Bab 487: Pass.

Yang Dao entered the big hall with all the other examinees, leaving Athena behind. The hall was simply decorated with a lot of chairs and small tables placed in neatly arranged columns. An elderly person stood at the end of the hall, with all the chairs facing him. 

The people came inside and the elder said, "Welcome everyone, the examinees will take the seats in any order they wish to, I will then explain the rules and regulations to you all." 

His voice was calm and filled with vicissitudes of time. The people all sat down quickly. Yang Dao found a seat at the front, since it was the only one left, no one wanted to sit directly under the gaze of the elder. He did not think much and sat down calmly. 

The elder nodded when everyone sat down and said, "I am head deacon Mark, I will be your invigilator with seven other deacons. They will be monitoring you all from the crowd standing in the spectator gallery above."
