Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The fourth type is buying a spot with money.

Ning Que's situation falls into the second category, as he has both a letter of recommendation from the Ministry of War and a recommendation from Princess Li Yu.

There are six subjects in total: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. Scores are calculated for each subject, and then people are recruited based on the total score.

The first exam was a math exam. This year's questions were math questions, but also history questions. After Ke Haoran drew his sword and died, Confucius went up to Xiling Peach Mountain and cut down all the peach blossoms on the mountain.

The final question is, how many jugs of wine did the Master drink, and how many peach blossoms did he cut down? The correct answer is, two jugs of wine and a mountain full of peach blossoms.

Ning Que's answer was two jugs of wine and a mountain full of peach blossoms.

Hinata Hoshino had been drinking and, not wanting to go out for the time being, decided to check out the exam venue. It was obvious that the teacher understood the joke; he knew perfectly well what the number two meant.

Grade A.

The second subject was books. These were policy essays, discussing the principles of governing a country. I copied down the *Taishang Ganying Pian* (Treatise on the Response of the Supreme Being).

Grade B (final).

The third subject was etiquette. It tested one's understanding of etiquette. Ning Que knew absolutely nothing about it, so he could only copy the Taishang Ganying Pian in delicate, small regular script.

Grade B (final).

The fourth subject is music. It involves testing knowledge of a musical instrument. It's better to be completely ignorant of one.

Grade B (final).

The fifth subject: Horsemanship. Ning Que encountered a wild horse and easily subdued it.

Grade A.

The sixth subject is archery, with fixed and moving targets.

The stationary targets were easy to handle, but the moving targets were a bit unexpected. It was a game of shooting arrows at each other, with the arrowheads removed from the cloth covered with paint. Whoever had the fewest paint spots on their body won.

Hinata Hoshino had no interest in continuing; there were no variables, it was just a matter of reading the book again or watching the TV series.

However, Hinata Hoshino's eyes held a hint of mockery, "Why can't I be a variable?"

"Boom."

The competition venue shook violently, and a giant maze rose from the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an urgent announcement: the rules of the competition have changed. You are now in the maze I have set up, which contains all sorts of bows and arrows; you do not need to draw your own bows."

The number of arrows is displayed next to the bow. As long as there are enough arrows, the bow will automatically fire when you raise it.

Various monsters will spawn in the maze at any time. Defeating monsters will earn you points. The player with the highest score before sunset is Jia Shang.

Ning Que curled his lip. Having power means you can do whatever you want, even change the rules of the academy's assessment.

However, this kind of approach is like some kind of game, but we don't know exactly what kind of bows and arrows are available, or whether we can kill monsters with our bare hands.

Ning Que suddenly found himself in a place with light only above and surrounded on all sides. Upon closer inspection, he saw a bronze ring shaped like an eagle.

Why do we feel more and more familiar with each other?

"What is it? Guess! If you guess correctly, you can leave and get your initial equipment."

Ning Que: ○|￣|_

How do you guess? What are you guessing?

"do not know!"

"wrong answer."

"Ning Que."

"wrong answer."

"No."

"Correct answer. Congratulations on obtaining the Hundred Stone Bow and 50 arrows."

The door in front of him opened, revealing thick earthen walls on both sides. Ning Que punched one of them, feeling as if he had hit steel, and his hand stung.

Ning Que began aimlessly searching for monsters and equipment. As for the people arranged by Crown Prince Chongming of Yan, they were unable to answer questions and were blocked inside the door.

Ning Que's question was specially designed; the others' questions were quite simple. However, Hinata Hoshino never expected that these Deadpool-like people would be completely brainless.

As Ning Que walked, he discovered a bow in a dead end, which looked to be better than the bow he had in his hand.

Hinata Hoshino's phantom appears. Please sing a song with me a cappella. You can leave after we finish singing.

"Ready? Old Que?"

"Yes!"

"Too quiet."

"Yes!"

"Very good, very energetic. Oh! Who is the great Pineapple who rules the deep sea?"

Hoshino-nii-san.

A heart full of yellow, yet a pillar reaching for the sky?

Hoshino-nii-san.

If flirting with girls everywhere is your true desire?

Hoshino-nii-san.

Then let's knock on the bed and get the little girl to clear the way.

Hoshino-nii-san.

ready

Hoshino~ Brother!

Ning Que covered his face. This thing, whoever wants it can have it; he absolutely would not sing it. If he really sang it, he doubted whether he would have the courage to live on.

Ning Que quickly left, and not long after, Zhong Dajun's wailing voice rang out from behind, "Brother Xingye..."

Ning Que turned around in surprise. "No way? He's singing live?! Is he out of his mind?!"

Ning Que continued walking forward, and in a dead end, he found a hard bow worth 300 shi (a unit of weight). He walked forward, wanting to get his hands on it.

Hinata Hoshino's phantom continued to appear, "Yo, kid, did you drop this Golden Sang-sang, or this Silver Sang-sang, or this Sang-sang who isn't here?"

Ning Que chuckled inwardly. A mere fairy tale could stump me.

"Sangsang isn't here."

"Congratulations, you have nothing. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, you're still too young, boy."

Ning Que grinned, realizing this was definitely targeting him. He secretly hid to the side, ready to see what the next person would do.

When Situ Yilan arrived at this place, she saw the hard bow with a weight of three hundred shi and her eyes lit up.

Hinata Hoshino's phantom jumped out and asked a question, "The shell is hard, the shell is brittle, the four sisters sleep in separate beds, back to back from childhood, covered by a bumpy quilt."

Situ Yilan pondered for a moment, "It's a walnut."

"You got it right, take it."

Ning Que went straight to his next target, only to find himself in another dead end. Ning Que felt that he had already grasped the rules, and that there must be something good in this kind of place.

A single-shot crossbow. Ning Que's eyes lit up. What a great item! But what was the problem?

Ning Que walked into a dead end, and a mirror appeared. Ning Que looked at the inscription under the mirror: Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.

It looks somewhat familiar, but when you look at it upside down...

It shows us nothing more or less the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.

It's confirmed. The Mirror of Eris. Ning Que tried hard not to let himself feel the urge to use the single-shot crossbow. The single-shot crossbow appeared in his hand, with one hundred bolts.

"I really am."

"I am the real one!"

"How dare you impersonate the great Dark Lord!"

"I am the Dark Lord!"

Two snake-head three-prong sockets suddenly appeared in front of Ning Que. Was this Voldemort?

Ning Que was completely bewildered. What was going on? The Mirror of Erised and Voldemort? What would the others encounter?

"Those mud-bloods over there, which of us is the real one?"

"Yes, you mud-blood, you be the judge."

"The fake is next to the real, and the real is next to the fake."

Ning Que had no choice but to speak, which enraged the two Voldemors, increasing their combat power by 99.

"How dare you deceive the great Dark Lord, you filthy, lowly Mudblood, you deserve to die!"

“Yes, the situation is urgent. Let’s kill this mud-blood.”

Ning Que noticed that the two prone demons had health bars appearing above their heads, and then looked at the bow and crossbow in his hands.

Item: Hundred Stone Bow

Ability: Reduces HP by 0.1 with each arrow

Item: Crossbow

Ability: Reduces HP by 1 with each arrow

Voldemort #1, HP 100

Voldemort #2, HP 100

Ning Que did a simple addition and subtraction in his mind: one arrow from a hundred-stone bow, minus 0.1 HP, fifty arrows would equal 5 HP.

A single crossbow bolt reduces HP by 1 point. One hundred bolts would result in 100 HP.

In other words, at most one Voldemort can be killed, and the remaining Voldemort can only be scratched. Moreover, the exact strength of Voldemort is still unknown, which leaves Ning Que at a loss.

However, the two Voldemors had already entered into a hostile state, leaving Ning Que with no choice but to take action.

"Avada Kedavra!"*2
