Chapter 169 Six A's in Sub-categories
Lu Jing didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the middle-aged man with the square face looked at him with increasing satisfaction, as if he were admiring a world-renowned masterpiece of calligraphy and painting.
However, after that, the middle-aged man with the square face didn't engage in any more irrelevant chatter. He just glanced at Lu Jing, then picked up a stone tablet from his side and smiled gently.
"Let's first look at your assessment results. If you have any questions, you can ask them slowly later, or you can come to my residence for a detailed discussion."
As soon as he said this, on the other side of the room, a group of instructors looked at each other in dismay.
There were about twenty of them, mostly young and middle-aged, gathered around a washbasin, peering into the half-basin of clear water it contained.
The reflection in the clear water was exactly the scene inside the study where Lu Jing was.
At the same time, on the side of the washbasin, a yellow-glazed fish-shaped lamp had a copper fish in the middle whose mouth was opening and closing, uttering words that were exactly the same as what the middle-aged man with the square face had said earlier.
It was truly magical.
However, the people in this room were not early adopters of online streaming. They weren't watching the reflection in the basin instead of Lu Jing in person.
It was just that the academy had regulations stating that before the assessment results were released, no one except the supervisor in charge of statistics was allowed to contact the students privately.
Therefore, although the instructors were extremely curious about this mysterious student who had suddenly emerged on the Celestial Pivot List and broken the record for the longest stay in the Trial Realm, they could only take this approach to get a sneak peek at Lu Jing.
One of them couldn't help but say when he saw the middle-aged man with the square face smile at Lu Jing, "No way, Supervisor Huang is actually smiling? I've been at the academy for seven years, and I've never seen him smile at anyone."
The two sides argued endlessly for a while.
On the other side, the middle-aged man with the square face had already picked up the stone tablet and began to read.
"Lu Jing, from Wujiang, skilled in using the staff, nineteen years old, inner strength at the first-rate realm, family details unknown, origin unknown, recommended by—Kui. Any questions?"
Lu Jing shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with the previous information, as for my origin and family…"
"These don't necessarily have to be said," the middle-aged man with the square face said, stroking his beard.
"The academy has no intention of exploring the secrets behind each person. Compared to where you come from, we care more about what kind of person you want to become, and that is the true meaning of the assessment. Now, I will announce your assessment results."
As the middle-aged man with the square face spoke, his expression returned to seriousness, and he straightened his back.
"Lu Jing, this assessment… Grade A. You must have already expected this result, but I still want to congratulate you. You are the fifth Grade A among the four hundred or so people who participated in this assessment."
"Here are the details. Grade A in skill. You single-handedly eliminated more than three hundred sand warriors, and you also directly killed the half-possessed Tus. Even the official inspectors within the bureau may not be able to do this."
"In terms of skill, you and Yan Yun are undoubtedly the strongest two among these students. Moreover, even Yan Yun had no way to deal with the sand warriors in the ancient tomb in the end."
"Decision-making ability, Grade A. The increasingly fierce sandstorm did not affect your calm mind, nor did it disrupt your investigation plan."
"Whether it was Vulture or Yazdan, you dealt with them calmly. You found the mastermind behind the scenes in just eight days and killed Tus before he was completely possessed."
"You not only saved Marasar Khan, but also took the trouble to clear all the sand warriors in the ancient tomb and destroy the black heart, completely eliminating the possibility of danger recurring."
"Adaptability, Grade A. After realizing that Sarah was unwilling to share information about Nikaal, you were still able to find a way to resolve the crisis. You maintained control of the overall situation from beginning to end. No matter which way things developed, you were able to respond quickly."
"Analytical and observational skills, Grade A. You were able to notice the names on the murals, expose Vulture's disguise, and also notice the anomalies of the registrar, physician, and others, and then infer the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes from them."
"All of this allowed you to finally achieve Grade A in investigation progress, becoming one of the only two students who stopped the disaster and successfully saved Marasar Khan. Moreover, you were the only one who truly destroyed the black heart, and therefore obtained the opportunity hidden behind this test question."
Although the middle-aged man with the square face tried his best to maintain his majesty, the admiration in his voice became increasingly difficult to conceal.
"Your performance in the Trial Realm is impeccable. No, it should be said that it has exceeded everyone's expectations. But what surprised me the most is the character and temperament you have shown during this period."
"From beginning to end, you have placed chivalry first, rushing to help others in need, even at the cost of sacrificing yourself, using yourself as bait to attract those sand warriors and protect the people in the city. In the end, you even risked your life to clear all the sand warriors and completely destroy the black heart."
"Therefore, in this most important category, your grade is also Grade A. Moreover, the reason why you are Grade A is because the upper limit of this grade is only Grade A. In fact, the Trial Realm also suggested raising your overall grade by one level."
"Unfortunately, your overall grade of Grade A can no longer be raised. Moreover, the Grade A in all six sub-categories has only appeared three times in the history of the academy, and one of the predecessors has already passed away."
The middle-aged man with the square face looked at Lu Jing with bright eyes, no longer concealing the admiration in his eyes.
However, the more Lu Jing listened, the more guilty he felt. He knew his own situation and knew that his grades were largely inflated.
Especially the first few items were okay, but on the last item of character, he was not chivalrous at all, but purely obsessed with solving his excess internal energy.
However, considering the reputation and fame he had accidentally built up in Wujiang City before, Lu Jing felt that even if he wanted to explain, few people would be willing to listen.
