45 -45 Accidents

At this time, at the entrance gate, long queues had already formed.

All students could only carry the most basic exam supplies, and had to go through a specially set up security checkpoint to enter the school.

The line moved quickly, and in just a few minutes, Su Ming had smoothly passed the inspection and entered the school.

He picked up his admission ticket and glanced at it, then headed toward Exam Room No.

7 as indicated.

Before long, Su Ming arrived at Exam Room No.

7 and was met by Chen Yi and four other proctors, along with two guards at the classroom door.

They conducted a second identity verification on the arriving students, ensuring that each person’s information matched that on their admission ticket.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi kept reminding the students present.

“Upon entering the exam room, no talking is allowed!

In case of an emergency, please raise your hand, wait for the teacher’s permission before speaking, or you will bear all the consequences…”

Su Ming took his admission ticket and walked forward; he swiftly passed the identity check and entered the classroom.

He looked around the classroom; all the desks were spaced out sufficiently to ensure ample distance between them.

Additionally, temporary cameras had been installed at the front and back of the classroom to record the exam process for archival purposes.

At this moment, Su Ming unexpectedly saw Chen Tong; the youngster was also taking the exam in this classroom.

Unfortunately, Chen Tong was seated quite a distance away from him; he was at the front left of the classroom, while Su Ming was at the back right.

Chen Tong glanced at Su Ming as he entered through the front door and said nothing; conversation was not permitted here, and the entire classroom was silent.

Su Ming nodded slightly at him and then walked to the back to sit down, quietly waiting for the exam to begin.

To be honest, because the preparation had been rushed, Su Ming was not fully confident that he could do well.

But it was this uncertainty and challenge that excited him.

Time trickled by.

Soon, the time to start the exam arrived, and Chen Yi and the other teachers walked in with a stack of sealed test papers, placing them on the lectern, then they began to unseal them.

He took out the test papers that were sealed in bags, distributing them while saying,

“The distribution of the test papers begins now.

After receiving your test paper, do not start writing until you are notified to do so.

Then you may begin!”

Su Ming’s heart grew even more excited, his gaze fixed on Chen Yi, the proctor distributing the test papers.

Before long, Chen Yi handed Su Ming his test paper.

Su Ming briefly scanned it, encountering the usual twenty-page test, which seemed incredibly complex at a first glance.

Su Ming’s expression grew more solemn; the difficulty was higher than he had anticipated. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Now that the test papers had been handed out, Chen Yi stood quietly waiting.

After about two minutes, a crisp bell rang through the school.

“Start writing!”

Chen Yi announced.

Su Ming and the others picked up their pens, but just as they were about to start working on their test papers,

a flurry of hurried footsteps was heard, followed by the classroom door being forcefully pushed open.

Ten soldiers clad in first-generation gray metal Exoskeleton Armor·Iron Shell, led by a big man in a second-generation red metal Exoskeleton Armor·Rock Steel, burst in.

“Nobody move!”

The leading big man bellowed.

All the students in the room were startled, each showing expressions of shock and anxiety.

Chen Yi and the others were dumbfounded.

“You…”

“We are soldiers from the Imperial Court Academy’s direct Imperial Court Sect.

I am squad leader Ray’ao.

From this moment on, we are taking over this exam room.

Proctors, you may leave; you are no longer needed here.”

Ray’ao spoke in a deep voice.

Chen Yi and the others, hearing that the military had taken over the exam room, were stunned, walking out in a daze.

Su Ming was also extremely surprised; what was this all about?

At that time, Mint Middle School was entirely surrounded by Imperial Court Sect soldiers, with military armored vehicles driving into the campus.

The parents waiting at the school gate were flabbergasted, watching as so many troops went in, they chatted uneasily.

“What’s happening?”

“I have no idea!”

…

In fact, what was taken over wasn’t just Mint Middle School, but the entire Thirteenth District, and even all schools conducting the city exam throughout the three cities and Sixteen Districts were under strict control.

Inside the classroom.

Ray’ao’s fierce gaze swept relentlessly over all the test-takers, instilling even greater fear in the students.

Until now, they had no clue what was happening.

At this moment, Ray’ao’s wireless communication device issued an order.

“Initiate a thorough re-inspection.”

After receiving the command, Ray’ao stretched his mouth into a cruel smile and said to all the seated students,

“Everyone, called up one by one, all go through the security check again.

Any slight movement will be considered cheating!

And one more thing I must tell you, anyone caught cheating will have their city exam qualification immediately revoked, and there’s no need to draw red or black lots, they will be sent straight to the frontline battle!”

Upon hearing this, several students in the room instantly showed expressions of extreme terror.

Ray’ao immediately zeroed in on them.

“You, you, and you!

Stand up!”

The three singled-out students shakily stood up, their faces deathly pale.

Su Ming watched the reaction of the three students and immediately had a bad feeling.

Ray’ao strode forward and glared at the three, snarling,

“What are you three scared of?

Tell me!”

“No, sir.”

A student with glasses said, his lips quivering.

Ray’ao’s gaze fell on the pen on the boy’s desk, making him even more nervous, and Ray’ao grabbed the pen and snapped it in half.

Crack!

Intricate electronic components inside were exposed, along with tiny sparks.

In that instant, the student’s face turned ashen.

“Sir, sir….”

“Take him away, directly to the front line!” Ray’ao commanded without a hint of mercy.

A soldier stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar to drag him out.

“No, please, I was wrong, I won’t dare again….”

The student was in extreme panic, pleading non-stop.

He was so scared that he’d wet his pants; there was a large wet patch.

Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

The soldier from the Imperial Court Sect forcibly took him away.

Seeing this, one of the other two students immediately suffered a mental collapse and begged right then and there,

“Sir, can I just not take the exam, please?”

“Yes, of course!

Take him away!” Ray’ao said, revealing a sadistic smile as he waved a hand.

“You can’t do this to me, do you know who my father is?

Let me go….”

The student shouted desperately, but it was useless; he was still ruthlessly dragged out.

Ray’ao turned to the last female student, asking fiercely,

“Do you want me to take action myself, or will you confess?”

Su Ming’s brow furrowed slightly; these were all elite soldiers, and it was clear they were hardened veterans of the battlefield, not just ruthless in their methods but also extremely sharp in their perceptions.

These students with issues had too poor a psychological quality to hide their guilty consciences.

“I, uh-huh, I was wrong!”

The female student burst into tears right there.
