...
Inside the principal's office, Lin Feng, who was leisurely drinking tea, suddenly heard the system's prompt in his mind.
His hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Old Feng?"
Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"This is a heavyweight figure."
"In the original work, Old Feng was not only a nine-ring Titled Douluo, but also an eighth-rank Saint Craftsman Blacksmith! For the current Shrek Academy, his joining is quite good; one could say he arrived just in time."
"However, when his gaze fell on the second reward's name, the expression on his face became a bit strange."
"Zhang Yang?"
"If I remember correctly, this name should correspond to Zhang Yangzi from the Zero Class of East Sea Academy in the original work, right?"
"His Spirit was the Dark Fantasy Magic Eagle. Although he had quite a few scenes in the early stages, he was at most a supporting character with potential."
"When he left East Sea Academy, Zhang Yangzi's cultivation was only at the second ring. This has been directly buffed to a Titled Douluo?"
"But then again, there are only so many characters in the original work that can trigger rewards. No wonder there was a 'Just Entering Shrek Academy' version when Xu Xiaoyan and the others appeared; it turns out it was waiting for him here."
He checked the data card.
"His name was Zhang Yang, and both his appearance and name had changed from the original. Only his Spirit and early experiences remained the same, while his future trajectory had changed, making it difficult to confuse them."
...
Second Assessment Area.
"Whew... whew..."
Wang Donger was panting heavily. Her originally rosy face was now pale, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
Cai Yue'er stood to the side, holding the recording form, and gave Wang Donger a faint glance.
"6 points."
Her voice was as cold as ever, without a hint of emotional fluctuation.
Hearing this score, Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other. Not only did they not show dissatisfaction, but a bitter smile appeared on their lips.
If it were before, Er Ming would have definitely jumped up and cursed.
But now... after feeling that pressure, they even wondered if Cai Yue'er had secretly gone easy on her.
Of course, what the two didn't know was that the pressure they and Wang Donger endured was not the same.
"Thank you, teacher, for showing mercy."
Da Ming cupped his hands.
Cai Yue'er ignored his pleasantries and turned to walk toward the next room.
"Third stage: Spirit Demonstration."
Wang Donger steadied her breathing slightly and turned to look at Da Ming and Er Ming. Her large eyes blinked as if asking if she really had to show everything.
Da Ming nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Qi, don't hide anything."
"Since you've come to this Monster Academy, show off all your skills!"
"Yes!"
Having received an affirmative answer, Wang Donger took a deep breath.
"Buzz—"
With the surge of spirit power, a pair of extremely gorgeous blue butterfly wings suddenly unfolded behind her!
Light Goddess Butterfly!
Immediately following that.
Wang Donger did not stop her movements. She clenched her left hand, and a heavy and domineering aura instantly erupted!
A small, pitch-black hammer appeared in her palm.
Clear Sky Hammer! Twin Martial Souls!
After the demonstration, Wang Donger withdrew her Spirits and looked at Cai Yue'er with some expectation.
"This time, she should finally get a high score, right?"
Cai Yue'er looked at the young girl in front of her, then made a mark on the form and said calmly.
"8 points."
"Yay!"
Wang Donger clenched her small fists, and a happy smile finally appeared on her face.
"8 points! That's a high score!"
However, before she could be happy for long, Cai Yue'er led them to the fourth room.
"Fourth stage: Second Profession Assessment."
Cai Yue'er pointed at the rows of strange-looking workbenches and instruments in the room and said,
"Demonstrate your skills outside of Spirit Master cultivation."
"Second Profession?"
Wang Donger and the other two looked at each other, completely bewildered.
"What's that?"
Er Ming scratched his head.
Cai Yue'er frowned, seemingly finding the ignorance of these three people somewhat unbelievable.
"For example, Blacksmith, Mecha Manufacturer, Mecha Repairman..."
She listed a series of terms and then looked at Wang Donger.
"Have you... never learned any of these?"
Wang Donger shook her head awkwardly, her small face turning bright red.
"N-No."
Da Ming and Er Ming were also looking embarrassed.
"To think you haven't even dabbled in the most basic auxiliary professions..."
Cai Yue'er shook her head in disappointment, and the pen in her hand fell mercilessly.
"0 points."
"Uh..."
The three felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe, and the joy they felt just now vanished instantly.
Fortunately, she passed in the end with a score of 62.
"Qualified."
"Phew—"
Hearing those words, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
"That's great!"
Wang Donger was so excited she almost jumped up, grabbing Da Ming's hand and hopping around.
"Big Dad, Second Dad! I passed! I'm qualified!"
"Good, good, good! Our Xiao Qi is the best!"
Da Ming and Er Ming were also all smiles. They had finally completed the task Tang San had assigned.
"Since you've qualified." Cai Yue'er put away the form and turned to say, "Follow me; I'll take you to assign your dormitory."
"Wait!" Da Ming quickly took two steps forward, leaned in next to Cai Yue'er, rubbed his hands together, and said with a fawning smile.
"Um... Teacher."
"Could you... let our Xiao Qi pick a dormitory herself?"
"After all, it's the child's first time away from home. We also want to pick a place with a good environment and friendly roommates for her..."
Cai Yue'er stopped her steps and glanced at him, but she didn't refuse.
"Dormitories are originally chosen by the students themselves."
As she spoke, she flipped her wrist and took out a spirit tool screen similar to a tablet from her storage soul tool, tapping it a few times.
"All the remaining vacancies are here."
"Red indicates someone has already moved in, and green indicates a vacancy."
"Most of these are double dormitories. "Da Ming and Er Ming quickly leaned over.
Soon, Er Ming's eyes lit up, and he pointed at a red dot on the screen and shouted. "Here! This one! We choose this dormitory!"
Cai Yue'er followed Er Ming's finger, and her brow immediately furrowed.
"Huo Yuhao?"
"Huo Yuhao is a boy."
Cai Yue'er looked up and stared at Da Ming and Er Ming with a look as if she were looking at idiots.
"Mixed-gender housing? Do you want to ruin this child's reputation?"
"Ahem..."
Da Ming coughed awkwardly and said with a straight face.
"Well... actually, Teacher, there's something you don't know."
"Our Xiao Qi... is actually a boy too!"
"Right, right, right!"
Er Ming also chimed in from the side, patting his chest and guaranteeing.
"Our Xiao Qi just looks a bit delicate, but she's actually a real man! Living with that Huo Yuhao is just right! Just right!"
This was Tang San's instruction. Although the two of them knew it was ridiculous, they still said it. Although Wang Donger felt awkward, she didn't say much, as it had been agreed upon long ago.
Hearing this, Cai Yue'er's face darkened instantly.
"Bang!"
The spirit tool screen in her hand shook violently. "Do you take me for a fool?!"Cai Yue'er A furious shout, her eyes sharp.
"Light Goddess Butterfly?!"
"That is a Spirit that only appears on female Spirit Masters! It's common knowledge in the Spirit Master's world!"
"You actually dare to point at a young girl who possesses the Light Goddess Butterfly Spirit and tell me she's a boy?!"
"Do you really think Shrek Academy is the kind of ignorant place that doesn't even know this basic common sense?!"
"This is simply preposterous!"
