Chapter 202: The Knight Rides the Autumn Breeze (8)
"-Miss Hayes Roche, you’ve applied for the history department. Is that correct?"
The woman with golden bobbed hair and striking blue eyes nodded immediately.
"More precisely, I have a deep interest in theology. My dream is to trace the miracles of the Great Light and follow in Their footsteps during Their earthly manifestation. I believe that the history department, with its extensive records and rich traditions, is the ideal place to achieve that goal."
"Oh."
The professor conducting the first interview for the history department let out an impressed hum.
Passionate students were always welcome in academia. Enthusiasm was a critical trait in the field of archaeology, and he was already considering asking if she had any interest in becoming a graduate student.
However, an interview alone couldn’t reveal everything about a candidate.
"So, let’s see how you do in the debate round."
"...Thank you!"
Unlike the swordsmanship or magic departments, practical evaluations for academic fields were primarily conducted through debates.
That meant she had effectively passed the first interview, and her face lit up with joy.
"I do hope you perform just as well in the practical exam."
