Though neither long nor short, three months was the longest time that Meng Lei had spent after arriving at Heaven's Vault Continent!
Over the last three months, Meng Lei had familiarized himself with everything about the academy—his classmates, teachers, classrooms, and library. He had become extremely familiar with everything!
During these three months at the Fire Dragon Academy of Magic, he seemed to have returned to his university years, comfortable, peaceful, and carefree!
There's no need to worry about making a living!
No need to endure the antics of his boss!
No need to work late into the night!
The only thing he had to do was to study, learn about spells, accumulate magic power, and raise his spiritual power!
Each day was busy but fulfilling!
Meng Lei cherished this kind of life and seized every possible opportunity to strengthen himself and his abilities!
Within these three months, his various attributes had undergone earth-shaking changes, and tomorrow was the time to assess these!
...
Meng Lei got up early and went to Training Ground No. 11 with Hart and Daniel. When passing through other training grounds, they saw that they were already filled to the brim!
The mid-term examinations were also taking place for students of other grades!
The teachers' rebukes, the students' excuses, the explosions of magic... all kinds of sounds were mixed together, resonating around the training grounds and making people feel nervous!
Hart wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, shivering, "I heard that those who fail the mid-term examination would receive severe sanctions. I wonder how they will punish us!"
"You are still worried over that?" Daniel raised his eyebrows and teased laughingly."Haven't you been working hard over the last few months? Wouldn't it be easy to pass this mid-term examination?"
"How can it be so simple? The academy seems to be lax on the outside but intense on the inside. On ordinary days, they don't usually restrict us, letting us allocate our time freely and learn independently!"
Hart had a pained expression as he continued."But when it comes to examinations, the standards are extremely strict and high. I heard from a second-year senior that only six people successfully met the standard for their class mid-term examination last year. The rest failed!"
"What the hell! So strict?" Daniel got a fright too!
"Six people made it?" Meng Lei was stunned."In that case, more than 40 people failed?"
"That's right, 44 people!" Hart nodded rapidly."I heard from the senior that our academy attaches great importance to examinations and is very strict in this aspect. If the teacher dares to lower the difficulty, it is not as simple as deducting wages and bonuses. He or she could even get fired!"
"Oh my dragon god! This is too terrifying!"
Daniel also became nervous!
"So, don't think that you can pass the examination easily even if you work hard!" Hart shook his head."You should know what will happen if you fail the examination three times in a row!"
Daniel's face turned pale. The academy rules stated that those who failed three consecutive examinations would be expelled immediately!
"Ugh, I hope I can pass!"
They nervously reached Training Ground No. 11. Basically, all the first-year classmates were here. They arrived separately in their own groups, talking in a low voice!
After waiting for about ten minutes, the teachers arrived at Training Ground No. 11!
"Mr. Horatio!"
"Mr. Wendy!"
"Mr. Nader!"
"..."
As soon as they saw the teachers, the students' private discussions gradually stopped, leaving only nervous and awe-inspiring faces. Meng Lei stood in the corner and watched quietly!
The mid-term examination was conducted together for the entire first-year cohort, which meant apart from their class, Class 2 was there as well. No more, no less, just 98 freshmen!
As for the examiners, there were the teachers of the 10 elements of magic, with 10 in Class 1 and 10 in Class 2, totaling 20!
In addition, there were two head teachers!
The little fatty stood before Meng Lei and muttered in a low voice, "Oh my dragon god! Even our head teacher is here. What the hell? It has been three months since we enrolled in school. This is the first time I have seen the head teacher!"
Obviously, after seeing the head teacher, he became more nervous!
"I heard that our head teacher is the department head. I didn't expect that he would show up for this mid-term examination. This is unexpected!" Daniel also stared at the head teacher!
"It seems that the academy really attaches great importance to the mid-term examination!"
Meng Lei nodded slightly. During his university days in his previous life, whether it was a mid-term exam or a final exam, they were usually low-key and totally different from what they were currently experiencing.
"Is everyone here?"
One after another, the 22 teachers got ready. Class 2's head teacher, Baldi Tylon, spoke first. He was a typical Dragon Man, with a single horn, wings on his back, burly, and unusually strong. The moment he sat down, he created a tremendous amount of invisible pressure on people!
In contrast, Class 1's head teacher was much more ordinary. He was a human skinny old man with a haggard face and trembling body, looking like he could be blown away by a gust of wind!
The Class 2's class guide said respectfully, "Mr. Baldi, everyone from Class 2 is here!"
"What about class 1?"
Class 1's head teacher, Dirk Norway, looked at his class guide, Senior Sister Jenny.
Senior Sister Jenny replied respectfully, "All here, Mr. Dirk!"
"Since everyone is here, we shall begin. Class 1 shall start first!"
"Sure!"
Senior Sister Jenny responded and took out a list that was prepared beforehand. She then said loudly, "The first-year mid-term examination has officially started. The examination is divided into three parts!"
All students pricked their ears and listened attentively!
"Part One: Assessment of spiritual power!"
"Part Two: Assessment of magic power reserve!"
"Part Three: Release of magic!"
"Whoever's name is called, shall go first!"
"First: Larry Billy!"
Upon hearing this name, the two head teachers and 20 teachers looked at the list in their hands at the same time. The first name was Larry Billy!
"Student Larry, let's assess your spiritual power first. I don't need to explain the method, right?"
"I know what to do, senior sister!"
Larry Billy was Dragon Person youth. Although he was only 14 years old, he was very burly. His height of 1. 8 meters and the pair of red dragon horns on his forehead displayed his identity—he was a Dragon Man who possessed the bloodline of the Fire Colossal Dragon!
It was worth mentioning that the Fire Colossal Dragon was a royal of the Fire Dragon Kingdom!
Larry Billy walked to the gigantic spiritual tester, and his gaze fell on the red button.
Swish—
The red line inside the spiritual tester rose rapidly and finally stopped on at a particular level!
"Spiritual power: 50 times that of same-age peers! 50 points!"
Senior Sister Jenny looked at the spiritual tester and read out Larry Billy's results!
Upon hearing this score, Class 1's head teacher, Dirk Norway, frowned. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke."When you first entered school, your spiritual power was 48 times that of your peers or 48 points. Why has it only improved by 2 points over the past three months?"
After saying this, his gaze fell on Larry Billy. He then said plainly, "Student Larry, can you explain what you have been doing for the past three months?"
"Teacher, I..."
Larry Billy flushed and kept quiet for a long time. What had he been doing? Of course, he had been focusing on other things. He had been playing a lot in the past few months after entering the academy!
"Spiritual power, even if you don't practice, it will increase with time. Three months is enough to increase your spiritual power by more than 2 points!" Dirk Norway said coldly, "It means that you have basically not practiced in the past three months and have completely indulged yourself. Larry, this type of attitude is not good!"
"Teacher, I—"
"You don't have to participate in the remaining two assessments. You have... failed. Go back and practice hard!"
"Next!"
