“So all the big shots will be taking part in my exam?”
I asked in intrigue as I kept walking along with my teacher, he nodding his head at my words as he spoke.
“Your case, as spoken before, is a bit special, and all those olden folks crazy with wanting to know more are obsessed with wanting to take part in your exam.”
Hearing my teacher’s words laden with his own excitement at tackling my exam, I just smiled, keeping my calm. After all, it’s something to be expected, moreover, it’s very common for the best high-ranking teacher to take in one or two of his own special students that shall inherit his or her techniques or style.
As said before, the academy has a lot of powerful teachers and more coming to join and teach, many seduced by the advantages of teaching here, while some come here seeking for their students to inherit their teachings. After all, the best of the best in the world come here to learn, thus creating a perfect cycle of great teachers and students.
In my case, when I joined, I had a lot of teachers, both old and new, strong and stronger, coming to meet me to have me be taken in as their special student. But I had denied them, and after the news of me being Eleanor’s student came out, none of the teachers dreamed about coming close to me to give me their teachings.
Heck, there are a lot of powerful Imperials within the academy hidden, some people of legends, ones that had spread their tales far and wide, those powerful people when they reach the end of their life and have no association with any power would come to the academy, being its protectors and its teachers. Though the teachings of the Imperials are very rare and only given to the best of the best.
Of course, these Imperials too get some advantages coming here. Though the clout of that is only known to the ones that join here, plus they have to sign a shitload of death contracts, minimizing their movements within the academy. After all, no king or Emperor can send their kids here when literally walking nuclear bombs that can kill with a thought roam free.
Even though Mira has some restrictions placed heavily on her, but due to the covering of her teacher, Mira is mainly fine. Thus lost in my thoughts, I, along with my teachers, entered inside a room, one fully white, with a single table and chair in the middle of the room, nothing else surrounds the room, making it look quite desolate.
‘Though it’s very clean.’
Losing myself in useless thoughts, my teacher spoke.
“This will be where the first part of your exam, the written test, shall be taking place, and this is a room specially built for your exams.”
“Just how bad do you think I will copy?”
I asked with an amused smile to which a wry smile filled my teacher’s face as he spoke.
“You are the biggest enigma in the academy, not to mention your current worth to the whole world. None of us knows the full extent of everything you can do, so we can’t help but be too cautious.”
Hearing his reply, I smiled as I started to look through the room, my teacher’s voice filling my ears.
“There are a lot of people watching you, but they have hidden their presence so that you won’t be too distracted during your exams.”
‘Well, you don’t have to tell me twice that.’
I thought as I felt all the presence around the room, the majority of them being present within the Origin level 10. I can even detect 2 Imperials, while there are some more weaker teachers. But I cab feel their life presence and aura that I had come to learn, I can tell that these less powerful teachers are more of the academics present here and very powerful ones too.
Thanks to my special blessings from Orpheus, I have the special ability to distinguish unique life signatures from people. No matter how great the disguise, once I have marked your life signature, there is nothing in this world that can hide a person from me.
Hence within a few seconds, I have already made sense of all the people within the room, thus giving a nod to my teacher. I walked to the center of the needlessly clean white room as I sat on my chair, my eyes trailing towards the pens and such kept on the table.
“Ready?”
A voice whispered into my ear to which I nodded my head, and just as I did, a paper placed itself on my table while the same voice was heard again.
“You have about 5 hours, and we all wish you luck.”
With that, the voice turned silent, while I took up the question paper. The question paper itself is based on the topics I had selected for my written exams. After all, the 18th year is the one focused on self-growth and understanding. Thus I had chosen for myself some very interesting yet convenient topics that I can score perfectly on.
‘Um… let me see…’

‘Wow, this is some complex shit.’
I mused as I finished reading the question paper. Either the person who created this has a grudge against me, or the marking at which the teachers of Babylon place me is on a very, very high pedestal.
Because the questions they wrote are all on the topics I chose, but the difficulty is on the level of either graduated academics or great philosophers. Not only that, there are some special extra questions asked from outside my syllabus, ones of great mark and time, all of them enough to make a high-achieving student faint with bubbles coming out of his or her mouth.
‘Though it will be funny to beat them all at their own game.’
While I read the question, I had kept a completely calm expression, not giving anything away to these crazy teachers who wanted to unearth things from me.
‘Well, not even they would think I have a system with me.’
A system capable of storing any information and seems to know more about this world than anyone.
‘Damn, I wish I had you during my school and college days…’
[Then what the hell do you plan to do when you get a job?]
‘Well, even at that time, won’t I have you?’
I asked with a grin.
[Flattery will get you nowhere.]
‘Well, it did get me into the pussies of the most powerful women in the world.’
[…]
‘What cat caught your tongue?’
[You do know your passing depends on me, right?]
‘…..’
‘Boss…?’

[A bit too much.]
‘Umm… don’t hide, I know that would have gotten me into your panties if you had one!’
[….]
[Shutting down…..]
‘No! I will be good!’
