It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

"Sophie."

In the last actual competition, she used the bracelet as a medium to control many elements...

Vickery took out the pendant from the drawer in the laboratory.

A pendant with a photo of Sophie as a child.

"...Is it a gift from father to his daughter?"

Vickrey looked at the pendant for a while before leaving the laboratory.

When he came to the office next door, he took out a book and was about to kill time and restore his magic power.

Vickrey suddenly noticed a strange sight behind him, and he quickly turned his head.

"...?"

Only to find an eagle standing on the windowsill, tilting its head and watching him.

Vickery was stunned, a little confused.

But before he could get closer, the eagle suddenly trembled, as if it had been scolded, and hurriedly flew away with a flutter.

"Is it an eagle with an owner?"

Judging from the appearance, the eagle's feathers are well taken care of and even look a little cute?

"Have you been hallucinating because you've been too busy lately?"

Vickery shook his head, but out of caution he closed the curtains.

Chapter 80

The second day of the midterm exam.

Today she has to take an exam under the name of Vickery. Since Sophie didn't apply for many subjects, she still attaches great importance to these 5 credits, and even came to the Mage Tower early in the morning...

The designated location for the exam is on the 30th floor, and the rooms on this floor are all laboratories.

It’s just a test question. I really don’t know why Vickery chose this place?

Arriving at the examination waiting room, Sophie was startled as soon as she opened the door.

"Wow."

It was only 7 o'clock, but more than 100 people had already gathered inside.

"..."

The moment the door opened, the people who were still chatting stopped.

Perhaps because of the incident some time ago, their eyes were all focused on Sophie.

It is worth mentioning that Sophie used to give people the impression of being a common leader, but recently she has a new nickname.

'Public madman'

"..."

As others watched, Sophie sat down next to Judy and other club members.

"Sophie, did you just get up?"

"No, I didn't sleep at all."

She didn't know how much coffee she drank that night. Nervousness was part of the reason, but the main reason was that she stayed up late reviewing all night.

"Sophie, you are working too hard. By the way, do you want to see my notes? I gained some new insights yesterday."

Judy said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll show you mine too."

The two exchanged notes and learned from each other.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was ten o'clock in the morning.

Associate Professor Kitty came in.

"Nice to meet you all. I am Associate Professor Kitty, responsible for invigilating this elemental magic understanding exam. Time is precious, so I will not call the names one by one and start directly."

Kitty took out the relevant matters that need to be paid attention to in the exam and started reading.

"There is no time limit for this exam..."

"?"

The wizards were surprised for a while, and Kitty also realized that she had made a mistake. She patted her mouth lightly and said again.

"Correction, this exam will last until the end of the mid-term exam in the entire college, which is a 10-day period. Papers must be handed in at 24:[-] next Sunday."

The wizards were even more surprised.

Today is only Wednesday, what kind of exam is it?Taking the exam for ten days at once?

Sophie blinked, confused.

Kitty continued.

"Of course, you can take other exams during this period. You can also go home to eat, take a walk and relax. The only restriction is that you cannot take the test papers out of the examination room."

It’s a very strange test method that has never been done before.

"In addition, the examination room adopts a private box system, with one person per room. You can eat and sleep directly inside, but you need to bring your own bedding and ingredients."

"Last point, this exam is an open-book exam. You can bring reference books to the exam."

Hearing this, Sophie shivered.

Will the open book exam take another 10 days?How difficult it is.

What's the point of giving such a difficult test paper either full marks or zero marks?

"Ahem, that's what Professor Weekly said."

Eddie moistened his throat, lowered his voice, and tried his best to imitate Vickrey's tone.

"If someone gets perfect marks in the exam, I will use the name of the chief professor to

I would like to write you a letter of recommendation..."

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard the words 'recommendation letter'.

With Vickrey's authority and his letter of recommendation, as long as he can graduate successfully, he can skip the interview and get the job he wants.

Although Olivia secures first place, there is not only one spot for perfect scores, they also have a chance!

"..."

The wizards were suddenly filled with excitement and fighting spirit, completely forgetting how difficult it was to get a perfect score.

"Let's start allocating laboratories now. The fifteen people in the front row follow me."

The 15 people at the front of the waiting room stood up and followed Kitty out.

After repeating this process 10 times, Olivia was assigned to Laboratory No. 23, while the civilian community headed by Sophie was assigned to No. 73-78.

"Sophie, come on!"

"Well, so are you."

After listening to it for a long time, everyone relaxed.

Kitty shouted as everyone encouraged each other.

"Okay! Everyone enter the examination room in order!"

Sophie took a deep breath and walked inside.

At a glance, the laboratory was about the same size as her dormitory, but there was only a table, a chair and a clock. Thick test questions were piled on the table.

Sophie sat down and looked directly at the first question.

[1. Based on the following magics, calculate the formulas that are connected between them, the details are as follows...]

Questions that purely examine theoretical knowledge.

While releasing magic power to construct magic, Sophie picked up a pen to calculate theoretical formulas.

It's a very simple question and you can answer it as long as you listen carefully to the class.

After about an hour, the answers came out and Sophie wrote them on the test paper.

Turn this page, question two.

[2. Find out the core parts of the following magic, and trace its magic formula and magic power direction. The details are as follows...]

Hmm... It's a bit complicated, but after all, it's just a theoretical question and can be solved in 3-4 hours.

The real hard part has just begun.

[3. The following formula comes from a part of a certain magic. Please identify the specific magic according to the following conditions, and enter the magic into the test paper. 】

Sophie thought for a moment.

At first she thought it was easy, but after she uncovered the seemingly ticklish disguise, she found that the so-called formula was just the tip of the iceberg of magic. If she couldn't think of a breakthrough, no matter how much time she invested, it would be in vain.

"Very sleepy."

Sophie dropped her pen and lay down on the cold floor.

Get some sleep.

Sophie closed her eyes, and before she knew it, the day passed.

Chapter 81

The exam came to the fourth day.

By Saturday, the exams for some ordinary wizards have entered the final stage...

But the Mage Tower is still crowded.

Now, not only the wizards from our academy, but also the wizards from Kingdom Academy, even the knight students from our academy and newspapers and media have come to visit.

The reason is the 10-day exam in Viklena. If you are willing, you can try it.

This time, it can be said that Weekley stole the show, and other professors were so jealous that their eyes turned red.

It's not like they haven't thought about similar long-term examinations, but they were all rejected by the dean.

And it seems that Dean Bach acquiesced in Vickrey's exam...

No, he seemed to enjoy it.

"That's right, it's the fourth day and the students are still on the 30th floor!"

Thanks to Weekley, a large number of reporters came to the college, and Dean Bach was actively answering their questions.

"What is the difficulty level of the test questions?"

"It's difficult! But every question is asked very carefully. The wizards will realize the value when they solve it."

"Will the hospital make the test questions public in the future?"

"It depends on what Professor Weekly wants, but I think the floating islands will definitely come to buy them and fill the library."

There are many tourists in the college now, because after the midterm exam is the summer celebration, many places in the college have been opened to the public.

"Wait a minute, this classmate..."

"Did you just come out of the examination room? I'm a reporter. Wait, just one sentence..."

Reporters chased and intercepted candidates who may have come out for intermission and asked for interviews.

But most people refused on the grounds of time. Only Sophie accepted the interview at the expense of 5 cups of coffee and 5 butter buns.

"Hasn't anyone given up on taking the exam yet?"

"Well, probably not."

"So what do you think the reason is?"

"I don't know that either."

Sophie took a sip of the free coffee but didn't answer.

But in fact, she already had the answer in her heart.
