Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution Chapter 58 Evolutionary Body Assessment Begins Now!1
The students in the line were mostly whispering to each other, and the leading teachers at the head of the line were no exception. However, their behavior was given a more respectable term—conversation. So, the teachers’ idle chat seed sowhat more reasonable.
At the very front of the line, the team leaders from the First, Second, and Third High Schools were quite close to each other, only a few steps apart. Having been responsible for leading the teams in recent years, they had all grown rather familiar with each other. Thus, as in previous years, they casually chatted with one another while waiting for the physical assessnt to start.
"Teacher Cang, that girl from your Third High School nad Qin Yao seems quite formidable. She has been first in every citywide unified exam since her senior year," said Teacher Qiu from Second High. "I think she’s highly likely to be this year’s top perforr at the physical assessnt. I’m afraid your Third High School is going to outshine our Second High School again."
"Teacher Qiu, you’re joking," replied Teacher Cang from Third High. "Everyone knows how impressive Xu Haolong from your Second High School is. I hear he’s now a Half-step Rare Level Being. He just purposely underperford in the previous citywide unified exams, playing possum so he could dazzle everyone during the college entrance exam."
As the conversation went on, the two team leaders from the key high schools, Second and Third, began exchanging polite complints. The team leader from the First High School, on the other hand, was completely ignored by them. After all, in recent years, the college entrance exam results at First High had beco increasingly worse, and their status had been steadily declining, going from top to bottom. So, the team leaders from the Second and Third High Schools would typically leave the leader from First High School out initially. Only after chatting enough with each other, their counterpart from another key high school, would they eventually turn the conversation to include First High School.
The pleasantries always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the wait was nearly over. After a round of mutual flattery, the two key high school team leaders finally shifted their conversation toward First High School.
Teacher Cang from Third High walked over with a big smile on his face. Then, with the air of old friends eting, he struck up a conversation with the team leader from First High. "Teacher Zhu, your student Zhang Nan from First High has been showing increasing strength in the recent citywide unified exams. It feels like he could beco a dark horse in the college entrance exam."
Hearing this, Teacher Qiu from Second High School, who was nearby, also nodded in agreent and said, "That’s indeed true. I heard he’s been leaving the second-place finisher far behind in every exam. He might just keep improving and snatch the top spot."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhu from First High School thought to himself, This is getting out of hand! He quickly waved his hands, saying, "Oh no, that’s just so minor success within the school. Making it into the city’s top four would be a triumph. As for being the top perforr, we wouldn’t dare to hope for it."
As the three team leaders chatted sporadically, Su Yan, who was in the line, listened to every word without missing a beat. By then, he had already morized those two top students from Second and Third High Schools. He was just waiting for the physical assessnt to start so he could go and show off to these top students, one by one.
Soon, as ti ticked by, it reached 1:50 p.m. There were about ten minutes left before the start of the Evolutionary Physical Assessnt. At that mont, each team leader began to distribute physical assessnt forms to their students. So of the more responsible team leaders, while handing out the forms, also made sure to give the students so ’chicken soup for the soul’ and ’shots of adrenaline’—pep talks and motivational speeches.
"Students, the physical assessnt is about to begin!"
"You are only one last step away from Evolution University, the school of your dreams!"
"We must give it our all during the assessnt to perform to the best of our abilities."
"Of course, even if you don’t pass, don’t be too sad or too disappointed."
"You are all still young, only in your teens. You still have hope and a future!"
"If we don’t get into Evolution University, we can still go to the top three schools, and we can also..."
"All right, good luck to everyone on the assessnt!"
And so, everyone reluctantly downed the ’chicken soup’ and took the ’adrenaline shots,’ getting suitably fired up. Before long, the students in the assessnt building started heading towards the assessnt area in small groups.
Just as the students were entering the assessnt area, about seven or eight people had gathered in the main office of the assessnt center. Among them were the director and deputy director of the Luo City Education Bureau, as well as high-ranking officials from the province.
As the students entered one after another, the high-ranking official from the provincial education bureau, the middle-aged man with a square face, suddenly spoke up, his tone serious, "Director Chen, if Luo City’s passing rate for this physical assessnt still doesn’t reach the 20% mark, you should start considering what you’re going to do about it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Haicheng, the director of the Luo City Education Bureau standing beside the middle-aged man, imdiately began to sweat profusely and stiffened. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said very carefully, "But Director Zhang, this 20% physical assessnt passing rate is indeed very difficult to achieve..."
"Oh? Difficult?" The middle-aged man’s voice sounded even heavier. "Then why can other cities achieve it, but Luo City cannot?"
Chen Haicheng’s cold sweat broke out even more profusely. His lips trembled slightly as he pleaded, "Director Zhang, give three more years. I will definitely be able to increase Luo City’s physical assessnt passing rate to 20%..."
"You dare talk to about three more years?" As soon as the middle-aged man heard "three years," his face imdiately darkened. He looked at Chen Haicheng coldly and said indifferently, "Three years, and then another three years after that. Chen Haicheng, I’ve already given you three years once. Do you still have the gall to ask for more?"
Chen Haicheng didn’t dare to speak anymore. He could already feel the anger emanating from the middle-aged man. Frankly, an eruption of rage seed possible at any mont. At such tis, as a subordinate, it was best to quietly accept the scolding. He shouldn’t even think about explaining himself; it was best not to say a word. Otherwise, it could easily backfire.
"What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?" Seeing that Chen Haicheng didn’t dare to speak, the middle-aged man almost wanted to laugh at his incompetence. "I’m telling you, Chen Haicheng, you must produce so results for this year. I’m not going to expect anything from you in terms of overall performance improvent for now, but as for the top students, if you continue to drag Nanjiang Province down..."
"Then the position of director of the Luo City Education Bureau will go to soone else. As for you, well, it seems you haven’t been very active lately. Perhaps you should beco a gardener. At that point, you can work with the old gardeners to weed, trim flowers, and chase away pests and beasts..."
"Director... Director Zhang..." Halfway through the middle-aged man’s speech, Chen Haicheng’s legs went weak, and he started to stutter. The others nearby also showed a slight change in expression upon hearing this, their gazes toward Chen Haicheng tinged with pity. With Chen Haicheng’s Legendary Level strength, he could still comfortably hold the position of director in Luo City. But if he were to beco a gardener, after so many years of living in comfort, it might very well be a one-way trip for him...
"Director Zhang, I..." Chen Haicheng wanted to say sothing more.
But before he could finish, the middle-aged man glared at him and said, "If you say one more word, I’ll send you to be a gardener right now. It might even help relieve so pressure from the front lines."
Hearing this, Chen Haicheng wisely shut his mouth, not daring to utter another syllable.
「Inside the physical assessnt area.」
The 2,200 prospective students from the nine high schools of Luo City had all entered. Su Yan arrived at the center of the physical assessnt area and looked around briefly. He saw that the vast area was divided into six major testing zones: Speed, Elasticity, Fist Strength, Reaction, Spirit, and HP.
Because the tests for Spirit and HP significantly depleted one’s Physical Strength, most students usually saved them for last. As for the remaining four, it was up to the students’ preference; they could test in any order they liked.
There were two hours allocated for the physical assessnt, and if the students didn’t dawdle, they could typically finish all the sections of the assessnt in under an hour. Su Yan was aware of this, so he wasn’t in a hurry to begin. Instead, he continued to stand there, scanning the students around him, looking for a benchmark to show off against.
He quickly spotted Zhang Nan, the top student from his school’s honors class—the ultimate academic overachiever. This was the guy who consistently outperford Lin Ruoxi in every citywide unified exam. His reputation was formidable, and many top students and teachers from Second and Third High Schools knew of him.
At this very mont, Zhang Nan was walking with the aloofness of soone who didn’t recognize his own kin towards the fist strength test area, followed by a group of sycophants, his impressive aura at full blast.
There’s an old saying: before you deal with external threats, you must secure internal stability. If that’s the case... then Nan Pikar, it’s you! My, Su Sothing’s, journey of showing off during the physical assessnt will begin with you, my schoolmate...
Having processed these thoughts, Su Yan didn’t dilly-dally at all and imdiately started walking, following Zhang Nan to the fist strength test area.
