Chapter 266: Chapter 246: Stupid Questions, Better Not to Do Them! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

This time, the Mystical Studies knowledge exam had over three hundred candidates spread across ten large exam halls.

These exam halls, typically large lecture rooms fitting two to three hundred people for classes, had seating widely spaced apart considering that the candidates were all keen-earred and sharp-eyed Awakeners.

Yiluo Xi arrived at exam hall number four and sat at position number fourteen.

Unable to resist looking around, her gaze swept over the other thirty examinees in the hall, searching for those with the face of a study-intensive person.

...Just kidding!

Why would she need a bookworm? It was just a basic Mystical Studies exam. Watch how the club president herself easily nails it, then slams the high-scoring test paper on her tutor’s desk. Humph, let’s see if the tutor would have anything to say about that.

She kind of wanted to see the tutor’s expression then.

Hahahaha——

Yiluo Xi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, attracting pairs of astonished looks—this kid must be a fool.

But as president Yiluo Xi, founder of the Witch Sisterhood, why would she bother with these ordinary mortals?

Hmph (￣へ￣)~!

"Dong——"

The melodious sound of a bell echoed above the exam hall.

The appointed time had come; the staff started to unseal the enveloped bags and distribute the test papers one by one.

The exam hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for the sounds of candidates flipping through papers and scribbling with their pens. As for the staff proctoring the exam? Not a chance.

Every candidate present was at least a first-tier Awakener, among them some heavy hitters; these part-time staffers stood no chance of proctoring them.

Proctoring relied on surveillance.

There were eight surveillance cameras installed here, encompassing the entire exam hall with no blind spots, plus countless invisible monitoring probes—even with an Angel Envoy’s own field of vision, internal and external control, under the real-time supervision of mini fantasy, not even a cheat sheet slipped into a four-dimensional pocket could escape mini fantasy’s eyes.

At the front of the exam hall, atop the podium.

A mascot in the form of a black cat statue was perched, appearing to be a statue but with its feline eyes spinning round and round.

The Cat God is watching over you!

This was indeed Black Pupil, yet not quite Black Pupil, more precisely, it was an incarnation of Black Pupil.

After advancing to the fourth awakening, besides the usual two-dimensional enhancement, Black Pupil cat surprisingly gained a third awakened ability ’Ling Mao Incarnation’ (Spirit Cat Incarnation), amazing Fang You, who had never seen the birth of a new ability upon entering the Superhuman Rank.

This ability was somewhat similar to Thousand Faces’ ’Puppet Split’, a combination of prop and power, constructing a life-sized Black Pupil cat statue from special materials, making it a physical incarnation.

And compared to Thousand Faces, the Spirit Cat Incarnation had an even greater range limit and could produce far more incarnations.

At this moment, ten exam halls each had one Black Pupil’s Spirit Cat Incarnation squatting inside.

Its true body was not here but over a thousand meters away, engaged in gaming.

Black Pupil’s paws tapped on the keyboard, with another incarnation handling the mouse, truly making the most out of its ability.

With the chief proctor Cat God in position, the candidates began their tense Mystical Studies examination.

After writing her name, Yiluo Xi started reading the questions. The first part was basic multiple-choice, and she looked on with full confidence, then paused slightly.

[Question 01: If you are an ordinary person who has learned the basic ’Blade Slash’ (entrance level), with physical strength greater than 3, wielding a basic Awakened Weapon, how many slashes would it take to kill a Mysterious Evil Knocking Child?]

A, One slash

B, Two slashes

C, Three slashes

D, Can’t win; no matter how you think about it, you can’t win

Yiluo Xi: ⊙▃⊙

She knew Blade Slash, and she recognised Mysterious Evil Knocking Child, but she always obliterated them in one hit. How could she possibly know how many it would take for an ordinary person versus a Knocking Child.

What sort of nonsense question is this!

This question was fishy; skip, skip, skip! The next question would surely return to her field of expertise.

Still filled with plenty of confidence and enthusiasm, Yiluo Xi began to review the second question.

[Question 02: What is the advanced form of the two-star Mysterious Evil ’Gui Lantern’?]

A, Trio Gui Lantern

B, Triple Gui Lantern

C, Congregate Gui Lantern

D, Mutual Gui Lantern

Yiluo Xi: Meow meow meow~!

She froze again, staring angrily.

What kind of trashy question is this, making it hard for this beautiful girl!

As the president of the Witch Sisterhood, should she care what a Mysterious Evil is called or what it eats?

Outrageous!

Skip this question!

With not quite as much confidence, Yiluo Xi looked at the next question.

[Question 03: How should one attack the Mysterious Evil ’Mountainous Behemoth’? (attached image.jpg)]

A, Attack with Thunder Series ultimate moves

B, Cut off its blade-like four limbs

C, Detonate the volcano on the back of the behemoth

D, Create a crevice on its mountainous body

She was familiar with the Mountainous Behemoth!

Yiluo Xi’s eyes widened, revealing joy.

Yiluo Xi stared at the options with wide eyes.

Yiluo Xi’s eyes grew even rounder, filled with bewilderment.

What kind of trashy question is this!

Skip this question! Next one, next one! She clenched the desk, cracking it, as she read each question, her expression gradually shifting from full of confidence to feeling like facing a powerful enemy, and then to questioning her life.

Bang——

Yiluo Xi collapsed.

Half her face lay on the test paper, her wine-red hair disheveled around her, a faint trace of froth at her mouth, eyes spinning in circles.

What kind of trashy question is this!

Why are they all making it difficult for the president!

She doesn’t want to take the exam, she doesn’t want to take it anymore, sob sob sob!

...

In the adjacent examination room,

a burly and fierce man sat at his seat, staring at the test paper in front of him like he was facing a formidable foe.

He was Dong Huang’s top Mysterious Evil hunter, the Split Fist Martial Saint, Xu Jing Lei.

He didn’t have to participate in this Mythical Studies exam, but as a core member of the Torchbearers, personally invited by his mentor, how could he let other juniors outperform him?

So he came.

And he brought his three underlings with him, determined to secure the qualification certificate for the basics of Mythical Studies.

"Hmph! It is somewhat challenging, but this master has never been defeated by difficulty!"

"Answer! Even if it kills me, I must complete this test paper!"

After guessing on the multiple-choice questions, he turned to the fill-in-the-blank questions.

[Question 01, please list the names of the seven compulsory courses: ________.]

Xu Jing Lei hesitated for a moment, furrowing his brows in thought.

[Question 02, please write at least six names of three-star Mysterious Evils: ________.]

The Flesh Giant, the White Bone Knight... what else was there?

Xu Jing Lei fell into deep thought.

His speed of reading the questions became faster and faster, skipping over more and more blanks.

He planned to tackle the questions he knew how to answer first.

Pass this one.

Pass this one too.

And pass this one as well.

Xu Jing Lei’s hand gripping the pen trembled slightly.

[The third major question, material identification. Please write the names of the following mysterious materials based on the images.]

Xu Jing Lei stared hard, veins popping on his forehead.

This test paper was fishy, what the hell kind of crap questions were these! These questions, he, Big Boss Xu, wouldn’t bother doing!

Wait, weren’t these questions personally concocted by his mentor?

Cough, it’s that these questions are too profound. As expected, the mentor’s questions are not simple at all.

Xu Jing Lei glanced at the others, only to catch the equally bewildered and uncomfortable number one underling, Dao Hun.

Their eyes met, and he understood what Dao Hun meant.

"Boss, these questions are really freakin’ hard. How about we just throw in the towel and leave?"

Xu Jing Lei hesitated a bit.

His eyes then caught the gaze of underling number two, the Explosive Power Warrior.

The Explosive Power Warrior signaled with his eyes, "Me too!"

Xu Jing Lei was somewhat tempted and looked towards underling number three, the Mountain Bear.

The Mountain Bear was rubbing his belly and, looking up, conveyed a message that didn’t need the eyes of Xu Jing Lei to understand.

—— "I’m hungry, let’s go get some food."

That made him hungry too.

Damn it!

Torn between handing in a blank sheet early and stubbornly struggling to the end, Xu Jing Lei agonized over his decision.

...

In examination room number three, the delicate-facED Anna was furiously scribbling away.

Multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, material identification questions, essay questions; she answered one after another with little thought.

Half an hour later, looking at the completed test paper, Anna nodded in satisfaction.

"It’s indeed not hard."

"After all, it’s an exam prefixed with ’basic’. The mentor probably wants as many people as possible to pass."

She glanced around and noticed that other students seemed to be seriously focused on their papers, which snuffed out her intention to submit early.

Everyone else was so dedicated, how could she be complacent?

She had only finished the questions, she had not yet reviewed them. To not score full marks on such a basic exam would be a failure indeed.

Hmm, one must not make careless mistakes~!

Princess Anna bowed her head and started to review her answers.

...

An Jianyou was also reviewing her answers, her test paper filled to the brim. As she checked her work, she pondered the deeper meanings behind the mentor’s questions.

If it were up to her, how would she set the questions? What are the purposes of these questions? At what difficulty level should they be set?

Perhaps this was the mentor’s purpose in having her take the test. Next time, she definitely had to take on some of the mentor’s burdens.

Cheer up!

...

Zhou Hai, Jiang Tingqiu, Xu Tian, Roland, Liu Ji, and others were all diligently answering the questions.

Some had submitted their papers early, while many more gazed bewilderedly at their sheets.

The chasm between top students and bottom students was undeniably evident at this moment.

Outside the examination rooms,

Fang You himself arrived, passing by each room, observing the examinees inside either writing furiously or scratching their heads in confusion, including a dazed Yiluo Xi foaming at the mouth.

It was truly sublime.

He meant it was very normal; it was time for this foolish kid to buckle down and take some supplemental lessons.

After making a round of the examination rooms, and taking a few glances to see if Black Pupil was slacking, Fang You returned to the Secret Realm.

No sooner did he enter the door than he intended to get a drink from the Congratulatory Shop in the lobby, just to see Lao Wang’s shining bald head.

"Mentor, I have already created the thing you wanted."
