"I didn't expect there would be something this complicated in Tensor World," Arata murmured as he walked away from the vendor's booth with the hero's mask on. He was only interested in the information at first, but he felt curious about the hero. Plus, it was a way to help the vendor share this information with him.
"..." - Arata stared at the mask in his hands and felt that he had seen it before, but unfortunately he could not remember, so he decided to just ignore it.
From the information he obtained from the seller, it appears that the Vampiers are the ones who control the church and the Luminous religion, and it seems that Luminous is also the Demon Lord and is the legitimate ruler of the Vampiers.
But the most useful thing for Arata was that he knew a way to get out of this underground city, which was to register as a knight in the church under the order of the Crusaders.
Fortunately, it appears that there will be recruitment next week, as it appears that the church is preparing for a large-scale war not long ago.
For this reason, Arata decided to visit the library to get books to study, as the test did not focus only on combat power. There was a written test in many subjects, such as history, mathematics, and language, to verify whether he could read and write.
Arata soon arrived at the library as there were many offices throughout the city where Vampiers seemed to pay a lot of attention to books.
Arata quickly collected the books that the seller had described to him before leaving and heading to the Silver Moon Inn, as break time was almost over.
A week quickly passed while Arata studied for the exams.
"Good luck, Arata-chan," the owner said, waving to Arata, who was leaving as it was time for the exam.
This week, Arata immersed himself in studying at all times except for work, so time passed without him noticing, but fortunately he was able to memorize everything before test time.
That's why he was going for the test without worry as he remembered the entire content of all the books.
"..." - Luminous stared at Arata's back and did not say anything as she knew that he could pass the test even if he did nothing since she was in control of the entire church.
"Thank you for taking care of me all this time," Arata said and lightly bowed towards the two as they had been so kind to him during his stay.
"Don't forget to visit us from time to time," the middle-aged woman said with a slight smile.
"Of course." - Arata nodded with a small smile before looking at Luminous - "Take care."
"You too," Luminous said calmly, without any visible fluctuations on her face.
"Goodbye," Arata said and headed towards the testing site, as he had registered three days ago and had been informed of the testing site yesterday.
The first test was about establishing the Luminous cult, then writing, reading, history, mathematics, etc.

"Wonderful," Arata murmured as he arrived at the bright white church, the desired location where the written test would be held, in the inner hall of the church.
Arata was truly surprised that this city was so similar to the Underworld in terms of architecture.
"..." - Despite his astonishment, Arata quickly gathered himself together and entered Gate No. 2, where the test would be held.
After entering Gate No. 2, Arata followed the directions and arrived at Hall No. 22, where his test would be held.
Arata quickly found his seat and sat quietly while looking at the people around him.
The hall was very spacious, but there were only 12 people in it, in addition to Arata, and all the people present had a fair amount of strength, as there is a strict combat test and the weak are not allowed to register, even as your magic power will be measured, in addition to that you need additional skill. At least one.
When registering, Arata did not care and displayed his unique skill, Black Flame, which made many things easier for him, one of which was not having an ID or official documents, and even with this, they allowed him to register since he was emitting a Dampier aura.
Arata did not wait long until a beautiful woman entered the hall with a bunch of papers.
The woman was beautiful, with golden hair, red eyes, and a curvy, plump body.
"I am the supervisor, and I will supervise you for the next three hours until the end of all the paper tests," the beautiful woman said seriously, "There is one rule, which is that as long as I do not know, everything is permitted."
But her seriousness quickly turned into a contemptuous smile and she continued, "But I doubt your ability to escape my surveillance with your pitiful strength."
Upon hearing the surveillance's words, there were many different reactions, but no one dared to speak, as the sickness emanating from the surveillance was terrifying.
"..." - Arata stared at the surveillance indifferently as he did not need to cheat and even he was confident that he could cheat without the surveillance noticing him.
In terms of statistics, the Monitor was stronger than Arata, but Arata was confident that he could defeat her if he used his strength and skills without retreating.
"There are 6 tests in total, and you must score 70 points in each test to pass," the examiner said, and the papers flew and landed in front of all those present. "And now the test begins, and you have 3 hours to finish."
"..." - Arata stared at the test paper for a while before picking up the quill and starting to answer the questions very quickly since the test was very easy for him.
The observer did not care about them and sat on her seat and closed her eyes quietly as if she was sleeping, but unfortunately she was not like that as she was using her additional skill Magic Sense to monitor the entire hall.
Of course, Arata noticed that the Monitor was using her skill to make sure there was no cheating, but he didn't care and ignored the matter.
It wasn't just Arata who noticed this as there were a few other people who noticed this thing, but unfortunately there were some idiots who did not know this and started cheating without hiding it as the surveillance did not see them.
But even with their blatant cheating, the observer still sits there with her eyes closed and does not seem to intend to stop them or do anything to them.
Soon time passed and the three hours allotted for the written exam ended.
"Time is up," the invigilator said and opened her eyes before getting up and scanning the examinees with her frightened look before pointing at each other. "You, you, and you, get out and don't come back to the test again, as we don't need idiots who can't use their brains properly." .
"Wh..." - One of the people who had been pointed at wanted to object, but quickly fell silent as he felt frightened by the terrifying aura that the surveillance gave off.
"Get out immediately," said the observer, unleashing her magic power. Additionally, she used an intimidation-type skill, causing the people concerned to become frightened and hurriedly flee.
"Whoever is left should follow me to the next exam place," the observer said before leaving, as other people would come to correct the exam papers and they would finish correcting with the end of the combat exam.
