666 Passing is Impossible


    Emeros was now resting and recovering. It was revealed that the next test would continue the next day and wait for the student''s exams to finish.


    Xr began organizing and gathering the teachers to prevent the exam results of the Vashura ss from being tampered with.


    Knowing that Emeros had gained confidence in his ss''s results, Xr only did his part to minimize any tampering that would surely ur.


    Emeros sat down, and with him were several teachers who used to be neutral or had antagonistic leanings. But now they waited with Emeros not because he killed a Pedagog but because of his support.


    Emeors saw the powerful men and couldn''t help but feel nostalgic.


    "Kyros and Noxus were always surrounded by powerful allies... Was it like this?" Emeros thought as he watched the teachers silently wait along with him.


    "May I know how the Student''s Examination is ranked?" Emeros asked.


    "...No one exined it to you?!" Senior Teacher Zwelus was surprised.


    "I recall Teacher Fred being tasked with delivering this message to you. I guess he never left." Senior Teacher Crea chuckled.


    "Let me exin. The students have individual rankings, and the ss has a ranking based on the total points of the ss."


    "So it''s not an average? What if there is a superior student in the mix?"


    "Then that superior student is expected to help the rest up. We are called to be teachers here."


    "I see... Then what is the passing score that we need as first-year students?"


    "The passing score for your ss will probably be set to that of the lowest ss, which is 1135 points. Your ss has to reach this point system. The Vashura ss is ranked at the bottom- the ss ranks 234 at zero points. As a reference, the first-year ss ranked 233 has a current score of 547."


    "Wait...!" Emeros perked up.


    "They have 547 points already?!"


    "That''s from the previous test. Their ss needs to acquire 500 more points."


    Emeros felt as if his stomach vanished.


    "...It''s... it''s that high?!" Emeros reacted.


    "...Err you... didn''t know? You seemed confident, teacher Emeros." Zwelus asked.


    "I knew it would be hard, but that''s freakin'' impossible! I didn''t prepare for this since I didn''t know it would be this great!" Emeros eximed.


    Everyone was silent. The biggest issue was that Emeros didn''t know the rules. Otherwise, he would have prepared.


    "Curse that Teacher Fred! Who is he?! Is it you? You look like Fred!" Emeros scanned those nearby.


    "Er...! Teacher Emeros. None of us is teacher Fred! I''m Bobby!"


    "He was one of those who did not pass. He was the clean-shaven one among those you threatened earlier, " another teacher added.


    "Damn, that teacher!" Emeros cursed. He was starting to get worried. "How is the point system scored during the test?"


    "Each test has a point system, and it varies. Some will grant you a perfect score of ten, while the others could grant you hundreds, depending on how youpleted it."


    "And the second-year students'' examiners put in the points, correct?"


    "Not exactly. A magical codex records every student''s actions. The examiners are merely confirming what the codex sets. The second-year examiners input their judgment regarding the methods and means, whether the student cheated or got lucky in the test, into the Codex. For example, in a cultivation test where the test is a battle, the examiner can only input how long the studentsted, what techniques were used, or, in rare cases, how long the examiner fought until he lost."


    "But that is just for one test," Zwelus added.


    "While they can individually fail the test and get low marks, the overall counting is the total points for all tests they took. Of course, the students get deductions instead of additions for every failed test."


    "So the more the test they take isn''t the answer?"


    "Originally, it was. But with the new rules, it isn''t."


    Emeros felt his vision darken. He had heard the students nned to take numerous tests to gain points!


    "And the codex assesses this pass or fail?"


    "Yes. In the case of a cultivation battle, the Codex assesses it as it also has detailed information about the examiner. So even if a student lost the fight, if the Codex sees the student worthy enough given their levels and strengths, it will grant a pass to the student. I believe the highest record score was a Third Year student who defeated a Fourth Year student. He acquired twenty-three points in one test. The highest marks possible for that battle. This student wouldter be a Pedagog and is now a Two-Star Expert of Combat serving in the army in the Continents Above the Clouds."


    "It was strange that Pedagog Zedos was not here during this test... Perhaps he has a mission." Zwelus sighed. "Twenty-three points in a single battle... I doubt my students could get that... I haven''t seen the nature of the tests after all..." Emeros started to get worried.


    "How many students does Rank 233 have?"


    "They have thirty-three students."


    "Thirty-three?! I only have twenty-three students in my ss! I need each student to earn at least 50 points!"


    "That''s why you were expected to fail, Teacher Emeros, " another teacher added.


    "Fragment! Fragment! Fragment! I knew it would be hard, but this is ridiculous! Passing is impossible for me!"


    "No matter. I''m sure Principal Xr can negotiate this. This is your first test. It''s illogical for you to be ranked ording to that standard. We will make our petition." One of the teachersforted.


    "Will it even work? A lot of master teachers hate Emeros. Principal Xr can only do so much." Crea sighed and shook her head.


    GONG!


    A massive sound shook the entire school.


    "The First Years'' Exams are over. It is now time to rank the ss, " a Master Teacher announced.


    All the students and teachers began to gather once more in the massive hall where the teacher''s examinations were held.


    Emeros followed the teachers who were with him and couldn''t help but tremble with nervousness. His ascension to the highernds required sess and miracles. But the timetable for thesends was growing short, with the Heavenly Triangle''s desire to open the path!


    Emeros watched in horror...


    "As you know, the magical codexpiles and resonates with every student codex to rate it. Principal Xr has ensured that the Codex is not tampered with. So the results of this are sure. First Years, see the results of this test for your eyes and ept your faith! And for the lower sses who have not yet reached the 1000 points mark, the passing mark is 1135. Should you fail, you will be given one more chance or fall to the Vashuras." The Master Teacher nced at the Vashura ss at the side and sneered.


    "Does he know...?" Emeros trembled.


    "Teacher Emeros, the Master Teacher, is only taunting the ss. No one knows the results until the Codex calctes and disys them, " another teacher encouraged.


    But everyone was quite worried. Emeros had allowed them to work with those Beyond the Clouds, and they did not want to see him fail.


    "Still hoping for a miracle?" A cold voice spoke.


    Emeros turned, and there he found several teachers, Senior Teachers, and Master Teachers.


    Emeros frowned.


    "Which one of you is Fred? How dare you leave out important information to me!"


    "Hmp. Will you threaten us again? You boldly shouted and threatened many. But now, we see you as you really are." A Master Teacher stepped forward, obviously filled with rage.


    Emeros frowned. It was too fast. If the Master Teachers were scared of him earlier, why did they have courage now?


    Pedagog Bermivus was his ticket to a good life! But now, it was alling crashing down, with his foes emerging from all sides.


    "Threaten? That teacher failed to perform an important mission. I shall challenge him and kill him!" Emeros eyes grew intense.


    "Fred is recovering from his wounds. You should fight with me. Haven''t you killed a pedagog? What is a mere Master Teacherpared to that!"


    Emeros frowned as the enraged teacher stepped forward with his energy gathering.


    "I''m also recovering from my wounds. Or does he admit my superiority?" Emeros challenged back.


    "Oh, I assure you, he is a better teacher than you! His ss, the Fire Heart Passion, is ranked in the top 40 among the first years! Your students won''t have the qualifications to be on the list after this!" The Master Teacher walked on andughed.


    "I can''t wait to see you fail!" The old man''s voice rang out, but Emeros remained silent. He could not refute the man, knowing his ss was in danger.


    He nced at the ss on the other side of the hall, who also had nervous expressions.


    "Those four ought to have passed and perfected some test... The Master Teacher''s Judgment was probably because of that... But even if they score over fifty... we''ll still fail!" Emeros cursed.
