Chapter 240 Time For The Last Test

"Sir, what shall we do now?" One of the examiners asked as he pointed one of his fingers at the candidates in this exam who had failed because of the previous explosion.

The old man stopped looking at Minos and looked in the direction of the 1-star formation master apprentices, who at the moment had unfriendly expressions on their faces.

They still had a few seconds of examination ahead of them, but due to the disruption of their concentrations, several of them had failed and caused their formations to be destroyed.

Because that man's action had caused this, they could not help but get angry and think that such a thing was his fault and feel wronged.

"Sir, I was almost able to finish..." One of them was saying his words of protest when that old man raised one of his hands and stopped him.

"You don't have to say anything else. You have failed, so you are eliminated." He turned to leave that platform. "Good luck on your next attempt."

One of the young men harmed by his action got up from his seat and said with irritation. "No, that's unfair! How did I fail if an examiner's action got in my way during the test?"

Other examiners there did not say anything. Instead, they just watched that old man stop his movement and look to the side, where some of the approved candidates were waiting.

"Five people managed to finish their test within the time limit. That's more than enough of those who passed this test." He then looked in the direction of the candidate who had dared to speak the previous words to him. "Only two more of you would have a chance of passing, but tell me something. If you cannot keep your attention in such a situation, how do you want us to accept you into our organization?"

"Tsk!"

"Go away. Train your attention more, become faster in your formation manipulation skills." He gave that advice before leaving without giving those young losers more chances.

After hearing that, the youngsters there obviously did not like being penalized for such a thing, but who could they complain to? That old man was the supervisor of the day for these exams, so they could only accept their bad luck.

Even if they had influence, the local Formation Masters Association only held exams like these once a month. So, any complaints would have no immediate effect, and they would have to wait to take that exam one way or another.

Thus, they just swallowed their anger, feeling the world's injustice.

On the other hand, Cedric and the other observers there looked at Lothur, knowing that this incident had been his doing.

Some had envious eyes in his direction, not liking this guy who was so good-looking, had a beautiful girlfriend, and still had exceptional talents...

He was annoying!

Cedric was among these people, but because of his bet with Lothur, he was beginning to worry about the upcoming test and could not think much about the current problem.

On the other hand, Johann was curious to know what had happened. "What have you done? Why did the formation you altered explode when that man examined it?"

Lothur smiled and said. "He tried to spy on what I had done, so the self-destruct command I left in that formation activated."

"Oh?" This young man's mouth dropped open as he felt even more respect for Lothur. 'Not only was this guy the fastest in deactivating his formation, but he also found time to inscribe something else in there!'

'Not to mention that that was a defensive formation...'

"Hey, Lothur, you said you were forming your family, right? So what do you intend to do? Have you thought that joining a power that already exists might be more interesting?" He asked. "There are all kinds of advantages for talented people, so some powers surely are willing to give up certain things for someone like that..."

"Hmm, I know." Lothur nodded in agreement. "But I have my plans, and I don't want to get involved in other people's affairs."

"But what about you? Have you ever thought of participating in something great? I know you must have your responsibilities in the Teusen family, but if you want to be part of something revolutionary, you will have to go beyond the boundaries of this house..."

Johann forgot that he was trying to recruit Lothur and asked in doubt. "What do you mean? Are you telling me you have something fantastic in mind?"

"Hmm, if you want, look for Frederik Calis' carpenter store in..." Lothur gave Johann the store location of the carpenter who was developing his miniature vehicle. "I'm working with the person behind that place on a special project, so it won't be hard for you to find me there in the future."

"If you are interested, go to that place on the 20th in the afternoon. We'll talk in detail about it at that time." Lothur finished making his invitation to Johann as they followed an examiner to the location of the last test.

Johann listened to all that carefully, interested in Lothur's words. 'I must see as soon as possible where this place is...'

If it were a few hours ago, Johann would ignore the invitation from someone the same age as him, even more so after such a person said absurd things, like something 'great,' 'unique,' etc. But after seeing Lothur's unusual abilities, this person could not help but be moved by Annaliese's boyfriend's words.

'I'll see how he does in the last test, but he will likely have the best performance, once again...' He thought as their group reached the last testing area.

'In any case, I lose nothing by listening to his plans. And as my family has said so many times, it does well to be around competent people who are outside the curve!'

Meanwhile, Annaliese asked in a low voice to Lothur. "Do you want to recruit him? That is the first time I've seen you willing to work with someone who doesn't wear a dress..."

"Hehe, this fellow has a good future. Then he has enough for me to tolerate him because he is not a woman." Lothur joked with his sister-in-law.

The silver-haired young man then raised his voice a little. "At last, time for me to win a bet!"

Cedric heard this but said nothing, having just lowered his head and waited for the examiner's explanation of this last test to begin.

"Well, you who got here probably already know, but I'll repeat it. In this third test, you must produce an Iron-grade formation with at least 30% efficiency."

"We will provide you with all the necessary materials, and you will have 30 minutes to finish your projects." He looked at the faces of those five people there. "There are no limits beyond that, so whoever can meet that requirement will earn the formation master credential!"

After saying those words, he waved one of his hands, showing a large courtyard with several tables, where the necessary materials were in what looked like a pantry.

"If you are ready, begin!"
