Chapter 118 Exam
I checked the caller and it turns out it was Grandpa Alger. Happily, I excitedly answered his call.
"Hello? Grandpa?"
{Little sun how are you?}
His voice entered my ears and my eyes landed on his holographic image.
"I am doing great"
I genuinely replied but then his reply made me frown. It was a laugh he usually does when he finds something interesting.
{I heard what happened little sun}
I suddenly felt chilly and somehow I don\'t know what to say.
"What do you mean grandpa?" I said pretending to know nothing about the thing he was trying to imply.
With that answer, I heard him chuckle again which made my assumption correct.
This is not really good
Should I lie?
But he knows me way too well that lying will only cement his thoughts.
{I saw it, you see the emperor asked the tower to investigate, so while we searched under those rubbles and dirt we found something}
Oh shit, I thought while knowing his next words.
{Do you really think the tower won\'t recognize something that is created there? Though honestly, I didn\'t think you would fix the problem with the mechanized soldier. You even improve its sheath apparatus}
"..."
{Why aren\'t you speaking?}
"Well I am sorry for taking them without saying anything and please tell Brother Gavin I did some stuff inside the soldiers"
{Hahahaha....no need to worry and about the traces you amateurishly tried to erase we already took care of it. No one will know you are there with your friends"
OPPS, just how much did they get?
Did they also find out about my spell Clonis? Hopefully not since it\'s the thing I like to keep a secret.
"I hope I didn\'t cause too much trouble"
{Dont worry you didn\'t my child}
"By the way the way we will start our exam today"
{Yes I did hear so me and some selected mages will go there to watch you}
"Really!"
{Yes so be sure to do your best}
"I will!"
"{Alright I\'ll drop this call...}

Then a sudden bang masked Grandpa\'s voice making me worried.
"Wait was that an explosion?"
{Ah that? We are just having a small competition on who will be allowed to go there with me. I\'ll call you once we are nearby}
"Okay take care"
{I will}
My call ended but I still felt happy
"Gotta make sure I pass"
"Apollo!"
I heard Arabella\'s voice so I answered.
"Yes?"
"The first exam is starting we should head to the examination room"
"Okay"
I finally closed the book I was holding and left the library of our dorm.
"So what was the first thing we need to take?"
Agnes asked while reading the reviewer one last time.
"History and Geography"
Hearing those words from Niko made Mckenzie groan, it seems he is still not confident about passing this subject. All I could do was tap his shoulder. Blair on the other hand kept on muttering something beside me, that I had almost mistaken him for a deranged priest.
As we left the dorm building we saw Professor Adolfo waiting for us outside the gate.
"Morning student"
"Good morning professor"
"It seems some of you are still worried well that\'s okay, I believe all of you will pass"
"Professor, can we ask something?"
Jillian came forward before Professor Adolfo could even start walking.
"Yes student Jillian"
"Ah, it\'s about your exam you haven\'t told us anything"
"No need to worry I will announce it after you take all of your four subjects, for now, focus on your current exams"
He kindly told us, though somehow it feels weird when he acts like this
[It feels like a calm before the storm Creator]
"Don\'t say that, don\'t raise flags here"
After exchanging some other questions our professor leads us to the place where the exam will take place.
It was one of the open fields inside the Academy and built inside that area are eight mid-size towers.
"I am assuming those eight towers are for the eight classes"
Agnes concluded finally putting away her reviewer.
"Yes, the one at the back is the one assigned to your class"
"You mean the one that I can\'t almost see?"
Mckenzie said while using his hand as binoculars.
"Yes"
Professor Adolfo answered again.
"Well well if it isn\'t the lower class"
"Look everyone we got some..."
"BANG!"
Before they could even continue what they wanted to say Matilda fired a bullet on their way.
"Why do we have to hear them speak every time we go outside"
She said while putting back the gun into her ring.
"They are just some people who couldn\'t handle the pressure and demand of this Academy. So what they do is find people who could be the pot that will receive all their insecurities, that way they will feel a little better about themselves"
Alicia just said looking cold like she usually does.
It was a bit fortunate that Professor Adolfo teleported us right in front of our designated examination facility. If we walked across the other students we might get into a fight if by any chance they tried to approach us.
"Alright, this will be my stop, once all of you enter it will be the signal of the start of the exam. So be sure to prepare yourselves before entering"
"Yes, professor!"
Then he slowly walks away and starts observing us from afar.
"Alright the official start of this exam is 8:00 to 11:00, we will have our lunch after that then return here for our next exam, 1:00 - 3:00 pm. Then the last two will be taken tomorrow with the same time slot"
Alicia explained looking quite serious.
"Currently it\'s 7:30 we are allowed to start the exam early if we want to and it will still end at 11:00 am, so what do you guys think? Should we go inside or wait until 8:00 am?"
With Alicia\'s words, they began to think while I remained silent since it didn\'t really matter to me what time we started.
After five minutes they conclude.
"Let\'s do this!"
Mackenzie was strangely active making me relieved, he must have gained some confidence.
"Okay we still have 20 or more so let\'s go in"
Alicia finally smiled as she said those words.
We all came forward and calmly opened the door, and nervously entered. A white blinding light began to bind us until a dry and burning air welcomed us, or more correctly me.
I smirked as I felt the intensity of the situation.
"Here it is"
I said and my eyes looked straight at the words floating above.
"To escape this room you must complete the sequence of events that happened in the Age of Extinction. What you do will conclude its ending which is needed to be the same as the one in the history books, so choose wisely"
[It\'s finally starting]
"Yes"
Back in our class professor Gelda, revealed to us that our examination in her subject would be a simulation of the things we have discussed in her lesson. That includes all the overviews she once discussed at the beginning of the school year.
"The first lesson was the age of extinction"
A warm air penetrated my skin while a couple of roars and screams came from a distance.
"I need to know first where and who I am"
According to the professor we will take on one of the historical figures in history, and our decision will decide the outcome of this scenario. If we choose the correct answers and the ending I make is the same as the one on the books then I will proceed to the next part of the exam.
I looked around at my body and found out I was wearing a military uniform.
"This style don\'t tell me..."
[You are Yuan from the Qin kingdom!]
"Yes, Yuan the soldier who will die after bombing the black bridge"
[He did but after he did that he was able to save thousands of people!]
So the figure I possess is Yuan, but then why is he here?
Did I perhaps miss something while reviewing last night?
[Creator! Run!]
"What?"
My body suddenly tensed up as my eyes saw a huge demon salt iron crocodile.
It was a swarm of them
[Run!]
Yes I will definitely run
I move my legs and strangely I am way slower than before.
"What the hell!"
I ran like there was a ton of stuff at my back.
Wait was there something like this in history? I searched my mind and an answer came to me.
"That\'s right he was the one who first discovered the demonic breakout at the northern river marsh.
[Creator runs faster!]
"I am trying to!"
Frustrated I ended up shouting at him.
