Chapter 193: Calling out Names (2/2)

Alex went to a relatively isolated section of the spectator's zone and waited for the results. Only after a few minutes did the elders return back to the hall.

”Alright, we will now announce the disciples who have passed the exam,” the Elder said.

”For the first list, we have 9 new inner sect disciples. I will call your name and you come on the stage. The list is based on who passed the earliest,” the elder said. He then started calling out names. Every disciple he called would walk up to him, whereupon they would be handed 2 sets of new robes, a new guidebook, and their nameplate.

One by one, the new inner sect disciples were called to get their stuff. Once the disciples took their stuff, they walked back to the spectator zone. Kong Yuhan had at one point managed to find him and had made his way over to Alex.

”Brother Yu, how was your exam?” he asked.

”So-so, I would say. At least I passed,” Alex replied.

”Well, passing an exam is always good,” Kong Yuhan said.

One after another the disciples went up to the elder and returned back. Soon, the 9th name was called upon. The disciple walked a little ashamedly, hiding his face from the crowd as much as possible, and made his way up to the elder.

After taking his stuff back, he hurried his way back to the spectators.

”Now, let's move on to the new Core disciples. This time, we have a surprising 3 new core disciples,” the elder said.

”Woah, 3 at once? That's a good amount. But, brother Yu, didn't you say you passed? Why was your name not called yet?” Kong Yuhan asked.

Alex was still waiting for his name so he simply said, ”I did pass. It will come up soon probably.”

Kong Yuhan was about to tell him he was wrong and that the names for inner sect disciples were done when the first name on the Core disciples list was named.

Hearing the name, a male disciple walked out of the group of people with his head held up high and a smug smile on his face.

”Tsk, it's not sister Mi who was first?” Kong Yuhan clicked his tongue as he said that.

Alex was a little surprised to hear him care about the order at which the names were called. ”Is there an importance to the order of names being called? He asked.

”Not really, it's just that…” Kong Yuhan started to get a little embarrassed as he searched around for words to speak. ”It's just that the new core disciples get their houses based on who came first. Since I was the only disciple to pass last time, the one who passes first this time is housed next to me, and… I really wanted it to be Sister Mi.”
