Chapter 36: Larven's "Big Three" Makes Their First Trial

First day of the first batch of the second round of Larven entrance examination.

Dozens of long tables are neatly arranged in the largest hall on the first floor of the Examination Center.

On each long table, there are twenty projections arranged in a row, transmitting back the images of the candidates captured by the detection eye.

The second round of exams is more rigorous than the written exams, and there will be a detecting eye following each candidate throughout the entire process.

Except for designated locations where filming is not allowed to take place to protect privacy, the invigilator will be paying attention to you at other times.

There is also an inspection team composed of senior professors in the hall. They are responsible for making judgments on situations that the invigilator cannot determine, recording and commenting on some of the candidates' highlights, and compiling a "candidate report".

This report will also become a channel for most lecturers to understand the new batch of students.

Two hours after the exam officially began, the candidates had just completed their professional certification, found their teammates they had agreed to meet before the exam, and formed a team to go to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the commission.

So far, no special behavior of the candidates has been found.

Margaret sat at the table somewhat bored. Invigilation was a very tiring job, unlike the written test where one could slack off.

There are three people working in shifts at each invigilation station, and each shift is 4 hours. If it goes any longer, you will feel dizzy.

Moreover, there was no candidate she wanted to pay attention to in this round of exams, and Jia Xiu was in the last batch.

She had no doubt that Jia Xiu could pass this round. With his self-taught "General Knowledge of the Undead", he was able to defeat Bubu. It was just a dungeon, and he could easily conquer it.

Sitting dejectedly in the chair, Margaret now even hoped that a candidate would cheat and bring some fun to these boring hours.

At this moment, footsteps were heard behind me.

Margaret shuddered, sensing danger!

The inspection team is here.

She immediately sat up straight, looking completely focused on the exam.

The senior teachers in the inspection team were talking about the performance of the first batch of candidates.

"Why are young kids so reckless these days? I just saw someone take the most difficult commission and then break into the dungeon on their own."

"What's the result?" asked another professor.

"I failed to avoid the first trap and my leg was pinched. I'm calling for help now. If no other candidates had gone there, I'd probably have to give up soon."

"If you ask me, there are other candidates who won't be saved no matter where they go. Why add a competitor to yourself? Letting them experience the cruelty of real competition is also the purpose of arranging this exam."

The inspection team was chatting and stopped at Margaret and began to pay attention to the twenty candidates.

Facts have proven that even if you grow up and become a teacher, you will still feel nervous when a group of big guys are standing behind you and staring at you.

Margaret stood very straight, looking very serious.

The professors' discussion could be heard again from behind.

"This team is pretty good. They're about to complete their first mission. They should be the fastest, right?"

"No, the fastest one is Thomas."

"Thomas? The one from the Reinhardt family?"

Margaret's ears twitched when she heard the surname. The Reinhardt family was one of the top nobles in the Iris Kingdom.

There are not many families in the kingdom more powerful than Margaret's, and the Reinhard family is one of them.

More importantly, her family and the Reinhard family have a bad relationship and have had many grievances.

So she was very curious about the exam results of this man named Thomas.

"It's him, the Reinhardt kid. He organized an adventure group from the candidates in such a short time, dividing them into several teams based on their professions and skill levels. He was in charge of allocating resources and arranging commissions. The team he led also quickly completed the second-tier difficulty commissions."

"It looks like he'll be the first in this exam."

"Yes, he's strong, talented, and has leadership skills. He's a good prospect."

The second test was graded based on the total amount earned after three days and the time it took to reach the 30-kronor mark.

Thomas leads a large number of people, which means he has access to more resources. Coupled with his own strong strength, he is indeed a strong contender for the first place.

Margaret was a little unhappy when she heard the teachers in the inspection team praising Thomas so much.

The mood of their family members is negatively correlated with the situation of the Reinhard family members.

Wait, wait until Jia Xiu comes in the third batch, and let you see what a true genius is.

Margaret thought to herself. Just then, a professor pointed to the projection on Margaret's desk and said, "This child is good. Since she has decided to go on an adventure alone, she should rely on her keen observation skills to discover rare treasures hidden in the shadows."

In the picture, a candidate is in a secret room with a golden treasure chest in front of him, but he does not seem too excited. He is still looking around and observing the environment.

"Not bad, really good."

The professor continued to praise.

"Young man, you're so calm even after discovering a hidden treasure chest. You know how to observe the environment for other traps. You're quite shrewd."

"That, Professor."

Margaret whispered.

"what happened?"

"This candidate got lost and ended up in the secret room. He was here twenty minutes ago, and this is his fourth time coming back here. So don't get excited. Just observe and look for the exit."

After Margaret finished her explanation, the professor fell silent. One could still hear the other members of the inspection team trying hard to hold back their laughter, with air leaking from their lips.

The professor was eager to hide his embarrassment and wanted to change the subject immediately.

Suddenly, he noticed that another candidate in this group behaved very differently.

"What is that candidate doing? Why is she still reading in the Adventurer's Guild? Anyone who has accepted a junior commission should be back to hand in the task by now."

Everyone looked at the candidate.

A thin, weak, short girl, at first glance you would think she is a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

She sat peacefully in the association, reading a book leisurely, and the coat provided by the college was still missing.

"This candidate gave up?"

"That shouldn't be it," Margaret said, "She's Mia."

"She's Mia, the one who wrote the paper for me?" A teacher immediately responded.

Mia's essay writing service is well-known in Larven.

"She probably has her own plans."

"And her coat?"

"Sold it," replied Margaret.

"Sell it? Even if we sell all the supplies we provided, it would only bring in 5 crowns at most, and that's on the top of the money. There's no way you can pass the exam like that."

"She used the money from selling her coat to buy paper and pens, rent tables and chairs, and also bought a banner."

"Banner?" The teachers in the inspection team had no idea what Mia was going to do.

……

At this time, in the phantom world.

Mia saw that the first batch of candidates who had completed their commissions were coming back one after another outside the association. She stood up and closed the book.

It's time to implement Boss Jia Xiu's tactics.

She came to the gate of the association, where the tables and chairs she rented were placed on the path that candidates had to take to hand in their tasks.

I picked up some grass from the roadside, put it together, dipped it in ink, used it as a brush, and started writing on the banner.

"Mia Tax Consulting".

After finishing writing, he stood up and shouted at the top of his voice to the returning candidates.

"Are you still worried about the 30% commission from the Adventurer's Guild? Are you still suffering from the 5% income tax collected by the city lords? Come to Mia Tax Consulting and we will help you easily solve all of the above problems and make your exam process smoother. Mia Tax Consulting, fighting for every crown for you!"

After the commercial, Mia smiled slightly.

Just as Boss Jia Xiu taught us, making money through entrustment does not necessarily mean making money from entrustment.

Keen observation and innovative thinking, this must be the intention of the question-setting group.

……

In the examination center, in front of Margaret's seat, the members of the inspection team looked at Mia's operation, their eyes widened and their eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"What are you doing?"
