"Battle evaluation, 60 points!"
The teacher in charge of the assessment loudly announced a student's score, then called out the student's number and asked the next student to come forward.
In the battle courtyard, a silver-gray grating separated the students from the open space inside. Students waiting for the exam stood in a bustling crowd on one side, waiting while watching other students' tests.
After completing the written exams, alchemy, horseback riding, and other tasks, today's combat exam was the final one. Because they were worried about students getting injured and affecting their writing and operation, combat was put last.
Loranhill and Lettice stood in the corner of the crowd, looking at the clay golems standing in the field and talking to each other in low voices.
"Did Roland see that? Those clay golems."
"Yeah, I see. Looks like it's around Sequence 3 level."
"Yes, this is an improved product. The original clay golem was only at the strength of a Sequence 1. A strong adult could defeat it without even needing supernatural powers."
"After hundreds of years of iteration and research, even the lowest-tier clay golems are now around Sequence 2. This refined part of the school is Sequence 3."
Lettice introduced the development history of golems to Roland. Born into a family of magic, Lettice knew it very well. The golem technology of Lurna was also at the forefront of the world.
While somewhat cumbersome, clay golems are simple to manufacture and mass-produce, making them the most common. In the former Lurna nation, there are even some clay golems specifically designed for heavy work.
A student taking the test walked into the open space in the middle. The invigilator waved his hand, and a golem holding two swords came to life and attacked the student.
This student, seemingly only at Sequence 3, held a scimitar and wore light leather armor. Seeing the golem approach, he prepared to engage it flexibly.
The surface of the khaki golem is a hard block of mud with many tiny cracks in the middle. The iron knife in its hand is a little rusty, but it still makes gusts of wind when it is swung, and occasionally collides with the opponent's scimitar, making a metallic vibration, appearing very thick.
After circling a few times, the student found an opportunity, dodged behind the golem, and plunged his blade into a gap. With a flash of light, he prepared to tear the golem apart. However, the scimitar made only a small cut before it became lodged in the hard mud. The golem also turned at that moment, and the handle of the blade twisted, nearly causing the student to fall. He had no choice but to abandon the blade.
Afterwards, the clay golem continued to swing the iron knife. Since the student had no weapon, his other extraordinary abilities could only cut shallow wounds, and he was unable to knock down the solid golem. In the end, he was forced into a corner and was defeated.
"Combat evaluation. 40 points." The invigilator announced mercilessly.
"No! Teacher, can you give me another chance? I was too radical and overestimated my own strength." The student stood anxiously on the side, begging constantly, but the teacher remained unmoved and the situation came to a standstill for a while.
"Teacher, can you give this student another chance?"
At this moment, a girl walked out of the crowd. She had long dark purple hair and a beautiful face. In Loran Hill's opinion, she was only slightly inferior to the Feng Naibi in his memory.
As the girl spoke, more voices echoed in the crowd.
"That's right, give them another chance. The school won't lose anything."
"Alas, it's not easy for me either."
"As expected of Osuna, she is really kind-hearted."
"You know, I heard from the teacher that Osuna might be a witch." A girl gossiped with her classmates, and then others were also curious about this statement.
"Really? Didn't they say that no new witches appeared for a long time?" A companion next to him said in confusion.
"Really? Think about it. Osuna is only Sequence 4, yet her strength far surpasses Sequence 5 and is close to Sequence 6. That's quite extraordinary, isn't it? And during the holidays, I even saw her take down a group of Sequence 5 monsters with a single wave of her hand."
Seeing that her classmates were still a little unconvinced, the girl continued, saying that although such cross-class strength was rare, there were always a few geniuses who could achieve it every year, and it was not yet at the level of a witch who could wield power.
"Teacher Adachi once commented that Osuna's performance was like that of a witch. Everyone in Class 8 heard it, and I can't lie about that."
"Is it the elf teacher who has lived for more than 500 years?" Some students began to believe it.
"Yes, it's the gray-haired elf teacher. His style has always been rigorous, so he definitely didn't say that nonsense." The girl continued to nod, and then the students in the same class also echoed that Teacher Anda did make such an evaluation at the time.
Only then did some students become curious and turned their eyes to Miss Osuna, constantly speculating about this new witch.
The word "witch" was once taboo, but it gradually faded. Today, the world of Ivar has a mixed opinion of witches. Some believe that some witches act recklessly and bring much misfortune to the world, while others believe that witches have made irreplaceable contributions to the rise of humanity and cannot be erased.
But these are just evaluations on paper. If it were those witches who have been famous for a long time, no one would dare to provoke them, but if it was a new witch, people would be particularly curious and concerned.
Are all witches beautiful? Are witches immortal? Do witches have special powers? A series of questions would swirl in my mind, eager to find answers.
Seeing so many people booing and agreeing, the invigilator frowned and said, "Get out of here after the test is over, otherwise you will be marked as 0."
