Chapter 274: Let Me Handle This Exam (Supplement)
Qiao Sang turned to look at Shi Gaofeng.
Shi Gaofeng had never expected to be slapped in the face so quickly. He quickly tried to save face and said, "The remaining ninety-nine percent who didn't pass lack the qualifications to become a Professional Beastmaster."
Qiao Sang didn't comment. From the brief sparring session she had just witnessed, the examiner didn't seem to hold back as much as Shi Gaofeng had claimed.
And that was indeed the case.
"That Wu Ding is really something. He only tries out a couple of moves, and if he sees that the other person's Skill Proficiency hasn't reached Minor Success, he fails them. If he sees Minor Success, he lets them pass. How can the E-Rank Beastmaster Exam be judged solely based on Skill Proficiency?" One of the two seated examiners, a woman with wheat-colored skin and black hair tied in a low ponytail, complained.
"You can't say that", another examiner, a man who looked to be in his early twenties and wore a black baseball cap, said. "Skill Proficiency is the foundation for a familiar. For an E-Rank Beastmaster, it's too difficult to combine different basic Skills, so we can only look at the proficiency of each Skill."
"The requirement of Minor Success Proficiency isn't too high or too low for an E-Rank Beastmaster. As long as they meet the standard, it shows that the Beastmaster has put effort into training their familiar."
"Are you going to just look at proficiency when you conduct the exam?" the woman asked, frowning.
"That's impossible", the man said, stroking his clean-shaven chin. "What I mainly look at is the synergy and coordination between the familiar and the Beastmaster. Proficiency can always be achieved with resources and time, but the coordination with the familiar is what truly shows whether someone has the potential to become a Professional Beastmaster."
The woman's expression relaxed, clearly more in agreement with this standard.
"You should also lower your standards a bit", the man suddenly said, turning to her. "Look at you, it's been the whole morning, and not a single person has passed your exam."
"It's not that my standards are high. I really wish more Beastmasters could pass", the woman countered. "But the people I've examined just don't have the talent to be Professional Beastmasters."
...
"The one sitting on the left is commonly known as 'No-Chance.' If she's the one conducting the exam, almost no one passes", Shi Gaofeng said in a low voice to Qiao Sang, who was waiting for her turn. "I was examined by her last time."
At this, he sighed genuinely. "As long as I don't run into her this time, I have a ninety percent chance of passing!"
Qiao Sang glanced at him and slowly said, "According to the rule that setting a flag means certain death, the chances of her examining you are quite high."
Shi Gaofeng: "..."
"The one on the right with the black cap is relatively normal. The pass rate for those he examines is about fifty-five percent", Shi Gaofeng cleared his throat and continued. "With the three of them working together, at least half the people here will pass."
"You've done your homework quite thoroughly", Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Actually, she thought it was pretty much useless to know this. She should have investigated what kind of familiars the examiners had, which would help her choose the right familiar to send out.
But even if she had that information, it wouldn't matter to her... Qiao Sang looked at Fangy, who was excitedly watching the exam area.
Ever since she had bonded with Fangy, she had decided that no matter what familiar the other side sent out, she would participate in the exam with Fangy.
The exam proceeded quickly, with almost every two to three minutes seeing someone finish their test.
"Next, Shi Gaofeng."
The examiner for Shi Gaofeng was the man with the black cap.
The E-Rank Beastmaster Exam is the lowest requirement in the Professional Beastmaster exams. Although each examiner has different standards, there is still a noticeable difference in the abilities of those who pass and those who don't.
As a member of the Holy Water Middle School Team, Shi Gaofeng's strength was naturally unmatched among his peers. However, there was no age limit for Beastmasters taking the exam.
The examiners wouldn't lower their standards for fairness, regardless of the candidates' ages.
Shi Gaofeng initially struggled a bit in the battle, but fortunately, he and Pierceberry worked well together.
A wide-area Hypnosis Powder combined with a Leaf Blade that could change direction mid-flight caught the attention of the male examiner in the hat. Recognizing Shi Gaofeng's potential, he held back a bit and let him pass.
Shi Gaofeng excitedly waved to Qiao Sang, his eyes brimming with pride.
"Once you're done, get out quickly and don't disturb others' exams", the male examiner in the hat couldn't help but say after Shi Gaofeng waved for nearly twenty seconds.
Shi Gaofeng quickly replied, "I'm leaving right away!"
He gave Qiao Sang a "I'll wait for you" look and walked out with a heart full of excitement.
"Next, Qiao Sang."
Finally, it was her turn. Qiao Sang exchanged a knowing glance with Fangy and stood up to enter the field.
As soon as Qiao Sang stepped onto the field, she drew everyone's attention.
It wasn't unusual to see students in school uniforms taking the E-Rank Beastmaster Exam; while rare, they were not unheard of. However, a Flame Listener's Beastmaster was a different story.
After all, the Alliance had not yet announced the Evolution conditions for Flame Listeners, and there were no reports of a second Fangflare evolving into a Flame Listener online.
This meant that this child in a school uniform was the only Beastmaster in the world with a Flame Listener!
"Online, they say Flame Listeners have Psychic-type abilities. I wonder if it's true."
"It's definitely not true. If it were a Fire-type and Psychic-type combination, a Fangflare would cost at least a million. Look at the market now; Fangflares have increased in price, but they're still far from a million."
"Look how much younger she is than the last candidate. Can she pass?"
"It's hard to say. The Professional Beastmaster Level isn't determined solely by attributes. Although the Flame Listener is unique, it doesn't necessarily mean it's powerful..."
Many people whispered, their tones tinged with jealousy.
As the Beastmasters waiting for their exams discussed, the examiners also started arguing.
"Let me go. You've already tested three people. You should take a break", Wu Ding said.
"Ha, what's so tiring about this? We agreed to each test five people in a row before switching. This is only the fourth one. If you want to go, you can have the next one", the male examiner in the hat said as he prepared to step onto the field.
Talk about fairness, he just wanted to battle the Flame Listener!
Wu Ding pulled him back and said, "I won't beat around the bush. Let me take this exam."
The male examiner in the hat snorted. "Why should I?"
"I'll treat you to dinner after work. How about that new restaurant on Prosperity Street?" Wu Ding smiled.
The examiner was unconvinced. Every Beastmaster would want to face a rare familiar and get more exposure.
If it were any other time, they were colleagues, and he would have given in. But this was the only Flame Listener in the entire Alliance.
Dinner could wait, but missing the chance to examine the Flame Listener might mean never getting another opportunity.
Just as the examiner was about to refuse, Wu Ding added, "If you let me take this one, I'll introduce you to my sister!"
The male examiner in the hat paused, considering Wu Ding's offer.
Maybe it wasn't a bad idea...
"Damn! When did Wen Lei get up there?!" Wu Ding suddenly exclaimed.
The male examiner: "!!!"
He turned to see that Wen Lei, who had been sitting in the examiner's seat, was already standing in the field.
