Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 5 Novice Assessment_1
Previously on Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start...
The initial evaluation served as an extra test for high school seniors right before their graduation.
While the outcomes of this evaluation would influence their choices for testing locations afterward, it didn't hold much weight for the majority.
During the evaluation, specialists would safeguard them, allowing safe progression in levels.
Yet, the constraint of just twelve hours meant they needed to push hard to boost their power within that frame.
After all, such guardians from experts wouldn't be available daily moving forward.
Just those with powerful lineages could count on constant shielding from these specialists.
But who possessing a genuinely prominent heritage would show up at their modest Seaside Second Middle School?
The pupils here all hailed from regular households lacking strong ties. Thus, this starting evaluation became a rare chance for them to advance securely.
Typically, learners ought to seek partners excelling in damage at this juncture. Chen Mo felt a bit startled that Shen Bingbing had approached him regarding teaming up.
"I don’t know; I haven’t thought about it yet," Chen Mo answered following a brief reflection.
"I see you get along very well with Fang Datong. I guess you’ll team up. We also happen to have two people..." Shen Bingbing hesitated briefly, then went on, "How about we team up?"
"You’re a four-star combat profession; it should be very easy for you to find teammates with high damage output. Why would you think of teaming up with me?" Chen Mo eyed her oddly.
"I was thinking your summons could help pull aggro, so I could deal damage more easily," Shen Bingbing promptly explained her motive, seeming like she had rehearsed it beforehand.
Shen Bingbing’s explanation appeared quite reasonable.
Chen Mo found himself momentarily speechless.
As the pair conversed, the seventh students from Class Two and Class Four had finished their awakenings.
Following the recent emergence of a five-star profession, the overall atmosphere remained somewhat subdued.
Everything followed a rule of balance, and Seaside Second Middle School's fortune was no different.
Sure enough, the pair both gained one-star professions: one in combat and one in lifestyle.
With those two finished, it became number eight, Fang Datong’s opportunity.
Noting that Chen Mo had merely awakened a two-star combat profession, Fang Datong’s anxiety surged.
Though his grades trailed Chen Mo’s, he had diligently practiced. Still, even someone with Chen Mo’s strong scores had ’missed out’ on a high-star awakening. Fang Datong lacked assurance in his own prospects.
As Fang Datong entered the Awakening Array, Chen Mo held off on answering Shen Bingbing’s suggestion, shifting his attention to his close companion.
The Principal struck his Magic Wand, prompting three stars to manifest above Fang Datong’s head.
A three-star profession. In past years, the Principal might have highlighted it at least.
However, this year, three-star professions didn’t merit a public note.
At the same time, the number eight student from Class Three beside Fang Datong unfortunately awakened a one-star lifestyle profession and returned to his group’s area, his expression grim.
Observing the Principal’s indifference, Fang Datong exited the Awakening Array on his own, grinning as he moved toward Chen Mo.
To him, securing a three-star profession felt like a superb achievement.
"Mr. Mo, I’ve awakened as a three-star warrior! Awesome! I’ll carry you when we level up later."
During his words, Fang Datong spotted Shen Bingbing beside Chen Mo. His gaze flicked between Chen Mo and Shen Bingbing briefly, and he rapidly understood.
He plopped down laughing and remarked, "Bingbing, you awakened a four-star profession—that’s so awesome! Will you consider helping us out in this beginner’s assessment? I’m a warrior, so I can pull aggro. You’re a Mage with burst output. The two of us, with our friends, will be as effective as four. I’ll bring Mr. Mo, and you bring your friend from Class Four with the lifestyle profession."
The moment these words left his mouth, Chen Mo quickly responded, "No, thanks. I’m afraid I’ll slow you down."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Mo? We’re good brothers! There’s no such thing as slowing anyone down. I insist on carrying you!" Fang Datong proclaimed firmly, draping an arm over Chen Mo’s shoulders.
This action touched Chen Mo deeply.
"Alright then, I guess I’ll have to rely on you guys."
"Don’t worry! You just focus on safely summoning Little Skeletons from the back. As long as I’m alive, I absolutely won’t let you get hurt!"
Gazing at Fang Datong’s relaxed attitude, Shen Bingbing grinned and advised, "Although the warrior profession is tankier, you should still prepare plenty of healing potions. We don’t have any healing abilities."
"Of course! Even though I, Fang Datong, might not look the brightest, I’m not stupid."
As they bantered joyfully, nobody brought up Chen Mo’s two-star profession again.
Fang Datong showed great tact, avoiding any comforting words toward Chen Mo throughout.
Noting Chen Mo’s steady spirits during their exchange, Fang Datong experienced immense relief.
An hour flew by swiftly.
Besides the first five-star profession and the two four-star ones, the rest of the students’ awakenings proved ordinary.
Nevertheless, the day’s showings sufficed to ease Principal Shen Rulong considerably.
Seaside Second Middle School’s display today marked the finest in its records.
He eagerly anticipated notifying the Academy Alliance to seek a school elevation.
Should the elevation succeed, they’d gain extra resources for training areas and increased admission slots.
Even facing death in combat, he could face the former principals in the afterlife proudly, full of joy.
"Students, today’s awakening ceremony has concluded. According to the regulations of the Academy Alliance, all students who have awakened combat professions can receive reward funds. The amount will vary based on the star level of their awakened profession. You can use this money to buy some initial supplies and prepare for tomorrow’s beginner’s assessment.
Later, remember to submit your team lists. Be sure to gather at the school at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. We will dispatch experts to protect you during the beginner’s assessment!"
