Chapter 28 Monthly Test (Part I)

Two weeks have passed since the note incident that transpired. We had regular weekly meetings that would take place at the same time. I still couldn't grasp what she wanted from me in all these meetings. It wasn't as unpleasant as I sought it out to be. While the person may be weird, she is not the wrong person.

As days passed, the three of us did almost everything together. Olivia and Serena sometimes would bicker over something trivial. I would laugh at them when it was over something so petty, and I would have to step in if they went too far.

Overall, the days passed were enjoyable and relaxing without me having to worry about anything.

I was about seventy-five percent finished with my kidney, and it would at least take a week for me to finish. However, the monthly test was approaching, and I hoped everything would end up alright.

Yesterday was the day when Olivia ranked up. It was a good thing because today was the monthly test day. With her being a second-level magician, she would have a higher chance of being my classmate.

Celebrating Olivia's success, we went out and bought things that Olivia wanted and ate where she wanted. It was pleasant and tiring but overall a great day.

Today will be filled with uncertainties as the teachers of our class haven't told us anything about the exam.

Having a refreshing breakfast with my roommates, we went to our class. First, I bid Olivia farewell, hoping she would do well in her exams. Then, Serena and I went to our seats, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

With the teacher arrived, our attention went to her. Everyone was nervous. Everyone here was someone from a prenominate family. Failing here would mean shame to their family, and it wouldn't be funny if some of them got hurt because of that.

"Class, as you know, today will be our monthly exam. Knowing most of you has been nice, but some of you wouldn't be in my class." Our teacher said, making the atmosphere in this class gloomy. I couldn't tell if she was told to mess with us.

With everyone competing with four hundred and ninety-nine other students, it would bring out the best in most of us while the rest will fall due to pressure. After all, only the best of the best would make it to the top.

"Our first exam would be the written exam, you would be given two hours to complete it, as a word of advice just write whatever you can if you don't know the answer just do it. As soon as I hand out the papers, you may begin." She said as she handed us a paper with four pages on it.

With the test starting, I began to look at the questions and started writing. I may not be the most intelligent person, but I wasn't the dumbest. So it shouldn't be too hard to use Charlie's knowledge from when he was isolated in the house and during my time learning during class.

Two hours had passed, and the written exam was over, I was happy with my answers, and I doubt even an idiot would fail this test. With the teacher collecting our test papers, I looked around the room to see everyone's reactions. Most of the people here were relieved that they finished the exam quickly, while the rest were crestfallen worried that they did horrible on their test.

"Are you confident in your answer?" I asked my neighbor who was relaxed when the test was over.

"It was pretty easy. Anyone with a brain could answer it with ease!" Saying that loudly some of our classmates looked at her and silently cursed at her.

I wanted to laugh when she said that, but that would earn me some scorn from my current classmates, so I held it in.

"Make way to the test field. We will begin the practical test in thirty minutes." Ms. Celeste said as she left the room.

Leaving our class, I saw Olivia with a classmate of hers. I remember her mentioning that she got along with a classmate with her. It must be her. She was a shorty just as she described her.

Like most people, she was blond but had her hair styled pigtail, towering at the height of 4'6, having the same color eyes as me but sharper-looking eyes. She had a black hat and was dressed in entire black. Her rough acting attitude made it seem like she was part of a gang.

Both Serena and I walked over and greeted them. Olivia, who was with her friend, greeted us as we walked toward them.

"Ah! Let me introduce you guys!" It was a great move from Olivia's side to introduce us. We didn't know much about the other person's name. It would have been great if she had introduced us.

"This is my classmate Jenny! Even if she looks rough, she is a big softy on the inside." She said with a soft smile.

"Hey! Don't go telling everyone I'm a softy!" She screamed at Olivia while pointing her finger at her, flustered by her introduction.

"Hehehe~ But it's true." She gave her a squeeze and gave a cutesy reply.

"Hmph!" The tsundere was too embarrassed to look at us. She was an interesting character, to say at least.

"These two are my roommates. The kind-looking person is Charlie Solaris. She is someone you can talk to despite all your worries." Olivia gave me a warm and sweet hug as she introduced me. I smiled at Jenny, giving her a generous, friendly gesture. She looked at me shyly and retracted her eyes.

"The person next to Charlie is Serena Celeste. She may be rude, arrogant, and someone who would pick a fight for petty reasons, but overall she is a good friend even if she is stuck up most of the time." I guess Olivia still held a grudge against Serena that one time.

Serena, who heard her introduction, clenched her fist. She was angry at how Olivia gave Jenny a wrong impression of her. She glared at Olivia, not saying anything.

It was awkward for these few seconds. "Why don't we walk together for our practice test? If we don't go now, we might miss it." I said, making our way there.
