It is a fairly fair selection system.
After looking at the students walking out of the passage, Dean avoided the crowd and sat back in his seat.
Because the written examination can be submitted in advance, the current batch of students have basically completed the examination in advance.
This can be seen from their expressions.
Everyone has a confident face, and the people who are relatively close to each other will also discuss a few answers to the exam they just took.
Dean tried to look for Lucy inside, but he didn't know whether he had too high expectations or was out of sight. After looking for a long time, he couldn't find the target.
On the contrary, Mengsha, who had been staring at the entrance of the passage without moving his gaze, was the first to catch Lucy's figure.
It tugged on Dean's cuffs, and when he didn't respond, it stretched out two cold little hands, pressed them on both sides of Dean's head, and twisted it away with a strong force.
The cold touch and this standard neck-twisting posture stimulated Dean to the point where he almost popped out of the protective barrier on the spot.
He pushed aside Mengsha's soft, boneless, cold hands that made people's backs hairy, and looked in the direction they were pointing.
Lucy, who had finished the written test, was walking towards the ring with cheerful steps, a look of relief on her face. She was obviously much more relaxed than before the test. She looked around twice and located Dean's position through Kana. , waved to him, and then trotted to the parents' table.
As soon as they met, she began to regret her hasty decision.
Because Dean opened his mouth and asked the question she least wanted to hear at the moment.
"How did you do on the exam?"
The smile on Lucy's face disappeared instantly. She bit her back teeth and said viciously: "I want you to take care of it!"
When I came up, I asked about the exam. Can we still talk?
Dean also carefully examined himself and felt that this question might be a bit direct, so he said in a roundabout way: "Is the question difficult? I just heard a few people discussing the answers. Do you want to reveal them to you..."
Lucy turned and left.
Dean stopped the person and changed the subject: "You didn't bring Yaya here. Are you planning to save your trump card for the next round?"
Lucy expressed disdain for his poor ability to change the topic, but still followed Dean's train of thought and shifted her focus away from the exam.
She explained: "Ya and I have developed a unique trick. Since we have only practiced it not long ago, we haven't been able to use it very skillfully yet."
"We discussed it and felt that I can handle today's intramural competition by myself, so I left it in the dormitory."
This is Lucy's own tactical arrangement. Of course, Dean will not interfere too much, but out of caution, he still reminds Lucy that he has brought a new familiar. If she needs it, she can make specific gestures. After En sees it, he will ask Mengsha to bring Yaya over.
"I understand, thank you for your help, Mr. President."
Lucy didn't think anything unexpected would happen. She had always been an expert at calculating scores, and her score calculations were extremely accurate, and this time was no exception.
But she thanked Dean for his kindness.
After all, this is the most human-like speech he has spoken since we met.
commendable.
After teasing the president, Lucy went to the waiting area at the reminder of the invigilator.
Soon, all the parents were seated, and the first phase of the practical assessment was announced to begin.
Because she was standing relatively far back, Lucy was unable to grab the position to hold the ring in the first round, but she reacted quickly. After realizing that she was too late, she decisively chose the ring closest to Dean to challenge.
The referee teacher in charge of scoring took the badges of the offensive and defensive students, waved his hand, and announced the start of the exam.
This was the first time Dean had ever seen a fight between priests.
Before this, he had always thought that this kind of profession that lacked strong offensive power should use some medical assessments or other similar forms of assessment methods to evaluate students' performance.
It wasn't until he came here that he knew that all professionals were assessed based on actual combat performance.
The academy's standard for outstanding students has never been about who can shoot the best while standing, nor about who can sit in the medical room and raise their hands to release magic in the most standard and most effective manner. It has never been about who can do it. At critical moments, play your greatest role and perform at your strongest level.
This is also a common teaching trend in the current era.
Dean quite appreciates this awareness. He does not position a certain profession as a supporting role because of its professional characteristics, and strives to develop the ability of these professionals to fight independently.
This training method may not be helpful for priests to cooperate with other professionals in the future, but it can improve their own self-protection ability. From the perspective of the college, it can be regarded as a kind of care for the students.
As for how much of it is to cater to the no-shortcomings career theory introduced by Raleye City, it is unknown.
Anyway, judging from the competition in the arena, the Holy Seminary still puts great effort into cultivating students' practical abilities.
The challenges in the sixteen arenas started almost at the same time. After taking a look at the challenges in other arenas, Dean focused on Lucy.
Facts have proved that even professions that lack offensive power can develop their own unique fighting methods.
Especially for professions like priests, which test the level of micromanagement, various tactical arrangements and corresponding calculations of physical strength, magic power, etc. are indispensable in battle.
These things are hidden in the details of the battle, and it is impossible to understand them thoroughly by just observing them with the naked eye.
Dean glanced at the battles in other arenas. They were basically the same. Everyone's fighting methods were to use various defensive and healing spells to arm themselves, and then gradually consume the opponent's physical strength.
Overall...a bit boring.
Experts may be able to figure it out, but for laymen, the threshold for appreciation is a bit high.
Dean is one of those outsiders.
The sky was filled with holy light on the stage, but he yawned continuously when he saw it.
This kind of professional battle that requires a certain amount of knowledge is really not suitable for beginners of his level, but it is a rare opportunity to collect priest battle information, and Dean does not want to give up, so after thinking about it, he decided to let Xiao Lan Watch the battle for yourself.
Xiaolan, who was holding Dean's hair, spurned him and watched the competition on the ring intently.
The knowledge learned from books was quickly digested and became its own accumulation.
About fifteen minutes later, Lucy's first battle ended with the referee's announcement.
The moment she heard the verdict, she decisively dissipated the defensive magic she still maintained and silently began to regain her strength.
