Chapter 468: The New Monthly Examination
Xiao Lin was more familiar with Dawn Academy’s managent system than other first-years. The term ‘upper managent of the academy’ was very vague, but in truth, the first-year’s monthly examinations had always been arranged by the student union, but the president had ntioned the student union was working with upper managent.
The student union was already considered upper managent within the internal academy, so it was obvious that the president was referring to the managent bodies within the colonial territories, but Dawn Academy had always separated the academy and the territories, never having them interfere with each other. How could the territories interfere with the monthly examinations this ti, and even choose to involve the first-years?
After the long official speech, the president paused, letting everyone know the important parts were about to co up before he slowly said, “I believe you would have heard from Chen Yu during the start of the sester that the academy intends to establish a club of elites. After careful study by the student union, we have decided that the first-years’ Elite Club will be set at Black-Iron Rank. The standard will hold for half a year, which ans it will be adjusted every sester. This ti, the Elite Club will have their monthly examinations separately!”
Everyone was shocked, but after a mont, most of them revealed looks of understanding. In each class, the monitors that were at the helm were growing more and more distant in strength from the others, especially since this batch of first-years were special in the sense that they were the batch with the most talent holders in the past decade. The growth of talent holders was faster than regular students, which was slowly turning evident among the first-years.
However, that would present the problem of the difficulty of the monthly examinations. If it were too simple, the talent holders would naturally have an easy ti getting through it, while the regular students would just need to rely on the talent holders carrying the majority of them through it. It was definitely not enough for the academy, the entity that wanted to train them.
If it was too difficult, the talent holders might be challenged, but it was basically sentencing the regular students to hell. The academy definitely did not hope to see death rates that were too high. The goal of the monthly examinations were training in order to allow the students to be able to adapt to the New World in the future, and not for the students to use up their lifespan and all die before they even graduated.
In the past, due to the low number of talent holders, a moderate difficulty level had always been fitting, and the student union did not need to rack their brains over it. However, this batch of new students had an explosive number of talent holders, which ant the old examination style was not appropriate.
Another way of putting it was that the separated examination was forced by the circumstances. The monitors present were all shocked, but they could sowhat understand the decision.
Cheng Ming raised his hand and asked, “If we will be separately tested, then what about our classes? Ah, what I an is that, who will lead them?”
“Haven’t you all assigned group leaders? As leaders and officers, you can’t always do everything yourself; you still need to trust your subordinates. That is sothing you’ll have to learn eventually.” The president’s smile seed to have a powerful aura behind it. In terms of being a leader, the president was actually the most successful example present. He was popular within the school, and most of the students followed him willingly, with both respect and admiration.
“The maps for the examination are announced the day before, which ans that we can actually assign the tasks and use the maps to plan everything beforehand, including general personnel assignnts. What I an is, we can assign things like who will take over if one of our group leaders dies in the middle.” Xiao Lin raised his hand as he voiced his suggestions.
The student union president looked at him with praise, nodding. “Not bad, your thoughts are quite holistic. Let emphasize once again, you are all monitors. Anything internal within your classrooms, as long as it doesn’t affect the academy negatively, can be handled completely by you. Outsiders, us in the student union included, will not interfere needlessly, be it in assignnts, or rewards and punishnts. Of course, any consequences of your decisions will be borne by yourself as well.”
Chen Dao raised his hand to speak as well. He was not interested in all that as he said, “Alright alright, President. Why don’t you go straight into the main topic? Let’s not talk about the regular monthly examination. How will the examinations for us class monitors be done?”
Han Manman interrupted him. “Did you not hear what the president said? It’s not the monitors. It’s the Elite Club, we are all elites!” She emphasized the word ‘elite’, very obviously proud of herself. She might be a class monitor that had only been formalized this sester, but she was still at the Black Iron-rank, fitting the paraters for being an elite perfectly.
Chen Dao did not like the woman that much. Softly, he muttered, “You call yourself an elite? Learn so manners as basic as raising your hand before speaking with the student union first!”
“You!”
The two of them glared at each other until Chen Yu coughed softly. The president did not treat things lightly, and he had to stop it himself as the year-leader. Chen Dao imdiately shut his mouth, his face clearly showing he did not want to bother talking to her. However, Han Manman refused to let it go, not letting the matter rest even with the year-leader’s interference. It was only when Chen Yu started to look angry did Han Manman finally shut her mouth in realization.
The small drama did not affect the president, who still maintained his gentle smile as he said, “As for the monthly examination for the Elite Club. We’ve thought about it a lot, but this ti, your examination is being handled by the upper managent. Let’s have your instructor tell you, the Captain of the Seventh Regint, Yu i. I trust you all know her.”
What followed was Yu i standing right in front of the president, smiling as she looked at everyone. Her gaze looked like she was appraising her troops, and she only averted her gaze after a while, not giving any indication of whether or not she was satisfied. She cleared her throat and dropped a bombshell imdiately. “I won’t go on with the bullsh*t. Based on the instructions and will of the old farts, with the new curriculum, anyone within the Elite Club will have their examinations be done in actual combat!”
“Oh, so it’s actual combat.”
“Yes, so it is.”
There was a brief mont of silence.
“Holy sh*t!”
“What? Did I hear that right?!”
“Real combat?”
“Real combat!”
After a brief silence, the entire classroom stirred. The president’s news about the separate monthly examinations was like dropping a pebble in a lake, but Yu i’s news was a boulder in a puddle!
The monthly examinations would be done with real combat?
What flashed in their minds was not the difficulty of the monthly examinations, nor was it the rewards, but rather three large words; ‘The New World’!
They could go to the New World! Other than for Xiao Lin, was there any news that would be more exciting for them?
