Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

"Thank you for taking the time to help me." Sylvie stood up and said. There were only a few people left in the library.

"You're welcome." Morse's brief reply made Sylvie realize his character again.

"Well... I'll be leaving now." She returned to her seat. When she glanced at her desk, she noticed that Jasmine had fallen asleep on it, with papers and notes scattered around.

"Jasmine?" Sylvie called softly, gently shaking her friend's shoulder.

Jasmine stirred, her eyes slightly opened, and she looked around blearily. "Huh? What happened? How long have I slept?"

Sylvie couldn't help but laugh. "We should go."

Jasmine yawned and stretched. "Well, thank you for studying with me, Sylvie."

"You're welcome," Sylvie said, her eyes unconsciously turning to Morse, who was still concentrating on his studies.

'I don't think he'll be leaving any time soon.'

Looking at his focused face, I thought to myself.

'I didn't expect him to teach so well.'

She had never imagined that Morse was so good at explaining things, especially when it came to pointing out her mistakes.

What mattered was not that he could solve the problem, but that he could analyze her thought process as she worked on it alone.

It was as if he knew her better than she knew herself. It was strange.

"Hmm?" Sylvie noticed that Jasmine was squinting at her, as if she was doubting something.

Sylvie couldn't help but feel a little uneasy under her friend's scrutiny. "Jasmine, why are you looking at me like that?"

Jasmine blinked, then shrugged. "Nothing..." she said, her eyes moving back and forth between Morse and Sylvie, as if hinting at something.

Sylvie laughed nervously. "What's wrong? We were just discussing a puzzle in Dungeon Theory, and Morse helped me understand it."

"Really?" Jasmine seemed unconvinced, but she did not ask any further questions.

"Really, he's more powerful than I thought," Sylvie admitted.

Jasmine yawned again. "Well, it sounds like you had a very productive evening. Let's go, midterms aren't going to be easy to deal with."

Sylvie nodded, and they began to pack up. They quietly left the library, leaving Morse to continue studying, and then returned to the dormitory to rest and prepare for the upcoming exams.

......

Contrary to expectations, there were no incidents related to demons or demon contractors during the academy's midterm exams.

This is mainly because they need to keep a low profile after the recent events. However, there are still some devil contractors in the academy who act for their own purposes, but during this period, nothing big will happen.

However, this does not mean that the game ignores this part of the plot.

At Arcadia Hunter College, the exam is divided into two parts: one is a written and theoretical exam, and the other is a practical exam.

In the game, theoretical exams are mostly skipped. After all, no player wants to look at a bunch of test papers while playing the game.

But the real world is not like that. You can't skip the theory test like you can in the game, and the college has a minimum score requirement for students, and those who fail to meet the standard will be expelled.

For these prestigious schools that train "elites", they are very strict on exams and student performance.

So I need to at least meet the basic requirements. That's why I go to the library.

Although I didn't expect to meet Sylvie there, this encounter was quite helpful to me.

While teaching her, I also learned and mastered knowledge faster than usual. When my study was over, I had completed all the subjects I needed to learn.

There is also the practical exam, which is the part I have to pay the most attention to. This is an event in the game where Ethan will show his talents and attract the attention of some groups.

In order to show his talent, he needs to overcome difficulties, and the difficulty of the second act is the [Midterm Exam Dungeon].

Just like that, a week has passed in a flash, and now the midterm exam has arrived.

......

＜On the day of the midterm exam＞

In the hallways of Arcadia Hunter Academy, students are gathering to prepare for their midterm exams, a day filled with tension and anxiety, and a test of their hard work throughout the semester.

As they waited for their exams to begin, students gathered in small groups to discuss their revision progress. Some expressed concerns about the difficulty of the courses, while others worried about not having reviewed all the material.

"I didn't expect Advanced Mana Control to be so difficult. I haven't even finished half of the textbook." A student complained to his friend.

He is a senior student at the academy and is currently taking an advanced course on mana control. "Advanced Mana Control" is one of the advanced courses of the freshman course "Mana Research".

Another student chimed in, “I know what you mean, but Demonology and Darkology isn’t easy either. There’s so much to learn, and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface.”

The two seniors have been at the academy for a long time but still have trouble covering all the course content.

When I walked over to the freshman class, the atmosphere was noticeably different.

Although senior students are complaining about the exams, they have already experienced at least three such "hellish" exams. But the situation is obviously different for freshmen. They are facing their first midterm exams, and the atmosphere is obviously more tense.

“Mana Studies is too hard,” one freshman shouted. "I wanted to stay up all night to review everything, but there's just too much stuff! I can't finish it all."

Another student nodded in agreement, notes in hand. "That's right! And Dungeon Theory is my nightmare too. I don't even know if I've had breakfast, let alone these complicated diagrams."

As the exam time approaches, some students are still flipping through their textbooks and hastily jotting down notes.

Anxiety is in the air as freshmen study furiously, praying they can remember everything for the upcoming exams. They all know the importance of theory exams, not because of their real-life significance, but because of their impact on grades.

"Why should we learn this? We won't be calculating mana in dungeons in the future."

Even though everyone had this thought in their mind, they didn’t say it out loud, knowing that it wouldn’t change anything anyway and it was just a complaint under their breath.

But not all students are like them. Some people learn this from the beginning. They sat in their seats calmly, waiting for the test papers to arrive.

One of them is...

"Irina."

The girl with fiery red hair sat in the front seat.

"what?"

When her deskmate Julia sat down next to her, she gave her an impatient look and closed her eyes again.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm sorting out the information."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"You don't need to know."

Most people don't know that the wizards of the high families have mastered some special magical skills. They are able to organize information magically.

'Mind storage. '

And now, Irina is sorting out all the information she has stored in her mind.

"Yo, Ethan. How are you?"

Seeing that Irina wasn't going to respond, Julia turned her attention to Ethan, who was sitting behind her.

"I'm checking my notes." Ethan was a serious student, but he had a small weakness. He is not good at solving analytical and computational problems. That's why he's still studying hard.

"I'm sleepy," Lucas added, slumping over the table.

"Tsk..." Julia couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw this scene. She knew that her twin brother was good at studying and very smart.

"What? Are you jealous that I have better genes than you?"

"Get lost! Who is jealous of an animal with a lower body like you?"

"Ha! What are you talking about!"

The argument between Julia and Lucas continues to escalate, with them exchanging insults and taunts.

Lucas continued to provoke: "If you didn't look like a man, you would have had a boyfriend a long time ago."

Julia's eyes burned with anger: "Lucas, you really crossed the line this time..."

Boom!

But before she could say more, the door was suddenly pushed open and the invigilator walked in.

"Put away your notes. We'll start the exam when the bell rings."

Everyone fell silent, a tense atmosphere filled the air, and they turned their attention to the invigilator.

The midterm exam is about to begin.
