Mental exam

I would not hold back after all i need to get the attention of Principal Steward. He likes intelligent people and there's no real reason for me to fake, if I ace the mental exam it would help increase my score as I know I wouldn't do well in the physical exam. And higher scores equal to higher ranks which would prevent people from underestimating and attempting to bully me.

The exam is taking place in the hall. All the first years are expected to be in the assembly then the schools bus will take us to the hall to save time.

I watched as the assembly became fuller with worrisome students some still reading as they are on their way to the assembly.

Ring Ring~

A sound comes from the Bell and all the buses arrive immediately. All the students enter the buses and it starts moving. I stay at the back seat of the bus. I watch the students who are left behind trying to catch up to the bus.

"F'ing b*stards"

They succeeded in their mission weeding out the extras.Theybknew that the extras would not be able to make it back to the assembly on time and they used this against them. Very smart on their parts..

We arrive at the hall in 30mins. Students still reading trying to get as much information they can in such amount of time. They never warned everyone about the test. It was so sudden, I wonder how I would have reacted without the system... Actually I still wouldn't have cared the most they can ask us is basic knowledge after all which I am very comfortable with. I'm just using the system for it's convenience.

I step out of the bus. I see Peter and the twins but in different places. Who should I go to? The twins who are stronger and will be a better asset to me in the long run or Peter who I am close to gaining his full trust. Well... The twins of course! Peter is fully dependant on me already I can always come back to finishing his routes but for the twins it might be harder if they had someone else especially with Miley. I have to be the one who's shoulder she can lean on. 'What a drag'.

I approach the twins. Peter seems to be disappointed in my decision oh well..

"Hey! are you guys ready for the exam?" I say with a welcoming smile.

[+5 trust in Miley]

"Yes it is only a general knowledge test after all" Ferger says smirking.

"Ah yes thanks for asking" Miley replies.

I see her reading something. It seems like its a textbook. Now that I notice she seems to be very nervous about this exam.

"Hey don't worry it's going to be okay" I tell her leaning towards her to see what she's reading. This girl she's not even reading a textbook. A manga!?

"Ah you seem to not be as nervous as I thought" i said with a slight chuckle.

[+2 trust]

Her face turns red. She must be very embarrassed no.. flustered. It might be advantageous for me to use her growing feelings to my advantage but I might be an ahole but I'm not a scum. I have morals too and playing with the feelings of someone who I cannot love is something I can't do. I'll never become like him.

I back away from Miley and change my gaze to Ferger who was admiring himself in his mirror. Who admires himself in the mirror at a time like this he never fails to suprise me.

"All students should please drop all their books and appliances and enter the exam Hall."

"Well I should probably get going see you guys later"

"Alright bye!"

Students are dropping all their books. I approach the exam hall and I walk past the door.

Ding~

The lights above the door turn green as i walked past through. I sit on the 8th row third column of the hall. There were 10 rows and 11 columns. The amount of seats and the students were alligned with no extra seat or no incident of anyone not getting a seat. Did they plan this? They probably did but the question is how??

There were 500 objective questions and 10 theory. Every student is expected to submit their papers in 4 hour's time even so students are allowed to submit before the time span.

I glance through the papers well I should probably start with this.

'Word scan'

'...'

'Word scan'

'...'

'Word scan'

Finally done. I finished 2 hours before the time was over. No one seems to have been done yet.

"Sir I would like to submit my paper"

Everyone looks in his direction. Mumbles fill the room.

"*Mumble*" Of course I'm not an exception.

Lucas finished exactly the same time as me. Now that I'm thinking about it I should probably fail some of my questions to prevent unnecessary attention of someone being smarter than the protagonist.

At the end of the day I didn't really use word scan much only ten to twenty times. I definitely overestimated this exam. It was just too simple. I just had to wait now for others to submit I wouldn't mind being the 34th person to submit it's a little above average so it's just right.

____________________________________________

I ended up submitting an hour before the time span who knew I would have to wait that long. I ended up spending the latter of my time with Ferger who if I remember correctly was the 17th to submit.

I increased +5 trust during this time. Miley joined soon after.

I went back to my dorm after we talking to the twins for a while.

Peter, he must be very sad right now I should probably call to check in on him.

"Hey Peter, sorry I left you hanging at the hall. I needed to ask Ferger something relating the exam. You understand right?"

"*laughter*"

He's laughing? Hes supposed to be devastated right now.

"Hold on Lucas, Aaron's calling me."

"What do YOU want?"

He says in a cold manner. What!? Why is he acting like this?. This wasn't the plan.
