

"Joan, if you treat me as a friend, you must listen to my advice - don't believe the old guy Walter's nonsense, you must go all out in the draft and strive to be ranked in the top four!"

"Why the top four?" Thomas' rare serious expression made Joan feel a little uneasy.

"Because I don't want you to fall into the hands of Walter Lee and become another victim of his oppression!" Thomas warned Joan in a low voice, "According to the draft rules, each mentor can select up to 3 freshmen, and at least Take one, Walter Lee's draft pick is ranked No. 5, as long as your results can be squeezed into the top four, you can escape his clutches!"

"This Master Li...is he mean to the students?" Qiao An asked tentatively.

"It's more than mean? It's cruel!" Speaking of Walter Lee's personality, Thomas couldn't hide his hatred. "Walter Lee's students are notoriously difficult to graduate. One of the fifth grade students named Martin Smith, three I had already reached the graduation standard years ago, but was forced to repeat the grade for three consecutive years by the "Old Owl" for various reasons. Now I am in my 20s, and I am still wasting time on campus, forced to work as an unpaid assistant for Walter Lee , I have to do all kinds of dirty work, think about how miserable it is!"

Joan's scalp felt numb.

No wonder Mr. Havel had a low opinion of Walter Lee. This man's teaching level may be good, but when it comes to character, he is really not worthy of his title of tutor!

"Why does a person like Walter Lee still stay in the school and do his best, and the principal doesn't care?" Joan asked angrily.

Thomas shrugged and said with some helplessness: "The status of the tutors in the Arcane Branch is quite high. Besides, Leiden College has implemented a tutor responsibility system since its establishment. Students who want to get a diploma must not only depend on their academic level, but also on Is the tutor willing to sign his graduation certificate? If the tutor is not willing to sign, he can claim that 'this student has not received my true biography. If he is allowed to graduate and someone asks who is his student, I can't afford to be ashamed' , in order to protect the reputation of the tutor, it is reasonable to strictly demand the students. Even if Mr. Principal knows that this person is too mean, it is inconvenient to intervene. Otherwise, the tutors of the whole school will probably unite to boycott the principal, and Mr. Principal will not be able to continue. We can only pack up and leave."

"This is really dark..." Joan shuddered.

"What's darker is that people like Walter Lee are not stupid at all. They know how to watch people order dishes. They treat students from wealthy families very kindly, even if their academic performance fails to meet graduation standards, they will try to accommodate them. The circle of high society in Dungang is very popular, which is one of the reasons why Mr. Principal dare not offend him easily. As for those students who come from the countryside and come from poor backgrounds, they are not considered human beings at all in his eyes. Kid, he didn’t dare to resist even being oppressed by him at will.” Thomas patted Joan on the shoulder, and said with a complicated expression, “Now you know what Walter Lee meant by calling the contract students to his side just now? I’m worried about ‘Old Owl' has taken a fancy to you, so follow him to hear what tricks he wants to play, Joan, if you are unfortunately selected by him, I... I will try to find a way to clear it up with my family, either help you change your mentor, or send me too. Sending it to Walter Lee, with my backing, the 'Old Owl' is somewhat afraid, and dare not make things difficult for you."

Joan was very moved when he heard that, he never thought that this classmate whom he just met today would be so loyal. It seems that not all rich young masters in the city are bad people, and occasionally there are enthusiastic people like Thomas who are eager for justice.

Joan was lucky, and the lottery was ranked third from the bottom, so that he could fully observe the performance of other students before the interview, and learn how to deal with this unfamiliar assessment.

When it was Qiao An's turn, even though he had already gained confidence in his heart and made a draft before the battle, it was still difficult and invisible for him to introduce himself in front of all the tutors and classmates for such a shy and introverted person. of psychological barriers.

Qiao An stood in the middle of the playground and became the focus of hundreds of eyes. He felt inexplicably dry and his mind went blank due to nervousness.

He stood there blankly for two minutes, and found that the faces of some instructors had obvious expressions of impatience, and he still couldn't overcome his inner demons to speak calmly, so he could only raise his hands in an almost desperate mood, stammering Said: "Excuse me, can I read it like this?" He pointed out a piece of manuscript paper, which was the outline he wrote when listening to someone else's interview just now.

The instructors looked at each other and laughed.

Walter Lee frowned, thinking that Joan's performance of stage fright was really embarrassing: "If everyone recites from the manuscript paper, what's the point of having an interview? It's just a written test!"

"Country kids have never seen the world, and stage fright is normal. It's not a big deal." A middle-aged tutor with a short, chubby figure and rosy face excused Joan with a smile, "Let him read from the manuscript paper! Anyway, we choose They are apprentices to sorcerers, and they don’t expect to train these children to become lawyers or diplomats, so what does it matter if they are poor in eloquence? Are you right?”

"Master Rawls is right! When I was young, I didn't dare to speak in public. Later, when I got older, my face gradually thickened."

"Just let the kid read from the manuscript paper. Anyway, there is no rule that the interview must be done without a manuscript."

...

The mentors discussed in a hurry for a while, and in the end Master Rawls' opinion received overwhelming support, and they all agreed that Joan would introduce himself according to the draft written in advance.

Joan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thanked Master Rawls who unintentionally helped him tide over the difficulties. He picked up the manuscript and stuttered to recite his own origin, except for concealing his "strange blood". They are all truthful introductions.

After introducing his life experience, the last part of the self-report is to introduce his mage level, spellcasting attributes and spells. There were twelve pairs of "advanced internal vision" eyes staring at him below, and Joan dared not hide it at all, so he answered truthfully:

"Level 2 mage, intelligence attribute 22, the best spell is... 1st ring high mage's hand."

Before Qiao An finished speaking, there was already a tide of exclamation around the playground. Including Thomas Chap, all the Austrian law major freshmen participating in the draft were deeply shocked by Joan's strength.

Five more broke out again today, and finished writing the plot of the "draft", so that everyone can enjoy watching it at once.
