Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 73: The First Examination (I)
On Friday, Kestrel Academy also ushered in the first exam of the semester. It's been two months since the new students entered the school, and for all the new students, this exam is a test to see how much talent they have in learning. Four classes with a total of 100 students will get the same opportunity, the same test papers and exam questions, regardless of the student's background, this time the opportunity is equal.
The exam is divided into two parts, the first part is a written test, and the second part is a skills test. The first part mainly examines students' military theoretical knowledge, history, mathematics, strategy and tactics, engineering theory and other subjects, which will be examined by candidates in the form of examination papers. The second part is an examination of students' skills, including equestrianism, swordsmanship, spear, bow, marching and cooking, and camping skills. These practical skills are all skills that freshmen must be proficient in, and they are things that any soldier must learn, and all the skills are only taught the most basic operation methods, and there will be more in-depth study and discussion in the future.
Stitch told Avi that he was going to have Avi take the first part of the exam, and that the second part of the exam would only require Avi to stand aside and watch him perform. Stitch claims that his swordsmanship and equestrian skills are the best in his class, but he doesn't have much confidence in the cooking skills test. The aristocratic imp who came to reach out for food and open his mouth often skipped cooking classes, and even camping classes did not go much, as if in his eyes, only martial arts-related skills attracted his interest.
Avi had already entered the state of preparing for the exam, and he attached great importance to this exam, because it was a dream opportunity for him to be able to study at a well-known military academy in the mainland. When Avi was a child, he was sent by his mother Joni to a private school to teach reading and literacy, and at that time Avi was full of curiosity about everything, but because he had not received an orthodox education, he was very lacking in all aspects of knowledge. In addition, Miranda never went to school, but she was knowledgeable, which also made Avi think that he only needed to go out to the outside world to see more, so that he could not read books or learn the knowledge in books. But when Avi studied at the Kestrel Military Academy for more than two months, he found that the world in the books was also rich and exciting, and there were many things in it that he had never been exposed to.
Avi's diligence and self-motivation have made many college teachers look at him, especially the history teacher Rost, and he even proposed to the head of the academy Dugor to give Avi the identity and quota of a student, but Dugor did not agree, and the head of the house only thought that the teenager who had fought with Wenlith in the banquet hall was a guard, a stand-in to help Stitch skip class. However, Avi knew in his heart that the reason why the head of the academy did not let him become a real student of the Kestrel Military Academy was actually because he was a native of the Oguna Empire, after all, the Kestrel Academy was an officer reserve organization of the Kingdom of Sarins.
The morning exams are coming soon, and there will be 30 minutes of time for each subject to answer the papers, and in order to test the physical and mental state of the students at the same time, the second subject will be examined immediately after the end of each subject exam, and there will be no break in between. When Stitch heard that this was the case for the second part of the exam, Stitch immediately applauded with joy, telling Avi and Felisty that he would never be able to read a book for more than half an hour, let alone face a paper with the same number of words.
Strangely, though, as soon as Stitch said this, he felt a stomachache and ran quickly to the thatched house of the Kestrel Military Academy. Avi had breakfast with the aristocratic imp this morning, and he immediately became nervous, afraid that his stomach hurt during the exam, which would affect his performance.
"Don't worry, that's my medicine," Felisty saw that even beads of sweat came out of Avi's face, "It's in the juice he drank just now, I guess he'll have weak feet today." ”
Avi was startled, "Why did you drugged Stitch?!What if he couldn't take the afternoon exam?"
"Then you can participate," Felisty curled her red hair with her fingers and smiled slyly, "I have nothing to do with him, and it's not my job to protect him, so it doesn't matter if he can take the test or not." ”
"But..."
"I know you've been studying hard," Felistie patted Avi on the shoulder and walked in the direction of the classroom, "This is your chance, I'm sure all the teachers, including the headmaster, will take your grades into account." ”
Avi quickly followed Felisty, he was very grateful for Filisty's help in his heart, and at this time he just needed to calm down and try to write down what he had learned on the exam paper!
The invigilator was Rost, who was still the same, first chattering a lot of precautions, and then warning the students not to cheat and to take this exam seriously. He would watch everything from the podium, and if anyone violated the rules of the exam room, he would expel the student and even remove him from the Kestrel Academy.
Rost had already put the ugly words in front, and the more than 20 students in this class were all from well-off families, so it was the first time they felt such a huge pressure. Most of the students took the test paper with trepidation and wrote their names with trembling hands.
When Avi got the exam papers, the first subject for the exam happened to be one of his favorite subjects - mainland history. The two-month history course focused on the history of the Kingdom of Sahlins, but also on the history of other places. The appearance of Rost's lecture reappeared in Avi's mind, and the questions that needed to be filled in the blanks with a pen were all knowledge that Mr. Rost had said personally. Avi wrote so well that he originally set aside thirty minutes for each student to take the exam, but here in Avi, it only took fifteen minutes to answer all the questions. From nervous to excited, from excited to satisfied, Avi took another five minutes to re-check. Each historical topic is like a picture, jumping into Avi's mind vividly. Such a three-dimensional picture of historical events is related to Rost's lectures, Rost is good at saying many things related to historical stories, so that these historical events are integrated and related together, and when Avi remembers one of the historical stories, other similar historical stories will appear together.
Rost has also been keeping an eye on Avi, who is not the first to finish the answers, but Avi is the first to check the test papers. A few of the students who were also good at studying looked a little proud, and began to sleep on the table as soon as they finished answering, only Avi repeatedly checked the answers he had written, which was extremely rare in this class.
After that, several exam subjects were carried out normally, and no one dared to cheat under Rost's nose, but there was news that two students in the next class had cheated on the exam, and the two were immediately arrested by the head of the house, Dugore, and I don't know if they will be expelled from school.
Avi didn't have time to worry about others, because the next subject to be tested was strategy and tactics. The teacher who taught this subject advocated that every student should treat war and battle as a picture, and strategy and tactics were the brightest paints and the most beautiful patterns on this picture. Every assertive officer must learn to discover the beauty of war, and find out how to let this beauty remain, and let this beauty become the beauty of victory.
When listening to this class at the time, the eccentric teacher made it difficult for Avi to understand what the other party was saying, but what made Avi find interesting was the book about strategy and tactics. A large number of tactical books are like treasures in Avi's hands, and he will pick them up and read them whenever he has time. The content of these tactics and strategies is always combined with the classic battles of history, and even the Battle of Dorette, which he himself participated in, has been added to the latest textbooks, which makes Avi very interested in this knowledge.
"Remember, we can always learn other things from history books, including foreseeing your future," Avi remembered what Rost said, and was very impressed, "Believe me, all battles and wars are just a repetition of history, they are dressed in new clothes, they appear in the world, and their new 'actions' become new history." ”
