Chapter 17

If it weren’t for the fact that it was getting late and there were only a few people left to register, her shout might have attracted quite a crowd.

The influence of a top breeder is equivalent to the appeal that the Four Heavenly Kings, or even the Champion, have for ordinary trainers.

“Don’t worry about that, let’s register first.” Samuel Wright laughed heartily and waved his hand.

“Alright!” Hearing Samuel Wright’s instructions, the registration staff worked especially hard, going through the process with extreme care, afraid of making any mistakes.

The process was very quick. Once registration was complete and the information certificate was handed back, the lady in charge of registration continued, “I wish you both great results. Good luck.”

“We will, thank you.” The two of them replied politely, without much excitement.

Both of them were fully confident, so there was no need to be overly nervous or excited.

Seeing the calm expressions on the two youngsters, the registration staff was slightly amazed. Anyone connected to Master Samuel Wright couldn’t possibly be ordinary. It seemed this year’s assessment would be quite interesting.

Chapter 12: Young Assessors

Breeder Headquarters, Building 1, Second Floor, Room 303—

This was the location where Stephen Clark and the others would take their assessment.

At this moment, Stephen Clark and his group had already rested another night at the hotel and were feeling quite refreshed.

Thanks to the lavish meal pre-ordered by Master Samuel Wright, Stephen Clark got to enjoy some of the benefits. Since leaving home, this was the first time he had eaten so well.

The assessment was scheduled for exactly 8:00 a.m. With half an hour to go, people were already arriving one after another.

Most of those coming to take the junior breeder assessment were teenagers, though not exclusively. If you walked through a few more rooms, you might even see some older folks coming for the assessment.

This wasn’t because they were slow learners, but rather because everyone started learning the relevant knowledge at different times.

Stephen Clark had a considerable advantage, possessing a mature mindset and having been exposed to breeder knowledge from a young age, giving him a head start.

However, this dry and complex knowledge is truly difficult for children to fully grasp with their level of thinking and understanding.

That’s also why adults tend to comprehend some things more easily than children.

Stephen Clark’s situation is hard to replicate. Even Little Susan, who had the guidance of a renowned teacher and a good family background, was only taking the assessment at the same age as Stephen Clark.

“203—”

Glancing up at the room number, Stephen Clark and Little Susan took their assessment information and walked in.

Only candidates were allowed in here, so after Master Samuel Wright dropped them off downstairs, he went back to wait by himself. Of course, he was fully confident that Stephen Clark and the others would pass the assessment, and what was worth looking forward to was how they would rank among their peers.

At this time, there were already quite a few people seated in the classroom, a little over ten. After a calm scan of the room, Stephen Clark and Little Susan found their seats and sat down.

As time passed, more and more candidates filled the room. By the last ten minutes before the assessment, nearly every seat was taken.

At the podium, a woman who looked to be in her early twenties was writing the assessment time “8:00~9:30” on the blackboard. She was the proctor for this assessment site.

“My name is Lily Wright, and I’ll be your proctor.”

Stephen Clark was a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected the proctor to be a member of the Joy Wright clan, like Little Susan. But since the Joy Wright family was widespread, it didn’t necessarily mean they were related.

Using the last ten minutes, Lily Wright quieted the classroom and explained the assessment rules in detail.

These rules were quite standard, and most candidates already understood them to some extent.

And since this was the junior breeder assessment, the difficulty and process were relatively simple.

This was the first round of the assessment: the written test.

When the assessment began, the test papers were handed out. At first glance, Stephen Clark immediately felt it was child’s play—none of this would stump him.

Three pages of questions, three main sections: multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and essay.

The total score was 100 points. Multiple choice was worth 30 points, with 10 questions. Fill-in-the-blank was also 30 points, with 10 questions. As for the essay section, there were only two questions, each worth 20 points.

For the first round, as long as you scored 60 points, you could proceed to the next round. Anyone who didn’t reach 60 points would be considered to have failed the assessment.

“It’s just the basics.”

After carefully browsing through the test, Stephen Clark began answering.

For example, the first question was about the Poochyena species.

This question tested the temperament of Poochyena—a giveaway question. The multiple-choice options were: A: “Stubborn,” B: “Irritable,” C: “Keen,” D: “Timid.”

Without hesitation, Stephen Clark decisively chose A.

All four options made sense, but the most appropriate here was option A.

Poochyena often bares its fangs and fiercely intimidates opponents, but at the same time, if counterattacked, it will tuck its tail and run away. Also, they have a very keen sense of smell. Without a deep understanding, candidates could easily get confused on the first question.

In fact, the main temperament of Poochyena is stubbornness.
