High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 483: Chapter 152 Dual Assessment_1

The meeting lasted until ten o’clock in the evening.

At Deng Xiaojian’s request, Zheng Qing distributed test papers to each hunter to measure their understanding of their positions. The questions primarily asked about what choices the hunters should make under different circumstances, the recitation of practical spells used in the Hunting Ground, judgment of various breaches of the rules, and a few diagrams explaining battle formations.

The last question asked how the hunters would handle the situation if they encountered a hunting team ’fairly’ plundering the spoils of another hunting team in the Hunting Ground.

As expected, except for Doctor Xiao, who knew everything and could deal with the entire test paper, and Zhang Ji Xin who barely managed to pass due to his family’s influence, everyone else did terribly — including the team leader who was in charge of issuing and collecting the test papers.

Zheng Qing was devastated to discover that aside from being able to guess the multiple choice and true/false questions, and stringing together some spells he knew for the dictation, he had no clue about the last two major questions about the battle formation diagrams.

Even Mister Wolfman, who claimed to have ’lived for 1,300 years and seen everything,’ did not demonstrate a more profound or intricate thought process than a middle schooler.

”This is unfair!”

Finally, after the test had gone on for half an hour, Dylan couldn’t contain his frustration any longer. He put down his quill and complained, ”We are not students of Jiuyou Academy, we shouldn’t have to take this test with you... This is just cramming for exams! It doesn’t reflect our real magic level at all!”

”I come from Starry Sky Academy!”

”Only practice is the only way to test the truth!”

Lin Guo and Xin Fat Man nodded vigorously, almost wanting to smash the test paper in front of them.

Even the usually indifferent Blue Bird nodded slightly, seeming to strongly agree with Mister Wolfman’s opinion.

”For these three, I can understand their attitude, but you are a student of Jiuyou Academy!” Zheng Qing glanced at Xin Fat Man and twitched the corner of his mouth, ”Could you please show a little bit of a Jiuyou student’s dignity...”

”Dignity?” Xin Fat Man touched his chubby cheek in confusion, ”Isn’t my face big enough?”

The young cost student was left speechless.

”The test paper is only the first part of the assessment, there’s a practical part that follows.” After handing over his completed test paper to Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao silently pointed to the back of the classroom, ”Each of us has our own practical assessment.”

Dylan raised an eyebrow, tossed his half-finished test paper in front of Zheng Qing, and strode towards the back of the classroom.

Zheng Qing sighed, flipped through the test paper in his hand that was still filled with many blank spaces, and looked around.

”If you can’t come up with the answer right away, just hand in your paper.” He added with a melancholic tone, ”Deng Zi—our coach—has said before, opportunities are fleeting in the Hunting Ground. Whether it’s prey or an opponent, neither will give you too much time to react. If you don’t have the accurate answer right away, it means that you still don’t know the relevant knowledge... This procedure has a slight difference from our real exams.”

Xin Fat Man, who was still struggling desperately, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing Zheng Qing’s words, and quickly handed the test paper in front of Zheng Qing.

”I actually do know many of the points... But I just can’t recall them right now.” Fat Man looked sincerely at Zheng Qing and said so.

This time, even Lin Guo couldn’t stand it anymore.

”To know that you don’t know is called knowledge, aren’t you ashamed to pretend to know what you don’t know?” The little wizard made a face and stuck out his tongue.

Fat Man coughed loudly, dashed to the back of the classroom in two steps, while shouting, ”There’s a practical test? I had no idea... I’ve been in the classroom all along, when did you prepare the content for the practical test?”

”While you were eating.” Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, expressionless.

Although it’s called a practical assessment, to be accurate, it could only be called a ’partial’ practical assessment.

Before the young wizards, there laid an injured rabbit, a stack of mysterious talisman paper, and a full set of talisman paper and talisman pen materials.

”I need to draw an ’Armour Horse Charm’ and a ’Suppression Symbol’ within the specified time.” Zheng Qing lowered his head, reading the requirements in the information word by word, and slowly said:

”Xiao Xiao needs to divine the fortune for our spell class tomorrow.”

”As for Dylan and Blue Bird...you two continue with your questions.” As he spoke, Zheng Qing looked at Dylan sympathetically and added, ”These papers have diagrams of common demons. You need to recite their basic habits and weaknesses.”

Mister Wolfman turned pale and silently received the test paper, quietly returning to his seat in the front row.

”The chief hunter is responsible for supervision, you temporarily do not have any specific practical assessment.”

”The heaviest task is on the Left Auxiliary,” Speaking of which, Zheng Qing turned to look at Xin Fat Man, ”According to the coach’s requirement...in addition to acting as a meat shield, the Left Auxiliary also needs to have some healing skills.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the rabbit lying in the cage, and reminded him:

”This injured rabbit...You need to perform surgery on it to remove the broken bones, sew up the wounds, apply a splint, prepare a potion according to the requirements, and then apply it.”

”If the rabbit is still alive at the next training, you pass.”

The rabbit in the cage was lying listlessly, its hind legs were bent at a strange angle, with clear traces of animal bites on the broken place, and only a tiny bit of flesh seemed to connect the two broken parts.

Fat Man opened his mouth wide, making a hehe sound in his throat.

After a while, he hesitated, ”This is a rabbit!”

”I know it’s a rabbit.” Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows, ”Or do you want me to prepare an injured wizard for you?”

”Do you really have that much faith in me?!!” Xin Fat Man gesticulated wildly, appearing somewhat incoherent, ”It’s a rabbit!! A warm-blooded animal! The one from the Chinese Zodiac! If my treatment fails, will the labor commi... no, will the Trident Sword people kick our dormitory door down tomorrow?”

”Trident Sword doesn’t handle civil disputes between normal wizards and animals.” Xiao Xiao comforted from the side, ”Moreover, it’s just a broken leg... are you going to heal it to death?”

It seemed that the rabbit heard this unfriendly judgment, it suddenly raised it head from the cage. Its ears shot up on end.

The little red eyes were full of caution.

”Where did you get this guy from...” Fat Man finally gave up struggling, slipping on his silkworm gloves.

”From the Pet Garden.” Zheng Qing answered cheerfully, ”Deng Zi said, one of the pets in the Pet Garden hurt this wild rabbit... The person on duty in the Garden, Zhan Yuchen, one of the senior members of our school’s student union, contacted the adjudicating hunting squad wanting to deal with this problem in private. It was just a minor issue, and our hunting squad just happened to need practice, so Deng Zi handed it to me.”

”Deal with the problem?” Fat Man repeated in a peculiar tone.

”Just treat it before reporting to the Labor Committee, it can reduce the deduction of points!” Zheng Qing glanced at Fat Man, and hummed, ”I always felt that you just had something bold in mind...”

Xin Fat Man heaved a long sigh.

”If I commit secondary murder, you guys will be involved...” He muttered, began pulling out the glistening surgical tools and various potions from his bag, placing them in front of the rabbit.
