Back at the school, the teacher asks the students if they're studying for the entrance exam. The students say they are, and the teacher tells them to copy the exam notes. The teacher tells the students that the exam is very difficult and that they should prepare for it as soon as they return to school. He also tells them that there are many mock exams to practice for the exam, and that someone is there to help him with them. The teachers then ask the students about their art exam, which they took in the imperial capital, and how they are doing on the exam. Mr. Gu, the head of the teacher's office, says that the contents of the exam booklet can be prepared in advance to show the strength of the school. The professor tells the group that the student from Linjiang is in the top group of students and that he's going to take the victory. He then tells the other students to calm down and say that they are only a few points behind the top students. He tells them about the circlet, which is a system of ranking students based on their performance in the exam and not on their grades in class. The professors then tell the students to come closer to him, and he'll be fine
