Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 237 The Second Test 1

'89%...'

When the marker on top of the door of the room in which Lothur was taking his exam came close to 90%, even the examiners applying the tests of other competitors became distracted.

The minimum an apprentice had to get right in this exam was 75%, but that did not mean that such a thing was easy to achieve!

Many who came there failed, and only those with high mastery of the functional inscriptions of Iron-grade formations could achieve the minimum required.

At the same time, it was straightforward for someone to forget some inscriptions or even confuse them since some were similar. So much so that even 1-star formation masters could take this exam and make some mistakes!

Because of the difficulty of achieving such a high rate, many were impressed by the silver-haired young man's abilities.

'That fellow studied hard!' One of the examiners there praised Lothur in his mind, wishing that more apprentices would wait for the right time to take this test.

"94%..." Johann muttered to himself as he stood beside the room Lothur was in, very impressed with this person's performance.

'I wonder where he came from? He said he is developing his own family... Don't tell me he has achieved this level of mastery at such a young age without having had the support of a power focused on this profession?' His eyebrows drew together with this doubt.

Johann had studied for nearly a decade within his family until he came to Peters City to begin the most complicated part of his journey as a formation master. He had had great resources and even earned a Soul Bone, but still, he had only reached the 93% mark!

As such, he was impressed and could not help but approach Annaliese. "Can you tell me how he studied this profession? That is the first time I've seen someone of my age with such talent, so I want to know more..."

Annaliese smiled and said. "Lothur has been learning the profession of formation masters for less than two months."

Johann and the examiners who heard his question looked at her in disbelief as their eyes opened so wide they looked as if they would jump out of their faces.

"It can't be! Impossible!" One of them exclaimed, feeling that the girlfriend of Lothur's was playing with them.

"How is that possible? Even geniuses within our profession with Yellow talent would take longer than that! How could he do that?"

Annaliese then shook her shoulders and said. "Believe what you want. But that is the truth."

Cedric also heard such nonsense, clenched his hands in anger, and felt a little contempt for this woman. 'Why is she lying? Is it just because he is a little better-looking than the rest of us? Don't tell me you're so shallow?'

But while the people there considered Annaliese's words as a provocation to them, Lothur's score reached the highest level!

'100%.' It blinked three times as it reached the top, while some people outside that room started talking louder, some happy to see that, others envious of Lothur.

"No matter how fast this young man learned our profession. Just from that result alone, I can already tell he is compatible and has worked hard to achieve perfection!"

"Yes, true! No wonder he said he was one of the best in the city. He really can say that!"

Some examiners smiled as they praised Lothur's admirable performance.

"Actually, he said he was the best, not one of the..." Someone commented in a low voice, laughing as he watched in the direction of Cedric, who looked a little pale at the moment.

As for Johann, as he watched the fog in Lothur's room diminish in density and the silhouette of this young man reappearing, he could not help but recognize this colleague's achievement.

'I took that exam myself, so I know how difficult it is to perform at such a high level...' He thought, still uncertain about the integrity of Annaliese's words but certain of Lothur's talent.

With that, the moment Lothur left that room under the gazes of everyone in that area, silence arose from the noise there, with Annaliese approaching him with a beautiful smile.

"Congratulations, Lothur, you have achieved the highest score on this exam!" She said as she hugged his right arm.

He smiled at her and commented. "I already expected something like this..."

Lothur then looked at the people in his surroundings, nodding to Johann and grinning at Cedric.

"Young man, congratulations on your result." The old man who had done Lothur's registration rose from his seat and approached this silver-haired person. "You demonstrated great knowledge regarding inscriptions in this first exam."

"That was nothing. I just used some of what I recently learned..." Lothur commented in his humble way...

"Anyway," The old man tapped one of Lothur's shoulders. "Tell me something, where do you come from? Perhaps from a large family of formation masters?"

"Not that I know of," Lothur sincerely said. "I started learning this profession on my own as a complementary activity to help me in my main goal."

"Complementary activity?"

"You learned it on your own?" People in the surrounding area listened to Lothur and repeated those words, shocked at how impressive or facetious he was.

If this was true, he was an unparalleled genius. If it was not, then he was probably the biggest rascal in the province to lie so well in front of so many people!

The old man shook his head and tried to ignore Lothur's exaggerations. "So you don't belong to any power?"

"Sort of. I'm not part of any organization of formation masters."

The old man then probed Lothur. "So what do you think about joining the association as part of the council? Sure, you'll still have to finish the exams, but even if you fail at something, we'll accept you as a member and nurture you!"

People in the surrounding area opened their mouths, shocked at such an outcome.

Being a member of the Formation Masters Association could have different meanings depending on one's hierarchy. For example, more than 90% of the members of this institution were just students who could learn in this institution and had a few benefits.

But only 1% of these professionals were part of the council, the highest group in this institution, those who governed the laws of the formation masters and controlled valuable resources.

Since it was not easy to become a council member, the people there could not help but be surprised.

Lothur looked at Annaliese and asked in a low voice. "What is this council?"

Johann heard this and almost fell on the floor due to Lothur's ignorance.

Annaliese laughed and said. "Ordinary members of this association do not have their freedoms affected and have a relationship with this organization more as student 'clients' than actual members."

"But the council members are like the core of that organization, similar to royalty in a royal family. So they can grow within this institution and eventually actually rule it. But of course, they are limited in many ways..."

Lothur listened to that carefully while the old man in front of him waited for his answer. "I see, so that's it..."
