In this chapter, the three students discuss the upcoming exam for the rank of pill alchemist. One of the students is so young that he is willing to take the exam despite the fact that it is very difficult. The other two students, however, are not so young. They are older students who have taken the exam in the past. The younger students are more experienced and have memorized the questions from the previous year. The older students are confused by the speed with which the student is answering the questions. They feel that the student must be trying his luck on the exam. The elder students try to calm the younger students down, but they are unable to. The third student interrupts the exam by handing it in an hour early.
