An Su was the first to leave the examination hall.
It was still early in the morning, and the winter sun bathed the dome of the Order Church in warmth, casting a light green shadow with the leaves outside the courtyard.
The cloister was empty.
It seemed he was the first examinee to come out.
But as soon as An Su exited the cloister, descended to the third floor, and crossed the security line, he was surrounded by a thick crowd armed with long lenses and short cannons.
Most of them held notepads, with pencils tucked behind their ears, white hats perched on their heads, and briefcases hanging from their shoulders;
Dressed in various colorful clothes, emblazoned with the assorted logos of 'newspapers', they all revealed expressions like sharks sensing blood when they saw the first examinee emerge.
Most were reporters, and some were education experts.
For the residents of Farol, the annual saint examination held significant attention.
