A vague figure hovered in the icy water, and Peter quickly swam over, grabbed the other man's arm and dragged him back.

Crash! In the ice cave, a young man's face turned purple from the cold, gasping for breath, holding on to the ice with one hand and trying his best to climb up.

It took Peter half an hour to finally rescue the drowning Vladimir ashore and carry him home.

Nikolai was awakened by a quick knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw the scene, and hurriedly took his brother from Peter's hand and laid him flat on the floor next to the fireplace. Vladimir spat out a large mouthful of water, and finally got a breath.

Nikolai let out a long sigh of relief, and then he had the bother to ask Peter what had happened.

Peter also thought of concocting a reason to slip into the water to deceive him, but in the face of Nikolai's eager gaze, he finally chose to tell the truth.

"On the way back, Brother Vladimir broke me apart and jumped into the river...... I guess he doesn't want to drag you down......"

"Say no more!" Nikolai hugged his brother tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

Peter's nose was also sour, he wiped the corners of his eyes, and was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but stomp his feet in a hurry.

"Oops! My exam—" Before he could finish speaking, he turned and rushed out the door.

Nikolai tried to call him back to change his soaked pants, but Peter turned a deaf ear and ran away in the blink of an eye.

……

Seminary, Chapel.

When the bell struck nine o'clock, Boris led a group of proctor priests into the examination room, all of whom looked so grim that they stood behind the candidates.

Boris briefly said the examination room record before the start of the exam: "No cheating, no noise, no interference with other candidates, and those who violate discipline will be immediately disqualified from the exam!" ”

No one would be stupid enough to try to cheat when the "Iron Mask Patriarch" personally invigilated the exam, and the candidates of the first two training courses have already set a tragic example for this.

Boris also knew that his aura was too full, which would cause psychological pressure on the candidates, so he walked around the examination room and left, standing outside the door of the examination room with his hands in his hands, his brows locked.

The little guy named Peter didn't show up for the test, which made him feel quite complicated. To be honest, he didn't like Peter's slick personality, and he didn't think that a boy like him who came from a slum and was tainted with the habits of a scoundrel could take on the great mission of serving the church, but what Roland said yesterday lingered in his mind, and if it turned out that His Royal Highness the prince had lost his eyes, he could easily win the gamble, but he always felt some regret in his heart.

The minutes and seconds passed, and at 9:30, half of the exam time had passed. Boris sighed, decided that Peter would not show up, and was about to turn around and go back to the examination room, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Following the prestige, a thin figure was running wildly in this direction, spitting out large clouds of white mist from his mouth, and his soaked clothes and hair were frozen hard, like a water dog running wild in winter.

"Peter?" Boris sank his face and said angrily: "Why did you come!" ”

"Accident...... There was a little accident and there was a delay...... "Peter put his hands on his knees, gasped violently, and stammered a brief explanation of the reason for his tardiness.

"Go down to the river to save people?" Boris frowned, raised his hand and released a "Detection of Lies", and the divine light shone on Peter, causing the kid to jump backwards in fright.

Detection revealed that Peter was honest, and Boris's face softened slightly.

"Master Pastor, that ...... I'd like to inquire......" Peter timidly approached Boris, "can I still go in for the exam?" ”

"According to the rules of the examination room...... It is not allowed. Boris saw the heartbroken look in the young man's eyes, and his heart softened inexplicably, "But your situation is special, in order to save people and delay the exam time, people should be rewarded for doing good deeds, I made an exception to allow you to take the exam." ”

"Huh?! Thank you so much! Lord Boris, you are the kindest and kindest priest I have ever met! Peter jumped up excitedly.

"Kindness? I? Boris was stunned, wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Okay little guy, don't be too happy yet, you can go in for the exam, but there is only half an hour left, if you can't complete the question within the allotted time, then unfortunately, I won't make an exception for you again." ”

"It's okay, half an hour is enough!" Peter scurried into the exam room.

"Humph! Little guy, what a big breath. Boris tugged at the corners of his mouth and followed him into the examination room.

It turned out that Peter really didn't brag, he got the test paper and looked at it twice, first picked the arithmetic problem that stumped many adult candidates, and it took less than five minutes to calculate the correct answer, and he whistled proudly, attracting the vigilant eyes of the invigilator, and quickly shrank his head to dodge.

"This kid...... Can it really work? Boris became more and more suspicious that he had done a bad deed with good intentions, and gave the priestess next to him a look, "Daya, go and see if that kid named Peter has solved the arithmetic problem correctly." ”

"Okay, teacher." The priestess walked around behind Peter and stopped, looking down at his papers.

Other candidates may feel more or less nervous when they perceive the invigilator standing behind them. Peter, however, didn't seem to have the nerve of "nervousness", and turned his eyes back at the priestess and smiled, as if to show off his ability to solve arithmetic problems quickly.

"Little gangster, what are you proud of!" The priestess gritted her teeth in anger and stared at his exam paper trying to find mistakes, but unfortunately, Vladimir's make-up lesson last night paid off, and the four mixed arithmetic questions with parentheses did not bother Peter, and the solution process was impeccable.

The priestess returned to the pulpit in disappointment and reported to Boris truthfully: "Teacher, that Peter is good at arithmetic, and he has answered the question correctly. ”

Boris touched his chin and nodded, "It's kind of interesting...... Daya, let's take a look at how his essay is written. ”

"Uh, you want me to keep an eye on that little bastard......" The priestess looked reluctant.

Boris glared, and the female priest immediately bowed her head and shoulders in fright, "Okay teacher, I'll go over right away." ”

Miss Daya walked around the examination room twice, pretending to be careless, and walked around behind Peter, and craned her neck to peer at his paper.

She thought she was secretive, but Peter noticed it at first, and suddenly turned back to her and bared her teeth, so frightened that Miss Pastor almost screamed.

"Eldest sister, are you going around me, are you secretly crushing on me?" Peter asked the priestess with a hippie smile.
