Zhang Xiaohou glanced at Xu Musheng, and then took one glance at the Practical Teacher, Tangyue.
“Do your best, teacher believes in you.” The one who said this was the Practical teacher, Tangyue.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded as he walked to the side of the Star Appraisal Stone.
Closing his eyes, Zhang Xiaohou adjusted his breathing and slowly entered a meditative state.
The radiance emitted from the Star Appraisal Stone flickered; it followed Zhang Xiaohou’s breath as it brightened and dimmed. It was easy to tell that Zhang Xiaohou was slightly nervous, which explained why the Star Appraisal Stone was unable to grasp the energy from his stardust.
However, Zhang Xiaohou slowly entered the meditative state.
At last, the radiance stabilized. The cyan colored radiance from the Wind Element covered the surroundings of the Star Appraisal Stone, and the radiance was superior to He Yu’s. Other than being a bit unstable, there was no other fuss about it.
“A！”
“A！”
“A+！”
The three examiners seemed to have different views regarding it.
“Teacher, let me try one more time.”
Zhang Xiaohou didn’t seem pleased with this result; thus, he once more entered a meditative state.
This time, he was considerably calmer.
The intense radiance covered the Star Appraisal Stone’s surroundings; it was apparent that it was much stronger than He Yu’s. Additionally, there didn’t appear to be any unstable flickering from it anymore.
The three examiners glanced at each other and nodded.
“A+”
“A+”
“A+”
“Final results, A+!”
After they announced the results, the students of his class all showed shock and envy.
“Crap, A+! That’s a grade that secures your place in the Elite Class! This kid, Zhang Xiaohou's lifestyle, is just mediocre, so who would’ve thought that his cultivation would be so amazing? We were mistaken; we really were mistaken.”
“That’s really amazing! If I could get A+, then my dad would immediately gift me a car!”
Xue Musheng and Tangyue, the two teachers, gave a slight smile as they nodded their heads. Their eyes were filled with praise.
Zhang Xiaohou had always been an outstanding student to them, thus, having this kind of result was well within reason.
“Classmate, you’re done. We will assess accordingly…” the bald examiner was about to announce the final result.
“Teacher, I’d like to attempt the next test,” at this moment, Zhang Xiaohou’s expression was firm, but his face showed a shyness as he said this.
“Are you sure?” the examiner asked, a bit surprised.
“I know that the higher you place in the rankings during the Annual Examination, then the longer you will get to use the Stardust Magic Tool. Thus, I’d like to take the Activation test,” Zhang Xiaohou said with certainty.
Xue Musheng and Tangyue maintained the smiles on their faces. They already knew that Zhang Xiaohou had reached the level of Activation.
The examination consisted of two parts.
The first part was the Stardust test.
The majority of the students only needed to complete this part to continue to study magic at Magic High.
While the second part was set up for the top students, out of over one thousand students, there were roughly only a hundred or so who had touched upon the level of Activation.
If one can activate the elemental skill during the examination, then naturally they would be awarded more points for the Annual Examination.
To obtain more of the limited resources from the school, the students would have to display all of their powers during the Annual Examination, without hiding anything.
……
Zhang Xiaohou’s Activation test didn’t go particularly smoothly. He was so nervous that he was unable to properly link the seven Wind Element stars with each other to form a Star Path.
However, the examiners were able to see that this student was capable of Activation, but due to being nervous on the testing grounds he was unable to activate successfully. However, they still gave him some points based on his performance.
