Chapter 20: Entrance Exam[2]
The next day, I arrived at the academy just as the first light broke over the city.
Nyx was back in his card form. Pets weren’t allowed inside the exam hall, summoned or not. And while everyone else saw him as a harmless companion, I couldn’t risk any trouble on the first trial.
Having ringed beasts as pets was common in this world. If I really wanted to, I could’ve passed him off as one and brought him into the academy grounds without raising suspicion. But the exam hall had rules. No exceptions.
Yesterday, I officially registered my weapon-grimoire.
There was no going back now.
As for the written test?
I had studied everything I could get my hands on. With my psychic abilities, it was almost unfair. Information stuck in my head like glue. Not quite photographic memory, but close enough.
"Let me in. I’ll ace this dumb thing for you," Nyx muttered from inside his card, his voice echoing in my head.
Being a psychic-type, he could still talk despite being in the card form. Unfortunately.
"You’d eat the paper."
"It’s called performance art."
