《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 205: Examination Grounds (4)

All of them took the test that was simply comparable to their current rank and didn't even bother to try the next level. After all, they wanted to keep low profile.
Hehe, low profile…
Many people were already paying attention to them, though.
"They didn't even reach more than what their rank is."
"Well, suit themselves. Probably just some low people who are having too much confidence in their hands."
"Yeah, they're not suitable for this test."
*crack *crack*
Fan Ling massaged her knuckles while looking at the boys with arched eyebrows. It seemed that there were a lot of people who were itching for a beating. She didn't mind accompanying them, though. Her body was stiff after not able to unleash her real ability in the test just now, so she wanted to test her power in them.
Lin Yun quickly stopped Fan Ling before she could start her wrath. "Hey, hey, there's still the theory test. In addition, we can change the ranking by challenging those above us after the theory test."
"Oh?" Fan Ling arched her eyebrows. Her lips curled up to form a beautiful smile. "In that case, I must prepare myself thoroughly. The test must be very fun."
Fun?
Lin Xiao was sure that Fan Ling would remember their names and tried to challenge them. Now that they were talking about Fan Ling, he recalled that there was also that pretty woman whom Fan Ling had quarrel with. It seemed that there were simply too many people in the place for them to find that person.
'Did she also join Sun Dragon Academy?'
Not everyone has to join this academy.
Looking around for some more, Lin Xiao chose to drop the matter and entered the large hall. The hall was located near the gate and also the location where the written test would take place. As they walked closer, they all could see some other students walking not far from them.

"They're?"
"Your seniors," Teacher Su Luo said with a shrug. "They're also having their test today."
"We have written test each year?" a student asked in doubtful tone. It was truly a hassle for them to have written test each year because it meant that they couldn't even slack in their study in the slightest bit.
Teacher Su Luo sneered, knowing what was inside their mind. "Aside from the first year, you can take the test anytime. Don't worry, as long as you can pass the theory test once, you won't have to repeat it again."
The students behind her all nodded their head. Hopefully the test was not that hard.
However, Lin Xiao could see the disdain in Teacher Su Luo's eyes when she was looking at the row of students who passed by them. He wondered whether this teacher really loved to look down on others or what. Her gaze was sometimes a bit disturbing.
"We're here. Get in and do your test."
Looking at the numerous row of seats, Lin Xiao randomly picked the empty seats and the other eight sat around him as if forming a barrier. Some others looked in their direction but said nothing before they picked a seat on their own.
No one wanted to create trouble on this day.
The teacher came and distributed the paper through his Qi. Looking at the floating paper, Lin Xiao had a mixed feeling as he began to write.
'I didn't know you can control your Qi until it can be used to lift something so light like paper.'
Lin Hu was speechless. 'You're thinking about that?'
'Well, it's amazing.'
'FOCUS on your test!'
Lin Xiao pursed his lips and looked at the test sheet. He filled the first page easily since the others had helped him crammed the basic knowledge. After a few pages, Lin Xiao couldn't even understand what the paper was asking anymore.

He glanced at the title from each page and realized that it told them the test they have to take. Basic etiquette, intermediate, advance, and master. Aside from herbs, which he managed to answer until master since he was quite familiar with them and their properties, he could only answer up to intermediate at most. Even then, many were still blank.
'What in the world is this test?'
Lin Xiao wanted to howl in desperation. How come someone would be able to remember the position one had to remember in the ritual that only occurred whenever there was new Emperor? He never learned that? Also, what it meant that the medicine failed through this method? It should have been correct!
The one in medicine was not that hard since Lin Xiao had already taught by Lin Yun in the past. However, there were many medicine that was unfamiliar to him.
When it came to beasts, he could only recognize those that he had met and some that he had seen the picture. The result from cramming in the library was proven to be quite useful in the test.
And then, there was also the art test….
Lin Xiao couldn't draw, couldn't make poetry, and definitely couldn't write a song.
He was speechless when he saw that he couldn't even fill the first page. While begrudging, Lin Xiao just filled what he could and left the rest empty.
"Time's up."
'Eh? There's timer?'
Lin Hu looked at Lin Xiao with disbelief. 'Do you really think that they will give you forever for you to figure out the answer?'
Lin Xiao shrugged. He had already answered all that he knew anyway.
The teacher only needed to scan the papers with his Qi for a moment. Countless information floated to him, but it didn't faze him in the slightest bit. He pointed out. "Your result are out."
"Let's go and see it!"
"Come on!"
The students were all excited to see how they would fare. Looking at the name at the very front, many sighed.
1. Lin Hong
2. Princess Lan Xiao Yue.
3. …
"Damn, they're not only good at martial arts but also knowledge!"
"Ugh."
Lin Xiao glanced at the last row and sighed. As he had thought….

Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking
