Episode 119. Midterm Exam
Ibeka’s exam period was quite stressful for the students as well as the teachers.
It was because of the test questions.
“I believe everyone has thoroughly prepared for the exam. It is the last day of the semester and the most important thing for students, so please try a little harder!”
The principal left with some words of encouragement.
It was not the principal but the deans of each department who administered the midterm exams.
All exam questions given by teachers had to be confirmed by department heads, and only those that received approval could be officially used as midterm exam questions.
This was possible because most of the tests were subjective questions similar to the practical exam.
“Last year, I was somewhat lenient on the test questions, but not this year. If you don’t submit test questions appropriate to your class, you won’t be able to pass, so please understand that.”
Deans also had no choice but to be sensitive about exam questions.
If you give questions that are too easy, the discrimination power will decrease and student satisfaction will also decrease.
Simply getting good grades on tests isn’t the only skill.
Some students really liked tests that were easy, but some students would immediately complain to their parents if a test was easy.
It doesn’t end with the students’ complaints. When parents complain that Ibeca, which is considered one of the best academies, gave easy questions, the academy has no excuses.
There were quite a few parents who protested, saying that there was no need to send their children to the academy just to take this kind of test, so Ibeca had to put a lot of effort into preparing for the midterm exam.
Therefore, teachers had to set exam questions of appropriate difficulty level under the supervision of the dean and had to receive permission.
If we don’t get that permission, we’ll have to start over and try a new problem.
What if I don’t get permission from the Dean before the exam?
The teaching position will be revoked.
Although such cases do not occur often, they are not uncommon.
It is not only important to get permission from the Dean of the Faculty.
Should you compromise and make it moderately difficult to get permission, or should you stick to a high difficulty level and let your students learn at their own level?
The entire process of thinking about this gap was the difficulty teachers experienced during midterm exams.
“I want to get through it in one go this time.”
“The deans must be having a hard time too. They must be paying a lot of attention.”
It’s not that the Dean of the Faculty doesn’t like it and is rejecting it.
Considering the level of the academy and the protests from parents, it was inevitable that the dean of students would reject the proposal in advance in order to protect the teachers and the academy.
“New teachers are a problem.”
“I was rejected more than a dozen times when I was a newbie. I wonder how many nights I stayed up.”
Teachers who had experience in giving midterm exams were able to pass the exam within a few tries, but teachers who had no sense of test difficulty had a hard time.
“Mr. Poetry.”
“yes!”
But there were exceptions.
Sir Ron Ramsdale, who would have received the top honors if not for Ethan, confidently presented the test question to the Dean of the College of Engineering and passed with flying colors.
“You passed. As expected, since you were a student until recently, you’re really good at setting the difficulty level.”
The teachers looked at the thesis with eyes filled with admiration and envy.
“Ethan is getting a lot of attention, but Siron also got in with grades comparable to top students.”
“And she’s from Ibeca.”
Since it is rare for a newbie to pass the exam on the first try, it was natural that the theory would receive attention.
Siron Ramsdale looked at the midterm exam questions he had written with a proud face.
‘This time I should tip the social gathering.’
Up until now, I’ve only received from Ethan.
But now it seemed like he could give it back, since he was the first of the new teachers to pass.
Iris appeared in Shiron’s eyes as he walked quickly.
“Teacher Iris!”
“I see you’re smiling brightly. Did you pass the midterm exam by any chance?”
“Do you get the tea? Hahahaha! But I was Ibeka’s student until recently. I know what level of difficulty is good and what kind of questions are good to ask.”
Shiron said that and laughed cheerfully.
“Isn’t it my turn to help with the social gathering? I need to tell the other teachers quickly. How difficult should I set this test!”
Siron said that and tried to give Iris a tip.
But Iris shook her head.
“I passed too. Test questions.”
“yes?”
Surely, I would not have guessed that there was another new teacher who could finish preparing test questions this quickly.
I was surprised for a moment, but I quickly controlled my expression.
Well, the bloodline of the Archmage won’t go anywhere.
If Ethan hadn’t been there, those two would have been the ones to get noticed as rivals.
“Huh? What are you two doing there?”
“Teacher Nadia.”
Shiron, whose face had brightened again, opened his mouth. But Iris struck before that.
“Ms. Nadia, this midterm exam is a bit tricky, isn’t it? I heard that if you don’t pass, you could lose your teaching license. But I passed. What’s so great about a social gathering? Let me give you a tip!”
“Oh, no, I’ll give it to you, Miss Nadia.”
“Oh, yes? I passed too… … .”
I never thought I would pass even Ms. Nadia.
Certainly, his peers were very talented. Ethan was covered up, but this one was also quite talented.
But there is still a chance.
“Teacher Ethan!”
“You’re taking two classes, so you obviously haven’t passed yet?”
These two have only received help so far. This time, they definitely intend to help.
“Oh, I asked too, but I heard you already passed both classes? You were the fastest among the teachers. Next was Teacher Cloudy.”
“Oh, no, the fastest?”
“You have two classes. And Ms. Cloudy is in second place? Doesn’t Ms. Cloudy have three classes?”
It’s ridiculous.
How long have those two been preparing for the exam that they passed already?
Nadia answered the questions of those two people.
“I heard that Mr. Cloudy gave us ten questions for the midterm exam? He asked us to pick only three good ones. He really is a great teacher. I think the Dean of the Magic Department heard about it, and he secretly expected us to do the same.”
Even though they were in the same magic department, Iris didn’t notice at all.
“So when did you pass, Miss Nadia?”
“I thought I was fifth in the entire undergraduate program?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
It didn’t seem like the two were playing rivals.

-Wow, I thought Xiang Yu was an aggressive god. But he’s defensive? [I only subscribe to real gods] I’m learning Xiang Yu’s defensive skills through your subscription review.
-[Subscribe to the right god] is a god… … !
-I already knew that the best defense is a good offense, but I didn’t know that there was something like that among Xiang Yu’s techniques. I’m learning properly.
– [Subscribe to the right god] Thanks to you, I’m getting Hang-woo’s defensive skills. This seems incredibly easy compared to Hang-woo’s reverse attack.
-You’ve lost half your life if you didn’t know about this universal skill until now.
-I won the fight against twelve ladies in a literal sense. Thank you.
“ha ha ha-!”
Xiang Yu laughed out loud.
Not long after I gave the premium subscriber a spot as requested, a subscription review typical of [only real subscribers] subscribers was posted.
The subscription review was organized one by one into what you can gain by subscribing to Hangwoo, focusing on Maninjiji.
“That’s it. That famous one! Yes, that’s the taste of rice cakes!”
Xiang Yu saw the comments pouring in under the subscription reviews written by [Only Subscribe to Proper Gods] subscribers.
Others, too, did not know the nature of the power that Xiang Yu sought.
However, subscribers who have read the reviews have come to realize that the essence of Xiang Yu’s power lies not only in attack but also in defense.
I was surprised once again to find out that Xiang Yu, who I thought only had offensive skills, had skills that could be utilized in various ways.
“Yes, that’s right. There is no god more versatile than me in battle.”
Hang-woo continued reading the comments with a pleased look on his face.
“oh?”
While I was checking that out, I came across the last part of a review written by a premium subscriber.
“Goods!”
It said that if there were goods there, there would be no need to hesitate in subscribing to Hangwoo.
“Not bad. You’re really a great subscriber. You know how [New World] works so well.”
Why hesitate when you have a precious subscriber giving you advice?
Xiang Yu immediately started making goods.

Ethan, who had passed all of the midterm exams, planned to practice in the office while the students were taking their exams.
This time, we learned about Xiang Yu’s reverse divergence.
To train this reverse divergence, I had to push my body to its limits.
“There are many ways to push yourself to your limits, but my body tends to reach its limits quickly.”
Ethan’s body is extremely sickly due to the disease.
“I think reverse divergence would be easier for me to practice.”
I have been continuously raising my stamina stat to cover up this weak body.
Thanks to that, my stamina level has increased quite a bit, but I probably have the lowest stamina level among [New World] subscribers.
‘The more your stamina increases, the stronger your body becomes.’
What this means is that it is difficult to build up the skill of this reverse divergence with an already strong body.
If your body is strong, it will be harder to push yourself to your limits.
“I might be the easiest.”
Compared to them, Ethan was able to push his body to its limits with relative ease. Ethan looked at the exercise equipment on one side of the office.
“For physical training, that is.”
Then I put the barbell on my trapezius muscles. It was the squat that I had my students do in my class on understanding the sword. I stood with my feet spread appropriately apart and then slowly lowered them.
I felt the power going into my thighs, and when I went up, I pushed my buttocks and made sure to drive my hips.
After doing a set of classic squats, I felt a reaction in my thighs.
“Add more weight.”
Ethan gradually increased the weight of the barbell and performed squats. After the warm-up, he did the main set.
“Ugh!”
This set involved 10 reps of squats with 200 kilograms of weight. It felt like my thighs were on fire.
The weight of the barbell was completely out of place with his weak body. Of course, he used the strength of a giant, but he did not use any mana at all for pure physical training.
“This is it.”
Ethan added more weight.
After increasing the weight to the limit, I performed squats this time using reverse divergence.
The weight was so strong that the bar on his shoulders bent.
Ethan performed a squat using reverse lunges with all his might.
“Ugh!”
Ethan felt as if his thighs were going to break under the enormous weight.
One, two, three.
As I continued to do squats, my body gradually reached its limit.
– The unfading stamina trait is activated.
‘this.’
The activation of a trait that is not welcome at this time.
But Ethan didn’t care and pushed himself to his limits again.
‘I absolutely can’t do it.’
But I have to do it. Here one more time.
As Ethan did another squat and stood up, the long-awaited notification popped up.
-Push your body to its limits!
-Your proficiency in reverse divergence increases!
“… … This is it!”
A way to increase your proficiency in reverse firing while also training your body.
“This is the answer.”
Ethan continued to do squats.
Every time I repeated the exercise, my whole body felt a stimulation. As my body quickly became tired, my skill in reverse firing also increased considerably.
“Is training the body the only way to increase your proficiency in reverse firing?”
Well, then it was worth trying another method.
He put the barbell down and created saliva.
And I used the Five Elements Acupuncture to stack the buffs.
“Ugh.”
As time passed, a debuff arose due to excessive use of the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique.
Ethan picked up the barbell again, but with less weight than before.
“Reverse divergence.”
Shaaaaak-.
A great strength filled his body, and Ethan used that strength to do squats.
“omg.”
I almost fell over and got crushed by the barbell. But I managed to do one with great difficulty.
-Your proficiency in reverse divergence increases!
“Is this what you mean?”
I found two ways.
“Being sick helps in many ways.”
Ethan smiled bitterly and grabbed the dumbbell.
“I need to fill up my reverse divergence proficiency to 5%.”
That’s when I was trying to continue training again.
Knock knock-.
There was a knock.
“Mr. Ethan, are you there?”
A familiar voice.
“Come in, Miss Cloudy.”
Cloudy Hyde opened the door and came in.
