Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Character Assessment
Translator: 549690339
“Character” assessment was held at Lotus University’s sports field.
As the examinees arrived at the field one after another, many seniors and senior sisters from Lotus who wanted to enjoy the show also came to this place.
The sports field was surrounded by tall stands, a natural and convenient place for spectators to enjoy the fun.
Apart from those students who bore a game-like attitude, the organizers of the exam appeared much more serious, professional, and earnest.
Lotus University conference center, meeting room number three.
This meeting room wasn’t large, suitable for about ten people.
In meeting room number three sat five teachers from the Treasure and Talismans Academy, Talisman Department.
These five were responsible for grading all the freshmen who were preparing to take the Talisman Department’s entrance exam; they would ultimately decide which of these applicants could enter Lotus Cloud University and who would pack up their belongings and retake a year at home.
In front of the five teachers was a projection screen showing live images of the examination field.
This projection technology was developed by the Array Academy of Lotus University, called the “Shadow Capture Array.”
This array required prior deployment to achieve high-definition picture transfer over short distances.
Nearly a hundred teachers in more than a dozen conference rooms at the Lotus University conference center all relied on this array to view the students’ performances as their basis for scoring.
“This year’s ‘Character’ assessment question is quite interesting.”
In the process of waiting for the exam to begin, a teacher from the Talisman Department started a conversation to relieve the boredom.
“Indeed. If I remember correctly, this year’s theme is ‘gratitude,’ right?”
“Character assessment questions are generally the simplest, yet the most difficult. For normal people, as long as they make the usual choices, getting a passing score is not hard at all. But for those with flawed personalities, this test is too difficult. Whatever they do, it’s wrong.”
“By the way, what’s the specific topic for this year? Does anyone remember?”
“During the exam, there will be a broadcast to remind the examinees. But I can tell you in advance, it’s an ethical question.”
“Ethical?”
“Simply put, if your beloved and your mother both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?”
As soon as the topic was mentioned, a cheerful atmosphere suddenly filled meeting room number three.
To be honest, this group of teachers was also quite looking forward to seeing what choices the students would make.
It felt like whatever choice was made, it would be full of spectacle.
Entrance to the Lotus Cloud University sports field.
A female cultivator clad in sportswear, with her hair tied high in a ponytail, was looking around.
The soft morning sunlight shone on her delicate face and her tall, curvy figure, creating an instantly captivating and youthful landscape.
It made many of the passing male and female cultivators take a second glance.
This very eye-catching female cultivator was none other than the second-year student from Lotus University’s Talisman Department, the Department Beauty, a newly promoted second-grade Talisman Master, important partner and daughter of Jiang Cheng, Yue Linger.
Yue Linger’s presence boosted the morale of many freshmen in the examination field.
After all, in a university, teaching quality, faculty strength, facilities, and advancement rates are all abstract. Only a beautiful senior sister is the real deal.
Yue Linger couldn’t find the person she was waiting for, so she took out a communication talisman and urged them again, which finally brought another equally beautiful female cultivator hurrying over.
“I’m here, I’m here, Linger, I’m here.”
Cheng Bingxin, rushed out of the dormitory at Yue Linger’s urging and affectionately hugged her arm upon seeing her.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Linger.”
Yue Linger had no choice but to reply, “Let’s go, the exam is about to start.”
Seeing Yue Linger’s perfunctory attitude, Cheng Bingxin was suddenly dissatisfied and said, “Linger, you were the one who said there were handsome junior brothers to see, which is why I took so long to pick out my clothes.”
Yue Linger held her forehead, “I never said that. It was clearly I who wanted to come by myself, and you insisted on following.”
“What, aren’t handsome junior brothers just for you to admire? Can’t I?” Cheng Bingxin’s hand, which was holding Yue Linger’s arm, deliberately rubbed against Yue Linger’s chest as she said, “Big beauty, lacking confidence? Afraid you can’t compete with me?”
Teased by Cheng Bingxin like this, Yue Linger couldn’t help but involuntarily picture Jiang Cheng before her eyes.
Her pretty face immediately took on a hint of pink.
Discussing this topic with her bestie any further wouldn’t do, so Yue Linger turned her face away and said, “There are empty seats over there; let’s go sit there. Move quickly.”
Cheng Bingxin was pulled along by Yue Linger, but her thoughts were not on walking at all.
Yue Linger’s behavior was a bit strange just now. Because normally, jokes like “handsome junior” were commonplace between them.
Just like how a true lecher dares to face baseless slander. Gossip and slander can’t hurt his noble pleasure.
Yet just now, Yue Linger purposely shifted the topic and even turned her face away, as if she couldn’t take a joke.
Could it be…
Cheng Bingxin’s eyes widened.
There really isn’t some “handsome junior,” is there?
Then I’ll have to take a good look!
Since Jiang Cheng registered early, his number plate was also drawn early, which placed him relatively near the front of the queue.
In front of Jiang Cheng, there were probably only a dozen or so students.
Once these dozen or so passed their exams, then it would be his turn.
To ensure the exams were open and transparent, the exam hall—under the powerful imaging capabilities of the Shadow Capture Array—allowed candidates waiting for their examination to watch the live footage from the examination room along with the teachers in the conference room.
As the first student entered the exam site set up by Lotus University, the loudspeakers in the exam hall repeated the exam question to everyone once more.
“You are a filial son and also a responsible husband. But now, your mother and your partner have both fallen into a weak water that will sap their cultivation levels, and your physical strength is only enough to save one person. Please make your choice swiftly.”
Since the content of the Lotus Cloud University’s freshman assessment had been announced in advance, although the details were not as complete as now, it had given the candidates enough time to prepare beforehand.
The first student didn’t hesitate much and directly said, “I choose to save my mother! My mother’s kindness in raising me is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea. I cannot betray her kindness because of personal love!”
After the first student spoke, he walked to the riverside constructed with magical treasures in the Lotus University exam hall, jumped into the river, and saved the dummy that represented his mother.
“It’s within the norms,” one said.
“A standard answer,” another agreed.
“That one’s from the Transmission Cultivation Department, I reckon they’ll give him a passing score,” someone commented.
In Conference Room Three, the Talisman Department teachers were discussing fervently.
Teachers, after all, know other teachers best. After the first student saved the dummy, on the screen powered by the Shadow Capture Array, the Transmission Cultivation Department teachers’ scores for the student who applied to their department were quickly displayed.
61.
Barely above passing, but still only a passing answer.
“Candidate number 1002, please enter the examination room.”
Candidate number 1002 was a brawny cultivator with an imposing aura. One could tell at a glance that he came from a well-off family and was confident in his power.
1002!
Once this number came up, all the teachers in Conference Room Three began to watch the screen attentively.
This was a new student who applied to their Talisman Department! Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/velbin(.)com
At the eighth level of Qi training, he had obtained a first-level Talisman Master Certificate two years ago!
He was indeed a genuine prospect!
They had to grade him well and not be sloppy, failing to meet the standard and becoming a laughing stock for other academies.
“You are a filial son and also a responsible husband. But now, your mother and your partner have both fallen into a weak water that will sap their cultivation levels, and your physical strength is only enough to save one person. Please make your choice swiftly,” the voice repeating the exam question came through the loudspeakers.
Everyone was waiting for number 1002’s answer.
In the queue of candidates, Jiang Cheng silently watched the screen. He was quite curious about how others would answer.
“I choose to save myself,” said candidate number 1002.
