In contrast, those battle pets that are not good at learning tend to grow slowly.
At this mont, with the addition of the Intelligent Specialty, the Erald eyed Riolux naturally made Ethen Cole extrely excited.
Aside from enhancing its intelligence, this upgrade has granted the Blux a fourth skill.
However, there is a common understanding in the realm of battle pets.
That is, any battle pet can master a maximum of four skills simultaneously.
Once all four skill slots are filled, in order to learn a new skill, one must abandon one of the existing skills.
Now, the erald eyed Riolux has acquired its fourth skill.
This ans that if it wants to gain a new skill in the future, Ethen Cole will have to make a decision to relinquish one of the current four skills.
"I now have a four skill battle pet!"
Ethen Cole was very excited.
Because, as far as he knew, the battle pet of the top talent of Hilltop High School, Diana Nor, currently had only three skills.
Most candidates of the sa age have two skills.
Having four skills undoubtedly gives him a significant competitive advantage.
Moreover, the new Skill 4: [Wind Blade] is a ranged magical attack, perfectly compensating for the Blux's previous lack of ranged attack capability.
"Rio!"
The upgraded Blux was also very excited, continuously rubbing its face against Ethen Cole.
"Hahaha, don't get too cocky; the college entrance exam isn't over yet."
Ethen Cole patted the Blux and continued to walk forward.
Afterward, he went on to kill a batch of magical beasts one after another.
"Exam ti is over!"
When the bell rang from the token he carried, the first subject of the exam finally concluded.
The candidates gradually walked out of the examination venue, gathering at the place where they had previously registered their nas.
"Ethen Cole, how did you do on the exam?"
Upon seeing Ethen Cole, Diana Nor imdiately inquired.
"Not bad, what about you?"
"I did well too."
Diana Nor, in good spirits, replied with a cheerful smile.
Her smile, under the sunlight, appeared particularly youthful and vibrant, causing Ethen Cole's face to flush slightly.
He quickly shifted his gaze away.
Diana Nor also sensed a slightly awkward atmosphere, nodded quickly at Ethen Cole, and returned to the group of the sixth class of seniors, chatting animatedly with a bunch of girls.
Seeing Diana Nor leave, Ethen Cole's good friend Hakimi Nash ca over.
He nudged Ethen Cole with his elbow and smiled aningfully.
"Ethen Cole, it looks like Goddess Diana has quite a liking for you. Did sothing happen between you two?"
"Not at all!"
Ethen Cole rolled his eyes at Hakimi Nash.
He had a very good relationship with Hakimi Nash. Previously, when Ethen Cole was expelled from school, Hakimi Nash even asked his father to intercede with the education departnt on his behalf.
Although it didn't have any effect, Ethen Cole rembered this favor in his heart.
"How did you do on the exam?"
"Uh, just okay. I scored 81 points."
Hearing Hakimi Nash's score, Ethen Cole's expression twitched slightly.
81?
That was close!
Based on the cutoff scores from previous years, scoring above 80 in the first subject is generally required to have a chance.
Hakimi Nash scored exactly 81 points.
In this situation, if luck is on his side, he might advance to the next round; if not, there's a real possibility he could be eliminated.
Silently, Ethen Cole prayed in his heart for his good friend.
...
Soon, the exam results were tallied.
To avoid hurting the selfesteem of those who were eliminated, the examiners only announced the scores of the top 300 candidates.
"Ranked 300th, from Hilltop High School, Class 6 of Senior Year, Hakimi Nash! Scored 81 points!"
The first na announced by the examiner was Hakimi Nash.
"I made it, Ethen Cole, I made it!"
Hakimi Nash was ecstatic, unable to contain his excitent and shouted loudly upon hearing his na.
He sure was lucky. This year's cutoff score was exactly 81 points, and he just made it across the line to advance.
The candidates who didn't advance looked on with envy at Hakimi Nash's reaction.
Especially those who scored 80 points, they were full of regret.
If only they had scored one or two more points!
Unfortunately, the college entrance exam is a decisive battle, with no room for 'if only'...
The harshness of fate was unmistakably revealed at this mont.
The examiner continued to announce the scores.
Soon, among the list of 300 nas, Ethen Cole heard two more familiar nas.
Kamil Lon and Fairuz Kin.
Both were students from Hilltop Experintal School, and their successful entry into the second round brought cheers from the Hilltop Experintal School's team.
After making it through, Kamil Lon and Fairuz Kin specifically went over to the Hilltop High School group to thank Ethen Cole.
Passing the first subject was akin to having one foot in the door of a university.
At this mont, Kamil Lon and Fairuz Kin coming to thank Ethen Cole astonished the surrounding students of Hilltop High School.
They didn't understand why two already selected "good students" would co to thank a useless person.
"Hmph, Ethen Cole may be weak in strength, but he certainly knows how to network!" said a student from Class 9, Grade 12 at Hilltop High School, nad Amar Rezza, in a sarcastic tone.
Amar Rezza first noticed Diana Nor being very friendly with Ethen Cole, and now he saw two promising students from another school thanking Ethen Cole.
Ethen Cole being treated so favorably made Amar Rezza quite displeased, prompting him to make sarcastic remarks.
Hearing this, Ethen Cole said nothing.
With his growing strength, his mindset had already changed.
He believed that when the examiner announced his score shortly, reality would give Amar Rezza a proverbial slap in the face.
"Ranked 200th, Hilltop High School, Class 9 of Senior Year, Amar Rezza, scored 89 points!"
Upon hearing the examiner announce his score, Amar Rezza jumped up excitedly.
