Theoretical exam

The expression portrayed that she was thinking something serious, yet the ways her eyes were slightly widened showed that she was shocked or surprised.

'Has she fallen for my charms? Although I do like women, her appearance isn't young anymore…' Thea started thinking but chose to just smile innocently, as a greeting.

Seemingly having realized that she was staring, the headmistress averted her eyes and continued her speech.

"A-anyways, can you all follow me to the exam-hall, we will start by testing your theoretical knowledge. After that we will head to the sparring grounds and test your physical capabilities. You will be graded an given points based on your performance, those points will then be added together and the top 200 people will enter the academy." The old lady explained before leading the thousand or so students somewhere.

"Well girls, I guess each on their own now, do try your best to get accepted." Thea said as they reached a large building the students were funneling into.

"Yeah… Good luck!" Reisa said.

"Good luck!" Reina followed.

"L-let's try our best." Mia said, her nervousness and stress visible on her face.

"Don't get nervous now, you said you have been preparing a long time for this already, didn't you?" Thea asked Mia in a whisper, to which Mia nodded in response.

"How about this… If you pass, I'll properly reward my little kitty tonight~." Thea teasingly whispered before kissing Mia on her lips.

Before Mia could even react, Thea had disappeared with the crowd, leaving a blushing cat-girl and two stunned lion-girls standing at the entrance of the building. Lion-kin had better hearing, so even if Thea whispered, they could easily hear her words, and when they finally processed what Thea said, they blushed as they realized her words had a dirty context.

When Thea entered the building, she looked around the large room. At the front was a fairly large podium and facing the podium, where many seats that slightly rose the further they were from the podium.

Thea found a seat closer to the podium and sat down. On her right was a cute dog-kin girl and on her left was a bunny-kin boy, in front and behind her were two human boys. Something they all shared was their nervous expressions and the way they fidgeted in their seats.

'Hmm, are they that nervous for the exam?' Thea thought as she chuckled.

It took about 10 minutes for everyone to enter the exam room and that's when the headmistress appeared on stage.

"Alright you will all have 1 hour to make the test. If you are caught cheating in any way, you will instantly fail the entrance exam and will never be able to try again. When you have finished the exam and have ticked the last box the exam will automatically fly back to the stage." The headmistress said with a serious expression.

From a table on the stadium hundreds of papers stated floating before they moved and landed on each table, following the papers, hundreds of pens followed and landed on top of the exam papers.

"Begin." The headmistress said with a loud voice.

Thea along with every other student picked up their pens and started the exam.

As Thea browsed the exam, she read the different questions. They varied from some simple math's using the local currency, to questions asking about how different races should be treated or how mana works.

'Hmm, the exam both questions character and knowledge…' Thea thought as she casually started filling out the questions.

The questions weren't difficult and when 10 minutes had passed, Thea had already ticked the last box, forgetting that her exam would fly to the front.

'Shit…' Thea thought as she watched her exam rise and fly to the podium where it landed on the desk.

Not only could she hear many gasps from the students, even the teachers and headmistress were shocked.

Thea then watched the headmistress pick up her exam and read her answers. For some reason this made Thea really nervous and uncomfortable.

She watched as the principles expressions changed many times. First she simple nodded, then she frowned before grimacing. The more the old lady read, the more expressions she showed, until finally when she must have arrived at the last question, her eyes widened. She then quickly ran out the exam-room holding her exam, leaving not only shocked students behind but also shocked teachers.

'… shit… I might have fucked up…' Thea helplessly thought as she hid her face in embarrassment between her arms on the desk.

Many of the students that saw Thea react like this thought she must have given up and just filled in some random answers. The students that were having a really hard time and were waiting for someone else to hand in their exam first, quickly followed her lead and handed the exams in as they gave up.
