A slack-jawed Harry could only stare at Rocky because he knew Rocky was completely correct. The spirit-manipulated beast's spleen and stomach were weak to the cold, especially at night. Its inner organs would feel extremely cold. Thus, it had to work harder to breathe at night which caused it to snore.
Even Mary was stunned when she heard Rocky took his sow as an example and managed to guess the correct answer. When she nodded towards Harry to signal him to continue the exam, her face grew dark because she didn't believe that Rocky could answer correctly again.
"Do you know what causes spirit-manipulated beasts to tremble and feebly limp? There are normally three possible causes. You need to tell me at least one." Harry continued the interview.
"That seems difficult..." Embarrassment stole over Rocky's face as he shook his head and carded his fingers through his hair.
On the other hand, Mary's face crumpled into a sneer. It wasn't a difficult question but without frequent contact with spirit-manipulated beasts, it was impossible to answer. She heard from Willie that Rocky had only been working at the beast farm for less than ten days; therefore, it was impossible for him to know much about spirit-manipulated beasts.
Other interviewees around the interview area also whispered to each other as they tried to guess the answer but obviously, not one of them had the answer.
A few more quiet moments passed before Mary sniffed in disdain, "If you can't answer the question, then get out of here now. Don't make a fool of yourself!"
Rocky clapped his hands and laughed to himself as if he remembered something amusing. He answered, "By the way, my sow had difficult labor two months ago. The piglets were so pitiful! They went to heaven before they could even be born! Before the sow gave birth, it trembled and its limbs were feeble. As a result, it was difficult for her to give birth. Is it possible that spirit-manipulated beasts will shiver and lose their strength too when they're having difficult labor?"
Several people in the crowd burst into laughter when they heard Rocky's reply. However, the judges, including Mary and Harry and other beast curers, were frozen in shock because it truly was one of the three reasons. In general, strong and powerful spirit-manipulated beasts wouldn't shiver or suffer feeble limbs. If it did happen, it would either be because of a difficulty in giving birth or its spiritual source was damaged. Therefore, Rocky guessed correctly again.
"Miss Mary, he's correct." Generally, as long as the candidate could answer two successive questions successfully, he would pass. All Harry could do was look imploringly at Mary.
When the others heard that Rocky's answer was right, they could only wonder why he was so lucky. He answered two consecutive questions and guessed the answers correctly both times.
When Mary didn't say anything, Harry took it that he had to continue with the test. Thus, he kept asking more questions.
What he didn't expect was for Rocky to answer every question correctly just by taking his family's sows as examples.
