Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 71 Rules Of The Assessment

At that time, each student would have the opportunity to go on stage and show their graduation project. The one with the highest score would advance to the next round, and the one with the lowest score would be directly eliminated.

This process would be repeated until ten outstanding students were selected!

The entire assessment system was divided into three processes, namely the preliminary round, the promotion round, and the round for outstanding student selection.

Generally, passing the preliminary round meant that the students' abilities had reached the standard, and they had obtained the qualifications to enter an organization.

The qualifiers were more challenging, and those who passed could enter famous companies or online companies.

Those who finally obtained the outstanding student certificates could pick any large listed companies of their liking, and they would become dragons and phoenixes among men.

As for those who could not pass the preliminary round, there was no better choice than entering the factories.

However, for the sake of a fairer selection, this design assessment would be divided into six categories. The projects would be graded by three experts and dozens of public judges made up of teachers, thus achieving objective fairness.

As long as the weapons forged had outstanding attributes or abilities in a certain aspect, they would not be easily brushed off.

This also gave those students who were partial to the subject a chance to compete. It was not to the extent that they would lose based on one aspect.

These six evaluation classifications were also divided into two major categories. One was the strength of the item itself, and the other was the enhancement to the user.

The evaluation dimensions of the item were durability, flexibility, and specificity.

As for the enhancement to the user, it was also divided into offense, defense, and control.

As long as the equipment forged had two or three excellent features, the probability of promotion was incredibly high.

However, these rules and regulations would only be used in the promotion round or the outstanding student round following the preliminaries.

There was only one rule in the preliminaries, and that was the stability of the forged weapon.

Provided that the student had sufficient knowledge, the designed and forged equipment would be relatively stable and not easily damaged.

After listening to the principal's explanation of the graduation assessment's rules, everyone's faces were filled with joy and worry.

Soon, the first preliminary round began.

Many students walked toward the assessment area according to the pre-set grouping. Wu Mo and most of the students were in the same group. They arrived at the assessment area together and queued up to wait for their turn.

There were a total of 617 students participating in the graduation assessment this time. The preliminary system would bring 617 students to 400.

At this stage, the blacksmith's relevant abilities just had to meet the standards. It was not difficult to pass the assessment.

The students in front walked up to the assessment platform one by one. They took out their carefully forged weapons and passionately introduced them. Then, they began the energy test.

It was called a test, but in fact, it was an energy interference.

If the forged weapons were still stable under the interference of a machine, they would pass successfully. However, the prerequisite was that the designed equipment had to at least be of Rare grade.

During the process of queuing up, Wu Mo saw many people's weapons being affected by the machine's energy interference. In less than half a minute, they exploded into a pile of debris because due to internal instability.

About seven to eight minutes later, it was Wu Mo's turn.

He took the Lightning Warhammer out of his Interspatial Ring and walked up to the assessment platform with a calm expression.

The three five-star blacksmiths sitting not far from him raised their heads to glance at him, indicating that he could begin.

At this moment, Wu Mo saw many teachers with familiar faces in the assessment panel. Among them was Professor Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan gave him a calm look and lowered her head, no longer moving. She was afraid that she would disturb her student's performance.

"Good day, judges. What I have forged is a hammer-type weapon. It is called the Lightning Warhammer. The concept here is that hammer-type weapons can not only be used for self-defense but also as tools for forging equipment. It is more suitable for me to use."

Wu Mo briefly described the mental journey of his forging process. Then, he placed the hammer on the rumbling machine conveyor belt.

The machine in front of him was nearly two meters tall. Inside the conveyor belt was a sealed steel pipe.

After the cabin door was closed, a magic array that could disrupt the energy of the weapon would be activated.

Only weapons that could hold on for thirty seconds and sustain no damage would pass.

Wu Mo's short speech surprised one of the judges.

Usually, in such a situation, students would talk about their ideals and the initial intention of designing weapons in order to pass.

Only this student, Wu Mo, appeared very calm.

Soon after the assistant closed the machine's cabin door, a buzzing sound came from inside.

The three judges and many teachers on the jury immediately looked at the screen on the side.

Through the camera in the cabin, they observed the equipment's situation.

As blue light shone, a magic circle was immediately activated.

A thick fog rose, and the energy turbulence within the magic circle tried to disrupt the energy within the equipment in a specific route.

However, the equipment that Wu Mo had forged was not only extremely dense, but the energy within it was also impregnable.

Thirty seconds passed very quickly, but the Lightning Warhammer did not experience the slightest change.

"Passed!"

After seeing the results, all the judges and other teachers unanimously gave him a pass.

Wu Mo passed the round smoothly and waited for the start of the qualifiers with the other students.

Among the students who passed were not only Jiang Mengyao but also Han Cheng and Jing Yuan, who had previously accepted the mission, as well as their class monitor.

The rules of the qualifying round were strict and diverse. Each student's ability would be displayed.

At the same time, it was also the segment that Mayor Zhao Lu was most invested.

During the assessment, the figure of the Divine artifact would inevitably break through layers of obstacles and become the most dazzling new star!

Not long after, the first preliminary round ended.

Countless people were sent out of the great hall in dejection. There were even some who were not in a good mood, crying their eyes out.

It was indeed a pity that their many years of forging careers had ended just like that.

The assessment was cruel. One could not relax just because of one's family background or other reasons.

The qualifying round that followed was divided into three assessment zones.

Wu Mo was scheduled to take the second assessment zone. The three experts there were the principal of the Divine Arms Academy, the special guest, the mayor of Shanglin City, and Zhou Jinlong who had rushed over from the National Artifact Research Department.

Although the mayor was not a professional blacksmith, because he had used many pieces of high-grade equipment and had seen a lot of things, the others did not find a problem in him being a judge.

The qualifying round soon began, and the first student walked onto the examination platform.

The student took out a short gun. It was awe-inspiring and had a red tassel tied at the end; it looked really good.

However, appearance was not included in the six aspects being judged.

It did not take long to welcome the short gun's first test.

A large black instrument was then transported to the assessment field, ready to test its durability.

The aim of the test was to throw the weapon or equipment into the casting instrument and squeeze it. If there were no changes or if any slight deformation did not affect it, then ten points would be awarded.
