Chapter 287: Exam
Corvus City, Kingdom of Valcrez
Laura held her breath as she walked up to the building where the Civil Service Exams were going to be held. Despite everything that she said about her confidence in passing or even taking the exams, a part of her still felt a bit of anxiety of somehow failing the exams themselves. After all, nothing was certain in life, and for all she knew, the days of studying she did might not even show up in the exams at all.
"And all done in a single day too," she mumbled to herself as she prepared herself for the task at hand. "Five levels... five exams to ace..."
Mathematics, Laws, Ethics, Accounting, and Urban Planning. These were the five subjects that she had to study before taking the exams. Each level constituted a single subject, and each exam was different from the other, making sure that only the best of the best would be able to pass, let alone ace the exams.
Nodding to herself, Laura stepped foot in the building, her courage rising as she made her way to her assigned rooms. The first would be Mathematics, and she was sure as hell that she’d be able to pass that exam with flying colors.
’Nothing but a bit of number crunching to start the day,’ she inwardly chuckled to herself. ’It’s practically the same with Accounting, so those two exams would be easy.’
The moment she entered her designated room, she sat down on her chair and flipped the stack of papers that was face down in front of her. Immediately, she couldn’t help but smirk as she realized that The Mathematics test was just what she expected.
With a confident grin, she grabbed her quill and began filling out the questions, numbers flying through her head as she solved one problem after another. Before she even knew it, she was done before the allotted one hour for the exam was even over.
’Easy enough,’ Laura smugly thought to herself as she relaxed. ’That’s one test down. Onto the Laws part of the exams...’
