[Adam_Balch_7324: So does the ring essentially give you a power similar to Jeff or is it to a lesser extent?]

"The ring doesn't really give the user that kind of power. Every living being exudes an aura, and the rate is higher for those who have magical abilities. And trees are no exception. The ring allows me to sense the energy that those trees are releasing. To a certain extent, it's quite good for a magical herb or an old herb that has absorbed a lot of energy. So, it's like finding a treasure among the plants."

Theo explained it a bit further, thinking that the ring was sent because they were going to have a vacation at the mountain. It would be good to find a good herb, a magical tree or something with that ring.

As much as he wanted to talk more about the artifact, he had to continue with the test. He had brought the exam papers for his students.

The moment he entered his classroom, he announced out loud, "Alright, students. It's time for the exams."

…

While Theo was preparing for the exams, a lot of important people visited the school. But due to their important presence, not all of them were coming through the front door.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a pair of wolf ears on top of his head. He had a calm demeanor that suggested a serious and calculative mind.

As soon as he entered the room, he took a look at the surroundings. The room contained several couches as well as a few huge monitors for everyone to see the classrooms through the camera in every class.

He walked to one of the seats and noticed that his neighbor turned out to be another famous man. This man was a human with a military uniform. His blue-colored hair was tied neatly on his back. The man's body was thin, but he was excluding the aura of a warrior.

"Representative of the Mythical Realm, Duke of the Lavinsha Kingdom, Reloft. It's a pleasure to meet you." The man with a wolf tail introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." The dignified human placed his hand on his chest and politely replied to his greeting. "Representative of the Knight Realm, one of the Ten Swords, Javier."

Behind them turned out to be another person. Her height was only half of it, but the wings on her back were actually bigger than these two people. She had white hair and an aged face.

"One of the ten Half-Divine Spirits from the Spirit Realm, Elaine. I hope that the two gentlemen will allow this old lady to move to her seat."

"Oh!" The two stepped back before noticing another person behind her. That person was hidden behind her wings, but it was clear that his size was bigger than these two men. His body was full of muscle and his right arm was replaced by a robotic arm. The robotic arm was emanating green-colored energy that couldn't be turned off.

"I believe I'm the one who needs to pass. Post-Apocalyptic Realm, Commander of 46th East Region Base, Rafthar."

The two of them looked at Raftar and didn't feel like he was a human anymore. Ultimately, they couldn't really say anything. Even though they were representatives as well as the people who supported Victoria in creating this school, they had never met each other face-to-face.

"So, we are going to introduce each other here?" Another man appeared all of a sudden. Even the four people before him couldn't help but stop and take a glance at him. This man didn't seem to train his muscles, but there was something about him that bothered them.

He looked like a human, but he felt more vicious and ominous. If they dropped their guards, this man might be able to kill them.

"Let me introduce myself, then. Representative of the Demon Realm, one of the top Royal Grade Demon Possessors, Silva. I'm curious how one of our people can be the teacher of the best class."

"Considering he is my grandson's teacher, of course, he is good. In fact, I don't know why your world doesn't appreciate his ability." If Theo was here, he would recognize this familiar voice. Yes, he was none other than Lancelot's grandfather. "Sword and Magic Realm's representative, Baold is the name."

"Maybe he is just hiding his ability this whole time." A female voice echoed in the room as she had just entered the room and overheard their conversation. This woman had long black hair and smooth skin. She was giving off the vibe of a flower that stood at the snowy peak, could only be admired but not touched.

"In our world, there are a lot of people playing the pig to eat the tiger." The woman solemnly cupped her hands. "Representative of the Cultivation Realm, Snow Blossom Sect's Master, Li Shuye."

"Don't be too serious. I love a mysterious man like him." Another woman sneaked past Li Shuye and made her entrance. She was wearing a black one-piece dress. But instead of covering her body like the image everyone had in mind of witches, she boldly showed her body. The only thing that could make them recognize her was the oversized hat on top of her head. "Witch Realm, one of the Twelve Tower Masters, Eleanor. Hi, everyone!"

"You are the one being too loose. But it's not my place to say anything, lest we end up fighting." A gentle voice echoed inside the room as a shadow appeared in the middle of the room and turned into a real human.

The guy wore a white Taoist robe and a black tall hat. He had short black hair and wore glasses. He just joined both palms together before politely bowing to them. "I'm one of the Twenty Star Level Exorcists, Blue Star Rihito. It's an honor to meet everyone here. It seems that I'm not the last to come here."

"What are you saying? You are the last one. Look at that… Before no one realizes it, she has been waiting for us." Eleanor chuckled while pointing at the table near the monitor.

Victoria had already taken her seat before anyone realized it. She glanced at them and nodded her head. "As you already know, I'm Victoria, the one who has been in contact with all of you. Thank you for creating an opportunity to gather here. The exams are about to start, so let's watch the students and their teachers while I explain the rest."

Since Victoria had said so, all the representatives only looked at each other before going to their own seats.

"So, the written exams will be first?" Duke Reloft asked with a serious expression.

"Yes. Each teacher is free to do the test in their own way and we'll see which one is effective." Victoria nodded.

"I see. I'm going to say this first, but since there is a fellow Royal Grade Demon Possessor… no, Possessors? I'm going to focus on that class." Demon Possessor Silva smirked, indicating that he wasn't interested in anyone else other than Theo. He even mentioned Mia, who was also a Royal Grade Demon Possessor.

"While it's true that I have a grandson in that class, I can't be unfair to others. So, I'll do my best to observe all them equally." Baold showed his stance.

"If I'm not wrong, another Tower Master's disciple is studying under him. Her name is Serena. So, I'm quite curious what kind of improvement she has." Eleanor chuckled while glancing at Knight Javier. "After all, that teacher has made a big ruckus in your world… isn't it?"

Knight Javier furrowed his eyebrows but remained as calm as possible. "While Gareth's character is rather questionable, his skill is genuine. So, it's surprising to see him forcing us to eliminate one of us through diplomacy."

"But I heard that he won against him in a fight." Cyborg Rafthar smirked, teasing Javier about how he used 'diplomacy' instead of 'threat' to describe what happened.

"Well, he visited our neighbor not long ago and something big happened. While I'm not aware of the entire situation, my king has asked me to pay special attention to him."

During their passive-aggressive conversation, Theo was actually announcing the rules for the exams.

"Alright. In this written exam, you are free to do whatever you want. I will just be sitting here and waiting for you to finish. In this unfair world, you can do anything you want. But your enemies will do the same. So, you are free to use any method that can allow you to get the highest score. Begin!"

As soon as Theo announced it, the students flipped their paper and checked the questions.

However, that method was actually questionable for all the representatives.

"Huh? Why the hell did he mention an unfair world?" Knight Javier frowned, thinking it wasn't the thing that he should say to the students.

"We are living in that unfair world, so I believe it's better for the students to know about it." Cultivator Li Shuye shook her head, agreeing with Theo's method.

"No, no. If he said they could do anything, does that mean they are free to cheat?" Rihito frowned. As an exorcist, it was their effort to create various talismans that allowed them to fight back the supernatural beings. Cheating would just diminish their efforts in studying, so he disagreed with the method.

"Hey, look at that. You would be even more shocked!" Witch Eleanor pointed at the screen, specifically at Theo.

On the screen, Theo actually sat down on his seat and just covered his face with a book as though he were going to sleep.

"What? Did he just sleep?!" Duke Reloft dropped his jaw in disbelief.

"What an unusual method." Baold chuckled as if he understood what Theo was planning to do.

"An unusual method? He is simply encouraging those students to cheat. Aren't these going to ruin their future?" Spirit Elaine became worried. She was probably the oldest in this room, so she had to judge Theo's method even more strictly.

"Not really. If you can't survive with all kinds of methods, then you will die sooner or later. That's how our cultivation realm is, so he is simply allowing the students to use any methods at their disposal to get the highest score. But he doesn't say anything about him not doing anything." Cultivator Li Shuye explained.

"Maybe he has something that allows him to catch the students or at least supervise them." Knight Javier thought for a moment. Thinking of how shrewd Theo was, there was such a possibility. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

But even after three minutes, Theo didn't show any sign of doing anything, which somehow worried all of them. The other teachers were using the usual method. They added a few twists to it, but no one was as ridiculous as Theo.

"Principal Victoria." Exorcist Rihito raised his voice.

"I don't know how I can explain, but Teacher Theo is the best teacher we have. Almost all the suggestions came from him. So, while his method is unusual, I have to believe in him first until it's proven otherwise." Victoria shook her head helplessly. Even she didn't know what Theo was doing.

But the first one to react was Witch Eleanor. She suddenly rose from her seat and pointed at Serena. "Ah. That speed!"

Serena was actually writing down the answer at an abnormal speed. It was to the point that they thought there was no need for Selena to even think about it.

"What is that speed? Is she a genius? No, it's not a normal speed…" Commander Rafthar frowned, observing the screen closely with his mechanical eyes. "It seems that there is something that boosts her brain or something."

"It's the Concentration Potion. It allows us, witches, to improve our concentration drastically for a short period of time. We usually use this potion when processing many ingredients at once." Witch Eleanor explained before noticing something happened. "Ah!"

She gasped because, on the screen, Serena actually dropped her pen while clutching her head.
