I woke up bright and early on Arcday morning and prepared myself an energy-rich breakfast. Well, I made a pretty basic olet, but the important part was the drink. I made myself three smoothies using a few berries.
I added a Chesto berry against any sleep. It was a bit dry, but the Leppa berry I added for an energy kick dealt with that dryness. Still, Leppa berries were a bit spicy, so I added a Pecha berry since its sweetness counteracted that nicely.
I added a Lum berry since it could clear any confusion. A Sitrus berry was added to make sure I was in top shape for what was to co. These two were pretty taste-neutral, so I could just add them into the mix without further consideration.
I liked the taste of strawberries a lot, so I added so for the taste. After adding in so Miltank Milk I mixed everything before bottling it in three bottles. I stored two while keeping one at hand.
After taking my first sip I was wide awake. I made a brief stop inside Utopia for so motivation in the form of hugs, before walking towards the academy while sipping my smoothie.
Of the 3 exams I had to go through today math was the first one. The exam began at 9 a.m, but we obviously had to be there before that. I obviously considered that, so despite my relaxed pace I was sitting in the seat assigned to by 8:45 a.m.
I took a look around and saw that none of my fellow first years was happy about being here, which I could understand. I cleared my throat to get everyone's attention before wishing them all good luck.
While I was at it, I sent a good luck ssage to Ace, Weiss, and my other third-year mates as well. At least to those whose phone numbers I had. I quickly received a "Thanks, you as well" ssage from a lot of them.
5 minutes before 9 a.m our teacher began placing the exams with the blank side up on our tables. We were asked to place anything besides our writing utensils into our bags, and at exactly 9 a.m we received a reminder to write our nas on the paper.
"You have 90 minutes to finish the exam. At 10:30 you have to put aside your pens. Alright, you may start," ca from our teacher, and for a mont the sound of rustling paper dominated the room.
I quickly followed the example of the rest and flipped my exam papers. I wrote my na on all three sheets. I took a quick look at both sides of the papers to make sure I did not miss any questions by assuming the backside was empty. It was, by the way, empty I an.
I first skimd through the question to see if there were any I had to leave for later, but there were none that looked too difficult, at least not at first glance. There were a total of 12 questions/tasks, 4 on each paper.
I made a quick prayer to Arceus, w, and the rest of the big ones to give so strength. Due to my dislike of math, any help was welco after all. I began to solve the first question, and everything went smoothly.
After finishing all four questions I raised my head to take a discreet look around the room and saw that everyone was focused on their papers. So were chewing their pens to deal with their nervousness which I found a bit amusing.
A quick glance at the clock told less than 15 minutes had passed since the start of the exam, which ant I had been pretty quick. I placed the first paper to the side and focused on the second one, before starting to solve the question on it as well.
Once I was done with all questions, I placed the paper on top of the first one before working on the last one. Soti later I wrote down the last bit of my answer, signaling the end of the exam for . A look at the clock told it had only been 40 minutes since the start, which was a bit surprising for .
I went at the test slowly and carefully, to avoid any hasty as well as stupid mistakes, or any misunderstandings. Yet, I finished in less than half the given ti. As an individual with a dislike of math, I was proud of myself. I would have pat my own shoulder if it would not have looked stupid and disrupted everyone.
So, I settled on giving myself a ntal pat on the shoulder. Anyway, to make sure I did not make any silly mistakes I carefully went through my answers. When none ca up, I felt pretty happy.
Another look at the clock showed that there were still 40 minutes until the end of the exam, and since I did not want to distract anyone, I decided against submitting my papers for now.
I spent the next 30 minutes just watching everyone bustling around Utopia, my own little reality show. Privacy? What's that? Can you eat it? Just kidding, I only watched those that were either playing or training, and I had asked for permission to do so long ago.
I was a benevolent landowner after all. Besides, I had no weird hobbies like that. Anyway, ten minutes before the end I decided to submit my paper and leave the room.
The next exam was going to start at 11 a.m so I had 40 minutes until then. I took out another smoothie and sipped it while waiting for the teacher to leave. The language exam was going to be held in our classroom as well, so I was going to re-enter once he left.
It happened a bit after I finished my drink, so I stood up and went inside the room. Everyone was discussing the questions and when they saw so headed my way to ask about my answers to compare them with theirs.
Since I rembered my exact answers I told them what wrote down one-to-one. I noticed that everyone was listening in and a few groaned when they hear so of my answers, probably because they answered sothing different.
Still, no one disrupted , and no one contradicted . I had a stellar reputation, after all, so seeing the majority agree with my answers they simply accepted that they are a mistake.
Still, after I was done reciting my answers I saw that no one seed to be sad, so I assud that no one f***ed up too badly in the grand sche of things.
We still had 20 minutes so everyone took out their cheat sheets to go over so stuff for the last ti before the exam. I personally decided against it, but I told everyone to drink sothing to stay hydrated.
Seeing them following my advice I suddenly got the urge to help them a bit with their condition, so I took out so Oran berries. Enough to give two to everyone. Those would serve as a snack to suppress any hunger and to restore their body condition close to optimum.
Everyone gave their thanks before focusing back on their sheets. Like before the teacher arrived soti before the exam ti. She placed the exam on everyone's tables before returning to the teacher's desk, where she pulled out a sound player from her bag.
"The first part of the exam is a listening comprehension, so after giving you a mont to write down your nas, I'll play a 3-minute conversation.
I'll give you a minute to make so notes before playing the file one more ti. There won't be a third ti, so make sure to pay attention." She said while letting her gaze wander through the class.
"You have until 12:30 to finish the exam, so don't drag on too much with answers." She finished just in ti, so she told us to turn around the paper and write down our nas.
A mont later, she played the soundtrack and I seriously listened to the whole thing, only making notes after the track was finished. I outlined the overall topic and so things that stood out. During the second ti, I made notes while the conversation was playing
Then I began to answer the questions of the first task, before going through the multiple-choice section. The second part of the exam was a reading comprehension one. I first read through the questions, before skimming through the text once, marking paragraphs that seed relevant.
Then I took another look at the questions before reading the excerpt once, paying extra attention to the marked paragraphs. I then began to answer the questions, and I managed to finish the part without having to take another look at the text.
The last part was an essay and they had added an empty paper in case the one with the task on it was not enough. We had to write a short essay, 400 words minimum, regarding what we thought were the duties of Aura Guardians.
Once I was done, I took a look at the clock and saw that I had finished a bit more than twenty minutes early. I looked through my answers once more and waited until the exam was over after that.
The teacher left after collecting the papers and we made our way to the music room. The music exam would begin at 1 p.m, so we had thirty minutes until then. Everyone took place at their assigned seats and then proceeded to take out their notes to get a last look at so stuff.
This ti I followed suit since I had nothing better to do because everyone in Utopia was eating lunch. I finished my final smoothie while idly looking through my notes before the exam started.
The music exam took 90 minutes as well, and besides so tasks with note sheets, the others were about knowledge of certain instrunts and musicians.
After the exam was over I decided to invite my classmates to lunch since it was the first day of our exams week, and I wanted to do sothing nice for these poor souls.
No one said no, especially not after the majority agreed and looked at the rest for their answer. Ah, sweet peer pressure. Even in another magical world peer pressure was a thing. At least, this ti it was used for a good cause. Besides, I was sure everyone would have agreed to my invitation anyway.
While everyone was packing up, I called Weiss and Ace to ask how their exams went, or rather I called Ace, and Weiss was beside him since they were in the sa room.
After hanging up, I brought everyone to RFC, since inviting so many people to RFP would have cost a LOT, at least in their eyes, and they would have hesitated due to the price.
In RFC however, I told them to go wild, and everyone ate till they were full. We called about the exams and everyone began complaining about how many of those were still ahead of us.
We stayed there for close to two hours before leaving and going our way. I obviously settled the bill, and while so wanted to chi in, I declined, citing that I was the one who invited them, so paying was par the course.
As soon as I was back ho I went inside Utopia to de-stress by spending ti with my Pokemon. I relaxed there until dinner, after which I went over my "ditation lll", "History", and "Physical Education" notes since those were the courses I had exams for the next day.
The next morning I once more prepared my smoothie. This ti I made so extra, that I offered to Weiss and Ace when I t them due to "ditation lll" being my first exam today.
After finishing the exam we talked a bit before I had to go and join my first-year classmates, while they had to go to their next exam as well. I finished my "History", and "Physical Education" exams, each being 90 minutes long, before calling Ace and Weiss to ask if they wanted to go for lunch together.
They agreed and we went to RFP. Surprisingly, or as expected, the topic of our talks was the exams. They complained about the exams while occasionally talking about other stuff as well, but they mostly complained about the exam. That seed to be a trend at the mont.
We agreed on splitting the bill, like always. They wanted to review for the next day so we split up, and everyone went back ho. On Giratiday I finished the "Aura Sensing II", "Art", and "Ethics" exams.
On Palkiday, I completed the "Combat Preparation", "Biology", and "Pokemon Knowledge" exams, and today I went through the "Aura Speech II", "Geography", and "Material Science" exams.
I still had 4 more exams ahead of , two on Arcday, and two on wday, but for now, I got to enjoy the weekend.
