In the Honglu Temple hall, Academic Palace Instructors who had come to attend the final exam and did not have proctoring duties were casually sitting and chatting.
"...so I said, this year's final exam questions were really too difficult."
The tall and burly Academic Palace Director, Doctor of Physical Science Xue Che, shook his head helplessly. "Just listen to that banging of desks. Once the exam results are out, the Ministry of War will surely come making trouble at the Academic Palace again. They'll say we didn't recommend any career paths for the Ministry of War."
"Let them make a fuss. It's the same every year; they always feel shortchanged. They didn't protest when the final exam tasks involved physical labor."
