Chapter 940


    All the students in the preparatory ss were unnerved by the severity of Donovan‘s expression, so

    much so that even Arielle roused groggily upon sensing the unusual nature of the atmosphere around


    her.


    She thought she ought to look into her own supplementary needs, considering how easily she dozed


    off after her arrival.


    “I‘ve stressed prior to themencement of this examination how important it is. However, I‘ve avoided


    going into the specifics before as I was wary of how it might affect your frame of mind going in. Now


    that the exams are over, it’s time to let all of you in on it,” Donovan exined.


    “What‘s this about, Mr. Baxter?” the student who shared tables with Wendy could not help but ask.


    Donovan acknowledged that with a nod before he cut to the chase. “Although you’ve been told that this


    exam is our monthly test, it is, in fact, an exercise for early recruitment initiated by Maxwell University.


    There are six ces made avable to students from our school, with five of them allotted to the


    preparatory ss and one going to the normal sses. The principal and I were unanimous that the


    ces should be awarded to the students whoe in ranking in the top five during this round of


    examinations. Consequently, whoeveres out ahead will have the opportunity to undertake the


    admissions test for Maxwell University at the end of the month.”


    That drew a collective gasp from the students.


    “I would have spent more time doing my revision had I known earlier.”


    “Me too. I felt that I haven’t been at my best this time.”


    “You can‘t put it that way. Had Mr. Baxter told us about this before, I might have been so nervous that I


    wouldn‘t be able to concentrate on the papers at all.”


    “It looks like I won’t be getting myself a ticket to Maxwell University‘s admissions test this time.”


    Wendy‘s lips curled up wryly when she heard the remarks made amidst those discussions.


    As she was the only one in ss who received a heads up from Donovan, it proved that even Donovan


    himself thought that she was the most outstanding student with the best character profile.


    “Ahem!”


    Donovan cleared his throat, which had the immediate effect of quieting down the ss.


    He waited until everyone had settled before he continued, “It‘s okay if you didn’t manage to earn any of


    the slots this time around, as Maxwell University will be giving all of you another opportunity to try again


    in the second half of the year. However, that would be an examination conducted on a worldwide scale.


    The content that you‘ll be tested on would also be much broader, and what I‘ll be covering in ss will


    be tailored toward that ordingly. You don’t have to be


    too worried as all of you will get a crack at it. For those who managed to receive a slot this time, make


    the most of your time to prepare for the uing test. Come by my office after school today and get


    the material I‘ve specially prepared in advance for you.”


    The students then exhaled in unison. Some out of nervousness, some out ofmentation, but most


    were in anticipation.


    Their goal for joining the preparatory ss was to get themselves into Maxwell University, for failure to


    do so would see them transferred to the normal sses in theing year.


    “Alright, that‘s all we have for the side topics. Coming up, we‘ll begin to go over the content of this past


    paper. So have your own copies at the ready, all of you,” said Donovan as he went into his lesson


    proper.


    At the same time, Arthur also had the results put up on the bulletin board where it drew the curious


    gazes of passing students who were not from the preparatory ss and stopped to look.


    “I heard that the papers for the preparatory ss were extremely tough!”


    “Of course! They were handpicked from amongst the best, the crème de crème. But us students


    from the normal sses are also able to sign up for the night exams, or so it was said.”


    “Night exams? The hell‘s that?”


    “Don‘t you know that Maxwell University will be allotting six advanced ces to participate in their


    admissions test this time? The normal sses will only be receiving one slot. If you register now, you‘d


    be able to take part in the exams topete for that slot in the evening.


    “Oh, it’s Maxwell University. I’m majoring in arts, so the admissions to Maxwell University doesn’t really


    concern us.”


    While the students chatted amongst themselves, they began to flock toward the bulletin board as they


    were eager to see which were the five lucky enough to be headed for exposure at Maxwell University.
