"Ning… Ning… Ning… Ning… Ning… Ah! There it is," Ning said when he saw his name on the poster. "I knew I could do it."
He was still a little happy that he made officially made it. He looked at his name for a few seconds more and walked away from the crowd.
He could hear shouts of cheer and cries. There were definitely more cries than cheers. Given how many people have taken the test, it was obvious that more people would've failed.
As he was wondering what he was supposed to do now, a person from the academy walked out and posted another piece of paper. Then, he spoke out loud.
"Everyone who has passed, please register as soon as you can. You will have to register and move into the academy by the end of the week. Any later, and you will be rejected from joining the academy," the man said before disappearing.
Ning saw that the post on the wall said the same thing as well.
