Three days later, the questions of the mock exam were out.
As usual, the fifty newly recruited students would answer the questions on the spot to verify their understanding of magic theory in the past month.
There were a hundred questions in total, and each question was worth one point. Mentor Solina and the judges would evaluate and grade them on the spot.
In a special test room that was five hundred square meters wide in the academy, forty-nine children were already seated.
The chief examiner was Solina, and the ten mentors of various departments were on the judging panel.
The exam would begin in three minutes. Solina glanced at the faces of the children.
What she saw was nervousness, lethargy, and frustration.
It was just a simple routine test. Did they have to be so bitter?
It seemed that all the students in the academy had the same problem.
Whenever they heard the word "exam", they would immediately lower their heads and hide their faces to avoid the exam.
"Huh?
Why is there an empty seat? Who's not here? "
Solina noticed that one person was missing.
She glanced at the children again and immediately confirmed her target. It was Zhang Xing from the fifth group.
The fifty students were divided into five groups. They could answer after discussion, or they could answer first.
Fifty points were compulsory for groups, and the remaining fifty points were for individuals.
However, another rule was added this year. If anyone had a different opinion from the students who answered first, they could debate.
The result of the debate would be decided by the chief examiner and the judges.
The prizes for the first place in groups and the top ten in individuals were set.
She checked the magic clock. There was one minute left.
This little guy wouldn't not come, would he?
It was not that Zhang Xing wasn't coming, but that he was stopped by two middle-year students the moment he walked out of the dormitory.
"You're Zhang Xing, aren't you?"
Said a smiling boy who was fifteen or sixteen years old kindly.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xing nodded in confusion.
"Here's the thing. We have a favor to ask of you." The smiling boy looked around and said, "Let's talk over there. It's not convenient here."
He even gestured politely for Roland to follow him.
The other boy smiled in agreement.
"Oh, okay then!" Zhang Xing moved to the corner.
The two older kids behind him smiled cunningly, as if they had succeeded in their scheme.
The three silhouettes disappeared around the corner of the dormitory. No matter which direction they looked from, they couldn't see what was happening there.
A few seconds later, a series of muffled sounds came from the corner. Then, Zhang Xing walked out calmly with a mocking smile on his face.
"Trying to play this game with me? You guys are still far from it. I used to play this game when I was in elementary school!"
When Zhang Xing entered the examination hall, the clock had just rung.
Ms. Solina glared at Zhang Xing and moved her eyes away. Then, she said with a smile, "Alright, all the students are here. The test begins!"
"For the first question, please explain your views based on the magic I've demonstrated."
Ms. Solina walked to a desk that was about three meters long. She took the beaker down from the flame and put it aside. The boiling water inside was still boiling.
Then, he chanted a few words in a low voice. His hands were about a foot away from the beaker, and he gently lifted it up.
A miraculous thing happened. The steam rising from the boiling water disappeared.
"Now, I've instantly lowered the temperature of this cup of water to about 5 degrees Celsius. If any of you feel hot, you can take a sip to cool down."
"Huala!"
The kids below all laughed. The tension in the air was relieved.
"Let's begin!" As soon as Ms. Solina finished speaking, the examination hall fell silent.
