My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 862

Esther navigated to the address Gabriel had provided. She exited her car and approached the sign-in desk, which was bustling with people awaiting the upcoming assessment.

At that moment, a subtle sense of intense competition washed over her.

Despite the pressure, Esther remained composed, holding steadfast to the belief that she would distinguish herself during the assessment.

After securing her seat, Esther noticed Logan entering, now clad as an instructor. He casually positioned the roster on the lectern and commenced, "Hello, everyone. I'm Logan Foster, your instructor for this assessment.

"This evaluation encompasses written tests, combat, marksmanship, and a free-choice segment.

"Three admission spots are up for grabs. The top three examinees in overall scores will secure immediate admission.

"No cheating is tolerated. If discovered, your qualification will be revoked. Best of luck to all."

With a nod from Logan, the staff distributed the test papers.

Esther received her paper and diligently tackled the questions, which proved to be straightforward. She completed the entire assessment in under 20 minutes.

Eager to move forward, she promptly raised her hand.

"What's the matter?" Logan's voice echoed with formality.

"I'm done," Esther declared.

Logan approached her and retrieved the paper. He gave a cursory glance and could tell a perfect score.

"Exit the room and turn right. That's where the combat assessment awaits."

Esther gathered her belongings and departed the exam room directly.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense, perhaps due to someone submitting their paper.

Despite Esther's patience, she preferred swift resolutions. Unwilling to waste time, she directly attacked her seemingly invincible opponent.

Esther was unaware that this second test assessed the ability to withstand psychological pressure.

When confronting such an opponent, should one bravely face it or cleverly handle the fight?

Of course, Esther opted to face it head-on, given her capabilities.

Following Agatha's teachings in medicine, she understood the distribution of acupuncture points in the human body. Even when facing a robust man, all problems could be easily solved by seizing the right moment and accurately targeting acupuncture points.

Esther initiated a feint. Taking advantage of subtle movements, she precisely struck the man's acupuncture points.

The man collapsed onto the combat platform like a small mountain, producing a resounding "bang".

"Can I proceed to the next assessment venue now?" she asked.
