After the first exam, the invigilators collected the exam papers and then arranged for all the students to wait in the waiting room.
Before the second practical assessment, candidates who passed the written test need to undergo a physical examination. Only those who pass the physical examination can proceed to the next assessment.
When Xie Ji came out, Lu Xunji was already leaning against the fence outside. When Xie Ji looked up and saw him, he couldn't help but quicken his pace and run over.
" Lu Xunji!" Xie Ji greeted him politely, "How did the exam go?"
Lu Xunji lowered his eyelids. "So-so."
Xie Ji curled his lip. Although he knew that the "average" in the mouth of a top student was not to be trusted, he still embarrassed himself and said, "So modest, huh?"
Lu Xunji glanced at him. "The question is so-so."
Xie Ji: "..."
He even showed his contempt for the teacher who set the exam questions.
Look, this man in front of you is called Xiao Shuai, the empire's only top scholar, a narcissistic individual, and a pretentious high-ranking jerk.
The results of the written test came out quickly; out of the more than thirty candidates, only the top ten achieved a passing score.
Lu Xunji was undoubtedly number one, even his war strategy was perfect.
Xie Ji ranked sixth.
After all, the types of questions he could answer were limited, and he was completely clueless about the last question, which required writing a war strategy essay in English. After struggling for a long time, he was too embarrassed to write "hello, my name is xieji...", so he simply wrote down the extremely long English sentence that Lu Xunji had taught him over the past three days.
Lu Xunji glanced at the rankings, and while waiting for the physical exam, he touched Xie Ji's earlobe and told him, "Baby, you're amazing."
Xie Ji puffed out his chest, shaking his head with delight at the praise, "Of course! Please, I'm super strong! English is no problem for me at all! Hmph!"
Lu Xunji looked down at him, swallowed hard, and considering the large number of people around, didn't do anything to Xie Ji. He just reached out and rubbed his face against Xie Ji's.
After the results were released, most of the candidates left the waiting room, leaving only the last ten people to undergo physical examinations.
Xie Ji went in and had two vials of blood drawn. He sat outside with Lu Xunji to wait for the results of their medical examinations.
Half an hour later, three more of the remaining ten people left because they failed the medical examination.
The military academy instructors looked at Lu Xunji's medical examination report, exchanged glances, coughed, and began a silent battle.
"According to the medical examination report, all his physical indicators are close to perfect, but... he seems to have a history of mental illness?"
"Does the Imperial Military Academy have any rules about excluding mentally ill students?"
"In fact, I do think he's more suited to doing scientific research with Zhuang Huan. That guy's IQ test results are simply phenomenal. The lab might be his paradise. Why not come to our Mecha Development Department? We can collaborate with Imperial University of Science and Technology and Technology."
"That bookworm's abacus beads hit my face!"
"Why should he? His reaction time and energy are more than enough to make him an excellent battlefield commander. I don't care if he's mentally ill or not; if you don't want him, I'll take him! The command department desperately needs someone like him!"
"Don't send him to the command department, let him come to our mecha maintenance team, I think this kid has a lot of talent..."
"If that's the case, I think he's quite good at arguing. Why doesn't he come to our individual combat department and learn mecha piloting..."
"He's the only precious gem in the entire galaxy. You want him to pilot a mech with a roughneck like you? Get lost! I think our command department is a better fit for him!"
"Humans are prone to mental illnesses. How can you expect to master your battlefield psychology? Why don't you join our mech infantry team? After killing enough people, even the most fussy psychological issues will be cured!"
Lu Xunji was unaware of the fierce competition among the professors from the various departments of the military academy. Seeing Xie Ji come out with the test report, he readily extended his hand. "Let me see it."
"..." Xie Ji leaned back slightly and said, "This is my privacy."
Lu Xunji narrowed his eyes slightly. "You won't let me see?"
Xie Ji muttered something and shoved the medical report into Lu Xunji's hand, "Here you go, I'm starving. Let's find somewhere to eat. The second assessment is tomorrow. Go back and rest."
Lu Xunji looked at Xie Ji's medical examination report. Bian Tai's desire for control was satisfied. He glanced down at it, paused, and then glanced down at Xie Ji's lower body.
Xie Ji Jimin pointed at him and said, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing," Lu Xunji said calmly. "It's a normal size, there's no need to feel inferior."
"Damn it, who's insecure here?!" Xie Ji jumped up and grabbed Lu Xunji by the neck. "Not everyone is as gifted as you, okay?! You're the one who's too overpowered!"
"Hmm." Lu Xunji seemed to chuckle and said, "Very cute."
Xie Ji: "You wait, I'll kill you right now. I hate you."
Lu Xunji continued looking at his medical report and grunted, "Iron deficiency."
Xie Ji followed behind him, swaying slightly. He couldn't understand the medical report, which was just a bunch of data; as long as he passed, that was fine.
"How about I make you some pork liver soup for lunch?" Lu Xunji glanced at him. "To nourish Xie Little Ji."
"Remove the 'small' part, thank you." Xie Ji sensitively interjected, "Whatever, I'll eat anything."
The two walked out of the examination hall side by side and saw Mu Yao Ji Shi Zhou Heyu already waiting at the door in their Imperial Military Academy uniforms.
Ji Shi saw Xie Ji, he rushed over, grabbed his shoulders and shook him. " Xie Little Ji! You've never listened to me! Didn't I tell you not to come?!"
"Hey, stop shaking me!" Xie Ji couldn't help but kick him. "You guys can go up, but I can't? Standing in front of you now is: Xie Big Ji sixth in the written test! Thank you!"
"Big my foot!" Ji Shi pinched Xie Ji's cheek angrily. "What if you mess up in the second exam?!"
Mu Yao clicked his tongue and slapped Ji Shi's hand away. "Don't pinch his cheek."
Xie Ji rubbed his sore cheeks. "What are you afraid of? My brother is here."
Lu Xunji stood behind him, silent and not saying a word.
Zhou Heyu stepped forward, paused for a moment, and slowly said, "Be careful in the second round, don't get hurt. I'll be waiting for you outside the examination hall."
"Okay, I got it." Xie Ji walked side by side with Zhou Heyu: "You're the best, Little Zhou. Come on, let's find somewhere to eat."
"He's doing well, but I'm not?" Mu Yao snorted behind him. "And I went to all that trouble to smooth things over for you."
Xie Ji poured water. "It's alright for you, it's alright for you."
Although the three young masters had just enrolled, they were all prominent figures at the military academy. Dressed in their crisp school uniforms, they surrounded Xie Ji as they walked through the examination hall to a nearby restaurant for a meal, a sight witnessed by many students.
[Holy crap, I knew Xie Ji was no ordinary person. These three must have high status in the Imperial Business Circle, bowing and scraping before him. Holy crap, just who is this blond guy?]
[To deduce sixth place using the I Ching in the exam hall—can his background be ordinary? And judging from his interaction with the top scorer, their relationship seems quite ambiguous.]
[You can tell just by looking at that face; she's probably slept with countless men.]
[So what if I'm pretty? Just because I'm pretty doesn't mean I should be the target of ugly people like you spreading rumors about me.]
[ Xie Ji's grades are really hard to describe; it feels a bit unfair to the other students.]
[How is it unfair? It says cheating is prohibited, but it doesn't say anything about not being able to do things! This is an oversight in the Imperial Special Examination, not Xie Ji, thank you.]
[I'm raising the banner for blondie, let's see who dares to oppose him! Little blondie, charge! Once you get into military academy, your sister will steal the core from the mecha repair department next door to support you! Let's give these stinky straight men a real shock with their heartthrob charm!]
--
Alright! Everyone stand up! Let's give everyone a round of applause!
Thank you everyone for the little gifts. They were small, but there were so many of them, hahaha.
It's reached 100 again.
I'll add more chapters later.
