So Arpad boldly placed the parchment filled with formulas and examples on the table, pretending to solve the problems while checking the examples with the magic of revelation.

"Very good... The dean has explained these questions before. We can solve them by simply swapping the numbers."

Arpad calculated on the parchment with great pride and finished the first five questions in a few minutes. However, he soon discovered that this method of replacing example questions was not always effective, because many question types on the test paper had never been seen before, and simply substituting formulas and swapping numbers would not work at all.

Arpad thought hard, and then, not giving up, he cast a spell again to make the cheat sheet on the parchment visible. He read it line by line, trying to find out if he had missed a formula.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly rang in his ears. Before Arpad could react, a long copper nail had already flown past and nailed the quill and test paper in his hands... The parchment in front of him also floated up and flew towards the invigilation desk spontaneously.

"Dean..." Arpad was startled and stood up suddenly from his seat.

Lynn stretched out his hand, and the parchment fell into his palm.

Arpad tried his best to maintain his superficial calm, suppressing his fear and anxiety in his heart, and constantly comforting himself that the special invisible ink was very concealed and could not be discovered.

Orlando and Fulla, who were thinking about the test questions, also remembered their responsibilities as invigilators and immediately came over. There were some messy drafts written on the parchment, which didn't look anything special.

However, everyone understood that this must be some kind of cheating method, otherwise the dean would not have acted so suddenly.

Lynn looked at Arpad with interest and instantly guessed that this should be invisible ink.

It was obviously too much to try to deceive him with this little trick.

The so-called invisible ink is nothing more than some kind of invisible spectrum, so...Lin En's mind moved, and the magic power immediately constructed a prism, which decomposed the sunlight coming in from the window, and the ultraviolet rays that were also invisible to the naked eye were gathered together and refracted onto the parchment, and the invisible handwriting immediately appeared.

Arpad's face turned pale, and he cursed the damn herbalist in his heart. Didn't they say that this thing was very hidden, and even a formal wizard couldn't see it? "Arpad, I should have told you before what the consequences of cheating are. You can go back now!" Lin En threw the parchment back and said coldly.

"Dean, please, give me another chance..." Arpad pleaded in panic. He was already 29 years old this year. According to the practice of Yieta, once a person is over 30 years old and has not become a formal wizard, he will be judged as having no potential and will be expelled from the academy.

Lin En was unwavering. Since he had chosen to take a shortcut, he had to take risks. If he didn't punish them, wouldn't that be unfair to those who worked hard to learn...

So no matter how Arpad cried and begged, Lynn just waved his hand and asked Orlando to take him away so as not to disturb the other students' exams.

Despite this lesson, there are still many students who attempt to cheat in this exam. Everyone is hoping for the best and believes that they will not be caught.

There are also smart ones. For example, one apprentice has mastered a magical skill that allows him to peek at other people's answers through the reflection of light without anyone noticing. If Lin En had not already broken through to the level of a great wizard, he would have almost been fooled by the other party.

There were also methods such as using farsightedness to peek. Fortunately, Lin En was a veteran. Although he had no magic in his previous life, various high-tech cheating methods were no worse than magic. So in just a few minutes, he caught these people one by one.

There was a sudden cry of grief in the examination room. Among the 230 apprentices who took the exam, 37 of them tried to cheat in various ways. They were all kicked out of the examination room and their scores were directly invalidated.

Alok watched as one apprentice after another was disqualified from the exam and walked past him with a gloomy look on their faces. Some of them even faced severe punishment. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. In fact, he had also prepared cheat sheets, but he had been struggling to find the courage to take them out.

After all, the dean had caused him a great psychological trauma before, but he didn't expect that he had successfully escaped the disaster. While secretly rejoicing in his happiness, he had no choice but to rack his brains to continue doing the questions.

Even if the written test score is a little lower, there is still a practical test afterwards. As long as you perform well, it should be no problem to get a good score.

Lydia, who was in the examination room, had the exact opposite thoughts from Alok.

As a halfling with no magical talent, she was able to take the exam entirely with Lin En's special approval, but the dean would not give her a back door.

This meant that he was destined not to get any marks in the plastic arts subject of the practical class, and could only make a little effort in alchemy and herbology, but it would probably be difficult for him to even pass.

In order to pass the exam successfully, you must be extremely good at the written test subjects...

Lydia also worked extremely hard. As the maker and pilot of the airship, she was very familiar with the area and volume calculations of geometric figures, as well as several formulas for free fall, so she finished the basic questions in just one and a half hours.

But when I was doing the last dozen or so questions, I was stumped. These questions either involved the movement of celestial bodies or were related to functions. Even the simplest ones involved extremely complex geometric calculations, which made my head hurt just thinking about them.

For example, one of the questions...

[A, B, and C are our three artillery positions. A is six kilometers east of B, and C is 30 degrees west of B, five kilometers apart. P is the enemy's priest group position. At a certain moment, a bishop used the communication magic and was discovered by our side. Since B and C are farther away from P than A, the traces of the communication magic were not discovered until three seconds later. It is known that the transmission speed of the communication magic is one kilometer per second. Find the azimuth angle of A's artillery attack on the priest group position...]

It’s so difficult…

Lydia made a bitter face and wrote and drew on the manuscript paper, wishing she could stuff the entire test paper into the dean's mouth. Couldn't she give them some simple questions? (End of this chapter)
