They sat obediently in the seats marked with their candidate numbers. There were a total of three teachers supervising them. Two women were responsible for distributing the test papers.
The other, a bearded man with a receding hairline, quickly scanned each candidate, watching for any whispering to prevent collusion and cheating.
The ACT exam, also known as the American College Testing, is held six times a year in North America. Students can register to take it as long as they feel they are ready.
If they are not satisfied with their previous scores, they can delete them and retake the test. It is a relatively fair type of exam, preventing students from staking their entire future on a single test. Each person can take the ACT twelve times in their life, a number more than sufficient for high school students to use.
The first test was English. Forty-five minutes, four passages, seventy-five multiple-choice questions. Only after the examiner announced the start of the test did he open the sealed paper.
The English test is different from the Chinese test. Each word can represent different meanings in different articles and sentences, requiring students to master enough vocabulary and have a sufficient sense of language.
However, this was no difficulty for Link. He finished in twenty minutes, using the remaining time to check his answers. After confirming everything was correct, bored, Link opened his attribute panel.

Strength, Agility, and Constitution, these three attributes, based on experience points, have far exceeded ordinary people. Intelligence goes without saying. As for Perception and Charm, these two attributes are really difficult to improve, especially Perception. Many methods have limited effect on its improvement, so it has fallen behind.
Of course, in terms of current practicality, the role of Perception is also not significant, so Link is not in a hurry.
He didn't have to wait long. As soon as the forty-five minutes were up, the math test began. Sixty multiple-choice math questions to be completed within sixty minutes, choosing the correct one from five options.
These questions were extremely simple for Link. Seeing the question, glancing at the answers, he could almost instantly choose the correct one.
Perhaps other students needed a calculator to assist with calculations, but with Link's current level, the calculations involved in the test paper could be done entirely through mental arithmetic.
Many top mathematicians' mental calculation abilities are even comparable to computers to a certain extent. In comparison, Link's skill is still far behind.
In just a moment, the math questions were all cleared, leaving Link idle again. It could only be said that with Link's current level, taking this exam was a bit unfair to ordinary students.
The SAT and ACT exams were only two days apart. After finishing both tests, Link felt confident about his scores, so he decided to take a few extra days off to relax.
The day after the exams, Lena called Link. After Link transferred schools, several girls he knew from Lola High School had kept in touch with him, and most of them knew he had been busy with exams these past few days.
To prevent Link from being booked in advance, Lena had invited him to this party before the exams.
Because of this, shortly after finishing dinner on the day the exams ended, he heard a car horn outside. Link glanced out the window and got up to leave.
Before he even reached the door, he heard Robert ask, "Link, where are you going?"
"There's a party tonight. Uh, don't worry, I'm prepared with protection."
Robert paused, then raised an eyebrow. "Heh, well, I won't wait up for you. Oh, by the way, I still have some lubricant. Do you want any?"
Link replied, "No need, I'm more experienced than you."
Robert immediately glared. "Get lost! You haven't even fully grown yet, and you want to compare yourself to me?"
After getting his driver's license two months ago, Robert had bought Link a used car. However, since Lena had arrived in a sports car, there was no need for Link to drive his old Ford.
Speaking of which, after transferring to Wilmott Academy for Gifted Children, his income from tutoring Lena was gone, but his miscellaneous expenses hadn't decreased.
Fortunately, participating in school activities, like the previous camping trip, and receiving a bonus after winning an award in the Math Olympiad class recently, had kept Link's small savings from shrinking.
But buying a car was still a significant expense for Link. Since Robert was paying, and also because both Elizabeth and Link had scholarships for college, the family's finances were a bit more comfortable, and Link was happy to save that part of the expense.
Lena gave Link a very passionate kiss. Since Link transferred schools, she had been extremely enthusiastic every time they met.
This party was being held at the house of a classmate named Dart. His family was well-off; his father was in meat wholesale and had connections with distributors in several large cities, making their income absolutely top-tier in this small town.
Therefore, Dart's house was considered large even in Texas, where bigger is better. It was a three-story main building with a total area of nearly a thousand square meters.
There were also spacious lawns in the front and back where you could play soccer, as well as a garden. They had even specially transplanted several large trees into the yard, making the entire property look very beautiful.
Behind the house was a swimming pool fifty meters long and twenty meters wide. Link and Lena arrived at exactly 6:45 PM, neither too early nor too late.
At this kind of party, as long as someone brought you, or even if you snuck in by yourself, it was acceptable.
Lena parked the car on a road a little further away, then let Link put his arm around her as they entered the courtyard. Soon, they heard various noisy sounds. Under a large tree not far away, they could see several girls in hot pants and tank tops laughing on swings.
In this scene, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that long legs were everywhere. However, most of the girls had tanned skin, as the sun in Texas is very strong, and girls who enjoy outdoor activities usually have healthy, tanned skin.
The hot spot for the party tonight was the pool. The rooms in the house were reserved for couples who needed a little privacy.
Near the pool, there were people playing, chasing each other, chatting, flirting, and eating, drinking, and having fun.
Not far away, on a specially built small stage, a bikini-clad female DJ with a prominent chest and buttocks was swaying her head and body, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere with the lights and two speakers.
Perhaps noticing Link, several girls quickly gathered around. Seeing the sparkle in their eyes, if they hadn't been mindful of Lena being nearby, they might have already pounced on him.
Sensing that she couldn't let Link stay here for long, Lena directly pulled Link upstairs. After checking several bedrooms and finding them occupied, the two of them simply went up to the attic on the top floor. There was a small rooftop here, overlooking the swimming pool from above.
After finally finding a suitable spot, Lena immediately wrapped her arms around Link's neck, gave a little jump, and wrapped her legs around his waist, leaning down to give him a deep kiss.
They whispered sweet nothings to each other, and their actions became more unrestrained and accelerated.
Just then, a commotion came from the swimming pool below, and it wasn't the sound of cheering or even fighting. The tone seemed more serious.
Link looked down. From this angle, he could just see a girl in a bikini lying on the ground, with another girl performing CPR on her.
Before, he wouldn't have been able to see the girl's face clearly, but with his current enhanced five senses, he recognized the girl lying down as Mira, the school's cheerleading captain.
After all, she was a girl he had previously tutored, so he had some impression of her.
This made Link frown. As he looked around, he saw a figure in a certain part of the pool area who, unlike most people who were crowding towards the commotion, was walking away and disappearing into the darkness.
