On the day the entrance exam began, Fang Li noticed something was off the moment he entered the examination hall.
It was not something visible on the surface, merely a sense of incongruity.
In that examination hall, whether it was the teachers proctoring the written exam or the staff conducting the interviews, they all gave Fang Li the impression of being overly formulaic, as though they merely wanted to go through the motions.
So, Fang Li had a thought.
That was...
"This school doesn't value its entrance exam at all, does it?"
That was the conclusion Fang Li reached at the time.
"If they truly valued the entrance exam, then the proctors and interviewers wouldn't have been so lax, nor would the atmosphere have felt so strange. Perhaps even they themselves hadn't realized that they were only there to go through the motions."
Perhaps, in the beginning, those proctors and interviewers had been very serious about their work.
But the school's lack of regard for the entrance exam had caused those proctors and interviewers to relax in their duties as well.
As a result, the sense of incongruity in that setting could not be shaken.
And Advanced Nurturing High School was an exceptionally special talent-training institution in this country.
The entrance exam for such a school should have been extremely rigorous, perhaps even harsh.
Yet the atmosphere in the examination hall had been so lax and strange.
How could that not have drawn Fang Li's attention?
"So, I conducted an experiment."
Fang Li said something astonishing.
"I handed in a blank written exam and skipped the interview entirely."
Yet the result of doing so was that Fang Li had still been accepted.
That alone was enough to prove that the school did not value the entrance exam at all.
