The Conquerors Path

Chapter 601-The Exams

ʼGuess that did the stuff...ʼ

I thought as I sat on the edge of a bench, my eyes trailing at all the students come and go. Itʼs the next day after my lustful tryst with Lora; she is still at the academy and will be staying for about a week, which means a week of the two of us enjoying each other in unthinkable ways.

ʼThough she was very hot when she lost herself.ʼ

Her cold personality took a 180-degree flip after we had started. Heck, I have the very sneaky suspicion that she just wants to be get pregnant now and here and she is even begging for it. But somehow, I was able to hold that off for now.

But that is not the end of the problems for me; lots of other issues lay for me to deal with, ranging from going hunting with Carmel for her sisterʼs antidote, spending time with Lora, spending ʼmeetingʼ times with Olivia, planning with my family to keep Olivia at bay, planning with Lora to keep Nora at bay.

Then I have several other invitations from others, with Angelina seemingly wanting to discuss with me to strengthen our faction bonds, Marlene and Catherine asking for meeting times, either just spending time with me or to one-up the other.

Then there are calls from other girls too; Lanora wanting to spend some musical time together, Nathalia bringing up her confidence to ask me out to give me her creation, Isabella seemingly wanting to spend some time with me to get to know me, probably to create a situation to manipulate or control me.

Then there is the usual talk with Scarlet; even though she is far away and we are on a ʼbreak,ʼ she still makes time to contact me or to get to know me or basically try to enter my life again. Though the good thing is she isnʼt trying to jump too much into my life; plus, her absence is also keeping Celestina at bay.

The two of them trying to get stronger to protect me, the future ʼheroʼ that shall have a very hard future, thus giving me some breathing room from them. But still, there are others too; thereʼs the pumped-up Ella seemingly planning to create some sort of situation to get into my good books. She is calling to book some time with me under the pretense of a rematch.

There is also the hidden Emily, one whose schemes at me havenʼt worked till now and is still trying now. I gotta handle her soon because if it goes like this, she will explode and do something that will be hard for me to deal with.

Then there is the even more elusive Sabrina, slowly biding her time to uncover everything about me. That smart mind of hers is working overtime to uncover everything about me. After all, to a smart woman, that can uncover everything, a mystery she canʼt uncover is a very delicious dish that she canʼt get rid of.

Moreover, I have the ʼdateʼ I have to deal with, one that I requested from her. So overall, there are a lot of girls to deal with and so little time to do so.

Now taking out the girls, I have another different issue affecting the world as a whole. For example, the war that the beastmen want to unleash slowly itching to its opening, the dark side planning to bring me and Leonard down like rabid beasts, then some several issues here and there.

ʼI also have to deal with back in the church and stuff.ʼ

Above that, there is the special Zora; her awakening is coming near too. That will require some high-level focus on me to flow through it. Even above that, there are some other issues I have to deal with.

ʼNot to mention that I someone have to seduce one of the creation Goddess.ʼ

Overall, my life is as busy as it can be. Though I cannot complain that much, after all, once everything will be done with and ends in the way I want, I have eternity to live a very leisurely life in front of me. Thus, I stood up from where I sat, my eyes trailing the logʼs new movement as I headed to one of the most challenging parts of any educational institution, one hated by the majority of students across all realities...

The exams...

...

The exams conducted in the academy are very rigid and yet at the same time flexible, quite a contradictory way to do it but it still works. The exam level and procedures are set differently for each yearʼs class, the difficulty also increases with each level too.

Though as every exam, the exams in the Babylon Academy still consist of the written part. This being consisting of several different levels, depending on your rank, your profession, your future position, and more.

Once you reach my level of year, these questions and exams will move to match your personal level. This is to indicate towards an extreme level of teaching from all the teachers. The exam would be tailor-made to each student from the 18th year onwards. Itʼs a very complex process but itʼs one that places the Babylon Academy at the top of the world.

After all, anyone from here is a very desirable individual in the work they specialize in at the academy. Thatʼs why the exam procedures here are long, lengthy, and thorough, which means a very high chance of falling out of the academy if you flop up or give a chance for others below you to take a higher position.

Everything might look simple and easy for me here, but thatʼs because I am who I am. For the rest, mediocre or the ones not at the top, this place is a dog-eat-dog world that will completely destroy you or make you into something that canʼt be broken.

ʼOpportunities you can never dream about at your fingertips, but you need to have the wit, power, and will to take it...ʼ

I mused as I sat in my classroom after a long time, the eyes of everyone on me, the teacher giving me some looks as he spoke.

”So everyone remains cool-headed, take your exams with a confident front, and hopefully I shall see you all in this class.”

As he finished, everyone stood up from their places and they started to leave, well except for me as I sat in my place, this being my teacherʼs command. The reason is that the teachers themselves canʼt properly take the exams for me. My profession, the one of the Archery King, a pathway and techniques that I inherited from Eleanor, isnʼt something that anyone can mark or understand.

Well, at least thatʼs what the world knows. So making a question paper on it isnʼt easy, especially finding teachers who can teach me better than the Bow Empress Eleanor herself. The only questions they can teach me on are ones on survival, the noble etiquette, and the stuff related more to the mind and intelligence; otherwise, they are all blank.

Not to mention that no one really knows about my origin level; several speculations lay but without any confirmation from me, speculations will only remain speculations. Thus the test conditions for me have to be prepared in a specific manner to match my abilities which they have no ideas of.

This same situation lies for all the students at the top of the pyramid in power and position; they will have their very greatly designed tests for them, created with meticulous research by teachers and professors of the highest order, tests that shall only make them better when they finish out all.

”So you ready?”

My teacher asked, with a wry smile, a hint of excitement filling his eyes.

ʼIt would seem all those crazy instructors and ranging to test me to my limit.ʼ
