Chapter 64 Freshman Assessment, Dai Huabin is good again
Shrek Academy.

"Today's physical education class is suspended." Mu Jin stood behind the podium. The head teacher's face looked very serious at this moment. All the students sat straight and no one dared to move.

"Three months have passed since the beginning of school. You will also face the first assessment to enter Shrek Academy. Only if you pass the assessment can you officially become a first-year student and truly become a member of Shrek Academy. If nothing else happens, you will be able to continue to practice in the academy at least until the first-year graduation exam. The assessment will begin tomorrow, and today I will tell you the key points of the assessment."

Mu Jin's eyes swept across the 120 students below, and she was actually very satisfied.

The quality of this group of students may not be any better than that of previous students, but after three months of study, their willpower is definitely stronger than any class she has ever taught.

and……

Mu Jin's eyes softened a little, and she glanced at the door of Class 9: "Also, I have good news for you all, come in."

"Uh-huh~ Hi everyone, did you miss me?"

A familiar playful laugh sounded, Qian Mu poked his head out of the door and blinked.

"Squad leader, you're back!!"

All the students in Class 9 were surprised and warmly welcomed Qian Mu's return.

Mu Jin waved at her and signaled her to return to her seat: "Qian Mu's return proves that from now on, our freshman class nine has two Soul Master-level fighters. I have full confidence in you. For this, if all of you can advance, I will apply to the college for a reward for the whole class. Do you understand?"

"Great!" Almost all the students were full of fighting spirit and were yearning for the pie that Mu Jin had drawn.

"Qian Mu."

"Here." Qian Mu immediately stood up and answered obediently.

Mu Jin waved to her, and the latter hurried to the podium and took the stack of papers handed to her by the head teacher. Without Mu Jin's instructions, he quickly distributed them to every student in the class.

Mu Jin explained: "After the freshman assessment is over, we will teach students according to their aptitude. Write down the direction of your future cultivation and give it to me later."

The training directions of soul masters are classified into: strong attack, defense, control, and auxiliary. In the first three months of teaching, everyone can be together, but after starting the real first-year study, there will be some distinctions. After all, the training tendencies of different types of soul masters are very different.

Qian Mu returned to her seat and was the last one to start writing down her goal. As a Herrscher, she only needed to be a little perfunctory, so she wrote the control department.

Beside her, Qian Fei held a pen in her hand and subconsciously wanted to write "strong attack", but when she actually put pen to paper, she paused.

After much deliberation, Qian Fei finally chose to write down: Control Department.

Mu Jin looked around and added, "You are all students I taught. Although you will be re-assigned to new classes after the freshman assessment, I hope you will not forget what I taught you. Please hand in the papers after class. Now I will tell you the key points of the freshman assessment."

As he spoke, Mu Jin turned around, picked up the chalk, drew a few lines on the blackboard, and wrote the two simple words "actual combat" in the middle of the blackboard. "The core content of the freshman assessment is very simple, it is actual combat. And it is a battle that everyone must participate in. I know that there are auxiliary and food-type weapon spirit masters among you, but I am not wrong, you will indeed appear on the battlefield, just like the combat spirit masters. Although Shrek Academy cultivates comprehensive talents, the most important thing is the ability on the battlefield!"

"Of course, the academy will never let auxiliary weapon masters compete with offensive combat masters, so the assessment of freshmen will be conducted in the form of group battles. But the number of people will not be too large. The final decision for this year's group battle is to have three people in each group. This is a high standard for your age to have a certain degree of coordination ability. When dividing into groups, there can only be one offensive combat master at most. The other two team members can be randomly assigned. First, students in the same dormitory will be considered as one team, and the others will be freely grouped by you. Those who fail to complete the free grouping will be decided by drawing lots. I will give you a more reasonable plan for group division later."

"The freshman assessment will be conducted uniformly for the entire grade. Since our academy has had quite a number of students over the years, there are nearly 300 groups of students, or 900 people, participating this time. However, only half of them will be able to stay. The ranking is based on your points from the battle matches."

"The competition will be drawn by lot, and each group of students will have at least ten battles. In the end, they will be ranked according to the number of wins. Among them, the top 64 teams will participate in the elimination rounds, and the top four colleges in the elimination rounds will receive different rewards. The rewards for the champion team are also very rare."

The 118 students listened attentively. For them, the freshman assessment was the key to whether they could stay.

Once eliminated, they would have to go back to the next level academy and would probably never become the top powerhouses on the continent. They had worked hard for three months and no one wanted to be eliminated at this time.

Mu Jin was a little thirsty after speaking, so she replenished her water and continued to finish the last paragraph: "There are 120 people in our class nine, which are divided into 40 groups. Next, the people I call out, please stand up."

"Qian Mu, Qian Fei, Xiao Xiao."

Black and White Snow stood up almost at the same time. They had originally planned to be in the same group. Qian Fei had some impression of the third person that Mu Jin mentioned. She was the little girl who had talked to her sister when they were running laps before.

"Group 2: Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin, and Cui Yajie."

"The third group……"

Mu Jin quickly divided the groups and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it. If you have any opinions, please raise them quickly. I'll give you a day to think about it. After you hand in all the papers in your hands, you can go back to the dormitory to rest. No one is allowed to mess around today. The freshman assessment will start tomorrow. Don't forget, if everyone advances, Teacher Mu will have rewards."

After handing in the blank papers with their future cultivation preferences written on them, the other students walked out of the classroom and returned to their dormitories.

However, before leaving, Dai Huabin and the other two took a deep look at Qian Mu, who was slowly packing up his things, and a feeling of anger rose up inexplicably.

Why does she look so relaxed? Doesn't she take this test seriously? Or is she confident that she can win the championship?
But it seems that every time, Qian Mu wins the battle so calmly...

Dai Huabin couldn't help but grit his teeth again. At this moment, Zhu Lu beside him grabbed his hand.

"Hua Bin, don't lose heart... Maybe Qian Mu is stronger than all of us in a one-on-one fight, but this freshman assessment is about teamwork! No matter how strong she is, it will be useless without team awareness. Besides... I don't believe Qian Mu can handle our inherited trump card alone!"

Zhu Lu spoke softly, but her words were clear and logical, which made Dai Huabin calm down quickly.

"Yes... She is very strong, but this assessment is not a one-man show! Qian Mu... I am indeed no match for you alone, but the Nether White Tiger will definitely be able to take back the glory that belongs to us!!"
