CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 15: PRE-EXAM CRAM SESSION

The tutoring class spans a total of fifteen days, which means Yan Luo cannot enter the Abyss for at least fifteen days.

Fortunately, he had just returned from the Abyss a few days ago, so at most, it’s just a few extra days of rest.

The day after Yan Luo signed the contract, the tutoring class began.

The classes are held on the fourth floor of the Trade Union Building, where there are many conference rooms. By freeing up a larger conference room, all candidates attending the tutoring class can be accommodated.

By nine in the morning, the candidates wishing to take the Hunter Exam were already in the classroom, and Yan Luo walked in just as the clock struck the hour.

This conference room has tiered seating. Standing on the podium, Yan Luo raised his hand toward himself, "As you can see, my name is Yan Luo, and I am a Hunter."

The structure of the conference room is special. Speaking from the podium, one can be heard even by those sitting in the far corners without needing a microphone.

Everyone turned their heads, noticing the business card floating beside Yan Luo with a red-colored name on it.

"I am the most knowledgeable in theory among all the Hunters at Crimson No. 2, familiar with 98% of the demons in the Crimson Abyss and knowing how to deal with them. With me as your instructor, you are very fortunate."

Yan Luo always speaks directly, never beating around the bush.

However, not everyone can adapt to his way of speaking.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a skinny young man with long hair sneered, "You look quite young, how old are you this year, kid?"

After speaking, he and his two friends sitting beside him burst into laughter.

Yan Luo said nothing, pulling out a hand axe he carried and suddenly throwing it.

Bang!

The hand axe flew halfway across the classroom, embedding itself in the table in front of the long-haired youth, scaring them into silence.

"Next time, remember to raise your hand before speaking. If I don’t allow it, then shut up. If you disagree and don’t want to leave the tutoring class, come down and fight me, the winner gets their way, that’s the Hunter’s rule!"

Yan Luo gestured with his hand, "If you understand, then help me throw the axe back."

The long-haired youth, fuming, stood up and tugged twice to pull out the axe embedded in the table before angrily throwing it back at Yan Luo.

The hand axe spun like a sharp circular saw, rapidly flying towards Yan Luo.

Yan Luo calmly raised a hand to grab it, effortlessly catching the axe handle and bringing it to a stop.

"Alright, that’s enough fussing, sit down."

Yan Luo inserted the axe back into his weapon belt, glancing at the long-haired youth, who then sat down in silence.

The maneuver Yan Luo just demonstrated proved his strength.

Yan Luo withdrew his gaze, placing his hands on the sides of the podium, scanning everyone in the classroom, and said, "I know some of you don’t accept me because I look young, so let me formally introduce myself—Yan Luo, male, eighteen years old, a Hunter for less than four months. I’ve participated in hunting deadly-level demons twice, once alone and another as commander; both times resulting in the successful killing of deadly-level demons."

At that moment, someone raised their hand to ask a question.

Yan Luo pointed a finger, "You, what do you want to ask?"

The person who raised their hand asked curiously, "I want to know what sequence level Instructor Yan is at, are you Sequence 4 yet?"

"No sequence." Yan Luo answered honestly.

As he spoke, he projected his physical examination report behind him and continued, "I can’t engrave, and my magic power adaptation is extremely low. Being able to hunt deadly-level demons all relies on the knowledge in my head."

Yan Luo not only posted his physical examination report but also the official records of his two hunts of deadly-level demons.

Although there’s no direct evidence to prove Yan Luo single-handedly killed the silent hunting lizard, the Purple Fox Squad’s testimony supports that they encountered the deadly silent hunting lizard in the Abyss and indeed abandoned Yan Luo.

In addition, Yan Luo subsequently hunted a large number of dangerous and ordinary demons, so the Guild acknowledged he truly hunted the silent hunting lizard alone, adding such a record to his profile.

How can an ordinary person hunt deadly-level demons?

Everyone present couldn’t help but be moved.

"That’s enough for the off-topic discussion."

Yan Luo patted the table, saying, "Let’s get back to the main topic—starting today, including the following fifteen days, I’ll use the first three days to tutor you on the written part of the exam, and review all the material on the last day. Apart from these four days, I’ll spend the rest teaching you how to pass the practical test. I hope you will study seriously and strive to pass the Hunter Exam to become a Hunter like me, contributing to the fight against the Abyss!"

Then, Yan Luo raised five fingers on his hand, "Next, we will have a test. I will give you five minutes to use the bathroom or inform your friends and family. After five minutes, your smart device signals will be cut off. During the exam, you cannot leave the classroom, but you can discuss and confer on the answers to the questions.

"Just remember, when the exam time ends, the papers will be submitted automatically, not a nanosecond over. You have to manage your time well. That’s all I have to say, the five-minute countdown starts now."

Having said that, Yan Luo sat down on the chair, silently waiting for the five-minute countdown to end.

People looked at each other, and after a few seconds, realizing the countdown projected on the wall behind Yan Luo, they reacted.

Some got up to go to the bathroom, some relaxed and chatted with friends, while others hurriedly used their smart devices to search for past ’real questions’.

As time ticked by, at the moment the countdown hit zero, Yan Luo suddenly opened his eyes, and the classroom doors were immediately locked.

Yan Luo shuffled more than two thousand questions carefully selected from the Scarlet No. 2 Hunter’s Guild exam database, randomly picked two hundred questions to form a test paper, and sent it to everyone present.

Meanwhile, two rectangular boxes dropped down from the two corners of the ceiling at the back of the classroom.

—These are emergency toilets.

After distributing the test papers, Yan Luo no longer paid attention to those candidates, sitting calmly and chatting with a friend.

The network they used was laid out by the Guild’s signal tower, and as their instructor, Yan Luo had already obtained the network cut-off permissions from the Guild.

Yan Luo didn’t have many friends. After his friends went to college or started working, they developed new social relationships and were in less frequent contact. Moreover, since Yan Luo was a Hunter and had to disconnect when entering the Abyss, only two people, Guo Xu and Wang Lingyu, still kept in close contact with him.

Guo Xu went into the Engraving Design major, which required learning a vast amount of knowledge—not just neuroscience, programming, medicine, mechanical engineering, but also psychology and philosophy. He rarely got a chance to chat with acquaintances.

Basically, the only person who chatted with Yan Luo was Wang Lingyu.

At this moment, the person chatting with him was also Wang Lingyu.

[Yan Luo, I’ve got good news for you! Do you know? Our Abyss Ecology major might be relocating to Crimson No.2 entirely! Whether it’s education or research, it will all be done at Crimson No.2. It’s the whole academy’s relocation!]’

Seeing this message, Yan Luo frowned slightly, inputting text with his thoughts: [That’s not really good news. Any exploration town is at the frontline adjacent to the Abyss. If another magic tide occurs like eight years ago, you would be in danger.]

Wang Lingyu: [Magic tides aren’t that easy to happen! Yan Luo, you worry too much, there’s really no need to be concerned about that many issues. Besides, I can come see you, isn’t that good news?]

Yan Luo perplexedly scratched his head, feeling somewhat mushy.

[Aside from Guo Xu, you’re my only remaining friend. If you can come to see me, I’d be happy, of course. But this whole professional relocation... I don’t think it’s a good idea.]

Wang Lingyu: [This hasn’t been finalized yet, it’s just our academy’s dean who has this intention. To officially relocate, it would require approval from the President’s Office and the city government. Right now, it’s just an intention. In fact, there’s a lot of resistance within our academy; many people don’t want the academy to move.]

At this point, Wang Lingyu changed the subject: [However—you remember the senior sister I told you about who has been very kind to me? She’s preparing to go to Crimson No.2 with her mentor. Packing and transporting some scientific instruments takes time, but no matter what, the departure date is within these few days.]

Yan Luo: [Help out a little, right? Don’t worry, if she encounters any trouble, I’ll lend a hand.]

Wang Lingyu: [Then it’s settled! I’ll give your communication account to Senior Sister Sasa, so she can contact you after she arrives at Crimson No.2!]
