Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 117 Practical Exam And Teammate (Part 1)

A Few days passed by since Evan returned to the academy.

He gave black liquid and the phone of Carlos to Valery.

When he gave Carlos's phone and the black liquid he didn't forget to remind her, about the cores.

During these days Evan stayed in the academy and didn't go out.

The reason he didn't go out was because he wanted to relax a bit and the month was about to end.

Previously Elena told him that the practical exam will be held next month. And since the month was about to end he stayed in the academy.

He attend the classes at the academy and enjoyed these few days.

Today was the last day of the month, and Evan attend the class just like before. But after the class ended Elena stopped all the students from leaving.

Everyone knew the practical exams are coming, so they were quite excited when Elena stopped them after the class ended.

Seeing everyone were looking at her curiously Elena smiled and nodded her head,

"I have news about your practical exams"

'So they finally decided on our practical exam' Evan thought and waited for her to continue.

Normally in previous years' practical exams, they were given tasks like exterminating some bandits groups that rob people in the wilderness, clearing a dungeon, killing some corrupt people of the city that are abusing their authorities, or killing all the monsters in a certain area.

'I hope it will be something like exterminating a group of the bandit, I can get their loot after killing them' Evan thought with some anticipation.

He still remembered how he get a big loot from the bandit group that tried to kill him during his first mission.

"This time you will have to work in a team of two in the exam" Elena spoke, and the eyes of Evan twitched.

"This time your exam is completely different than before, this time your practical exam will be held using VRs," Elena said and looked at the expressions of the students.

Most of the students were confused while some visibly sighed in relief because although you receive your task according to your strength there is still a chance of dying during practical exams.

While some were confused and some were happy Evan was petrified.

His dream of killing bandits and looting them has gone to waste.

He was actually thinking that even if they don't get a task like killing bandits, he will still be able to kill some monsters during the exams and will gather more cores for himself.

Evan was not the only one some other students were also frowning.

Practical exam is actually a good chance for them to get resources.

Because of its wide network, the academy knows about many bandits' hideouts, and monster dens.

During the exam, the academy will tell its students about the location of the bandits' hideout, and the monster dens to exterminate them.

After completing the mission they can get the loot of the bandits, or cores from the monsters they had killed in the monster dens.

Seeing some of the students were frowning Elena said, "you don't have to worry about not getting anything during the practical exam, all the students who will perform well in this exam will receive generous rewards from the academy"

"I can't tell you guys about the reward currently, but trust me you will not be disappointed by them"

Hearing Elena everyone including Evan feels a little better.

He thought he won't be able to get anything from this practical exam.

"The exam will be held after one week. You will receive the details of the exam on your phone after a few hours" Elena said and then took out a box.

"Since you will have to work in teams let's find out who will be your teammate during the exam," Elena said after taking out the box.

The box was filled with small paper chits and Evan can guess what were those papers.

"You don't have to find your teammates by yourself, it will be decided by luck. There are eighty-eight chits in the box, with numbers one to forty-four written on them. Since there are eighty-eight students in the class every one of you picks up one chit, and the person who will get the same number chit as you will be your teammate"

'I just hope I won't get an as*hole as a teammate' Evan thought and looked around him.

He doesn't have a good relationship with any of his classmates. He doesn't even know the name of most of the students.

After saying that Elena walked towards the students while holding the box.

Every student picked up a chit from the box and looked at their number.

No one said anything after taking the chit and waited for Elena to give everyone a chit.

After some time Elena arrived before Evan who once again tried to scam the goddess of luck saying he will donate one million credits to her temple and picked up his chit.

Elena walked towards other students after Evan picked up his chit. He opened the chit and looked at its number.

"11" Evan was surprised when he saw the number eleven.

"Some people say double numbers are lucky. Maybe I will get a good teammate" Evan muttered after seeing his number.

After three minutes Elena finished giving chits and returned to her position.

"All right, now that all of you have received your chits you can find your teammates," Elena said after returning to her position.

"I have number 36" the student who was sitting at the front stood up and said.

Soon all the students started to show their numbers, by lifting their chits in the air.

Evan looked around him to find number eleven.

"Number eleven, number eleven, where is my lucky teammate" Evan muttered while looking around.

Suddenly he saw the chit with the number eleven written on it.

"There it is," Evan said and looked at the person who was holding the chit, but he was stunned when he saw the person who was holding the chit.

The person who was holding the number eleven chit was also stunned after seeing Evan holding the same number chit.

'The goddess of luck is truly a bi*ch' Evan cursed in his heart after seeing who was his teammate.
