Huo Yuhao also looked at the students in other classes, but that aura was nowhere to be seen. Bei Bei had said that although Chu Yi was strict, if one could persevere to the end, they would definitely become an excellent disciple and a true powerhouse in the future.
Chu Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and waved her hand. Huo Yuhao quickly stepped forward to take a stack of papers from Chu Yi's hand. Without waiting for her to speak, he went down to distribute them to the students.
Chu Yi said:
"After the new student assessment concludes, everyone will be guided in their cultivation according to their individual talents. All of you, write down your cultivation direction and submit it to me."
The cultivation directions she spoke of were the different types of Soul Masters, such as: attack, defense, control, and support. For the first three months, everyone will study together, but starting in the first year, you will be divided. Soul Masters cultivating in different directions naturally cannot study together.
Huo Yuhao returned to his seat and wrote down his direction: Control-type Battle Soul Master, then signed his name.
But he noticed that Wang Dong, who was next to him, only started writing down his own direction after seeing what Huo Yuhao had written.
Chu Yi said:
"You are all my disciples. Although you will be divided after the assessment, I hope you will not forget these three months. Next, I will begin to discuss some important points regarding the assessment."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yi turned around and began writing on the blackboard. In the center of the blackboard, two characters appeared: Combat!
"That's right, combat. This assessment is about combat, and furthermore, everyone must engage in combat. Don't rush to ask questions. Are Plant-type or support-type Soul Masters finding this strange? I am not mistaken. You too must enter the battlefield like other Battle Soul Masters. Although Shrek Academy cultivates talents in many different aspects, the most important is still combat ability."
"I mentioned at the start of the semester that since the appearance of Soul Tools, the distinction between different Soul Masters has become quite blurred. Whether you are a Support-type Soul Master or a Plant-type Tool Soul Master, all of you can fight with the help of Soul Tools. But the most important thing is still combat instinct. Where does this instinct come from? Without combat instinct, can a Soul Master simply bring Soul Tools to the battlefield and foolishly fight, expecting to survive? Of course not. Combat ability is formed through the process of combat. Therefore, in this assessment, you must engage in combat to enhance your future survival capabilities."
"Of course, the academy will not pit support-type Tool Soul Masters against Battle Soul Masters; that would be truly unfair. Therefore, this assessment will be conducted in groups. Naturally, the number of groups won't be too large. Each team will have three members, and everyone must coordinate smoothly with each other. The requirement is very simple: each team can only have one Battle Soul Master, and the other two members can be of any type. First, students sharing a room will form a group. If there aren't enough, you can form teams freely. Finally, the remaining individuals will draw lots. Don't speak up yet. I have already formed appropriate groups based on your abilities."
"The new student assessment will be conducted simultaneously because the number of disciples joining the academy has been considerable in recent years. There are a total of over three hundred student groups participating, but only half will be able to remain. Your ranking will be based on your performance and combat methods."
– Matches will be decided by drawing lots. Each team must play ten matches, and ranks will be determined by the number of wins, draws, and losses. The top sixty-four teams will receive rewards, with the first-place team getting a special prize.
Everyone listened intently. For them, this assessment was a lifelong opportunity for advancement. If they failed, they would only be able to find another academy and would never become a renowned powerful expert on the continent. They had worked hard for three arduous months; no one wanted to be left behind.
Chu Y continued:
– Our class has sixty-seven people, which can be divided into twenty-two teams, with one person remaining. I have classified, analyzed, and grouped everyone based on the characteristics of their Martial Souls. If anyone feels the arrangement is unsuitable, they can change it freely when they return. But tomorrow morning, if no one has any objections, everyone will follow my arrangements. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourselves!
– Song Qinghan.
Chu Y said in a deep voice.
– Present!
A small, thin student stood up. He was originally the least noticed person in the class, so he hadn't expected to be called first.
Chu Y said:
– Each freshman class can specially recommend one student to enter the academy directly without an assessment. After a period of observation, I believe you are very suitable for cultivating in the Soul Engineering System. Now you have two choices: one is to agree, the other is to leave!
Overbearing, truly incredibly overbearing. All the students’ gazes landed on Song Qinghan.
– This student agrees, thank you, Teacher!
Song Qinghan didn't object at all; in fact, he was extremely excited. His goal when entering Shrek Academy had always been the Soul Engineering System.
Chu Y waved her hand, telling him to sit down:
– Next, we will begin grouping. First team: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood up almost simultaneously. Hearing Chu Y group them together, the two immediately exchanged glances, their faces filled with joy.
Another female student stood up with them. She was petite and delicate, much like Song Qinghan, not particularly noticed by others, and her abilities were above average.
Although the girl wasn't exceptionally beautiful, her face was delicate and pleasant to look at. She turned back with a hint of shyness on her face, her eyes met Wang Dong's, and she immediately blushed and lowered her head…
– Second team: Zi Hao, Ma Qingshuang, Leng Leng.
– Third team…
Although Chu Y was extremely cold, after the teams were assigned, the students felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
As Huo Yuhao observed, he couldn't help but admire Chu Y. This cold teacher, though usually strict, cared deeply for her students. She clearly understood each person's strengths and weaknesses, and this method of grouping was truly very reasonable.
