===============================================
The students listened attentively as Professor Emily elaborated on the various uses of the points system. The whiteboard displayed a comprehensive list of opportunities. Emily's explanation triggered a wave of curiosity among the students.
As the professor opened the floor for questions, hands shot up around the room. One of the students, introducing herself as Camila Ava, asked about the wager system. "How does this wager system work?" she inquired, with interest.
Emily smiled warmly and addressed Camila's question. "Great question, Camila. The wager system is designed to encourage competition and collaboration among students. If there are conflicts, disagreements, or even instances where clubs or groups need something resolved, students can use their points to make wagers. Instead of resorting to arguments, they can challenge each other in duels or challenges that showcase their skills."
Camila nodded, absorbing the information. "So, it's like a way to settle disputes while also having fun?"
Emily nodded in affirmation. "Exactly. It's a way to turn potential conflicts into opportunities for growth and interaction. And here's an interesting twist: you can also use the wager system to exchange services and goods. Let's say you're in a band and another club needs live music for an event. Instead of paying for your performance, they can wager their points against your band's performance. If you win, you not only gain their points but also their services."
The students exchanged intrigued glances, clearly intrigued by the idea. Emily continued, "It adds a layer of excitement and strategy to the academy life. It's all about learning to negotiate, collaborate, and resolve issues in creative and cooperative ways."
Camila smiled, her curiosity satisfied. "That sounds really cool. It's like turning challenges into opportunities."
The professor nodded appreciatively. "Exactly, Camila. It's all about embracing challenges and finding innovative solutions. The points system here at NSE Academy encourages you to think outside the box and make the most of your time here."
The student's attention remained fixed on Professor Emily as she smoothly transitioned to explaining the upcoming week's testing schedule. She paced in front of the whiteboard, making sure her students were well-informed.
"Starting tomorrow, on Tuesday and Wednesday," Emily began, her voice clear. "we will have written exams. These exams will cover subjects such as advanced science, history, mathematics, and global economics. Tuesday's test will include history and mathematics, while Wednesday's tests will focus on global economics and advanced science."
She paused, allowing the information to sink in before continuing. "The written exams will contribute to 50% of your total score, with the physical exams making up the other 50%."
The students exchanged glances, whispering among themselves. This was their chance to showcase their academic abilities and physical prowess, all to earn valuable points in the NSE Academy's system. After all, the school is not normal meaning all students that got accepted in NSE academy in the first place are talented young generations.
Emily continued, "For the physical exams, we will be evaluating your stamina and reflexes. The specifics of the physical exams will be explained in more detail by the professor in charge, who will give you all the necessary information."
As she finished explaining the testing process, Emily opened the floor for questions once again. There were no immediate inquiries from the students, indicating their understanding.
"Alright then," Emily said with a nod, "remember that Thursday will be a free day for you to explore the academy and dorms. Just make sure not to leave the academy without proper permissions."
Emily's voice grew more animated as she moved on to the next topic. "Now, onto some exciting news. After this briefing, we will have a 30-minute break, and then there will be an event in the hall. It's an extracurricular bazaar that I highly recommend you join. While it's not mandatory, participating in this event can be a great way to get information." Emily continued, "When you join a club there will be a chance for you to earn points and learn more about our school."
She looked around the room, her gaze encouraging. "Seniors will be managing the event, and it's an opportunity to explore different clubs and activities. If you're interested in joining any club, don't hesitate to do so. This is your chance to dive into the rich tapestry of experiences NSE Academy has to offer."
As Emily concluded her announcements, the bell rang.
