Chapter 931 - 279: Written Test

Chapter 931: Chapter 279: Written TestThe Curse Course exam was divided into two parts: a written test and a practical operation.

Unlike the written test, the practical part inherently carried certain risks, including but not limited to magic out of control, prey out of control, etc. Therefore, this practical type of exam was scheduled after the written test, that is, in the twentieth week, to minimize the possibility that injuries sustained during the practical could affect the written test results.

Zheng Qing’s written test for the Curse Course was arranged in East 101 of the main teaching building.

Similarly, for the students of Astronomy Class 08-1 and even the first-year students of Jiuyou Academy, their written tests were all on the first floor of the main teaching building, but the students’ seating was randomly scrambled, with only a few familiar faces in each exam room.

This inadvertently lessened Zheng Qing’s pressure somewhat.

After all, he was now bearing the title of ’Big Arcana Sequence-World,’ wherever he went, he would attract everyone’s curious or questioning glances. Compared to dealing with endless questions from acquaintances, he preferred being stared at by strangers.

At least strangers, out of politeness or other reasons, wouldn’t blatantly approach him to ask if he was Old Yao’s illegitimate son.

Every time he thought about this, Zheng Qing couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration—although he couldn’t be described as strikingly handsome, he was fair and clean, with delicate features. How could anyone associate him with Old Yao’s dark yellow, wrinkled walnut face?

It was absolutely ludicrous!

...

The exam room contained sixteen seats, arranged in four rows of four, spaced quite far apart.

There were three invigilators: a black-robed teaching assistant, a black-robed re

The optional questions all pertained to material beyond the standard curriculum, for example, the first question required students to describe their state and effect while using the Yuan Chen Guardian Spell—this was highly subjective.

And the third major question in the optional section was absolutely baffling.

That question asked students to explain what a ’curse’ is—Zheng Qing felt this was as vague and general as asking him to explain what a ’foreign language’ is.

The over two hours of the exam went by in a blink.

After the invigilators had sorted the test papers and left the examination hall, Zheng Qing had not yet had a chance to stand up when suddenly a large group of unfamiliar faces crowded around him.

"Zheng Qing, what did you write for question twenty-five in Part I..."

"Zheng Qing, did you have enough time to answer? I feel like I didn’t have time to write the second part..."

"Brother Qing, Brother Qing, do you think we need to write about team battles for the third question on common scenarios of using Chaos Spell..."

"What’s there to ask about the Chaos Spell? We should discuss the casting elements of the Yuan Chen Guardian Spell in the second part’s question."
