Chapter 114: Irregular License Exam (3)
Everyone was taken aback by what the examiner said since not a single person had expected him to say this.
The staff members even had awkward looks on their faces since they hadn't discovered the real cause of what happened yet, but the examiner was already saying that this F Ranker had destroyed the dummy.
If that was the case, wasn't that a slap to their Awakener Association's face?
I couldn't help being surprised since I had expected something much more accusatory, but since he was acting friendly…there was no reason not to go along with it.
I just simply said in a calm voice, "Does that mean I pass?"
The examiner seemed surprised to hear this, but then he said with a wide smile, "If you don't pass, then can anyone else here pass? Of course you pass."
When they heard this, all of the other people here to take the exam couldn't help revealing ugly expressions.
The examiner could have worded it much better, but the way he said it basically made it seem like they couldn't compare to this F Ranker.
Many of the people here were E Rankers or even D Rankers, but now that the examiner had said that they couldn't compare to this F Ranker, it really hurt their pride.
In their minds, F Rankers were the very bottom of the ladder, the weakest of the weakest. To say that a F Ranker was better than them was a clear insult which they couldn't tolerate.
So after a moment of silence, someone said, "Isn't it just luck that he encountered this broken dummy?"
That single sentence was like a stone dropped into a calm lake.
As soon as the others heard this, their minds started to be corrupted by it like ripples on the water.
"That's right! It should be nothing more than a simple malfunction that caused the dummy to break. There's no way that this F Ranker would be able to destroy a dummy like this."
"Che, if I was up a bit sooner, I would have been able to be this lucky as well."
"Shh, don't say that. Didn't you hear him earlier trying to act cool? He's clearly just taking advantage of this situation."
"I say that we kick him out right now! There's no place for someone like him!"
The voices were getting louder and louder, as well as having stronger and stronger opinions.
It was clear that the crowd had been incited because of what the examiner had said and was getting more and more worked up.
Finally, the examiner gave a snort and said, "You really think that this is it? Do you really look down on our Awakener Association this much that we wouldn't be able to recognize a simple malfunction? Not to mention, in the first place, do you really think that our specially made dummies would malfunction?"
The examiner turned to the crowd with cold eyes and said, "Are you done slandering our Awakener Association."
The moment that the examiner released his pressure on the crowd, everyone fell silent.
I also couldn't help giving a gulp when I felt this pressure.
I had faced the pressure from many high ranking Awakeners before, so I could tell that this examiner was at least a B Ranker…or maybe even an A Ranker.
This was definitely not someone that a bunch of D and E Rankers could offend.
So there was an awkward silence that fell over this crowd as no one could say anything.
That is until one D Ranker bit the bullet and came forward to speak.
This D Ranker pointed at the sword in Lin Fan's hand and said, "That sword is clearly a magic weapon. Even if he was able to destroy the dummy, it isn't his own power and the power of his equipment. How can you say that this is a fair judgement?"
When he said this, everyone turned to look at the sword in Lin Fan's hand.
This D Ranker was right, they could feel the faint magic energy fluctuations coming from the sword in his hand showing that this was indeed a magic weapon.
When they sensed this, they all let out a secret sigh of relief.
That's right, how could a F Ranker possibly show that kind of power?
It was only possible if there was something external helping him, like this magic sword.
So they immediately started to latch onto this idea.
"A magic sword? Isn't this some rich kid who came out to have fun?"
"This rich kid can do whatever he wants as long as he has his family's money buying good equipment for him while we're all out here trying all we can to rise up. This really isn't fair."
"Che, if I could get my hands on a magic weapon or two, I wouldn't be stuck where I am now…"
Once again, the murmurs of the crowd rang out as they all started criticizing Lin Fan.
The examiner just watched them go on while listening to them until he finally gave a sigh and said, "What a bunch of fools. You can't even see something as simple as this and you come to take this exam. This is a waste of time."
The moment that he said this, everyone once again fell silent with ugly expressions on their faces.
This time, the examiner didn't hold back his disdain for them and openly mocked them like this.
How could they not be angry hearing this?
There were some that wanted to complain since they had proper justification, but they didn't get a chance as the examiner quickly spoke again.
"If you even had eyes, you would have been able to see that there were no extra energy fluctuations that came from the sword when he swung it. So how could he have activated that magic weapon during that swing? This is something even an idiot would be able to see." The examiner said in a voice that was just oozing disdain at this point.
