REINCARNATION OF THIEVING GIRLS

090 - 092

Chapter 90: Admission Test (2)

That's right, the little boy they were scorning was none other than Shen Yanxiao in disguise. Before he went to the academy, he had explicitly asked Shen Feng to turn his luxurious carriage into an ordinary one. His fancy clothes were also replaced with the usual ones, and that helped him in his disguise as a young man. Even the attendant that Shen Feng wanted to give him had been left in the Vermilion Bird Family compound.

It was clear that Shen Yanxiao's humble attire had caused her to be looked down upon by the people in the academy.

If those youths knew that the person they were scorning was the future Vermilion Bird Family Head, they would probably pee in their pants.

Who would have expected the heir of one of the five great noble families to appear at the Saint Laurent Academy registration grounds in ordinary folk clothes?

However, Shen Yanxiao did not have the energy and time to care for those foolish and narrow-minded children. He only treated their mockery as the stupidity of a fool. After he asked about the reception site of the Herbalist Division, he immediately went there.

In accordance with what some of the young man had said, every student of the Herbalist Division was extremely wealthy. There seems to be no exception. Every student at the entrance seemed to be wearing luxurious clothes, and their luxuries were even comparable to fashion shows in the modern era.

Shen Yanxiao could see sparkling gems with sparkles and bright golden ornaments that could dazzle one's eyes. It was as if the new students were hoping to cover themselves from head to toe with luxury items so as to show their family wealth. They might think that they could use their wealth to train their talents as shamans.

When he looked at those rich young men and women, Shen Yanxiao's hands were itching.

‘Golden sheep! Fat sheep everywhere! ‘

Placing a peerless thief goddess among a group of powerless rich members of the younger generation was like throwing a starving mouse into a pot of rice.

Actions speak louder than words. Shen Yanxiao immediately lowered her face and walked pacingly amidst the human crowd.

Since he decided to be too humble, no one on the reception site noticed the ugly duckling's presence. They kept thinking about their own business while waiting for the exam. Unfortunately, they did not realize that the pouch they had tied around their waist had disappeared as a heartless thief walked around the location. Any luxury item they had on their wrists also disappeared without a trace.

Money is a good thing, and no one would mind more money.

The Herbalist Division registration test was still ongoing, but its speed was practically negligible when there were over a thousand participants.

It also gave someone enough time to slaughter the fat lamb.

Shen Yanxiao tried to go back and forth among the crowd. The interspatial ring was once again filled after the gold coins used to pay Qi Meng were exhausted as an advance payment.

There's only one word to describe his return from a worthwhile trip, and that's ‘hebat’!

It was already afternoon when the group waiting in the Herbalist Division finally made some progress.

After Shen Yanxiao decided that she could no longer put anything into the ring. He then proceeded to stand obediently in the queue to wait for his turn during the exam.

Not long after, he moved to the front queue. Dozens of teachers from the academy were present to organize the tests for the students.

The teacher in charge of Shen Yanxiao's group was a serious-looking middle-aged man. He glanced at the new students before him and casually gathered around twenty students, including Shen Yanxiao.

"All of you, follow me in."

After he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the exam site.

Chapter 91: Admission Test (3)

About twenty young people immediately followed him.

The examination grounds were quite spacious and could accommodate over a hundred people at a time. The other five groups of students entered the place together with the group where Shen Yanxiao was. They were then led to a separate area to take the exam.

Shen Yanxiao's group was taken to a row of tables with various equipment laid on them.

"Now I will demonstrate a method to make a soothing potion. I'll only do it once, so pay attention. " After that, the expressionless teacher immediately worked with the equipment in front of him. A sparkling translucent crystal test tube flew into his hand and the stem of the medicinal plant was quickly purified into half a bottle of dark green liquid. The teacher completes these steps, one at a time. Twenty-plus test candidates observe each teacher's movements attentively, as they fear they will skip the required procedures.

A few minutes later, a perfect calming potion appeared before their eyes.

"You have thirty minutes to do this. After thirty minutes, those who graduated would stay here while those who failed would have to leave Saint Laurent Academy immediately. " The teacher's low voice resounded.

The new students immediately shuddered.

They wanted them to produce an individually soothing potion after just one demonstration? What joke. Even though a calming herb was one of the simplest herbs to make, it would still be difficult for new students who were not even herbalists.

After the teacher spoke up, the student immediately took his place in front of a set of concocting tools and started his business.

The medicinal ingredient rods had been placed on one side, so they only needed to follow the actions of the previous teacher.

The reality is always harsher than the perfection imagined.

They cannot remember every detail from just one demonstration. Most of them make big mistakes, one after the other. They could only force themselves to continue in the hope that they could enter the Herbalist Division. Everything is on the same level. So, regardless of their mistakes, they would be fine as long as they followed the teacher's instructions. Even if they failed, they only had to get better grades than the other students. They doubted that the academy would take out over twenty students from the place at the same time.

Luo De stood to the side and looked at the new students as they knew nothing. The wrinkles are getting deeper. Although the new student tried his best to observe his actions, their direct practice was a tragic sight.

Suddenly, Luo De realized an unusual situation.

While all the other new students were fiddling with the equipment, one of them was simply standing in front of the equipment. However, he did not move.

He was an ordinary-looking little man, and his thin figure seemed inconspicuous among others. As he stood before the table, his lively eyes swept across every piece of equipment on the table, but he did not move his hands.

Luo De raised his eyebrows, but he did not say anything. He was just watching the students.

Thirty minutes passed by very quickly, and most of the students had stopped their efforts. Finally, the result was a tragic sight.

The wise potion that Luo De produced was pure dark green and devoid of impurities. Even the simplest potion alone was enough to reflect his incredible skill at making potions.

Chapter 92: The Test Also Depends on Luck (1)

Inside their bottles, some had charred medicinal ingredients leftovers, and some even had strange powdered substances. If Luo Due did not realize that they were supposed to make a calming potion, she would not guess what they had in their hands.

A group of young people were very scared. They would be very lucky if their hasty work did not poison others to death, let alone use them as medicine.

But it's not their fault! Even if they were geniuses, they would still not be able to replicate the entire process accurately based on just one demonstration.

All of them looked at each other as they were all concerned about their finished products. The only silver lining about their situation was that they all had similar results, and all of it was the same tragic sight.

As the saying goes, the law is not responsible for the public, and they are somewhat grateful for that.

Instead, someone's situation had made them smile.

Good Lord! There was actually an idiot in their group who had not managed to make anything. They realized that the idiot was not even trying when they saw the untouched medicinal equipment and materials on the table. At that moment, everyone giggled. Although they failed, at least the others managed to follow the teacher's instructions and demonstrate their ability to remember the steps, yet the idiot did not even do anything. They thought that he might not be able to remember the teacher's demonstration and hence, had no way to begin with.

Because of the obvious differences, young people who were initially disappointed with their final product suddenly gained confidence.

Luo De glanced at the unidentified final product they held in their hands. His stern gaze was finally fixed on the little boy who remained unmoved.

"What's your name?" Luo De asked.

Shen Jue's. Shen Yanxiao replied with a smile.

The students were secretly laughing. They thought he was stupid because he did not see the teacher's stern expression on his face. He even dared to smile at his teacher.

Luo De glanced at the neat table behind Shen Yanxiao and asked, "Shen Jue, why don't you make such a soothing potion as I asked?"

Shen Yanxiao stroked her nose and looked at the untouched medicinal ingredients on the table. "Because you didn't give me the medicinal ingredients to produce such a calming herb?"

Luo De's thin smile disappeared, and the twenty-plus students were shocked by his answer.

Shen Yanxiao pointed to the medicinal ingredients on the table. "Teacher, although the plants you used before are similar to this one, there is a slight difference. The plants you use have slender leaves, but sharp edges. But the plants on this table have rounded ends. Although the differences were small, they were actually two different medicinal ingredients. "

After Shen Yanxiao pointed that out, the other students immediately turned their heads to look at the rest of their plants. As expected, the tip of the plant was round in shape. They then stuck out their heads to look at the rest of Luo De's plant, and they realized that the tip was sharp. The leaves of the plant are only as wide as pinky while the shape of the edges is minimal. If one did not pay attention to the details, subtle differences would not be noticeable.

The expressions of the other students immediately darkened when they realized that the little boy was right.

They were all candidates who had come to participate in the Herbalist Division's tests, so they must have done a lot of preparation beforehand. Although they were unable to complete the production of the potion on their own, they at least had some knowledge of the basic ingredients.
