Once, I wanted to be a good person

Even Qing Ya, who had painstakingly tutored him last night, had arrived.

Today, she was wearing a stylish black skirt, a white blouse, and a pair of glasses without lenses. She smiled gently at him and mouthed the words "good luck."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Fang Ze smiled back and nodded slightly.

Turning his gaze away, Fang Ze looked around until it settled on the "Master" in the center of the room.

He straightened up and said politely, "Mentor, I'm here for the exam!"

Upon hearing his words, the "Master" also stood up.

She looked at Fang Ze and said, "Many people are aware of your request to take the exam early."

"To avoid any claims of favoritism or cheating, I have invited several mentors to oversee your exam."

"The theoretical exam will cover three subjects, with one hundred questions each. They include multiple-choice, true or false, and fill-in-the-blank. All the questions will be on basic knowledge and content."

"There won't be any tricky or complex questions, so you can rest assured."

"However, for this reason, only scores above 95 will be considered passing."

"After all, once you join us, every moment of negligence could lead to irreversible harm to yourself or your companions."

After listening to the "Master" explain the exam details, Fang Ze nodded and replied, "Yes, Mentor!"

Seeing Fang Ze's agreement, the Master gestured for him to sit and then placed a Law Prohibition on the table.

Then, she showed the test paper to the several mentors to confirm there was no issue before handing it to Fang Ze.

As the exam began, the attention of everyone, be it the mentors in the office or the observers outside, was drawn to Fang Ze.

Then... one minute, two minutes, three minutes...

For a whole five minutes, Fang Ze didn't make a single move, not even attempting a question.

Both the observing mentors and the students outside were clueless about what was happening.

Could it be... he couldn't do it?

Everything seemed clear during the study, but during the exam, everything was unrecognizable?

For a moment, many mentors and students didn't know how to describe what they were feeling.

Disappointment? Understanding? Schadenfreude? Or shattered illusions?

And just when everyone was speculating wildly, suddenly, Fang Ze raised his hand.

As soon as they saw his hand go up, all eyes were instantly upon him.

The "Master," who had been somewhat disappointed seeing Fang Ze's inactivity, now eagerly looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Ze said with an embarrassed expression, "Mentor, I know this is indeed my fault."

"That's why I didn't dare to say anything until now."

"Can I... borrow a pen?"

"Master": ...

Mentors inside the room: ...

Observing students outside: ...

In the midst of everyone's speechlessness, a gentle voice said, "Here you go."

Fang Ze looked up and saw Qing Ya smiling at him with crescent eyes, handing him a pen.

With a smile, Fang Ze took the pen and said, "Thank you, Mentor."

Armed with a pen, Fang Ze's performance was like a surge of energy, and he began to answer the questions at lightning speed.

The power of Void Eye's photographic memory, unimpeded by Law Prohibition, meant no issue for Fang Ze.

Quickly, one test paper was completed, then the second, the third...

After finishing all the papers, Fang Ze placed the pen on the table.

He then smiled and said, "Mentor, I've finished."

The "Master" checked the time; only 15 minutes had passed, including the initial three minutes Fang Ze had spent idle.

300 questions in 12 minutes?

Leaving accuracy aside, that speed was truly fast!

While mulling this over, the "Master" nodded and said, "Alright. You can go back and rest now. We will correct your papers and notify you of the exam results as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Mentor," Fang Ze said gratefully, then strode out of the office.

The observing students neatly stepped aside to let him pass, then resumed their watchful wait at the office door for the results.

Because there were many mentors proctoring the exam, the grading process was swift.

Still, to ensure accuracy, two mentors reviewed each paper.

Sure enough, the results were quickly announced.

300 questions. All correct!

Not a single error!

The mentors in the office were still surprised when they heard the results!

Though it wasn't unheard of for students to get perfect scores in the training center exams after months of study and countless revisions of the material,

Fang Ze... had only been at the training center for a few days?

And he was so active in those days!

Still, he found time to study and revise?

Could it be that there truly are those who are born with knowledge, or who never forget what they've seen once?

The news quickly spread from the mentors to many students as they left.

When they learned that Fang Ze indeed hadn't attended classes and self-studied for just a few days before passing the exam, everyone was rather stunned!

And combining this with Fang Ze's admission yesterday that he had advanced to an intermediate Awakener,

everyone belatedly realized: the conditions set by the higher-ups at the Security Bureau to give Fang Ze a hard time seemed to have been nearly fulfilled by him inadvertently?

If he could just take one more step and become a high-level Awakener, he would officially join the Security Bureau.

And... let's not forget, he still had a significant case nearly wrapped up with great merit to his name.

Maybe... upon joining the Security Bureau, he would directly become a Commissioner? Or even… head of a department?

While everyone was still astonished by Fang Ze's performance,

at that moment, a long convoy of cars slowly pulled up to the entrance of the Emerald City Security Bureau.

The convoy stopped, the doors opened, and a woman wearing glasses and a uniform, all business and no smiles, stepped out of the car slowly.
