Chapter 211: Chapter 205: Difficulty Increase

Twenty minutes before the exam began, David Jones glanced around the room only to find that there were no familiar faces among the candidates.
“After all, there are so many candidates in the Beastmaster’s Examination, it’s understandable if we aren’t allocated together.” With this thought in mind, he began to close his eyes and cultivate, preparing to face the exam in his best state.
The first subject on the first morning was Beast Studies.
David first skimmed through the paper, finding that all the questions were of the usual type. Even the final few big questions, obviously designed to distinguish grades, seemed relatively simple to him.
“As expected, these kind of exams that you can ace by rote memorization present basically no difficulty for cultivators with strong psychic powers.” David started answering the questions with a relaxed expression.
I m sorry, but according to the rules, late candidates are not allowed to enter the examination room.” Suddenly, a small commotion near the classroom door caught David’s attention.
Looking at the unfamiliar student crying at the doorway, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
While he had heard that every year there were candidates in the Beastmaster’s Examination who were late due to various accidents, this was the first time David had seen it happen.
However, compared to the weight of theoretical knowledge, the Arcane Star assessment and practical assessment were considerably more crucial for the candidates, and the scores gained were higher.
Missing a theoretical exam did have a significant impact on the candidates, but as long as the ability of the Trainer was strong enough, they could still try for the eight academies even if their basic score didn’t reach the threshold for the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five!
After all, at the end of the day, it’s the trainer’s abilities that matter the most! “What a pity!”
David shook his head, then handed in his paper early and left amidst the astonished gazes of the other candidates.
The afternoon exam was Resourcology, a subject that David, as an Identifier, was particularly confident in and expected to score full marks.
The result, as expected, he completed the exam smoothly and should be able to get full marks.
The topic of the next morning’s exam was Elixir Studies.
After quickly finishing several difficult big questions for a regular Trainer, David cast a smile out of the window.
It seems he was quite lucky. All these were knowledge points mentioned in the Pharmacist Manual. He wondered whether John had been studying the Pharmacist Manual these days. If so, he should be able to score well in this exam.
Then, the familiar scene of submitting his paper early occurred again. This time, the other candidates in the classroom were getting used to it.
To them, David, who could submit every exam early, was seen as either a knowledgeable grade master or a hopeless grade loser.
The last exam in the afternoon was Arcane Implement Studies, which was David’s weakest subject.
However, he still managed to perfectly finish all the questions, except for the penultimate big question.
“A Star Ring in a Trainer’s hand is a home for pets, can a Star Ring, which has lost one-third of its ring surface during a battle, still be used? If it can be used, list the various methods to restore and maintain the internal space of the Star Ring to prevent it from collapsing, in order.”
“A new question type this year? What an obscure question!” For a moment, David was somewhat at a loss.
After thinking for a while, he decisively wrote that it could continue to be used.
As for how to repair it, he guessed blindly because after all, it was the Beastmaster’s Examination, and he wanted to grab as many points as he could. What if he guessed right by sheer luck!
After handing in his paper and leaving the exam room, David estimated his approximate score in his mind as he walked.
“Not bad, I should be able to score above 570 in this theoretical examination.”
The theoretical part of the Beastmaster’s Examination consists of four subjects, each with a maximum score of too, and a total of 600 points. Last year, the cut-off for the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five was 560 points. His estimated score should be more than sufficient for that.
“Long time no see, David.” A familiar clear female voice suddenly sounded.
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Margaret Yule quickly walked toward David and joined him.
She slapped David on the shoulder and laughed, “The theoretical exams are finally finished! How did you do? Are you confident?”
“Yeah, I guess getting into Rosewood College shouldn’t be a problem.” Seeing the elegantly shaped girl in front of him, David modestly grinned.
“I feel the same.” Margaret confidently chuckled, then looked at the nearby teaching building and said, “I heard that Rosewood College’s practical examination will be tough this year!”
At this, David’s face revealed a hint of curiosity, “Has the content of this year’s practical examination of Rosewood College been released?”
Margaret shook her head, “The specific content hasn’t been released yet, but I heard that as long as you get a hundred points in the practical examination, you can enter Rosewood College.”
“A hundred points?” David mumbled.
He had heard some news about the practical examination of the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, but compared to the practical grades of previous years, a hundred points were too low.
He knew that the practical score of last year’s top scorer in Waterland City’s High School, Avery Nelly, reached 115, but she still didn’t make it to the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five.
If this was true, the lower the admission score of Rosewood College this year,
the more difficult the practical examination would be.
“Yes. It seems that the chances of me getting into Rosewood College have become more remote, to the point of impossibility.” Margaret said, with a bitter smile.
“So you’re giving up?” David’s eyes were fixated on her.
Margaret clenched her fists, and a resolute voice rang out, “I don’t want to give
Looking sideways at the evening glow in the distance, David changed the subject, “By the way, I still owe you a late-night snack. Is it okay if I replace that with dinner?”
Margaret was slightly startled and then a smile appeared on her face, “Okay, but I want a feast.”
“Don’t worry, it will absolutely be a feast.”
Thus, David took Margaret to his house.
“You said you’d treat me to a feast. What’s this?” Margaret glanced subconsciously at the layout in the hall. Hmm… it was unexpectedly neat.
“Can’t a feast be prepared by a master chef personally?” David retorted with a smile.
Compared to eating out, he was more confident in his own cooking.
“In that case, I’ll wait and see. By the way, is there anything I can help with?” Seeing David’s busy figure, Margaret couldn’t help but rise and offer her assistance.
“No need, I can handle it. Rainbow, you make the tea. Daphne, please entertain our guest.”
“Such a beautiful Titanium Ragdoll, is it a variant species?” Margaret gently held Daphne, who was sleeping on the sofa.
It was the first time she had seen a Titanium Ragdoll with one blue and one red eye.
“Meow!” (▼{□!▼#) (Let me go!)
Forced to entertain, Daphne began to struggle fiercely.
If it hadn’t been for its master’s restraint, she would have wanted to blast a fireball at the girl’s face!
