257 Chapter 260 The Alchemy Exam
The next day.
Andrew and the others came to the main campus again. It was still the same as yesterday. There were fewer people on the campus, but there were still a lot of people.
There were few students because today was the alchemy test, and the first-grade students didn’t have this course.
The reason why there were so many people was that the exam was held in the alchemy classroom. There was only one classroom, and everyone had to gather together for the exam.
There was no clear rule in the exam, and there was no class division.
He decided to wait in line for the exam.
The exam began as soon as he entered the classroom. Anyway, the subjects of each class had already been announced.
“I thought I came early. I didn’t expect there were so many people here.” Andrew couldn’t help complaining.
“These people got up earlier than dogs.”
Refining gold was a very slow process.
The team moved very slowly.
It was not until noon that Andrew and the others arrived at the foot of the building.
He looked back and found that the line was longer than when he had just arrived.
He didn’t know how long they would wait.
“One group is ready. Four more!”
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the building.
Andrew took a closer look and saw Arci, who was the controller, coming out.
The moment Andrew saw him, he also saw Andrew..
His face suddenly froze.
Andrew couldn’t help laughing, “What a small world! We meet again.”
Andrew looked him up and down and asked, “Why is your face a little swollen? Ah? There seemed to be a few missing teeth.”
“What’s wrong? Did you fall last night?”
“You…”
Arci’s face turned blue. He was about to gnash his teeth, but the dislocated teeth were gone, so he gnash nothing.
Andrew smiled and ignored him. He walked into the building with Nason.
After entering the alchemy classroom, all the students were concentrating on alchemy.
The students would be separated from each other to prevent whispering and cheating.
But such a seat also caused a sharp decrease in the number of people who could take the examination every time, which was also the reason why there was such a long queue outside.
“Coming. Over there. Speed up.”
As soon as they entered the room, Chuck came up and asked Andrew and the others to get ready.
“Arci, go to supervise the examination,” Chuck shouted fiercely.
There were only six alchemy teachers in the school.
Every time over one hundred people were in the exam, they couldn’t be supervised by their masters alone.
Therefore, the middle-level officials in charge of the distribution also needed to be responsible for supervising the students during the exam if they cheated.
Every four students were in a group, and a middle-level official was in charge of supervising them. After the group was over, they would ask four people to come in.
On the other hand, Arci was a middle-level official in charge of supervising Andrew.
He gave Andrew a bad look as soon as he came in.
Andrew didn’t take it seriously.
Andrew thought he was more ridiculous than killing him.
‘You tried your best to kill me, but you failed. It’s ridiculous.’
Just like this time.
As soon as Andrew stepped onto the stage, he found that his materials had been changed.
Demon core had already been shaped.
If they went into the pot again, there would be an explosion.
Andrew rolled his eyes.
‘Oh, no. Are you doing this again?’
Not only the demon core.
The silver ingot looked fine, but Andrew felt something was wrong as soon as he picked it up.
The density was 0.7% higher, and the surface was slightly rough.
Someone added some ceramic powder in the process of purification.
This would double the melting point of the secret silver and make it difficult to dissolve.
The color of the magic crystal was dim, so it must have extracted a lot of magic power.
More or less, someone had tampered with other materials of the demon core.
“What’s wrong, Andrew? If you don’t start now, it’s too late.”
Arci said suddenly.
Andrew looked up at his watch.
Five minutes had passed.
In the alchemy test, familiarity with the process was also very important.
So the time for the exam was limited. No matter how skilled he was, there were only ten minutes left.
Andrew glared at Arci, “You are good at acting.”
Arci was stunned and then showed a cruel smile. “Hey, hey, Andrew, what are you talking about?”
“Do you want to use the excuse that your materials were changed?”
“I think it’s better for you to focus on your exam than to play tricks.”
When the students around heard this, they roughly understood what it meant.
It was well known that Arci and Andrew didn’t get along well with each other.
Especially yesterday, when Andrew was at a disadvantage in his mid-term exam, Arci mocked him.
Better an open enemy than a false friend.
No matter how capable Andrew was, he would suffer a lot if he offended Arci, the invigilator.
Well, he could do nothing now.
The students around all looked at Andrew with sympathy. They could do nothing to help him.
Now he must have zero scores on the exam.
Even if he got a full score in the first three tests and a zero score in the alchemy test, his final score could only be a little higher than the pass line.
It would be great if he could stay in his original class, let alone be promoted.
Of course, he was supposed to be in D class, so there was no way to lower his class. To think of the benefits, at least he would not have the pressure to lower his class.
However, when everyone thought Andrew and Nason had no choice.
The two of them looked at each other.
“Is that okay?” Andrew asked.
Nason smiled and said, “Take care of yourself.”
After saying that, the two of them reached out their hands at the same time, unbuttoned the bags, and spread out all the materials on the table.
They lit the fire and put it on the pot in one go.
The two of them seemed to have rehearsed, and their movements were completely overlapped.
Even the flames on the stove could be perfectly identical.
“This is…”
Arci was stunned.
Andrew and Nason picked up the demon cores.
What’s this?
Arci was shocked.
What did they want? They knew that the demon cores had already been shaped, and if they put it in the pot two more times, it would explode. Were they still going to do it?
How stupid they were!
The demon cores used in the exam were the mid-rank demon cores, and the explosive power was one hundred times stronger than the low-rank demon cores.
No matter how strong they were, if they were blown up at zero distance, they would be either dead or disabled.
Arci cursed the two idiots in his heart and took two steps back subconsciously, ready to appreciate the beautiful scenery that the two of them were blown up.
However, the next second, another unbelievable scene appeared.
The shaped demon cores didn’t explode when they were shaped two times in the pot.
On the contrary, it was still slowly melting.
Moreover, the two of them were both like this.
Arci couldn’t believe his eyes.
How could it be possible?
Why didn’t the explosion happen? How did they manage to shape for two times?
Not far away, when Chuck saw this scene, he was also stunned, but soon regained his composure. He also showed a trace of appreciation for the two of them.
‘I see. I knew these two were extraordinary people. I didn’t expect that they did it.’
This was a skill that only a top-level alchemist could achieve.
Two times refining!
