The two found a corner to sit down. Anna thought about Leon and asked: “By the way, Natalie, do you know Leon Freeman?”
Natalie nodded: “I do, he’s teaching your introductory course? You are so lucky!”
Anna smiled and said, “He teaches very well. I really am lucky to have such a teacher.”
“He‘s studious, handsome, and is a viscount. He is very popular among low-level mages.” Natalie said, tugging at Anna’s sleeve and said, “He already has a fiancée, you can’t fall in love with him.”
Anna really wanted to roll her eyes. Did she look like someone who would fall in love with anyone?
“I like his class, not his person, so don’t worry.” Anna picked up a piece of white bread and took a bite. In fact, in her heart, she was yearning for rice, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Besides, she had nowhere to find a rice paddy, so she could only think about it with tears in her eyes.
Natalie nodded and said pretentiously: “That’s good, otherwise you definitely would be heartbroken; I don’t think you’d want to be someone else’s lover, anyway.”
“Yeah, I really don’t want to.” Anna knocked on the table, “What about your seven assessment results?”
Natalie’s face changed drastically: “What’s the matter, aren’t we talking about lovers?”
“I knew it, you’ve been prolonging the time.” Anna shrugged, “What’s the point in delaying? Anyway, you still have to show it to me in the end.”
Natalie’s face was gray, and after dilly dallying, she took out a piece of paper with delicate handwriting on it.
Anna received it and glanced at it and smiled: “You wrote this yourself? Memory’s not half bad.”
Natalie remembered all seven of the examination results without missing anything.
Natalie drooped her face and said, “Every failure is painful. How could I forget?”
The promotion assessment was divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical scores were scored, but they would eventually be graded as either excellent, medium, qualified, or unqualified. The full score was 100, less than 60 was unqualified, and 80 or more was considered moderate. More than ninety-five was considered excellent. There were three practical topics, including mental power, pharmacy, and actual combat. There were no scores and only four grades of results. Only when all grades were passing and above could it be considered as passing the promotion assessment.
Anna looked at Natalie’s seven assessment results and found that the scores weren’t improving, but rather jumping around. The first time, she passed in theory and mental power, and failed in medicine and actual combat; and the second time she only passed in mental power.
In the seventh test, Natalie passed again in theory and mental power, but failed in medicine and actual combat.
“Your theory and mental power are still satisfactory. The disqualification should be related to your on-the-spot performance. In the next two months, focus on training your on-the-spot performance.” Anna carefully analyzed, “You’ve never passed in actual combat. Do you usually not practice with others? You’ve passed medicine twice and failed five times. It seems that passing medicine is due in part to luck.”
After listening to Anna’s analysis, Natalie covered her mouth in surprise: “Anna, I almost suspect that you peeked at my exam! I didn’t do well on theory because I was too nervous the day before and didn’t sleep well. The answers were clearly in my mind, but I couldn’t recall them. So I also failed on the mental power section that time. The two times I passed medicine was because I just happened to have practiced it the day before. As for actual combat.……my legs become weak and my mind goes blank the minute I stand on the martial arts field!”
Anna looked at Natalie’s face which brought her a feeling of seeing a familiar face in a foreign land. She reached out and touched her head, and said in a pitying manner: “In the next two months, I will help you.”
Natalie didn’t know that Anna was pitying her for the “cruel exam preparation life” in the next two months. She thought that Anna was pitying her for failing the exam seven times. The circles of her eyes instantly reddened, and she whimpered a few times, her head rubbing against Anna’s palm.”Anna, you are so kind, I am about to fall in love with you!”
Anna quickly retracted her hand and said, “I haven’t passed the promotion assessment. As an experienced person, first tell me the specific contents of the assessment.”
Natalie remembered that Anna had just said confidently that she would help herself in the next two months, but in fact Anna didn’t even know the content of the assessment herself, and suddenly felt not very optimistic about her next assessment.
But she kept forgetting that Anna was a mage’s disciple, the same as her, and she had only been a mage’s disciple for a day. She felt that Anna had a very special confidence in her body, which made her believe in Anna involuntarily.
Natalie knocked her head, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly under Anna’s surprised gaze. She stopped thinking these random thoughts, and said seriously: “Different levels of promotion examinations test theoretical investigation in varying scopes. Corresponding books can be found in the library. There are not many books that a one-star wizard needs to read. The mental power section is to examine your mental power and strength. Normally, the assessment teacher will have you use your mental power to construct some simple spell circuits and give you a score based on the speed and quality of completion The potion section is to investigate the mastery of potions. It must be prepared on the spot; the evaluation standard is based on whether the preparation is successful or not, and the effect of the prepared potion. The actual combat section is the inspection of comprehensive ability. The mage’s disciples who are participating in the promotion assessment will fight 1v1. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. The assessment teacher grades based on your performance during combat. ”
After all, she was an old candidate who had participated in seven promotion assessments. Natalie spoke very knowledgeably on the subject.
“Understood, I will first formulate a special training plan, and we will start after I have finished the introductory guidance class.” Anna nodded, “By the way, how often does the proton assessment take place?”
“One-star and two-star promotion assessments occur every six months, and three-star promotions occur once a year. These assessment times will be staggered. However, the promotions for four-star and five-star mages take place in the capital, and most of the five-star mages will stay in the capital, but our association has never produced a five-star mage.”
Natalie was very calm when she said this. For her, there was no fantasy of being promoted to a two-star. All she wanted was to be upgraded to a one-star mage. Once she became a baroness, she wouldn’t have to be forced into marriage by her father.
