In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

What Rod was holding was the letter of recommendation from Aru Village.

Look around.

Of the students who came to take the exam, more than 90% were from the rainforest, and the rest were mostly foreign students. Apart from Rhodes himself, he only saw a few people dressed in desert folk clothing.

Such a rare skin appearance naturally attracted the attention of those around him.

Some people pointed at Rhodes, their faces showing disdain, surprise, or a hint of curiosity.

Someone glanced at it indifferently and then turned their head away.

The few desert dwellers who seemed to have no confidence did not express any gratitude to fellow villagers after hearing these voices. They continued to stand silently in place, waiting for the examination room to open.

"It seems I'm quite popular."

After this period of training, Rhodes's ears became very sharp, and he could hear all the whispers and comments about him clearly.

The most common sound here.

This was naturally a mockery of him.

They said things like, "How dare these uncouth desert people dream of entering the Order Academy?" and "The Order Academy shouldn't even allow desert people to take the exam, it's a waste of resources."

Anyway, most people didn't say anything nice about it.

Of the remaining small group, a few were betting on how many subjects Rhodes could pass. The one who talked the most only symbolically said, "Passing two subjects would be a miracle from their family's Red King."

However, some people couldn't stand these self-important guys and reminded the Great Sage's assistant, the scholar Setare, that she was from the desert and that they shouldn't underestimate Rhodes. What if he was a desert person with amazing talent like Setare?

However, such a weak voice could not make any waves and was quickly drowned out by the tide of mockery of Rhodes.

"You've got quite the nerve. If someone said that to me, I would have already punched them."

Dixia, who came to see the examinee off, also heard these sounds.

She didn't hear as much as Rod, but a look of displeasure had already crept onto her face.

The arrogance of the rainforest people towards the desert people is not innate, but it seems to be a tacit agreement within the territory of the Church.

Even though Setare was known to the students and had the status of the Great Sage's assistant, it didn't prevent her from having a particularly comfortable situation in the Order of the Church.

"Ha ha--"

Unlike Dixia, who was clearly annoyed by the students, Rhodes laughed nonchalantly, "I was wondering if they would be furious if my grades were better than theirs."

"puff--"

Dixia, who was still angry, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard him say that.

Her laughter grew even louder when she thought of Tinari's letter of recommendation to the sage.

Fortunately, Dixia wasn't naive enough to use Rod's words to provoke so many students around her. She just patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "I'm waiting for you to slap them in the face with your report card. But don't be discouraged if you don't get a satisfactory score. After all, you've only been studying for less than a year. You'll have another chance next year."

"Ah."

"Thank you."

Rod chuckled.

At the shout of "Open the door!", he looked up at the examination room door that was slowly being pushed open, a confident smile on his face.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been afraid of everything, except exams!

Chapter 104: Perfect score! Perfect score!

The entrance exam for the Order of the Church lasts for three days.

According to the six major schools of the Academy, there are a total of six subjects to be tested, with two subjects tested each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

There are three different situations in which the admission requirements can be met.

Four subjects passed, or two subjects were excellent, or one subject was a perfect score.

Tina's intuition was correct.

If it were the old Rod, he would have had a very difficult time getting a passing grade in this year's entrance exam, except for the special admission route.

However, after being taught by Adbayi and Nasita, and given that Rhodes himself was a pragmatist who had personally practiced many of the things in the textbooks, he had a very deep understanding of the biophilosophical school.

Based on the question-setting standards of previous years.

Even if the Council of the Church increases the difficulty of the assessment for the desert people, it shouldn't be a problem for Rhodes to get a perfect score in the bio-theory.

However, this optimism did not make Rhodes overly proud.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Who knows if the Faculty of Education will go crazy this year and give a bunch of extremely difficult and abstract exam questions.

Therefore, he could not possibly place all his bets on the subject of the theory of life.

Therefore, outside of the school of thought on life.

Rhodes chose the primacy school, which he was already studying.

With the unique advantage of possessing three Eyes of God, coupled with the guidance of Narcida, the number one problem solver in all of Teyvat, Rhodes made extremely quick progress in learning the Elemental School.

Just before departure.

Nasita also conducted several simulation tests on him.

The final result.

Unless the Academy changes its rules this year or tests content beyond the curriculum, Rhodes is certain to get this spot.

"One perfect score, or two excellent scores."

This was the requirement that Rod set for himself.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was quite similar to the scene at the end of Rod's college entrance exam in his previous life.

As the students walked out of the examination hall, some were triumphant, some wept bitterly, some looked relaxed, and some had a worried expression.

Of course.

The difficulty of the examinations at the Academy of Educational Sciences.

The most common expressions were frowning and sobbing; basically, over 80% of the students had this look, including those who had previously mocked Rhodes outside the exam hall.

In contrast.

Although Rhodes wasn't exactly relaxed, he wasn't exactly frowning either.

"How about it?"

After holding it in for three days, Dixia finally asked the question.

Everyone says not to ask how the candidates did during the exams at the Academy of Educational Sciences, so as not to affect their mindset.

Therefore, Dixia never dared to ask Rodcox how he was doing, fearing that his unstable mentality would affect his performance in the next game.

"Okay."

Rod stroked his chin, still recalling the test questions he had answered before.

Judging from the discussions among the surrounding students, his exam paper was different from the one in the rainforest area, and some of the answers could not be used as a reference.

Actually.

He was in the same exam room as those desert students; they were the only few people in the entire exam room.

Even though everyone was several meters apart, the examiners were exceptionally strict in their supervision. They not only kept a close eye on their answers during the exam, but also conducted a thorough body search before they entered the exam room. They even confiscated Rhodes's Eye of God, ostensibly to prevent cheating.

Fortunately, Rhode had entrusted his Eye of Vulcan and Eye of Grass God to Desia for safekeeping before entering the examination hall, otherwise, it would have caused a huge mess.

More stringent assessment standards and stricter invigilation.

"They never intended for the desert people to have the opportunity to enter the Church."

Rhodes shook his head slightly, asking Narcida in his mind, "How did I do?"

He did not cheat in this exam.

Although theoretically he could cheat by using Nasita.

However, Rhodes himself did not want to cheat, and Narcida would not help him cheat.

Therefore, he answered all the questions based on his own genuine knowledge and skills.

It is precisely because of this.

There were a few argument questions where he wasn't sure if he could get full marks, so he had to ask Nasita, who had been watching him answer the questions.

However, Narcida's next answer made Rhodes frown slightly.

"What was the mood of the person grading the papers?"

Rod's confidence faded slightly.

This is not a good answer.

He had experienced something similar in his previous life.

Answering argumentative questions, as well as subjective questions like literary analysis and essays in Chinese and English, are all areas where mistakes are easily made.

If the graders are more lenient, the scores will be higher.

If the examiner is stricter, the score will be lower.

Rhodes was deeply impressed by this incident.

When he took the college entrance exam, his scores were all guessed; he didn't apply after the scores were released.

Moreover, the only thing you know when applying is the cutoff score.

Each school only has three choices. If you can't get into your first choice, even if your score is high enough, the school's priority for admission will be low, and you may be assigned to a major you don't want.

"call--"

Recalling the painful events of that year, Rod couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At that time, he was afraid that overestimating his score would affect his application, so his predicted scores for subjective questions were calculated according to the strictest standards of the examiners.
