Luis read all the questions one by one and started solving them easily. Even the questions that needed calculations were easy for him.

Time passed by minute after minute. Now the entire exam hall was in silence. The faces of many examinees were pale.

As for the ones that were daring enough to cheat, they were eliminated by the invigilator immediately. After that, even if they wanted to, no one dared.

Some of them were already in tears and gave up.

But Luis didn't pay attention to any of these. His eyes were only focused on solving the test paper. From the beginning till now, his face didn't change as he confidently answered all the questions.

When there were still 5 minutes left for the exam to end. Luis had already solved 99 questions and was in his last question.

...

Q:100) Does the Ice Element have a Mutation?

1

a) Yes

b) No

...

If it was someone else other than Luis, they wouldn't hesitate to answer 'No'. Because this is basic knowledge that Ice Element doesn't have a mutation route.

But Luis' hands paused, and a frown appeared on his face.

'Should I answer it?'

After contemplating for some time. When it was just a minute left for the exam to be over.

Luis sighed and answered.

"Okay, the time's up." As the invigilator's voice fell. The screen on everyone's tables turned off, leaving the crying and begging voices of some candidates.

"Hey Buddy, how was it?" Ben came over and asked.

After their conversation, Ben had already considered Luis as his friend.

Luis could see that Ben was confident about the exam, so he replied with a smile. "Not too bad."

1

"Haha, good." Ben laughed.

Then, while raising his fist towards Luis for a fist bump, he said, "Let's do our best in the next rounds and join the Academy together."

Hearing this, Luis smiled and responded to his fist-bump. "Yeah, let's do our best."

Now that the Written Exam was over. The candidates were asked to move to the ability testing ground allotted to their group. Which will also be the second round of tests. The Ability Test.

The Ability test is a simple test of performance. In which the candidates will be asked to attack the target and based on their performance. They will be evaluated.

When Luis arrived at the testing ground. He saw three options in the Ability test that the candidates need to choose from.

Close Range.

Mid Range.

Long Range.

Luis rubbed his chin and finally decided to go to the long-range area.

In the Long Range area. The performance evaluation of the candidates was based on accuracy.

The candidates were asked to select a weapon from the shelves to use. Personal Weapons or Artifacts were not allowed. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'Too bad, I wanted to try my Magic Gun.'

With a disappointed sigh, Luis waited for his turn to come.

After waiting for half an hour. His number was finally called, along with nine others.

When he went to select a weapon from the shelves. Luis saw that there were only two options for him to choose from. Bow or guns.

It was a basic bow and arrow and a 9mm pistol.

Holding the Pistol in his hands, he got familiar with it a little.

'Although it's not that good. It should be fine.'

"No. 1257!"

Hearing his number being called. Luis immediately replied.

"Here I am."

The examiner nodded and asked. "Have you chosen your weapon?"

"Yes."

"Hmm," The Examiner saw that Luis was holding a gun. So he started explaining.

"You will shoot ten rounds in either of those targets."

The Examiner pointed at the 100-meter, 200-meter and 300-meter targets. Then continued. "Based on your performance, I will give your evaluation."

"When you are ready, you can start."

With those words, the Examiner moved a few steps away, giving him space.

Normally with the Pistol he was holding, candidates would either choose 100 meters or 200 meters.

But Luis' gaze was only focused on the 300-meter target.

He raised the Pistol with one hand while aiming at the target with his perception skill. Calculating the angle and velocity of air and taking a stance. Luis looked at the target as if an eagle was looking at its prey. Then exhaled his breath.

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

....

Luis shot all 10 rounds rapidly in succession.

"Hah." Taking a deep breath. Luis turned to look at the examiner, who was giving him a deep look. Seemingly impressed by his performance.

Because all the shots were bullseye!

Now that Luis had completed his test, he had some free time to move around. Because before the last test, the results of the Written Tests and the Ability test will be out.

Only the candidates who passed can move on to the final round.

"Lily, how long will it take for the results to come out?"

{The second test will be completed in about 30 minutes. Then it will take another 30 minutes for the results to be out.}

"Hmm," Luis didn't think it was fast, considering, if the job was given to Lily, she would have done it within a minute.

"Well, that means I can have an hour-long break."

Luis mumbled, and then his eyes fell on the Ice cream shop near him.

"Hmm."

Curious about its taste and with free time in hand, Luis decided to try some Ice cream.

But he didn't know yet that he would meet someone unexpected inside the Ice cream shop.

Just so you guys know. The answers to these questions have been hinted in the previous chapters.
