The Artisan exam was not an easy one at all. Devising an original recipe and creating said recipe from a selected environment was not something that could simply be done within a day, let alone mere 12 hours.
However, that was exactly what the exam was all about.
Currently, a hundred Rank 4 Apprentice Apothecary, most of whom had decades of experience under their belts, were all still unable to create a final product worthy of meeting the standard of the exam.
There was only an hour and a half of time left, and most of the examinees had similar expressions on their faces. Some even seem to have given up completely, eyes dazedly staring at their workstations. However, there were also others just like Emery, who had made either a Tier 4 product with level 1 originality or Tier 3 with level 2 originality – merely one step away from succeeding the exam.
