Chapter 92: (10,000 Words Achieved) Big Boss, the Only Full Score in the History of Full Moon Academy's Founding!
The next day.
The morning radiance penetrated the tree gaps of the Forbidden Magic Forest, shining upon Huberian Castle at the end point.
The statues of the Five True Gods smiled kindly at the center of the Examination Hall, and the colorful stained glass windows projected the shadows of their figures onto the floor.
Candidates ascended the Examination Platform at the front of the Examination Hall one by one, writing down the names and identities of candidates they knew on the Examination Form, and the Examination Cap on the platform would then announce their scores accordingly.
"David, 1 point."
"Ye, -3 points."
"Wang Dabian, -1 point."
Strangely, although the announced scores were negative, none of these candidates had any unhappy expressions on their faces.
The Second Round Assessment became quite delicate because of the appearance of Magic Dragon Tar and the birth of the academy legend "Three-Faced Monster Ball."
Originally, out of 151 candidates, 71 would be eliminated, leaving only 80 to enroll and participate in the Third Round Assessment.
But now, only 67 candidates arrived at the end point, Hesperides City, on time.
Most of the other candidates had lost their combat ability through the joint efforts of Mu, Xiu Si, and Tal, and were sent to the hospital for treatment.
This made the final score verification completely lack the tense atmosphere of previous years.
After all, they needed to admit 80 people, but there were only 67 candidates in total—didn't that equal 100% admission?
This situation indeed caught the academy's leadership off guard.
"Fortunately, those few with superior talent in the First Round Assessment all successfully arrived; otherwise, we would have suffered a great loss this time." Professor Tifeng sighed.
"Right, so you guys should stop pulling these stunts later on; it's really unnecessary." The Order High Priest shrugged, ignoring Professor Tifeng's suggestive winks, and went all out: "Throwing mages into the Magic Ban domain for hand-to-hand combat to test their survival skills... who knows who came up with such heaven-defying exam rules."
"It seems the Order Sect has quite a few objections to my teaching methods." The Full Moon Queen's voice floated lightly.
The Order High Priest instantly broke into a cold sweat: "I misspoke."
The Full Moon Queen ignored him and cast her gaze toward the candidates.
She had always been like this, cold as the biting wind of the twelfth lunar month, a deep and secluded pool.
"14 points!"
Just then, the Examination Cap suddenly let out a cry, and the candidates present all gasped.
Only to see Mu, the War God's Son, standing at the center of the Examination Platform, confidently holding his head high and puffing out his chest.
He indeed had the capital to be proud.
Of the 67 candidates who passed the competition, excluding Xiu Si Da Er who was still unconscious, more than fifty of the rest had already gone on stage, and among these people, not one had received such a high score.
"14 points! How did he do it? This is truly an unreachable score!"
"Right, with the interference of the Three-Faced Monster Ball, he could still get such a high score—terrifying, terrifying!"
"This one seems to be the War God's Son, right!"
"Oh, so he's the War God's child, no wonder!"
"Awesome!"
Enjoying the crowd's cheers, Mu only felt that he was back in form again.
He took a deep breath, his gaze penetrating all the candidates, and collided with War God Bas on the VIP Seats.
Father and son needed no words; relying only on eye contact, they completed their communication.
Mu: Father, it's today. This is the moment belonging to the Bas Family.
Bas: Get lost quickly, TMD get lost quickly, don't disgrace the Bas Family!
But obviously, Mu did not understand his father's gaze.
Only to see him smile slightly, spread his arms, looking down on the crowd below the stage, and put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses from somewhere: "All eyes on me!"
"Sorry, I'm not targeting anyone; I mean, everyone present here, you are all trash!"
For a moment, the cheers that had been rising and falling just now came to an abrupt stop.
All the candidates stared blankly at Mu.
One second later, curses rang out at a volume dozens of times louder than just now.
"TMD what did you say!"
"Who did you call trash!"
"Get down here, let's compare magic!"
And Mu, listening to these curses, only felt his mood become pleasant.
Great, too great.
Big Boss indeed didn't lie to him; this one sentence could ignite the whole scene!
Right, this chuunibyou line was something he learned from Big Boss this morning.
This feeling where everyone clearly dislikes you but can do nothing about you...
Too great! "No way." Mu smiled mockingly, shrugged and stuck out his tongue: "High scores mean you can do as you please; you all are here to fight for second place."
The curses increased by another decibel.
And at the VIP Seats, Mu's father, Mr. War God Bas, had already covered his head, lowered his head in despair, and kept repeating: "This is not my son, I don't have such a son."
It's over, completely over.
This unfilial son!
He simply doesn't know what he's doing! He simply doesn't know how many points separate him from first place!
The Bas Family's reputation for generations, completely over! This time, the Order High Priest and Furnace Archbishop unexpectedly did not mock him, but patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Old brother, why not start a small account again."
"This account, I think it's ruined."
On stage, Mu was still immersed in the pleasure of instantly defeating the whole scene; his gaze once again crossed the crowd and collided with Big Boss, smiling provocatively.
"You're not as good as me. As expected, the one who's the boss is still me."
"Li Cheng ah Li Cheng, I suppose I've already become the appearance you most want to become, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have taught me those trash quotes, hehe."
He spoke softly in his heart, then turned his gaze toward Karenina. He hoped to see longing and adoration on this cute girl's face.
But unfortunately, he didn't find it.
"Alright, this candidate, I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet, hurry down, there are still a few candidates left."
"Mm, okay."
Mu collected his composure and walked down the platform. He walked very slowly, as if deliberately listening to the candidates' angry curses.
From those curses, he felt envy and jealousy.
Just like that, one step, two steps, three steps... he was like a victorious general returning home, scanning his subjects, until—
"Karenina, 40 points!"
Suddenly, the Examination Cap's voice exploded behind Mu.
And his stepping foot instantly petrified.
What thing?
How many points? Mu petrifiedly twisted his head, only to see that pure, cute, invincible beautiful girl standing on the platform shyly smiling.
Sunlight fell on her pink hair and Jie Shu.
Next second, questioning voices exploded.
"This isn't right, 40 points, that's only one point less than the Full Moon Dean's score, right!"
"How can there be such a high score, this girl hasn't even reached Second Stage!"
"Impossible! Although she's really cute, cute isn't omnipotent!"
"Everyone stop arguing, silence." The second round Examiner held his hands loosely: "Miss Karenina's score has no problem whatsoever. For the specific situation, you can look at the Visual Projection."
Speaking, on the curtain behind the girl, a Screen was projected.
Only to see the previous second, Karenina still had a timid appearance, surrounded by a group of candidates.
And the next second, that group of candidates surrounding her fell into traps one by one.
In those traps, some were filled with Paralytic Poison, some had Spiked Prickly Pear buried in them, some were filled with drugged yellow eels...
The candidates just got hit and immediately lost combat capability.
Then, Miss Karenina took out a Small Dagger, while obtaining their identity information, she plundered all the valuable things, not even sparing Clothes.
And this kind of entrapment, she actually did it... 5 times! Each movement more skilled than the last, acting evolving from the initial restrained traces of performance into a true master! The technique of plundering candidates' property also became more and more proficient, no longer the Three Light Policy of taking everything, but picking and choosing, only taking valuable things.
She, in one Assessment, completed evolution.
Watching this Screen, all candidates fell silent.
Their mouth corners twitched, foreheads full of bulging veins.
A few seconds later, don't know who, weakly said a sentence first: "Chu Sheng Dong Xi."
This title quickly gained everyone's unanimous agreement.
"Chu Sheng ah! Such a cute girl, how could she be so born!"
"Damn it, my fantasy of beautiful girls is shattered!"
"However, being able to get 40 points is indeed her capability. This matter is not non-replicable. It's just that we didn't think of it!"
"Right, how could such a cute girl be born! It's us who were too stupid!"
"Hehe, Fei Yangyang, you're really downhead."
"Mm, right, still better than that trash brother, hehe, clearly only got ten-odd points but still putting on a bullish appearance."
While speaking, the focus of the words slowly shifted from Karenina onto Mu.
"Right, Mu, oh no, should be Trash Brother, now who's the trash?"
"Ah hahaha, we all came to fight for second place, now what?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, twenty-odd points behind her..."
For a moment, countless mocking gazes and words, like cold ice rain, randomly slapped onto Mu's face.
At this moment, just like that time that moment, Mu also experienced his father's pain.
Thus, he numbly hunched his body, eyes lifeless, and squatted down.
"Heh, hehe, social, social death, social death again, hehe."
Also right at this time, he saw a pair of familiar shoes.
Those were Li Cheng's shoes.
He blankly lifted his head, matching Li Cheng's smile.
That warm, sunny, signature smile that made one feel he was a beautiful youth just by looking.
"You, your score, won't also..."
"Haven't I already told you?" Li Cheng looked at him inexplicably, walking toward the Exam Platform.
"Heh, hehe." Mu stared at his back view, little by little hugging his own knees.
He could feel, terrifying things, were about to happen.
This will be a matter sufficient to nail him onto the Full Moon Academy's Pillar of Shame.
Making him, in his student years, every moment mocked to death.
He looked at the Five True Gods' statues, gaze hollow: "Hehe, gods, why was I born into this world?"
Next second.
Only heard "sou sou sou sou sou" four sounds of sharp intakes of breath resound.
Immediately after, the Examination Cap shouted loudly: "Li Cheng, 151 points, Perfect Score!"
The entire venue fell deathly silent; everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Immediately after came screams like a tsunami!
