Chapter 123 - The Written Test
With that short but actioned introduction, all the guys settled down in the seats quietly.
I saw the pale guy, sighing as if a great burden got lifted up his head.
What was that?... was he anxious?
Nah, that can't be it. The guy just whooped the asses of three idiots who were obviously physically better than him and yet he does that.
Either he's not as he acts or he's too lazy enough to face this reality, probably the second one.
Valko nodded as he saw the pin drop silence in the classroom and gave a look to his friend. Mathew nodded and came forward as he backed away and said, "As you all know, the Chancion Competition is divided into three parts."
"Written, Evaluation and your nightmare, the final fight."
"This is the first section of the competition which is the written exam. We will be the proctors to your group until the end of the written exam." Mathew then lift up a paper and waved it in front of us.
"You will each be given a set of papers where there will automatically be questions in. You just have to fill up the answer and finish the test in the given time, which is 2 hours." Mathew's good looking smile vanished immediately, "Within this given time, if any of us proctors sees you talking, looking, cheating or doing anything that is not to our liking than you will be eliminated from the exam immediately."
"And those who want to resist our judgement will face the same… action as this three." He pointed to the unconscious idiots on the floor. "Well than, any questions?"
To my surprise, someone actually lift his hand. It was a scrawny boy who had glasses on him. Just looking at him you could tell he was the tattle tale type.
"Yes?"
"Mr. Proctor."
"You can call me, Mathew."
"Well Mathew," The guy positioned his glasses up, "What happens if someone was cheating off us but you didn't see it. Can we tell it to you even though you positioned the rule about no talking?"
Mathew was about to speak but Valko interrupted him, "No!"
"What!" The guy obviously confused asked.
"As Mathew said before, you can't speak when the exam starts, no matter what."
"Even if someone cheats off us."
"Even if someone cheats off you."
Gasps rang through the room as I smiled.
'Damn it feels good to know what's actually happening.'
Another guy lifted his hand and said, "So if we had a medical emergency we still can't say anything?"
"No. How many times do I have to tell you brats… No talking at the exam. It's as simple as that, why is it so hard for you dimwits to understand." Valko said and instead of being angry the people became confused.
Valko sighed and quietly cursed under his breath before looking up, "Let me make this clear for all of you. NONE OF YOU ARE GOING TO WIN THE COMPETITION!"
"Huh!"
"Valko, we shouldn't-"
"No, they need to know." Valko pushed off his friend's hand as he continued, "What do you half-brain, lizard skinned, poor bastards think? Do you actually believe that you have a chance to win this competition?"
"Never in your goddamn life."
"This thing was built in a way that only the number one of the whole population in this kingdom has a chance of winning this thing." Valko smiled cruelly, "And you lots are at the end of it.
The other people started to ramble and scream cuss words to the guy but he continued.
"The only reason you're here is because… you dream. You dream that you will win this thing and get the noble lifestyle with a money making machine and a bitch that'll pop you so good, right?"
"But deep down, all of you know that you've already lost."
Nobody said anything at that. They all quietly looked down at their desk and thought hard about his words.
They were harsh but indeed they were the truth.
"I know that my words are harsh," Valko's face looked tired, "But what can ya do about it when the world's like this."
Some time went by before I lift up my hand at the quiet atmosphere.
Valko seeing that snorted and went back but Mathew stepped forward.
"Do you have a question?"
"No, not really." I shake my head, "Can you give me the paper already, the times passing by."
Instantly at my words everybody looked at me like I was insane, "What! Can't you see that time for the exam has already started."
Then they quickly looked at the clock and it was already past 12'O clock, which was the time the exam should have started.
"Oh, look at that. I didn't notice the exam had already began."
"!!!"
A chord struck everyone's head as they looked at the smug look of Valko in anger. Then as the paper came to them, they quickly read it and started writing on it.
This exam wasn't just to check their knowledge but also to check if their mental stability was good enough and I'm sure by this point I had checked that mark.
Even with that, I had to finish this test. But how was I going to finish it, when the questions were sooo easy and yet so bizarre.

Why did Lord Hackel's wife cheated on him with his best friend and later on with his stable boy?
This were the questions, that made me question my own reality.
Some were so easy that finishing them were child's play while some were so idiotic that history itself became a comedy book.
Just like that, time went by and I only sat there waiting for the exam time to finish. Valko glanced at my direction multiple times and shook his head. Probably thinking that a potential guy was thwarted by the limits of the brain.
As the clock struck two thirty, I easily gave up my answer as the others groaned for more time and left.
What do you think?
