At the entrance of the Imperial Royal Military Academy, there was a constant flow of people and traffic.
One hover car after another came in and out, but among these hover cars, there was a black hover car about seven or eight meters long, which was quietly parked at the school gate.
A dozen or so teachers and several students from the Pharmacy Department stood outside the vehicle. A female teacher wearing glasses stood at the door of the hovercraft and shouted, "Get in! Get in! Hurry up! We're heading to the competition venue now, everyone, get in!"
A total of 890 schools participated in the National College Pharmacist League, representing hundreds of life-bearing planets across the empire! This could be considered an extremely large-scale pharmacist competition.
The Empire will cover all the costs of participating schools, and will directly purchase spaceship tickets and arrange accommodation for them based on the distance of the schools.
Since their school is located in the imperial capital and very close to the examination venue, they always go directly from school to take the exam.
The location of the preliminary written examination is at the Imperial Star Sports Plaza. Everyone will take the exam directly on the flat square. In the examination room, there will not only be shielding devices and hundreds of teachers to supervise the exams, but also hundreds of small flight monitors to monitor every student's movements at all times.
The hovercraft was very fast, and the distance between the school and the examination hall was short, so it only took less than 20 minutes.
They rushed to the examination room.
"You must do well in the exam and strive to advance to the semi-finals and participate in the practical pharmacy assessment."
"After these days of special training, everyone's grades have improved significantly. I believe you will all do very well in the exam!"
"We'll be waiting outside the examination room for you to come out!"
"Give us all your smart computers first. You are not allowed to bring them into the exam room. Come back and get them when you come back."
Outside the examination room, the teachers carefully gave encouragement to Ye Wenya and the other ten students. Huang Xuemin patted Ye Wenya on the shoulder and gave her a cheering gesture. "The teacher is very optimistic about you this time. Do well in the exam! I'll give you a week off when we get back!"
"Yes! Teacher, I will try my best." Ye Wenya nodded and smiled.
She also saw how hard the school teachers worked these days. Teacher Huang had obviously lost a lot of weight and looked much more haggard.
Even though awakened orcs have far greater physical strength than ordinary people, the constant high-intensity teaching and the need to re-register after returning home have become a bit too much for Huang Xuemin, who has been sitting in the office all year round.
Standing at the school gate with the teachers and students of their school were teachers from other schools. The teachers of these schools also earnestly advised their students to take the exam well and not to be nervous.
But Ye Wenya could clearly sense the tense atmosphere around her at a glance. One of the little girls had red eyes and looked like she was about to cry, causing several female teachers to stand by and comfort her.
"Ding Dong! -- Contestants, please prepare to enter the venue now!"
Pleasant electronic mechanical sounds rang out throughout the square, and the gate to the sports stadium gradually opened, revealing three inspection gates lined up inside.
At each checkpoint, there are two teachers and two artificial intelligence robots.
The inspection was swift; the long line of hundreds of people cleared in less than half an hour before all the contestants entered the examination room. The once vibrant green competition field was now a solemn metallic white. Even the grass had been replaced with smooth tiles, and even tables and chairs were filled with exam tables.
Hundreds of black flight monitors were on standby, hovering above the stadium.
Hundreds of invigilators have already taken their seats, keeping a close eye on everyone in the examination room.
The seat number of each candidate was randomly drawn by the system, and Ye Wenya's seat was far away from the other nine people.
After finding her seat No. 83 in row 6, Ye Wenya sat down. She could clearly feel the gazes of people around her, and several candidates subconsciously glanced at her.
Nothing else.
It was really because Ye Wenya's appearance and temperament were too different from those of the other candidates around her.
The students who were able to participate in this competition were not necessarily exceptional, but the vast majority were diligent and dedicated students who studied diligently. These dedicated students generally didn't care for dressing up; simply dressing cleanly and comfortably was sufficient.
But Ye Wenya's gorgeous face, fair complexion, and curvy figure couldn't be concealed even by the simplest white shirt. Add to that her long, wavy hair that fell to her waist, cascading over her shoulders like seaweed, and her leisurely demeanor, as if strolling around, and she stood out from the other candidates, who were on high alert, their faces filled with fear.
"Who is this person? Which school is he from? He doesn't look like a contestant this time at all. Instead, he looks like a student majoring in acting at the art academy next door." Two young girls sitting not far behind Ye Wenya whispered.
"Maybe they came to the Imperial Capital from other planets. I heard that the educational conditions on many remote planets are not very good. There are no more than 50 people in the entire department of pharmacy. Each school is given 10 places. Most people are just here for show and don't have much real ability." Another girl also lowered her voice and spoke with contempt.
In fact, the conditions on many remote planets are not good, it is true.
These universities generally have relatively high national rankings and offer majors in literature that do not require a lot of money.
Although the two people's voices were not loud, Ye Wenya heard them clearly. She turned her head and looked at the two people with a smile. Her dark eyes were extremely deep. The two girls who originally wanted to say a few more words did not know what happened. After seeing these eyes,
He was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, coughed twice, turned his head to the other side, and pretended that he had never said those words.
"Time's up! Everyone, stop making noise and whispering! The exam will begin!"
As the broadcast sounded throughout the examination room, three white partitions instantly appeared on the seats of all the candidates, blocking the entire table tightly and turning it into a large semi-open box. The white partition facing the candidates suddenly flashed with white light, and densely packed test questions appeared.
Ye Wenya glanced down lightly and saw the words "Page 22" at the bottom.
No wonder this exam lasted three and a half hours. The number of questions was much larger than that of the single subject exams at the beginning of the school year.
The first written test of this exam will eliminate more than 98% of the students, leaving only the top 100 contestants to participate in the afternoon potion-making competition.
"Heavenly Spiritual Branch, a Grade B medicinal herb, suitable as an auxiliary ingredient for low-level mental suppressants. This question is quite simple..."
"Hmm, Lotus Cloud Grass, a C-grade medicinal herb, grown in the southwest of the empire, on a remote, uninhabited planet, on a snowy mountain peak. These topics are a bit unpopular... But overall, the questions are much more difficult than the pre-school placement test... and are about the same difficulty as the training class I took at school today..."
Ye Wenya's slender white fingers were like fluttering butterflies, sliding and writing quickly on the virtual electronic light screen, her clear black eyes fixed on the virtual light screen without blinking.
Ye Wenya was very quick. For her, the questions that others might not be able to finish in three and a half hours only took her half an hour to complete.
After checking it carefully twice, Ye Wenya directly chose to submit the test paper and leave the examination room.
Most of those who can come here to participate in the National College Pharmacists League have their own ambitions. During the exams on weekdays, even if they have finished writing the papers, they will sit in the examination room honestly to check.
Not to mention this league, the exam has such a large number of questions.
Didn't you just give up?
The groups of invigilators were confused, but fortunately they had been teaching for many years and had amazing self-control. They knew that they should not make noise in the examination room and affect other contestants.
When Ye Wenya left, the invigilator standing at the door looked at Ye Wenya several times before finally letting her go.
"Why did you hand in your paper so early?!" Huang Xuemin rushed forward as soon as he saw Ye Wenya leaving the examination room. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with grief and indignation. "Even if you have finished the paper, you still have to check it several times! What if you make a mistake and get rejected? What will you do then?!"
"Old Huang, why are you running so fast? ... Hey, has Student Ye finished his exam? He submitted his paper so early, so it seems the questions shouldn't be difficult this time."
Another pharmacy teacher, who was following behind Huang Xuemin, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Hey, Mr. Huang! You're just too worried... Don't you know what Mr. Ye is capable of? This time, Mr. Ye will definitely bring honor to our school!"
After saying this, the teacher gave Ye Wenya a thumbs up on the spot with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Huang... Is this a student from your school? Why did she hand in her paper so early? I just thought she was a student from the remote Xing Huangtu School." A middle-aged man with a mustache, a thin face, and who looked very difficult to mess with, walked over with a forced smile.
Loess School, located on the westernmost mining planet of the empire, has a student population of just over 1,000, a staggering number for a planet of its size! It's also known throughout the empire as having the worst pharmacy program! The entire program, across all four grades, has fewer than 40 students combined! Some graduates can't even create an E-grade potion, bringing shame to the entire pharmacy profession!
Huang Xuemin had expressed his concern before, but now his brows furrowed and he retorted directly, "So it's Professor Qian from the Imperial Pharmacy College... No wonder he's so narrow-minded. He's never seen a student with good academic performance or who can solve problems quickly. He's truly pathetic."
"You've been working at the Imperial Pharmacy School for over a hundred years, and you've probably never seen anyone like my student, with excellent grades, a lively mind, a pleasing appearance, and a high level of alchemy skills. Now I'm letting you take a look. Maybe you'll find a student as outstanding as ours in the future!"
