《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 117: The Second Stage of the Examination!
Advertisement
It was more mentally taxing for Su Hao when he took the first few general subjects.
After all, with a perfect score of 150, he was only at 140+.
"Why can't I bring sprites into the exam?"
After finishing the paper, Su Hao held his chin and thought.
In the Sprite stream, Sprite Trainers and sprites were seen as a whole.
In that case, bringing a sprite to the exam should also be reasonable and logical, right?
That way, he could bring Reverie Butterfly to the examination hall and let it help him with the examination papers.
"Other things aside, Reverie Butterfly's memory is pretty good. If I could bring it into the examination hall, I wouldn't have to revise so badly for so the countless knowledge points that I have to memorize."
Su Hao felt that the current rules of the Sprite stream had to be perfected.
When he became a Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainer in the future, he would be able to suggest reforms of the Sprite Cultivator assessment.
"Wait a minute, if I had become a Heavenly King, what reforms do I still need?"
Su Hao sank into deep thought.
A great goal was eliminated.
This wouldn't do.
He spent three seconds thinking of new targets.
"Can I make the Sprite stream assessment more difficult? This is for the future of my country."
After setting his goal, Su Hao completed the College Entrance Examination seriously.
The three days were spent in exams, going home, taking exams, and going home.
He still spent a lot of effort on the first few subjects.
When he reached the last few subjects related to sprites, Su Hao felt much more relaxed.
When he saw the questions, the answers naturally surfaced in his mind.
"If I have to come up with this question, I'll definitely have to replace the two sprites to moderate the difficulty level."
"Comprehensive theorem? Sigh… I can only write five or six lines in the blank space. That's too little, I think I can craft out a thesis."
Su Hao looked at the next question.
"Sprite Thorn Tortoise needs 0.8 seconds to form an Energy Ball. The flying speed of the Energy Ball is 50 m/s. A Six-Winged Flying Silkworm is 110 meters away from it. After 0.5 seconds, it starts to form the unique skill, Granule Machine Gun."

"Its casting time is… the speed of the granule flying is…"
"Which sprite was injured first under the unique skill and how badly was it injured?"
He shook his head.
Although it wasn't very right, he could only write it down.
"According to the judgment of the two sprites in the picture, answer…"
A test.
Su Hao used half the time to finish the whole test paper.
It was still because his handwritten speed wasn't fast enough.
After finishing the paper, he was still very dissatisfied.
He was not satisfied with the question setter.
"How can such a simple question highlight our excellence?"
"Why is full marks only 100 points and not 1000 points?"
Three days passed very quickly.
The group of students, who had just completed the written test, was like a group of huskies that went out of control.
In Liu Ren's words, it was:
"The written tests are the most exhausting and stressful test. Isn't the rest all dependent on the sprite's performance?"
What Liu Ren said made a lot of sense. Su Hao was rendered speechless.
During the written test.
Reverie Butterfly locked itself in the house everyday. The sound of typing on the keyboard filled the entire house.
"Playing games?"
Su Hao wondered if he should treat the little rascal's internet addiction with an electroconvulsive therapy after the College Entrance Examination.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a Thunder-Element Sprite.
In the room…
Reverie Butterfly marked his future schedules on the calendar.
"In two days, Su Hao will be taking part in the second stage of the exam. In 13 days, he will be taking part in the third stage of the exam…"
"There's no time to waste, gurgle ~!"
"Hurry up and save the script, coo~!"
Its short arms couldn't hit multiple buttons at once, but the two antennas on its head moved up and down.
With both hands, it quickly pressed the buttons.
It was still using a double take input method.
...
Two days later…
Before the announcement of the written test marks, the second stage of the Sprite Cultivator College Entrance Examination had begun.
Still, at the school gate of First High.

This time…
There were more than ten transport vehicles that looked like trucks parked in front of the school.
"For the second stage of the assessment, we are going to the examination hall in Yunhua City."
Old Gu said. He looked at the other teachers, some from First High and some from other schools. "Check the ID cards, admission passes, and contract sprites of all students. Then get in the car and set off."
The incident of forgetting to bring his ID card didn't happen.
There were some who forgot to bring their sprites.
A student had a Grassland Wolf sprite. When he turned around, his sprite had already disappeared. He was so anxious that he started running around in circles.
He kept calling the name of his sprite, but there was no response.
"Use Summon," said the teacher beside him.
The candidate finally reacted and clumsily used "Sprite Commandeering: Summon".
After failing once, he finally summoned his Grassland Wolf.
"Howl, howl?"
The furry Grassland Wolf was still wondering why it was suddenly pulled away, when it suddenly saw its owner pounce on it.
Bang—
The well-developed Grassland Wolf directly pushed its Sprite Trainer to the ground and stuck out its tongue to lick him. It thought that it would be rewarded like how it usually happened at home, but then it saw its Sprite Trainer's face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Howl —!!"
"Coo, hmph ~"
Reverie Butterfly shook its head.
It's all a bunch of stupid sprites gurgling ~
I'm different, gurgle ~!
A finger poked its soft belly. "Perform well and I'll consider reducing the interest rate by 10%."
"Gurgle? Gurgle (◕ᴗ◕✿)?!"
It nodded repeatedly.
It was dignified and obedient.
...
The second stage.
There were a total of five examination venues in Tiannan Province, and the examination venue in Yunhua City was one of them.
The Sprite Square in the southeast was the one with the most advanced facilities in Yunhua City.
It had already been conscripted two days ago.
It was set up as the examination hall for the College Entrance Examination.
An City's convoy stopped outside the square.
When they arrived, school teams had already gathered on the square, separated into clear groups.
There were the uniforms of Yunhua University Affiliated High School, Yunhua First High… and also some schools that he didn't recognize.
Most of them were "miscellaneous soldiers" similar to the An City team. There were several schools mixed together so their school uniforms were mixed together, and they looked more messy.
The examination was approaching.
All the teams from each school had also arrived.
They lined up and waited according to the instructions of their teacher in charge and the invigilator.
"Those whose sprites haven't reached entry level, please head to the spiritual force assessment area on the left."
"Those who sprites have reached entry level, please head to the Power Testing Area on the right."
This was because after reaching entry level, the sprites' spiritual force would be compressed, and it would be difficult to accurately measure the existing instruments, so it was changed to a power test.
Whether it was spiritual force assessment or power assessment, An City actually had both.
However, Yunhua City's facilities were more complete, more advanced, and produced more accurate test results.
The spiritual force examination area on the left was already lined up from the main hall to the square.
There were much fewer people on the right side, where the Power Testing Area was.
There were only 29 people in the whole of An City. 18 of them were students from First High, one was a Third High student, and the rest were repeat students.
However, in addition of the top students from various cities, especially Yunhua University Affiliated High School and Yunhua First High, the number increased a lot.
There were several hundreds of them.
Hundreds of official Sprite Trainers!
Even Su Hao found it a bit exaggerated.
But it was true that in recent years, the number of Sprite Trainers had increased rapidly. There were even quite a lot of new Heavenly Kings.
Just as he was thinking, it was time.
The gates of the Power Testing Area opened.
The second stage of the assessment was beginning!

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.
