Chapter 150: The Only Relative Left
The written test was much more complicated than Nemo thought.
The written test was preceded by an identity verification. It turned out that Jesse Dylan did have some uses— The letter of introduction was verified and inspected more than a dozen times by various means, and the inspector even contacted the bishop who signed it himself. Before getting the “pass” answer, the two of them were sweating bullets and almost sheepishly began to plan their escape.
The next day, they were truly qualified to participate in the written exam. Participants weren’t allowed to bring any items. Even the ink and quill pens were prepared by Clementine Academy itself.
Nemo stared at his pseudonym “Nemo Murkos White” above his seat and felt nervous for the first time.
If anything, Nemo guessed that it would take a lot of time to remember such an unlucky name. This was completely Ann’s idea…
“No one can remember such a long name and it wouldn’t seem suspicious for Oliver to call you ‘Nemo’.” The female warrior patted him on the shoulder and suggested sincerely. “As for Oliver… The name ‘Oliver’ shouldn’t matter. After all, in a place like Alban, there’s at least one Oliver among ten men, and if you’re lucky, there’ll be at least two here. For your last name, we’ll have to choose one that both of you can respond to… Well, since our captain likes bones so much…” She glanced at the skeleton helmet and the Rest in Peace.
Oliver sadly became “Oliver Borne”.
Right now, Oliver was sitting not far from him biting the end of the quill pen with his lips. His expression was a little empty. Nemo actually felt a little relief, even though their current situation wasn’t easy. The plan to enter the Clementine Academy still allowed Oliver to revert back to how he used to be.
The young people who came to participate in the written test sat down in the lobby. Nemo glanced around roughly. The people around him were dressed in ordinary clothes. Half of the bright and shiny young people couldn’t be seen at the moment. He surmised this was the examination room provided for commoners.
