"You're pretty good with your shield!" Drillmaster Cooper's face looked a little better. He was worried about Abel the most. He had missed too many lessons, so it would be hard for him to pass the final exam. However, Abel was from a Knight family and had learned the skills of a Knight, which made it a lot easier for him to pass the exam.
The result of the exam was directly linked to Drillmaster Cooper's merit points. Every year, there would only be a 3% elimination rate. If there were more people who failed the exam, the drillmaster's merit points would be deducted. However, if there were more people who passed the exam, the drillmaster's merit points would be increased.
These merit points would be converted into war glory in the end, and war glory would be combined with a title and land. For a head Knight, a title and land was the best inheritance he could leave for his family.
Head Knights were not wizards, so they did not live as long as wizards. Therefore, war glory was very precious to a head Knight, and that was why Drillmaster Cooper was so angry.
In the next few days, Abel's life was getting better. Since Drillmaster Cooper had tested his ability and knew he could use a light long sword and a round shield, he did not give him a hard time.
Since the exam would start in a few days, the 2 head Knight Drillmasters met in the training camp's office at night.
"Layard, the exam will start in a few days. I wonder how many of these wizards will pass!" Said Drillmaster Cooper with a sigh.
Although the annual Wizard Battlefield Training Mission had a lot of rewards, it was not easy to get. Only head Knight commanders could accept the mission because only head Knight commanders had the power to suppress the beginner wizards.
The beginner wizards' bodies were a big problem. Although Drillmaster Cooper had been supervising them for the past 3 months, their bodies were too weak. Some of their movements were not good enough, so it was inevitable that they would have problems during the exam.
"I will be the examiner for this batch of training. With my 30 years of service in Miracle City, I think I can pass!" Said Drillmaster Layard with a smile as he looked at Drillmaster Cooper's worried face.
"You know you can't go easy in the exam. Once they find out, you'll be in big trouble!" Drillmaster Cooper said in a deep voice.
Normally, the examiner would not be a drill sergeant. Instead, a head commander would be selected to be the examiner. Of course, this did not mean that drill sergeants were not allowed to be examiners, but it might cause some controversy.
Drillmaster Layard smiled and said, "Cooper, although I can't go easy as an examiner, I can still control the passing rate to a certain extent!"
"Layard, have you made up your mind?" Drillmaster Cooper asked.
Drillmaster Layard smiled, "I've thought about it. Don't worry, the results of this batch of wizards are not bad. I'll control my strength and let an outsider be the examiner. It would be troublesome if half of them failed like the previous batch!"
"Layard, are you hiding something from me? Why did you volunteer to be an examiner?" Drillmaster Cooper had been Drillmaster Layard's comrade for many years, so he was a little confused about Drillmaster Layard's strange behavior.
"You don't know me. I'm leaving Miracle City soon. I want to get as much war glory as I can and do something for my family!" Drillmaster Layard replied with a smile.
"Ok, since you've made up your mind, I'll accept your request. I'm sure it will be approved as soon as I report it!" Drillmaster Cooper stood up with a relaxed smile and left the meeting room.
A strange expression emerged on Drillmaster Layard's face as he watched Drillmaster Cooper leave.
Soon, it was the day of the exam. There were 15 laps of running in the morning. As long as they finished in time, they would be fine.
Since all the wizards knew the examiner was Drillmaster Layard, they were very excited. He was very easy to talk to, and his requirements were not strict.
"K3516, are you ready?" K3515 whispered to Abel before the exam.
"Ready for what?" Abel asked in confusion.
"Magic items, of course. Also, with your stamina, it doesn't matter if you have magic items or not!" K3515 slapped his head and laughed.
"How can you use magic items? Aren't you afraid of being found out?" Abel looked around and asked in a soft voice.
As far as Abel knew, anyone who cheated in this exam would be kicked out. Preparing a magic item in advance like k3515 was definitely a serious form of cheating.
"It shouldn't be a problem. The examiner this time is Drillmaster Layard. He is famous for being easy to talk to!" K3515 said in a carefree manner.
"K3515, I know your results. As long as you focus on this simple test, you will definitely pass. Why do you want to take the risk of cheating? If you are found out, you will be punished severely!" Abel had been with k3515 for a few days, so they had a bit of a friendship.
K3515 hesitated for a bit. To be honest, he did not want to use magic items to cheat at first. However, there had been a rumor going around that Drillmaster Layard was going to leave Miracle City. This would be his last time as an examiner, so he would go easy on him.
He wanted to have more combat power before he left, so he would turn a blind eye during the exam.
After a few wizards had heard about this rumor, Drillmaster Layard was indeed going to leave Miracle City. This made a few wizards who were not confident in themselves very happy. That was why they wanted to use magic items.
Drillmaster Layard was a Grand Knight anyway, so he was not very sensitive to magic items. As long as he did not look closely, he would not be found out.
"K3516, I'll listen to you. I will follow you during the exam, so you have to lead me." K3515 put away his magic items and said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll lead the way for you!" Abel also smiled.
"Everyone get ready, the exam is about to begin!" Said Drillmaster Layard with his military card in his hand.
Since he had accepted the task of being an examiner, his military card had opened up some functions. It had a timer function, a video recording function, and could communicate with the spirit of Miracle City at any time.
Abel and k3515 stood at the starting line, and the rest of the wizards also stood up. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. This was the first exam after 3 months of training. If they failed, they would be kicked out of Miracle City. It would be a huge stain on their wizard career.
Drillmaster Cooper stood outside the training field. He was also paying close attention to the exam that was about to begin.
"Begin!" Said Drillmaster Layard loudly. At the same time, he turned on the timer function of his military card and the video recording function. From now on, the video recording function would be turned on until the end of the last exam.
All the wizards started to run. Abel was not in a hurry. Instead, he ran in front of k3515 as promised. This kind of leading task was very taxing on the stamina of the person in the front. All the resistance would be taken care of by the person in the front, so the rest would have an easier time.
Soon, Abel ran to the front of the team. He did not have any selfish thoughts. It would be best if he could lead everyone through this kind of easy exam. There was no competition, and there was no limit to the number of people who could pass.
Therefore, when he ran to the front of the team, the rest of the wizards automatically formed a straight line and followed him.
Outside of the training field, Drillmaster Cooper had a slight smile on his face. Although he wanted Abel to help everyone during the exam, he didn't say it out loud because it would be rude. As a drillmaster, he couldn't force Abel to do something he didn't want to do. But now, it seemed like Abel was very considerate. It seemed like with his help, the first exam wouldn't be difficult at all.
Abel had been running at a constant speed for 15 laps. This was all for the wizards behind him. Otherwise, he would have finished the exam long ago.
Actually, Abel's timing was even more accurate than Drillmaster Layard's military card. The world stone fragment had given him an extremely accurate calculation ability. With this kind of speed, it would be no problem for him to pass the exam.
