"Testing, registration? Don’t tell we’re having a mock exam on the first day?" Instantly, confused voices filled the classroom. Everyone was bewildered, clearly not understanding what kind of test or important procedure would require such a big fuss.
"A test on the first day of school? This isn’t a real placent test, is it? There’s no need for this."
Su Zhou, who was for once diligently studying a book, also couldn’t make heads or tails of it. He didn’t actually dislike tests; to him, tests were like fighting a boss in a video ga, providing a thrilling sense of challenge. What he disliked were the mountains of howork, which were like the tedious but necessary daily quests in a ga.
Of course, he was also well aware: without daily quests, where would you get the resources to challenge the boss? Although it was just an analogy, the general idea was the sa.
Based on the available information, this sudden test and registration was only for third-year students, so it was probably related to the Holy Ascension Selection Test.
After the announcent had echoed three tis, their horoom teacher, looking like she had just co from a eting, rushed in carrying a stack of docunts.
"Sorry, everyone. The Bureau of Education has issued an urgent notice. There’s news about this year’s brand-new Holy Ascension Selection Test that all students need to be inford of..."
"The test? The test isn’t difficult. It’s mostly multiple-choice questions about psychological tendencies, along with so open-ended questions. Professional professors will be here to provide guidance, so it’s not a mock exam. Don’t worry."
Su Zhou’s horoom teacher, Teacher Li, was an older, veteran teacher. Her salt-and-pepper hair was always neatly styled, and she carried herself with a calm, composed deanor.
But today, her expression seed quite tense. As she looked at the students in her class, her eyes held a mix of joy and worry. "In any case, just remain calm. Rember not to lie. Do your best to follow your heart and choose the options you truly want to choose."
Hearing this, the entire class naturally began to line up by student ID number to head to the auditorium. But just as Su Zhou was about to join the line, Teacher Li specifically called him aside.
"Su Zhou, co here for a mont."
"What is it, Teacher Li?" Su Zhou glanced at Shao Qiming, who wasn’t far away. He saw his friend, who was usually incredibly well-inford, shake his head, equally unsure what was going on that required Su Zhou to be singled out.
Since that was the case, he got up and walked over. Su Zhou had wanted to ask what was going on, but then he heard his horoom teacher turn to the line and say, "Everyone, follow Teacher Liu from Class Two to the auditorium. Class president, you lead the way, just like usual!"
Then, Teacher Li turned directly to Su Zhou. She looked at this ’forr athlete’ whose grades had shot up recently and whose Spirit Talent was also exceptionally outstanding, and couldn’t help but chuckle. "As for you, you’re coming with to the principal’s office."
"The leaders from the Bureau of Education are there too. They’re all waiting for you."
"The principal? Leaders from the Bureau of Education? Why would people like that want to see ?"
If you don’t know, just ask. On the way to the principal’s office with his horoom teacher, Su Zhou, his head full of questions, asked directly. That was just his personality—if there was soone to ask, he’d ask, unless he had his phone on him and could just Baidu it.
"It’s about the Cultivation Academies and the Transcendent assessnts."
Teacher Li was used to this student’s straightforward personality. In the past, while Su Zhou’s grades were certainly not among the best, with Shao Qiming’s help, they were at least stable and in the middle of the pack.
Besides, compared to other middle-of-the-pack students who were a cause for concern, Su Zhou at least had a physical advantage. Everyone felt that if Su Zhou wanted to, he could participate in the middle school sports et at any ti and bring back a few championships. With that, plus his already not-so-bad grades, getting into World Academy was well within reach.
On top of that, Su Zhou was cheerful and friendly, had a wide circle of friends, and his Emotional Quotient wasn’t bad either.
But she never expected that after the Spiritual Energy Revival, this student of hers would shine even more brightly, attracting frequent visits and observations from various leaders and even professors from the major academies.
Thinking of this, Teacher Li explained a bit more, "It’s roughly like this, Su Zhou. With the advent of the Spiritual Energy Revival, the opening of the three A Class Extraordinary Academies, and the start of Spiritual Energy Classes in the major academies, the process for the Holy Ascension Selection Test has changed sowhat. After the general knowledge assessnt, a Spiritual Qi-related assessnt has been added."
"However, considering that not all students possess Cultivation Talent or have had an Awakening of special abilities, the Spiritual Qi assessnt will only be open to a portion of students who apply for it."
"What’s happening today in the auditorium is the very first qualifying assessnt. It’s mainly to test for any problems with your thinking or worldview, and to see if there are any latent psychological issues. According to the professors, the most important thing for a Transcendent, aside from power, is a healthy mindset and attitude toward life."
At this point, Teacher Li sighed with emotion. "Actually, it’s not just for Transcendent. It’s the sa for ordinary people... Grades and knowledge are important, but knowing how to be a good person is also important. It’s just that before the Spiritual Energy Revival, no one ever specifically tested for this sort of thing."
After listening, Su Zhou nodded thoughtfully. But he quickly asked, looking puzzled, "But Teacher Li, in that case, wouldn’t everyone just choose the ’be kind to others’ options? They’d answer in a way that shows a proper worldview and a good attitude. Even a truly bad person would never tell the truth in that situation."
