On the morning of the exam, Qiao called Xiubing and Hai Qing to the entrance of Qingshang Izakaya to prepare for the journey. Although their minds were filled with all kinds of things, they still ran to the designated location very quickly.
"Good morning."
"Oh!"
Joe had already packed his things and was waiting for them at the door.
"So, what's the so-called surprise?”Hai Qing asked.
" Phew…" She untied the delicate knot in her hand, revealing a few beautiful rice balls in the cloth bag. A fragrance wafted out, attracting the person opposite her to poke his head out curiously." These are the rice balls." Miss Ji Zi made it herself. There are many herbs inside that can replenish spirit energy. Alright, let's get ready to go after eating this.”
"Rice Ball! I like it!" As soon as she saw the food, Hai Qing took the first bite and stuffed her mouth with rice.
Xiu Bing was more polite,"The most ordinary things are the most reassuring." Thank you, Jiu Nan."
Joe smiled and nodded.
"Everyone, work hard."
"Of course."
Xiu Bing looked very confident.
In the past year, they had all become much stronger. Perhaps he was confident because of his hard work this year.
"…Let's go."
She hid the uneasiness in her eyes and felt that her footsteps were a little heavy.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of Zhenyang Spiritual Academy.
This year, there were more people taking the exam than last year. The square in front of the Spiritual Academy was already crowded with people, making Hai Qing, who was not nervous at all, inexplicably nervous. She had come to the Jingling Palace a few times with her big brother, Hai Yan. She had the impression that the Jingling Palace was like a large and empty training ground. She did not expect that even such a large square could be crowded with people.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious? You want to compete with so many people?”Hai Qing clicked her tongue.
"Are you afraid?" Xiubing was very surprised and said in his usual serious tone," You're so strong, but you're still afraid of the exam... Ah-"
Hai Qing quickly punched him back.""Who would be afraid! I'm just worried that it'll be dark when it's our turn! Idiot!"
In fact, just as she said, it was already afternoon when the three of them could walk into the examination hall. There were many people who signed up for the examination this year. As they were the last to sign up, they got more than 3,000 people. It was not easy to select hundreds of people from 3,000 people.
What kind of concept was this? Three thousand people were enough to form half of the Court Guard Squad Thirteen.
There were too many people, so the exam had to be divided into two batches. Therefore, they had to wait for several hours without getting any decent apology from the officials. The few guards responsible for maintaining order at the scene all had extremely impatient expressions on their faces, and their tone gradually became unfriendly.
"You guys, don't push forward! When it's your turn, it'll naturally be your turn. It's useless to be anxious!”
"Go back to your original position obediently!"
"S-Sorry…"
"Hmph, a brat from Flowing Soul Street is only so good. Even if he enters the Tranquil Palace in the future, he won't be able to do much. If you know what's good for you, go home early!”
A few children with pitifully thin spiritual power had already become the birds that stood out.
"Is the attitude of the Grim Reaper always so arrogant?”Xiu Bing was a little disappointed when he saw everything. After all, the person he had always admired, Rokucha Kenshi, was a big shot who was worlds apart from these people.
Hai Qing opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
The Grim Reaper also had emotions that ordinary people should have, regardless of whether they were positive or negative. At the same time, the Grim Reaper who ran to Liuhun Street to bully the weak because of his absolute strength could be seen everywhere. This was an undeniable fact in Jingling Palace. The inevitable corruption caused by the disparity in strength.
However, there was no point in complaining now.
If they could not become an existence more powerful than them, it would be meaningless.
At this moment, in contrast to their nervousness, the examiners and the supervising teachers were sitting leisurely in the teaching building drinking tea.
"This group of little ghosts is really too much. They clearly don't have enough spiritual power, but they still came to join in the fun. They really know how to cause trouble.”
An invigilator sitting in the classroom saw the crowded situation outside and frowned.
"However, when I saw the outstanding rookies coming out one after another, I felt that Regretless had chosen the path of Death. There's nothing wrong with that."
The person who spoke was one of the most famous lecturers in the Spiritual Academy--
"Teacher Big Sect is right. There are many insignificant shrimps among the brats here today, but there are also many good seedlings who have the hope of becoming outstanding.”A woman next to him did not say anything, but suddenly interrupted," For example…the child in the group on the far right.”
He had short black hair and wasn't tall, but he was very imposing. Presumably, he would also become a First Seat.
"…Hmm, your spiritual power is not bad." Naihara also agreed.
"But in terms of talent, the batch from the Tranquil Palace is definitely worth looking forward to, isn't it?”The invigilator was dissatisfied with her behavior and did not show it on his face, but he retorted immediately," There are many outstanding people among the nobles this year. Have you heard of them, Teacher Chuanyi? They were all big shots who would definitely become high officials.”
"Hmm? For example?"
"Hu Che Clan's Qing Yin, Yuan Clan's Moritaro, Aomori Clan's Wu Yi…"
Halfway through his sentence, his fingers that were flipping through the register stopped.
"-oh,"
"What's wrong?" The female teacher raised her eyebrows.”
"The eldest young master of the Ijuin family will also come to the Spiritual Academy this year. Tsk, tsk, tsk. They are all outstanding talents. Presumably, the new students 'classes this year will be very lively.”
The Ijuin family was a well-known noble in the Jingling Palace. They had served the Fifth Division for generations. Their reputation and power could not be underestimated. However, in recent years, their style seemed to have become more and more ostentatious. Prosperity was bound to decline. He wondered if this new young master could save the future of Iju Yard.
