Chapter 43: Assessment's End
The old librarian knew he should say something about of the relationship between the items and the virtual world. Girl, if you take the book out of here the people in charge will know immediately. Its better to memorize as much as you can and leave the book behind in this space. He advised Feng Wu try the best she could in the remaining few days of the assessment.
Although the god level sword art was beyond Feng Wus current abilities, what proved to be most difficult were the symbols themselves. She didnt understand them. There was no way for her to memorize the entire book without help. Fortunately she had Xiao Chun, the purest of swords to help her. Her sword had no difficulties understanding and memorizing the book at all.
The old librarian didnt know about Xiao Chun. He was only hoping that Feng Wu could memorize some of the book. That way, when she returned to the virtual world, she would be able to slowly recall it and understand the contents.
Feng Wu gave the book back to the old librarian after Xiao Chun finished it. He had been very kind to her. Since she couldnt take the book out of the virtual space, she might as well give it to him.
The old librarian accepted the book saying, Next time you come to this space, just drop by. You can look at it anytime."
It was a pity Feng Wu didnt understand the meaning behind his words. She didnt think she would ever see him again. She knew that the virtual space was a special place used for the assessment. It was unlikely she would be able to return once she left.
Feng Wus days after finding the sword were easy breezy. She spent them all in the library looking at books. When the last day of the assessment finally arrived, she said goodbye to the old librarian and left for the beach.
Feng Wu felt the oppressive atmosphere with just a quick glance around. The children separated themselves into two distinct groups, those who made it and those who didnt. Some were excitedly chatting with each other, while others were sobbing dejectedly. Although they chatted with each other, the chatting was restricted to those within their groups, those that passed didnt speak to those that failed.
Feng Wu didnt walk forward to join either groups, but chose to remain where she was alone. She placed the sword from the blacksmith she would use for admission into her space bag.
In no time at all the three proctors appeared. Although their silhouettes were vague and fuzzy, each were discernible from the general shape of their figures.
Lou Shali, Aier Rogge and James looked down at the student candidates below.
This is the end of the entrance examinations for Xingguang Holy Academy. For those unable to complete the task, even if youre unable to enter Xingguang Holy Academy, you must not lose faith and give up on yourself. This is only one defeat. Remember to continue moving forward, practice your with well with your swords and spells. Lou Shali tried to encourage the children.
Her heartfelt words touched those who were depressed, and they raised their heads up responding in the affirmative. Although they were sad they couldnt get into Xingguang Holy Academy, it wasnt the end. They had the rest of their lives to be amazing.
Seeing their response Lou Shali was satisfied and promptly sent them out of the virtual space. She looked down at the excited faces of those left behind and continued.
Congratulations on successfully passing Xingguang Holy Academys entrance assessment and on the bright future ahead of you. At the academy you will learn all kinds of magic and sword skills. Those who enter the academy are destined to be the best of the best, with both abilities and luck.
There is no shortage of capable individuals at the academy. To maintain your student status you must not be prideful and rest on your laurels, otherwise you will fall behind. You will be dismissed if you do.
Just because youve gained entrance to the academy does not mean you will always be a student. There are two types of exams every year. You will repeat your year if you fail. Should you fail a second time you will be dismissed from the academy.
Xingguang Holy Academy has dismissed students before. If you dont want to be dismissed, just work hard.
The childrens jubilation dropped instantly. It sobered them greatly to hear that they could be dismissed after all they went through to get in. Their heads cooled and a properly somber expression showed on their faces.
The three teachers discretely nodded their heads at the reaction. Lou Shali dropped a completely black thin disk screen from the sky.
The students were instantly curious about the object.
She didnt keep them in suspense for long. You should all be aware that the scores for your assessment will be based on the level of the object you found. This is the scoreboard. Look below and you will see a platform. Put your hand and the object on the platform side by side. Your score will be transmitted to the head of your division automatically.
The students were amazed this kind of thing could be used to score. A girl stepped forward and placed a spell book on the platform before placing her hand on the side. The originally blank screen displayed the results immediately.
Name: xxxx
Strength: xxxx
Result: low-level magic spell book
Total Score: 70
The girl was disappointed to see such a low score. The book on the platform disappeared in a flash of light.
The things in the virtual world werent real, so of course it was impossible to bring them out of the space. Since they couldnt take physical objects out, whatever skills or spells the students picked up would only be useful if they were able to memorize them.
The students were told they could take what they found with them. This wasn't technically a lie. The school allowed the children to take away the things inside. They had to use their own abilities to do so though.
