Chapter 152: Irregular License Exam (32)
This wasn't just a small increase in speed, but rather one that was enough to make many of us start to run.
But for the examiners, it just looked like they were walking at a brisk pace instead of having any troubles.
This was the difference between us and these powerful people.
Eventually, there were people that couldn't keep up anymore and started to drop out.
If this was before, I definitely would have been one of those people.
But after being trained by Su Chen, my body was much stronger than before.
It could even be considered top class among all the people that came to take the Irregular Exam.
One of the dropouts though was Long Shui Ling.
She did her best, but her stature was there.
Even if she did her best, her body just couldn't keep up and it didn't take long for her to run out of breath.
It was at that point that I picked her up and started carrying her on my back.
Once again, if it wasn't for Su Chen's training, this wouldn't have been possible.
Of course, I also needed a bit of help from my powers.
"A bit faster." I whispered to myself before suddenly starting to move faster without feeling as drained.
When this happened, I couldn't help feeling that there were some gazes that fell onto me.
I didn't know where these gazes came from, but I could tell that there was no hostility behind them. Rather it seemed like there was interest and excitement behind these gazes.
At the same time, it almost felt like someone wanted to hunt me.
What I didn't notice was that the eyes of the examiners lit up after they saw me using my ability.
"It really is a buff skill…"
"It seems like he can control it to give minor and major buffs. The minor ones won't have too strong side effects, but they aren't as strong as well."
"Then the stronger ones can be considered a trump card, right?"
There were many different whispers that discussed the details of what they saw, but of course there wasn't a single negative thing about this.
All of them were excited about seeing such an ability.
Elliot was the one that had the brightest eyes since he was the one that had made the first move.
There were others that were envious of him for building that relationship early, but there was nothing that they could do now.
So they just turned their attention to Lin Fan to see how they could recruit him.
This jog took us all the way back to the stadium that we had been in yesterday.
The ones that fell off were able to catch up in the end since they were able to figure out where the examiners were going based on the direction that they were heading in.
But when they arrived, they had ugly expressions on their faces.
They were the ones that had dropped off, it was normal for them to have these ugly expressions.
Still, they didn't look too worried since they didn't think that this would matter.
That was until the serious looking man said, "Well, that's everyone." With a clap, he continued by saying, "So for those that couldn't keep up, you have all failed the third exam and will be listed as E Rank Irregulars for now."
The moment that they heard this, all of the ones that had dropped out revealed shocked looks.
They couldn't believe what this examiner was saying, especially with the casual tone that he said it in.
Was their fates going to be decided that easily?
No!
They would never accept something like that!
So one of the ones that had failed came up to the examiner and said, "How can we just trust what you say? Do you really think that we'll accept this that easily? How can you just decide our fates that easily? We demand to talk to a supervisor about this!"
The serious looking man looked at this examinee with a smile on his face as he said, "You want to talk to a supervisor?"
The young man was about to give a nod when he suddenly felt a mountain like pressure fall onto him.
He wasn't able to resist as it crushed him into the ground.
All he could do was look up and he knew that this was because he was allowed to look up.
It wasn't his own power that allowed him to look up, it was the mercy of the other side that allowed this.
He tried to say something, but he found that it was even hard to move his lips.
The serious looking man looked down at him and said, "Well I am the supervisor and what I say goes. You're here to take our exam, so if you don't like our rules, then maybe you don't need our license."
When the young man heard this, his face immediately filled with regret.
He had wanted to do the best that he could to get a higher rank since that would mean more opportunities for him, but if he were to lose his Irregular License because of this, that wouldn't be worth it.
The Irregular License had a very important meaning since it was a license that was highly regarded by many places.
As long as one had this license, they would be able to obtain many opportunities that they never would have dreamed of before.
At the same time, the higher the rank, the greater the opportunities.
But losing this was much greater of a loss.
So the young man could only look up for a bit before fainting out of fear of losing his Irregular License.
Seeing him faint like this, the serious looking man gave a snort and said, "All bark and no bite."
With another snort, he added, "Maybe I really should just fail him."
This made everyone tremble out of fear that they might suffer the same fate if they angered this examiner.
But in the end, he said with a sigh, "He passed the second exam, so he at least deserves that license, I won't take that from him."
It seemed that there was a bottom line that he didn't dare touch…
