Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 94: Chapter 53 Heart-to-Heart Q&A

```

Among the students participating in the next assessment, some commanded with calm, others incessantly instructed before entering, and some bellowed with rage during the assessment.

"Don't worry about it, just go for it! If you run again, I'll beat you when we get back!"

Atop the platform, a student with a fierce expression yelled down to the pangolin below.

"Squeak squeak—"

Threatened by both the illusion rats and the commands, the pangolin fell into a panicked dilemma, but perhaps it found the student above more terrifying, as it struggled to turn around, back against the wall, facing the two incoming illusion rats with a low growl.

"That's right, just like that, what's there to fear with a body full of scale armor?" The boy above immediately felt much better.

The fight began, and just as that student had said, although the illusion rats tore and bit, they were never able to inflict effective damage on the pangolin with its scale armor. After several bouts, the pangolin gradually forgot its fear and, in the midst of tearing and grappling, killed the two illusion rats.

"Sally, passed!"

After the staff announced the judgment, the students below were also abuzz with discussion.

"This works too? Using threats and intimidation, wasn't it supposed to be about 'bonds'?"

"Exactly, that boy's tone just now was really scary." A girl shared the same sentiment.

Hearing these discussions, the boy picked up the pangolin that had just competed, placed it on his shoulder and responded.

"What do you know! In a critical moment, there's no time for tears and gentle persuasion, you need to ensure that commands are executed."

"As long as there's a victory, there are plenty of rewards. It won't be mistreated, hmph."

Having said that, he proudly left the field with his 'companion' in his arms.

There were no restrictions on methods during the assessment, and everyone had their own interpretation of 'bonds,' showing off a wide range of skills. Some relied on mutual trust to help their 'partner' overcome fear, some used threats and intimidation to make their 'partner' compulsively execute commands, and others figured out the abilities of their 'partner,' making victory seem effortless.

Facing the difficult assessment, students were forced to make their own choices.

In the end, about 60 percent were eliminated, and the remaining students were less than one-third of the original number.

"We've tossed out the pretenders. We need to start being careful and serious about the next two stages." The top student in a black and red uniform leaned against the office window, shifting his gaze away from the projection on the desk.

"How many are left now?" She asked, and the other two in the room started looking up the information.

"There are 376 who have passed the second stage, and another 207 who have yet to report to the school."

The teacher kept writing, noting down 'literary girl' as her attribute.

"What kind of guy do you find handsome, Hexia?"

"I don't really have any particular feelings about that," the girl shook her head.

"Hmm," the teacher continued and recorded 'aloof' as her attribute.

"What do you think you'll become in the future, Hexia?"

"I don't know," the girl shook her head again.

"Mm-hmm." The teacher kept writing, adding 'cautious' to her list of attributes.

"What food do you like, Hexia?"

"I like chiffon cake, green tangerines, watermelon, tasty rice, grilled fish, hot pot, wontons, and pan-fried steak..." The girl meticulously contemplated and named quite a few things.

"I see." The teacher continued, jotting down 'foodie' and 'simple taste' as attributes.

"Can you make any of those? Could you talk about it?"

"Yes, for instance, chiffon cake is..."

As the teacher listened, he quietly erased 'foodie' and wrote down 'good at life' and 'action-oriented' instead.

"If you had to choose a dormitory to live in, which would you pick? Here, we have the Ring Bird Wind Tower, Forest Tree House, Purple Mansion, Lakeside Boat House, and Vine Courtyard—each with different perks."

"For example, students at the Ring Bird Wind Tower receive a book from the Academy and colored feathers each month; at the Forest Tree House, students get five T4 grade fruits and seeds every month; while those at the Purple Mansion don't get monthly gifts, they are able to pick a 'Dark Silver Level' Transcendent Blade and extra credits at the end of the school year; Lakeside Boat House students get three Luoyue gems and one 'Tricolor Sturgeon' monthly, a high-grade T4 food ingredient; and the Vine Courtyard gives students a potted flower and a 'Verdant Elixir' each month, which is great for consolidating Magic Power."

After listening to the teacher's description, the girl fell into contemplation. Each choice seemed appealing, stirring the heart, but in the end, only one could be chosen.

"Then, Ring Bird Wind Tower," Hexia decided after a moment.

"Why is that? Based on your previous answers, you seem to really enjoy good food."

The girl tilted her head slightly, blinking. "Eating is something I can do anytime, but reading is very important. Besides, I've always lived in a dim underground city before. If possible, I hope to be closer to the sky in the future."

"I understand." The teacher closed the record board.

"This is the final exam location, but there's no rush now—it won't open until 2 p.m., you can go get something to eat."

"We'll meet again later, Hexia. I wish you all the best." He bent over to thank Hexia before leaving.
