Chapter 117 Preparation for exams

Apollo's Pov

How should I say this, I thought destroying the Monastery would give me some free time to plan about my brother's and sister's wonderful school journey. However right after the problems with the monastery ended our attention got snatched away by the exams, and it's not even that hard.

I am not being arrogant or whatsoever but it's the truth. My classmates' stats might be weaker at first but they have improved a lot since their time in the tower.

Those who are afraid to take up a sword soon try to learn the power of the blade, while those who are afraid of violence, entered the world of new possibilities. The reason why they are the way they were when I met them, was because fear and trauma were still engraved on their hearts.

They might appear fine but I know when I first met them, they were afraid of the things that could remind them of the past. Fortunately, we all did our best to improve, we became close to each other until we let go of our worries and became who we are right now.

I am certain we will be fine after all, before the incident with the Monastery, my classmates were heirs of their own clan or were trained for a certain purpose. Examples are Samael in the Church of Juanfonso, Keith in the Frostfang Tribe, Aaron at Hexzon village, and Casper at the Santiago Fort. Matilda was also the same as her brother since he was a high-ranking soldier.

Niko is a member of a knight family while Agnes is a literal princess. Mckenzie is a student of a baron while Blair is a child from Longfalls, one that is known for their good use of magic. Also, the others have gained abilities through different means. Although those means are a bit traumatic.

"I can't handle this!"

"Calm down Mckenzie"

My monologue stopped when I heard Mckenzie's complaint.

"I can't handle this! Why do we have to learn history!"

Maybe I should take back what I said earlier. Maybe it isn't as easy as I thought. It might be harder than I initially expected.

Most of my classmates have subjects they excel in and also have those they need more improvements to make, take Mckenzie for example.

"I can't even remember a single capital from the nearby kingdoms, and now we have to mark them on a map?"

He continues to complain while holding a review book made by our subject professor.

"Well, it seems like we are going to be busy" I could only say while lifting my cup of tea.

It was Sunday and Professor Adolfo dropping such a bomb on us made us all eager to pass the exam.

"However why do they need a tournament"

Arabella voiced her question which was something that's been bugging us. Usually, tournaments are held during the foundation day of the academy, so why do they suddenly have this?

"I wanted to know that as well"

Alya weakly said while dropping the book in her hand.

"And yet our angelic professor didn't give us any clue and just stormed off after saying about the tournament thingy"

If Alya felt weak Matilda on the other hand felt annoyed.

"Well at least he gave us all the review books our subject professors wanted to give us"

Jillian spoke trying to calm her annoyed friend.

"Hey Keith help me out I can't understand this question"

Braiden then approaches Keith's table holding a worksheet given by one of their professors.

"Okay let me see.....its inscriptions, I see you are writing it wrong, this character needs to be written like this"

Keith then proceeded to rewrite what Braden did which made the latter follow him.

Currently, our subjects only let us practice the basics and not the actual stuff. I kept on wondering if that would really help us. For example one of our subjects Magic and Creation 1, aside from spell casting, it simply taught us to memorize and perfectly write the rune characters that would later be used in scroll-making.

We barely touched the topic and the same goes with our subject beastmology, they only taught us the background of each beast but never let us use the simulators.

[You are worried]

"I just fear we are being left behind"

[You should trust the process Creator]

"I hope so"

"Argh!! Who the hell is Artemis!"

I heard another complaint from Mckenzie making me approach him.

"Artemis is one of the five pillars who help build the empire"

"Five pillars?"

"Yes, back at the Age of Extinction five people became the pillars of humanity's survival, namely Thor Obsidianvale, Cedar Arcanebane, Isaac Silvercrest, Artemis Lionheart and Julius Von Celestio"

My friend was a bit taken aback by my words, it seems he is really not paying attention to class.

[Maybe he is just bad at history]

"Perhaps"

"Sorry, Apollo didn't know your ancestor was her. I didn't really mean what I said a while ago"

"It's okay you were frustrated so you just randomly rant about what confuses you"

Mckenzie was a bit embarrassed knowing what I said was right.

"As I was saying a while ago these five pillars made way for humanity to survive after that they reestablished kingdoms and later on made the empire. That is what roughly happened at the Age of Heroes"

"Age of Heroes?"

Samael suddenly butted in as those words must have triggered something.

"Wasn't the Age of Heroes part of the three early ages of Bunag?"

He asked so I quickly answered.

"That depends on what book you are looking at other authors name the Age of Heroes as the Age of Gods since it is the time when Gods landed on Bunag"

"Wait what do you mean by early ages of Bunag?"

Mackenzie now became confused hearing new things that made his memorizing messed up.

I couldn't help but chuckle however his expression wasn't really good so I explained it to him. "You see what I said a while ago is the recorded history according to the church. The history of the empire is different from the churches they are separate so you don't have to confuse yourself with it"

"Really?"

"Yeah just focus on the empire's history since that's what we tackle in the entire Quarter"

"Thanks"

"Welcome"

"Hey Apollo, I need a little help about this term, do you know about this?"

Vesta suddenly asked while Samael grabbed his books to continue his review. Happily, I entertained her questions and the ones I received later.

Our weekend was full of work and we didn't get enough rest, even I who had the highest stats among us got so tired.

[It seems you haven't fully recovered yet]

"Yeah it seems so"

It was Monday and we slowly dragged our bodies into the lecture room only to see our professor calmly writing something on the board.

"Good morning miss Gelda"

"Morning"

"Professor you are early today"

Niko commented while giving a thumbs up to the professor. Agnes on the other hand just drags him in the corner making sure he will become quiet.

"Everyone settle down because I will give you all the procedures and mechanics of the exam"

"Mechanics?"

With just one word I felt like our so-called written exam won't be that simple.

"To tell you all the truth I am a bit confused as to why we are doing this type of exam but I hope it helps everyone"

Our professor's words made me confirm my thoughts.

"Now I wonder what gimmick is this" I couldn't help but grin as our professor began her explanation.

"Usually my subject is one of those that are evaluated through written exams but now it will be different, they made a change to make sure the students would truly understand their lessons"

Then she wrote something on the broad, a title of something I didn't understand. Is this a book or something? Do we need to review using this as a reference? I wondered, and then the professor began to explain.

The word Empire Fights was written

"This my students is the name of your exam"

"Huh?"

"Exams have names?"

"I thought we only need to know the type of exams?"

I could hear McKenzie's bewildered reaction along with some of the boy's comments.

"I don't know who made this name but let's skip that part"

Then her next words made me suddenly excited

"Nice, it seems this new type is exam is entertaining"

However opposite to my enthusiastic reaction Meckenzie looked pale but at the same time excited. No, it seems he doesn't know what reaction he should do.

After that announcement, the class ended with our professor giving us a detailed review of our previous lessons, she even highlighted some parts for us. Time went on and the class ended.

"Ahhhhh!"

I heard a shout from Mckenzie since he was frustrated and wanted to vent his frustration.

"Don't worry buddy we got you"

"Thanks"

Currently, we are inside the ruined temple and hopefully, our reviewing will help us pass.
