A Short Reputation

"What? You passed?" Fang Yuxie asked, her eyes wide with shock.

"Really?" Wang Yanwei asked as well. 

Neither of the women seemed to have any sort of hope that he would've passed the exam at all. So when the news came that he did, both of them were more than surprised. 

"Yes, I did," Alex said. "I wouldn't lie about such a thing."

"Holy shit!" Fang Yuxie screamed in surprise.

"H-how is this possible?" Wang Yanwei questioned, unable to believe.

Alex looked at the two's surprise, which somehow crossed his own feeling of surprise when he heard his name being called out.

"Umm, you two do realize that I still only passed a preliminary test right?" he asked. "I still have to pass the actual entrance test before I join the sect. And the chances of that happening are ridiculously low."

"I know," Wang Yanwei said. "But even so, the fact that you managed to pass the preliminary test is incredible."
