Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 17

The students were already eager to know their grades, the seconds were like an eternity that never ended.

Ding… Ding… Ding…

Many system sounds were heard, these were the sounds of when a new message was received. Students marked system messages as important when grades were placed.

Opening the school system page, the students saw that the grades were separated by duos, the pair"s enrollment number and next to it was the grade.

Looking at those low numbers, many students were frustrated, they figured they could get a higher grade after taking the duo test, but to their surprises, the grades were worse than the previous test.

But one thing surprised everyone, the student who scored the highest on the previous test, he scored the highest again, but this time, he had a double. Every one imagined that the student"s duo was lucky to be part of his group.

"Did you see that? It"s that student again "

"Yes, I saw. This student must be amazing because he got the top score again. "

"I think there is something wrong with that, no one could hit the center of the target, how did this student get the top grade ??"

"Now that you have talked about it… In the previous test, no student could hit the target, but someone got the top grade, how is that possible?"

Many students began to comment after seeing the same student again receiving the top grade.

"Looks like you"re curious about why a student got a max score without reaching the test goal, right?" Zeng He asked casually, he knew this would happen.

"Yes," The students nodded.

"The reason is very simple, have you forgotten the main purpose of our cla.s.s?" Zeng He asked as if this were the most obvious thing in the world.

Many students were confused about this question, but others understood.

"Did you forget that the main purpose of our cla.s.s is the control of magic? Why would we evaluate your aim? "Zeng He said, the purpose of the cla.s.s has been commented on before, but none of the students realized that the tests were always related to magic control.

"Instructor, so you mean the student who got the high score twice, he has the most control of his element?" One student asked everyone who was shocked to hear Zeng He"s words.

"Yes, he has the most control of his element among you all. If I were to risk it, this student would have the most control of the whole school, in the matter of elemental control, no student of this school can compare to him. "Zeng He said happily, a student like he was hard to find.

These words caused a stir among the students, they finally realized that there was some genius between the three cla.s.ses.

"Instructor, can you say who this student is?" Everyone was curious to know who this genius was.

"I apologize for this, but I cannot reveal the ident.i.ty of this student. Also, you will find out later on this subject. Your hands-on cla.s.s is over, you can keep practicing in the gym for a while, or go to the training rooms in the other building. Until another day. "Zeng He and the other a.s.sistants said goodbye and left.


Some students were not in the mood to stay and leave, those who remained, they stayed in the gym trying to find out who was the genius student who got the highest grade in both tests.

"You could talk about your registration number, it makes things easier" One student suggested, everyone was meeting to discuss it.

"I don"t think so, I don"t want to be embarra.s.sed" Another student replied, he was ashamed of the grade he received.

"You don"t want to find out who the genius student of the cla.s.s is either? Also, the instructor said that no student in this school compares to him in the control of the elements. If we find out who this person is, he can help us a little. "

"Yes, but you better left it for later ..."

Many students left after hearing the proposal to speak their enrollment numbers, as it was very embarra.s.sing to show other students that low grade.

The remaining students were those who were determined to find out who the genius student at school is. Only six students remained from the three cla.s.ses, they were the ones with the other highest grades, these students came from famous and powerful clans, but they were not talented like the other members.

"Will you speak your enrollment numbers?"

"It"s not necessary, we just need to say whether or not we are that person. I believe neither of us wants to lose face when lying, right? "Another student suggested. This suggestion was accepted by others.

"But how are we going to find out this student"s ident.i.ty if we don"t know who he is?" Another student asked.

"This is something we can find out later"

"Alright… I say I"m not the student who got the high grade."

"Me neither"

"Me neither"

The six students spoke, none of them was the genius student of the school.

"At least we know none of us is genius. Now we just need to ask the other students. "One of the students got up and left. The others did the same thing, but in their minds, each of them had a different thought.

In the princ.i.p.al"s office…

Tock… Tock…

"Come in" An old voice was heard from inside the room.

The door was opened and four 26-27-year-old youths entered, they were instructor Sun Qiu"s a.s.sistants.

"Good morning princ.i.p.al. Instructor, this student named Liu Yang is amazing, although he"s a little inferior to his girlfriend, he"s amazing. "

"Good morning, how was his a.s.sessment? This young girl named Liu Xia is amazing indeed, that"s what she expected being their daughter, even if she"s adopted. "The princ.i.p.al answered and asked, he was hopeful to see Liu Yang"s performance.

"It was better than we expected. Princ.i.p.al, instructor, you can look at the recordings. "

Zeng He projected on the wall the images of the practical cla.s.s from some time ago, the images were showing Liu Yang"s control skills. Everything he did in cla.s.s was recorded.

"This is amazing, I don"t think there is any student who is compatible with him regarding magic and element control." The princ.i.p.al seemed happy to say those words.

"The amazing thing is, he"s not arrogant and rampant as the other students in his cla.s.s." Zeng He liked the fact that Liu Yang didn"t act arrogant and prefer to keep his profile down.

Tock… Tock…

"Come in" The director was confused to hear someone else knock on the door.

"Princ.i.p.al, we have a great gem this year" A teacher hurried into the room, she looked young and looked about 24-25 years old. She was beautiful and elegant, her clothes were social. Her full name was Yan Jie.

"Teacher Yan, what happened?" The princ.i.p.al was surprised when he saw the young teacher agitated.

"Princ.i.p.al, look at this" Yan Jie was a little agitated by the surprise she received during her cla.s.s practice. She projected the images next to the images of Zeng He.

The scenes that appeared were of Liu Xia fighting the students in her cla.s.s, she fought and defeated all twenty-nine students as if they were just ants.

"That"s ..." Sun Qiu and his a.s.sistants were surprised to see this scene, as it was very similar to the scene of Liu Yang, where he manipulated his element. Liu Xia used her powers just as Liu Yang used as little magical power as possible.

Only the princ.i.p.al was pleased with this scene, it seemed to him that this result was already obvious.

"Princ.i.p.al, what do you think about this? She"s the brightest student I"ve ever seen, even university students don"t have her control over the element. "Yan Jie was very proud to have a student like Liu Xia.

"Teacher Yan, I think you"re wrong about that. The surname student Liu may be powerful, but she can"t compare it to my student, Liu Yang. "Sun Qiu didn"t let Yan Jie be the only one who talked about her student.

"Your student? What student? "Yan Jie was skeptical that there could be a student as good as Liu Xia.

"Look, the princ.i.p.al was seeing this recording just now." Sun Qiu shot the recording, and Liu Yang"s images were shown again.

"That"s ..." Looking at Liu Yang, Yan Jie realized who he was.

"Teacher Yan, this is my student. What do you think about him?"

"I can only say that he is an interesting student. Princ.i.p.al, what do you think of these two students? "Yan Jie vaguely answered Sun Qiu"s question and asked the princ.i.p.al.

"These two students are awesome, they can help us in the school compet.i.tion if they want." The princ.i.p.al had expectations that the couple would represent the school in the compet.i.tion.

"Princ.i.p.al, you know that even if student Liu Yang has been approved by teacher Cao Wen, many students in the first three cla.s.ses will not like this situation." Yan Jie also hoped that Liu Yang would join the school team, but the problem was the other students. They would not want a student in the worst cla.s.s to take the place of any of them.

"That"s true, but I"m afraid if he doesn"t join the team, student Liu Xia won"t accept joining the group, they"re both engaged after all." The director sighed after hearing Yan Jia"s words, he knew that the students in the first three cla.s.ses had prejudice with the last three cla.s.ses because they were very weak.

A student in the last cla.s.s stealing the place of a student in the first cla.s.s was very humiliating to them.
