Read WHAT IF? YOU/ME REINCARNATE IN ANOTHER WORLD :: (Chapter 9) {Aplika Academy Exam Day}

Announcer – You have been given 2 questions. You must answer both questions.
You have 10 minutes. After time is up, the papers of those who pass will burn, and they will be allowed to proceed to the next exam.
Now, you may start your test.

Scene – All 5 rooms are filled with tension as the students start thinking seriously.
Meanwhile, in the parents’ hall, all parents are watching their children.

Emily – Hopefully, you will pass, my love…

Room 2

Madan (age 13) – I have to complete these two questions.

Room 1

Jessy – Cheating is allowed…

Room 5

Dana – But we can’t talk, and we can’t leave our seats.

Room 4

Purui (age 14, female) – If we do that, it’s an instant fail…

Room 3

Tianzhu – But maybe I can answer these questions.

Question 1

If a person throws a fireball from the top of a mountain toward the ground, and at the same time another person throws a fireball from the ground into the air using a buff, whose fireball will have more power and speed?

Question 2

If a being dies, can they still be revived after 1 hour?
If yes, which magic is used, and how does it work?

Tianzhu (thinking) –
The first question is easy. If the person on the ground throws the fireball, its speed and damage would normally be lower.
But since they are using a buff, the attack could become more powerful, or both attacks could end up at the same level.
According to theory, if the buff level is low, then the attack won’t be that powerful.
So it depends on how strong the buff is.

Scene – Jessy is shown, sitting tensely on her chair.

Jessy (thinking) –
What should I do…?
Hmm… maybe the mountain person’s fireball is stronger because attacks from above gain speed and slightly more damage.
So the answer is the mountain person.
And for the second question, I think revival isn’t possible after 1 hour. That gap is too big…

Random student (Room 1) – I’ll just cheat…

Room 5

Dana (thinking) –
If we can’t stand up and can’t talk, then magic is the only option.
There’s no rule saying we can’t use magic.
But the problem is that parents are watching.
It doesn’t matter for students whose parents didn’t come, but mine did.
I can’t cheat openly in front of them.
That means I have to use magic without anyone noticing… I see.

Purui (thinking) – Light Vision (high-level magic)

Scene – Light surrounds Purui’s body, and she can easily see everyone’s papers.

Purui (thinking) – Yup, got it!

Madan (thinking) – Thunder Move

Scene – Madan’s speed increases to near-light speed for 0.3 seconds.

Madan – So the answer to question one is this, and for question two…

Scene – Dana is shown again.

Dana –
But what magic should I use?
Do I even have a magic like that?
I don’t know… let me think for just one second…

Scene – after 5 seconds

Dana –
I’ll use my Sparrow Shadow Magic.
This magic is very low-level, so I think no one will sense it.

Scene – A small bird emerges from Dana’s shadow and hides in another student’s shadow.
Dana can now see from that student’s point of view.

Dana – Good… very good…

Scene – Tianzhu is shown.

Tianzhu –
I’ve finished question one.
Now what’s the correct answer to question two?

Announcer – Only 2 minutes left.

Jessy – What?!

Purui – Done… yes!

Dana – Damn, I have to hurry!!

Madan – Okay, only two minutes left. I can do it!

Tianzhu (thinking) –
In this world, revival magic does exist.
But what are its limits?
In normal anime worlds, revival users can revive someone within 3–5 minutes after death.
But this question is about 1 hour.
Even if it’s possible, I have to explain how and what magic was used.

Rock – What is Tianzhu doing?!

Emily – Maybe he’s thinking…

Rock – But there’s no time left to think. Only 1 minute remains!

Scene – Tianzhu.

Tianzhu – Okay… got it!!

Answer –
Yes, it is possible, but not for everyone.
Only Grand Master–rank individuals can do it,
and only those who understand and can use revival-type magic.

Tianzhu – Phew… finally done.

Scene – The announcer speaks.

Announcer – Time up!
Any student who is still writing has failed.
Those who didn’t answer or were caught cheating on camera have also failed.

Scene – The papers of Jessy, Purui, Dana, Madan, Tianzhu, and some other students burn.

Announcer –
All students whose papers have burned, please come to Ground A within 5 minutes.
The remaining students may go to Hall A, return home, or try again next year.
Thank you for attempting the academy exam.

Scene – Students start leaving.

Jessy – Hmph! There’s no way I failed such an exam!

Dana – That was a close call…

Purui – Thanks to my magic…

Madan – Now I’m in test number two.

Tianzhu – I passed…

Scene – All remaining students gather at Ground A.
Several teachers are standing on a stage.

Announcer – Congratulations.
Out of 100 students, only 40 have passed.

Random student – What?! Only 40 out of 100?!

Student 2 – This exam is really tough.

Announcer – Now let’s announce your results. Teachers, please.

Scene – Teachers step down and return papers to students.
