Chapter 58 58. Theory Exam
Chapter 58 58. Theory Exam
Obviously, she was extremely satisfied and happy with the training session she just had.
Aiden smiled and walked over, tapping her on the shoulder, causing Raelia to quickly turn around.
"Aiden? Why are you here?"
"The same reason as you, I presume. I was simply testing out the new divine technique I picked up with my divine credits."
When Raelia heard this, her mystical blue eyes shone with a strange light.
"Have you already started to master it?"
Aiden heard this question and shrugged.
"More or less, I suppose."
When Raelia heard this, she took a deep, cold breath. It was times like this that made her want to open Aiden's head and see how that strange brain of his really worked.
She just shook her head and smiled.
"You're already stronger than you were during the exam? How are other trainees supposed to even catch a break?"
"Hey, you make it seem like I'm a mindless training drone. Even I take breaks, you know. In fact, I'm going on one right now. You just finished training as well, why don't you come along?"
When Raelia heard this, she just shook her head.
"Unfortunately, I can't join you. The results of the theory exam are going to be posted up soon. I'm going over to see how well I did."
When Aiden heard this, his face turned extremely ugly. It wasn't like Raelia had said something to offend him, but the word "theory exam" had evoked a kind of suppressed response in him.
He couldn't help but slightly shiver when he heard the words.
Shortly after their surprise practical exam, their theory exam was also announced. Fortunately, the professor for their theoretical examination was much more humane than Instructor Kyros and had at least given them a week's worth of time to prepare and revise beforehand. But even so, Aiden still knew that he was royally screwed.
He had put his head down and revised like a madman. It was so bad that Aiden was sure that, despite having the blood of a god flowing through his veins, he had still lost years of his lifespan.
What made matters worse was that when Aiden sat down in the exam hall, he could barely even understand half of what was written in the exam paper.
He was cooked!
After the exam, Aiden had been living like a ghost, so the word "exam" still caused him to have a trauma response.
Raelia saw Aiden's reaction and knew just how bad he'd had it these last few days, so she just patted him on the shoulder.
"You've got to see your results eventually. After all the work you put in, surely it won't be that bad."
Aiden heard this and slowly came to his senses.
Raelia was right.
He had worked his butt off; there was no way his results could be that bad.
Reluctantly, Aiden also accompanied Raelia to go see the results of his examination.
On the way there, they ran into a familiar face.
It was Oliver.
To be honest, Aiden hadn't seen Oliver much over these last few days. He had been busy training with his new technique, and Oliver had been busy doing his own things.
Aiden had asked him about it, and he told him that he was busy doing research in the library. He had even invited Aiden to join him a few times, but after the horror experience Aiden had revising for the exam, Aiden would be lucky if he didn't develop a new phobia.
Oliver came close and patted Aiden on the shoulder as he asked, "How are you feeling about the exam?"
"Like shit," said Aiden in a grim tone.
Oliver didn't say much else, just gave him a light pat on the shoulder to console him, and then turned towards Raelia and asked, "Raelia, what about you? How are you feeling?"
Raelia placed her hand on her chin and thought for a moment.
"I'm not feeling too bad, actually. I actually felt quite good after the exam, so I think I scored pretty highly."
"And you, Oliver?"
"I think I did great as well."
Aiden looked at his two friends and just sighed.
He was the only anomaly here. The other two were extremely confident. He was the only one who didn't even want to look.
Hopefully, his score was somewhat decent so he could avoid embarrassing himself.
Soon, the trio appeared before the board that was filled to the brim with trainee names.
By the time they arrived, there was already a large crowd forming around the results that had been posted. But when the people saw that the group walking over contained both Raelia and Aiden, two people that had reached level 10 in the combat assessment, they quickly humbled themselves and moved aside.
Aiden and Raelia didn't even need to ask for them to do this, they just did it of their own volition.
This was simply the rule of the world of the gods; only the strong had the final say.
Such a thing like moving ahead in line might be nothing, and it really was. But if you encountered a person with a bad temper, you wouldn't even be able to plead your case before you were punched into orbit.
Although there were rules to prevent such behavior, the perpetrator being punished wouldn't heal your broken bones.
Besides, such behavior was subtly acknowledged after all.
Even the gods themselves can be quite temperamental, so how could they expect their mortal descendants to be much better?
As long as you didn't go too far, you would likely be able to get away with a lot of things, so nobody wanted to test how far people were willing to go.
The group walked forward and looked closer at the board to get a good look at the names on it. When Aiden took a look at the names topping the board, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the floor!
