《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 113: Famous School's Consideration
Advertisement
In the classroom.
Old Chen distributed a thick stack of examination papers.
Last year's College Entrance Examination papers, last last year's College Entrance Examination papers, this year's first mock paper, second mock paper, third mock paper, etc…
"I can't live anymore." Liu Ren at the next table sighed.
As a student of the Sprite stream and an official Sprite Trainer, he actually had to do test papers. That was simply…
It was something that he couldn't resist either.
Liu Ren picked up a pen and started answering with dull eyes.
Sprite stream students were not requied to score a high grade for academic subjects.
However, Sprite Trainers needed to spend a lot of time on nurturing and training sprites, which would distract them from their academic performance.
As the College Entrance Examination approached, the school also started to ask students to complete a sea of questions.
No one dared to say that they didn't attach importance to academic subjects. How wasteful would it be if the battle and combat results of a student's sprite passed the mark, but it just so happened that his academic results were too poor and he eventually got scrapped?
The pressure on the Star student Su wasn't that high.
The first thing he did when he received the test papers was to select the subjects related to sprites and set them aside.
He only needed to focus on subjects like Chinese, Mathematics, and Moral Education that he couldn't score… Well, his knowledge pool was slightly poor.
"Right."
He looked towards Reverie Butterfly who was hugging its cell phone by the window. "Do you know these questions?"
He took out a Sprite Cultivation stream test paper and placed it in front of Reverie Butterfly.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…?"
Its expression was stiff, and two big "?¿" appeared in its big eyes.
"So you don't know how to do it..."
Su Hao sighed in disappointment. "How can you become a cultured sprite if you don't even know such basic questions?"
Reverie Butterfly: "???"
You underestimate the butterfly, coo~!
It grabbed the exam paper.
At the side.
Pancake face Liu turned around as a question mark appeared in his eyes too.
You call this basic questions??
...
"There are only 18 days left until the College Entrance Examination. Students, you must not relax at the last moment. When you get into a Sprite University, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to relax."

"During the College Entrance Examination, the first stage is the written examination for the academic subjects. It will take three days.
"Chinese and Mathematics will be tested on the first day, the second day will be testing… Comprehensive sprite cultivation and comprehensive sprite combat will be tested on the third day…"
"After the academic subjects are done, we will be resting for two days before beginning the second stage of the assessment."
"They are categorized into spiritual force tests and one-on-one battles for sprites."
On the podium, Old Chen paused.
"Last year, the spiritual force requirement to enroll in a Sprite University was 93. However, this is only the lowest spiritual force value. When a sprite's spiritual force is low, it needs to have an even better performance in the battle assessment later… And this year, the weightage of marks for the third stage of the combat examination is even higher."
"The estimated spiritual force cut-off value for this year is above 96. Those whose sprites haven't reached the value, those whose sprites have just reached it or those whose families are eligible, try to buy high-level nutritional supplements for your sprites soon."
"Let me talk about the battle assessment for the second stage."
Old Chen said, "The sprites you will be facing in the battle assessment are usually wild sprites with a spiritual force value of around 100 points. They are randomly selected the day before the assessment. Among the three sprites selected, you will be choosing one as your opponent…"
"What's being tested here isn't just your commanding abilities, but also your pre-battle analyzing abilities. Choosing opponents whose attributes and types are countered will allow you to win more easily…"
"The final score is based on the time taken to defeat the opponent and whether your sprite is injured."
Most of the people in the class were aware of this information. Their form teacher, Old Chen, only emphasized it again.
Even so, there were still many students whose expressions changed slightly.
Those were students whose sprites didn't have high spiritual force.
But after all, they were all aiming to go to Sprite Universities. Apart from the three to five people in the class who were already sure that there was no hope, the rest of the students had sprite spiritual force of more than 90. Their chances of getting into Sprite Universities may not be that high, but they still had a chance at survival if they took a gamble.

"The final third stage of the combat test will be held ten days after the end of the second stage. That period is the final sprint, and it is also time for you to think and choose the examination area…"
In other words, the whole Sprite stream College Entrance Examination would last nearly a month?
Su Hao was secretly surprised.
This was too… cumbersome!
This was why they took the exam half a month earlier than their neighbor, the Cultural Department!
...
After class, Su Hao, Liu Ren, and Li Songting were called to Old Chen's office.
Along with them was Gu Lingyao from Class 1.
The dean, Old Gu, looked at Liu Ren and the other two first. "It's hard to determine the cutoff score for the prestigious schools this year, but with your sprites' cultivation levels and battle standards, you have a chance of getting into a prestigious school."
As Old Gu spoke, he couldn't help but smile.
These were four seedlings who had a high chance of getting into prestigious schools. Ever since An City First High established their Sprite stream, there hadn't even been four students who managed to enroll in a prestigious school.
Especially Su Hao…
"I won't say anything more about you. With your grades, as long as you don't get too carried away, you can choose any of the three prestigious schools, but…"
Old Gu said, "You still have to try your best to get high marks, even if it's just to get into a prestigious school. If your marks are high, you will definitely be taken more seriously as compared to those with lower scores… And Sprite Trainers is an occupation that consumes a lot of resources, so…"
Su Hao understood right away.
He should try his best to be transcurrent!
The resources of Sprite Universities were also limited. The division of resources depended on results… or rather, abilities.
And the College Entrance Examination was the best opportunity for him to enter the eyes of the strong.
Would they be targeted by terrorist organizations?
That couldn't be completely avoided.
They couldn't keep pretending to be pigs.
Only by being valued would they be able to obtain more resources. As for the terrorist organizations… Su Hao also found some information on it through the Union's intranet.
There were three well-known terrorist organizations in the world.
They often jumped out to be responsible for certain incidents.
But in fact… they could only play tricks in the dark.
Especially within the Dragon Nation.
The previous attack on the convoy was really bad luck.
"Besides, as long as I improve fast enough, the enemy won't be able to see through my background."
...
"A prestigious school…"
In the corridor, Liu Ren was excited and agitated. "If we can all get into prestigious schools, and even become Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainers in the future, wouldn't we become the Four Heavenly Kings of An City First High…"
"No, no, no, this title is too low-class. Let me think…"
"You sound like you are dragging us down with you."
Gu Lingyao's harsh words made Big Mouth Liu cover his mouth.
After covering it for half a second, he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, if you have enough marks, which school do you want to go to? Dragon City University? Fiery Bird University? Or Whale Island University? There shouldn't be anyone who wants to go to a foreign university, right?"
"Of course not."
The situation was different.
Ordinary students could study abroad, but Sprite Trainers… As long as they weren't stupid, they would definitely choose a university in their own country.
The three prestigious schools in Dragon Nation were also rated first in the world.
In some small countries, there were exchange students who went to Dragon Nation to study.
Su Hao recalled information about the universities.
"The three prestigious universities each have their own specialties.
"Dragon City University is the most comprehensive. Apart from Sprite Trainers, there are also many big shots from other faculties."
"As long as Fiery Bird University is outstanding enough, it will be able to get cultivation plans for its signature sprite, Puerile Turkey, as well as the systematic Fiery Bird pathway. There are already more than one or two Sprite Trainers who use Fiery Bird as their trump card to reach the Heavenly King level."
"Whale Island University, on the other hand, is located overseas, on a huge island shaped like a divine whale. It has several unique sprites. It is said that the principal is a Crown Sprite Trainer."

Not long ago I was just a humble store clerk. But shortly after getting into an unfortunate road accident, I woke up in the setting of an infamous Otome Game called “Lost in Love: A Heart Throbbing Romance in a Fantasy World~!” Yeah.
