Chapter 191 Goodbye of a Century

Easy? How could the final exam of the Lumina Crysalis Guild be easy?

As a 9th-tier guild with the authority to directly recommend people for admission to the Origin Arcana Institute, their test was far from easy.

It was easier just to pass the regular trial than to follow the path offered by them.

"Pardon?" Hudge asked.

"Ahem, I mean I would like to suggest making the exam more challenging," Maximus repeated, feeling embarrassed by his previous words.

"Is this for your children?"

"That\'s right, these kids have been growing more arrogant lately."

"The students of this batch are indeed talented," Hudge also nodded.

Reviewing the profiles of each student and conducting statistics.

Hudge noticed a significant increase in the number of talented students.

Besides the family members of the apex sovereigns and prominent families.

There were also individuals like Maximus, who had their children study at their guild.

It seemed that these people had been working hard recently.

"What do you think?" Maximus inquired.

"We do need to increase the difficulty of the exam," Hudge finally agreed.

"However, I\'m not sure if Lord Maximus has a specific suggestion."

"What about setting the exam\'s difficulty to match that of the official student trial?"

"This... It\'s not appropriate, Lord Maximus."

"If we do that, there wouldn\'t be anyone who can pass," Hudge immediately rejected the idea.

If no one passed, it would imply that Lumina Crysalis Guild\'s education had failed.

After all, their students were less than a hundred years old, merely beginning their journey.

Usually, people who took the official student trial were over a thousand years old.

Moreover, Lumina Crysalis Guild primarily taught foundational knowledge shaping these children\'s talents.

They focused on basics, cultivating their way of thinking, survivability, and, most importantly, their willpower.

This would benefit them more than teaching advanced knowledge that they could just learn later.

"I mean, simply make the difficulty level the same as the official student trial," Maximus explained.

"There\'s no need for elaborate missions and objectives."

"To pass the trial, they don\'t need to rely on professional knowledge, strength, and skills."

"The trial will only test and grind their willpower."

"I see, understood," Hudge nodded and fell into thought.

The two discussed further details and specific aspects, including setting two passing criteria.

Those who barely passed could become part of the Institute as seekers.

While those who passed the test normally could immediately become official students.

This can easily done by reporting it to the dean, and with the corresponding difficulty of the test, there should be no issues.

"Just leave it to me; I will make sure to humble these students and bring down their arrogance," Hudge promised.

"Then I look forward to it," Maximus smiled in satisfaction.

...

A week later, at Maximus\' manor:

His children, Ella, Amara, and Zoe, were talking happily as they waited with a touch of boredom for the final exam.

The exam took place in the virtual world, so there was no need to go outside.

Originally, Amara and Zoe were still not eligible for the final exam.

Still, thanks to Maximus\'s relationship with Hudge, he managed to open a back door for them.

"Anyway, if they pass, that means there\'s nothing more that the Lumina Crysalis can teach." He thought

As for Lux, he was still a little kid with nothing but money.

"Are you not nervous?" Maximus asked.

"Don\'t worry, Dad. We\'ve already watched the previous exams; they\'re not that difficult," Max comforted.

"You\'re just too worried, Dad. We\'re already so big," Sam muttered.

"Dad is just concerned about us," Lily tried to defend Maximus.

"That\'s right, Dad just loves us too much, that\'s why he\'s worried," Lyla happily said and came to hug Maximus.

"Right, Dad?~" Lyla said cutely.

"You\'re indeed my little babies~," Maximus melted and kissed her cheeks.

"Dad, hug~," Serene and Cyra became a little jealous and also hugged him.

"Muah~"

"Muah~"

"How is your little babies comforting kiss, Dad?" 

"It\'s very effective," Maximus smiled and pinched their noses.

They were already over ten years old, but they were still as clingy as little babies.

"What about Lydia? Don\'t you love Dad anymore?" Maximus faked tears for his shy daughter.

"No, I will love Dad forever!" Lydia summoned her courage and said.

"Then what about my kiss?~"

"Oh," Lydia kissed his cheeks shyly.

Her cuteness also made him melt.

"What about Lily? Is Lily so big now?~" Maximus muttered, looking for Lily.

"Don\'t worry, Dad, I won\'t forget you!" Lily came from behind and hugged him.

"Really?~" Maximus looked behind and picked up Lily.

Lily had already grown up, nearly to his height.

However, picking her up still resembled a scene from a picture, as if he were holding her just like when she was a baby.

"Really," Lily said seriously.

"Hmm, Lily will also be in Father\'s heart forever..."

"How about you, naughty brats? Would you care to give your father a hug?" Maximus said forcefully.

He was like a sweet little dad to his daughter but to his sons,

Maximus couldn\'t bear to act the same way, especially Liam and Max, who were already his height.

If it weren\'t for the hint of immaturity, one might think they were just brothers.

"Do you need a kiss too?" Max asked playfully and hugged his father.

"What a naughty brat!" Maximus muttered as he ruffled Max\'s hair.

"Hehe, I thought you wanted my kiss too."

"Go away! It\'s the others\' turn," Maximus said, pushing the cheeky brat aside.

"Dad," Nathan said as he briefly hugged him.

"You have indeed grown into a fine young man," Maximus praised, glancing at Zoe.

"Be careful in the trial," he added, patting Nathan.

After Nathan, he didn\'t have to wait long before Sam and Luke tackled him.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"More cheeky brats~," Maximus smiled as he hugged them back.

"We will miss you, Dad!" Sam said.

They didn\'t know why, but seeing how their father acted.

They had a premonition that it would be a long time before they would meet again.

"Don\'t worry, everything will be fine," Maximus smiled wryly.

Their premonition was right; their exam this time would last exactly a century.

To train their will, time was the most important factor.

Living only for over a decade, Maximus couldn\'t help but worry about them.

In the trial, they would only have each other.

Now, it would be the last time they could see their parents for a century.

"Is there something wrong, Dad?" Liam couldn\'t hold his curiosity any longer and asked.

"The exam this time is different," Maximus shook his head and didn\'t say more.

However, the others also got some.

They realized that the difficulty of the exam would be more difficult, which made them solemn.

Don\'t let their carefree attitude fool you, as they trained like crazy outside.

Skye even advised them to slow down a little due to their craziness.

But how could they?

Just the thought of disappointing their parents was heartbreaking.

They didn\'t really underestimate the exam.

It was just a show for their parents, so they didn\'t worry needlessly.

Maximus also knew this, but he still did his best to increase the exam\'s difficulty regardless.

Growing up his children rarely meet any obstacle, everything is easy for them.

Without enough tempering the height that they can reach will be limited.

It\'s okay for him as he had a system, but for his children, he wanted the best for them.

"Don\'t worry, Dad! You have to trust us!" Liam stood up and livened the atmosphere.

"Look at Neo, there isn\'t even a hint of worry on his face!" Liam pointed.

"Isn\'t he just sleeping?" Maximus\'s mouth twitched as he looked at Neo, who was still snoring as if having a beautiful dream.

"It just means there\'s nothing to worry about!" Liam said confidently.

"Alright, no need to comfort me; I know you can easily pass this exam."

"I\'m just worried that you\'ll miss us too much."

"Hehe, maybe it\'s you who will miss us, Dad!" Liam laughed as he put his arm on his father\'s shoulder.

"You\'ve really grown up," Maximus also put his arm on his son\'s shoulder.

"Who do you think is more handsome, me or Dad?" Liam shifted the topic and asked.

"Of course, it\'s Dad. Duh!"

"You\'re just a little boy who hasn\'t grown up yet!" Lily teased, making Amara chuckle.

With Maximus and his wives\' genes, their children were undoubtedly handsome and beautiful.

However, comparing Maximus and Liam was like comparing day and night.

Maximus had a distinctive aura that elevated his appearance to another level, while Liam just looked like a pretty boy.

"Hey, who said earlier that I\'m more handsome than Dad," Liam muttered, looking at Amara.

Seeing this, Amara turned her head shyly.

"You just coaxed Amara into saying that!" Lyla immediately spilled the secret.

"Oh, Brother is really domineering, forcing others to do what he wants," Max added.

As they joked, the atmosphere returned to normal.

His wives also came in to bond with the children before the trial.

Maximus told them earlier about the details of the trial.

There was also Denise and Stefan, Zoe\'s father.

They came to say one last goodbye before the children\'s century-long journey.
