18 Exam Day
*Knock, knock.
'Urg...'
Still half asleep, Rem shifted to her beast-man form and used disguise.
*Knock, knock, knock.
"I'm coming to open the door so stop knocking already!"
Rem walked towards the door and opened it.
"Hey there. Good morning!"
Nor waved at Rem.
"Not a very good morning... You woke me up so early!"
"Ah, a little grumpy I see."
Rubbing her eyes, Rem said, "Just get to your point."
"Yeah okay miss grumpy!" Nor said, giggling.
"Here's the Magic Stones." Nor handed the Magic Stones to Rem.
Rem took the Magic Stones. "Thanks."
'Wow... Five Low Ranked Magic Stones??? How generous.' Rem thought.
"Oh, and also. Take these too. It's a meeting gift."
Nor gave a bag full of copper, silver, and a few gold coins.
"You sure? After I take them, don't expect me to give it back to you."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Take this pocket watch too. You can't be late for important events, can you? I'll call you when you have a mission."
"Humph, I'm never late..."
{You've been late to class once. You were also almost late to the party.}
'That's an accident. That doesn't count.'
"Yeah, sure." Nor said, not believing Rem at all.
"I'll be leaving now. I have a meeting to attend. See you!" Nor waved at Rem and disappeared without a trace.
'He sure likes to teleport.'
{Unlike you, he can teleport.}
'In my past life, I could teleport... Whatever! Just forget about it and be quiet. I have classes to attend.'

After eating a piece of bread for breakfast, Rem went to her class.
"Good morning Remie! Still half asleep?" Karina asked Rem energetically.
"Morning... You sure are energetic... Who would have known."
"Yeah, everyone thinks I'm cold... You're my first friend so of course, I'm happy to see you."
"Same here."
'At least one this life you are. I'm pretty sure I had some friends in my past life. Or do I? I'm not sure. I can't remember anything...'
The teacher walks inside the classroom.
"Everyone, listen up. Today all of you will be taking a test. There will be three tests. The first one is to test your intelligence. The second test would test your magic power and the third test would test your strength. After taking the test, there will be a first-year ranking. The rankings will be up at the end of the school day so you may go check if you would like to. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Faction you chose to be in. However, you will still be in the same homeroom. Make sure you are not late for your classes."
*Ahem...
The teacher turned to look at Rem.
"..."
Rem didn't say anything. Karina just tried her best to not laugh.
"Now then, the intelligence test will be handed out to you right now. You better not cheat. I will be looking very carefully..."
While the teacher was handing the students their tests, Rem inspected the teacher's status.
<Inspect Status>
[Name: ]
[Job: Teacher]
[Level: ???]
[HP: ???/???]
[MP: ???/???]
[Element: Water]
'Her level is pretty high... Just who was she? I can sense that she is very strong but why did she become a teacher? Hmmm...'
The teacher finishes handing out the tests.
"You have three hours to finish this test. If you finish early, take a nap or something. Just don't bother other people. A reminder. If I find out that you are cheating, it's an instant zero. You may start the test now. Go on."
'The test is pretty easy...' Rem thought.
•••
It's been half an hour since the test. Rem has already finished.
'Urg... So boring... I'm done! I checked my work over ten times already... I'll hand the test to the teacher then.'
Rem walked up to the front of the classroom and handed her test to the teacher. Everyone was staring at her because she was the first one to finish in half an hour.
"Thank you, Rem. You are as quick as ever." The teacher said, not impressed since she already knew how smart Rem was.
Rem nodded and went back to her seat. She put her head down on her desk and fell asleep.
•••
Karina finally finished the test. She handed her test to the teacher and went back to her seat. There was still ten minutes left.
'I'm so tired...' She thought.
Karina looked at Rem. She noticed her sleeping.
'Ahaha, she's drooling!' Karina giggled.
Ten minutes passed and Rem was still sleeping.
"Okay, everyone. Hand over your tests. It's now lunch. After lunch, you will meet me at the Magic Training Area. Ask someone if you don't know where it is. Have a nice lunch everyone." The teacher walked out of the classroom.
Everyone started to go towards the cafeteria.
"Hey, Remie! Wake up!" Karina yelled loudly.
"..."
Rem was still asleep.
"Wake up!!!" Karina poked Rem's cheek.
"Hmmm?" Rem opened her eyes.
"It's time for lunch. You sure sleep a lot."
"Oh right. Thanks for waking me up Rina." Rem stretched as she got up from her seat.
"Let's go get some lunch. I'll pay this time since the last time you paid."
"Alright. You can if you want to." Rem rubbed her eyes.
"C'mon!" Karina said excitedly.
