Verse 98: A cup of warm tea
Justin looked up in Norman's direction, the third time he'd looked like this.
This was not because Justin liked Norman, but because the invigilator came to Norman again, took Norman's theology papers, and gave him law papers.
Yes, Norman has already begun to practice the examination papers, and now the 4 bell has just struck. This means that Norman will have a full 3 hours to complete this law paper, which is extremely timely.
A whole afternoon to answer a law exam paper should not be difficult for a student who has been hailed by Thomas as the "future Origin Master". In other words, judging from the time of answering, Norman has a high probability of passing the entrance exam.
What if Norman did pass the entrance exam and get into the Cárdenas missionary school? Would he tell the other students about the old saying? If he secretly found him and gave him a sum of money, would he be able to keep it a secret forever? If not, would he be able to report it to his father? What would his father do, would he have sent someone to assassinate him?......
Justin's eyes were firmly fixed on Norman, and his mind was full of thoughts.
"Knock Knock"
One of the clergy who passed by saw Justin's appearance and knocked on his desk, which woke Justin up and looked up at the clergyman in front of him.
The clergyman glared at Justin, which made Justin quickly take his gaze back and bury his head in the paper, but his mind was still tightly wrapped around Norman, thinking nonsense.
Many of the other students also noticed the speed of Norman's answers: how could they not notice that Norman was the first candidate in the entire nave to get the law paper. Not to mention anything else, the 3-hour time to answer the law exam paper made other students envious.
But how much does Norman spend in these three hours? In other words, how much time does Norman spend on the law papers?
2 hours, 1 and a half hours, or even ...... 1 bell?
The most daring candidate will guess at most one hour, after all, the difficulty of the law paper in the entrance exam for the Cárdenas Church School is notoriously high, and there has never been a student in the years who has been able to complete the law paper in less than one hour.
The candidates also saw the high praise of the four-star white-robed mage Thomas, and saw Norman's super fast completion speed of the previous three subjects, so they dared to boldly guess the time of 1 hour.
Gustav knew that it could never be one hour.
Not to mention 1 hour, it's 3 hours, 3 days, and Norman can't finish this law exam paper!
Gustav knew from the first glance that it was not a law paper for the entrance exam of a church school, but an examination paper for an orthodox black-robed mage.
It was then that the Metropolitan understood what the inexplicable conversation between Thomas and Hardy meant.
Hardy actually replaced Norman's law exam paper with the assessment paper of a two-star black-robed mage!
Cardinal Hardy, who is known as the inheritor of the Hammer of Justice, is so impartial and impartial that he is almost impersonal that he has openly played such an unjust trick and carried out a blatant act of bullying others!
"Hardy Priest ......"
Gustav opened his mouth.
He was still fantasizing about the sacred moment of his baptism for Norman, but suddenly he found that Hardy was bullying Norman so openly, and he subconsciously wanted to seek justice for the future pope——Well, that's right, our metropolis has a great imagination, and he has even thought of the day when Norman will be crowned pope in the future.
But Gustav's mouth opened and squirmed twice with difficulty, but not another word popped out.
“......”
What could he say? Accuse Priest Hardy of secretly changing Norman's jurisprudence papers? But Cardinal Hardy was more powerful than him, especially under the Pope's temporary order, and he was not in the slightest position to question the actions of Hardy, the leader of the legations.
Just like just now Hardy asked him to hand over the leadership of the battlefield, he could only hand it over obediently.
So Gustav could only be silent, feeling sorry for Norman in his heart.
It would be a shame that such a genius was destined to be kept out of the church......
"Bishop Adam?"
Hardy heard Gustav's call and responded, "Is there anything you want to say?"
Gustav just shook his head and said, "No." ”
However, he is also a metropolis, although his position is not as high as Hadi's, but he is not a nobody, especially after Cárdenas has been the emperor of the soil for a long time, he has a little temper of his own, and finally couldn't help but stab secretly, "I was thinking, if he had taken the entrance exam for the church school last year, then his fate would have been completely different." Poor kid......"
This is a mockery of Hardy's unjust bullying by relying on his power.
Yes, Hardy's orders he Gustav can't disobey, but as the metropolitan of Cárdenas, he always has the right to speak, right?
Hardy, however, seemed to understand the sarcasm in Gustav's words, his expression was calm, and he did not express any opinion.
In fact, Hardy didn't have a little regret in his heart now? If Norman hadn't been in a special position, he would have liked this clever boy to enter the Father's Church more than Gustav, but there was no if.
It was about the saint, about the thousand-year-old foundation of the Father's religion, and he could only choose to ruin the child's future.
......
Law accounts for 70 percent of the entire entrance exam score, and if the law score is very bad, then no matter how good the candidate's other three subjects are, he will not be able to get into the church school.
And a farmer who has only received a month of systematic education is obviously impossible to pass the assessment content of a two-star black-robed mage, even if his performance in the three disciplines of literature, mathematics, and god is already amazing enough.
But it's impossible, it's impossible.
So in the eyes of Gustav and Hardy, Norman's fate was sealed from the moment this law paper was issued.
That's the end of it.
Hardy didn't even bother to look at it, retracted his gaze, and began to think about the next trip: the journey from Cárdenas to Santa Vita was not easy, but fortunately, this fatwa took the opportunity to recruit a group of mages and expand the power of the envoys.
I just don't know what the test results are from the Holy Maiden, and I don't know how many of these mages can be trusted......
Before Hardy could think about it, he suddenly heard Gustav let out an exclamation.
What's wrong?
Hardy was about to look at Gustav to see what was wrong with him, when he heard Gustav make another louder noise.
"Clams?!"
Hardy looked over to Gustav and saw that he was staring at the magic prism floating in the air at the end of the long table, and the expression on his face was dumbfounded, not exaggerated at all, the mouth was open enough to fit a fist.
What happened to Gustav so surprised?
Hardy turned his head to look at the magic prism, and then saw the scene that made Gustav look like that.
Norman was working the two-star black-robed mage's exam paper, and had already written the second one.
Hardy's pupils narrowed.
Got the wrong paper?
No, I can see clearly from the magic prism that it is the assessment paper of the two-star black-robed mage, but how can he answer it? Look at the answers he wrote, they are clearly correct?!
And not only can he solve the problem, but Norman's speed of solving the problem is much faster than when he did the other three test papers just now......
Before Hardy could figure it out, in the magic prism, Norman had already finished the second test paper and started the third one.
Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth......
This scene was so incredible that even a man like Gustav, who had been in a high position for many years, couldn't help but check along, and he didn't look like a metropolitan at all.
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
"That's right again!"
......
Gustav's voice grew louder and louder, and it was not difficult to see the excitement in the heart of the metropolitan.
Until Norman finished these six law papers.
“...... All right!"
Gustav choked those last two words from his chest, and his voice trembled. At the same time, he also exhaled the breath he was holding in his chest, and he was suddenly relieved.
A barely visible white gas rose before Gustav's eyes, then drifted away, never to be seen again—the tea they had just poured at four o'clock, an aristocratic drink brewed from the specialty of the Far Eastern Moa, "tea", which had to be drunk with boiling water.
Now, the tea is still warm, and the problem has been solved.
It didn't take 3 days, not 3 hours, or even 1 hour, just a cup of tea from hot to warm, and this farmer, who was illiterate a month ago, completed the assessment paper of the two-star black-robed mage, and it was all right......
No way?
Destiny?
Now it seems like a joke.
Gustav looked at the side face in the magic prism, his eyes shining terribly.
Hardy looked at the side face in the magic prism, silent, and his eyes were complicated.
Thomas looked at the side face in the magic prism, and he was wonderful.
