Gustavo Flint pondered for a moment, then said, "Show me the exam questions."
The assistant quickly presented the questions for this term's assessment with both hands, the alchemy exam was extensive, with dozens of pages for both the beginner and intermediate exams combined.
Gustavo Flint read through them quickly, the questions required no thought for him to know the correct answers, but for most alchemists, they were extremely difficult.
"There's nothing wrong with the questions, but this pass rate isn't normal!"
Gustavo Flint knew the Alchemist Association inside out, how could he not know what those apprentices were capable of; it was impossible for so many qualified alchemists to suddenly emerge unless there was a mass cheating event.
"Go check those who passed the exam, don't alarm too many people, use the Truth Serum to confirm if they bought the answers."
This was the only possibility Gustavo Flint could think of.
