Hunting College

The forest of eight hundred miles was silent, and the river at ninety turns was silent. Coiled by the quiet riverside on Phuket Island, there are always many special visitors uninvited.

With superb magic skills and adept fighting ability, the students of the First University have always been leaders in the wizarding world. And now, this glory is carried on by the freshmen of this university.

As of this weekend, although first-year freshmen have only one semester to enter the school, even though they only scored a poor 4 points in the previous semester's "New Freshman Assessment" last semester, and on the admission class last semester, these first-year students still The banshees who had been maliciously broke in were stunned, but they still achieved great success in a short time.

This is mainly due to the performance of the freshmen of Jiuyou College.

Their freshmen won the championship in the newcomer competition of the school hunting club, and their points even surpassed the 34th best freshmen in the "Previous Freshmen Evaluation". In addition, among the first-year Jiuyou freshmen, the youngest Grand Arcana winner ever and the youngest Merlin Medal winner in the past ten years were born.

Some education experts regard the success of these freshmen as a successful example of Jiuyou's education method-Jiuyou College's total student points increased by 12.34% last year, and the total number of points is even comparable to Alpha College. In the school year summary at the end of last year, the new student union of Jiuyou College set the total number of points to surpass Alpha College as the goal of this year's work.

This trend may completely reshape the overall structure of the first university.

However, although it cannot be denied that Jiuyou College has rapidly increased student points, more details need to be considered when evaluating the success of the education method.

Like Alpha College, the score value of the student standings of Jiuyou College has shrunk significantly after the top 10% of the students-the top 10% of the students received 70% or more of the rewards, and the next 60% Students have received more than 20% of points rewards, and nearly 30% of students can’t even progress to the upper grades steadily-this means that Jiuyou College is strengthening its elite education.

"I have repeated the grade twice, and the professor told me this time that if the total number of points for this academic year is still insufficient, it is very likely that I will be dismissed." An old freshman from Jiuyou College, who asked not to be named, faced reporters. Asked, crying desperately: "I don't even dare to mention the school things to my family. I have always been the pride of the whole family to be able to enter this school."

This typical pressure permeates every corner of Jiuyou Academy.

Since Professor Yao Xiaomin took the post of Dean of Jiuyou College in 1990, the total number of points of Jiuyou students has been increasing rapidly at an average annual rate of 10%-setting a record for the entire first university. More than half of the points come from those ‘elite’ students, where there is a hidden rule: exams are everywhere.

Just like the danger of the evil demon in the Silent River not long ago, for the students of Jiuyou Academy, it was just a special exam.

"The spell we learned in the first spell class was'Ge Yu Lizhi'. I remember that Professor Yao called a three or four-meter-high gorilla to be our partner."

Facing the reporter’s interview, a freshman from Jiuyou College named Zheng Qing seemed very positive-he was one of the freshmen who hunted evil demon this time, and the hunting team he formed was a newcomer to the College Cup last semester The champion on the hunt. But what is more widely known is his nine-year college public-funded student, Merlin Medal winner, and the title of ‘World’ of the Grand Arcana.

During the interview, the reporter found that in the face of death, the boy named Zheng Qing had no awe of life in his eyes, but only the excitement of receiving a reward. Only when the reporter asked about the taboo experiment that some of his mentors were doing, the freshman became extremely silent.

The reporter can understand this silence.

According to the Beta Town Post, there is a "hidden rule" in Jiuyou College: Any student who publishes information in the public media without official confirmation may be deducted certain credits. In this way, the management of the relevant colleges clamped down on the students' freedom of speech.

For the students of Jiuyou College, nothing is more important than credits.

This is especially true for Zheng Qing who has the status of a public student and many titles.

It is surprising that the students in this college are chasing credits. In order to get praise from the professors, they often immerse themselves in the laboratory or library all night long. There is also a special "study interest group" in the Federation of Societies. People with excellent test scores are called "students"-they are respected like good hunters.

This kind of unrestrained diligence has something to do with the families of Jiuyou College students, most of whom come from Baiding families in the mortal world. Due to the unrestrained examination admission mode of Jiuyou Academy, many jugglers who have never been exposed to advanced magic knowledge also signed up for the examination, trying to mix into this long-established magic university.

Last year, more than 15,000 candidates took the "Uniform Global Examination for Higher Wizarding Schools" of Jiuyou College-this test is equivalent to the Alpha Academy's talent test-but the number of admissions was less than 150, and the acceptance rate was less than 1 %. The magic fluctuations caused by the exam were so frequent that the International Magic Security Affairs Department had to set up an emergency response office to deal with these problems.

Even passing the entrance exam did not reduce the competitive pressure.

In an institution where exams are everything, every freshman entering the school will have a credit card to check their accumulated credits at any time. From the beginning of enrollment to graduation and leaving school-insufficient credits will seriously affect students' campus life. Compared with Alpha College's emphasis on the guidance and development of students' talents, this system of purely emphasizing examinations is undoubtedly stifling students' nature.

In this suffocating environment, every successful adventure will arouse great attention from students. They regarded these adventures as a shortcut to earning credits, and did not consider the harm or even death threats caused by the failure of the adventure.

"Even if students admit the difference between blood and talent~www.readwn.com~, their choices are very limited." Zhou Buchu, a retired sociology professor at Jiuyou College, told the Beta Town Post: "So they can only Keep struggling hard."

According to a special report in the "College Daily" published by the Jiuyou College Student Union, the college management is happy to encourage credit acquisition methods such as hunting monsters as a harmless way of venting for students who are essentially enslaved. . The college is obviously supporting these hunting behaviors that exceed the requirements of the school syllabus-more Jiuyou College students will obtain points and win rewards through channels other than Jiuyou. This kind of special guidance is one of the more secret ways of ‘enslavement’.

"The college doesn't like students showing off their blood or talents," Professor Zhou Buchu sighed, shaking his head: "This is a trampling on the principles of running the college. Correspondingly, showing off achievements or taking risks is easier to be accepted by everyone."

The rigid education method, dangerous teaching content, and harsh examination mechanism not only suppress the nature and freedom of students, but also cultivate a large number of registered wizards who ignore life. But under the cover of the gorgeous results of Jiuyou Academy, these risks are like shadows in the sun and have been deliberately ignored.

"I heard that you can get credits for accepting your interview?" When the reporter finished the interview, these brave young people were already looking forward to the rewards on the credit list.
