Chapter 143: Tomorrow
The next day quickly arrived.
Those who had the nerve to sleep like Anthony and Tiara got up early in the morning since the written exam was going to be six hours long.
Anthony made a quick work with his morning routine when he woke up.
Bathed, brushed, ate, dressed, then he stepped out.
The time was still 9:30AM, thirty minutes before the exam time.
Students could be seen holding books and notes as they all went through everything they had learnt.
Well....some were still in the process of learning as they hadn't even completed the entire syllable, but they couldn't be blamed.
Not everyone's brain could handle such learning speed.
Since it was only thirty minutes remain, everyone already gathered in front of the exam hall.
As for Anthony, he arrived twenty minutes before the exam time and just leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
None of them noticed him as everyone was too busy with their own dilemma.
A student noticed him, but before he could say anything, they were instructed to enter the hall and get sitted.
At 10AM O'clock, the exam started immediately.
Anthony without even wasting time wrote down his answer and was done in an hour and half and left the hall without wasting time.
As for his subodinates, they bought the answer from the system shop for price of 1 subordinate point.
They were done in two hours and immediately went after Anthony.
Then they saw him sitting on a bench doing nothing but stare into space.
"Anthony you are back"
Evelyn said as Anthony turned to them.
"I never left you know"
Anthony replied.
They all nodded, they knew that Anthony was in the divine realm even though they couldn't meet him.
"How are you feeling my ten fingers"
He asked them.
Then they all smiled and started recounting their journey throughout the months.
Although Anthony already knew what happened, he just kept quiet and listen to it from their perspective.
"So, how confident are you to be in the top twenty for the written exam"
Anthony asked all of them collectively.
They smirked and explained how they bought the answers from the system shop.
Anthony was left speechless, well he too cheated by always using Authority Of Information, but he had to admit that he hasn't even thought of this method.
But why think of another method when the first is working perfectly fine and has not failed yet.
But imagine when half of those on the top twenty were cheating?
'Well.....it doesn't matter'
Anthony thought.
"Ahhh... Anthony we received an offer from your family but we didn't accept or decline"
Donna suddenly remembered this and said.
"Just decline it the next time, don't leave them or anyone else hanging, unlike other geniuses you don't have a weakness power houses can exploit like families or friends"
Anthony replied as he didn't care about this.
Sometime this is how major players and power houses get a genuis under their wings.
These power houses make proposals to these geniuses in hope of drawing them to their side.
But if this genius just kept declining without giving them face.....well, even while giving them face, these power houses would just look for another way to obtain their loyalty.
They would just kidnap your family members and make you sign a mana contract that binds you and makes you unable to betray them.
Well....even if you don't have parents making you an orphan, then they would use the orphanage as their bargaining chip.
If that doesn't exist, then they use your friends as the chip and if that doesn't also exist then they just outright kill you.
If they can't have you, no one will.
Well these power houses only go to this length for geniuses amongst geniuses.
But if you aren't under this category, then they won't push it too far.
They would just give up on you since you aren't the only one in the world who is that talented and there are those even way better than you so they don't put in that effort.
This was category Anthony's subordinates were in, they were too rare to pass up.
They were sure that the top families would soon start playing tricks.
But they had no parents or family members, their only 'friends' were the Storm brothers and Bryan who were literally heir to their own clans.
So the only weakness remained for some of them was those from an orphange.
But what will happen if you get a hold of someone's weakness and they simply just don't care.
Like Mike, even if the orphanage was put under pressure or all the children there were later kidnapped to force him to come over to the other party's side.
Mike won't even reply or demand their release, he won't do anything now since he doesn't have the power, but the same can't be said in the future.
In these type of scenerios, those who were responsible simply just release back those they kidnapped into the 'wild' since they didn't elicit the response they wanted.
But if the ten of them would be assassinated remained unknown....or rather when remained unknown.
They all nodded their heads in understanding.
As they continued discussing, the remaining students were done with their exams and stepped out of the hall cursing and complaining.
"How is someone supposed to pass with these ridiculous questions"
"Don't remind me of the exam, it's already in the past"
"We just finished and you are already saying its in the past"
"My future lies in the battle exam and real battles not some paper"
"Say that when you actually rank in the top twenty or even top ten"
"Speaking of top ten, did any of you see Anthony, he left just an hour into the exam"
"Yeah..and he looked fine also, it seems the rumours were false"
"Then why didn't he show his face for three months"
"If you ask me, who should I ask, do I look like I have the face or strength to be Anthony's friend or family member"
"Well all that doesn't matter, it seems that he is set to become the rank 1 again with a perfect score in the written exam ranking"
"I think so too, even those monsters called ten fingers left on time also"
"I think you guys are gossiping about the wrong thing"
"The real question is who will end up being the real rank 1 in the battle ranking between the ten fingers and Anthony"
"That would be some interesting scene, it would be nice to see these geniuses battle it out"
"Do you think Lady Tiara or Bryan still has a chance to be in the top ten"
"I don't think so, but they will still be top twenty, but the top ten will be difficult with those Humans holding the line"
"Tomorrow is the real show"
"When thinking about tomorrow I kind of forget about the rubbish I wrote in my exam"
The students discussed amongst themselves eagerly awaiting tomorrow.
But often, either tomorrow isn't promised, or you won't make it past tomorrow.
