The next day seemed a tough as the school had organised tests for the new students. This was done to differentiate the different powers of the new students hence could tell the real classes they had to take. Hamburd had arrived at the assembly point and so had many students except for a few. Moments later a few students was arriving later than the rest of the students and these included Hedrick, Olivier, Xia, Prosper and Kim.
' Seems you pretty had a nice sleep you rats.' Hamburd averred.
' No sir! Only these four were still sleeping.'
' Then what were you doing?'
Hedrick then began to scratch his head and then replied,' I was lying her bed. She said if I don't lay it, she was going to report that I seduced her.'
The students were in deep later as the silly words reached their ears.
' Who exactly?'
Hedrick then pulled out his arm and pointed making all eyes follow the direction until it landed on Mayla.The students once again began to laugh as Mayla face began to turn red once again.
' Okay I'll deal with you later depending on how you will perform at the test.You four can join the students but as for Hedrick, you won't participate in the first two test as a punishment for you.Mentrol is divided into four sections and each section is divided into other units but before that, we need to find out where each of you lies. The four sections include Vampire, Magic, Human and lastly the Dark. The Dark is a special unit as hence only a few will be admitted there. In all the years only five people's ever since the establishment of the school have ever been admitted there. As four the others section, I guess everyone had already known the details before hand.'
He then led the students to a building that was doom shaped and the outer walls made of glass. Rita then arrived from the inside as the glass wall began to divide until a large arch-shaped entrance door was formed. They then proceeded and headed inside. The inside was well seemed smaller than its actual appearance on the outside. The building was divided into four separate section with each section well equipped with training and testing machines that were far much advanced than the 21st century earthly machines.
' Morning everyone, today we shall divide you into different sections and that will depend on how you will perform in each test.'
' First, the vampires won't need to take part in the first test for you don't have magic. All you will have to do is place you hand on the orb and wait for it to shine.'
The vampires then decided to move aside and give space for others to try out.
' Kim Song you go first. '
' Kim Song? I remember him saying he's Lee Song not Kim Song.'
' Yeah you are right. My mother is Kim while my father is Lee.'
' Oh! I see.'
' Next will be Xia then Mayla and rest will follow after.'
The test was done and ten students including Kim were chosen.They then proceeded headed to the second section with different weapons and armor. Each student chose a weapon that fitted his taste except those that had acquired magic and the vampires who felt there was no need to use weapons. Mayla picked a silver bow while Hedrick picked a sword with a pair of daggers on the sheath. Prosper chose a garment with claws on forming a fist and fingers with boots that enhanced one's speed on a go.
' Vampires please follow Mr. Hamburd and the rest please follow me.'
More than 20 students followed Mr.Hamburd and the rest followed Rita where Hedrick decided to fall. But something was not adding up on Mr. Mofasana's screen. He could see two boys who looked the same but at different places.He could tell it was the boy who had beaten the third years, but how the hell was the boy to be in different places at the same time.
' Let's see how you are gonna play it this time boy.'
A female teacher entranced the room where the group of Madam Rita had paraded in wait for the next instructions. She was light skinned with a white clock that covered her whole body and with her was a small wand. The guys who were selected in the magic orb selection will follow Madam Red from here. The ten students who had been selected followed Madam Red out of the room leaving around 40 plus students with their weapons in hand.
' Don't worry. Your number is quite small and manageable. So we are first going to separate ourselves into different sections like combat, secret intelligence, technology and machinery and lastly messenger.'
Hedrick who had been quiet the whole time finally spoke and asked a question.
' Excuse me Madam, what about the Dark?'
Everyone wondered if really Hedrick had been with them throughout the whole process but again his question had arisen curiosity among the rest of the students. Madam Rita was quite amazed by the question the new-by had posed.
' As for the Dark, it isn't a place for every Tom, Dick and Harry.It is a place for only those who are called for a specific purpose. So if you are planning to join, best of luck but it can end up as your lifetime dream.'
' Aaaaah! I think it's quite scary.'
' Me too.'
' I don't wish to go there since even its name is scary.'
' Yeah me too.' the students were quite alarmed by the statement posed by Madam Rita.
' So what do I need to do to join there.'Hedrick inquired.
' You need to do beyond what many can't do.'
Rita replied with a smile and later continued.
' So those good at tracking and intelligence can move to that place there.'
' Don't you dare follow me.'Mayla warned as he pointed at Hedrick but he seemed rather far in thoughts. She snapped her fingers before him and finally spoke.
' Aaah..alas.. good luck.' he said with a smile and went back in his day dream.
This was quite surprising for Hedrick had been quiet ever since the beginning of the selection.
A small door began to form and and around 10 students entered including Mayla.
' The technology and machinery students can use that room.' And around fifteen students including Xia followed.
' Well the rest will go for combat.' a smile appeared on everyone's face except Hedrick who was rather awoken by the noise.
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.
