Chapter 307: Chapter 307
As Du You walked out, several other students did as well. Some were faster than him, others were still inside, apparently having rested for longer.
At that moment, a loud wailing sound suddenly came from the side. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
"How could this happen. I could have performed better. Why did I have to encounter an enemy who could counter me?"
A student Du You didn’t recognize was crying out to someone next to him, who seemed helpless. "Okay, okay. So you didn’t perform well, that’s just bad luck."
Frankly, he didn’t look good either, seemingly thinking he also had bad luck.
Soon, many students who came out seemed disappointed, discussing among themselves. Sure enough, in exams, most people feel they did not do their best.
Of course, there were also some showing off about something with smug looks on their faces.
The smug ones were attracting hostile glances. Seems like some people couldn’t help but want to punch them, yet no one did.
After a short while, a familiar face appeared—Lan Xiaodie.
When Lan Xiaodie came out, she also seemed dejected and sat next to the World Boat without uttering a word.
Soon, Daniu and Xi Qianxue came over to Lan Xiaodie: "What’s wrong? You look upset."
With disappointment etched across her face, Lan Xiaodie lifted her head. "I didn’t do well, it was terrible. I ran into a tough opponent and lost. It seems I can’t go to Capital University with you."
Xi Qianxue frowned, but then said coldly, "Don’t worry, my family has saved a spot for me. If necessary, I can give it to you. With my grades, no one will say anything if I bring along a follower."
This seemed to alleviate Lan Xiaodie’s sadness a bit. She then turned to Daniu, "And you, Daniu, can you do it?"
"Of course I can." Daniu raised his hand, making a strong gesture. "I have the strong support of my family. If I can’t even do this, I might as well kill myself."
"Thank you both," Lan Xiaodie said sincerely, tears finally falling from her eyes.
After comforting Lan Xiaodie, Xi Qianxue turned towards Du You: "Du You, you also finished the exam. How did you do?"
Du You did not expect Xi Qianxue to speak to him. Fortunately, the exam had just ended and there were very few hostile glances. Everyone’s attention was on their exam results.
Du You nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, I should be able to achieve my goal."
Du You surprised himself by finding out that he had the same goal as Xi Qianxue - Capital University. But considering that Capital University is the best school in the Asia Alliance, most people would want to attend if they could.
The institution’s popularity wasn’t purely due to educational quality, but also because of the resources and networking opportunities it provided.
While networking may not be important to Du You, the extensive records and research about the Derived World and the Outer World held by the university would be incredibly significant for him.
While some of this information was available on the Magic Network, it was not as detailed and some secrets would not be recorded. The most vital aspect was that the accuracy of the materials on the Magic Network was difficult to discern. You could never know if there were any hidden traps.
Just as Xi Qianxue was about to say something, a voice rang out like a loudspeaker, "Hahahaha, Lao san, I’m out."
Du You rolled his eyes, "Don’t be so loud, can’t you see everyone staring at you?"
"He’s always , didn’t we get used to it already?"
At this point, ’Lao Da’ also came out, glanced around, and nodded at Xi Qianxue without saying anything.
When she saw Liu Jian, Xi Qianxue simply nodded in acknowledgement, bid farewell, and left. Du You was a bit puzzled about these two.
But if ’Lao da’ didn’t explain, Du You didn’t care to ask.
"Why are they all crying? There’s no spirit in them at all. It’s just one test!" ’Lao Er’ finally noticed the atmosphere around, but still remained tactless and began to ridicule.
Although many people glared at Fang Shuo angrily, no one dared to fight. Firstly, this was a school compound, and secondly, Fang Shuo was a Professional while most of them were Semi-Professionals. They were no match for him.
Liu Jian calmly said, "Because the Professional examination only happens once. No second chances. Everyone must register for it in school, complete Law Formalization here, and then the exam happens. Nationwide, there’s only two months to prepare. If you exceed the two months, you lose your eligibility to take the exam. This is to screen out the real elite."
He paused for a moment then continued, "In other words, every individual only gets one shot at the Professional Exam. There are no second chances. You really should understand these things better."
Even though these words were directed at Fang Shuo, Du You also sighed internally. This kind of common knowledge was not in his memory.
No wonder. If preparation time was lengthier, say a few years, then the scores would be unreasonably high. The Asia Alliance couldn’t afford to select just anybody.
Fang Shuo touched his head, a little embarrassed, "Haha, I didn’t know that."
Seeing his frank, carefree face, Liu Jian gave up on saying anything more.
As the Professionals and Semi-Professionals finished their exams, the regular exams from the teaching building across the way still hadn’t started. It seemed the schedules were purposefully staggered.
Du You noticed some Semi-Professionals who hadn’t done well walking towards the teaching building, apparently to take the academic exams. He couldn’t understand their thinking.
The academic exams and the Professional exams were different. For the academic tests, you could retake them as many times as you pleased within a year. No one would have a problem with that.
When the last person exited the World Boat, the exam service personnel, who had been waiting at the side, quickly moved forward. They packed up all the World Boats and had them transported away in a very short time without letting anyone else touch them.
Throughout the process, they hardly made a sound. After they retreated, a few staff members who appeared to be proctors followed in their wake. They also boarded special aircraft and left. They took different rides, probably from different organizations.
