The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 256 - - The Exam Comes
The day of the exam came.
I got up early in the morning and got ready for what will happen today.
The Exam… is not exactly an exam but a game, which will be revealed later anyway.
Now the game will be conducted in four ways, just like the first exam.
The first, a written exam… just a formality. This exam wouldn't be an actual exam as it has already happened.
No it hadn't been conducted before. The exam was secret and it already has been calculated through the small exams that the teachers had done every day.
They wanted to take this secretly and see our academic level. Which I might not have done as good as I think.
Then the next exam… well, why spoil it so early. Let's just do it as it takes us.
"You ready, Henry?" Wilson said as he donned in his uniform too.
Wilson too will be joining the exam. Just yesterday, the guy fought the rank 9 dude and got his rank. Even Alex and Xavier fought other close ranks and got upgraded as well.
"Yeah, are you excited Wilson?"
"Excited?" He gave a small laugh, "More like scared."
I smile too, "Don't worry, nothing strange is going to happen, just your regular old examination."
"Yeah, but this is The Academy, I'm sure they got something good for us."
"That they do."
We get out of the room to see Xavier coming out too. But he was alone.
"So he's still depressed and sad?"
"Yeah…" Xavier said and became angry, "I just want to kick his face and get his ranking but I can't… fuck this shit, why's he like that!"
"Hey hey…" I pat his shoulders, "It's only your true feelings, don't be afraid to let them out. Especially on the exam because you're definitely going to need them."
"Confident much?" He smirked.
"Very"
"So do we call him out or?" Wilson suggested but I shook my head.
"No… I have a feeling he'll be coming out the moment he needs to."
We get outside and go towards the auditorium where the exam was going to happen. Inside, it was a pretty lonely place except for the forty other students that were already there.
It was the other classes that were going to participate. Each class was sitting in their own separate group as the that's how it was suggested.
We found ours at the far corner where Alex was calling us out.
"Tell me about discrimination without telling me." I murmur, sitting next to him.
"Hey where are our other classmates?" Wilson asked as he saw six empty seats.
"They won't be joining us." Alex said. "You guys showed up late. The other classes already made an ultimatum about defeating Class F first, especially if there's going to be a fighting competition."
"So hearing that, the others chickened out. We're the only ones left." Alex said and looked at us, "Seeing Arthur not with you, I suppose he's out too?"
Xavier shook his head in disappointment.
"No problem, we lost a good fighter only." Alex said in a deadpan way.
"And you didn't join them?" I ask Alex, already knowing he wouldn't.
"Of course not. I joined this exam because I want to join Class A and if that means fighting everyone, I will fight everyone." Alex said as his conviction filled eyes never wavered, "Even if it means, I have to fight you guys."
It was arrogant but his words only brought a smile onto us.
"Same here, bud." I fist bumped him.
"It still would have been better if we had another on-" I stop as the door of the auditorium opens again.
I look back as my eyes took a surprising turn and smiled.
'This guy…'
You think it's Arthur… well think again.
The guy walked in coolly while balancing his glasses. On his back, there was the Sky Angel's Bow hanging. He gave no shit to the sarcastic looks the other classes were giving and straightforward came to our place and stood before me.
"Henry"
"Yo Taylor. Did you finally get healed?"

"Yes. And thanks to you, now I am in debt too." He said, his eyes having no bit hatred inside them, "But that doesn't matter. Today I came here for two reasons."
"First, win this exam and second is to defeat you!" He said, pointing his finger straight at me.
I smile and nod to it, "Straight on man. Same goes here." Then I point to his seat, "Now sit your ass down and stop bringing looks at us again."
"Alright" He did just that.
It was good that he did that quickly because people started coming in on the stage and I didn't want unnecessary attention right now.
It was the old bastard Bonaire and a few other respective teachers. Among the teachers there were even those two that had run away before Cravic came.
Bonaire took the stage, "Good morning, my fellow first grade students. It's nice to see your face so early this morning. Almost revigorates this old bones seeing you so full of energy."
"As you all know, today is the day of The Exam… the one that will propel you towards the top." Bonaire smiled. "Such a fine idea, right? Even though none of you deserves such a place but you get to have this chance… simply a transcended idea."
Before the students could get angry, the old bastard changed his words, "Today is not only a special day because of the exam but also because a special someone will be watching you."
"Stand Tall, Students. It's her highness, Princess Hanako Sakurai." Bonaire said and walked out of the center.
As everyone stood up, a woman wearing a regal red colored junihitoe and a large hairpin that combed up her long hair. She walked with grace and honor with each step and stood before the stage.
The students immediately kneeled before her in custom, "It's our honor to meet you, your highness!"
Hanako also bowed slightly towards them, "The same goes for me as well." She said, her voice a sweet peep.
As we got up, I looked at her face, it was quite beautiful. Even with makeup invented in this world, she didn't use much as she didn't need to. Her real look was good enough.
Hanako took a step forward and spoke, "It's a great honor for me to be received by this kingdom and in turn all of you. I thank you all for letting me join in this special ceremony of yours and I hope that my presence doesn't offense any of you."
She was quite fluent in English.
She backed off with those words as Bonaire took the stage once again.
"Such fine words from Princess Hanako. Give her a round of applause students."
"Plat!"
"Plat!"
"Plat!"
"That's enough!" Bonaire said, "We don't want her eardrums to explode now, do we?"
"…"
"…"
Nobody laughed at his lame joke as he awkwardly laughed and diverted it.
"So serious… good! That's how students should be at such time." He laughed brightly, the shameless bastard, "With such a figure watching you, you should go above and beyond to make sure you impress her."
As the old fucker kept on speaking nonsense, I gazed at the woman to see that she was looking at me too. Seeing me look at her, she gave a small bow and looked elsewhere.
'Don't worry, I have use for you too.'
