Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 286 - 281: Strange Divine Academy 26

When Josh and she exchanged the Divine Light, then merged together and released it, sure enough, all the monsters began to fear their Divine Light.

That’s how she managed to break through the encirclement with Erin.

The broadcast they heard differed from the one in the campus.

Theirs said, "Congratulations on completing the second stage of sharing; you have become trustworthy good friends."

Josh remembered the first stage also involved friendship, testing the trust between her and Erin.

The second stage tested their sharing abilities.

The third stage is still unknown.

But she could roughly guess it related to friendship.

With each completed stage, Erin became a bit more normal by her side.

Josh had a bit of a headache; she preferred a malicious little monster to a little saint.

At least she didn’t have to worry about being dragged down by her saintly heart.

Josh used the Spider Silk to tie her up, "Just sleep soundly; tomorrow morning, we’ll go down and check the situation."

Erin looked outside with some concern, sighing softly, "They’re all comrades..."

Josh yawned and closed her eyes to start meditating.

Based on her observations, passing a test grants a brief period of safety, just enough for her to meditate peacefully for a while.

*

The next day.

When Josh and Erin arrived in the classroom, there were already a lot fewer people inside.

Lulu sat in her seat, bruised and swollen, waving enthusiastically at Josh, "Morning, morning, morning!"

Josh: "...Good morning."

Lulu winked at her.

Josh: "..." What a little busybody who can’t keep things to herself; she only told her how to pass the stage last night, deliberately avoiding the live stream camera, and sent it through a private chat window.

All to avoid this little fellow from being punished by the guild.

Yet she was desperate for others not to think they were in cahoots, full of fingers and winks, and overly enthusiastic greetings first thing in the morning.

Josh couldn’t help but twitch her mouth slightly; she now understood why Qian Duobao kept such a close eye on her.

Besides Lulu, there were also Susanna, another girl, and two veteran male players in the classroom.

The girl stared resentfully at Susanna’s back, as if trying to bore a hole through her.

Josh remembered this girl; she seemed to have met Qian Duobao a few times in private, and the two of them seemed quite close.

She sat in her seat, ignoring the undercurrents between these players.

Windsor carried a scroll in her hand, her face carrying a pleasant smile, which grew broader as she noticed the declining number of attendees.

She tapped the blackboard, "Today, we’ll start the test, one every hour, each test lasting 1 hour, only on Divine Mathematics. I hope you’re all prepared."

Josh narrowed her eyes; since it was a dungeon exam, it couldn’t be that simple; the test scores and ranking might bring some danger.

Sure enough, Windsor adjusted her glasses, a cold glint flashing through her eyes, "If you fail the test by ranking at the bottom three times, you’ll permanently lose the chance to challenge the third stage."

In other words, it meant the dungeon would be failed.

Everyone couldn’t help but straighten their expressions.

Erin looked at her with some concern, "What about your scores? Can you... make it?"

Josh maintained a relaxed expression, "Not a big problem."

Erin was still worried, as Josh had made two simple math errors in class the day before.

The test papers were handed out.

Windsor swept a stern eye over everyone, "I advise you, any attempt at cheating will be met with immediate punishment; you’d better behave yourselves."

When she mentioned "punishment," her expression clearly grew more excited.

Just as everyone was about to start writing, Windsor suddenly stopped them, "With each test, I’ll set a target score. Measure yourself against that score. The closer your score is to it, the better your score will be. Understand?"

This meant high scores alone wouldn’t do it.

If Windsor set the score at 60, everyone had to score 60 or as close as possible; the farther off they were, the worse their score.

Josh raised an eyebrow sharply, wondering how she was now supposed to copy homework.

No choice, she had to try desperate measures.

As soon as Windsor pressed the timer, everyone began taking the test.

On the blackboard was a large 75.

Josh found it a headache; given her early level of math knowledge, aiming for a 75 on this paper was difficult.

However...

Not a big problem.

Since it’s a dungeon rule, there’s likely a loophole.

After taking the test, everyone’s papers were handed to Windsor, who graded them within a minute.

Her speed was astonishingly fast.

Lowest scores were from Lulu and Susanna; NPCs mostly scored around 75.

Windsor glanced coolly at Lulu and Susanna, "Very well."

The atmosphere in the classroom grew heavier, and NPCs became more and more strangely expressive.

Hourly exams wore players out; they didn’t even get lunch or rest.

Yet NPCs seemed fascinated, staring at the test papers like they were life essentials.

Josh frowned slightly, watching these crazed individuals.

When she turned her head, she found Windsor’s face somehow suddenly in front of hers.

"Is there anything, Teacher Windsor?" Josh’s expression remained unchanged.

Windsor looked at her emotionlessly, "Is it a coincidence? Your scores are identical to Erin’s each time."

Josh smiled slightly, "What a coincidence."

Windsor’s eyes turned gloomy, "Remember what you told me when you asked for the class president and dormitory assistant positions?"

Josh put her hand behind her back, pulling her weapon out, "I don’t remember."

Windsor’s expression became terrifying, the red vessels in her eyes spread rapidly like thick worms, "You said you had a special gift, able to monitor many people’s movements simultaneously, promising to monitor the entire class’s movements for me. That’s why I gave you the class president and first-time dormitory assistant positions."

"Ah... that’s what it was." Josh feigned sudden realization.

Windsor leaned in closer, her neck elongated without moving her body, her skin stretching tightly: "So, you used your gift to cheat, copying Erin’s test paper?"

Josh shook her head, "No, Teacher."

Windsor glared at her darkly, "You dare lie!"

Josh looked at Windsor with some difficulty, appearing innocent, "Teacher, how can you accuse me like that?"

She showed no fear, even leaning closer for Windsor to fully see the pride and challenge in her eyes, "You say I cheated, but where’s the evidence? Without it, a teacher can’t unjustly punish a student, can they?"
