Unbelievable

Tyr almost couldn't believe the words he was hearing.

"I failed? Is this an evaluation exam... how could I have failed?"

The monk swiftly replied with a stinging tone: "Evaluation or not, it is still an exam. An exam run by me..."

Tyr remained silent as the elder continued:

"It goes according to my rules, and my rules alone." He paused, catching a plum blossom on the tip of his finger.

"However... as an instructor, I still must proceed with the test and have you take your final exam. Just know that even if you catch 20 petals, you will have to stay here for a few months. You will learn non-arrogance and selflessness. After those months, another three-part evaluation exam will come. You will not know the date or time, so you will have to be on your best behavior at all times."

"Can it, you old bag," Tyr abruptly replied with an annoyed tone. From his face, one could tell he was infuriated.
