《Pandemonium of a Lazy Soul》Episode 87- Trolled
Advertisement
After waiting for a few of the students and teachers to quiet down Archer carried on. "There are a few conditions in using this ticket which you would understand later. Now, since you all understand the value of this ticket let's move to the main topic.
I presume everyone is sat in their own seats and have not swapped with other people. If you have moved, now is your chance to move back to your seat or let us know so that we can put you back where you originally belonged. " Archer called out on the people who might have swapped seats with their acquaintance just so they could sit with someone.
Seeing that no one had moved Archer issued one more warning. "I will give you two reason to start moving back to your places. One- you all have been give your badge along with you unique id printed on it. Those badges are meant to synchronise with your desks and glow if it detects the wrong badge. Anyone at that time found not to be sat where they belong will be immediately disqualified." This announcement suddenly caused many students to gasp or sit back in shock. Being disqualified even before the exam began was unheard.
"Of course, if you want to you can swap your badge with your friend to fool the detection or bribe the invigilators to help you to hide it, no one will stop you." Many of the students started wondering if they were in the right place. Bribe? Since when could they bribe their way through a graduation exam?
However, the smart one among the students realised what Mr. A was stating was aimed towards the rich and influential students. The ones that realised this and those that were not wealthy got angry seeing the unfairness of the exam.
"But before that, you will have to realise one thing. During the exam period we won't call you by your names, but rather by your unique id number. The desk you are sitting on, will project your answer sheet which has printed with your unique id, which you won't be able to change. Now imagine if you have swapped seats with your friends what would happen."

The students that changed their seats came to quick realisation that they will be writing their answers for someone else and the person writing for them could possibly fail them.
Suddenly few students started moving from their seats back to their original seats. None of them wanted the risk of being disqualified, even if they could bribe the invigilators they will be leaving their fate upon a random stranger.
As the students settled down Archer smiled. "Reason number 2 for you to start moving. I will be choosing few students here randomly according to their id number at the end of the exam. These lucky students will be awarded a golden ticket." The students suddenly started getting excited as they realised they could potentially be chosen for a ticket.
"If I find out the students that I call up doesn't match with their id number then I will publicly announce it while doing nothing to that person and giving him your golden ticket." Archer smiled evilly as the students who were still patiently waiting to not move realised they would have a chance at being picked upon for a golden ticket, all to lose it to someone else.
The few that still hadn't moved started moving back to their place, not wanting someone else to get their golden ticket.
However, what none of them noticed was the tiny device in Archer's ears. "We still have a few students who haven't moved. Seems like they are here to cheat. Just repeat the warning one more time before the start of the exam." The ever-familiar voice of Ez sounded against Archer's ears through the device.
Archer nodded before moving on. "Now these instructions are for your teachers.
We have arranged a waiting area for you, with all necessary equipment's, to observe your students from there.
You can see your students at the end of exams. Attempting to contact your students, without my permission, before the end of exam will cause not only their disqualification but of all the students of that particular teacher.
Now I would kindly ask for all teachers to leave the exam premises and follow the guide outside to your waiting room." Archer ordered the teachers. The teachers were shocked realising that they weren't the invigilators of the exam as it usually was.

He watched as the teachers gave him death stares, while he threatened them. After seeing that he was unaffected by their looks the teachers slowly left the exam hall.
"Now that they are gone, welcome our dear invigilators." The door to the side through which Archer entered opened as a stream of people walked in uniformly. They were all dressed in a white shirt and black trousers.
Most of these people looked nothing like a teacher and more like trained soldiers due to their well fit bodies and muscular arms. However, if someone observant like Ez was to look at them, he would notice a trace of panic that they were hiding.
"These are your dear friendly invigilators who will be monitoring you. We have 100 of them here. Each invigilator please move towards your assigned positions." The invigilators all moved towards their assigned position, spreading out across the hall.
Suddenly few of the noble or rich students noticed that the invigilators they received were someone they knew or belonged to their family. This got them excited, as they could potentially get away with anything during this exam.
"As many of you have noticed by now this exam hall is spilt into a square of 100 by 100. So, we decided to have split you all into groups of 100 in a 10 by 10 grid. Each invigilator here will be monitoring a group located in a 10*10 area since there are so many of you." Suddenly a wall of translucent light appeared between each 10*10 area marking out the location clearly where the boundary of each invigilators were. The sudden appearance surprised many students along with the invigilators.
"These invigilators won't and will not intrude into another invigilators territory, if they do they will have to face my wrath. These invigilators will be your judge. I won't be invigilating any of you, rather I am here to judge the victim of invigilators and the invigilators.
Now before I begin the rules for this exam, I will say this one more time. If there are any of you not sat in your seat move now. This is your last and final warning." As soon as Archer issued this warning few of the students quickly moved back to their original seats.
Law quickly frowned his brows as he realised the students that moved back were children of quite high standing people. 'What is going on here? Why did those children of nobles and rich people change their seats quickly? If they didn't move when the warning was announced previously what changed now that made their mind change.'
Law quietly observed the area and suddenly noticed something that bothered him. 'Wait, I have seen that invigilator before but where?' Law tapped his forehead with his index finger as he tried to remember where he saw that person before.
'Wait... I remember, that's Ian's chief security officer. What is he doing here?' Law suddenly looked for where Ian was to see what was going on. Suddenly he saw a surprised Ian staring back at his bodyguard, who was invigilating his area.
'This can't be!' Law thought as he quickly looked towards where Natasha was to see the familiar surprised expression as she looked at her invigilator. To confirm what he concluded he quickly looked towards Maisy, seeing the same expression Law came to his conclusion.
'Darn it! How is this fair for us?' He understood why all the unmoving nobles/ rich students suddenly moved.
All the invigilators that is in each area is somehow related or known to the rich or well-known examinee in that grid. Which meant even if the examinee in that area cheated the invigilators will let them go.
---------------------------------
Many of the V.I.P's from the opening ceremony were gathered in a posh hall, in front of a few screen while holding the glass of expensive drinks in their hands as they watched the exam unfold in the hall.
Many of them had their descendants or family members participating in this test. Hence they gathered here to watch.
Suddenly seeing the invigilators entering all the people gathered there sighed in relief and smiled menacingly. Few of them nodded towards each other while others just kept on watching in relief.
