Chapter 228 Merlin: This has nothing to do with me!
The exam had only begun five minutes ago.
An Su's fervent scribbling sounded particularly harsh in the quiet exam hall. He quickly completed an entire sheet with a speed as if he knew the answers in advance, flipping to the next page with a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
These questions felt unexpectedly familiar.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the surrounding candidates were subtly changing.
Could this kid be writing nonsense?
They glanced sideways at An Su, suspecting that with his moral standards, he might be intentionally creating this noise to put invisible pressure on them.
Many self-proclaimed geniuses were now sweating profusely, their pen tips trembling as they stared at the first question of the Radiance exam, pondering for a long time without being able to start writing.
Priest Paxi felt that the situation in the exam hall was not optimistic. No matter what, he hadn't expected that An Su's mere presence would cause such chaos. He couldn't help but use Magic Communication to inquire about the situations in other examination halls, and the responses were worrisome.
In the second examination room where Arthur was, and the third examination room where Lister was,
the same scenes were unfolding.
Even more severe.
These two were also solving questions at a breakneck pace, causing even greater distress to other candidates than An Su did. After all, since An Su was known to be high-achieving, it was more acceptable for him to work quickly.
But Arthur and Lister, being the last and second-to-last in the previous literary exam and nationally known poor students, were also working fiercely fast, and fully filled the blank spaces, causing candidates in both rooms to shiver with fear, utterly intimidated.
This was a fear from the depths of their hearts,
For a common saint, it's bearable if a top student works fast, but it's terribly frightening when normally underachieving students perform spectacularly in exams, leading to a complete meltdown of their mentality.
Priest Paxi's lips twitched slightly; he had never imagined that separating these three troublemakers into different rooms would result in chaos in all three rooms.
He sighed softly, feeling the future looked bleak and dark.
Those who had qualified to enter the Imperial Capital for the exam were top scholars from various regions, lauded as prodigies from an early age.
But now, these prodigies were experiencing the complexity of the Imperial Capital and the perplexities of life for the first time.
Who set this paper?
It was as if the questions burned brightly with flames.
The geniuses from the Church noticed the name 'Merlin Andre, Vice President of the Magic Association, author' at the start of the paper and fell silent.
Since it was Great Mage Merlin's work, it must have a deep purpose.
They needed to carefully analyze His Excellency Merlin's intentions, considering the question setter's personal preferences...
What does 'movement of Radiance's peak waves' mean?
Peak waves...
Radiance's peak waves...
They fell into deep thought, with the universe and the endless cycle of universal life entering their minds, exhausting every bit of knowledge and wisdom to interpret the question setter's intent, from the origins of Radiance in Genesis to the contemporary religious landscape, from the definition of Holy Light to the significance of its magic interpretation. Various pieces of knowledge flickered through their minds like frames in a film, the movement of Radiance's peak waves,
They had to read the question's meaning repeatedly.
And then associate it with other ideas.
'Moving towards the highest peak of the waves'
What are peak waves.
What is movement. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
The prodigies' gazes moved towards the Witch's peak waves next to them. Passing one mountain range after another, traversing thousands upon thousands of mountains, they finally reached the highest peak and witnessed the dazzlingly bright sacred radiance on that chaotic stairway. At that moment, the young men had their realization—
This was indeed moving towards the highest peak of Radiance!
How sinister, yet how intoxicating and captivating,
Combining this with the fact that it was a question from His Excellency Merlin and analyzing his usual preferences, everything seemed reasonable—At this moment, they had grasped the supreme will of the Great Mage.
Thus, the answer to this question was evidently straightforward,
They confidently marked on their papers, selecting option C—The Fall of Radiance!
"Hmph, it's just as expected," the prodigies of the Radiant Holy See sneered, glancing at An Su, who was diligently solving the questions, and continued with theirs.
This kid, ignoring the highest peak, was indeed formidable.
Their expressions were solemn,
They now truly believed that this Child of the Curse, gaining renown in the Imperial Capital, was indeed substantial, possessing great perseverance likely to achieve limitless accomplishments in the future.
A few days ago, An Su's capturing a basketful of Esoteric Sect Followers did not win the hearts of these saints, but today, his ability to resist looking at that tempting material and shocking their hearts was truly significant.
Only those who have tried it know how difficult it is.
Nevertheless, despite this, they would not simply concede victory in this contest!
Because An Su had already lost; his disinterest in the highest peak meant he couldn't grasp Merlin His Excellency's intentions, and in this exam, he was doomed to fail, ultimately just scribbling nonsense.
"Scribble, scribble." Five minutes after the exam started, An Su had completed all the subjective questions and turned to the last page of the paper.
The prodigies felt sweaty again as they looked at the second question, their pen tips hovering and trembling uncontrollably over the major subjective discussion question,
