Chapter 151: Irregular License Exam (31)
When we came down to the lobby, we found that there were many people waiting there.
This was the gathering spot that they had told us about so it wasn't strange seeing everyone gathered there.
But it was clear that they were far more rested than us…
As soon as we came down, there were many gazes that were cast on us.
There was the usual glare from Zhao Kui, but there were many others who turned their gazes to us.
There were gazes that had ill intentions and good intentions mixed in them.
After all, no one knew what the third exam would be like and it would be in their best interests to learn more about this person who placed first in the second exam.
Whether he was an enemy or not, it was never a bad thing to know one's competitors.
There was also the chance that this third exam would also be an exam where the examinees could work together.
If they could group up with this first place person, perhaps he could carry them.
So there were many people that turned their attention to me.
But I just ignored them all.
For me, the more people in my group, the worse it was for me.
My powers…were better used without any witnesses.
It was already one thing to bring Long Shui Ling along, but if there were even more people that came with me, it would be a problem.
So we just silently waited for the examiners to come.
Luckily, there was also a restaurant in this lobby that we could get some breakfast in.
We didn't know how long it would be before the examiners came, so it was best to fill our stomachs while we could.
We didn't sit down to eat and just ordered a few things to take with us.
"Here you go." Long Shui Ling handed me an English muffin that she had removed the wrapper from.
Since what had happened this morning, she had started to act like a little wife.
There were people that looked at me with strange looks because of how she looked, but I just ignored them all and took the English muffin from her.
Different from before, I also started speaking more to her.
It wasn't because I was moved by her actions, but because…I was using my Hypnosis skill on her.
I was putting subliminal messages into her now for when I needed it later. These suggestions that I was putting in her now would without a doubt be helpful in the future.
We didn't have to wait long in the end as the examiners showed up, but it wasn't just a single examiner that appeared.
It was a group of examiners who had all appeared at once, coming in through the entrance of the hotel.
Among them was Elliot who I had met before.
When they came in, they immediately became the center of attention.
At the same time, everyone moved back slightly to give them space.
The examiners walked right to the center of the lobby and one of them stepped forward.
This was a serious looking man that clearly seemed like he was above the others.
Even the aura that he released was clearly much greater than the other examiners.
After stepping out, he looked around himself before saying, "So you're the ones?"
No one said a word, but they could tell that it almost seemed like he was provoking them. At the same time, it was almost as if he was testing them.
So none of them backed down and looked right back at this examiner.
There was a moment of silence that happened before the stern serious looking man suddenly revealed a smile and said, "As expected of those that passed the second exam. Alright, you can all follow me to the third exam now. I'll explain what it is along the way."
There were secret sighs of relief that were let out since many of them had thought that something bad would happen, but that didn't seem to be the case.
As we walked, we found that there wasn't a single person outside.
Now that I thought about it, it also was strange.
There were still other people in this hotel last night, but now they were all gone.
Other than the staff of the restaurant, there hadn't been a single other person all morning.
It seemed that there was still something happening.
There weren't any cars that were waiting outside for us, so it seemed that we would be walking.
The serious looking man just walked forward with the other examiners following him, walking at a brisk pace.
However, his brisk pace was more of a jog for us.
Unless we ran after him, it didn't seem like we would be able to keep up with him.
However, that serious looking man wasn't even out of breath as he explained the third exam to us.
"The third exam is very simple, you will be fighting each other."
We would have been surprised, but we didn't really have the time to be surprised with trying to keep up with these examiners.
He also didn't look back as he continued, "After passing the second exam, you have all been registered as Irregulars."
This time, we couldn't hold back our shock and there were a few that couldn't help stopping in a daze. However, all that did was cause them to fall behind the pack and they had to dash to catch up.
"What will happen now is that you will head to the same stadium as yesterday and you will now fight one on one battles so that we can rank you properly. The better that you do, the higher rank you will receive."
After hearing this, there were many people that looked around themselves at the ones they would have to compete with.
There were many that looked at me with hostile looks, as if they regarded me as the biggest threat.
But once again, there wasn't time for them to think about this.
"Before that, let's get some exercise in. That's enough of that slow pace." The serious looking examiner said with a smile on his face.
With that, he started moving faster.
