Cloud Thinking

When Colin arrived at Carter's College, he was received by Dean Philip. The two men seemed to be in a friendly relationship, complimenting each other and saying some polite words. After happily discussing and handing over some matters, they were taken to arrange accommodation for him.

The person who led the way was a student who usually helped the dean with some administrative affairs. He very professionally took Colin and other members of the association on a brief tour of the school. There was no need for an introduction, after all, Colin was a teacher in the college.

The training ground is rather deserted during this period, because the third grade students are busy begging for permission to get their academic performance reports. They will do whatever it takes to earn a few more points. At this time of year every year, teachers will hide in their offices, for fear of being pestered by students begging for points.

There was nothing beautiful about the empty training ground, but today a special scene appeared - an extremely flamboyant girl was sitting on the low wall of the training ground. She supported herself with her hands on both sides and swayed in front of the wall with her legs crossed. A gust of wind blew her red hair ribbon up, and her blue eyes were shining.

She just sat there, as if she was the center of the world. The sunlight favored her and sprinkled on her, almost immediately catching the attention of everyone present.

As soon as Colin saw Helia, his brows furrowed. Of course he remembered who this guy was. Such flamboyant red hair, no doubt it was Princess Helia who caused his son to drop out of school and broke his son's leg.

He thought that Helia appeared here to intimidate him. She probably guessed that he would do something to her test results, so she came to block him.

Ha! So she is really scared, right? That proves that I made the right move!

Even if you are a princess, so what? Don't you still have to obey me and obey my orders?

"Hello everyone!" Helia jumped off the wall with a smile and strode towards Colin.

The girl's body has fully grown. She has grown rapidly since she ate the dragon's heart. The day before yesterday, she borrowed a ruler to measure herself and found that she was already 1.76 meters tall, which is considered tall among ordinary people.

Because she was growing taller, her legs always cramped when she slept at night, and she kept complaining that she didn't want to grow any taller. But now standing in front of Colin, who was half a head shorter than her, she felt that being tall was so great. This feeling of looking down on others was simply too good to be true!

Especially Colin, no matter how much he hated Helia, he had to force a smile and look up at her. At that moment, Helia almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Teacher Colin, I've heard a lot about you." Helia extended a hand politely. She was so well-behaved and sensible that it was a little unbelievable. Colin didn't know what she was up to, but since Helia had taken the initiative to greet him, he couldn't pretend not to see it.

"Hello, Her Highness Helia. You are..." Colin was about to say a long string of annoying greetings when he was interrupted by Helia.

"This is the academy. I'm a student and you are examiners. How can an examiner bow to a student? If it gets out, people will say I'm bullying and disrespecting my elders. Don't you think so, Mr. Colin?" Helia didn't care about the other party's attitude. She withdrew her hand and said with a smile.

Colin smiled on the surface, but cursed in his heart. He had no idea what this guy wanted to do. Was he trying to intimidate him? But his attitude didn't seem like that!

Could it be that... Helia guessed that I would trip her up and deliberately hinder her in the assessment, so she came to apologize to him in public to please him?

Haha! You deserve this day! You deserve it!

Helia looked around, her eyes sweeping across the badges worn on the left chests of the people behind Colin. Most of them were fifth- and sixth-level magicians. She couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't there two examiners? Why isn't there another teacher?"

The old man said that two great elders of the association would be the chief examiners. Colin is an eighth-rank great magician, so there is no reason why the other one should be of such a low rank.

"Elder Alfie was delayed on the way. It is estimated that he will take another two days to arrive." The other association members who were accompanying him replied.

"But the graduation exam will start the day after tomorrow. Will we miss it?" Helia asked worriedly.

There was only a month and a half left until her eighteenth birthday, and Helia was in a hurry to go back. Such a grand banquet had to be prepared early, and as the protagonist, she would definitely have to go back to keep an eye on things, not to mention the long journey. If she was delayed on the way, she would probably miss it.

So she had specially applied to the college to take part in the earliest round of graduation examinations, presumably on the first day. If the other examiner couldn't make it, wouldn't this examination become a one-man show for Colin?

"Your Highness, don't worry. Even if Elder Alfie doesn't come, isn't there still Elder Colin here?" the man said, "If Your Highness is worried about the fairness of the assessment, then it's obviously unnecessary."

He pointed to himself and the people behind him and explained earnestly: "Each of us will participate in the assessment and grading. Although the examiner's score accounts for 50%, if any student disagrees with the grading result, they can apply to the association for a second review."

"So you can rest assured that there will be no so-called personal mistakes that interfere with work."

"Oh? It seems that you know that there was a disagreement between me and Elder Colin, otherwise you wouldn't say such a thing." Helia asked with a smile. She spread her hands innocently, "I'm just curious. After all, this is my first time meeting the Grand Elder of the Magic Association."

The man glanced at Colin's unfathomable expression, then looked at Helia's innocent expression, and touched his forehead nervously. He didn't know if he had said something wrong, so he quickly said, "So that's how it is. If Your Highness is interested, the door of the Magic Association is always open to you. You can come and visit at any time."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. I'll go take a look when I'm free later." After saying that, Helia stepped aside to make way for them. She even waved goodbye to them in a good mood, as if she just met them and wanted to chat for a while.

The student who led the way breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Princess Helia would cause trouble and implicate him, which would be troublesome.

Although Helia behaved as usual, Colin didn't think so. Helia was a person with a strong sense of revenge. Before, Talvin had only done something to her friend, but she tortured his son like that. Now he could directly interfere with her graduation assessment, which was related to her vital interests. How could she remain indifferent?

Humph! He will wait patiently for the next two days! As long as Helia dares to threaten him in private or do anything to him, he will immediately declare all her grades unqualified in the name of a student threatening the examiner!

But until the graduation examination officially started the day after tomorrow morning, Colin didn't wait for Helia to come to him. He also asked someone what that person was doing in the past two days, and the answer he got was -

Go on a shopping spree in the bazaar.

Huh? No, she doesn't care about the test results at all? ? ? She's just giving up! Could it be that Helia is really bad and she's sure she can't pass the test, so she doesn't care?

Looking at Helia walking into the examination room with big strides, humming a cheerful tune and shaking her head, Colin, the examiner sitting at the top, was a little confused, but he soon figured it out. No matter whether Helia wanted to pass the test or not, he would not let her have an easy time!

Because Helia applied for a cross-level assessment, directly jumping to the fifth level, her basic skills assessment was more difficult and more complicated than others. However, for Helia, it was just an assessment of magic power, magic control, magic quality and efficiency. She could cast high-level magic without a wand, so these were child's play for her.

Alfie was not there, and Helia couldn't help but sigh when she saw the empty seat next to Colin. As expected, she was afraid that she would be severely targeted today!

After Helia completed the full set of basic skills tests, she stood in the middle of the trial field, waiting for the examiners sitting in the upper seats to give her scores.

Although everyone from the association stood on Colin's side, in addition to the association, Carter College also sent teachers as examiners. Even if the people from the association lowered the scores, the teachers of the college would still give them a hand. After all, they were their own students, and it would be embarrassing for them if the grades were not good.

But it was obvious that Helia was an unlucky person. Wasn't it the academy teacher who protected her in the previous Talven incident? So it was no surprise that the academy teacher who served as her examiner this time was also from Colin's side.

However, she only scored 100 points out of a full score of 61 in the test.

Honestly, Helia was so angry that she laughed. The trial field was very empty, and she didn't hold it back, so her laughter echoed in the room, which scared the examiners sitting there.

I've always heard that Princess Helia's mental state is not very good and she likes to act crazy anywhere. Could she be going crazy now?

Although Helia's academic performance was very poor before, her practical course scores were never lower than 95. Moreover, during her time in the tower, she made up a lot of knowledge and spent a whole year reading and studying. Therefore, after returning to school, her academic scores were at least 80 points, making her an excellent student in every way.

And now, she is an excellent student who made no mistakes in the test, but only got 61 points. Do you think she wouldn't be angry?

Helia raised a hand and looked up at the examiners on the podium. "Excuse me, can I ask if there was any major mistake in my assessment just now? I don't really understand this result."

"The scoring details are confidential. If candidates have objections to their scores, they can report to the college after the assessment and apply for a second review." Colin said seriously.

In other words, no matter how unhappy Helia was or how dissatisfied she was with the result, she had to wait until the assessment was over before she could raise any objections.

Colin looked at Helia who was standing below with a thoughtful look, and couldn't help but sneer twice. As long as Helia dared to make a scene on the spot, he could directly deduct her points for not abiding by the examination room disciplines. It was reasonable and legal. At that time, it would be useless for her to find anyone, as so many people were watching!

But surprisingly, Helia actually endured it. She just shrugged helplessly, looking nonchalant, and said, "Okay, then continue."

In fact, the normal assessment is almost over here, because the second item is the academic performance score, which has been completed long before the assessment. All you need to do on site is to announce the final score, and then add it to the score of the first assessment in a ratio of 3:7 to announce the total score.

Finally, badges of corresponding levels will be awarded based on the total scores to complete the assessment.

The average score of Helia's regular quizzes is 95.7 points, which can be said to be very high, but this part of the score only accounts for %, and the remaining % is bonus points.

As for Helia's extra points, there is only one: killing a dragon alone. It is not known how many points the association's top management will decide to give her.

"Regarding the extra points for candidate Helia, the association has raised questions. The candidate is requested to accept the questioning on the spot." Colin read a document. He glanced at Helia's expression. She still looked nonchalant, which made Colin, who wanted to irritate her, a little annoyed.

"Well? If you have any questions, feel free to ask." Helia said calmly.

"The association believes that the candidate does not have the strength to kill the dragon alone. It is suspected that the dragon was killed by someone else, and Helia, you just took advantage of it. There is no evidence to prove that you killed the dragon alone." Colin said.

"Evidence?" Helia touched her pocket and took out a badge. She held it high, afraid that no one could see it. "This is the Dragon Knight Medal that Prince Eric awarded me at the awarding ceremony last year. This is the only one. Is this enough evidence?"
