The Holy Ascension Selection Test was set to begin on June 10th. The standard academic subjects would last for two days, followed by a third day for the Spiritual Qi practical test, open to those who passed the physical examination.
For high school students aspiring to become Extraordinary, this meant three consecutive days of exams: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
June 6th, 2015. A Saturday.
After the last class of the evening, Hongcheng First High School officially began its break. The remaining days were for the students to rest and mentally prepare for the exams.
The weather was perfect that day. Not a cloud in the sky. The deep blue expanse, bathed in the orange-red glow of sunset, created a mysterious, profound scene, like an ocean in the heavens. Faintly, a few planes could be seen streaking across the upper atmosphere, their long contrails pointing toward the far horizon.
