I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 214 The Assessment is Complete

However, Lezhi performed much better than they had expected. Knowing there would be field training on the day of the gathering, Lei Xiu had drawn a terrain map for Lezhi beforehand. Although Lezhi had a poor sense of direction, his memory was exceptional.

Lezhi made a point of memorizing all the obvious landmarks around the clan's territory. Before taking the lead, he was already consciously looking for landmarks, and being well-prepared, he quickly got into character.

My gaze accurately caught a clear reference point: a huge tree in the distance. What was special was that the entire plant was pink, especially the leaves that hadn't fallen even in winter. The pink was so tender and eye-catching.

“…Very good. Lei Xiu said to just fly towards that tree.” Recalling the key points Lei Xiu had circled, Le Zhi’s eyes hardened. Without any hesitation, he flew straight in the direction he had chosen. The most important role of a leader is to guide the team in the right direction—something everyone repeatedly emphasized. But there was something else they didn’t say: as a leader, one must be firm and decisive when making decisions, listen to the opinions of those around them, but also have one’s own thoughts.

Independent thinking is also important; it is a sign of whether a person can be entrusted with important responsibilities.

Le Jing, who was flying in the middle of the group, had been observing silently. He had a vague feeling that Le Zhi had a poor sense of direction, which was not hard to notice if one observed carefully enough.

Le Jing is a very observant person. Not long after Le Zhi returned to the clan, Le Jing had already noticed some of Le Zhi's little habits.

For example, I sometimes have a sweet tooth and my attention is not very focused. Also, I often freeze at crossroads and need to look around to determine the direction.

So after seeing Lezhi become the leader, Lejing had already quietly begun to pay attention to his performance. He was the instructor of this team, and his responsibility was to teach these new members of the tribe the experience accumulated by their predecessors over thousands of years, so that they could avoid detours.

A poor sense of direction is innate, which is not the problem. The problem is how Lezhi can find a way to solve it.

What Le Jing wants to see is Le Zhi's solution.

Whether it's proactively asking for help from a partner or preparing in advance, it's all within Le Jing's acceptable range. As long as the problem can be solved, Le Jing doesn't insist on the process. However, there's one thing: you can't pretend you don't understand.

Knowing full well that you have a poor sense of direction, yet not preparing in advance or asking for help, and just gritting your teeth and going straight ahead, is not a good approach.

Lezhi's performance today will determine whether he can successfully enter the next stage of learning. Lejing's course assessments are conducted constantly and without prior notice; he has his own set of evaluation criteria.

As it turns out, Le Jing's approach was very effective. Anyone who was approved and released by him, even if they weren't outstanding, at least wouldn't be a failure.

Lezhi, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was holding his breath. They were about to cross the big pink tree, and Lezhi was looking for another reference point that could show him the way forward.

With her eyes darting left and right, just as Leyou and Leting were about to step forward to remind her, Lezhi's eyes lit up.

"Found it, it's over there!"

A smile crept across his lips, his wings flapped rapidly a few times, and he slightly shifted his body, gracefully and smoothly adjusting his direction as he moved toward his target.

Leyou and Leting, who were following closely behind Lezhi, were also delighted to see that Lezhi had found the right direction and quickly followed without hesitation.

That's it. The leadership position won't last long. This adjustment in direction is the final test for Lezhi. Soon, someone else will take over, which means that the moment Lezhi chose the right direction, his assessment was already over.

How could this not be exciting?

However, opening champagne halfway through the game was not advisable, especially since Le Jing was still in the team keeping an eye on things. So the three young men suppressed their joy and, after hearing Le Jing quickly give the signal to switch positions, they followed the instructions carefully and promptly. Le Zhi finally stepped down from the leading position and was replaced by Le Ting.

"Lezhi, well done. As long as there are no mistakes, there shouldn't be any problems from now on," Leyou whispered as he approached Lezhi.

"Mmm." Lezhi smiled back, then secretly glanced at Lejing, wanting to see if Lejing had noticed them whispering here.

Upon noticing the direction of Lezhi's gaze, Leyou instantly understood what Lezhi meant, immediately returned to his position, and dared not cause any more trouble.

Having already noticed the restlessness of the kids, Le Jing didn't give them a second glance. He wasn't the kind of instructor who was so strict as to be inhumane; as long as things were done well, Le Jing allowed these kids to be occasionally unruly.

After all, children are still young, so it's normal for them to be lively. Unlike those who have lived for a long time, although their faces haven't changed, their hearts have begun to age and they've lost their vitality.

The subsequent flight went unexpectedly smoothly, and everyone accepted the arrangement, which was called a collection day but was actually a hidden assessment day.

As long as it gives them an excuse to go out on a cold winter's day, no one cares about such a small flaw. Just kidding, after all, who knows when the next opportunity will come?

Because of the cold weather during the winter season, for safety reasons, Le Chu requires that all tribespeople must obtain permission before leaving the tribe. They cannot be as free as in the other three seasons. Of course, apart from the guard team, they have their own arrangements.

So being able to openly join the gathering team this time was a rare experience. Landing happily at the designated location, everyone's suppressed emotions couldn't be contained any longer, and a cacophony of noise rose from the surroundings.

The joyful atmosphere is contagious. As soon as Lezhi landed smoothly and folded its wings, it was surrounded by Leyou and Leting.

"Lezhi, what are we going to do later? Are we going to collect more snow or go play in the snow? Just before I landed, I saw a patch of land over there that hadn't been disturbed yet, and the snow there was so clean."

Today's main task is to assess flight formation. Once we arrive at our destination, we can make our own arrangements, so everyone is very excited.

Moreover, the place we came to today is deep within Liuyun Valley, a place Lezhi has never been before. Previously, Lezhi had only roughly circled around Liuyun Valley and had never been this deep.

"What good things are here? I've never been here before," Lezhi asked curiously, her eyes darting around. Arriving in a new environment always makes one want to explore.

“Hmm, there are many. There are many canyons and caves in Liuyun Valley. Maybe we can find some unusual things,” Leyou said.

"A cave? What kind of cave?"

"Oh right, Lezhi hasn't been here before. Some of the places are really beautiful. Okay, let's take Lezhi to see them today."

Seeing that Lezhi was interested, Leyou's eyes crinkled with laughter. She glanced at Leting questioningly, and when she received no objection, she quickly made her decision.

"You guys wait for me here. I'll go tell Le Jing, and then we'll set off."

"Okay~"

Lezhi didn't have time to object, nor did he intend to. He was just a little curious, however, that everyone seemed relaxed this time, unlike the tense atmosphere they had before.

When he voiced his question, Leting smiled and replied, "Of course! During the Winter Season, not only are we less active, but most of the insects are also inactive. It's a rare truce period. The guard team takes on most of the work, and our trip was permitted by the tribe. The plant harvest isn't plentiful during the Winter Season, so the tribe doesn't have any requirements, so everyone is naturally relaxed." It's no different from going out for fun.
