Chapter 117: Irregular License Exam (4)
After going through those doors, I continued down a long hallway before reaching another room.
This room…was a lounge.
It was like one of those lounges that was found in airports, but it wasn't just any lounge.
This lounge was a very fancy lounge with private chefs and an open bar.
This was like one of those fancy lounges that only first class passengers could enjoy before their flight took off.
It seemed that they really did take care of those who passed the exam.
As soon as I came in, there was a waiter that came up to take care of me.
He led me to my seat and then brought over a menu for me to show all the things that I could order. When I asked him about the price, he told me that everything was free for those that passed the exam.
Since that was the case, I wouldn't pass up that opportunity.
Without hesitation, I picked out a few things that I thought were good and then gave my order to the waiter.
The waiter didn't hesitate at all as he went off to put in my order.
Since I had some free time now, I looked around the room.
I found that there were some people here that I recognized and some people here that I didn't recognize.
But at the same time, I could also see that there were many doors that led to this room.
It seemed that there were many different testing areas and they all led to this single place.
It seemed that I had completely underestimated the scale of this Irregular License Exam.
During this time, I took the chance to scope out the competition.
The ones that had passed in my area were also sitting here.
Some of them were also relaxing and ordering things from their waiters, but some of them were just sitting there in silence.
The one that caught my attention the most was the cloaked figure with the giant scythe.
This person was sitting in a corner with one of the waiters standing beside them.
That cloaked figure just sat there in silence without saying a thing, as if they were completely cut off from the world.
That just made it more awkward for the waiter assigned to them.
All the waiter could do was stand there awkwardly while waiting for anything to happen.
As I looked around the room, I could feel the tension rising in this room.
It was clear that they had put us all together so we could scope each other out, while at the same time, it would create tension between us. After all, this was an exam that everyone was taking alone, so everyone else here was an enemy.
The tension was so thick that one could almost cut through the air with a knife.
Finally, that tension exploded in the form of a confrontation.
There was someone that I didn't know that stood up and walked to the bathroom. But as they walked to the bathroom, they suddenly tripped and bumped into someone that I did know.
It was that young man with the regent.
The person who bumped into the young man with the regent didn't even apologize as he kept walking, but the young man with the regent couldn't endure this. He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Where do you think you're going."
The other person turned back to look at the young man with the regent before saying with an aggressive voice, "Huh? Who do you think you're talking to?"
Both of them glared at each other and it almost seemed like they were about to fight then and there.
But before they could do anything, there was a fork that suddenly flew through the air.

This fork flew right in between the two of them and pinned itself in the wall behind the two of them.
Both of them were surprised since they didn't see this fork until it was too late.
At the same time, they could tell by the way that the fork inserted itself into the wall that the force that the fork had been thrown with was not small. If it had been aimed at them, it would have been hard for them to survive.
Both of them couldn't even help letting out a secret sigh of relief.
Then they both turned in the direction the fork came from and found that it was the bartender who had thrown it.
That bartender was looking right at them with narrowed eyes.
For some reason, they could feel some kind of pressure coming from this bartender.
They were about to say something, but then they noticed the badge that was on this bartender's chest.
As soon as they noticed this badge, they immediately swallowed what they had been about to say.
That was because this badge was the badge of the examiner.
This ordinary looking bartender was actually one of their examiners.
If they weren't careful, they might just get kicked out of this place.
But when they thought about it, they realized that this made sense.
They were still in the middle of the Irregular License Exam, so it wasn't as if they would be left alone all of a sudden. It made sense that there would be an examiner watching over them.
So after glaring at each other once more, the other person gave a snort and walked off again while the young man with the regent sat down.
Seeing this, the examiner turned away from them and went back to polishing his cup.
However, since I had a seat that was close to the bar, I seemed to have heard something with my enhanced hearing.
"What a waste. They are using this time to fight with each other instead of finding people to cooperate with. It seems like they won't pass the next round."
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.
Finding people to cooperate with?
Could it be that we would be working together even though this was an individual exam?
