Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened MONOCULUS Chapter 90 The Triple Trial Begins

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Much to look forward to...... Oh no, maybe not...... The long-awaited Triple Trial is finally about to begin.

Although the first round of written exams was held in a borrowed school classroom, the tournament was hosted by the Krivari Magical Management Association, so on the morning of November 1st, the school was flooded with staff wearing the uniform of the association.

According to the previous statistics, a total of 1,149 people need to participate in the examination this time, and according to the standard that only 30 contestants can be seated in each examination room, a total of 39 examination rooms are divided. Thankfully, the classrooms were all in twin spires, so they weren't hard to find, and they were allowed to visit their exam room the day before the game to make sure they weren't late or lost.

Each person's test room and seat number are randomly assigned. Alan was assigned to Room 5 23, Alyssa was Room 17 6, Cynthia and Frey were in Room 3 and 20, respectively, and Riel was in Room 33.

However, this so-called written test does not seem to be only a test of their mastery of theoretical knowledge, but also a test of their patience and perseverance, because the competition time is from 9 am to 3 pm, and they are not allowed to leave the examination room or leave early.

For six hours without eating, drinking, resting, or even going to the bathroom...... Well, that seems a bit excessive...... But the more drastic rules are yet to come: no talking to each other or looking around during the exam – and rightfully so...... But there is another rule: do not look up for more than five seconds.

I have to say, this is a bit deliberately embarrassing. If you don't let you drink water, you won't be allowed to go to the toilet, you can tolerate it, but after bowing your head for a long time, everyone has to move your neck, right? Even this right has been deprived......

But what can they do, the rules are the rules, this is set by the Magic Management Association, and no one can change it.

In this way, at half past eight in the morning, everyone was full of food and drink, everything was ready to stop, came to the examination room, sat in their places and waited quietly.

Although Alan is very satisfied with his efforts and dedication in the past month or so, and firmly believes that he will be duly rewarded, he is still a little nervous sitting in this venue at this moment, looking at these unfamiliar faces around him.

The invigilators are two young men in their twenties and thirties, both with bright eyes and sharp eyes, which make people feel that they will be discovered as long as they move a little, as if they were specially selected to invigilate. They came in after everyone had entered the examination room, and they took out their wands and gestured, not knowing what inexplicable magic they had cast. The two of them were one in front of the other, one standing on the podium and the other standing at the back of the examination room, with a clear division of labor. The one standing on the podium looked like the examiner, and kept repeating the rules over and over again.

The seemingly boring half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and as the clock struck nine o'clock, the exam papers automatically flew from the podium to the hands of the contestants.

"Start answering questions!"

After the examiner announced the start of the competition, there was no noise in the entire examination room except for the sound of the tip of the pen scratching the parchment.

At first, Alan was a little puzzled why a written test took six hours, and even their promotion exam was only three hours, but now he finally understood after seeing the exam paper......

This exam paper is ridiculously long, there are not too many question types, only true/false questions, short-answer questions and essay questions, but there are as many as 100 true/false questions alone...... Let's take a look at the short-answer questions again...... Well, I can't count them at all. True/false questions are worth one point each, short-answer questions are worth five points each, and essay questions are twenty points each, for a total of 500 points.

Not...... It doesn't seem like a big problem, although there are many topics, but there seems to be plenty of time.

However, when he took a closer look at the questions, he found that the difficulty of this exam was not ordinary, and almost all the knowledge points involved in the questions were very detailed and complex...... For example, the first true/false question is: The higher fire elemental magic with the most spell fragments is "Heavenly Fire Burning", with a total of eight verses and one hundred and twenty-two words, of which the longest stanza is the fifth stanza.

Alan couldn't help but sweat after reading it...... It's not that this question is difficult, it can only be regarded as general difficulty for him, and after a little thought, he drew a cross behind the question, but this question reflects the characteristics of the whole test paper: the knowledge points examined are very subtle, and there are many traps in the question, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not careful. For example, the magic spell "Burning the Sky" does have eight verses, and the longest verse is indeed the fifth, but there are actually a total of 132 words.
