"What have I done?"
Seeing the confused expression of her fiancé, Layla covered her mouth while holding back a chuckle which, in the end, made it look like she was giggling.
It happened quickly. Archie did have some thoughts of his own, trying to guess the reason, but still, he wanted to get a definite answer from someone who already knew it.
“Hihi. Don't worry, Archie. You passed, you know,” said Layla.
Unbeknownst to Archie, the grading stage of this written exam was a little different from what he had previously thought. In his world, all students will complete the questions given, multiple choice or essays, and are given several hours to complete them. After that, the assessment stage is carried out, namely calculating the correct answers and reduc
The next following day, Layla takes Archie to the next practice exam. Where it is in a prime university location.Many people had gathered in front of the entrance gate. Archie thought they were all students from the same university. Apparently, there were also common citizens and students from universities outside the Litera empire.They all gathered to watch the practice exam from First Class, which, indeed this exam had become quite a popular spectacle among students. Apart from being able to see the prospective students, they could also judge the future of the empire through the abilities of the prospective students in this First Class.“It's a bit busier than when I was,” Layla muttered."Maybe it's because of the news that Razor entered First Class?"
The old man, namely Dominique Dunn, gave his brief introduction and remarks regarding the current practical exam. “This information may have been circulated to several participants, but I will repeat it again on this occasion. The First Class exam will be divided into two sessions, and in the end, the slots for this year will only be six people.”The facilities provided to superior students are no joke. They would get the peerage title even if they weren't aristocrats and would graduate from university while still being entitled to the peerage for the rest of their lives. However, this title cannot be passed on to their children.Maybe that's the privilege many people want after hearing Dunn's words. Very few, or perhaps not, think of taking the educational ladder to a higher level. Even those in Redcaste were only thinking about completing their mi
It doesn't take long for Archie to realize that he is being stalked or that something is trying to dissuade him from continuing on his journey. Without knowing what really happened, Archie could only think that it was one of the enemy's ways to fail him in this first phase test. Although their actions were relatively trivial.Archie is confronted by dozens of monsters made of dirt, rocks, plants and roots, all of which vary in size and shape. Considering it was an irregular dungeon, it could be said that even the monsters inside could be controlled or created at will.One of them started moving. The speed is average. The creature swung its punch casually. Followed by a second creature with an ordinary response. In fact, no cooperation at all."What is this? Toys, huh?” said Archie, a little confused after obse
“Tch. Bastard!” Razor cursed in dissatisfaction. One of the participants he was currently aiming for was no longer something he could fight against.The defeated man's figure came out of the artificial irregular gate with a look of extreme disappointment. "Unlucky. Unlucky. Unlucky!" At this time, at least, he had learned something very important: not to relax easily in every situation and condition and always be alert to whoever he faced.Archie is the second outgoing guy after the previous one.Layla excitedly greeted him, stood up from her seat, and shouted at him. Archie tried his best to ignore Layla's attention-grabbing attitude as he walked toward her.Nobody believed what had just happened. The magical screen didn't show what Archie was doing as they
Five tributes have fallen, all of whom Razor defeated alone. Five participants have passed to the next round.Although facing three participants simultaneously, including anticipating his opponents’ classes, Razor still manages to beat them in a relatively short battle. It could be seen that the most significant difference was not only due to their strength, but experience dominated the fight flow just now.As expected, all the participants had no complaints regarding Dunn's dummy setup hindering them participants.“Ten slots left and there are still twenty pesetas to fight for this position.”After announcing the other participants' defeat, the remaining ones started to be aware of moving in groups for safety. They knew Razor was after most of the part
By the end of the first phase, only fourteen participants had passed and thwarted the other sixteen, most of which were impressively the work of Razor.Razor was the last person to come out of the irregular dungeon gate as a passing participant. Followed by the other fourteen with their expressions of accepting the bitter reality that they had failed.“You guys are taking too much caution which is leading you to run out of time. In fact, if you are able to look at the situation and a wider perspective, you should be able to take advantage of this situation for yourself."The 14 failed entrants are receiving an advisory banquet from the old man Dunn. They didn't necessarily fail the entrance exam to Unifine, they could still take Second Class and Third Class, but that also meant they had to give up this golden
"Then I will explain the graded points on this exam," continued Dunn.The First Class has been proclaimed as candidates who can fulfil the most important requirement in dungeon conquest, namely their team cooperation. The assessment of this last phase will also be taken from the same side, seeing how the contribution of individuals during the dungeon conquest."Seriously? Then I can't be set free from these scums?” Razor still wouldn't take Dunn's explanation for granted.Of the remaining participants who are currently willing to take the exam, are twelve people. On a normal occasion, one party should consist of two to five people. If so, then the current number wasn't that convincing."Six-six, huh? Can it take like that?” Right now, Razor is preoccupied with some snake demons. Not only that, it looks like he's also having a hard time because his poison skill doesn't have any effect on those monsters.“Damn it! Don't tell me they're immune to poison?” Razor was still holding back the snake demon's sharp slash, and suddenly the snake breathed a purple breath right into Razor's face.“Cough, cough.” Holding his breath, Razor jumped back and covered his nose with his hand. “Bastard. Poison too?”If the enemy has immunity to his poison skills, it is balanced if he also has resistance to poison, but Razor does not. He's still human, no matter how hard he tries to resist it. His body slowly weakened, and his vision blurred. It would be very difficult fighting alone in that urgency.Isekai Grimoire System Ch. XV: The Second Stage (II)
