Time passed very quickly, and there was only a week left till the third monthly examination. According to the news around the academy, the results of the examination would be used as the criteria for choosing the class monitors. Obviously, the current acting class monitors would take priority, but if the other students perform exceptionally well, and at least overtook the acting class monitor, they had a chance to take over the position.
The examination being set by the dean made it very special. The news was no longer a secret. The acting class monitors managed to learn of it from the upper-years or even the student union members. Just a few days ago, the first-year forums had a very interesting thread, even with a new banner which had basic instructions for the next monthly examination.
