Chapter 32: Let Me Add Two Points

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Silence. It was especially silent!

All the students were dumbfounded, their faces filled with astonishment as they stared at Zhang Xing as if he were a monster.

He memorized a book that’s half a foot thick in just one month?

Oh my goodness, whether from a humble family or a noble one, children his age usually have their minds filled with either food or play. But he… his mind is entirely filled with knowledge!

It was unbelievable!

Whoosh!

The examination hall burst into applause.

Instructor Sorina wore a happy smile, applauding while nodding continuously.

This child indeed appears mischievous and incredibly intelligent!

A few seconds later.

“The applause has already indicated the answer. Zhang Xing gets an extra point!”

Clive gnashed his teeth in hatred…

“Please listen to the second question. It’s a historical question. Please explain the origin of spells.”

Upon hearing the question, Clive’s eyes lit up. He knew the answer to this question since he was as young as Zhang Xing.

“Tsk, bah! How can I be compared to that wretched commoner, Zhang Xing?”

Ding!

“And once again, our class monitor Clive takes the initiative to answer. He sets an example for us students and plays a leading role. We hope other students will also actively participate!”

Upon hearing the instructor’s praise, Clive revealed a slightly shy expression, but mostly an expression of pride.

Unconsciously, he imitated Zhang Xing and raised his index finger.

“Spells were developed and perfected by the Six Towers Association of our Stellarsky Empire over thousands of years of continuous experimentation.”

“More precisely, during the first 500 years, magic was a rare field of study, with only a few individuals possessing the knowledge.”

“And the adults of the Six Towers Association were among those few.”

“In the subsequent 500 years, through their relentless efforts, magic was widely spread throughout the Empire, allowing us noble children to learn and utilize it from textbooks.”

“Since then, magic is no longer as mysterious, and it has been further developed and promoted by us nobles until today!”

“Answer complete!”

When Clive sat down, he glanced at Zhang Xing. “I’ve said everything I need to say. Let’s see what else you can say. This point is definitely mine.”

Instructor Sorina nodded with satisfaction, and the jury of instructors also expressed their approval.

Just then, “Ding!” a sound rang out, and Zhang Xing stood up.

“Student Clive’s explanation is incomplete, and there are two mistakes.”

What was that? Mistake?

Clive stared at Zhang Xing in disbelief.

“Hmph! Making baseless accusations, nitpicking. It’s written exactly like that in the textbooks. Could the textbooks be wrong?”

Instructor Sorina and the jury also looked curious.

“Student Zhang Xing, if you randomly point out mistakes that aren’t mistakes, we will deduct one credit from your score,” a pale-faced jury member said coldly.

“Yes, Zhang Xing, deducting points is part of the test’s rules, so you should answer carefully,” Sorina reminded.

“May I begin?” Zhang Xing said calmly.

Sorina said, “Student Zhang Xing, please start answering the questions. You can’t repeat the answers of the previous student!”

“The first mistake: The Six Towers Association does not belong to the Stellarsky Empire; it is a magical organization standing at the pinnacle of the Sacred Dragon Continent.”

“If the Six Towers Association were to find out that our esteemed class monitor has classified them under the Stellarsky Empire, I wonder if your family could still be protected?”

Swoosh!

Clive broke out in a cold sweat.

“Hmph! It was just a slip of the tongue. Zhang Xing, don’t dwell on these trivial matters,” the pale-faced jury member spoke up.
