Longinus's Three Graduation Rewards!
Not long after.
Vargas, the teacher in charge of Longinus and his classmates' class, walked in empty-handed.
By this time, Haimer, Palmer, and the others had already returned to their seats.
Vargas walked up to the podium, took a Den Den Mushi) from his pocket and placed it on the table, then glanced at all the students.
Actually, there were very few people in the class, only twelve in total.
No way.
The Celestial Dragons don't have many children to begin with, and those who are exactly seventeen or eighteen years old are even fewer.
So the highest grade actually only has three classes.
Note that this refers to children whose parents are both Celestial Dragons. If one parent is not Celestial Dragons, the child will be dealt with immediately.
"Your assessment results are contained in this Den Den Mushi, but I believe you all know the truth, since the assessment standards are there."
Vargas was a burly man with a thick, reddish-brown beard and a somewhat fierce and stern face.
Haimer and the others below nodded silently.
The first item is a theoretical assessment.
This is a comprehensive written exam that includes knowledge of English Script, Wano Script, mathematics, military science, navigation, geography, astronomy, history, agronomy, medicine, philosophy, and other subjects.
There are five exam papers in total, with a total score of 500. Only those who score 400 or above can pass.
The second item is a music assessment.
Each student must choose an instrument, and the assessment will naturally involve playing a piece, which will be judged by several masters of the corresponding instrument to determine whether it has reached an excellent level.
The third item is the physical fitness test.
There are 5000 push-ups in total, with a passing grade of 3000. There are also 500 laps on a 500-meter track, with a passing grade of 300 laps.
The fourth item is a skills assessment.
In other words, it involves Swordsmanship, Physical Arts, and archery. You will spar with the examiners, and you will pass if you achieve an A grade in any one of them.
Of course, you can win if you have the ability.
The last item is a test of Haki.
That's right, it's Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.
Having passed the previous four tests, in order to obtain the title of 'Elite' and graduate smoothly, one must master and Awakening all Three-Color Haki.
If you have mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but haven't Awakening Conqueror's Haki, then you'll face a choice.
First, choose to graduate, and then join the God's Knights.
The advantage is that the Celestial Dragons are relatively confined to the 'Land of the Gods,' have more freedom and a wider range of activities, although they still have to spend most of their time in Mary Geoise.
Second, choose to stay at school and work hard for another year to try to Awakening Conqueror's Haki.
However, if one has not mastered either Armament Haki or Observation Haki, or has only mastered one of them and is considered to have failed to graduate, then one will be forced to stay at the school for a year.
The following year, if they still haven't mastered both types of Haki, they will be sent directly back to the 'Land of the Gods'.
That's why Vargas said that Buyamuzzi Haimer and others were aware of the assessment results.
After all, don't you know how many kinds of Haki you possess?
However, the results of the first four assessments are also very important, and they don't know how many points they got, so Vargas will have to make those results public next.
"Let's begin then."
Vargas pressed a button on the Den Den Mushi, causing it to project a virtual screen in mid-air.
The words "Graduation Examination Results of Class 1, Grade 8, Celestial Holy Palace Academy, 1501 of the Marine Calendar" appeared on the screen.
"First of all, I can tell you that this year, only one student in the entire grade will be able to graduate directly with the title of 'elite'."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon someone below.
This also caused the eleven trainees, including Buyamuzhi Haimer and Sheele Par, to subconsciously look at Longinus, who sat in the center with an indifferent expression.
"That's right, it's Cassius Longinus!"
At the same time, Longinus's test scores appeared on the virtual screen.
[Theoretical Examination: 486 points]
[Music Assessment: Piano Performance / S]
[Physical Fitness Assessment: Push-ups/5000, Laps/500]
[Skill Assessment: Swordsmanship /S, Physical Arts /S, Archery/A]
[Haki Test: Conqueror's Haki /√, Observation Haki /√, Armament Haki /√]
"Waaaaah----"
As soon as the form was displayed, all the students except Longinus gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Longinus.
"While Longinus's achievement is indeed remarkable, it's not surprising when you consider his performance over the past three years."
Vargas looked at Longinus with eyes full of admiration and respect.
"He gets up two hours earlier than you every day, and then braves the wind and snow to train his physical fitness and practice wielding a knife."
"Between seven and eight in the evening, while you're resting and having fun, he'll only be seen in the library."
"He also used Saturdays, Sundays, and the seven days he went home for vacation every three months to practice Swordsmanship and Physical Arts, and actively sought out instructors to spar and exchange ideas."
To be honest, this is the first time he has ever seen someone so self-disciplined.
Keep in mind that three years ago, Longinus was only fifteen years old, yet he was already forcing himself to get used to this rigorous lifestyle.
This shows that the other party has an extremely firm belief!
After hearing what he said...
Sheele Par and the others fell silent.
Some of them had previously mocked Longinus's rigidity and stubbornness behind his back, thinking that as long as he could pass, that would be enough.
Most people actually just want to join the God's Knights.
As for graduating successfully as an 'elite Celestial Dragons,' that's purely a matter of personal luck.
They believe that Conqueror's Haki has nothing to do with effort; some people naturally possess it, while others can never acquire it no matter what.
In addition, they are Celestial Dragons.
In theory, everyone has the potential to Conqueror's Haki. Whether one Awakening not, given that human intervention is limited, doesn't it simply depend on individual luck?
The main Sea Star is that, to date, I've never heard of anyone Awakening Conqueror's Haki through hard work.
Even if he suddenly Awakening one day, people will only think that he always had this talent.
"Next up is Buyamuzzi Haimer's score."
[Knock knock knock]
Just then, there was a knock on the classroom door from the outside.
Vargas frowned, but still said, "Please come in."
Then the door was pushed open, and a blond young man with long legs and an estimated height of over three meters walked in with a bright smile on his face.
"Excuse me, the headmaster would like to invite Cassius Longinus to his office for a chat."
Vargas nodded after hearing this, looked at Longinus in the audience, and said, "In that case, you should go with Rosinante's assistant."
"Yes."
Longinus stood up and, under the envious gazes of everyone, followed Rosinante out of the classroom.
The two walked one after the other in the corridor, the crisp sound of leather boots on the stone slabs ringing in their ears.
"Longinus, there are three big surprises coming your way, so be sure to look forward to them!"
Rosinante walked and laughed. Although he was the principal's assistant, they were both eighteen years old, and had become friends over the years.
"Three?"
Longinus raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "I remember the school rules say that graduates can obtain a high-level resource, such as Devil Fruit or Famous Sword."
"Yes, that's true, but the principal said that two more awards were just sent over from above, specifically for you, saying that geniuses should be treated like geniuses."
Rosinante patted the other man on the shoulder and said with a sigh, "Looks like you're being valued. Congratulations!"
"Can you reveal what it is?"
"Wouldn't it be less fun if I told you beforehand? It's just a few more steps, don't be impatient~~"
Rosinante shook his head with a smile, refusing, but Longinus shrugged dismissively.
"You can probably guess even without me saying it. It's nothing more than a Devil Fruit, and since I'm a swordsman, I should also have a sword."
"As for the third one, hmm, could it be some Teigu from Otherworld?"
