Chapter 271: Test Examiner
Chapter 271: Test Examiner
Today is finally the day for the entrance exam. And as the assistant professor of air element, whose professor is the busy dean Dean, I will be the one to see the practical exam.
The exam is similar to what I did before, but it won't be inside an ice box. It will be just a normal pool, made of Blobbies. So, fifteen minutes underwater should be easy.
Though after this, once class has started, they will just attend class at least once, then they won't come back again thinking that it's worthless to learn more about air element. They will just attend other classes while enjoying the privilege of getting magic stones.
I remembered how I took the test to be an assistant professor. Dean forgot that I was also took the test while he is being awed with Wendy's performance. His reaction was quite funny.
It was cold, but I have experienced even colder water way deep into the sea. There are even times when I faced a monster that can freeze water. But as long as I can defeat them before they freeze the water, it was easy.
It is now the time for the written exam. Unlike before when I took the test in the arena, right now I'm behind the campus in an empty area. I can see everyone is trying their best for the exam from here clearly. Kayla and Jewel were put in different room. I can even see Sophie in the medical school campus. She's trying her best as well.
The questions in the exam were easy. As long as you listen during class in Introductory School, everyone is sure to pass. As for Sophie's exam, there are some simple questions about human anatomy. She studied it with me so I'm sure she's fine with those questions.
I guess I'll wait until the written exam is over. It will still go on for another two hours. I should take care of some things I can only do.
Cleaning up some cultists.
Since it's the time for entrance exam, there should be many people entering this city. And obviously, some cult members are here as well.
But the question is, should I kill them right away, or not?
If I kill every cult member, it would end up alerting other cult members.
For example, if I kill someone who tries to take the entrance exam, it will alert a fifteen years old cult member who is going to awaken their elements soon. They can't use magic yet, so they obviously won't have any explosive device in their mouth. It's useless for those who can't use magic after all.
I'll just inform the agents in this city about those cultists' existence in this city. They will take care of everything. Even making the cultist's death looks like an accident. I will just start killing after school starts.
Oh, right! I should inform Veronica and Celestine to never leave the house without disguising themselves. They need to wear flattening underwear every time they left the house. They are too famous. Who knows if some of the cultists that entered this city are their worshippers?
They only looked at the girls' bodies instead of their face. So, I hope no one recognize them from the face. But it's rude to remember people only from their body!
I'd like to call Sonia to inform the two, but she's in Monsters World right now. Attending ghost academy? She has been there most of the time since that time we had discussion about one month ago.
She said that there are some ghosts who want to be exorcised? I'll go there after she finished learning everything. Do your best, ghost!
I quickly returned to the base to inform Celestine and Veronica. Celestine is playing with the orphans, and Veronica is taking a bath. Hmm…
Oh, shit! No time to watch her bathing! I'll just have Celestine inform Veronica later.
"Celestine, what are you doing?" I asked as I approached her.
"Just playing with the children. Is the exam already over?" Celestine asked.
"No. Just informing you to be careful since there have been many newcomers in this city."
"I see… it's time for entrance exam after all. Have you seen any of them?"
"Some. But I want you to still be careful. Tell Veronica about this to. Do not forget to disguise yourself before leaving the house. Even if you are just playing with the children." I said.
"I understand. I'll go get changed soon. Good luck with the test." Celestine said.
"What do you mean good luck? I'm the one examining the test."
"I mean that the students who take your test should be prideful bunch since they already know that they can pass the test. They will make fun of you instead for being a professor who doesn't teach since they will leave your class later." Celestine explained. She knows since that's what we discussed last night over dinner.
"Hmm… that's right. But I'm fine with it. I've told you before that I'm a clown, right? A clown's duty is to make fun of everything, while also being made fun of. By the way, Thomas' circus will soon perform. You haven't seen me perform, right? After four or five times performing, I will finally perform again as a guest clown. I can't join right away since if everyone thinks that I'm the main member, the standard of performance will raise high. That's why I will just occasionally be the guest clown. I still need to inform the agents about the cult members here so I'll take my leave. See you later!"
I left the base and start looking around the city for other cult members. I should have done this every year, but last year, and the year before that, I just walked around in the middle of the school year when I accidentally see someone with explosive device in their mouth. That's when I search around the city. I only look around once I found someone with explosive devices in their mouth. If I hadn't found any, I wouldn't conduct a patrol.
I guess it mean I need to patrol more often. Sigh… I don't want to do that!
Even if I leave them be for a while, it's not like they will suddenly start a genocide. I'll just do it like usual and patrol once I found one.
After patrolling and informing the agents, I return back to the campus just in time for the written exam to be over. I returned to my post next to the Blobbypool and waited for the exam takers to arrive.
…I should build a Blobbypool from time to time for the children to have fun. It's not like I can always bring everyone to the lake or the beach. Especially since I'll be busy from now.
Finally, a group arrive. What is this? They agree to come together?
Oh? The female agents that I taught is also here. She looks surprised when she sees me. I guess Albert didn't tell everyone that I will be teaching here. Let's pretend we don't know each other, okay?
Seems like she noticed my intention and nodded. As expected of my student!
For now, I'll greet everyone first.
"Welcome to the air element magic practical exam. I'm the examiner here, Roy."
"Hey, Roy! Can't you just pass everyone here? I have gathered all the air mages who take the exam. I hear that we can pass easily just from this exam. Just pass everyone here and you will be praised by your peers that everyone has passed. Then you can rest easy since you no longer need to monitor us. That's a win-win situation, right?" A man who seem to be the leader, stepped forward and said so cockily.
I guess that's cool he gathered every air mage here, but he's annoying.
"It's true that you can pass easily. But you need to take the exam no matter what. Don't worry, this is the easiest exam. The only way you can fail is if you are not an air mage. You just need to stay underwater for fifteen minutes. You can dive inside the pool, or just dunk your head. This test is easy, but it took times. So… one, two, three… there are eleven of you. That's more air mages than I expected. You can all take the test together since the pool is quite large. That way, the exam will be over sooner, and everyone can go home. How about it?" I explained the rule to everyone.
"There is no way I would dive in there! As I said, just pass us already! There's no need for a test that has a hundred percent rate of success!"
The cocky man is angry. Why? Don't tell me that he's actually not an air mage? He gathered everyone thinking that I would be afraid, huh?
I have got an idea.
"Why are you so insistent on not taking the test? Don't tell me that you're not an air mage, and just here thinking that you can pass if you gathered every air mage who take the exam? That's stupid. By the way, once you're here, you have to take the test. If not, you're already considered failed the exam."
"You! You're just a stupid professor who doesn't teach anything! Don't talk back to me!" Cocky man is angry.
I looked at his nametag. For the exam, everyone must wear a tag. And cocky man's name is Mason.
By the way, I just find out today that the female agent's name is Sara.
"I guess you failed the exam, Mason. Congratulation on being the first mage who failed air element practical exam. Good luck in your other exams." I said.
Once you take an exam, you can do other exams as well before it's dark. It will increase exam takers' chance in passing.
"You! I will remember your name, Roy! I will tell my Papa about this!" Mason said.
Did he actually just say Papa? That Papa must be spoiling his son too much then.
"So, the spoiled cocky brat has left. The rest of you are really air mages, right? Just take the test. If you want to do it faster, just do it all together. I prepared a towel for you. Just dunk your head into the pool, and wait fifteen minutes. That's all."
After Mason left, the other exam takers no longer care about him and just take the test. All of them passed easily.
And it seems like that cocky brat is really not an air mage. After he left, he tried other exams, and failed terribly. He just wanted to pass easily by pretending to be an air mage. I guess I will face his Papa later. Should I call Albert?
For now, ten people pass, and one failed. I guess I should wait in case there are other air mages coming. It's the most annoying part of being an examiner. Maybe I will wait while practicing new tricks for my future performance.
