"A B- is actually an outstanding result for this assessment,"
The woman paused to look at Alex, and continued, "You're likely the highest scorer in this batch. Most students can only slightly increase the elemental energy in their surroundings, which is considered a good result."
Alex listened intently, taking what the woman said with deep interest.
"You've taken it a step further by manifesting your elemental control into the physical world with your fire, and the spatial disturbances."
Her words offered some consolation.
She added, "FYI, to achieve an S+ result, you'd need basic manipulation over your element, which essentially means your control needs to be good enough to use it in battle. This is also the main requirement for upgrading your soul core to C tier."
Alex nodded, absorbing the information.
Despite his initial disappointment, he realised that his result was actually very good.
