Chapter 297. My Birthday: Knowledge Test. (2/6)
Frustrated, I headed over to the counter and spoke to the representative who set me up at the station for the Class 5 test.
While doing so, Alicia stood up from her seat with an extremely relieved expression. She breathed out an exhausted sigh.
“How’d you do?”
“I just barely passed one question before the lady with thirty-two correct. I was so nervous I misread some of the questions. By the time I realized it, I’d clicked the submit button to finalize my answer. After it happened once, I got flustered and it happened a few more times. My nerves really got to me. My heart’s beating like crazy. Rosa’s really amazing the way always remains so calm and composed. I wish some of her demeanor would rub off on me.”
“Personally, I think you’re fine making mistakes and fumbling along the way. The more mistakes you make, the bigger the room you have to grow. Besides, it’s not like Rosa’s perfect either, she still got one question wrong too.”
“She did?”
“Yeah, so don’t sweat it. It doesn’t matter how you got there. In the end, all that matters is that you reached the finish line and passed.”
“I hate to interrupt your little moment together, but can you stop flirting and get to testing?”
“Haha… right…” With an uncomfortably awkward laugh, I took my seat in front of the touch screen monitor on the desk.
“Tsk. These damn kids, always flirting at any chance they get. This isn’t your room. I hope this punk fails horribly.” The representative turned around and stormed off in a bad mood while she grumbled under her breath.
A small mischievous smile formed on Alicia’s face as she bent over, hugged my head and kissed me on the cheek.
She whispered quietly, “Hehehe, go out there and fail~” Before the representative returned to her seat behind the counter and saw us, Alicia released me and skipped off in a pleasant mood to where her mother and Rosa were seated. She took my original seat between the two of them and they chatted while eyeing me.
Why did everyone want to try and make me fail so bad? What’s with this? Now I'm starting to feel the pressure. I get they were making lighthearted jokes, but still. Every single one of them.
Is there anyone who’ll tell me good luck?
I received a text message on my phone.
I slid it out of my pocket and took a peek before I started the test. It was from Wisteria.
I wanted to cry when I saw it. What’s with the timing? Was she also in on this grand conspiracy against me?
When I read the text, I thought, ‘little sisters are the best after all.’
‘Good luck on your knowledge test for your license, big brother~!’
As we were constantly keeping in touch with each other, she was aware I was taking it this morning.
I was touched. I’d be sure to thank my dearest little sister for her encouragement after this. Her encouragement was like a sprinkle of rejuvenating water over a dehydrated man’s body in a desert.
At least, that was what I thought until I got a follow-up message from her.
I nearly threw my phone on the ground in rage.
‘Here’s a picture to motivate you. If you pass, you’ll get an even better picture~’
A picture of her standing in front of a mirror with her right leg crossing in front of her left while wearing a short skirt.
Holding her phone in her right hand, with a bright flash from her camera making it impossible to see her face.
Pulling up her blouse with her left hand to reveal her bare breasts to me.
That was a point-form summary of the picture she’d sent.
What is wrong with her! Every time she scores little sister points in my books she immediately loses them in a flash. Is she messing with me? She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she? This little sister is going to make me have a mental breakdown one day.
Frustrated- not sexually! Hah… hah… hah… I hate how I have the urge to internally retort to myself over my own thoughts. Anyway, frustrated, I stuffed my phone back into my pocket and started the class 5 knowledge test.
Let’s see...
A solid white line means… you cannot change lanes, duh.
Which of the following is not an effect of alcohol… increased alertness. Who in the hell would think this would ever be an effect! Is this test mocking my intelligence?
To pass a slow-moving vehicle on a hill, you should…
Huh? Uh… what the hell?
The options for this one were, (A) pass on the crest of the hill, (B) pass anytime as long as it’s not a curve, (C) pass while going up the hill, and (D) wait to pass until after you’ve crested the hill.
Uh… it’s really been a while. Logically speaking, what would I do? I wouldn’t want to pass while going uphill and I’d rather wait since you don’t have a good field of view to see what’s above the hill coming in your direction. So it definitely wasn’t B or C. At the crest of the hill you wouldn’t have much time to pass, would you? It could be dangerous. Meaning… the answer was probably D. You had a full field of view at what was ahead on the downhill.
I… got it right.
Phew. Well… you almost got me on this one, test.
Entering a roundabout, you should check for vehicles coming from… the left.
Two cars stop at a four-way stop sign at different times, the car with the right of passage is… the person who came to a full stop first.
Two cars stop at a four-way stop sign at the same time traveling on roads perpendicular to each other, the car with the right of passage is… the car on the right.
If you are in an intersection when the light turns yellow you should… continue through.
Have your hands on the steering wheel’s… three o’clock and nine o’clock positions.
Before obtaining your class 5I license, you must spend how many months in the learner stage? Nine.
Over the next ten minutes, I powered through the questions one by one until I got to the road sign questions. It was the easiest part. It just showed a picture of a sign and asked you to select what it meant.
It took significantly less time than the first part. I breezed through them in a short five minutes.
On the thirty-sixth question, the test ended. The result… I obviously passed. Hmph! It will take more than women distracting me to make me slip up on a test.
I stood up from my seat and headed over to the counter where the representative was with Alicia and Rosa.
The representative shot a nasty glare my way. I shrunk back a bit.
I get that working for this place sucks, but can you please not radiate ‘I’m a nasty bitch energy’ all the time? No wonder the reviews online complained about the staff at this location so much.
I definitely wouldn’t take the road test here. Though I’d passed my written test on the first attempt at this location my first time through life, I’d actually failed the road test twice here. They gave me a zero both times, it was quite a shock to me.
I didn’t understand at all how I could do so poorly. The reasons they gave for deductions were pretty vague and unclear. In the end, I found out that it wasn’t because I’d done poorly, it was because the examiners intentionally flunked people to squeeze more money out of unknowing suckers. They’d make up bullshit reasons to dock points from your score and you couldn’t argue since there was no video evidence.
For my third attempt at the road test, I did some research for a better branch to do my road test at and I passed with full points without any deductions.
Everyone in the city complained about this location all the time, but nothing was ever done about it. It was extremely irritating, but it was a good life lesson. The lesson learned was that private or public, both types of insurance companies were utter scams. Never take it here unless you’re a masochist who derived pleasure from being flunked unjustly.
