As the students were seated waiting for Maadili to start his boring lesson, what he said next surprised them. "Put away everything on your desks, there will be a test today." On hearing this, all the students started perspiring. Some were complaining but on seeing Maadili's 'hard' face, everyone knew nothing could move him. They hadn't even settled down yet they were already getting a Random Assessment Test (RAT).

The class representative, a mousy kid nicknamed 'Combined Harvester' for his insatiable gluttony, quickly distributed rectangular stone tablets to each student. These 12 inch tablets were different from ordinary sheets, scrolls or books. The teacher simply had to use a 'Write Skill', a Rank 3 Magic Spell, to transfer the RAT questions from his mind to the tablets. And after the test was over, the content on the stone tablet could be deleted unlike with scrolls and books.

Seeing the RAT questions, many students felt a deep sense of hopelessness. The test was no joke! Maadili really lived up to his reputation as a 'hard' teacher.

1. Name and describe the 10 spirits of the body and 2 spirits of nature

"I can only name 4 or 5!"

2. Give the names of the three great nation's superior armies

"At least I know this one!"

The second question was a breath of fresh air for most students as it involved the general history of the Sword Scar continent. The entire continent was comprised of 21 nations: 16 Small Nations attached to 3 Great Nations and 2 isolated nations.

Each of the 3 Great Nations had a superior army: The Order of the Black Knights, The Demon Suppression Army, and Poseidon's Navy. Unlike small nations like the Kingdom of Toro, the military power of the 3 great nations put them at the level of hegemony. It was said that in these superior armies, even the lowest level soldier was a High Rank Crystal Warrior of at least the 7th level and their strongest had already surpassed the 9 ranks of Crystal warriors entering another unknown tier of strength.

3. Explain the relationship between the Kingdom of Gold and the kingdom of Darkness among the 3 great nations.

"Ah, these are easy, wheew." Mwana started feeling as if the test was simple but it turned out he had rejoiced too early!

4. Explain 10 major contributions of the human emperor

5. Discuss with detailed examples at least 5 fundamental meanings of each line in the true spirit canon

6. Write an essay discussing the thematic relevance of Petals of Blood in contemporary society [at least 500 words]

"5 minutes left!" Maadili's croaky voice came in at the worst possible time breaking the student's already messy concentration. Some were trying to write the essay so fast that their fingers were shaking from pain yet the minutes kept counting down. "Why is time moving so fast today?!"
