CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 196: THE EXAM BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS IS A WAR

"Perhaps there’s another way."

The Magical Girl had been here the longest and knew the most about Saint Karno School among them; she suddenly remembered another possibility.

"Every year before school starts, Saint Karno School holds an exam with a registration fee of 10 Gold Coins. If one achieves excellent results in this exam, they can be admitted exceptionally."

Shami frowned slightly.

He hadn’t heard of this method during his visit to the admissions office of Saint Karno School.

"I haven’t heard of this exam."

"That’s because the exam is extremely difficult. Initially, many people eagerly signed up to take it, but later discovered that it’s basically a waste of money to sit in the exam hall for two hours, as hardly any examinee could answer the questions. Gradually, no one considered this a viable way to enter school."

The Magical Girl explained.

"Though it’s common for examinees to fail year after year, there are exceptions. Last year, two people passed the exam and entered Saint Karno School. They were Forest Guardians. Since many questions were related to the forest, which happened to be their area of expertise."

"Now, those who register for this exam, aside from the guessing experts in Saint Karno City, are mostly people wanting to try their luck."

The Magical Girl said slowly.

"Is it the ’Luck Exam’?"

The white-haired girl suddenly recalled Harlan mentioning an exam regarding Saint Karno School during their conversation.

The Magical Girl nodded.

"Exactly. It’s known as the ’Luck Exam,’ a test officially held by Saint Karno School that features completely random and non-repeating questions."

The Magical Girl glanced at the crowd.

"The ethos of Saint Karno School believes that sometimes luck is also a part of one’s ability and life. If examinees can answer the random questions correctly, becoming a student at Saint Karno is a gift bestowed by their luck."

Such an exam exists after all.

Shami fell into thought.

"This exam doesn’t specify which knowledge points will be tested. From the leaked exam questions over the years, it’s clear that there are no repeating questions, and they are completely random, covering all aspects. It tests the examinee’s luck."

After listening to the Magical Girl’s words, Elze also lost hope in this exam.

"If you want to take this exam, you’ll have to hurry; the exam is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. All registered participants will take the test at the same time."

The Magical Girl thought for a moment and announced the exam time.

"Ah, no, never mind..."

The purple-haired maiden lowered her head, shaking it somewhat discouraged.

"I’ll cover the exam fee."

At this moment, Shami looked determinedly at the purple-haired maiden.

"Eh?"

The purple-haired maiden was surprised.

"Elze, this kind of luck-based exam should be taken, shouldn’t it? Until the moment you see the exam paper, everything is undecided."

"Exactly. Don’t worry, Elze, we’ll do our best to help! Give it a try, the Goddess of Luck will favor you!"

The Elf Maiden leaned forward and clasped the purple-haired maiden’s hands.

"Thank you all."

Elze was touched and pursed her lips.

"Then let’s take the exam!"

Elze and Shami once again headed to Saint Karno School to register for the exam. By the time they returned to the inn, it was already afternoon.

The exam was scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow.

That meant, counting everything, the purple-haired maiden only had two days for review now.

In the café, she agreed to the idea out of gratitude, but when it came down to reality and facing the exam, Elze discovered how challenging it was.

Initially, she found herself in a state of confusion.

In the inn, everyone else went out to gather exam-related information, leaving the purple-haired maiden alone at home.

In the bedroom.

The purple-haired maiden sat at the desk, her hands anxiously scratching her hair.

In such a short time, it felt like nothing was enough to cover everything!

But with everyone so eager and working hard for her exam, how could she afford to back down?

The Dragon Race Maiden forced herself to pull it together. After organizing her thoughts in her mind, she came up with a rough study plan.

She decided to break down the upcoming time into minutes, planning out what content to study at each moment.

The Dragon Race Maiden decided to give it her all!

—

An exam without any designated knowledge points, where anything could be tested.

It’s essentially an exam testing the examinee’s luck.

If you are lucky enough to complete this exam, you can become a student in the top academy of the Aireland Continent!

It’s undoubtedly like a gamble.

But from another perspective, this can also be seen as an exam testing the breadth and depth of the examinee’s knowledge.

If an examinee has a vast amount of knowledge in their mind, they’ll surely be able to answer more questions.

The Dragon Race Maiden took out the old exam papers from Saint Karno School she bought from the test paper shop on the street, classified all the knowledge points involved in the questions, then backtracked the ideas behind these questions, as well as the broad aspects covered by the questions’ knowledge.

She hoped that by doing this, she could figure out the possible types of knowledge the exam might involve.

Though she didn’t know if this method would work. If the question bank was indeed completely random, then it’d be a wasted effort.

But for now, it seemed like her only choice.

The Dragon Race Maiden studied diligently.
