Chapter 69: Final Test

"Do you really think we're just a bunch of hooligans?" Melissa slapped her forehead in disbelief. She couldn't believe Reign thought so poorly of their organization.

It was painful for her to hear him characterize their group that way.

Admittedly, Veiled Nights did take on various missions, ranging from assassinations to kidnappings and other unsavory tasks.

However, they also engaged in legitimate activities such as providing bodyguard services and more.

"Yes," Reign responded.

Melissa forced a smile at his blunt honesty, though inwardly she felt a twinge of frustration.

Nonetheless, she composed herself quickly. After all, he was her ticket to success and wealth.

"You'll understand better once you become a member," she interjected, attempting to steer the conversation in a different direction.

After their conversation, the remaining applicants entered another test room and commenced the test.

The room resembled a college classroom with desks where they were seated, each given test booklets.

They were each given a test paper containing 200 questions, with a strict time limit of 2 hours to complete them all.

Fortunately for Reign, the IQ test administered by the examiners had many similarities to the exams he had taken back on his previous world.

It was the normal type of IQ test commonly encountered in various educational and professional settings.

This type of IQ test includes a variety of question types to assess different cognitive abilities such as logical reasoning, verbal comprehension, mathematical ability, and spatial awareness.

Questions involve solving puzzles, completing patterns, analogies, mathematical calculations, and understanding written passages.

For Reign, this kind of exam that didn't require memorization or prior knowledge in a specific subject was child's play.

In just 20 minutes, he completed the 200-question IQ test, stunning some around him, while others thought he was just boasting, and some believed he had given up on the test altogether.

After all, 30 minutes did seem too short; that was like answering each question in an average of 6 seconds.

If every answer was correct, this implied that he possessed the ability to analyze and solve complex problems in mere seconds.

In real-life situations, his cognitive processing speed would likely surpass this, considering that IQ tests were designed to be hard.

In the opposite corner of the room, another person watched intently as Reign submitted his test paper.

'Maybe he's just pretending to be an smart ass and gave up on the exam,' she speculated silently, unwilling to acknowledge the possibility that Reign might be more intelligent than her.

Throughout the three test, it wasn't mandatory to reveal the code names of the examinees, so she remained unaware of the identities of the others.

"What the fuck!" Melissa's voice pierced through the air, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

She felt as though a bucket of ice-cold water had been dumped over her.

The revelation was utterly illogical.

How could Reign have scored a perfect 200 out of 200, and not only that, but he had accomplished it in just 30 minutes?

Even George was taken aback by the result.

While he believed he could also achieve a perfect score of 200 out of 200 if he took the exam, he knew it would take him at least an hour to do so.

Anna could do the same, but it was because she had lived for a longer time and had dedicated herself to home study.

But Reign? He was just a man-eating monster who could barely communicate a few weeks ago.

When the two looked at Reign, they saw him smiling at them mockingly.

.

'You think I will fail? I aced this type of test when I was 9,' Reign chuckled inwardly, reminiscing about his past life where he was considered to be among the top 0.00000000000001 %in terms of IQ

Seeing their shocked expressions brought satisfaction to Reign.

"Oh, why were you so shocked? Don't tell me you're unaware that among us three, you two actually are the most stupid," Reign added, fueling the fire with his sarcastic remarks.

"Then again, I guess people with stupid brains wouldn't be able to figure that out. Alright, I forgive you because as someone with higher intelligence, I must learn to be kind to those less fortunate," Reign chuckled aloud, his words dripping with condescension.

He was so loud that even the other examinees overheard him , so now they were sure that he was Rain , the person who got 200/200 in the IQ test .

Everyone felt a sense of unfairness. If there was a higher power, it seemed to favor only one being: Reign.

The unequal distribution of talents and fortunes left others feeling inadequate and bitter.

'No... No way,' Zoey felt weak in the knees. She couldn't believe she was dumb enough to compare herself to him.

What a comparison! She felt like an ant trying to beat an elephant.

Reign, on the other hand, couldn't care less about what Zoey thought. The only reason he mocked Mellisa and George was because they dared to underestimate him.

'Know your place, peasants,' he thought to himself proudly, his chest swelling with satisfaction as he watched their stunned reactions.
