Ch 10 : University entrance exam

Days passed, and without them noticing, the University entrance exam had finally come.

These past few days, nothing much had happened. After all, Cade had put all his attention into the University exam.

The bullies also had been taken care of, so there's no one that was stupid enough to mess around with Cade.

Cade previously didn't have any intention to go to University. Therefore, it could be said that his knowledge was behind his peers. And because of that, he had no other choice but to spend almost all his time cramming about the University entrance exam material.

And as for his Arcane Card and rank-up strategy, Cade decided to put them behind.

Anyway, he felt that the current him should barely be able to enter one of the top five universities and after he got into the top University, Cade believed that the resources and training there would be worth his time.

" Hahahaha, so even you struggled with the exam!!!"

"...."

Out of nowhere, Grigory's sound appeared. It seems that he really enjoyed Cade's suffering.

Still, Cade didn't put any mind to Grigory's words.

He just pretended that he didn't hear anything as he was way too nervous for the university entrance exam, and now his focus was also put on something else.

The university entrance exam would not be held in the school but rather have a public examination place.

And in front of Cade, being surrounded by a lot of admirers, was one face that Cade was pretty familiar with.

Beautiful would have been an understatement for her. Standing right in the middle of the crowd was a young girl with short blonde hair. She had crystal blue eyes, a small but not too small nose, and a well-proportioned face. And even though her face looked very delicate, she had a well-developed body, where everything that should've developed was developed well, adding her charm to another level.

Currently, she was trying her best to look elegant and smile in front of all the crowds, but Cade knew that inside she was actually bothered by all the attention given to her.

One of the main heroines of the game, as well as a capture target. Luna Forewater, daughter of Luminous city's mayor who was also one of the most powerful figures among humanity, and a rank (VII) Arcane.

And as for why Cade could see she was secretly annoyed, it was none than because when he played the game, Luna was one of the routes that he had finished.

The game developer had made Luna's demeanor calm and collected outside, while on the inside she actually had a fiery personality. She wanted to break free from the chain that her father's name brought her and wanted to prove herself.

It was also the reason why rather than going through the recommendation, she would come here and do the entrance test personally.

Under the urging of the impatient examiners, the examinees took a deep breath and stepped into the "Examination Chamber" tagged with their student numbers. The chamber door sealed shut, and the entire room became deathly silent.

Here, their future would be decided. Of course, not being accepted into a good university didn't mean that your career would instantly be over, but you would undoubtedly trail behind those graduating from a good university.

"I have given my all for this. There should be nothing I should fear." Cade clenched his fist resolutely as he tried to convince himself.

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*

On an inner face of the examination, chamber appeared a hologram, upon which a number ticked. At the moment, it was counting down. Upon hitting zero, an emotionless, mechanical voice sounded out.

<<The examination has begun. Prepare yourself, student!>>

In response, at the desks where the examinees were currently sitting, thousands of questions appeared simultaneously.

It was the first part of the entrance exam, which was the writing test.

To those who have rank (IV) or higher Arcane Card, they might directly skip this step. But even after fusing his Arcane Card, Cade's was still a rank (III) and he had no other option but to go through this test.

A transparent screen that had a space for him to fill in the answer appeared in front of Cade.

Then, one by one he started to solve the questions in front of him.

Q1. Please write the name of this monster.

On Cade's desk, a dark red ancient Griffin appeared. Using the hologram features, students could now observe the feature of the monsters more clearly before writing their observations in the answer section.

Cade sighed in relief as he seemed to know the name of the monster. He then wrote on the screen 'Red Obsidian Griffin'.

Q2. Please fill in the features…."

Cade wrote down the features of the 'Red Obsidian Griffin.'

Q3. Please identify its weakness…"

Cade then the weakness of the Red Obsidian Griffin that he had learned from the book.

Q4. Please….."

A lot of questions like this appeared in the one thousand questions that Cade was required to answer. To be honest, this was one of the simplest questions and also the most monster identification.

In order to survive the battlefield, you must know about your enemy, and this is also why the university entrance exam places a great point on the theoretical test.

Inside the examiners' room, a huge screen about the size of a theater's screen gradually appeared within their sight.

Here, the screen would display the result of the examination to the public. Of course, the huge screen only shows the top 100 students among all the students participating here.

After all, only those 100 people were worth fighting for.

Just like how the students were struggling to find the best University for them, the universities were also finding the best students to recruit.

With the results being updated all the time due to several rounds of different examination segments when the final list is confirmed at the end of the exam, that will naturally be the name list of the students that they should pay more attention to.

And among them, there's a name that every one of the examinees here closely paid attention to.

Rank 1: Luna Forewater.
