Chapter 17: The End of the Month Examination (2)
The End of the Month Examination (2)
The bell rang through the speakers once, and the test papers started to be distributed.
The cadets in front let out their frustration after taking a look.
“Sigh…”
In subjects like Phenomena Analysis and Monstrosity, the problems included in examinations are very difficult, and the test papers remained blank, filled only with fingerprints.
“Look at the test paper, Mr….” someone muttered in a small voice.
It was the kind of a test paper where the question is not even if you can solve the problems on time, but whether you could even read through half of the problems before the duration ends.
‘Are you saying this is a test?’ someone else in the room uttered.
It was too easy for me, though.
Immediately after reading one question, I wrote the answer in the sheet next to it, then on to the next problem.
There was no need to check, and no further review is needed.
At times, just reading the first line reminded me of what the problem was and what the answer would be.
I wondered if I should get a perfect score.
I must leave a good impression in Theory, but these are problems of difficulty…
[Is it appropriate to just read once and solve it quickly?]
The traveler at the back of my head burst into laughter as he said it.
Phenomena Analysis and Monstrosity – all 30 questions in the examination were all subjective.
Aside from stating a valid answer, I have to defend it with my own analysis and solution.
I’ll have to solve it as quickly as possible and get their attention with the speed of completing the exam, I decided.
Quadang!
Yoo Ji-yeon’s fingers moved, and Lee Seong-cheol crashed to the ground helplessly.
Even as he fell, he was unable to understand why he was losing balance.
Pug-!
The fate of the match was decided.
Heavy ice cubes began to form over Lee Seong-cheol’s head.
He looked nervous. “Uh… Wait, wait!”
The cubes fell, and relentlessly struck his head.
“Ah, ah, ah! I surrender!” Lee Seong-cheol exclaimed.
The ice ends were blunt, so there was no killing power, but dozens of attacks hitting one’s head is not a pain to endure.
He walked out of the exam room with a resigned expression.
The traveler clicked his tongue.
Only
[Sorry for the loss.]
While the traveler sympathized with the loser, I was staring at the victor.
Yoo Ji-yeon was brushing the dust of her sleeves when she noticed me. She shook her tongue.
There was one thought on my mind.
The magic she first used.
It looked effortless, but it was a complicated attack that can only be used with a good understanding of mana.
Could it be that…
Is Yoo Ji-yeon dealing with high-level magic already?
