Chapter 278: The Final Practical Exam (Cruise)

[Cruise]

Another three weeks has passed since then, the day for the practical exam had then arrived as all 3rd year students of the academy had then been escorted out of the academy and head towards the pier where the cruise ship is located, which will bring them to the final examination island.

Upon arriving at the pier, the whole area of people near the cruise is filled with students coming from the Gritonnia Academy alone. A total of 236 3rd years are required to undertake this test, this number alone only consist of student from Gritonnia Academy.

Since it was stated that the final exam will be a joint examination for six academies combined, the Ascalon Academy had a total of 380 3rd years joining in, Horoscious Academy has a total about 199 3rd year students joining in, Orbium Academy has a total about 267 3rd years joining in, Ballad Academy has a total of 284 3rd years joining in, and Elludkal Academy has a total of 321 3rd years joining in. Which is a overall total of 1687 3rd year students as participants.

A huge crowd per se, due to that the port alone is crowded with students.

Soon after the students were then allowed to board the ship as each and every one of them are offered pre-arranged rooms upon entering the ship. Each student and personnel are given their own room. All of the rooms are private rooms for each individual, meaning there are no shared rooms in this ship.

Since this was pre-arranged in an attempt to make the students from each Academy mingle with one another and not stay in their typical stereotype groups, the professors and deans of the six Academies then mixed everyone up to the point that it will literally make anyone mingle with other students from other Academy even if both intended.

For Sephiria the room given to her is B124, Aria has room C021, Cedric has room A087, Wendy has room B234, and Shun has room D001 the very first room in the D section of the ship. Since he was in the D section, he then had no choice but to take the elevator 2 floors below the board deck, as he immediately saw his room at the first corner after exiting the elevator itself.

Soon after entering his room with his pass that was given to him earlier on, he then saw how big the room is, which is not more than about 244 sq. ft. Similar size to a small studio room. Which is not much but it is already large enough for only one person.

There's a sink, bathroom, shower, 1 bed, a couch, and a small table inside. The designs are all ordinary and the lights only consisted of 3 mode, bright light (white), dim light (orange), and off light (no light). In fact as a person who belonged to a modern era of housing, this was quite a catch of a room and is already good size to start a single or small family life. However if one is an aristocrat of this world, such size is unthinkable, unless one is open minded.

In that moment he already heard a shout coming from one of the area on the floor complaining about the size of the room.

"What the hell is the size of this room? It's only as big as our store room, is there any way I can change room?"

Of course in front of that outburst some of the personnel confronted the complaining person which then soon settled down when one dean from the six academies went down to investigate the chaos.

Unfortunately for them, Shun has no intention to mingle with the other students in this floor, so instead of getting involved with the students here, he prefer to simply be loner for awhile. After all according to the schedule given to them beforehand, the examination island is quite far from the mainland itself, in fact it is located in another countries territory despite the six academies owning its rights, due to that the travel time is expected to be atleast 4 days before they arrive and during this 4 days, Shun would atleast try to gain more achievements to accomplish 100% synchro rate with Wukong.

On that moment someone knocked on his door as the attendant told him through the gaps.

"Excuse me student! I know your resting but the deans of all 6 academies are requesting all the 3rd year students on board to head towards in the conference hall in about 2 hours from now, I hope you can attend it"

After saying what it wants, the attendant the left his door as it repeated its message towards the other doors on the floor.

With 2 hours of leisure time, Shun then sat on the chair as he closed his eyes dozed off from all the stress he had accumulated.

2 hours later, the students are then entering the conference hall one after another, as they all searched for their groups and sat among them. In that sense, the moment Shun entered the room, Wendy who saw him from afar whistled to him in a high tone, causing Shun to see them from afar and made him walk over in order to sit with his own group.

Of course this group only consist of the original members of the Otaku club, the crown prince, Wendy, Sephiria, Aria, and him.

After sitting down, Shun recognized some of the faces that are entering the room as some of them were his competitors from the six academies competition during his 2nd year. Seeing them now is truly a nostalgic experience as he seemed to remember that every as clear as day.

Soon after when all of the students had finally arrived and settle down, the conference rooms door then shut tight, as the lights dimmed and made to focus on the stage alone. Soon after the 6 deans and professors from the 6 academies who came along gathered on the stage, as they sat at their designated chairs and leaving only one dean to explain the situation.

"Good morning 3rd years from the six academies, I am the Dean from the Ballad Academy, and here I welcome you all to the final examination you will have as a student of our academy, right before joining the society. Once again I welcome you all"
