Chapter 168: Full Score, Full Score, Still Full Score!

2nd of the Winter Solstice Month.

The assessment week, which lasted nearly seven days, has ended.

A large number of branch courses officially ended after three months of teaching.

Joseph Bol, the instructor of "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials," sat in front of the long table, looking meticulously at the stack of students' test papers collected on the table, and was grading them.

During the grading process, this middle-aged magic user shook his head from time to time, and then casually threw the parchment in his hand to the side.

There were already more than a dozen pieces of parchment of the same material there.

Each one represents a student who failed the assessment.

A course with a low passing rate, in addition to the high difficulty of the course itself, often has a strict and rigid instructor.

"General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" is also the same.

Joseph Bol is one of the strictest instructors recognized by many students in the academy.

If it weren't for the fact that "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" is one of the required branch courses of "Pharmacology," many people wouldn't be willing to choose this course because of Joseph.

"Poor, poor, these students, it's really one period worse than the next. If you spend a little more time on the course, you won't answer like this... With this attitude, how can there be any achievements in Pharmacology in the future."

After sighing in his heart, Joseph Bol's gaze fell on the next piece of parchment.

After looking at it for two eyes, suddenly, his pupils shrank, staring at the neat answers on the parchment, and he was unwilling to leave.

A moment later, Joseph Bol's face was slightly red, which was because of happiness.

Twenty questions carefully designed by him involve knowledge points in all aspects, and there are many "pits."

This is the first time he has seen a student who has avoided all these pits, and all the answers are correct.

Even if he looked at it with a critical eye, the answers on the parchment in front of him couldn't find any loopholes and omissions in any detail, which made the usually strict Joseph feel helpless.

Half a moment later, the redness on Joseph Bol's face faded, revealing a satisfied smile.

To be honest, when he was "making questions," he never thought that anyone could make such a perfect answer.

However, seeing such an answer exist, Joseph Bol only had full joy in his heart.

Without hesitation, he picked up his pen and gave this test paper a full score.

This is the first full score Joseph Bol has given in all the years he has taught this "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" course.

He was about to see who the student who gave such a perfect answer was, when the unlocked door was pushed open extremely rudely at this time.

The visitor neither knocked on the door nor greeted in advance. This impolite behavior made Joseph frown subconsciously.

However, after seeing who the visitor was, Joseph's frown relaxed, and he turned to smile.

Rod, also an instructor of the Alchemy Department, is not only a colleague with him, but the two were also in the same batch of students who entered Cyrus Academy, and chose to stay in the academy after graduation, and is a good friend for many years.

"Joseph, haven't you heard? That freshman Gao De has achieved full marks in the assessments of the two recent courses."

"Although "General Spells Recognition" and "Geography of the Nolan Continent and War Geography" are famous water courses for credits in the academy, achieving full marks is not easier than other courses!"

As soon as he walked into the door, Rod said excitedly with a gossiping expression.

"Gao De?" Joseph frowned and thought, "Who is that?"

"Hey, you," Rod laughed and scolded: "Didn't I mention this freshman to you last month?"

Joseph smiled and said seriously: "You say so many things every time, how can I remember them all." Although the two are good friends for many years, their personalities are actually completely different.

Rod is an enthusiastic, extroverted person who is keen on "gossip."

And he is much more silent, and has never been interested in those "gossip" that is seven or eight.

"I know you are focused on Pharmacology, but occasionally you need to find some fun to adjust your life..." Rod said earnestly, and at the same time popularized it to Joseph again: "Gao De is the freshman who chose sixteen courses."

For the name "Gao De," Joseph had no impression, but for the label "choosing sixteen courses," he had a deep impression, and he remembered it all at once.

"Oh, it's him!" Joseph suddenly realized, and then remembered something, and laughed: "Didn't you say you were not optimistic about him, thinking he was a grandstanding student? Now you are slapped in the face."

"People can get full marks in two courses, this is true strength."

Rod smiled awkwardly and said weakly: "I inferred from common sense..."

Immediately, he slapped his thigh fiercely, "I came to find you, also for him!"

"What do you mean?" Joseph didn't understand.

"This freshman also chose your "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" course. Although achieving full marks in those two water courses is not an easy thing, the difficulty of the course itself is ultimately relatively low, at most showing that this kid has a solid foundation and learns seriously."

"It still has to be the grade of your "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" course that can reflect the level." Rod quietly flattered Joseph again, and then continued:

"As a result, because you went to the Kals City below to purchase medicinal materials a few days ago, the "Geography of the Nolan Continent and War Geography" assessment results were released, but your "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" assessment results were still delayed."

"You have been back for the second day, I guess you must be grading students' test papers today..." Rod giggled, "Hurry up and reveal to me, how is this kid's grade in your place?"

"Heh, running such a trip just for this." Joseph rubbed his forehead helplessly, which was considered to be convinced by his friend's personality, but he was also very easy to talk to, at least in his friend's place. "Fine, I'll show you."

"Gao De..." He smacked the name, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, a bit familiar.

"Wait?!" The next moment, Joseph reacted suddenly, his gaze falling on the name of the full-mark answer in his hand.

The two words "Gao De" were lying there silently.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his friend promise himself, but there was no follow-up action, Rod asked puzzled.

Joseph took a deep breath and said slowly: "This time, I also got a full mark here."

"Oh?" Rod raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You are our academy's famous 'Cold-Faced Instructor,' picking out mistakes for students for every little bit, and in your hands, you can still get a full mark?"

"What cold-faced instructor," Joseph said dissatisfied: "Preparing potions is an extremely rigorous process, and even the slightest difference can lead to failure. In the early stages of learning, it is natural to cultivate these students' rigorous attitude toward Pharmacology."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Rod also knew his friend's temperament, too responsible and educational moral, although he felt it was unnecessary, he still respected it very much, and responded repeatedly.

"But I am still more concerned about Gao De's grade, to see how much he weighs." He circled the topic back to Gao De again.

"Didn't I tell you." Joseph restrained the smile on his face, put on a "cold-faced" posture, and said lightly.

"When did you tell me..." Rod's words paused, and he reacted in an instant, "Your full mark is Gao De?!"

"Hmm." Joseph responded.

Rod was completely stunned, looked at Joseph's face, and confirmed that with his friend's character, he shouldn't be joking with himself.

"Three courses full marks..." He muttered.

"A talent has appeared." Joseph was much calmer, sighing leisurely.
