Annual tests like this one, administered personally by the principal, are extremely rare.
The test content also made the new gentlemen present look embarrassed, and even shattered all the confidence they had built up in the early stages of the test.
The content to be tested is actually the weakest point.
Since gentleman training often focuses on one of the basic attributes, a wrestler like Dagobert will basically spend 70-80% of his energy on strength training, and will not spend any time on intelligence, which has the lowest value.
For example, if a gentleman holding a staff and being born weak were asked to take a strength-related test, he would have no idea how to complete it.
However, after carefully analyzing the principal's words, a small number of gentlemen still found the key points and breakthroughs.
Yi Chen also immediately understood the nature of the test.
"Thinking space is the direct manifestation of spirit."
Although it is the weakest test, it is possible for an individual to take the test if he has enough perseverance and determination.
Perhaps one can achieve a spiritual breakthrough in the so-called mind space and reach a state that is unattainable in the real world... It is equivalent to an alternative way of testing one's inner potential.
No wonder Professor Chamberson suggested that I take part in it. This purely spiritual test can indeed be seen as a special experience.
By the way, my basic attributes of coordination and perception are only 3, I don’t know which one I will choose to test... I hope it will be perception, because the main attribute related to the gun Edmund gave me is perception.
Furthermore, the "black umbilical cord" as a relic is also related to induction. 』
While Yi Chen was thinking, three students were called forward.
The principal slowly raised her hand, stretched out her fair, soft palm, and touched the students' eyebrows with her index finger.
At the moment of touch, his eyes lost focus and slowly closed.
Their bodies were immediately wrapped in a star curtain and gradually floated into the air.
The floating height is related to the depth of their consciousness. Some are only half a meter off the ground, while others can float over people's heads.
However, this depth of consciousness will not affect the test too much under the coordination of the principal. As long as you can find the "exit" set by the principal in the thinking space, you can wake up normally.
Three minutes goes by quickly.
However, there was only one gentleman who woke up normally.
As soon as the test started, two gentlemen were declared to have failed, and the atmosphere immediately became solemn.
Generally speaking, the passing rate of the academic year assessment is above 80%. Its core purpose is to screen out those gentlemen who are maliciously slacking off and have no ambition to make progress.
After all, most of the newcomers who come to Zion are still very competitive, at least in the first two years, and will try to break through their limits.
The two students who have failed now have also worked very hard. They have been trying their best to improve themselves throughout the year. The tasks they accepted in the Gentlemen's Hall were of medium difficulty and met the standards. They have also experienced life-and-death moments.
But they failed the principal's test.
At this moment, a very gentle voice came from under the crying mask, and this voice alone was enough to soothe the hearts of the two.
"I'm sorry, but you haven't been able to face your weakest side mentally, and I can't see your potential.
The college is currently facing financial constraints and limited resources, so your training will end ahead of schedule.
You can choose to stay in school at your own expense, or you can go through the departure procedures directly after the test is over... Of course, I personally recommend the latter. "
As soon as these words came out, there was silence.
When the two gentlemen who failed the test wanted to refute something,
The crying mask released an indescribable fear. When they looked at the mask, their souls began to tremble... The words of rebuttal were strangled in their throats, and they couldn't even breathe.
With a purple face, he quickly retreated to his seats on both sides, and then he slowly calmed down.
Yi Chen, who was sitting in the last row, was also somewhat confused about the situation in front of him, thinking: "Is this principal... so strict? It seems that there is a reason why Little Grape is hiding."
At this moment, there was a poking sensation in the waist and abdomen.
Yi Chen looked down and saw that it was a broken finger poking him gently and crawling up along his clothes.
The source of the severed finger was Zed.
Zed himself, however, stared ahead, pretending nothing had happened.
The severed finger crawled to Yi Chen's ear hole like a worm until it stuck to the eardrum, and had a private conversation with Yi Chen:
"Don't be fooled by this old woman's appearance! She is quite dangerous. Because of her presence, there is basically no ungentlemanly behavior in the academy.
Even if Zion’s top brass want to interfere with the authority within the hospital, they must get her consent.
When she brought a group of surgeons to hunt me down, she almost poured out my brains to clean her mask.
Be sure to pay attention to etiquette when it is your turn later. Since you came in during sleep, the principal will definitely remember this and will most likely target you specifically.
And because of my personal reasons, she may also transfer her hatred towards me to you. 』
Hearing what Zed said, Yi Chen's face twisted into a ball, but he eventually swallowed the complaints back into his body.
It didn't matter to Yichen, as long as he tried his best to pass the test. If he was really targeted and couldn't pass, the worst that could happen was that he would go to school at his own expense.
Without thinking any more, I continued watching other students' tests.
As batches of students came forward, the pass rate still did not exceed 50%.
Moreover, Yi Chen's name was not called for a long time, as if he wanted to leave him for last.
"Edmund, Juliana, Dagobert."
The familiar three-person team was called up by the principal at the same time, and Yi Chen was also sweating.
The principal seemed to see something different in the three people and commented softly:
"Hmm~ There's not much impurity in your eyes, and your profile is good too. You work very hard and are quite talented... Let me see how you perform."
They touched their foreheads and the three of them floated up.
Edmund and Dagobert's weaknesses are both intelligence, while Juliana's weakness is perception.
Time passes by,
Yi Chen counted the time silently in his mind, hoping that one of them could wake up early.
“57, 58, 59!”
When counting to this second,
Floating several meters in the air, Juliana opened her eyes and suddenly fell down.
Since she was still in the recovery period and could only do simple walking, such a fall might cause secondary injuries... Yi Chen instinctively stepped out of the desk, wanting to hug her in mid-air.
Zed grabbed his wrist and forcibly stopped him from doing this.
Buzz!
Juliana did not fall, but hovered in the air a second before landing and floated towards the principal's position.
“You’re the first student to wake up within a minute!
It seems that you have used the opportunity of your physical damage to carry out very effective 'spiritual training', very good! This is your reward."
The black wings behind the principal trembled slightly, and a single feather fell.
It slowly floated on Juliana's thighs, and then turned into starry night spots and immersed in it.
"Your recovery requires perseverance and opportunity. I have given you the "opportunity"... The rest of the recovery work depends on your own perseverance."
The principal even touched her head with great satisfaction.
After a while, Edmund and Dagobert also passed the test and landed normally.
When the three of them returned to their seats, they also glanced at Yi Chen, and Edmund even secretly made an OK gesture.
Testing continues.
There are 40 test participants, and according to the test mode of three people in a group, there is exactly one person left.
"William Behrens."
When Yi Chen's name was read out, the Crying Mask also looked over at the same time. The principal watched Yi Chen walk from the last row to the podium.
Without asking any questions, his finger suddenly poked at Yi Chen's forehead!
Buzz!
Yi Chen was very familiar with this feeling of consciousness being withdrawn. He found the feeling and landed steadily.
When I open my eyes again,
What came into view was the corridor of an art gallery, with dark paintings of various styles hung evenly on the walls, and white candles of different heights placed in the corners.
It was pouring rain outside the window.
Crackling~The raindrops hit the window heavily, the sound sounded very strange, and even caused some shallow cracks.
Crack! Suddenly, lightning flashed across the window, bringing an instant highlight.
It directly illuminated the multiple ghost shadows outside the window, which were using their fingers to knock on the glass windows in a rhythmic manner in coordination with the impact of raindrops.
