The exam day arrived faster than anyone expected.
By the time Friday morning came, the academy was tense with anticipation.
The usual lively energy of students moving through the halls was replaced with quiet focus and nervous determination.
For the players, it was just another day—except this time, they were walking into an exam they barely had a week to prepare for.
One by one, they logged in and left their dorm rooms. After gathering together, they moved toward the first exam's classroom, blending into the sea of students doing the same.
The players had plenty of ways to cheat.
Their systems provided them with unfair advantages—ways to store and retrieve information instantly.
Most of them would probably use it, too.
After all, they had already saved every kind of study material they could find into their systems, making it easier to reference key concepts and formulas.
