Capítulo 19: The Vampire tests
The test was to be taken in different places but different places were governed by different instructors. For example those in technology were instructed by artificial intelligence computer assistants unlike the other groups. The magic section was instructed by great wizards and witches known as Mages. The combat was instructed by teachers with great skills incomparable to those of knights or special force soldiers. The Dark was instructed by the Principal himself so very few really had the chance to enhance up to that level.

Hamburd then took the vampires in a specific room with different machinery and then gestured for them to stop.
' For today, we shall have a few tests to determine the level you are in. Remember you have no powers with you so you are as good as any human.So first will be strength followed by speed,combat tactics,reflexes,hearing and lastly intelligence.'
Everyone in the room seemed happy for the tests seemed simple compared to what they expected. The vampire families always had it as a culture to train their children from childhood even before joining school so they had the combat skills, were flexible and agile. So upon hearing what Hamburd had said, everyone seemed joyous.
' For strength, you only have to punch that red part on the pyramid tower machine and see the stars you will light up.There is a total of ten stars so the number of stars you light up will determine the level you are in strength.The total points will be combined and your level will be displayed on the wrist watch.So you can head for the stage.'
The students headed off for the stage one by one would go and give their best punch but most of them would only light half a star while others didn't light up.Then a screen in the room then displayed the ranking of the students with previews of how the top three hand lit up the stars. Olivier came first having lit two stars followed by Hedrick who lit 1¾ and then a girl named Lyn Malls who lit 1½ stars. The rest who performed well lit one star and included Olivier's friends who rather looked like side kicks if not servants.
' Nice work everyone. Though some of you have not lit up any star, it doesn't mean you are bad or you can't do better in the remaining tests. Some even don't level up from here but as time goes on, the become actually the best.So don't feel bad because I believe you can actually do better.' Hamburd gave a word of comfort to the students.
' The next test will be combat. This time we shan't fight will each other for we are new, so we shall rather use the training equipment in this matter. But keep this in mind, as time goes on you will have to rather face each other than the machine and another thing don't undermine any training equipment.'
Having said that a wooden robot came up to the front and stood at one end of the combat platform or ring. Hedrick then went up front and held the sword he had gotten earlier in his hand ready to fight.
' Why would any vampire need a sword or weapon?' one of Olivier's friends asked.
' I guess he is scared since he is quite weak.' another replied.
The students who had had the conversation began laughing but Olivier noticed one who was rather not interested in the scenario but was rather eye fixed on Hedrick. It was the girl who had gotten third place in the strength test, Lyn.
' You don't need to look at him for I'm match better than him. '
' it's better if you kept those words for yourself. I bet if you really will even perform half of what he can.'
' Just wait and see. '
' Place your bet. '
' I'm from a poor family and not wealthy so I can only bet with me. If you perform half of him, I'll be your personal maid.'
' Okay.'
' If I fail, I'll do whatever you ask me to.'
' Okay deal! '
The battle was now about to begin as the eyes of the wooden robot began to light red and hence began to attack. The battle began and the two wolves seemed well matched. The swords swung in air as Hedrick twisted side to side and kicked it had hard making it move a few meters backwards. The eyes once again began to light but this time with an orange color and after some time a message popped up on the screen saying Level Completed. The students were quite happy for they thought their wish had been granted. If a person with a human sword could defeat the robot what makes a vampire fail to do so. Olivier climbed up the stage and the robot lit red. The battle started but he only managed to stay undefeated for ten minutes.Lyn completed the red level but was immediately defeated immediately the robot lit orange. The students tried their best but all of them including Olivier's friends were knocked out immediately the battle began. Hedrick topped the list followed by Lyn and then Olivier and the rest followed.
' Good work so far. The second last test will be a combination of both hearing and reflexes. All you need to do is enter that glass cage and dodge as many balls as you can but I have to warn you the speed changes with the process in different levels. Make sure you are not hit by any ball while steal in air. Good luck everyone. '
One of Olivier's friends went in first and all light in the cage were turned off leaving darkness. The rest of the students were able to see everything inside unlike the guy inside. A ball came from a random direction but good enough he dodged again and again until he caught one that was about to hit his face and the machine told him that he had failed the test at level two. Lyn was next one at did her best until she stopped at the level five. Olivier stopped at level three and so did Hedrick. All the students atleast had passed level one here and hence had a smile on their faces. The results were displayed on the screen once again with Lyn being the first followed by Hedrick and then Olivier while the rest followed.
