Chapter 12: Academy-2
"Is someone with this type of face supposed to be here"
"Are you sure he is a human"
"He is F- rank after five years, seems his looks is all he's got"
"Too bad I won't get to see such face in class"
As they talked and pointed and whispered about my face and low rank I didn't even flinch because I know they are in for a surprise, my father who was behind just stood there without saying anything.
A few minutes later it was my turn, the man attending to me is from the elf race, he too was handsome as all elves are normally handsome.
"What's your name" he asked without looking up
"NULL Anthony" I replied
Then he typed fast across his laptop and brought up my profile, then he raised his eyes to confirm it was me, then our eyes met.
There I knew the professor was charmed too, but like an expert, it took him only two seconds to recover and he went back to professional mode and kept a straight face like he wasn't asking in his mind how can a handsome person exist.
"Verified, you may enter" he said
I turned back and glanced at my father, we nodded at each other, I went into the exam hall, my farher was at..... Well I don't know
But he will be somewhere observing the battle exam.
I entered the hall and I saw numerous people, pretty sure they are over ten million. I couldn't believe it ten million people all within the age of 15 to 17 (the academy doesn't accept once you are 18). All from different races, all sitting and waiting, some talking, some just sat on the floor as there are no seats here and some gaze into space, some sleeping, some eating, some meditating.
I just found a corner, bought a chair from the system shop.....well more like a comfy throne, I sat on it and crossed my legs and folded arms and closed my eyes and waited for them, even with my eyes closed I can still see using All seeing eyes, which I found out two years ago. Some looked at me weirdly, some murmured but I didn't care, I just waited for this to be over.
After waiting for two hours, it was finally 12PM. Immediately it hit the time, the entrance door closed, a woman appeared out of nowhere, though I already saw her floating while hiding in space when I entered, she was shocked when I saw her, but I didn't speak to her, I just sat down.
She was the Vice President, 'The Blood Empress'.
Before she appeared, I already stood up and put the chair into my space ring, it would be weird if the chair disappeared and she didn't see it in my space ring.
Immediately she appeared, everyone stood up, as everyone recognised her for her power and beauty, her waist length blood red hair dancing in air as if they were listening to the songs of the wind.
Then she said, "You all are here for the exam,the first exam would be a written exam, the second would be a battle exam
Both would determine those who qualify for the final and 3rd round, out of you millions, we are only picking a thousand, so take your first and second round seriously"
She raised her jade like hand and snapped her fingers and everyone in the room were teleported into another room that was enclosed, I looked around and saw no way for exit or entrance, all of us were seated.
"Infront of you is your question paper, answer them immediately, the written exam starts by 12:30 and ends by 2:30, you have two hours to finish this, when i disappear it signifies the beginning of the exam, when i appear it's the end"
As she was speaking my mind wandered off, I thought 'There must be a reason she is here, there is no way someone of her status and level would supervise an exam that even the lowest level professor could do' as I thought that, I used All seeing eyes on everyone in the class.
Then I finally understood why she was here, she was probably here to observe up close someone she planned to take in as a disciple.
I looked forward and I saw a vampire girl sitting comfortably in the A- rank mana rank but her aura didn't show it, she radiated a D-rank aura.
'It seems many people are playing the pig to eat the tiger' I thought
There were many B rankers here but not a single one of them showed it, even the small number of A ranks
As I was thinking of other things, she listed the rules and disappeared, of course she is still here hiding in space. I flipped my paper and looked at the questions.
20 question for 100 marks, 5 marks each, all these questions are too basic that I don't even have to think to know it, I just went straight and answered them, I wrote at a normal pace, not fast, but not slow either, but my pen never stopped and in 30 minutes I was done.
I flipped over the paper and slept off, the rules says if you are done flip over and wait, so that's what I did.
When time was over she appeared again, she didn't even move but the papers were pulled by some force and neatly arranged itself in front of her and disappeared.
She looked around and said "The practical part would start by 3pm sharp, start arranging what you need, you will be teleported to the 'boran forest' where you will hunt for 3 hours, the beast there rank from F to A rank"
She snapped her finger again and watches appeared on everyone wrist, I couldn't help but marvel at her space control, displacing and placing however she wants, she really mastered her art.
"Those watches are the school wrist watch, it will display everyone's ranking on it, the rank of beast you kill give corresponding points, if you feel you are in danger, just destroyed the watch, with magic or brute strength or whatever, you will be teleported out"
Then a fairy raised her hand, seeming to want to ask a question, The vice president nodded,
Then the fairy asked "Can we fight other people for their points?"
I looked at her and smiled, she really did ask the million dollar question, everyone had this question in their head.
The vice president smiled and said
"Yes you can, if you defeat them, you get half their points, but if they defeat you, you lose it all, also you don't have to randomly look for people, just select anybody on the ranking and the watch would show you their location, follow the map it shows you and you will met your target, it also shows how much time is left of the 3 hours you have" with that she disappeared again.
Everyone was shocked at her answer, they would lose all point if they attacked someone and ended up loosing, that means before you make a move be sure, it even gave tracking function.
Everyone in the hall started memorizing people weaker than them so if they saw them they would attack Immediately, I chuckled at their games.
The vice principal listed more rules, like no potion and use only your weapon and all that, basically no external influence is allowed, once caught, they will be disqualified totally, not even a matter of losing point, the person should just try the exam again next year if they are not older than 17.
With that everyone brought out what they need from their storage rings, cross checked, stretched to enter perfect condition, this was their future on the line here.
I only brought out my sword which I tied to my waist, this was my first battle in this life, I couldn't wait.
Once it was 3PM she appeared again and snapped her fingers.
