Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Wait a few moments, your grades will appear in the school system in a few seconds. Although you were separated into groups, the four of us evaluated each of you, so there will be four grades and the average between them. "Zeng He said, he and the other three assistants watched the students' performance and gave the grades.

His tone was casual, but internally, he was not surprised to see the students' poor grades, as they were the three worst classes in the school. At least some exceptions gave some surprises.

The students were eager to know their grades because they wanted to know what their first test at school was like.

With each passing second, it seemed like an eternity.

…

Thirty seconds later…

"You can check your grade in the system to avoid embarrassing students. We put the grades according to your enrollment number "Zeng He explained, the instructors did not want to make the students embarrass, so they preferred to put the grades according to each student's enrollment number.

The students took their cell phones and entered the school's system to see the grades. When the page opened, many different emotions were felt, each of the students felt differently when seeing those numbers.

"Do any of you have any questions or complaints about the note received? Those who have a complaint can raise your hands. "Zeng He already knew that there would be students who were not satisfied with the grade received.

More than half of the students raised their hands. As students who managed to enter one of the nation's top schools, they were arrogant and had confidence in their abilities. Because of that, the moment they saw that low grade, they had complaints.

"Looking at you, I can say that everyone should have complaints about the grade, right? "Zeng He got to the point, he had no desire to waste time with the students. Hearing his words, the students lowered their hands, it signaled that Zeng He's words were right.

"I understand that you are curious why your grade is so low or average. But you need to understand one thing, the entrance exam is one thing, our test is something else, you need to understand the difference. The entrance exam criterion is different from ours, you need to understand this fact.

As you are in doubt about how you are evaluated, I will say. On the entrance exam your score is calculated based on your performance, but what performance is this? This is simple.

For a mage, the spell's casting speed is important, because the faster you cast, the faster your enemy can be defeated. However, at the same time, your spell must also be powerful, this meaning the power of the primary spell is also a requirement. These are the two evaluation criterion in the entrance exam, speed, and power.

But things are different after you are admitted to the school because the teachers must teach you how to control your powers to the best of your ability, whether you can do it or not, this is something you will decide.

The teachers' evaluation criterion varies according to your class as you are in the first year, the evaluation criterion is the control, in the second year the criterion is the speed and in the third is the power. These are the three attributes evaluated over the three years at this college.

In terms of control, I say that you are very bad, not to say extremely poor, but with some exceptions that have given us some surprise.

After hearing what I just said, do you still have any questions? "Zeng He spoke his speech slowly and in a reasonable voice, all the students could hear what he said.

Some students knew the school rules and knew how the tests of each of the three years worked. Nevertheless, getting a bad grade in person was very different from hearing from someone else.

After a brief moment, the students gave up speaking out again, since if they tried something it would be rather humiliating, but doubt was still on everyone's mind.

"Instructor, I have a question yet" One student asked.

"Ask"

"If the evaluation criterion is control of our spell, does the person who has 100 points have perfect control of the spell?"

"Yes, it shows that he has above-average control that is much better than the school standard. Even the students in class A don't have this level of control. "Zeng He didn't want to talk too much about this subject, because it was something personal what kind of training the person did to reach that level.

Zeng He's words startled all the students in the place, they never imagined that anyone in the three worst classes in the school would get the highest grade. But who was this student? No one knew because the assistants didn't write the name.

"Does anyone have any more questions?" No one spoke up this time, the students were trying to figure out who is the student who got the top grade.

"As no one has any further doubts, we will start with our next part of the class. You may have already realized how poor your magic control is, so the next task is a little pair of training, you will choose your partners for the training.

To improve the interaction between you, each class will have to choose a new partner, that is, you will interact with each other at least once. Luckily, there is an even number of students.

You need to remember that when you were on a training excursion, you will be in a group and not alone, this interaction between you is a good start. You can start to split up and pick the duo for today's class, you only have two minutes for that. "

Zeng He just waved his hand and asked the students to choose their partner. Since students were interacting in the classroom before, these students formed pairs.

With each passing second, a pair was formed, and the number of students decreased with each passing moment. Some students were standing expecting to be the last, as they lacked good interaction skills with other students.

Sometime later…

"It seems that only you six are left, hurry up and choose a partner, otherwise I will separate you myself."

"Instructor, you could separate us, it's better than choosing someone." One student spoke in an unmotivated voice, he seemed to be sleepy and full of dark circles. Looking towards the student, it was possible to see that he was a messy and very sleepy young man. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was messy.

"I was going to do it without being asked. You and you will be the pair, both of you and you both. "Zeng He pointed at the students and formed the pairs.

Liu Yang was chosen to be the duo of a shy young girl, she was embarrassed to see that her duo was a boy. The discouraged young man teamed up with another silent boy. The third pair consisted of two girls who had arrogant glances, it seemed they were not caring about the others around them, as if they were invisible.
