章節 4: Royal Military Examinations
I stepped into the test room, it was all dark but I noticed there were some combat robots in the room using my space sense.
All of a sudden, bright light shined everywhere in the room temporarily blinding me.
'They plan on blinding me and attacking with the robot to judge my reaction to battle.
Tsk space sense is like a cheat'
Turning my waist slightly to the right, I dodged an attack to my side and blocked a sword coming down at me from my left.
Something shocking happened to me, instead of the usual strain I feel when I blocked an attack, my hands moved on their own spinning the sword on my palm and hitting the robot in It's core with the strength of its own attack. It felt like I have been training that move for years, it felt like a part of me and it happened so fast.
I had to open my eyes to be sure my space sense wasn't tricking me.
The sword in my hand, embedded in the core of the robot while it shuts down in front of me was enough confirmation to what happened.
Another robot was approaching me at this point and I tried to do it again and the same results.
I couldn't help the mischievous smile on my lips as I made short work of all the robots
"Hehe… easy" wiping my shoulders like there was dust on it, I proceeded to the next room. And I noticed something, it seemed subtle but it felt like there was a time dilation in the other room so I started counting seconds in my mind to confirm and if there truly turn out to be a time awakener teacher in this school then I would be so lucky.
I entered the next room keeping my guard up, this is an examination and I don't want to blow it.
The first thing I saw was a huge arena and someone on It with a year 2 student uniform on him.
"Please step on the arena and you will be judged according to your performance. Please admit defeat when you wish to quit or you will be disqualified"
I stepped on the arena and bowed as the proper etiquette before a spar but the other dude just yawned.
"Let's get this over with quickly shall we?"
Wait I recognize that voice.
Blonde hair, golden eyes, tall, nice build and arrogant look.
The 12th prince?!!!
Fuck I have to spar with the most popular douche of the royal family.
"Fuuuu" I took a deep breath and unsheathed my sword and took a battle stance.
The prince didn't even bother to raise his weapon and sent a casual energy attack at me. I knew it wasn't casual, no one in the royal family is weak.
I decided to dodge early trusting my guts, and just a second later the attack suddenly started spinning and the speed went up fivefold and the wind generated slammed me to the side.
I got serious, this prince is acting casual because he wants me to drop my guard. I sent one space slash focusing on keeping the ripple to the lowest without even moving any part of my body but to my surprise he dodged it and smiled mockingly at me and disappeared.
I bent low but the bastard cut off a chunk of my hair from the back with his blade and my body
'he's fast.'
My body starts to move on its own while I was bending and sent a kick to the prince's side.
I caught a surprised look on his face and I myself wasn't expecting myself to launch an attack in the middle of dodging a deadly one.
He evaded back and came to me and with his sword and no tricks this time around, just pure strength and I thought I could try the same thing I did, diverting his strength back to attack him but…
Crack!
My bone sounded like it was going to break and I jumped away from him, the prince had a crazy smile on his face.
Ah I recognize that smile. The 12th prince is a battle junkie, he sped forward with speed greater than mine and brought down his blade to attack when all of a sudden a red light covered the entire arena and the prince pulled back at last minute, I was already drenched in sweat.
"Ah sorry." He apologized with the crazy smile still on his face and I knew that this guy will come for another fight soon.
I nodded at him and went into the last room for a written test.
After I filled everything, I walked out and stared at my comms, I was pretty sure I spent more than an hour inside but outside only 47 seconds passed. The thought of having a time path teacher made me very excited, it could be seen obviously on my face.
"Oi Leon!" I heard my name immediately I stepped into the orientation hall and spotted Aisha and Nicole sitting together. It seems they spared a sit for me in the middle.
Noting the jealous looks I was getting, I walked proudly towards them and I could hear Aisha click her tongue from where she was. Nicole had a weird smile on her face but I paid it no heed, enjoying the feeling of having two pretty girls calling me to come have them.
'Yeah that's right mortals. I am a legend. Bow you puny mortals'
Unknowingly his smile grew wider which started to annoy Nicole and she manipulated the gravity around his legs and made him trip. And she added more to make him fall.
The entire hall started laughing. It almost seemed like everyone was waiting for his downfall and some even started dropping humiliating comments.
Leon smiled wryly before standing up, dusting his pants and shirt, he picked another direction and started ignoring the girls who were laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes.
"You'll regret this." He muttered with a pained expression on his face and everyone being awakeners, that means they have good hearing so they heard and the girls started another fit of laughter.
Some guys in the hall already had dreamy looks on their face looking at the girls laugh.
"Leon honey…" Aisha began and Leon expression was that of horror. She underestimates how much her beauty affects those around her. That statement alone earned Leon a few hundred glares.
"We'll make sure to apologize properly tonight okay?" she said and blew him a kiss.
All of a sudden the air around Leon suddenly chilled and many guys were staring at him like he dated their mothers.
'Ah shit, she meant food. Food. Ah what am I going to do? I should really avoid these girls. They will end me before my time'
The chattering went on then the heavy sound of footsteps could be heard echoing like the foot has a sound amplifier on it
Everywhere suddenly went silent and only the sound of boots could be heard on the platform.
"I am General Hamad." A short pause and he looked around staring at everyone in disdain.
"If you made it to this hall, that means you're the best of the best in your province, but that is in your province. In here you're just another trash until you make something of yourself. You will be given monthly resources and discipline. Your teachers here will watch over you. The rules and regulations will be uploaded to your comms after this announcement."
Then he took a device out of his space ring. Eject the disqualified students out of the hall and don't waste my time!"
All of a sudden, a black formation appeared on the ceiling and students started getting transported randomly. And a scoreboard appeared on a huge screen on the platform.
"You will all, starting from this point be disallowed from leaving the school premises without supervision. Your comms will be replaced with new ones given to you by the school system. Everything that you see in the royal academy should remain in the royal academy…" everyone was frowning at this point but the General's voice suddenly went cold.
"…Failure to comply to secrecy is death." He paused and nodded at the effect his words have on the students. "Now another teacher will come here to breif you on your classes. You may check your ranking and accomodations on the school board." He concluded and walked out the same way he came in.
Immediately his figure was gone, the entire hall suddenly became noisy as everyone was trying to determine what he meant by death.
'Will we be confined to the school? But this wasn't done last year or the year before!' I glanced at the two girls seat and they were not there.
'were they ejected? No no both of them are good fighters. Where are they?' as he was about to spread his perception he caught sight of them eating some snacks as they made their way over to him.
"Tch cows"
In a breath they were already onto me. But instead if the expected attack, Nicole just sat on my laps while Aisha hugged me from behind.
'Ah I just had to open my big mouth' some guys were already making their way over to where we were and I'd love to avoid as much trouble as I can.
"Hey guys, let's go check our ranking." I suggested trying to push Nicole off me.
"Hmmm do we need to? We didn't get ejected so doesn't that means we're one of the best of the best?" Aisha just gave me a bored look
I look at her like she's grown horns on her head, 'and she calls me narcissistic, tsk'.
I rolled my eyes at her "New Comms". Those words were enough, she's a gadget freak so she quickly pulled Nicole off me and dragged me to the screen.
I smiled wryly as I realized that I earned more ire from more people in the hall
'Fuck it! I am a man, why should I cower just because the universe loves me and has placed two heavenly beauty beside me? I'll accept the burden that comes with it!'
Pah!
"Ouch" I glared at Aisha, "what'd you do that for?" my neck has suffered a lot from her beating.
"You were thinking something narcissistic again weren't you?" she gave me a knowing look.
"Why would you even think such about a righteous person like me? It's not fair if you treat the universe favorite like this" I pouted hoping to get some relief but…
Pah!
Another slap to the back of my neck and it stings this time. The silent Nicole just bursted out laughing and giggling from time to time.
I decided to hold my lips to avoid more neck slaps from that cow.
Checking, I found my name at 59th and 32 and 33 for Nicole and Aisha respectively.
"what?! How are you cows better than me? This is fake! Someone is playing a prank on me and it's not funny! I'ma genius!" immediately I said that, I tried to dodge, then I realized that my body is no longer on the floor.
With a bitter smile…
Pah! Pah! Pah!
"angh.." a moan escaped my mouth
Aisha: "eh?..."
Everyone: "…"
"ah no no no it's not what it seems" I tried to clear up while glaring at Nicole.
'ah fuck' with a bitter smile I accepted the pain
"You fucking bastard!" was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness.
