Entrance Exam

The day of the JPW Academy entrance exam has arrived. Ren and Hina stand in front of the Academy. JPW Academy is huge, stylish and modern, shining under the morning sky.

Ren and Hina look surprised as they see the Academy.

Hina says, “ Ren, grandpa told us the first test is written, and only the top 105 participants will enter the next exam. So…all the best!”

Then, Ren smiles and says, “all the best, too Hina!”

Then both start going toward the academy. Many people are also walking towards the academy. Among them, there are many foreigners too.

Soon, Ren and Hina reached the academic ground. They see a large board showing the seating arrangement for the written exam. Both walk toward the board to find their seats.

Ren and Hina check their seating arrangement on board.

Ren says, “ My room is 4-A, and your Hina.”

Hina says, “ My room is 3-C . Ahhh… ours rooms are different , Ren”

Ren says, “ I'm also sad Hina.” Then, Ren checks the time on his phone and says, “ Let's go to the examination room.”

Hina nods and says, “ yes, Ren”

Ren and Hina walk toward their exam rooms. The Academy is busy with students everywhere, and the air feels full of excitement and nervousness.

Then Hina heads toward her exam room, and Ren walks toward his own.

Ren walks toward his exam room and sees that people from many different countries have also come to take the entrance exam. He thinks to himself,

( JPW Academy is even more famous worldwide than I imagined.)

Then Ren reaches his exam room and enters. He sees many students already seated —some looking nervous, and others looking confident. Ren walks to his seat at the last bench and sits down.

Then more students enter into the room — some from foreign countries and others local. One foreign student sits in the corner seat next to Ren, but Ren doesn't notice. Soon, the examiner entered the room. 

She checks her watch, and says, “ When the bell rings, you will receive your question paper. Please fill the MCQ carefully and all the best students.”

Then the bell rings.

Riiing! Riiing! Riiing!

Then the examiner walks down the rows and hands out the question paper to every student. 

The room falls silent.

Each student opens their paper and begins reading the question carefully — some thinking hard in deep thoughts, and some moving their pens quickly. 

Ren looks at the question paper and thinks,

( This seems very easy. Grandpa already made me practice almost all of these questions.)

A small smile appeared on his face, then he started filling in the answer.

After one and a half hours. Ren finished his paper, but exam time is not over yet. He quietly looks around at the other students.

Just then, Ren's attention shifts toward the foreign student sitting beside him. The boy has black hair and a calm, simple posture.

Ren notices that he is struggling with a few questions. So, Ren decided to help him.

Ren speaks in a low voice so that the teacher does not notice.

“ Hey…do you need help?”

The black haired boy look it Ren and says, “ Yess… please”

Then, Ren quietly shows his answer sheet.

The boy looks at it carefully and fills the answer in his own sheet.

The black haired boy finishes the questions he could not solve. He looks it Ren and says 

“Thank you, my saviour!”

Just then, the bell rings.

That means the exam is officially over. Then, the examiner walks around the room and starts collecting the answer sheets from all the students.

As soon as the examiner takes Ren's paper, Ren quickly stands up from his seat. He rushes toward the classroom door and runs down toward the ground. When he reaches the ground, he stops and takes a deep breath.

Just then, Hina  walks toward him and says,  “you are late, Ren. I've been waiting for you for a long time.”

Ren says, “I was helping someone.”

Hina says, “don't make excuses. Forget, anyways the exam result will come in two hours. We decided to have lunch at the restaurant, remember? And you are already late, so hurry up before the restaurant is full.”

“Okay” Ren replied.

Then, they both went toward the restaurant.

Meanwhile,  on the other side the foreign black hair boy looks around the ground, trying to find Ren so he can properly thank him. But he cannot find them.

Ren and Hina sit in a restaurant, eating lunch, talking about the exam, and enjoying time together. 

On the other side, the black haired foreign guy keeps searching for Ren everywhere. He checked the hallways, the washroom, and even the Academy corridors, but he did not find them. Then, he rushes to the announcement room and grabs the microphone and turns it on, but a teacher quickly turns off the mic and says. “You can't use the announcement system like this!”

On the restaurant side, Hina's phone alarm rings. She checks it and says, “ Ren, let's go. It's time for the result!,”

Then,  both stand up in a chair, pay the bill and leave the restaurant, and go toward the academy.

On the other side, the foreign black hair guy comes near the result area, looking for Ren. But he does not find him and walks away in another direction.

Meanwhile, Ren and Hina arrive at the academy and walk inside. A large screen is displayed in the hall, showing the exam results. Both Ren and Hina look up at the screen and find their own results.

Ren finds his name — Rank 17

Hina finds his name — Rank 11

Both of them stare at the screen for a moment… then smile with happiness.

Hina says, “Ren, I was sure that both of us would definitely pass this exam and not waste grandpa's hard work. Ren, are you happy?”

Ren smiles and says, “ Yes, Hina I'm really happy…but the exam isn't over yet.”

Then an announcement was announced through the academy.

“ All 105 participants, please come to the battleground — This is the final round of the exam.”

Then Ren and Hina go toward the battleground area, their hearts racing with excitement and nervousness.

There are many entrances to enter the battleground. At one of them, black haired boy stands waiting, hoping to meet Ren again.

Meanwhile Ren and Hina enter the battleground through another entrance. They stop at the gate for a moment, look at each other and mentally prepare themselves before stepping inside.

The real exam…and the true challenges begin now.
