Chapter 306: This is Beyond Unbelievable!
The morning had stretched on, the exam lasting a good three hours. As Elok and the others stepped out, there was an immediate collective sigh of relief, followed by a frantic comparison of answers. Soon enough, they were arguing fervently, faces flushed.
"It's impossible! I've double-checked multiple times; the wizard involved in the plane crash should've reached the ground by the thirty-first second," Elok declared with absolute certainty.
"You must have miscalculated. The formula for this question involves the distance, S equals initial velocity, V, times time, t, plus half of the acceleration times t squared. You need to set the free fall time as t1... and the total time of descent turns out to be twenty-four seconds, with a free fall distance of eighty meters!" countered another wizard.
Elok mentally recalculated and his expression soured.
Oh no, he had gotten another question wrong.
On the side, Pearce breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness for the last-minute review on free fall formulas last night, or he'd have been doomed today.

Inside the examination hall, Lynn was scrutinizing the answer sheets being collected, with Orlando's group responsible for grading them.
Even if they might not have been able to solve them themselves, they were confident in marking the correct answers.
"Headmaster Lynn, looks like there won't be many who pass this time..." Orlando shook his head after reviewing a dozen or so papers. It was close to what he'd estimated; roughly only thirty percent would make it through the written test.
"Why is it so challenging?" Lynn wondered. Wizard apprentices should have sharp minds, not necessarily all geniuses, but certainly sharper than the average person.
Yet upon closer thought, Lynn quickly grasped the issue.
Despite the seemingly not-so-difficult questions, the apprentices had not had much time to study. In total, they only had a little over a year to grasp a wide array of subjects—Lynn had crammed in primary and middle school-level physics, chemistry, and even some high school topics.
Coupled with Lynn occasionally skipping classes to tend to personal matters or participate in academic seminars and the kingdom's wars, their self-study time had also been quite extensive.
Looking at some high-scoring papers, Lynn immediately dismissed the notion.
If some could achieve high marks, then the test wasn't excessively difficult after all...
Among them, Jonny was undoubtedly the most proficient, with only three mistakes in the deliberately prepared challenging questions out of the final five!
Elements, shaping, alchemy, potions, and combat exercises—a total of five subjects, divided over two days...
Over the past year, the Iyeta wizard apprentices had faced many rigorous courses, yet several aspects were interconnected.
For instance, the chemistry subjects involved the properties and changes of elements, so their foundation wasn't neglected. Their mathematical training for calculations also brought their magical reserves close to their limits, resulting in more students applying for graduation this year.
Pearce, aware that his performance in the morning wouldn't be stellar, exerted extra effort and excelled, breezing through the first four subjects.
As for the final combat exercises, surprisingly, they turned out to be the easiest. Their opponents were three magically enhanced puppets, comparable in strength to fully armed guards, and dealing with them wasn't too demanding.
Even Lydia managed to skillfully take down these puppets using meticulously crafted short-barreled firearms.
On the morning of the third day, it was time for the results to be announced. The entire magical academy's students gathered, waiting anxiously and nervously.
Receiving their grade sheets and seeing their success was met with cheers and jubilation, but clearly, there were more who hadn't made it.
Even with a curved grading system, less than forty percent managed to pass this graduation exam.
"Damn it, just a little more!" Debra stared at the conspicuous fifty-eight score on her paper, feeling immensely frustrated. If only she'd reviewed a bit more or if the professor had been a tad more lenient, she could've passed.
Now she had to wait another year... Debra reflected in silence as nearby, a burst of exuberant cheers erupted.
"This is amazing... I made it!"
