Terrance had already figured out the composition of the potion and identified all twenty fruits in front of him. He felt confident that he could ace the assessment. The only thing left to analyze was the Oddish and how it burned differently depending on the environment, the type of pokemon, and the berries used. Terrance knew that understanding the walking grass would guide him towards the perfect solution, and that was what he aimed for - to get full marks.
As Terrance picked up a red berry and peeled it with a knife, Mikri watched calmly, knowing that Terrance had found a solution. The other examiners were also busy combining different ingredients like berries, leaves, medicinal materials, and pollen. The assessors were looking for ways to relieve the burning, and while there were some differences in their approaches, they all aimed for the same goal. The final results would determine whose solution was the most effective.
Meanwhile, the proctors gathered to comment on the examiners' performance. They discussed the possibility of seven or eight examiners passing the assessment and were particularly interested in Terrance and Mikri's results. The person in charge mentioned that Terrance was recommended by Master Shengzong, which surprised one of the invigilators. They observed the examiners, realizing that more than half of the time had passed, and it was almost done.
Terrance was grinding with a wooden grinder. He knew all the herbs on the table. This feeling made Terrance very emotional. He thought that the pharmacology of his combination was the most perfect.
Terrance observed how reading so many books had benefitted him as he deftly worked on the potion ingredients. The twenty different types of fruit in front of him were no challenge, and he quickly identified them all. With over half of the problems solved, the assessment was no longer difficult for him. The only thing left to do was to analyze the burning of the walking grass. Different Pokemon, different tricks, different environments, and different berries could all cause the walking grass to burn in different ways. Knowing the true condition of the walking grass was crucial for guiding the direction of treatment. Terrance was determined to solve the problem as perfectly as possible and aimed for a full score.
As he worked, Terrance picked up a red berry and peeled it with a knife. Mikri, who was on the other side, watched patiently, confident that Terrance would succeed. The other examiners also worked on their solutions, and while there were differences in their approaches, they all aimed to relieve the burning.
The proctors, who were gathered together, discussed how many examiners would pass the assessment this year. Qiao Yiling, who was in charge of Terrance's first exam, expressed her optimism for Terrance and Xiaochun, who were both exceptional examiners. The person in charge revealed that Terrance was recommended by Master Shengzong to take part in the assessment, which explained his impressive abilities at such a young age.
Terrance was lost in his work, and time passed quickly. He didn't feel the slightest effort, and his movements were smooth and efficient. He finally finished and looked at the blue paste-like substance in front of him. It wasn't pretty, but he was convinced it would have a great effect on the burning of walking grass. He applied the ointment to the walking grass and waited for the assessment to end.
Qiao Yiling approached and checked Terrance's work, announcing that he had done well. However, the final grade would be judged by all the invigilators, so Terrance had to wait patiently for the assessment to end. Xiaochun also finished, and Mikeri was a little earlier than him. The assessment was almost over, and Terrance and the others waited leisurely for the final result.
Terrance had just finished his second assessment to become a professional Pokémon breeder. He and his friends, Xiaochun and Mikiri, were waiting for the results. The assessment had two parts, a written test and a practical test where they had to create an ointment to treat burns caused by a specific type of Pokémon attack.
As they waited, Terrance overheard some of the other examiners making unusual inferences, like burns caused by will-o'-the-wisps or flames. Xiaochun confidently guessed that the burns were caused by strong sunlight, and Terrance agreed. Mikiri also joined in the conversation, and they all felt good about their chances of passing.
When the invigilator announced the results, Terrance, Xiaochun, and Mikiri all passed with perfect scores. Terrance was ecstatic, but he knew that passing as a junior nurturer was just the beginning of his journey to become a top-level Pokémon breeder. He would need to work hard to advance to intermediate and advanced levels and become a true master.
Despite his excitement, Terrance knew he couldn't announce the news just yet. He was still a long way from being a top breeder, and he needed to continue learning and growing. But for now, he was proud of himself and his friends for passing the assessment and achieving their dream of becoming professional Pokémon breeders.
