Capítulo 4: Chapter 3- The Exam Begins
On a large platform in the middle of the forest, there were several young people scattered while they concentrated and focused to prepare for the imminent test that they would have to pass, while everyone was preparing hidden there were 2 young teachers who were in charge of this test area.
Banaheim - hahahaha these guys are really nervous, they remind me a bit of me when I did this test- commented one of the hidden teachers happily.
Gollheim - it is good that they are cautious, in this world you never know what may happen in the next second and if you want to survive you will have to be prepared for everything - the other teacher answered disinterestedly.
Banaheim- you know Goll you should be a little less strict and moody from time to time, although life is not always good things neither are they bad things, look I have a feeling that today they will give us an important job- he said with a very sincere smile, but at the same time provocative.
Gollheim- well, if that really happens I will spend all day smiling and thinking positively, but if it doesn't happen you will have to keep your mouth shut for the next week- I answer with a contemptuous and at the same time provocative look.
Hearing that, Banaheim doubted for a moment since that would be a very unfavorable bet for him, but the fact of seeing this insensitive and negative partner wearing a forced smile on his face all the time was really tempting for what he ended up accepting, but shortly after came a noise that gave him a feeling of crisis.
- SHIT! -
Suddenly from the center of the platform where all the participants arrive, a clear and forceful curse was heard before with a flash a young man appeared and crashed firmly with the platform generating a hollow sound.
Cain- What the hell is going on? Those bastards from the registration area are so overbearing, they don't even care about my opinion and they just threw me as they pleased- he muttered sulkily as he got up and dusted off his clothes.
Looking around, I notice that all the participants were glaring at him, very possibly because of the curse he yelled before being thrown, but for Cain that could not matter less and he directly went to a corner of the platform to wait while mentally cursing at That secretary and the golden guard who was thrown here.
It does not matter what, he would still have to take the stupid test, but looking at it on the positive side everyone here was clearly in the age range between 13-14 years and if what he had to pass was the regular income test it would be a piece of cake for him.
Shortly after the light shone again as Bosfor and Helael appeared out of nowhere, Bosfor had an unpleasant look on his face since he could not believe what had just happened, although everything was chaotic and senseless besides that commoner was certain The fact that all this has happened and the certain "preferential" treatment he received left a bad taste in his mouth was damaged in a way.
And that feeling of discomfort only increased when noticing the commoner sitting in a corner of the altar in a bad mood, although it is true that they made him repeat the entrance test, shouldn't they be sent to take a proper test? The fact that they simply put him on the regular test along with all the other younger ones can certainly be seen as preferential treatment.
But in the end, Bosfor managed to calm down as he still believed that he would be superior to that commoner despite the age difference and that it was probably because of the weak strength that he was sent to the regular entrance exam.
So she simply found a place to settle in and prepare for the test, Helael simply glanced at Cain for a moment before following Bosfor and preparing for the test.
Meanwhile, in a certain hidden place in the vicinity of Banaheim, he felt depressed, when he said with such confidence that today they would have an important job the world suddenly decides to send a problem boy to his test zone, this boy was clearly thrown to this place against of his will and Banaheim doesn't even want to think about what reasons there might be behind it, the only thing he could be sure of was that the fact that he was thrown into his zone meant that the superiors did not look kindly on them.
Beside him, the always serious and unfriendly Gollheim had a rarely satisfied expression on his face and he was looking at Banaheim with an "I told you so" face but just as he was about to speak he felt something and put his hand in his vest looking for something, from the vest He took out a small metal plate with many inscriptions and symbols on one side and the carving of a dragon on the other which glowed, and suddenly for some reason he felt a sudden sense of crisis ...
After a few minutes people stopped appearing in the center of the altar, which meant that all the participants from this area had already arrived and soon the test would begin, Cain had finally mentally retaliated and began to give the contestants a small review, Besides Bosfor and Helael de Damael he also met the boy in noble and wild clothes who arrived in the carriage earlier to the registration area and also learned that he was Eimfred Zabusora from the conversations around him, a young prince of the Zabusora empire, who he was known for his great talent and ferocity
Just as Lusdar Bergale, who was another relatively special VIP character who came to this test zone, came from one of the most powerful kingdoms after empires, the Bergale kingdom, and was the son of the strongest archduke in this kingdom, it is incredibly talented and thanks to that and his background he won the VIP privilege without being affiliated with any empire
There were also a few more interesting contestants but I did not study them in-depth as I did not think it was necessary, and it was at that moment that two people suddenly appeared in the middle of the square, they were two young examiners who appeared to be under 25 years old and had elegant masters robes at Dagandri academy
One had a natural kind and friendly face which instinctively engendered trust in others, while the second ... had a square and determined face along with an imposing and intimidating aura like that of a serious instructor, but he wore a forced smile on his face that couldn't be more fake as he looked awkwardly ahead destroying his intimidating previous image
Banaheim- Hello everyone, I am Banaheim, one of the new instructors of the Dagandri academy and this is my partner Gollheim, today we will be in charge of the entrance test and we will make sure that everything happens correctly-
Banaheim barely holding back his inner laughter as he explained his part about the test and examined all the examinees one by one with his gaze stopping from time to time on some like Cain or Bosfor
Banaheim- well this test will be very simple and comprehensive in its capabilities, they will be distributed in groups of 3 and they will have to cross the TianFa forest behind us, although it is only a replica of a small part of the real one, it is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal so they must be very careful when crossing it, if you think you cannot continue, stay hidden in a safe place and when you finish the test someone will go for you- at the end he gave a meaningful look at the uncomfortable and smiling Gollheim
Gollheim- Good for extra security we will give you some temporary communication tokens, if you encounter a mortal danger that you cannot handle you just need to put a little energy on the token and the magic inscription will activate, give a rescue signal and We will go as soon as possible, but you have to be aware that using this token is the same as giving up the test and you will be disqualified for doing so-
Although he looked extremely uncomfortable speaking with a forced smile on his face the entire time his tone emphasized the importance of safety and no one could take it as a joke.
Banaheim- finally your teams will be chosen by the same token, insert a little energy in the part of the carving and it will give you a number, those with the same number will be part of the same team.
The token was a small piece of wood with many complicated inscriptions and symbols on one side and the carving of a serpent on the other, it could be understood that using energy to activate the inscription would send the signal for help.
Cain stared at the inscription for a while with interest, he never had much contact with studies in magic let alone magical inscriptions which are of an even higher level, but he could feel the mana circulating in each line of the inscriptions making him curious how. they worked and what effects it might have.
Then he injected a little energy into the head of the snake on the other side of the card and his eyes began to shine, then little by little an illusory floating number came out which was 6, which would be the number of his team, Cain. I look around looking for his teammates and notice something peculiar, a team was made up exclusively of VIPs which was Bosfor's, with him, Helael, and Lusdar belonging to the same team and even the other VIP Eimfred was with two outstanding students with a relatively great fame
Cain- Hmm, it's too much of a coincidence that the two little princes from Damael and that boy from Bergale are on the same team, can teachers manipulate the choice of the team? - Cain murmured feeling that something was wrong, but unable to locate what it was
¿? - Hello mate, are you also from team 6? -
At that moment a young and squeaky voice spoke to him from the side surprising him, when he turned around he found a short and plump boy next to him looking at him with a pleasantly surprised look
Baeron- Oh, excuse my rudeness, I am Baeron and I am 14 years old, I am a gentleman specialized in exploration and as you can see I give birth to team 6 - he said with an incredibly friendly voice while pointing to the illusory 6 that was floating next to him
Cain was shocked for a moment before showing up and start chatting with the little chubby, but he did not look very strong was incredibly easy to get along with them so Cain liked enough this type
Not long after a hooded person approached them and stood by their side, he had an illusory 6 floating next to him so he did not need words to explain his reason, and Cain or Baeron asked him anything
Upon brief examination, Cain hates to say that she was a girl who was simply hiding for some reason, but he couldn't tell how strong she was, at least she should be of the regular age between 13-14 years.
Baeron- It's good that I played with you Cain you look so tall and strong for sure it will be easier to pass this test with you, by the way, what do you specialize in? -
Baeron who was still talking friendly as always suddenly asked a question that seemed to catch the attention of everyone around, Although Cain was clearly older and had some advantage over everyone here this same reason can also degrade his strength since they are barely examining him with the regular boys from 13-14 years old when someone over 14 takes the admission test they are usually given a separate test much more complicated than this at their level, so many were curious about their strength or specialization
Cain suddenly sat up and stared like a rooster in the morning about to wake everyone up in the barn.
Cain- isn't that obvious? I am a knight specialized in close combat, and a very strong one at that- he said with an expression of pride on his face.
But this surprised everyone around him including the hooded girl, although Cain was quite tall even for someone his age, he did not have a muscular body or thick arms, he was more of the slender and graceful type that would fit a wizard or hunter. In addition to the fact that his face would be better for him to be a slightly more "elegant" specialization, but definitely, a close combat knight would be the last thing that would occur to you when looking at him.
In this world, depending on your talent and particularities, you can choose many paths to follow, mainly divided into 3 general routes, the Knights, the Mages, and the Paladins.
Knights are normally those who were born with a low magical affinity, but with great talents in physical and martial arts aspects, although they have little affinity to mana, they can train and convert the mana of their environment into a special "battle aura" that would be Based on their strength, each knight has a slightly different "battle aura" but when trained well it is not inferior to any of the spells or mana of a wizard of the same rank
Magicians are generally those who are born with a high affinity for mana and have talent at manipulating it, magicians are almost always powerful "crystal cannons", as they have a terrifying attack and destructive power but in close combat, they are as fragile as crystal. , but powerful magicians always have many tricks even for close combat so they cannot be underestimated
And finally, the Paladins are a mix between magicians and knights, the paladins are trained for both close and distant combat, they train both the mana and the "battle aura" so they are very versatile and powerful in all situations, but subsequently, training as a paladin is very difficult, not only must you have a high talent both physically and spiritually but also a lot of understanding and dedication
The biggest problem with being a paladin is that it spends too much time and training, just reaching the bronze grade as a knight would take half a year for normal people, and for magicians, it would be 7-8 months, now imagine what would it be like training both? Someone who divides their attention and focuses on two things will never be the best in so that although paladins are integrally strongest are almost always the weakest in the same age range
And normally one can recognize each type of warrior by his physical appearance since it will be denoted in his temperament and when seeing Cain the first thing that comes to mind is "an elegant magician"
Baeron was only stunned for a moment before speaking happily, "Are you really a gentleman too?" Hahahaha I really thought you were a magician, but even if you are a gentleman you must definitely be very strong-
?? - Of course, he will be after all he is much older than us, if he was not even at our level it would be a great shame - the hooded figure said suddenly, deliberately changing his voice to a thicker and more masculine voice.
Cain who was happily talking to Baeron suddenly heard his contemptuous words and his temper suddenly returned
Cain- That is quite correct, but it is not as if I had chosen to be tested together with brats like you, besides I am not as old as you say at most I am a year and a half older than you and even so I do not choose to hide behind a long old cloth, what do you think you are? A mountain bandit? Or are you so ugly that you are afraid to show your appearance? - Cain replied angrily, it's okay for her to stay quiet and not interact but don't even think that she can blatantly scold him and still feel superior
?? - You ... - the girl was so angry at his words that she did not even know what to say, also did not know how the cheeky boy knew that she was a woman, she wore a full-body hood and deliberately changed her voice and still that guy said it so confidently
At that time everyone had already organized into their respective teams and the two examiners caught everyone's attention while explaining the rules of the trial and dangerous areas to be taken account, the platform they were on was in the middle of the forest, they could take any direction and as long as they manage to get out of the forest, the test will end and they pass, it was forbidden to directly or indirectly attack other teams or for several teams to work together unless one team is in mortal danger, another cannot help under any circumstances and they could use whatever method they have in the forest to survive as long as it doesn't affect other teams or their teammates
After their explanations, the two examiners simply disappeared into thin air, leaving two words for all the examinees.
Good luck
