"Okay." Hearing this, the professors nodded.

They looked at each other and knew what was going on.

The professors actually knew that it would be an honor for the school board to come to assess a D-level student, and it was even more impossible for them to condescend to set the questions.

But what shocked them most was that the school director was so young.

Before this, they had never heard of any school directors.

After all, Norton University is different from other universities. It is mysterious, but it can rank first in the world.

No one knows the source of funding behind Norton University, but there is no obvious investor.

Therefore, unlike other cooperative schools and private schools, we do not have a school board that can make decisions on all major school affairs.

All major matters at Norton University are decided by the president alone.

Now there is suddenly a new school director, and she is a girl. Could she be the principal’s granddaughter?

But the professors have never actually met the president, so they don’t know whether there has been a change of leadership, nor do they know how old the president is.

"Student He, please get ready for a minute." A professor looked at his watch and said, "We will take turns to ask you questions."

He Xun was still in a daze and couldn't recover.

He looked at the girl, and his already tense nerves suddenly broke.

It was as if thunders exploded one after another in his mind, turning it into a wasteland, shocking his mind and making him lose all control.

This time, it was not Qingzhi’s public Q&A, nor was it a midterm exam, nor was it in class.

The girl sitting on top clearly didn't look down at him, but it made He Xun feel unprecedented pressure and humiliation.

The pride and excellence that he was so proud of were also shattered at this moment.

It was destroyed completely, with nothing left.

Ying Zijin is a trustee of Norton University?

But isn’t she just an adopted daughter of the Ying family, an ordinary person from the countryside?

How could such a person be related to Norton University? !

He Xun just felt cold all over, his blood was flowing backwards, and he just couldn't believe it.

"Student He?" The professor who was asking the question noticed something was wrong with him. "Student He, don't be nervous. I'll give you one more minute."

He Xun nodded mechanically, not knowing how his voice came out: "Yes, Professor."

But this one minute made him feel even more uneasy.

Especially the people he has always looked down upon, now have become the ones he has to look up to.

He Xun couldn't accept it at all.

"Student He, the question I raised is related to alchemy." After one minute, the professor said, "In your senior year, you will have an elective course called the Origin of Alchemy."

"As we all know, alchemy is a chemical philosophy and ancestor of the Middle Ages, and is also the prototype of modern chemistry. Many famous scientists in history have studied alchemy and promoted the development of chemistry, but modern science denies its existence."

"First question, please tell me what you know about alchemy. Second question, in your opinion, does alchemy exist?"

He Xun prepared a lot of information for this assessment.

But he never expected that the first question would be one related to alchemy.

They are all elective courses for the senior year and have nothing to do with the major. Who would take them seriously?

"I...alchemy, well, it..." He Xun recalled with great effort, "Its goal is to transform base metals into precious metals, and then, there is..."

Hearing this, the professors all shook their heads.

Although they would not force students from D-level colleges to understand these things, this kind of answer really does not seem like an elite from Norton University.

"You speak incoherently, without any logic, and your attitude is not serious." Finally, Ying Zijin's eyes fell on He Xun again, "If you are so casual, you might as well not take the exam."

She raised her hand and pointed at the door.

There was no joy or anger, and there was no emotion in his words, very calm.

"Get out."

When these three words came out, not only He Xun, but even the four professors were shocked.

The last string in He Xun's mind snapped, and he looked up suddenly: "Why do you want me to get out? I don't know, do you know?"

"I don't need to know." Ying Zijin propped up his head with a lazy look, "If you are really capable, you can take this position and you don't have to leave."

There is nothing more hurtful than having your words spoken back to you intact.

He Xun's face was extremely pale, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

He walked out in a daze, his steps were unsteady, he staggered and almost fell down.

"You guys continue." Ying Zijin stood up and left through the back door.

The four professors looked at each other for a while, then continued calling out numbers.

——

The vice-principal was waiting outside.

He was not afraid because no students knew him anyway.

After seeing the girl coming out, the vice principal hurriedly went to greet her: "Why did you have to come to the D-level assessment? I told you, there's nothing to see."

"It's nothing." Ying Zijin tilted his head and chuckled, "I'm helping someone get revenge."

I can still bear to touch her.

It's not okay to bully her brother.

The vice principal was surprised: "Who dares to touch your people?"

The situation was too complicated, so Ying Zijin didn't explain it, but just said, "I will stay here for another two days. Help me find my medicine furnace and make some medicine for you."

Although the alchemy of Continent O and the ancient medicine of China are the same, there are still great differences between them.

What alchemy cannot cure, ancient medicine can.

After more than two hundred years, Ying Zijin has no idea what the alchemy and ancient medicine worlds are like now.

But before, the alchemy world and the ancient medicine world would send people to each other's territories to exchange ideas every once in a while.

"Okay, okay!" The vice principal slapped his thigh, "I'll get ready right away."

After running a few steps in a hurry, he seemed to remember something: "Now that you are back, why don't you stay here?"

"There is also an SS-level college in the school called the Starry Sky Academy. How about I give you the position of dean and you teach the students?"

Hearing this, Ying Zijin pulled down the brim of his hat and said, "Oh, you didn't realize that I'm already dead."

“…”

——

Because there were 500 people, the assessment of the students in the D-level academy lasted for three days.

Just as the professors expected, only nine people passed the assessment in the end, while the rest all failed and their degree certificates were revoked.

Although the students were very disappointed, they had no choice but to accept it.

It's because they didn't pay attention in some classes, so when they were tested on alchemy and astrology, they really couldn't answer them.

When moving out of the school's temporary accommodation building, several students were whispering.

"But what about He Xun? His name was directly posted on the school's external campus website."

"Isn't this telling others that he was expelled from school? That's too tragic."

He Xun couldn't accept it either.

Of course he knew who instructed the school to do this.

But when he wanted to see Ying Zijin, he couldn't see her at all.

"Mr. He, don't tell me you are no longer a student of the school. Even if you were, you can't just meet the school director whenever you want." The professor at the door stopped him and smiled in a formal way, "Excuse me, what qualifications do you have to clamor to meet the school director?"

"She's not fair!" In addition to humiliation and anger, He Xun felt more angry, "We all failed the assessment, why am I treated differently from others?!"

This was clearly telling the world that he was no longer a student at Norton University.

"The school director said that this depends on what you did in the past, Mr. He." The professor said tactfully, "Give someone a taste of his own medicine. Mr. He is Chinese. Does Mr. He understand this principle?"

He Xun's expression froze.

Thinking back to what he had done in Qingzhi, the color on his face faded little by little.

At first he didn't like students like Ying Zijin because she was a poor student.

Later, because she was too aloof, she followed the school bully to bully her classmates.

So he will treat them differently.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. He, the school director specifically asked me to bring you a message." The professor pushed his glasses and smiled again, "She said that her ability is greater than you think."

"There is another thing that I need you to see."

As he spoke, the professor placed a copy of the document in front of He Xun and reminded him, "Remember to return it to me after you've read it."

He Xun's back was tense, and it took him a long while to finish the document.

This is an acceptance letter.

Unlike the invitation letter, the admission letter is the official document issued by Norton University and will also be recorded in the student record.

The invitation letter only invites the students selected by Norton University to come to Norton University. After the inspection, the admission letter will be issued.

This is something even more valuable than an invitation.

He Xun lowered his head with a stiff expression and saw the words on the admission letter.

Norton University SS-level college.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Wen Tinglan.
