230: Divorced Dick

Chapter 230: The Outrageous Dick

Originally, the Elite theory exam, especially the B-Class, required booking a month in advance.

However, Dick's connections were too strong. He was already a favored person in the Empress's eyes, and Lord Fama personally took care of him, so the exam was arranged in less than a week.

Before long, Dick arrived in front of a clean and tidy white room.

Like the examination hall in Bison Territory, there was only one set of table and chairs here, surrounded by numerous barriers and magic formations to minimize the possibility of cheating.

Not only that, but during the six-hour exam, staff would supervise through the window, providing comprehensive, all-angle, uninterrupted monitoring!

Unlike the D-Class theory exam, the B-Class theory exam paper removed multiple-choice and true/false questions, leaving only analytical questions, identification questions, and calculation questions.

This directly eliminated the possibility of random guessing.

You either know it or you don't!

After a thorough body search, Dick changed into a special outfit and slowly walked into the white room.

A few minutes later, Adolf walked in holding a stack of sealed exam papers and read out the exam rules.

"Class B Special-grade theory exam, total 309 pages, 1325 questions, time limit six hours, stop answering after the bell rings, do not leave your seat without permission during the exam..."

"You cannot eat the chairs, you cannot smear feces or urine on the ceiling, you cannot use the exam paper to wipe your butt, you cannot stuff the quill pen into..."

Behind every rule, there was an extremely outrageous story.

Those who broke down due to the Elite theory exam often did incredibly abstract things, making tables and chairs, exam papers, and quill pens objects of their frustration.

"Candidate Dick, do you have any questions?"

"No," Dick rubbed his wrists and said casually, "Let's begin."

In fact, Adolf had missed one rule.

If a candidate finishes the exam paper early, they can submit it in advance and receive extra bonus points.

This wasn't because Adolf forgot to mention it, but because for so many years, at least since the founding of the Aimiya Empire, no one had ever finished the exam paper early.

For the E-Class or D-Class Elite theory exams, perhaps occasionally someone might finish early within a century, but for the B-Class exam, it had never happened.

Without multiple-choice and true/false questions, it was impossible to write quickly. Six hours was already the maximum speed for an average person.

After all, during the exam, all magic was prohibited, and even enhancement magic that increased hand speed couldn't be used.

Leaving the white room, Adolf came and sat down in front of the observation room, proctoring the exam with Fama.

Through the one-way glass window, they could clearly see Dick's every move. If they used sight enhancement magic, they could even see what he was writing on the exam paper.

"Lord Fama, I didn't expect this Dick Grudia to gain your favor. It truly is his luck..."

In Adolf's opinion, gaining Fama's attention was far more significant than gaining Elizabeth's attention.

The latter was merely the Empress of a nation, while the former was a renowned supreme expert in the entire Northern region. If Dick could become Fama's apprentice, his future would be limitless!

Hearing this, Fama pursed his lips and didn't say much.

Although his relationship with Dick was merely a cold cooperation, if it weren't for the matter of extending his lifespan, he would genuinely be willing to take Dick as an apprentice.

Putting aside his arrogant personality and style of doing things, Dick was indeed the most astonishing young man Fama had ever seen.

However, hmph... even if he wanted to take him as an apprentice, Dick probably wouldn't be willing.

Fama had long seen that Dick's ambition was ridiculously high. He wasn't content with the Aimiya Empire, not content with the Northern region, and not even content with the entire Demon Spirit Continent.

Dick's ambition was world-class.

Drip—

A piercing bell rang, and the exam began.

Dick immediately started reading the exam papers, question after question, page after page. He actually didn't pick up a pen right away!

"What is this kid doing? Doesn't he know he should be racing against time?"

Adolf couldn't understand. The number of questions was so large; if he didn't hurry and write, he wouldn't be able to finish at all.

Putting aside the accuracy rate for now, if he couldn't even finish the exam paper, he would be directly judged as failed.

Fama's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't immediately offer his opinion because he noticed that Dick had applied for five pens this time!

Generally speaking, one pen is enough for an exam, and even if it breaks, you can immediately apply for a replacement.

Fama guessed that Dick might have applied for five pens to save the time spent changing pens, to be on the safe side.

But since it was to save time, why was he wasting time now?

Dick's actions were very strange. He divided the 309 exam papers into five equal stacks, spread them out, his eyes rapidly moving, while his hands were constantly turning the pages.

Soon, Fama understood.

Dick was actually reading five exam papers simultaneously?!

Although he understood what Dick was doing, Fama was even more confused, because what was the use of just reading without writing?

Adolf suddenly understood. Watching Dick rapidly turn pages without stopping, he couldn't help but murmur, "He plans to read through all the exam papers once and memorize all the questions."

"After that, he can write while thinking and calculating other questions, achieving division of labor between hands, eyes, and brain, maximizing efficiency."

In the years Adolf had been the Royal Capital Guild Master, he had presided over numerous exams, including not only Elite assessments but also various certification exams.

Therefore, Adolf was well-informed and knowledgeable about various exam methods.

"But these are 309 exam papers, a total of 1325 questions. Can an average person really memorize all of them in a short time without relying on magic?"

Fama still found it incredible. He believed that the method Adolf mentioned was only suitable for exams with a small number of questions.

For exams like the Elite theory exam, it was better to honestly read and write simultaneously.

However, Adolf did not agree, only saying thoughtfully, "Who among those who can become B-Class Elite is an average person?"

Looking at Dick's calm and composed appearance, Adolf couldn't help but feel a little anticipation. The Aimiya Empire might truly be about to produce its first B-Class Elite.

Only 3 minutes had passed, and Dick had already flipped through all the exam papers. His Eye Mark Calculation was as effective as ever.

Dick's eyes were simply like a scanning device, truly capable of photographic memory, recording all the question content into his brain.

Letting out a light breath, Dick twisted his neck, licked his lips, took off his boots, and removed his socks.

Next, it was time for the talent 'Perfect Coordination' to make its appearance.

Behind the observation window, Fama and Adolf were both dumbfounded, not knowing what Dick was going to do. Was he preparing to... sleep?

Immediately after, a scene that was enough to shatter both of their worldviews appeared.

At this time, there were three stacks of exam papers on the table, while two stacks were placed on the ground next to his feet.

Then, Dick first held a pen in each hand, then held another pen in his mouth, and finally, he even held a pen with each of his feet.

So that was it. No wonder Dick had applied for five pens.

He was actually going to write on five exam papers simultaneously using his hands, feet, and mouth! That's absolutely outrageous!
