Chapter 65: The Great History Battle

The exam room was supposed to be silent. Supposed to be.
Because the moment the proctor, Mr. Dunebal, placed the test on each desk, chaos erupted.

Today’s topic: “Analyze the causes and consequences of the American Civil War.”

A collective sigh echoed. And then, chaos began.

---

ENTJ pulled out three highlighters, a ruler, and a watch.

— Perfect. Five-part strategic plan. Explosive conclusion. This exam? I’ll crush it like Sherman crushed Atlanta.

INTJ smiled coldly.

— Too easy. I already wrote this essay two months ago… for fun.

ENFP wrote passionately:
"Abraham Lincoln, the first American superhero, secretly wore a tight costume."
He paused, imagined rapping with Lincoln, laughed, and started again.

Beside him, INFP dipped her pen in tears.

— “My dear wife, if you are reading this letter… know that I fell at Gettysburg…”

ESFP had already raised her hand.

— Mr. Dunebal, if we sing Sweet Home Alabama, do we get bonus points?

ESTP also raised his hand:

— Excuse me, but can we get extra credit if we tell the Civil War like a wrestling match?

Mr. Dunebal ignored them completely. ISFP was drawing a cotton field on fire, with a sad sun above.

— Here. This is… a country’s pain.

ISTJ, meticulous, lined up his pens by color.

— You must cite every date… and every president. Otherwise, it won’t be complete.

The proctor looked at him proudly: finally, a serious student.

ENTP wrote as if in an internal debate:

— Was Lincoln a hero or an opportunistic strategist? Maybe both. No, wait! What if Jefferson Davis was the real tragic protagonist?

Mr. Dunebal sighed.

— ENTP, this is not a debate, it’s a history essay!

— But precisely, sir, all of history is a debate!

INTP blackened pages with equations.

— So, if the North had X soldiers and the South Y slaves… no, wait…

She completely forgot to conclude. Mr. Dunebal sighed in exasperation and walked away.

ISTP had already finished his exam. Now, he was drawing a battle scene like a Hollywood blockbuster: explosions, cavalry emerging from the fog, Lincoln in slow-motion with an axe.

Even ISFP was impressed.

ENFJ wrote lyrically, thinking about what the grader would like, adding moralizing sentences:

"At heart, the real cause of the war was a lack of love. And if we all learned to hold hands, there would never be conflict again."

Next to her, INFJ noted:

"The Civil War was the shadow in the American collective psyche, a broken mirror reflecting the collective unconscious."

Everyone looked at him confused, but it sounded profound.

ESTJ copied the textbook word-for-word in CAPITAL LETTERS, convinced that rigor = victory.
ESFJ turned her paper so everyone could copy, passing around decorated cheat sheets with smiley faces.

ISFJ had already finished her exam and began filling in for a panicked neighbor. Suddenly, ESTP stood up, slamming the table.

— Okay, guys! Let’s redo Gettysburg! North with me! Others, ready your bayonets!

He moved tables like barricades. ENFP jumped on a chair and began to slam poetry. ENTP shouted:

— No! The cavalry must flank from the left!

Mr. Dunebal, veins bulging, shouted:

— SIT DOWN OR I GIVE THE ENTIRE CLASS A ZERO!

Silence. Finally… almost. ESFP was still humming Sweet Home Alabama.
