28 Everyone is a Good Person (1/2)
An hour had passed since they started the test.
The examiners checked their own areas and students, and were very satisfied with the current progress.
”This year, the kid from the Adrian family did a good job,” someone whispered in praise.
In the silence of the examination room, Banner answered the questions on his test paper, emotionless, his pen flying effortlessly. It seemed that was not stressed about the difficult subjects on the test.
”In the end, he is from a well-educated family.” Ben nodded. ”He deserves to be the next generation inherited from the age of darkness. Of course, he is also good at hunting and theology.”
”It's not right,” somebody said quietly.
Someone else was aware of it too. ”His speed is too fast.”
”Huh?”
”That white-haired boy, what's he doing?”
Ben was surprised for a moment, watching the white-haired boy not far from him.
In the gloomy examination room, the white-haired boy was so happy, almost dancing out of his seat. As if he had taken drugs, his eyes were glistening. He held the pen in his hand, writing at an incredible speed. It was so fast that the proctors could not see his hand moving clearly. Besides the first two pages, which he needed time to think about, he was racing through the rest of the test.
”The reform of the church swept by, the rise of the School of Choir rushed by, St. Gregory's achievements…he had filled almost half the page without thinking.
The only thing he spent a long time on was the question about Runes' and common grammar because he wrote at least one a half pages without stopping!
It did not seem like a boy taking an exam, but rather a fox happily slipping into a chicken coop.
”Hey, what's going on here?” Ben's face was gloomy and looking to the side.
”I don't know.” The teacher who had written the questions gulped. ”He must not be scared of the problems. Maybe he is answering them all incorrectly.”
”This is not a political analysis. As long it provides a full answer, he can get some basic points.” The female examiner contemptuously glanced at the teen, and said coldly, ”If it's just chicken scratch, he cannot get any points.”
”But what if he answered them all correctly?” someone softly asked.
Everyone's expression was gloomy. The white-haired brat was the target that they had been instructed to 'take care of.' If he passed with ease, the vice Principal would be upset.
Breaking the silence, a man whispered, ”Do not scare yourself. How could that untouchable little know any theology?”
”Yes, I designed the exam in accordance with the difficulty level of teaching staff's guideline.” A middle-aged proctor shook his head, ”They should not be too easy to answer. Even if it were an open book exam, there shouldn't be people who can easily pass.”
”Do you think he's really writing down wrong answers?”
”I think so.”
After hearing what others were saying, Ben's face eased up. He nodded, ”A messy answer will disqualify him. I bet the Principal will not be able to say anything about it.”
”He answered them all correctly,” someone murmured from the corner.
A white-haired old man looked up, his eyes hazy, his face stiff. Rather than mocking the nobles, he was stating a fact.
He said, ”All the answers are correct.”

In the examination room, Ye Qingxuan's pen was flying like the wind, quickly sweeping through the subjects one by one.
Now that he had come to the last question, the seven guidelines of hymnists...This was the common question for singers, yet outsiders would have no idea.
But these seven criteria were regarded as part of the 'reformation' and recorded in the sixth chronicle of the History of the Church. It was considered as one of the biggest achievements of the sixth generation of Pope Louis.
The rise and representatives of the School of Choir?
The answer to the question was just putting together the contents of some chapters from Church Music History and Saints' Biography! And in order to make sure that he did not miss anything, Ye Qingxuan even added a chapter from Praise Thirteen!
Seven questions made by Hermes?
A century ago, Hermes's era was called the Development of the Art of the Church! Almost all of the artists in that era were all devout believers. They simply made a significant contribution to the development of religious art.
The seven questions were officially recorded in the Theory, and could be easily found in the book!
As for the difference between Runes' and common grammar, Ye Qingxuan knew this well because Father Bann had made him a copyist for three years.
The more Ye Qingxuan wrote, the more he could not help but want to laugh and dance.
Good man!
Everyone was a good person!
It was so good to have a recommendation letter!
While Ye Qingxuan was writing, his heart spoke to Wolf Flute, ”You were afraid I could not take the exam, and you must have found someone to change the examination questions, thank you!”
It was an unbelievable privilege.
