Chapter 3155

Although the academy issued many regulations aimed at "skipping grades" at the end of 1854, it was unrealistic for Luweiya and the other four, who originally didn't intend to skip grades, to finish the courses required for skipping grades in one month. So everyone decided to appropriately reveal their own levels to the academy after the exam week this year, and then go to take some suitable courses.

But taking high-grade courses not only requires meeting the upgrade conditions but also requires a year-end comprehensive assessment, achieving at least an "Exceeds Expectations · Upper" level among the five major grades of "Outstanding," "Exceeds Expectations," "Pass," "Fail," and "Terrible," and the three small grades of "Upper, Middle, Lower" within them.

And the only ones who met this condition last year were Xia De and the doctor; even the doctor's grade was adjusted upward because of his status as the group leader, otherwise, he actually wouldn't have met it either.

In short, the winter exam week this year was quite important for the other four people besides Xia De. After everyone arrived, as the doctor suggested that Luweiya divine the results of today's exam, the atmosphere suddenly became tense:

"Doctor, don't say such nerve-wracking things every time!"

But no matter what everyone thought, the upgrade exam at the end of the winter of 1854 was still held on time at nine o'clock on Sunday morning in the living room of Room 2.

This time, in addition to Professor Garcia, the vice-dean of the History Academy who took great care of Xia De, and a secretary from the Student Management Office, there were also two professors from the Astronomy Academy and the Political Economy Academy who came to invigilate, but Xia De had not seen the latter two.

Five desks were arranged in a circle in the center of the living room at even intervals. This exam began with the sound of scratching pens and ended at three o'clock that afternoon.

Xia De was still the last person to finish the exam paper, and this time it didn't last until evening, not because his writing speed had become faster, but because while the high-grade courses were becoming more difficult, the number of them had also significantly decreased; after all, many basic courses had ended in the fifth or sixth grade.

"The feeling this year is obviously much better than last year; I definitely won't have any problems this time."

After the exam, one had to wait for half an hour to receive the report card and the year-end assessment for each person, so everyone sat in the living room of Room 1 and chatted.

Duoluoxi was in a very good mood; last year, she had three courses that just barely passed with a "Pass" grade, and the final comprehensive assessment was only "Exceeds Expectations · Lower," which was at the same level as the priest who had been stuck at the Second Ring for several years before.

"Everyone is well prepared this year. And don't forget, we also have the reward of everyone's grade rising by one level in the spring of 1854 because of watching and transporting the Angel-level relic 【Remains of the Nameless】."

Dr. Schneider reminded with a smile:

"There is also the card experiment task last month; Anate herself has a chance to improve her grade. I think the only suspense this year is probably whether Xia De can still win the 'Feilianna Medal'."

"That's impossible."

Xia De hurriedly shook his head; this kind of special reward is generally not awarded to the same person consecutively unless he has made a very significant and indelible contribution to the academy. He did indeed do many big things last year, but unfortunately, he didn't use the identity of Xia De Hamilton.

When everyone returned to Room 2 next door and Professor Garcia came to read out the exam results and academic year assessment, the final result was indeed not much different from expectations:

"Group leader Bill D. Schneider, successfully passed the sixth-grade exam, and the practical credits are sufficient, promoted to the seventh grade. According to the number of academy bounties completed throughout the year, the situation of assisting in-school students to complete summer off-campus practice, the number of excess practical credits, and the additional evaluation of elective course teachers, the comprehensive evaluation for this academic year is 【Exceeds Expectations · Upper】. Because of the group leader status, the evaluation is adjusted upward by one small grade; due to the completion of a special off-campus task in the spring, the grade is adjusted upward by one small grade. The final grade is, Outstanding · Middle."

This evaluation was the same as last year, but last year was also a special situation; the doctor had his evaluation improved by two small grades because he recruited Xia De.

However, although the grade was the same as last year, the academic year assessment reward was much more than last year. This was also something the doctor had mentioned in advance; the academy and the church had both increased the level of various rewards because of the changes in the world.

"After discussion by the academy, the academic year assessment reward is: choose one relic below the Keeper level, one relic below the Document level, and three free strange spells, providing ritual materials. Several professors have opened additional elective courses for you; please check the letters yourself later. Please contact the Mechanical Academy within two weeks to discuss the seventh-grade course matters. Due to outstanding results, you have been awarded the title of 'Outstanding Student of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, 1854 of the Sixth Era'."

After the professor finished speaking, the poetry manuscript pages sent the doctor's grade report, year-end assessment report, and the purple-gold medal packed in a small red box; this was also the second time the doctor had won this honor.

Subsequently, Duoluoxi was promoted to the sixth grade, Luweiya was promoted to the fifth grade, Priest Ao Gu Si was promoted to the third grade, and the final grades of the priest and Duoluoxi were 【Exceeds Expectations · Upper】 and 【Outstanding · Lower】 respectively. Duoluoxi's results this year were quite good, and coupled with publishing a paper titled "Resonance between Modern Popular Novels and Enlightenment Elements: Taking 'Detective Knight Biography' as an Example," she almost reached the 【Outstanding · Lower】 grade based on results alone.

It was Luweiya who, because of the additional grade improvement, had the same final grade as the doctor, both being 【Outstanding · Middle】. However, it was a pity that Luweiya did not win the "Outstanding Student Medal"; after all, she did not have the status of a group leader, and in the case of the same grade, her contribution to the academy was not as much as the doctor's.

And it was only finally Xia De's results:

"Xia De Su Lun Hamilton, successfully passed the skip-grade exam, and the practical credits are sufficient, promoted to the eighth grade. According to the number of academy bounties completed throughout the year, the situation of assisting in-school students to complete summer off-campus practice, the number of excess practical credits, teacher additional evaluation, the situation of completing special off-campus tasks in the spring, the extra praise from the academy library for your time investigation report, and the situation of paper publication and book publication, the comprehensive evaluation for this academic year is 【Outstanding · Upper】."

Professor Garcia smiled at Xia De:

"The two papers you published at the end of the year titled 'Three Brand New Uses of Moon Flower Water' and 'Time Echo Hypothesis Based on Flame Resonance Theory' caused quite a sensation in the Chemistry Academy and History Academy. If it weren't for the fact that the publication time was too late, I think you would have been qualified to participate in the academy's outstanding paper award this year."

Xia De responded with a smile; although he could hear what these two papers were written about, he knew very well that unless there was really a mysterious force controlling him to sleepwalk to write papers and submit them to the academy, these two papers must have been written by Dannister after blending the 3 points of inspiration he provided with her own 97 points of research.

It goes without saying that these academic crystallizations, where the corresponding author and the first author were both "Dannister Gustav," were a small year-end "surprise" given by that administrator lady to her student and lover. Although Xia De also accepted Dannister's help, he still felt that he was eating soft rice because of this.

However, the 【Outstanding · Upper】 evaluation also allowed him to get the title and medal of "Outstanding Student of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, 1854 of the Sixth Era" just like the doctor. In fact, whether it was an in-school student or a correspondence student, as long as the year-end evaluation was 【Outstanding · Upper】, they could get this reward, while the doctor's 【Outstanding · Middle】 had to be additionally examined for his specific contribution to the academy.

However, although the results were good, the grade improved rapidly, and there were even additional papers and book publications, Xia De indeed did not win the "Feilianna Medal" this year. Xia De was not disappointed at all; the reward given to outstanding students was generous enough, and he would not greedily crave more rewards that did not belong to him.

Currently, only Principal Pigeman, who had witnessed the two of them, probably knew the true relationship between Xia De and Dannister, so Professor Garcia and others only guessed that the "Red Moon Witch" had given her student certain convenience and help, and didn't think much about it because of this. After they finished reading the exam results and assessment results, they additionally praised that all members of the group in 1854 had achieved good results above the average, which was a remarkable achievement.

As for the final matter, it was the two Keeper-level relic rewards for the 【Fate Observer Card】 task last month, which could finally be handed over to the group after passing the approval—cash and credit rewards were not so troublesome.

The healing-type relic 【Hungry Blood Lamp】 added by the doctor for the group was successfully obtained. This relic was kept in the hands of him, who was the group leader, and anyone could borrow it later; while the second relic belonged to Luweiya, who gave up the cash reward. She indeed chose a relic exclusive to diviners—【Mercury Echo】.

This relic was actually an exquisite silver card box with a push cover. After opening it, half of the volume in the card box was liquid mercury that could not be taken out. Its characteristic was that after the cards were immersed in the mercury of the card box, the relic endowed the cards contained inside with the effect of "destined," which meant the results of the divination cards would become more accurate.

The front of the box cover had the Ouroboros logo, but this did not mean that this relic belonged to the ancient Fate Order; this relic was a utensil of a certain diviner in the Second Era, and the other party believed in the ancient god 【Mr. Ring】. The sides of the card box were some meaningless decorative patterns, and on the back of the card box, there was also a reminder left by the Second Era diviner to future generations:

【Fate is unpredictable.】

Luweiya was very satisfied with this relic, and after sending the professors away, the five people who breathed a sigh of relief returned to the sofa in Room 1:

"After taking these exams, I finally have the feeling that 1854 has completely waved goodbye to me. Everyone's results are good, which can be considered as putting the fullest period on 1854 together."

The doctor picked up the tea cup:

"Although I really want to remind you now that the summer exam doesn't look far away, since everyone did very well this year, I'll wait until next month to remind you."
