Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Ding Yu heard the exclamations from the crowd, looked up, and was equally stunned by Ding Dou’s score.

The younger brother she had been eager to distance herself from just moments ago had handed in such a face-slapping exam result, she was completely caught off guard.

Could it be that little Ding Dou was hiding some special abilities that she had been unaware of all along?

Ding Yu furrowed her brows, her heartbeat quickened, and she fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the calmest person present was probably Qin Xin, urging the examiner, ”Hurry up and score it.”

Similarly shocked, the examiner stuttered for a bit before quickly saying, ”Uh, uh. Okay, okay. His score should be...”

It seemed like a perfect score was the only option.

With a broad stroke, the examiner recorded that Ding Dou had achieved the highest score ever in the Divine Academy entrance exam: 100 points.

Keep in mind that Jing Zhichen’s 10 Spiritual Pearls could barely manage a decent score of 80 points.

Most examinees receiving Spiritual Pearls landed around 60 or 70 points.

There were also many who failed outright or even perished in the forest.

After being stunned for a while, the crowd gradually came to their senses. Jing Zhichen took the lead in clapping, graciously saying ”Congratulations,” and only then did everyone else burst into applause.

This made Ding Dou both shy and timid, unsure of how to respond.

”Sister Xin, I...”

Qin Xin: ”This is what you deserve.”

Little Douding grew even more bashful: ”Sister Xin...”

Being protected by a big shot feels awesome!

But it also makes him a bit nervous... He must work hard in the future and not bring embarrassment to Sister Xin.

Jing Zhichen reminded Qin Xin, ”Miss Lan, what about you?”

Qin Xin uttered an ”Oh” as if indifferent to her own score, then slowly pulled out a tiny, sesame-sized Spiritual Pearl from her pocket, handing it to the examiner.

The examiner frowned, ”60 points. You should really learn more from this little brother here.”

Qin Xin: ”Oh.”

Group 1: ”...”

Examiner, you didn’t see how fiercely this woman triumphed with one arrow and three wins!

Jing Zhichen gave her a meaningful glance, wondering why this woman was intentionally holding back. They had collected quite a few Spiritual Pearls together during the hunt; what was she saving them for? Yet, she submitted so many on behalf of Little Douding earlier. She was increasingly difficult to understand, completely unpredictable.

Little Douding, quivering: ”Sister Xin, you shouldn’t have gotten 60 points, the perfect score should be yours...”

Qin Xin lowered her voice: ”Silly boy, having one perfect score between us is enough. It’s no problem; at school, I used to always score 59, so I’m quite satisfied with today’s 60. Besides, isn’t it great to save the rest of the Spiritual Pearls for refining later?”

Little Douding: ”...”

The big sister’s perspective is so unique!

Once everyone handed in their Spiritual Pearls, the score rankings were released.

Ultimately, there were only 12 students who passed.

Which was less than one-tenth of the students who participated in the hunt.

You could say the competition was quite brutal.

The Red Robe Tutors pointed at the helicopter, saying, ”You are all now first-year students of Divine Academy. Your formal enrollment notifications will be sent to your homes today. From now on, everything about you will be managed by Divine Academy, and you may not leave campus without permission. This helicopter will take you back to Imperial City, where you’ll officially enroll and begin new student physical training. Let’s go!”

The students who gained admission were joyous, while those eliminated looked ashen-faced.

Everyone was preparing to board the helicopter.

Ding Yu suddenly walked over, approached Qin Xin, and took Ding Dou’s hand to lead him away from Qin Xin’s side.

Ding Dou struggled a bit: ”You, what are you doing...”
