21 first
Early the next morning, the hall on the first floor of the teaching building was filled with people.
Arthur, John, and Lily were also mixed in the crowd.
Lily kept talking, John and Arthur were listening, without interrupting.
Arthur could vaguely guess the reason why Lily talked so much today was that she was too nervous and subconsciously used words to divert her attention.
Suddenly, a light lit up on the wall facing the door.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and turned their eyes to this light wall.
On the wall, a light curtain was completely lit up.
Lines of text appear—
"Assessment results are announced"
"Arthur: By"
"Maya Aegras: By"
"Chrick: By"
"Adang Connie: By"
...
"Lily: By"
"Jeffs: By"
...
"Ol Keane: By"
"John: By"
...
The assessment results are only published on the list of those who pass, and only pass, without specific scores.
After all, many open topics are too subjective and difficult to score.
However, although there are no specific scores, there are still some general rankings.
On the list, the higher the name, the higher your ranking.
In the end, only more than fifty people passed the assessment.
Although each assessment is roughly the pass rate and everyone knows it, it still feels tragic when it comes to face it.
Like the John Lily brothers and sisters, it was impossible to pass at their mid-to-downstream levels, but if they have good qualifications, there will be bonuses.
After all, talent is also a kind of value. As long as your learning level is acceptable, the Ghost Maze will not be allowed to pass.
However, although they both barely passed, their rankings were the last.
At their level, this result is normal.
Arthur's name is the first, which means he ranks first in this assessment.
He was not sad or happy, and he was very calm.
He has taken time to practice the previous assessment questions, so he is still very sure of his grades.
This ranking was also within his expectations, and it would be abnormal if it was not the first.
"Arthur, you are the first one!"
Lily came back to her senses and screamed excitedly, breaking the silence of the scene and attracting many attentions, either light or secretly.
Arthur is actually not particularly famous. Although everyone knows him, the focus is limited to his appearance.
After all, there are five batches of apprentices in total, and each batch has geniuses with innate talent. There are nearly ten people in this category who stand at the top of their talent.
Although Arthur has excellent qualifications, he cannot rank at all.
Although not many people have passed the assessment, there are some.
Although most of them are older apprentices who were robbed from other organizations, their age has long reached the standard and they just need to pass the assessment.
But he is about the same age as Lily John, and there are also people who passed the previous one or two assessments.
Either they have absolutely excellent qualifications, such as John Lily; or they have outstanding learning abilities, such as those who are very young but pass the assessment ahead of time; or they have both, such as Edith Perry.
These people are real geniuses in the eyes of all apprentices.
Among them, Prince Edith received the most attention.
Because he was the first to pass the assessment in this class of apprentices, and his talent was the best, he was handsome and noble.
Because of his age, Arthur has been delayed until now to participate in the assessment with the large army, so he was naturally ignored.
No achievements can prove himself, he is so beautiful, and he also forms a team with the famous twins John Lily.
All of this made Arthur always treat him as a soft-hearted young man and talk about him with relish.
Although Arthur has always occupied an absolute leadership position and has made the most contribution in this team, no one else knows it, right?
Now, when his name appears in the first row and becomes the number one person in this assessment, he finally begins to be faced with everyone.
After careful consideration, everyone finally remembered the fact that they subconsciously ignored.
Arthur has just reached the age standard and has excellent qualifications, and he is not a cabbage, and he has only more than ten people in full swing.
So - Arthur, a young man, actually has a high overall quality? Is it considered a low-end version of Edith Perry?
Everyone was a little confused when they came to this conclusion. This guy was hiding too deeply.
At this time, there was a circle of people next to Arthur.
Those who passed the assessment are quite reserved, at most they come up to say hello and make a familiar face.
Some of them were not inferior to anyone, and they left on their own after the list came out and did not participate in it.
Those who fail to pass are more enthusiastic, and they call each "senior" intimately.
Although everyone is not old now, at least they will not be stupid and sweet at the very least, and they don’t care much about their skin or anything else.
What's more, in the Ghost Maze, whether or not a title depends on age or qualifications, but only on their own ability, so it's not wrong to call Arthur "Senior".
Arthur frowned and didn't like this atmosphere.
He could not be so arrogant because of such a little achievement and change. There is no need to get to know these people who come to curry favor.
If he can maintain such an advantage, no matter what his attitude is, others will come to lick him.
On the contrary, if he falls behind, these people will come happily to step on it and let him fall into the dust.
Edith is a good example. He is arrogant, arrogant, and unpopular. But so what? Others can only look up to him.
So socializing with these people will only waste time, unless you do a long-term business like you do with John Lily, and even this is not necessarily reliable.
So, the question is here, are they worth it? The answer is self-evident.
So in the face of this situation, Arthur's way of dealing with it was to line up the crowds of people around him expressionlessly, and then take John Lily away.
He can't offend people if he is specialized in making death, and he can't waste time and human relations, as long as he can live on the face.
After all, the key lies in yourself.
...
John Lily's brother and sister's house, in the living room.
"Arthur, do you have any plans in the future?"
John asked seemingly inadvertently.
"What are your plans? Of course, you have to take one step at a time."
Arthur smiled and replied casually.
"Yeah?"
John frowned and expressed deep doubts about Arthur's answer, "Then why did you get the first place?"
"Do you think I can't get first place?"
Arthur asked rhetorically.
"You know that's not what I mean. I know your level very well. It's not difficult to get first place in the exam."
"The problem is, you have never been a person who likes to show off. I thought you would hide your weakness."
John replied.
He knew very well that if Arthur wanted to become famous, with his ability, he would never wait until now.
That's why he was confused and doubted the purpose of Arthur's doing so.
Arthur, upon hearing this, put down the coffee cup in the water and said seriously:
"Do you think I'm showing off? No, I'm just showing my worth."
"In the past, it was because it was unnecessary to be high-profile, but it would cause trouble."
"Now," Arthur sneered, "those who can become formal apprentices will not be far from being a bad person."
"Then the question is, the college has so many resources, and there are only a few good mentors. Why should I share them with you?"
"The more you score, the less you score, it depends on your value."
"If you choose to be like everyone else, you will be like everyone else."
Whether it is leaving the exam room early or the first place in this exam, it is all about showing your value...
PS:
As expected, I am still not good at writing this kind of content. I have been coding this chapter for four hours. Please give me a hard work vote. Come and kill me~
Arthur: Is it wrong to be good-looking? Why do you call me a little white face? The most handsome in the universe, haha~
Chapter completed!
