Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 320 Scores Released
——"Why did you only get 72 points?"

Lin Xiaolu's bold words, along with her self-confidence, were shattered after the make-up exam the next day.

The day before the practical test, which was a day of rest for most candidates, was now used as a make-up test.

In order to announce the passing scores in a timely manner, the examiners of the Examination Institute worked overtime and finally announced the passing scores of the four written tests and the transcripts of many candidates that evening.

Among them, the passing score for "Symology" is 67 points, the passing score for "Arithmetic" is 79 points, the passing score for "Analysis of Remaining Beasts" is 55 points, and the passing score for "Legal Norms" is 66 points.

Lin Xiaolu chose to take make-up exams for both runes and arithmetic, so her final scores were 72 points for runes, 88 points for arithmetic, 80 points for analysis of crevice beasts, and 72 points for legal norms.

It was normal for him to get a high score in math. As the focus of the teaching of the school, it was natural for him to get a high score in the analysis of the beasts. But the scores of the remaining two subjects could only be described as "floating at a low altitude". Although such a total score was still worthy of being called "low-level", it was indeed a long way from what Lin Xiaolu wanted to "stand out from the crowd".

On the other hand, the written test scores of other people in the team were naturally released at the same time.

Bai Jingxuan, 87 points in runes, 82 points in mathematics, 94 points in analysis of residual beasts, and 69 points in legal norms.

Among them, the math score was average, mainly because Bai Jingxuan was ill when she was young and was unable to attend school. She was able to pass the exam now, all because Cuiqiao took her away from the orphanage and taught her day and night.

Runes and analysis of remnant beasts were her personal interests. Kusanagi could also sense that this child was very eager for all the knowledge that could "make her stronger", and her learning efficiency and motivation would become very strong. It was not surprising that she could get such an excellent score.

As for the last one, it is the "National Legal Principles and Mission Conduct Code" that almost failed.

But to be honest, it was a relief to Delphinium that the child was able to pass this course.

The main purpose of setting up this subject is to screen out those magical girls who are not smart and have low values, and to prevent those who do whatever they want and act recklessly from getting the certification card. And considering Bai Jingxuan's personality of talking about "revenge" and "slaughter", it was not easy for her to pass the exam. At least she could judge that although she might not understand what Cuique had told her on a daily basis, she still remembered some of it.

As for the last of the three, Xia Liang, his performance was very extraordinary.

Runes 95, Arithmetic 99, Beast Analysis 93, Legal Norms 92.

This score also ranked fifth in this written test.

But everyone actually knows that although he was only ranked fifth in the written test of a single assessment, the number of candidates for this assessment was different from previous years. Many of them were "old seniors" who should have taken the assessment a long time ago but kept delaying and only came to take the white-card test this year.

These candidates have all-round advantages in the assessment. Not only are they more experienced in actual combat than other pure newcomers, but they also have more time to study and prepare for the written test subjects. Therefore, being able to snatch the fifth place in the written test from these people is definitely not easier than the first place in the previous written test, and it may even be a more difficult task.

There is no doubt that if the assessment was based solely on a written test, Xia Liang would have undoubtedly accomplished the task of "shining brilliantly" in Lin Xiaolu's mind. In fact, this result has surpassed Lin Xiaolu by so much that she never even imagined that she could get the same score as him.

"Why, why! We were in class together, doing homework together, and writing papers together...your grades were even worse than mine at the beginning!"

Lin Xiaolu shook Xia Liang's shoulders unwillingly: "How can you be so much taller than me? How can you be so much taller? Are you still a human being?"

"I think... well, maybe it's just because I'm good at memorizing?"

Xia Liang said helplessly: "So can you stop shaking me... I'm almost vomiting when you shake it."

"Then let me spit it out! Let me see what you eat, what is different from me? Everyone has one nose and two eyes, why!" Lin Xiaolu shouted.

"It's a bit disgusting when it comes to this." Xia Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I obviously always thought you were with me, but you actually learned so much better than me. You traitor..."

Lin Xiaolu's accusations continue.

Of course, in addition to the three juniors, "Rookie Magical Girl Rindou" also received her own report card.

Runeology scores 79 points, arithmetic scores 85 points, residual beast analysis scores 74 points, and legal theory and norms scores 72 points.

Each subject is at a level higher than the passing line, but not much higher, which is generally in line with the academic level that "10-year-old children" can have in the world.

Cuique did not worry about failing the exam due to over-controlling her scores, because her scores were all at the higher end of the average scores of various subjects over the years. In other words, when the test paper was the easiest, she would get the score that the average score should be.

The difficulty of the white card level written test is no different from an open book test for her. She knows the answer to almost all the questions after just reading the stem, so as long as she finishes writing, the answer will be correct. However, there are some essay questions, which may have a deviation of one or two points due to the different personal perceptions of the examiner.

This result was undoubtedly only below average among many candidates, but Cuique's original intention was only to enter the examination room as a candidate for the practical assessment, so she did not care about the ranking.

After confirming that all four members of the team had successfully passed the assessment and were able to advance to the next stage normally, the slight tension in everyone's hearts naturally dissipated a lot.

In the evening, Cuiqiao went to the hot spring alone. After confirming that there was no one else in the pool, she took a relaxing bath and then left leisurely and slowly.

Some cloud-shaped seats are placed in the open space outside the locker room to provide a resting place for customers waiting outside the hot spring.

There, Delphinium saw Xia Liang wearing a bathrobe.

"What's wrong?"

Realizing that Xia Liang might be sitting here waiting for her, Cuique walked forward and asked curiously.

"Senior, I got the fifth place in the exam." Xia Liang said so. "Ah, yes, fifth place, it's really amazing, even I was surprised."

Delphinium was slightly stunned, then nodded in affirmation: "You are very smart and work hard, I am proud of your achievements.

"Not enough." Xia Liang looked at her and shook his head slightly.

"Not enough?" Delphinium wondered.

“This level of representation is not enough.”

Xia Liang puffed up his cheeks slightly, looking a little jealous: "Although I know very well that you will favor Xiaolu, but now I have done something more remarkable than Xiaolu, can't you reward me as well?"

"...What reward do you want?" Delphin blinked.

"I want to touch it too." Xia Liang winked at her.

"I remember someone told me about the 'Gentle Harbor Strategy' before, saying there was no need to make things difficult for me." Delphinium closed her eyes.

"That's another matter."

Xia Liang stretched out a foot somewhat unhappily and used his toes to symbolically kick Cuique's calf lightly: "This is a super formal national assessment. If I want to accomplish something as remarkable as this next time, I don't know when it will take. Can't I come to you to take credit for it?"

"I suppose I can help you get some other rewards?"

Delphinium did not care about the other party's little action: "For example, I can help you buy some more practical magic props, or what clothes, accessories, toys you want... or electronic products?"

"You can always ask for those things later."

Xia Liang scratched Cuique's calf with his toes twice more: "And what do you mean by 'making things difficult' for you? It's obvious that when Xiaolu and Xiaoxuan came to you to act coquettishly, you always agreed to their requests. You are a big liar and biased person, little senior."

"Don't be ridiculous...it's because they don't know about that."

Delphinium took two steps back: "But you already know that, don't you? So it's only right to avoid suspicion."

"Isn't it just that I can become a man, and I can be with... well, I don't really mind it, it's better to say it's like this..."

Xia Liang muttered with some resentment, but he blushed halfway through his words, so he shook his head, as if he had denied something: "Anyway, I want one too! Don't you want Xiaolu and the others to see you and get jealous? I came all the way here, what other excuses can I have?"

"You really have to persist like this?" Delphin was already sighing.

"I'm ready." This time it was Xia Liang who closed his eyes.

"……Fine."

Anyway, it was just a pat on the head, so it wasn't considered an outrageous behavior. Cuique comforted herself like this, stretched out her hand, and rubbed Xia Liang's head.

During this process, Xia Liang leaned forward slightly and leaned his head on Deereph's abdomen. Deereph hesitated for a moment, but did not stop her.

"Young senior."

Xia Liang's voice was a little muffled: "I, in fact, know very well that the only chance for me to perform better and more dazzling than others is probably this written test."

"...How could that be." Delphinium responded in a low voice: "You are already at the Leaf level, and you have been working hard to increase your skills and application in the past few months. Your magic suit has also evolved, and you even have new tricks that you haven't told us, right?"

"Ah, you already know that, but that's normal."

Xia Liang's tone was a little low, but also very calm: "If it was the assessment in previous years, perhaps I would think 'this is enough', 'this is already very good', right? However, after actually interacting with other candidates in this year, I have more or less felt a fact, that is, 'this level may not be enough'."

"How would you know if you haven't tried?" Delphinium retorted.

"Because I'm too ordinary."

Xia Liang said slowly: "No matter how much I study and how much I improve, my improvement is only within the scope of 'ordinary magical girl'. However, it is too difficult to become an 'unusual magical girl'. I find that it seems to be really difficult for me to do this."

"You are already very extraordinary." Cui Bird said seriously.

"Well, maybe that's how it looks in many people's eyes."

Xia Liang's voice was slightly tired. "To be honest, I haven't lost my morale and voluntarily admitted defeat before fighting with others. Rather, even though I seem to be saying some discouraging words to you now, I am still thinking about 'winning' and 'standing out' in my heart, and wanting to be among the top few in the actual combat assessment."

"I no longer treat all this as a joke, but keep running forward. I have come here step by step just to chase after you. And now, it is finally time to verify the results."

She pressed her face against the belly of the Delphinium, closed her eyes, and murmured:

"So, just treat this as your last weakness before the actual test begins. Give me some more encouragement, young senior."
