The Shepherd's Covenant

During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.

This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...

Chapter 247 Final Exam

Chapter 247 Final Exam

Today is the final exam for prayer studies.

The final exams at the Royal Law University were not the kind of "exam week" that Aiwas had experienced in his previous life—after all subjects were completed, everyone would take the exams in a few days. Instead, they were colorful and different.

The format and grading standards are decided by the lecturers of each subject, and as long as the dean signs and agrees, it will be fine.

Ms. Maya was a bit lazy and didn't want to bother. So she simply created a test consisting of fill-in-the-blank and short-answer questions, testing who to pray to and how to pray in various situations. She gave it to Aiwass and the others during her last class. She was the invigilator herself.

There wasn't much on the test paper. If I kept writing, I could probably finish it in less than half an hour.

There are no particularly difficult questions, nor are there any complicated situations that will make people's brains burn.

The contents of the paper are all situations that pastors are very likely to encounter in their work in reality -

For example, Xiao Shuai died at the age of 30, stabbed to death. What kind of prayers should be offered at his funeral? Xiao Mei is getting married for the second time. What kind of prayers should be offered at her wedding? After Xiao Shuai died, his father, Lao Shuai, also died of illness. Now his family is completely wiped out. What kind of prayers should be offered at his funeral?

Or, if a priest wants to track someone through a prayer ceremony, what should he do? Or, if a priest wants to release someone from petrification through prayer, what should he do? Even in the short answer questions, there is also the question of who should he pray to and how should he pray if he wants to make middle-aged and elderly women who have gone through menopause able to get pregnant again.

Aiwass even encountered some questions that were quite characteristic of Ms. Maya—for example, the final question involved a complex mathematical calculation that couldn't go wrong, such as a tax return. In this case, the person couldn't do the math, but because the data was confidential, they couldn't share it with anyone. So, how should priests use prayer to address this situation?

——The answer is to respectfully ask an apostle of the balanced path to help calculate it.

This question is quite misleading.

Despite its name, the Path of Wisdom is actually closer to philosophy, logic, and strategy. While it also encompasses some theoretical mathematics... tax preparation, which falls into the applied realm, definitely belongs to the Path of Balance. Apostles of the Path of Wisdom will certainly ignore you.

Follow the rules and set out the rituals and offerings, explain the situation, and then put the form you need to fill out. If the apostle thinks it's okay, he'll fill in the number for you.

It's also a kind of computer.

If there is no response, it means that the apostle is in a bad mood today. Then try shaking the card again with someone else, and don't summon the same apostle.

Anyway, for high-level extraordinary people, this level of calculation is just a matter of a glance.

Just like Aiwass—after all, he arrived a few months late, so he hadn't originally expected to get a seven-petal flower. According to his estimate, he would probably be able to get a five-petal flower.

However, after last night's promotion, he felt his thinking ability had significantly improved. Even the knowledge he had memorized before the promotion now came back to him clearly. He wrote almost non-stop, finishing the paper effortlessly. After handing it in, he pushed his wheelchair out the door to bask in the sun and wait for Lily.

He was very sure that he could get full marks.

Except for the first two departments that ordinary people enter, the examinations for other departments of the Royal Law University are not calculated according to deviation values ​​or proportions.

Because they don't need to "screen talents", they just need to teach these students.

From this perspective, their final exams are actually closer to certification exams.

The test setters don't deliberately create difficult questions to differentiate between students' abilities. All knowledge is within a reasonable range. As long as students truly master the knowledge, they will receive high or even full marks, regardless of how many others have mastered it.

When it comes to occult matters, if you know how to do it, ... and if you don't, you don't know how to do it. There's no such thing as "I know it better than others."

Even if there is a student in a class who is closest to mastering the art of illumination or blessing, as long as he or she has not mastered it, no matter how close he or she is, he or she does not know how to do it. Even if he or she knew nothing about illumination before, but suddenly learned it one day, he or she does know how to do it.

Generally speaking, the school's expectation is that students will reach the peak of the first level or the second level after graduation.

If one only starts to engage in supernormal abilities after entering school and reaches the second energy level before graduation, then it means that by the age of 30, one will almost certainly reach the third energy level. This would make one a pillar of the nation.

After a while, Ms. Meiya strolled out by herself.

"Do you know how you did on the test?"

Meiya ran behind Aiwass and asked with a smile.

Aiwass didn't answer, but asked, "Is it okay for you not to watch?"

"The spirit guard is invigilating inside. I've set a rule for it: 'If it sees anyone behaving inappropriately for a student, knock them unconscious.'"

Meiya replied briskly, "This is also a way to solve the problem through prayer."

"Then if I use prayer to fill out the test paper directly, would that be considered cheating?"

"Okay. But I'll give you full marks too."

Meiya said with a smile: "But don't tell them this."

As she spoke, Meiya took out a small notebook the size of a palm.

That was Aiwass's student handbook, and also his diploma. It would be given to him when he graduated.

At this moment, a seven-petal flower was printed on the back of the first-year "Prayer Studies," and Aiwass's "Modern History" and "Elf Language" also had seven-petal flowers printed on their backs.

"I have finished grading your paper."

Ms. Meiya sighed, "You're not going to get full marks, are you?"

"No," Aiwass said firmly, "I'm still not very good at Iris language. I'm lucky to have passed."

"Where's Xing Ti Yu?"

"It's not a big deal."

"That's normal. Learning three languages ​​right from the start of first grade is pretty stressful, too. But for us, a decent grasp of Iris and Star Antimony is enough—basically, just enough to understand a book with a dictionary and communicate in daily life. But Elvish still needs to be studied diligently."

Meiya said earnestly, "After these two semesters, there will be no further exams for Iris and Star Antimony. But Elvish will be taught until you graduate, and you'll have to continue learning it even after graduation."

"Like the book I was planning to lend you...it's also written in Elvish. If your grasp of Elvish isn't deep enough, then even if you get a book like that later on, it'll be difficult to read."

Aiwass was her favorite student—not only because he became a link, allowing her to reconnect with her brother Samuel, whom she had not communicated with for many years; nor was it just because Aiwass was recognized by the Red-handled Holy Sword or because he was handsome.

Of course, there may be some of these reasons, but they are not comprehensive.

To be honest, Aiwass is actually good enough.

She had no biological children, and neither did Samuel, but for different reasons—at least she didn't want to get married, but Samuel didn't know.

But she didn't dislike children and even adopted one herself. Or rather, few transcendents dedicated to the path disliked children.

Because the process of raising children itself is a way of dedication - parents sacrifice their own flesh and blood, time, energy, and money to dedicate themselves to others.

As Professor James's adopted son, Aiwass had lost his parents long ago, which made Ms. Meiya feel pity for him.

At the same time, Aiwass reached the third energy level at the age of only eighteen... As long as there is no accident, no accidental death or soul damage in the middle, it can be said that he will definitely reach the fifth energy level.

——Those are the best people in the world!

Although Ms. Maya was not Aiwass's mentor, she was also proud of it.

Just like my own child. At the same time, he is also well-behaved, sensible, pretty, cute, and talented...

The only pity was that Aiwass and Mina had a good relationship, which made it difficult for her to complain about her brother in front of Aiwass, as it would be impolite.

She'd previously suggested that Aiwass visit her brother and then lend him her tantra. It wasn't that she was truly eager to know what was going on with Samuel. Even if she didn't like Mina, a visit wouldn't have been a big deal.

Maya actually just wanted to find an excuse to show her book to Aiwass.

She walked around for a bit, then went back to invigilate. When the final exam was over, she packed the papers she hadn't finished grading into her bag and went home with Aiwass.

It’s called home, but it’s actually just a dormitory.

Although Madam Maya was also a bishop, unlike Samuel, she didn't have her own church. She was a bishop who taught full-time... but her status was noble, so she also lived on Ronin Street.

Aiwass lives at 14 Ronin Street, and Meiya lives at 38 Ronin Street.

From the Aiwass house, walk west for about fifteen minutes to reach Maya's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Aiwas was stunned——

At first he thought he was in Meg's dorm.

“…Why is there so much alcohol and junk food?!”

"Ahhhh I forgot to clean it up!"

Meiya held her head and screamed like a groundhog.
