Chapter 61 - The First Test Summary Conference

Moss arrived at White Deer High’s grand hall the following morning. The school would only use this place for significant events, proving that the higher-ups valued the test summary conference greatly.

Moss was forty-five minutes early to the test summary conference when he arrived at the grand hall. Nonetheless, more than half of White Deer High’s students had already arrived.

Several students poured into the grand hall through the four doors and found their seats. The students looked at the stage expectantly and whispered amongst themselves.

When one of the students found his seat, he started talking to another student in a low voice, “Hey, the lineup looks intimidating. Is the test summary conference happening here?”

“Yeah, it seems that this test is crucial. Oh, have you heard the news? A grade two student from class two took first place in the Mystic Realm and even defeated the Mystic Realm Boss!” The student widened his eyes and spoke with envy.

“I’ve heard about that from a few of my juniors. They also told me that Moss is a Knight of all things. How could he be so powerful? There was also a Sword Master in the same Mystic Realm as Moss, but Moss managed to beat him easily.”

“I can’t wrap my head around how a lousy Knight can perform so well. Moss must’ve brought along good equipment and potions.”

“No, his family is just an ordinary family. Otherwise, he would’ve used a better class change scroll.”

Just as the two discussed animatedly, Alan and Ell arrived. They quickly located Moss and sat beside him. After excitedly waiting for the past forty-five minutes, it was time for the first test summary conference.

The grand hall was fully occupied at that moment. The school’s director and other higher-ups sat upright on the stage. Since it was time to start the meeting, a tall and handsome male teacher in a Chinese tunic suit approached the podium and spoke to the students below, “Dear students, the test summary conference is about to begin. I would like to inform you all about the meeting’s process.”

“In just a short while, the school’s director will give a speech. Then the school’s director will summarize the test and commend the outstanding students. I will now invite the director to the stage.”

When the male teacher finished speaking, the audience erupted into thunderous applause.

Then the director walked to the podium with a thick stack of manuscripts. He cleared his throat and said to the students, “We have gathered grade three students to hold a test summary conference. This meeting aims to summarize your experiences so that you can learn from them.”

“The greatest harvest of this test is chivalrous spirit. It is a spirit that embodies humankind’s desire to protect others. It has deeply affected me and every teacher present.”

As the director spoke, he smiled in Moss’s direction.

“The student who ignited our spirits is none other than Moss from class two! He used the most primitive and regular class, yet he showed us great chivalrous spirit!”

The director pointed his hand at Moss as he spoke. Several students cast envious gazes toward moss simultaneously, causing heated discussions amongst the audience.

“Senior Moss is excellent. This is the first time the director has praised a student by name, especially on such an occasion. He is indeed worthy of being my idol.”

“Moss? Isn’t he the second-grade genius who awakened the Knight class?!”

“What kind of abilities does Moss have to make the director bend over backward for him?!”

The students spoke from all directions, but several other students looked forward to what the director would say next. The director stroked his hair, which he didn’t have much of, and continued to speak solemnly.

“At the higher-ups’ request, White Deer High will carry out an educational reform. This will be the preliminary attempt at our school’s reform.”

“Some students have disappointed us during the Mystic Realm Test and even angered us. This person attacks fellow students, causes trouble for others and abandons their companions. We never expected to have such a student here at White Deer High. This is simply the greatest humiliation we’ve received since we founded this school.”

Class one’s teacher felt like she was sitting on pins and needles when she heard this. Her neck turned red, and she dared not look at the angry students below the stage.

The director glared in Cullen’s direction for an entire minute before continuing, “Besides that, the test achieved excellent results. Twelve classes had entered six Mystic Realms. Our students managed to conquer four of the six Mystic Realms in the end.”

“We consider this an outstanding result for the sophomores even though they were in the early stages of their awakening. Students like Moss, Mill, and Bass performed up to our standards.”

The director paused before looking at Moss and the others. Then he continued, “I would like to give special thanks to Moss. Even though he has only awakened an ordinary Knight class, he has displayed the class’s full potential.”

“He has continuously shown his skill, surprising us repeatedly through his hard work and determination. Moss continued to face his difficulties while protecting others.”

“He remained calm even when the Mystic Realm Boss went through a terrifying mutation. Moss protected his schoolmates with no regard for his life, leading everyone to victory, conquering the one-star Mystic Realm.”

Under the director’s guidance, thunderous applause echoed throughout the grand hall. Then the audience’s discussions became even more intense.

“Wow! The Mystic Realm Boss mutated? That’s simply unimaginable.”

“Isn’t the Knight class on the decline? How is Moss so powerful?”

“The spirit that Moss displayed is just touching. We humans developed this spirit when we first fought against Magical Beasts!”

“Senior Moss, bring me along whenever you raid the next Mystic Realm!”

Forty minutes later, the director finally finished his speech. Then the teachers representing their classes went up to the podium one after another for their speeches.

The students continued their discussions as the teachers spoke. Since the director spoke so highly of Moss, the students felt motivated. Everyone wanted Moss to be on their team.

Two hours had passed just like that, and the students became restless with anticipation of who would receive the final reward.

The director stood up as the handsome male teacher in a Chinese tunic suit brought along a long box and respectfully placed it before the director.

Then the handsome teacher turned around and approached the microphone. He said to the students, “The final segment of this conference will begin. It is time to present the award. Students, please let the director speak.”

The director’s gaze was sharp and imposing amidst the warm applause. He went straight to the point and said, “Today, White Deer High will honor a chivalrous spirit. A forgotten yet essential spirit!”

“Just as chivalry’s sacred flame got increasingly dimmer, an outstanding student appeared. That student is Moss! He reignited the chivalrous spirit with his hard work and perseverance!”

“After doing some research, we have decided to reward students who promote chivalry. The first student to accept this reward will be Moss!”

When the director finished speaking, he led the applause. Then everyone immediately responded with thunderous applause. The handsome male teacher spoke promptly, “Director, please award the two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword to Moss.”

Before the handsome male teacher could finish speaking, the audience burst into a thunderous cheer.
