[Adam_Balch_7324: Let the games begin]

"Ah!" Witch Eleanor gasped, noticing something was wrong. "That sign… is the side effect of the potion!"

"What? Is she injured? We'll send the medical team right away!" Victoria was the first to respond, considering their safety was more important than the exams.

"No." Witch Eleanor shook her head and explained, "The potion is not like that. Even though I call it a side effect, it's nothing dangerous. The Concentration Potion allows you to focus on a certain task better by programming your brain to behave in a certain way."

"Was that how she managed to answer all those questions so quickly?" Cultivator Li Shuye asked, feeling a bit interested in this potion.

"That's right. She is concentrating on tackling one problem after another, thus creating a flow in her work. And the only way to stop it is…" Witch Eleanor stopped for a moment and turned to Victoria. "Do we have the exam paper here?"

"I've made the copy and put it on your table."

Eleanor hurriedly reached for the paper and scanned it. The first part wasn't that difficult. The answer was straightforward, so Serena shouldn't face any problems with all these questions. But the moment she moved onto the second part, she was stupefied. "I knew it."

The question was, 'You are being watched by a few important people representing each world. If you manage to get the highest score, what will they think of you? If you end up having the lowest score, what will your status be in their eyes? And if you do just fine, what will they say? Think of ten possible answers for each of the questions.'

"What the hell…" Commander Rafthar was stunned by the question. "Is this really a question for the written exam?"

"Considering they are learning about the ten worlds, it's not that weird. Just like the teacher said, we're living in unfair worlds. Before a student, they are a member of society. So, they should think of that possibility, especially with their status." Silva came from the Demon Realm, so he obviously supported Theo first.

"In any case, this is the question that trips her. He is actually splitting her focus into three questions before dividing it again into thirty. It will just clash with the effect of the Concentration Potion." Witch Eleanor sighed. "She will feel a bit exhausted, but there's no danger to her life. How does he know about the potion?"

"Instead of that, I think you should look at that. Another student is making his move. It's… his daughter?" Silva was a bit surprised that the one who would cheat was actually Theo's daughter.

Mia actually opened her pencil case. It was made of multi-colored wool. There was nothing strange until Mia actually waved her finger.

All of a sudden, the red wool that created the case actually stood up and formed a small line in front of her.

"What is she doing?" Silva asked.

Li Shuye, who had the sharpest eyes, couldn't help but ask, "Can we take a closer look at her?"

Victoria nodded her head and zoomed the camera, allowing them to check the wool. And it turned out there was black ink smeared on it. But if they focused their eyes even further, they noticed that they were words.

Yes, Mia actually wrote a few things on those wools. The fact that she used multi-color wool must be because she divided it into parts.

Their theory was proven when Mia actually waved her finger once again as another color rose and showed different words.

Mia skillfully read it and wrote it down on her paper. After she was done, she turned it back into a pencil case. This was the skill she had grown accustomed to when making teddy bears.

"She is actually cheating like this… This is interesting. Not only is her control good, but she is also quite clever for a seven year old kid." Silva smirked, realizing that Theo was far different from the rumors going around in their original world.

"But he hasn't done anything. Is he showing favoritism to his daughter?" Knight Javier asked while furrowing his eyebrows.

"She is still seven years old, you know. That little handicap is fine, isn't it?" Duke Reloft shrugged.

"Well, let's take a look at another student to confirm whether it's a special treatment or—what the actual…" Witch Eleanor gasped. The one who stepped up his game was Avalon.

Instead of doing any weird trick, Avalon actually took out a book—his own notebook. Everything that Theo had taught him was recorded here, so there was no better book that could help him.

And unlike the others, he blatantly opened that book without caring about the outside world.

"What? Did he just…" Knight Javier simply couldn't believe what he saw.

"Isn't that youngster a knight? That underhanded method… No, should I say that he cheats fair and square? The rest are trying to hide the fact they are cheating, but he is openly admitting it." Even Spirit Elaine had trouble in defining Avalon's action.

"Hahaha. I like his guts!" Commander Rafthar laughed out loud. "That's right. Be bold, young guy!"

Javier felt like he had lost too much face that he began covering his eyes with his hand, not wanting to watch the class anymore.

"Hoh? Unlike a knight, the person who comes from my world is actually using technology to solve that issue." Commander Rafthar smirked, pointing at Maya.

Maya had been closing her right eye from time to time. Other people couldn't see it, but there was definitely a screen panel in front of her.

"What is she doing?" Baold asked.

"She must be using a contact lens or something. It stores a lot of knowledge. While it's true that it can't contain a lot of data, it is less noticeable. Though, I prefer the glasses since it has enough space for the drive to store all the information I ever need." Rafthar explained.

"Seriously?" Baold thought if he had something like that, he might be able to master his inscription more, considering he could open the reference at any time.

"To be honest, I don't think cheating is a good thing to learn. At the same time, this kind of method is actually refreshing to see." Witch Eleanor couldn't help but smile.

"What do you mean?" Knight Javier asked. He was probably the most honest one in this room, so he couldn't really tolerate cheating.

"I mean, the students have to be creative. In the real world, you have to do anything to accomplish your task because it might cost you your life if you fail. Just like Serena, he might do something to them in a way we haven't found yet, so this written exam tests their knowledge as well as their creativity." Eleanor explained.

When she put it that way, it made a bit more sense.

"Look at those twins…" Spirit Elaine pointed at Luca and Lucas. "They have been glancing at each other. The spirits have a very pure connection to essence, and it's said that the twins have a special connection with each other through that essence. I think that the twins can talk to each other without uttering a single word. They are actually working together."

"Seriously? No, if you look at that, the exorcist girl hasn't done anything yet." Duke Reloft frowned.

"No." Exorcist Rihito shook his head helplessly. "The soul next to that girl is actually helping her get the answer from other people."

"Soul? Do you mean ghost?" Rafthar asked.

"Something like that. It's pretty hard to see, but when you see it, you can't unsee it." Rihito nodded, confirming the situation.

"What about that elf? Has she done something?" Rafthar became a bit curious and wanted to know what the others were doing.

Duke Reloft said, "Werewolves like me were known for our sharp senses. Meanwhile, elves are known to be good with their eyes and affinity. With her being an archer, she should be able to see her classmates' sheets without the need for any special power."

"From what I can see, there are only two people who haven't cheated. Mr. Minister's grandson as well as the person from this world." Li Shuye stated.

"Does that mean the cultivator kid has done something?" Baold asked with a smug. It was clear thatabilities he was proud that his grandson didn't cheat.

"Yeah. Although it's not that apparent, I know my nephew's ability. He can sense essence better than anyone, and from the way he moves, he is replicating someone's movement." Li Shuye explained.

"He can do that?" Baold was quite astonished to know there was a youngster capable of replicating someone's movement just by the movement of the essence.

"Still, he is not good at remembering things, so unless he can ingrain it into his bones, it's a pretty useless ability in a situation like this." Li Shuye shook her head helplessly.

"I see. How about the demon kid?" Baold turned to Silva.

Silva only made a gesture of money with his hand while smiling, "The demon will do anything for the right price."

"Did he make an agreement to get the demon to study the materials for the exams too?" Rafthar couldn't help but laugh. Just imagining the demon studying the human's exam material was too hilarious.

"You could say that." Silva confirmed it with a nod.

"While I feel a bit skeptical about their method, as Miss Eleanor said, I think this test is pretty good. It tests the students about their adaptability as well as their current knowledge. The teacher never said anything about cheating, so it meant that he never considered it cheating." Duke Reloft concluded.

"When you think that way, the other classes are kind of lackluster." Li Shuye nodded in agreement.

"Indeed. They are doing things their way, but it's rather boring because they come up with the same thing. And I think the method that Class S uses is more effective compared to other classes." Spirit Elaine sighed. She agreed, but was also concerned.

"But we can't say anything about the result." Knight Javier showed a little hint of disappointment.

"That's true. We have to wait for the result first. If everything goes according to the students' plans, won't it mean that those who cheat actually get good grades? It's like the students are forced to do it." Baold was also worried like Elaine.

In the end, they continued watching the students struggle with the test. As soon as the bell rang, Theo tossed the book that covered his face to the table while saying, "Alright. The test is over. I will inform you who passes the test: Serena, Lancelot, Avalon, Haruka, Maya, Jayden and Oliver. The rest have failed the written exams."

"!!!" All the people in the observation rooms couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. How did Theo decide all that?

"What kind of thing did he grade?"

"Even his daughter fails the test."

"No, I mean… They don't have anything in common, right?"

"The two who don't cheat actually pass."

"Maybe Serena and Avalon's methods aren't that far, so it's not considered cheating?"

"Are you sure? I mean, Avalon is extremely daring."

"Then, how about Jayden, that demon kid?"

They were confused as to how Theo actually graded his students.

Of course, they were confused. Even Mia, or any students who knew him longer than those ten couldn't actually understand how they failed.

"Teacher. Why did I fail?!" Aurora asked, not accepting the result.

"That's right. We believe that we have done everything right!" The twins protested.

"How do you grade us? You haven't even done anything, so how do you know we have failed?" Li Wei spoke up.

"The school has told us that you have to test us in the normal way with your own twist. The school doesn't tell you to change what you should grade!" Even Mia didn't back down.

Theo sighed. "I have graded your papers. And it seems that none of you have noticed, so this is your grade."

The moment Theo snapped his fingers, his body disappeared as the names of every student with their scores began to form on the board.

Some of them actually dropped their jaws as if realizing why they got that score.
