Chapter 129
It was completely different from when he first entered the Enger Primary School for Supernatural Powers.
When applying to Engel, Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen only needed to attach a medical examination form with proof of their age and an element classification test form. They were then able to submit their application to their favorite school and wait for the school to review their application and send them an admission receipt.
In other words, applying to a primary supernatural school is something that has basically no threshold - as long as you are a student of appropriate age, have a healthy energy core, and have no congenital deficiencies such as being unable to display supernatural powers, then when you submit your application for admission, there will definitely be a school that will open its doors to you.
But the advanced supernatural school is different.
When Jiang Yunu first saw the syllabus for the entrance examination from primary school to senior school, she felt that it was very similar to the content she prepared for when preparing for the in-school competition and inter-school competition: both were from basic theory to practical application, and also covered multi-scenario application simulations in between.
Both theory and practical operation should be taken into account.
"Otherwise, how can you say that inter-school competition is beneficial for academic advancement?" Reiss Daniel is no longer the little girl's "main teacher", but whenever he has free time, he will still take the initiative to ask about Jiang Yunu's review progress and listen to the little girl's recent learning thoughts.
Jiang Yunu was still as familiar with Teacher Lei's office as ever, and noticed that the green plants on the windowsill of Teacher Lei's office had sprouted new buds.
"Then can I understand the entrance examination as a large-scale inter-school competition?" Jiang Yunu asked, while picking up the kettle to water the small green plants again, and even touched their leaves out of curiosity.
Reiss Daniel watched her movements, thinking that the small green plant on the windowsill was actually fully automatic. Even with the amount of water Jiang Yunu "force-fed" it, it would easily kill the plant. Fortunately, his flowerpot was also intelligent, automatically removing excess water from the soil, keeping the soil and plant roots healthy.
So the elegant male teacher pretended not to notice that a little girl was "brutally destroying the grass".
"That's understandable." Reiss Daniel nodded, ignoring the green plants and going to the drinks machine to get a drink. "But the actual entrance exam is, of course, much more difficult than the junior high school joint school competition."
Jiang Yunu put down the kettle and said bitterly, "From the memory size of the exam review database that Teacher Shasha gave me, I could tell that this exam was not going to be easy."
Because it was rare to see Jiang Luobo look embarrassed, Teacher Lei, holding a drink cup, smiled in a way that lacked teacher-student affection.
"But the syllabus content you can see only accounts for a part of the exam." After laughing, Reis Daniel gave Jiang Yunu a reminder.
The white-haired girl nodded and said, "Teacher Sasha also told me this."
Reiss Daniel: “…Oh.”
For some reason, Teacher Lei felt a subtle sense of disappointment. This was probably because he used to be Jiang Yunu's primary source of educational information, but now, not only was he no longer the primary instructor, but the advice he could offer had become secondhand.
Teacher Lei has a little weird mood.
Jiang Yunu suddenly leaned forward and fell on his curved desk with a "bang" in an ungraceful manner. His flying hair brushed against Reis Daniel's hand.
"It's really bad civilization to do differentiated screening when resources are unevenly distributed!" Jiang Yunu complained with his face resting on Reis Daniel's desk.
Reiss Daniel was startled by the "bang" when she fell face-down. All his weird emotions flew away. He quickly grabbed the girl's collar and pulled her up to examine her. "Did the girl smash her face directly against the metal table? Jiang Luobo, although I often say that you are thick-skinned, objectively speaking, your thickness should still be in line with the normal level of the human body. You can't go head-on with metal!"
Teacher Lei parted Jiang Yunu's longer hair and tucked it behind her ears, then carefully checked her forehead, nose, cheekbones and other protruding bones for any red marks.
Jiang Yunu's face was pinched by the teacher, and he said vaguely: "Well... I won't rely on my looks to make a living in the future."
Reiss Daniel took the time to glance at Jiang Yunu's entire face, and held her chin, which was so thin that it almost hurt her hand, in his palm.
"You don't have to rely on your looks to make a living, but you can't ruin your face in advance and let your appearance affect your future livelihood." Res Daniel said objectively and fairly.
Jiang Yunu: "That shouldn't be the case."
Reiss Daniel: "If you hit it a few more times, it will be over."
Jiang Yunu knew that her teacher Lei had always been a refined man, a man who would take good care of his appearance as long as conditions permitted, so she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the refined man and make some "dangerous remarks" such as she felt that as long as she had a basic human appearance, it would be fine.
Jiang Yunu's face was carefully examined again by Teacher Lei Daniel. It seemed that Teacher Lei had to conduct an on-site review after the initial diagnosis. She could feel that the other party was holding her chin very carefully and gently, which made her suddenly smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Reiss Daniel's voice fell from above Jiang Yunu's head.
"Teacher Lei, you are my mother in school." Jiang Yunu said boldly.
"..." The hand pinching Jiang Yunu's chin suddenly became heavy.
But fortunately, due to Mutisa's kindness during the previous winter vacation, who told him that "your favorite student thinks you are like her second mother", Res Daniel was no longer as shocked as he was when he first heard this title, and he was able to restrain his behavior more rationally.
"...Can't you call me something else?" the male teacher raised an objection in restraint.
However, the little girl said sincerely: "'Mom' is the highest form of praise for me!"
Reiss Daniel was unwilling to admit it, but after hearing what Jiang Yunu said, he actually began to think it was okay, so let it be.
"Ahem."
Teacher Lei coughed twice and changed the subject.
"If there's nothing else, go back and review." Reiss Daniel released Jiang Yunu's chin and told her to leave. "You know that differentiated screening is the most difficult module. There are only a few days left before the exam. You should hurry up and review this part."
Jiang Yunu sighed and stood up: "I thought that with you, Teacher Lei, you wouldn't urge me to review harder, but would advise me to relax for a while."
Reiss Daniel said coldly: "Really? Maybe it's because I'm a stepmother."
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Jiang Yunu was impressed by Teacher Lei's ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and left without saying a word.
It is absolutely true that Differentiated Screening is the most difficult module.
The entrance exam from primary school to high school is a bit like a large-scale inter-school competition. The difference between the two is that the inter-school competition only tests students' mastery of elemental power knowledge and the practical application of power, with a more "playful" mechanical elemental beast competition. The entrance exam tests all the aforementioned items, and the difficulty is comprehensively upgraded, and "self-selected questions" are added.
"Self-selected topics" are used for differentiated screening.
Jiang Yunu was initially confused about the concepts of independent topic selection and differentiated screening. Qiao Yisen accompanied her in her bewildered research, but it was Xie Shi who finally explained, "Basic theory and practical application only constitute your 'basic score.' The score from the independent topic selection is your 'additional score,' and is also the 'differentiation score' that top universities will focus on during admissions."
Jiang Yunu immediately grabbed Master Xie and asked, "What is 'difference score'?"
She understands the additional points and basic points, but what is the difference point that overlaps with the "additional points"?
"This score will be factored into your overall score. The question types it represents, as well as your performance on the corresponding questions, will be an important factor in determining whether the school will admit you."
Jiang Yunu stared at Xie Shi with an expression of not quite understanding but eager to learn.
Xie Shi just "happened" to pass by at the time, and sat down next to Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen very "naturally".
He continued to explain in detail, "For example, if your self-selected topic focuses on the assessment of wind and water elemental abilities, then when your basic score passes the threshold and meets the basic standard for admission to advanced schools, when major universities begin to screen and recruit students who pass the threshold, schools like Diyao Academy, which emphasize fire and earth, will likely directly screen out your application—no matter how high your score is."
High schools with different focuses will have their own admission preferences. The score is only a pass to enter the admission threshold. Whether you can be admitted to the school of your choice depends on whether the "difference score" meets the school's "eyes", and whether the "difference score" is high enough to create a gap with other candidates with the same choice while meeting the school's eyes.
Jiang Yunu finally figured out the differences between the test scores of some modules, and she rubbed her little white hair.
"In other words, I also have to pay attention to the enrollment preferences of my target school, and then choose the ones that suit the school's preferences when I choose my own topics, and then try my best to get high scores in this module, that's all, right?" Jiang Yunu sorted out the information. She felt that this entrance examination was very similar to the "college entrance examination" and "independent enrollment" in the previous world.
However, Master Xie sighed.
"That's the theory," Shesh said.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yunu quickly realized from Xie Shi's attitude that something was wrong. There must be something she had not considered, or she simply didn't know about it.
"That's the theory," Jiang Yunu asked, "are there any problems with the actual implementation?"
Young Master Xie gave a smile that looked a bit helpless, yet also a bit mocking.
However, the object of mockery was not Jiang Yunu, but some imaginary target.
"The syllabus that Teacher Mudisa gave you doesn't show the complete content of the self-selected questions, right?" he said.
Jiang Yunu knew that Teacher Mudisa would never deliberately make things difficult for her students, nor would she hide any important information, so she remained calm, just a little confused.
She pondered, "Teacher, do you think... the rest is unnecessary information?"
Xie Shi seemed surprised by Jiang Yunu's reaction. He looked at her in surprise and said, "I thought I would see some special reaction from you... But yes, you are right. That's the reason you said - because the rest of the information is unnecessary."
