(Alice's POV)
It had been a month or two (or three) since the tour and the final exam was fast approaching. She had tied her long black hair up in a bun and was currently writing down some notes for her exams. They had their practical exams that day, their written exams tomorrow and their etics exams the day after. A week from today would be when she would need to take her final exam.
The exam that if she passed, it would qualify her as a Grim Reaper. Where they would partner her with someone, given them a human to observe for one month. She had to study if she hoped to stand any chance of even getting into the final exam.
"Hey, Alice!" 'Hmn?' She glanced up, her glasses flashing in the light as she turned her head towards her energetic, and mischievous room mate. Ronald Knox.
"What are you doing?" He asked her curiously.
"Obviously what you are not, Ronald." She responded before turning her head back to her work.
"Well the practical exams are starting soon." Ronald informed her.
She quickly put her pen down before gathering up her notes and heading at a fast paced walk down the hall to their room where she placed her notes down on her bed before following Ronald, quickly towards where they'd be taking the first exam.
As she passed by a group of guys that were also recruits she heard the one she had nicknamed a while ago 'Stark say just loud enough for her to hear "What? That female reaper. Yeah she'll probably get all C's. I mean whoever thought of a female reaper? Sure we have females but they all work in General affairs." The boy all but sneered.
Ronald gulped nervously. He knew that his friend had quite a temper. Especially when she heard people implying that she was weak or incapable. "I apologize good sir but your logic alone is wrong. I would stick around to list all the things about you that are wrong but I have an exam to get to. Good day." She said calmly.
The guy scoffed before bursting out into laughter. "Well your going to fail." The boy sneered. "You probably can't even fight." He laughed.
"We shall see." She said simply as she walked past him with Ronald nervously walking behind her.
Final tests! Day 1 test 1
"I will start by pairing you off and you will spar with each other. Your grade will depend on how well you do against each other." William announced. As he started to pair off certain recruits with each other.
"Percy Anderson." William called. "Aliceson Alexis Williams." He called signalling that we were a sparring pair.
Once everybody was paired up he signaled for them to start. Percy ran at her, recruits scythe in hand and swung at her. She easily dodged and ran behind him where she hit him with the wooden end of her scythe causing him to stumble. She she balled one hand into a fist a grinned, starting ti have a little bit of fun with this.
He ran forward and punched her in the gut with a force she did't see coming. She growled before kicking him in the side. He went for her again but she jumped back on her hands, using them as a boost to push herself up and land on her feet a few feet away. They rushed at each over again and their scythes collided with each other, she blocked almost all of his attacks. He kneed her in the gut and she kicked him in the abdomen.
A sound filled her ears ad she immediately stopped and placed her scythe back in it's spot clipped on her belt. She stood there in line still as ice as she watched William pace in front of them, seeming to assess them before dismissing them.
Day 2 Test 2
She yawned and carefully walked over to the side of the room to get dressed while Ronald slept. She clipped her death scythe to her belt before smoothing out her hair and tieing it up into a bob. She glanced over at her room mate to see him still sleeping. She scoffed and rolled her eyes before walking over to him and poking him with his own death scythe.
"Come on, blondie. It's the written exam today." She informed him and chuckled when she heard him groan before slowly sitting up. I'll meet you there." She said over her shoulder before she walked out of the room.
Once there she slowly sat down and waited for Will to give them the okay to start the test. She glanced at Ronald as he quickly ran in. "I cannot believe you left me to rush here alone." He whined.
"I woke you up, didn't I?" She retorted before falling completely silent as William and Grell walked in, Grell merely leaning against a wall and filing her nails.
"You may begin." Will said simply before sitting down at the desk at the front to look over paperwork. She silently flipped the first page and started her test. At first it felt like all the information would evaporate from her brain but she felt the words rush into her head as she continued through her head. She continued, using the whole hour gracefully given to her wisely.
She continued to move her wrist rhythmically across the pages until the sound of William slowly standing up and telling them to stop filled her ears. She blinked and realized that she had ended up finishing just in time and the moment she was out of the room let out a soundless sigh.
Day 3 Test 3 THE FINAL TEST!
Alice sat nervously on a chair waiting. The ethics exam was today. The most important and difficult exam, in her opinion. Where they would test them on the right and wrong ways to react to something. "A Grim Reaper must be ready to react swiftly and accurately to any situation." William's very words sounded in her head and she grew all the more nervous.
She took a deep breath and watched as students came and went. She smiled encouragingly at Ronald when he went in and grew more and more nervous. "Alison Alexis Williams." She heard them call her. She let out a breath before getting to her feet, adjusting her glasses nervously and headed on in to where they would test her.
They asked her many questions. Questions based on certain situations. It felt like hours had passed as she answered the questions swiftly, trying not to hesitate to think about it.
"Should you come across a demon eating a soul that you were meant to collect how should you proceed?" William asked. 'Pray my boss doesn't find out?' She found herself thinking but shook the thought away before responding.
"Um...You should fight said demon?" She said losing some of her confidence.
"If there is an issue with soul collection how should you proceed?"
"Investigate." She answered simply.
He kept on firing questions at her over and over again until he felt he had gone through all the knowledge she would have.
"You are dismissed." He said calmly. She nodded and stood up before heading on out of the room and back to her room where Ronald was waiting.
"Well? How'd it go?" He asked her as she flopped down on her bed.
"I dunno. We won't find out our scores till next week. I probably failed." She muttered discouragingly.
Ronald sat on his bad on the other side of the room and grinned. "If anybody failed it'll be me." Ronald pointed out.
"What makes you say that?" She questioned.
"Well you were the only one between the two of us who actually studied." He pointed out.
"Yeah. That's true." She joked, poking her tongue out at him.
"I'm sure we both passed." He reassured causing her to snort in disbelief.
"We'll see." She said calmly as she flopped down onto her bed and fell asleep.
