Entrance Assessment (Please vote)

When the alarm rang in the morning, Eichi rolled over and got out of bed. He went downstairs to wash up.

After he finished washing up, Beedrill was also ready and waiting for breakfast.

Eichi first prepared Beedrill's breakfast: upgraded MooMoo Milk, honey, Pokémon food, and Pokéblocks.

Once Eichi had prepared the meal, Beedrill silently began eating.

Then he prepared his own breakfast. While doing so, he suddenly noticed the note his father had left in the kitchen.

It read: "I've gone to work. Good luck with today's assessment."

Eichi smiled knowingly and murmured, "Good luck!"

After breakfast, Eichi gathered his exam supplies and headed out.

The weather was exceptionally clear today. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a car approaching from nearby.

Eichi turned his head and saw Teacher Arno driving over in an SUV.

Teacher Arno stopped beside Eichi and coolly said, "Get in!"

"Sure!" Eichi replied.

With that, he nimbly opened the door and got in.

Teacher Arno smiled. "Hold on tight!"

He started the SUV, and it shot forward like an unbridled wild horse.

After driving for around ten minutes, they finally arrived in Tokiwa City.

Teacher Arno slowed down and began chatting with Eichi.

Teacher Arno asked, "Did you prepare everything?"

Eichi replied, "Everything's ready."

Teacher Arno asked, "How did your revision go?"

Eichi smiled. "Not bad!"

"I see! Then do your best!"

Silver School's assessment was divided into three days. The first two days were written exams, while the final day was a practical assessment.

They arrived at the examination venue, Tokiwa Academy.

Tokiwa Academy was located north of the commercial district, right beside a residential area.

The school had specifically given its students two days off so it could arrange examination rooms for Silver Academy's entrance assessment.

There were quite a few people taking the exam, but their numbers still could not compare to the college entrance examinations in Eichi's previous life.

Some examinees came from the same schools and gathered in small groups to chat.

Only Eichi and Teacher Arno stood alone in a corner.

Teacher Arno told Eichi that more than ten students from their school had come to take the exam, though they had been brought here by other teachers.

Eichi was a special case, so Teacher Arno had come to pick him up. Naturally, Eichi had no intention of seeking out his classmates either; he was not familiar with them.

When the time came, all the examinees entered the examination hall.

Eichi looked up at Tokiwa Academy's gate. It was so solemn, imposing, and towering.

Eichi walked in with determination.

Tokiwa Academy had an enormous main teaching building. Its design was extremely conspicuous, making it easy to find.

Following the examination room number on his admission ticket, Eichi found his room.

He placed his backpack in a locker outside the room and entered with only a pen and his admission ticket.

After entering, he passed the invigilator's search and found his seat.

After waiting for a while, the invigilator began handing out the test papers. He showed everyone that the papers had not been opened.

Then he distributed them. After receiving his paper, Eichi gave it a quick once-over.

Once he had a general grasp of it, he began writing. The questions were somewhat difficult—very difficult for everyone else.

But for Eichi, they were merely somewhat difficult.

Of course, everyone knew Eichi was very modest. When he said something was somewhat difficult, it was actually extremely easy for him.

He finished in an hour, but he was in no rush to hand it in. After checking it two or three times and confirming there were no problems—

Eichi began observing the other examinees. Sitting next to him was a cute, round-faced girl.

However, her expression was anything but cute right now.

Her face was full of anxiety, her lips tightly pressed together. She looked as though she were about to cry.

Looking around at the others, they were all scratching their heads in frustration. It seemed everyone found the exam difficult!

Then Eichi stood up to hand in his paper.

Papers could be handed in half an hour after the exam began.

When the others saw Eichi submit his paper, their faces filled with shock as they stared at him in disbelief.

A few looked disdainful, believing the questions had been too difficult and that Eichi had given up early.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Eichi handed in his paper and walked out.

Teacher Arno, who had been waiting in a corner, suddenly saw Eichi coming downstairs. But one look at Eichi's expression told him that everything had gone smoothly.

The other parents and teachers all turned their attention to Eichi after seeing him come out.

They began guessing who Eichi was. Only those from Eichi's school were not surprised at all when they saw him.

They all believed Eichi had that kind of ability. Eichi walked over to Teacher Arno.

Teacher Arno asked, "What did you think?"

Eichi replied, "It was okay. A little difficult."

"That's good. Let's head home! There's another exam this afternoon."

Teacher Arno then took Eichi home. There was still an afternoon exam to attend.

After Eichi left, once the exam was over and the others had looked over their papers, they wailed in misery. This exam had been too difficult, and many had not even finished it.

At that moment, many people thought of Eichi, the first person to leave the examination room.

After returning home, Eichi went back to his room to continue revising.

In the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived. The weather had not changed and remained clear.

Teacher Arno arrived on time again to take Eichi to the examination venue.

That afternoon, Eichi once again finished quickly, just as he had in the morning. After checking that there were no problems, he handed in his paper and left.

The other examinees in the room began to panic. Why was it this guy again?

This paper was obviously difficult. How had he finished it so quickly?

To avoid affecting themselves, many comforted themselves by thinking that Eichi simply could not answer the questions and had chosen to give up.

Outside the examination hall, Eichi was once again the only person to emerge from the teaching building.

Everyone was stunned. Judging from the morning's reactions, this exam was the hardest in history.

It was already impressive if anyone could finish it, yet someone had actually handed in their paper early. Everyone began asking around for information about Eichi.

Teacher Arno did not say anything when he saw Eichi come out. He simply took him home.

The two days of written exams quickly passed. During those two days, Eichi was the first to leave every examination room.

Then Eichi became famous. Everyone knew there was an academic genius who left early in every exam.

Every time he came downstairs, he was the first one out. People began asking around about Eichi.

Then information about Eichi spread: ordinary family background, super academic genius, gifted young man, and more.

After the two days of written exams ended, the results would not be released for another week.

For students from poor families, if they ranked in the top thirty in the written exams and also passed the practical assessment—

They could apply to Silver Academy for a Pokémon Egg.

Silver Academy would have someone deliver it to their home. Of course, it was not free.

The price of receiving a Pokémon Egg was that the student had to give Silver Academy one descendant of their strongest Pokémon in the future.

So Silver Academy did not lose out at all; it profited greatly. Of course, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Furthermore, the Pokémon provided by Silver Academy would certainly have excellent potential.

For those from ordinary families, this was an exceptionally good opportunity.

Eichi did not count. He was a special case—who could have known he was so capable?

He had picked up an Egg as soon as he went out, then a few days later made a fortune by taking away a large batch of Berries while Fearow and Pidgeot were fighting over territory.

He did not need to worry about resources at all.
