On June 7 of the Star Calendar, there were still three days left until the start of the National Trainer Exam in the Flowery Kingdom.
At this point, in Classroom 2 of the Trainer Course, David Jones was chatting with the long-unseen John Hornby.
“You little genius, you even have a Pharmacist Manual!” John looked at the book in his hand and exclaimed excitedly.
You need to know that his ultimate dream has always been to become a respected Pharmacist.
However, the primary pharmacist who his family collaborated with didn’t think John had the talent for it and didn’t plan to teach him any real skills.
With no other choice, he had to switch to a new pharmacist to learn from under the help of his family.
But as an apprentice, he had been doing odd jobs for so long that the pharmaceutical knowledge he could learn was so scarce that it even made him doubt himself, so much so that he once considered giving up on his dream.
But that thought of giving up his dream ended today.
The Pharmacist Manual in front of him was not only vivid and lively in its explanations but also included the techniques of elixir refinement he had never heard or seen before.
With this manual, perhaps he could give it another try.
On the other side, seeing that John didn’t feel estranged because of their long separation and was happy with his gift, David couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish, and he had long been aware of John’s dream!
After obtaining permission from Rosalind, he rewrote the knowledge allowed to spread from the Pharmacist Manual into a brand-new manual.
Feeling excited, John hesitated for a while, then eventually pushed the manual back to David’s desk.
“Maybe let’s forget it, this book must be very expensive!” Despite saying so, John’s eyes were still fixed on the Pharmacist Manual.
Seeing this, David could not help but smile wryly.
“If you feel you’re taking advantage of me, you can transfer 100,000 Star coins to me, like buying the book.”
Hearing that, John’s eyes lit up, and he said somewhat shyly, “Wouldn’t 100,000 Star coins be too little?”
David was slightly taken aback and suggested, “The cost of photocopying this manual alone cost me over 200 Star coins, selling it to you for 100,000 is indeed a bit too little profit, how about 200,000 Star coins?”
“Deal! I’ll transfer it now.” John took the manual back without hesitation and agreed.
“By the way, it’s best not to spread the knowledge in this manual casually.” Noticing John’s beaming expression, David reminded him.
John clenched the manual tightly in his palm, “I understand.”
The knowledge of a pharmacist is extremely precious, and he would never divulge it!
“Can I buy a copy?” Their conversation caught the interest of the two people at the table behind them. Sarah Hubert, the famously beautiful girl in the Trainer Class 2, couldn’t help but ask.
“Sorry, there’s only one copy, and it’s already sold out.” David gestured his refusal with a wave of his hand.
Hearing this, Sarah Hubert widened her beautiful eyes and said with a slightly sour tone, “Wasn’t it said that the cost price was just over 200 Star coins? I can offer 500,000 Star coins, can I make a copy?”
David shrugged, looking at the side of John, his meaning unspoken.
Seeing this, Sarah Hubert also looked at John Hornby with her bright eyes full of expectation.
“Sorry, not for sale.” Without thinking, John put the manual directly into his Star Ring.
No kidding, just 500,000 Star coins and she thought she could buy a Pharmacist Manual, don’t even think about it.
Sarah Hubert’s eyes went dark, and she gave up on the idea of buying the manual.
Although the commotion was small, it still caught the attention of other students in the class. Feeling the awe of his classmates and the whispers that Psychic Powers can clearly sense, David sighed.
Being popular comes with lots of troubles. Ever since he won the title of the provincial Trainer Competition, all his actions had become the focus of his classmates, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he only needed to report to the class today.
“Tap tap tap.” At this moment, the sound of fingers tapping on the blackboard rang out.
Ivan Job, the class teacher, stood on the podium and began to emphasize the importance of the upcoming exam to the students.
“Today is the last day before the exam, so first let me say a few words.”
“The choice of a Trainer College will directly affect the height of your future Trainer career development!”
“This is not a case of crying wolf! You should know that Sunbeam College, as an ordinary Trainer College in Sunbeam Province, produces trainers with a probability of less than 0.00001% to become Kings before the age of 30. In other words, out of one million trainers from Sunbeam College, only one young King-ranked Trainer can be born.”
“And the probability of trainers coming out from the Eight Colleges becoming Kings is 0.01%, meaning that out of ten thousand talented trainers, only one can break through to the King level before turning 30.”
“As for the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, which is known as the ‘Cradle of Kings,’ the King rate is an astonishing 1%, meaning that out of one hundred talented trainers, one with terrifying qualifications can become a King before the age of 30. That’s precisely why no one has been admitted to the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five from Waterland City in recent years!”
“As your teacher, I hope that besides David Jones, more students will be able to get into the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five and the Eight Colleges this year. That’s my biggest expectation for you all.”
As soon as the teacher’s words fell, the envious gazes of the classmates immediately gathered on David.
In their eyes, David, who had won the first place in the provincial Trainer Competition, was bound to be admitted to the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five!
Noticing these passionate gazes, David responded with a wry smile.
At this time, John looked at the admission ticket he had just received and asked curiously, “By the way, my exam site is assigned to School 2, how about you?”
“I was assigned to School 1,” David glanced at the admission ticket and said indifferently.
“School 1? I heard that Margaret Yule from School 1 has teamed up with you several times, and you two have a pretty good relationship,” John said with a curious smile on his face.
David helplessly patted John on the shoulder, “Our exams start the day after tomorrow, and you’re still worrying about this?”
John sighed, “To be honest, my grades have not improved at all. I would be content if I can get into Sunbeam College. What about you? Which college are you planning to apply to?”
“Rosewood College.”
“Must be nice.”
The Beastmaster’s Examination is divided into two rounds, the first round being theoretical assessment, and the second round being practical assessment.
Today was the first day of the National Trainer Exam.
After passing the routine inspection at the entrance of the classroom, David calmly went to his assigned seat with his admission ticket and stationery bag.
With his strong memory and deep Psychic Cultivation, he had already mastered all the subjects to be tested in the Trainer Exam.
Although he might not score a perfect score in the theoretical exam, getting a high score is still a piece of cake for David..
