Angelica froze in place for a while, and then tremblingly said to herself: “No, I have to hurry … wake up…”
“You are not dreaming. Face the reality,” I said calmly.
“But brock how… Are you so good at studies… you are obviously an orc…” she still had a face of disbelief.
“What do you think of us Orc? We also attach great importance to knowledge and culture! Know that the academy I used to study in was very strict.”
“How strict was it?”
“Those who fail in the exam will be punished. If you fail a subject, you will be punished with a 10km run, if you fail two subjects, you will be caught by the instructor and eat a whole set of spine splitting skills. If you fail in three subjects, you will be directly thrown in the beast pen.”
Angelica’s eyes widened.
It might sound like an exaggeration, but it was true. Moreover, this was just from the standard ordinary academy, and the punishment method of the soldier camp was even more terrible.
Under this temper of the hell-like education method, we orc students excelled at learning methods, especially the assault-type review before the exam. Every orc student, no matter how he or she performs on weekdays, has the ability to demonstrate an unparalleled concentration during the exam preparation stage.
After all, we all understand that there is only one life.
Who wouldn’t want to live comfortably if they could? we were f*king force to do it. How could you, the long-eared greenhouse flowers living under a benevolent education system, understand our hard work?
This time it was the same, the gambling contract I made with Rolanna reminded me that my life was hanging by a thread when preparing for a subject I wasn’t good at. I was studying alone in this room late nights before the exam. Whenever I dozed off, as long as I thought about the result that I would fall into the hands of Rolanna and Miriya, If I failed the subject, I would immediately become energetic.
“Brock, that’s not strict. It should be called attempted murder…….” Angelica complained after she recovered.
“Well, yes, failing four subjects like you, we basically won’t be able to survive next semester.”
“But…. anyway, the third place, isn’t that too ridiculous?” she seemed to be still brooding about it.
“To be honest, I also couldn’t believe it at first.” I scratched my head and looked at the ranking list.
Generally speaking, the answering of exam questions went smoothly, but I didn’t have any idea about the ranking. When Rolanna handed me the list with a subtle smile on her face, I felt nervous.
However, the results were surprisingly good. Third place, to get this level, in addition to following regular study plan and military-style preparation during the days of preparation, there was a large help from princess Alyssa. In the first few days of review, she not only taught me several subjects I didn’t know but also helped in predicting some exam questions, most of which I bet on. And then combining with the general subject I studied in the tribal academy, I was able to get such results.
Princess Alyssa herself ranked first in the written examination with nearly full marks in all subjects. As the successor of a leader of a country, she seems to be quite self-disciplined in her studies. She was able to tutor me in the preparation stage, so it was natural for her to have such strength.
Instead, I cared more about the student in second place.
