Job Change For Everyone: My Job Can Infinitely Evolve-Chapter 278 - The Almighty GPA!

The students immediately quieted down when they heard “the most important point.” With 108 pairs of eyes focused on Becky, she became the center of attention again.

Becky enjoyed the crowd’s attention. She looked at Moss and Armand, saying excitedly, “Speaking of GPA, let’s start with the challenge just now.”

“It’s already getting exciting. Excellent!” The students’ cheers sounded from below the podium.

Becky gestured downward and said slowly, “It’s a challenge, so I think you’ve all guessed it. Your student numbers are based on your results in the college entrance exams. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

“When Armand challenged Moss just now, he most likely had doubts about Moss’s ranking, which is normal. However, Armand is probably not the only one who doubts Moss’s ranking.

“Still, I want you all to know that your student IDs are just codenames. It only represents your past. What represents your present and the future is GPA!”

She wrote “GPA” on the blackboard, drew a circle around it, and scribbled several lines under that as she spoke, “Kyoto Institute implements the GPA system, which we accumulate and update every once in a while. The higher a student’s GPA, the higher their ranking. It’s also a symbol of strength.

“Through GPA, you can see a grade’s ranking and the entire school’s ranking. This way, you can also compare the gap between you and others in the same grade. Simultaneously, you can see how far you must go to catch up with your seniors through the overall ranking.

“It doesn’t matter if you think the rankings are unfair, but you can continue earning a GPA to prove yourself over the next four years of college life.”

Becky saw someone raising their hand and nodded praisingly, “Yes, 023, you can ask your question.”

“Miss Becky, besides what you just mentioned, I know we can get GPA through courses. What other ways can we obtain GPA points?”

“That’s an excellent question,” Becky nodded at 023, “You can also get some GPA through monthly, midterm, final, and other semester exams. Oh, we will also convert your freshman entrance test results into GPA.

“In addition, you can obtain GPA points by participating in club activities, national first- and second-year exchange competitions, and so on. For other options, you can look at the handbook. I will distribute them after class,” Becky picked up a thick booklet as she spoke.

She noticed another student wanting to ask a question. She smiled in relief and said, “088, what do you want to know?”

“Apart from proving one’s strength, are there other uses for GPA, Miss Becky?”

“Of course. We consider GPA very influential at Kyoto Institute,” as soon as Becky replied, she immediately became the center of attention in the lecture hall again.

“You can exchange your GPA for money, equipment, potions, services, resources, and so on. You can exchange your GPA points for anything you think of, as it’s much more valuable than money in Kyoto.

“Likewise, you can exchange these things for GPA points,” she continued filling the blackboard with those contents as she spoke. When she finished writing, she drew a giant exclamation mark next to “GPA.”

“However, I want to remind everyone to exchange GPA points through legit channels. Otherwise, you might get cheated and never recover from your losses, even if Kyoto helps.”

A student below the podium could not help but shout, “So, wouldn’t one dominate the GPA ranking board if one has enough money?”

“In theory, yes, but not in reality. Money is the most worthless thing in Kyoto! No matter how much money you exchange, you cannot buy the 0.1 GPA of the top-ranking students.

“Please remember that Kyoto values strength, and GPA is the best representation of strength. A powerful student can always obtain GPA points through various channels, so don’t think of anything unorthodox and spend your limited time here improving yourselves.”

Becky answered thoughtfully but changed the topic and emphasized, “Asking questions is always good, but remember to raise your hand next time.”

The students opened their chatterboxes again.

“Since my GPA is so great, I should study well. That’s how I’ll get rich!”

“I must work hard from today onward. I will try leaving my name on the GPA ranking list so my juniors will worship me.”

…

Moss was not the most concerned about GPA because Becky said everything the students needed to know about it was in the handbook. He would study it well when the time came.

Now, he was more concerned about the national first- and second-year exchange competition Becky had just mentioned. Therefore, he raised his hand.

Becky extended her hand, saying, “005, go ahead!”

Moss’s eyes were full of anticipation as he asked, “Can you explain the first- and second-year student competition, Miss Becky? How can first-year students like us participate?”

“Since 005 has asked me that, I will tell you all about it today.”

Becky turned to another blackboard and quickly wrote, “What is the first- and second-year student competition? Time, hosting, awards.”

“How can we represent Kyoto in the competition? Internal selection, reserve team, official list.”

“What does the competition mean?”

Becky dusted off the chalk in her hand. Her eyes sparkled as she said with great interest, “Let’s start with the first one! As the name suggests, the first- and second-year student competition is a team competition between all universities across the country.

“This competition occurs every year on October 10th. The Ministry of Education and other universities take turns hosting it. This year’s competition will happen at the beautiful Oriental University in Z City.

“Each university can choose ten students to participate but must at least include two first-year students. All the events are knock-out competitions, and the organizing committee will decide the winner.

“There will be prizes for the champion, MVP, best newcomer, and best progress. Simultaneously, they will reward the teams from the top 32 universities to varying degrees.”

Becky pointed at the second subject on the blackboard and continued, “Considering everyone’s expressions, I can already tell how enthusiastic you are about participating in this competition. Excellent!

“To bring honor to our alma mater is something every student of Kyoto Institute is duty-bound to do!” She could not hide her excitement as she spoke.

A gratified expression frequently flashed across her face. Then she became severe, “However, if you want to represent Kyoto Institute in the competition, you must first pass the internal selection stage to enter the reserve team.

“After that, you must still undergo rigorous training and get used to your teammates. Only at the end of September can Kyoto confirm its final participants. In the past, our school would send three first-year students to participate.”

“There are only three spots?!”

“That’s too little!”

…

The students could not help but sigh.

Becky added, “Three spots is a lot. To achieve good results in this competition, a typical university only allows two first-year students to participate.”

Then she thought of something and revealed her signature smile, “However, I can tell you a piece of good news. The university will allow five first-year students to participate this year.”

The students immediately erupted in warm applause.

Once again, Becky cupped her hands and solemnly said, “Regardless of which of you has the honor to represent Kyoto, please remember: You must fight for every cent in Kyoto’s honor. That is all I have for today.”

Ring!

Becky tidied up the podium as the bell rang. She said, “All right, today’s class has ended. If you have any questions, please come to my office!”

She prepared to exit the lecture hall but stopped halfway. She told Moss and Armand, “Duels are nothing out of the ordinary here, but I suggest we stop there. A fight between classmates means internal conflict. As professionals, we must remember our mission.”

With that, she smiled and walked out of the lecture hall.
