Chapter 205: Written Exam
After realizing Tyrion's situation, the civilian apprenticeship camp no longer had any hopes for him. They just hoped that Tyrion wouldn't embarrass them.
As everyone sat down at random, Tyrion did not get to choose where he sat.
But, soon after he sat down, a black-haired girl in a long white dress sat down beside him. The girl had no expression on her face and seemed not to care about anything that was happening.
"I warned you not to approach Kayla, did you not understand what I said?" Donnie's cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Tyrion turned around, looked at him as though staring at a manaic , "You're nuts! She chose to sit here herself!"
"A mere civilian dares not insult the nobility!" Donnie was instantly furious.
"Donnie, the certification examination is about to start. Sit down." The force examiner rebuked him.
Donnie gave Tyrion a cold look, full of anger and coldness, then sat down behind Kayla. Throughout the whole process, Kayla did not even glance at them. It was as if she did not even realize that the two were arguing about her. Tyrion felt that an underserved catastrophe had fallen upon him.
"Ha ha ha, I heard that you did not take the foundation exam! Don't be one of the last again, or it'll be very amusing!" Donnie looked at Tyrion and laughed.
Tyrion looked back at him, deciding that he could not be bothered to pay attention to such people.
Donnie's behavior seemed childish to him. However, if he were to do nothing about his silly provocations, then Donnie would only think that he was an easy target and keep bullying him. Compared to Death Gate Academy, this was nothing.
"You can rest assured that my grades will be higher than yours." Tyrion sneered.
"Ha ha ha, you think you can score higher than me?" Donnie sneered.
Some of the noble apprentices beside them stopped and laughed too, commenting flippantly.
"Hha, did you hear that kid boasting that he would score higher on the fundamental knowledge test than Donnie?"
"Everyone knows that Donnie's fundamental knowledge test was only one mark short of the perfect marks, and this boy has not taken the exam before! So crazy that he dares to say such a thing!"
"Let's wait and see. We'll have a good laugh about this later."
After the first talent test, Tyrion had been treated as a joke. This was because he was seen as having a pitiful talent value, as well as possessing a very low success rate. So, many believed that he could never become a Chemist. In addition, Tyrion was just a civilian, born with no status and prospects, so they figured that they could bully him as much as they wanted.
"Why don't we make a wager?" Tyrion looked at Donnie and laughed.
Donnie sneered. "How do you want to bet?"
"If I lose, I will never appear in front of Kayla again. If I win, you can't harass Kayla in the future," Tyrion said.
"Fellow, you really are interested in Kayla!" Donnie looked grim, then said, "Hmph! My status is different from yours, so why should I agree to this unfair bet?"
"Then, let's change the bet. If I win, everything you own shall belong to me." Tyrion laughed.
Donnie laughed and said, "Deal!"
He didn't care about money or things much, and besides, he didn't think that Tyrion could beat him. The corner of Tyrion's mouth turned up in a smile. Then, having successfully achieved his goal, he immediately drafted two electronic contracts of their wager agreement.
"Sign the contract, both copies, so that person who loses cannot go back on their word." Tyrion signed his name, then sent the electronic contract to Donnie.
Donnie signed the contract without thinking much, then laughed and said, "With this contract as proof, no one can go back on their word."
The 10-minute break ended right after both of them signed the contracts, meaning that the fundamental examination had officially begun. Even though the fundamental examination was important, it took up only a small portion of the entire certification process.
Whoosh!
The examination questions soon flashed across Tyrion's table, allowing the apprentices to answer them directly on the screens there.
How many known F-grade herbs exist, and how many categories are they split into…?
Upon seeing the first question, Tyrion's mind instantly flooded with all sorts of pharmaceutical knowledge that the Heart of the Universe had crammed into his brain. As such, Tyrion instantly knew the answer.
He picked up the electronic pen and answered every question at an amazing speed. Even if Tyrion did not know the answers to some of the questions, he only need to search his memories to figure out what it truly was. It was as though he had answered the same questions in his memories multiple times. This was Tyrion's secret trump card!
The Basic Knowledge Certification Examination had a total of 1,000 questions, covering all categories, including experimental reactions, fusion reactions, pharmaceutical effects, and so on. As such, it was naturally impossible for anyone to answer all of these questions correctly, as even the Chemists had varying levels of adequacy in varied subjects and were unable to do so.
The five-hour knowledge certification test passed quickly...
"Time's up! We'll be collecting the tests now!" Aaron's voice rang out.
All of the tests were then locked and they could no longer answer any more questions. The electronic test files were then automatically sent to the main computer. In an instant, discussions rang out among the apprentices.
"We're finally done, but those 1,000 questions were too difficult."
"How many questions did you complete?"
"I only finished 400 questions, many of which I did not know the correct answer to."
"Answering all of the questions is impossible. I only answered a little more than 500 questions."

Just when everyone was discussing the examination questions, while waiting for their results, someone asked Donnie, "How many questions have you answered, master Donnie?"
Donnie said, an arrogant expression on his face, "Unfortunately, I only answered a few more than 800 questions. If I had more time, I could've finished all of them."
All the apprentices were surprised, as answering more than 800 questions was an amazing feat!
"How many did you answer?" Glory looked at Prince
"About 780 questions," Prince responded.
The noble apprentices smiled victoriously again, as without a doubt, their camp had once again surpassed the civilian camp!
"How many did you answer then, Mr. Lickeden?" Donnie asked Tyrion jokingly.
