Tringgggg…..Tringgggg….

The sound of the bell echoed throughout the room where the second test was being held. The examinees handed over their test papers to the overseer and they left the room one by one.

"Haaahhh ... Those questions don't make sense."

"Don't say anything about the test just now. None of the material I studied came out in those questions."

People talk a lot about the second test that was carried out. Even though they had expected the exam questions to be difficult, they didn't expect it to be that difficult.

Inside the classroom, Raven was tidying up her stationery. His face showed a bitter expression.

"Why? Are you not sure you can pass this entrance test?" The person next to him teased him. His face showed a smile as if he was not alone in this world.

"No, I'm sure I can get good grades on this second test it's just…" He wasn't sure how to put his feelings into words right now.

He was a regressor. People who returned to the past from the future. This should be an easy problem for him, having already passed this test for the second time.

Thus he understood one thing.

The person who created these test questions was a crazy bastard who didn't want anyone to pass. Even with all the knowledge he had after the regression and the preparations he put in, getting 50% marks was the limit he could reach.

"Hahaha…. I didn't expect that a genius like Raven Astrea could show such a face." Neilson couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Laugh all you want, at least I'm sure my grades will be greater than yours." Raven got up and walked out of the room.

"Hey, don't sulk like that….Wait for me."

Neilson got up and followed Raven. The two of them had been friends since childhood because their families were both very influential in the kingdom.

Especially Raven, Since childhood he has been said to be the best genius in the empire. At such a young age, he displayed unrivaled talent and defeated many of the kingdom's knights and mages.

Raven is also very intelligent and masters almost all the basic theories from various fields. He also mastered a highly sophisticated sword art that was even praised by various swordsmen throughout the kingdom.

Along the way, many female examinees couldn't take their eyes off the raven. Their faces were as red as strawberries and coy around him.

Neilson was quite curious about Raven so he decided to ask. "where do we go now?"

"I want to see Rachel. If I'm not mistaken, she said she was in room A-1."

"Picking up your princess again. You really can't be separated from him. I feel sorry for the girls in the back." Neilson glanced back. There, countless girls had followed them ever since the two of them left the room.

'Besides…' Neilson looked around, envious glances from the boys were shown towards the two of them. he was used to these stares, the problem was the odd glances a small percentage of boys and even girls gave them.

He felt goosebumps all over his body and decided to ignore what was on their minds.

The two arrive in room A-1. Inside there were only a few people left.

Raven was about to say hello to Rachel before she had to hold back a little laugh. There Rachel stared at her desk like an idiot.

"What are you thinking," Raven said while pinching Rachel's soft cheeks.

"Hey…hello…"

"…"

Receiving no response, Raven poured a bit of mana into his hand. The pinch got stronger and made her cheeks turn pink.

"Hey stop." Rachel responded and stroked her sore cheek. A frown could be seen on her face.

"Hehehe… your face is so cute. It makes me want to pinch it again." Raven teased him and tried to grab her cheeks again but Rachel got in the way and wouldn't let him do it again.

The atmosphere that was originally quiet became more lively with the two people. Some even looked their way and were attracted by the interaction and fun they had. They even enjoy it.

On the other hand, Neilson drew closer to Veronica.

"Hey, Long time no see. How are you?" Neilson coughed and tried to speak.

Veronica didn't answer. She focused on the paper in front of him. There, complicated and complex formulas are neatly written. That is the answer from the previous test.

"Hmmm…kuhmm…" Neilson had a smile on his face. He looked at her face and felt satisfied with it.

He had received this treatment many times. Even though Veronica never responded to anything he did, she felt very happy.

There weren't many people left in room A-1. Apart from the raven group, some people seem to be ordinary people.

Raven looked around her looking for someone. "Where is he?"

"...?" Rachel and Neilson looked at the raven with confused faces

Neilson asked curiously. It's rare to see his friend interested in someone. "Who are you looking for?"

Rachel also focused on listening.

Raven describes Ivo's appearance. "How should I put it, Yeah…He's an ordinary person. His appearance was the same as that of an ordinary person. He had no money and only wore simple cloth clothes…"

"Wait, wait a moment. Stop there" Neilson stopped him. He showed a flustered expression at her explanation. "Who exactly are you looking for?"

"OH…that's right, his name is Ivo Graham." Raven said to the point.

Neilson was confused hearing that. "Huh? Who?"

"Wait, he…" Rachel was surprised by the name Raven said. Before She could continue his words a voice caught their attention.

crack!!!

"...?" They looked at Veronica.

In his hand, the pen she used was broken in two. Her expressionless face changed slightly. Even though it was just a small change the three of them immediately noticed it.

"Veronica? What is it?" Neilson asked worriedly. He hardly ever saw Veronica lose her calmness.

Veronica shook her head. She ignored Neilson's question and bowed his head to Raven and Rachel. Her attitude was very graceful in line with her beautiful face, making Raven feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sorry, my hand slipped." She took out a new pen and continued what he was doing.

Raven asked Rachel. "What really happened?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about that person?"

Rachel looked sullen. Memories of what happened during the test were still fresh in his mind.

When the second test ended. The pressure in the room disappeared as if it had never existed. Almost everyone in there couldn't stand up any longer some looked like they would pass out if the pressure was continued any longer.

The worst case is just the poor girl still lying outside. No one cares about her. After the second test was finished, several people who were members of the medical team came and took the girl away.

Rachel and Veronica were the first to go straight to the superintendent.

Denver accepts indifferently. He didn't even waste time looking at their answers and tossed them aside. Very different from the papers neatly stacked on the right side of the table.

The two of them glanced at the paper.

Ivo graham. Only those 2 words are written on the front and the rest are blank. He was the first to clear the written test and the one who made everyone take the test under the pressure of terrible magic.

"How long are you going to see him? Go, hurry." He waved his hand and chased the two away while reading the book in his hand.

'I swear I'll pay you back' Rachel muttered silently. Because of that person, he couldn't focus on working on the questions at hand.

"I met him two days ago." Raven's voice woke Rachel from her memory. "I was just wondering where he went. From your reaction, you should have met him already."

"Don't know…I don't know…don't ask me about that person."

Raven was confused by the reply she got. 'What really happened?'

On the other hand, Neilson has one big question. 'Who is Ivo Graham?'

Both ask different things but lead to the same person.

DING!!!

[All participants who have cleared the second test are expected to head to the Academy Hall to continue the final test.]

The sound of the academy's announcement roused them from their respective thoughts and rushed to proceed towards the final test.

In the middle of nowhere. A shrine is surrounded by various kinds of tombstones forming a certain pattern. Thousands of people knelt and prayed incessantly. They didn't move an inch no matter what happened.

Two black shadows appeared in front of the shrine and knelt and bowed to the man inside the shrine.

"What's the plan?" A voice came from within the shrine.

A single voice that came from inside the temple stopped the prayers being chanted by thousands of people. Respectful looks could be seen in the eyes of everyone who was there.

Here, it is taboo to speak while the shrine guard is talking to someone. Even the two black shadows didn't speak a word before they were asked first.

"Everything is ready. We can carry out the plan right now, master. The other side is also ready." One of the black shadows answered with his head down.

"Keep moving according to plan"

"As you command." The first black shadow disappeared from the front of the shrine, leaving behind another black shadow.

"Say, is there anything you'd like to say?"

The shadow took out a letter and handed it to him. "Master, there is a message from the other side"

The letter floated into the temple. After a while, black flames burned the letter without even ashes remaining.

"Interestingly, first there was the owner of the eye that saw the truth, and then the heir of the undefeated king. This world truly is unpredictable."

The man hummed with a smile on his face. The people outside couldn't see what was going on inside the shrine but they could hear it no matter how far it was.

"May fate bring humanity to its end and death embrace those who accept it."

    The academy hall was the gathering place for all the students when there were various important announcements, parties, and banquets. With a hall capacity that could accommodate around 10,000 people, the academy hall boasted great splendor.Currently, the academy's hall is used to carry out the academy's final test. Thus, there were only examiners inside the academy hall."Wow… this place is really big and very spacious.""Right. Even the carvings and architecture of this hall are truly magnificent."Almost all the participants were amazed by the sight in front of them. To those ordinary people, seeing the magnificent buildings of White Snow Academy was a completely new experience for them."I should be able to enter the academy.

    "This is an opportunity to change my life. I have to pass this final test." Elvin said these words over and over again in his heart. He listened carefully to Argon explanation. His right hand tightly gripped the longsword hanging from his waist. A small silver pin hung from his chest.Not only him, everyone tightly gripped their respective weapons in their hands. They did not miss a single explanation from the person in front of them.Even though many of them entered the white snow academy with different goals and interests, they all still wanted to be accepted into the academy. It's a dream that almost everyone here has."Now let's take a look at the points you've earned so far. This is the ticket that will get you into this academy." Argon waved his hand. The screen behind her slowly changed to show the names of the people who took the entrance test into White Snow Academy.The screen was a projection of the magic used by Argon. For a pure magician like himself, he didn't need any m

    The screen paused and showed the top five rankings covered in black as before."Okay. You already know what your rank is. 1000 people…no, 999 people should be ready to take this last test. But before I start the test, I will give you one interesting thing first."Argon snapped his finger, Three lights emitted a bright light like a beacon radiating up to the roof of the academy hall."...??""What's this?""..."Everyone looked at the 3 people, the light emitted from the three was so bright that even people outside the hall could see light.Argon showed a sly smile on his face. "This is a privilege that the top five rankers have. Those in the top five will light a red beacon to identify them. When it is lit, all forms of camouflage and concealment magic will not work.""You can think of them as fluffy sheep or golden tickets that will take you straight into the academy." Argon said casually while swinging the staff he had in his hand. He looked at everyone who was there.His wand point

    Raven was shocked when he saw what was in front of her eyes. His pretty eyes trembled when he saw him. He could no longer express what he was feeling right now.Happy? No, when he looked at the screen those feelings disappeared.Amazed? No, if it were normal people, they would definitely be very happy when they had such high points.Raven knows what others don't. He understood very well how this point system worked. Many people thought of those points as the only value they had for being accepted as students of White Snow Academy.The points awarded by the white snow academy indeed served to show the value that a candidate who enrolled in the white snow academy had. When the final test approaches, everyone who registers at the academy will compete to fight for and defend their points.But if you think about it, who gave those points away? Is it Argon who is the overseer of this last test? Or was it the other overseers who participated in the white

  • Beyonders of the world   The final test begins

    "Ivo Graham and Kevin Heider started their tests over 2 hours ago." Argon showed them the black screen he had shown at the start to everyone. "Look at this." The two screens show different scenes. There, Kevin Heider is on the right side of the screen and Ivo Graham is on the left side of the screen. Both of them showed completely different scenery. On the right, a man is sitting relaxed on the edge of a hillside. He has a normal stature except that his eyes emit a gray color. His hand fiddled with a small dagger while staring blankly at the blue sky. Behind him, piles of monster corpses piled up and scattered everywhere. Every lying dead monster had a big hole in its head through the monster's whole body. Blood soaked all over the place and fell down into the abyss like a waterfall. That shows how many monsters he killed. The trail of red color coming from the pin is visible to everyone. Kevin seemed very annoyed by this. "Really annoying.

    A man appeared through a small light portal. In front of him, a wide expanse of a meadow filled his view. Several trees adorn this lonely meadow. "It looks like we'll be automatically separated in this final test." Davis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Davis comes from the Hover family which is one of the noble families in the eternal kingdom. His family is not as famous as the Astrea family, but they are well connected enough that they can find out the content of the last test that Argon didn't explain. Davis checked his sword when his instincts warned him very loudly. "...!!!" He drew his sword and parried the sword that came from behind him. He turned around and was shocked to see the person who had attacked him. It was the person he had just seen in the academy hall. The one who was called a monster that someone like him couldn't reach. "Isn't he the current highest points owner Ivo Graham." Before he had prepared and grasped the current situation, Ivo charged fo

    In a vast meadow, 10 people gathered together to form a group with the shared goal of 'To pass into the white snow academy.'They meet by accident because their teleportation points are close to each other. At first, they were almost fighting each other and fighting over each other's points, but after finding out that almost none of them made it into the top 100 they gave up and chose to work together.There was no point in fighting for those below the top 100 rankings to fight each other because it was pointless. Still, they did not lower their guard.In the end, one person came forward and offered a suggestion. "Why don't we cooperate with each other? We can hunt down the ones with fewer numbers than us and split the points they have equally."They looked at each other and slowly nodded in agreement. After all, they knew for low rankers like them who had no hope of getting into the academy, they were just easy prey for the top 100 rankers who didn't have enough points yet.The man w

    Tic…tick…tick…The sound of dripping water echoed inside the dark cave without the slightest light. Ivo Graham walked slowly, along the inside of the cave just by feeling the cave wall. On his back, he carried the unconscious Davis Hover.He continued walking without stopping when a faint blue light illuminated the inside of this dark cave. A bright blue lake with crystals embedded in the walls of the cave provides a faint glow.Nothing had changed from his memories of the last point hunting test. This was still the same place where the test was conducted as in the game."Finally arrived." Ivo placed Davis Hover's body on one of the cave walls and rested his exhausted body. His skin had more gruesome burn scars than Davis's.This was the price Ivo had to pay when he decided to rank first in the academy's entrance test. Even so, he had no regrets at all."The body of an ordinary human simply cannot withstand magic. I need to quickly break through 3-digit status." Ivo used [Nature heali

    “How's the condition? Is it possible to save him?” Ivo asked while looking at the unconscious Elvin. A strange energy overflowed from his body that came from the scars.“I can and it's very easy. But there is one thing that bothers me.” Kevin mustered his mana and sent the strange energy through the wounds on his body.Energy slowly formed into a strange monster with mouths all over its body. The monster was about to bite Ivo and Kevin but was immediately sealed by Kevin."What's this? It sapped nearly all of the mana and strength this boy had. Even though it didn't touch his body constitution but right now he has lost all his strength.”Ivo looked at it and felt a very familiar feeling. "Greed? No… this is gluttony. It seems that everything he has has been snatched away by someone.”This was the energy he once had during gameplay. Even though it was so weak that it couldn't be compared to something Ivo had in the past, the energy that was in front of him was the same.“Gluttony? Are

    “Do you think they will investigate our relationship any further?”Kevin shook his head. With what happened today, the Academy would restrain its intention to investigate the two. “The clone that I made is a perfect form that is almost similar to a real human. Unless the clone's soul is directly inspected, They won't know what's going on.”Ivo couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the screen Kevin made about what happened during the time the two of them disappeared and were replaced by a clone made by Kevin.The fight between the two only lasted for a moment before stopping. It was a short battle that could barely even be considered a fight. Both of them just exchanged attacks but neither of them got hurt.On the screen, Kevin said flatly. "You haven't changed. Even after you had the Heart of Fearlessness given by Mr. Gray, your personality hasn't changed. It's still the same as before." Kevin said as if he already knew someone named Ivo Graham.“Perhaps that was the reason you were ch

Amanda spoke to the person next to her.“Wouldn't it be better if we worked together?

    Ivo remembers his past when he first met Kevin. While looking at the person standing in front of him. Even if it was just the distant past for him right now. the person in front of him and the person he remembered in the past hadn't changed much.Kevin looked at Ivo who was behind him. “Ivo Graham. When we were on the island, you had a resolution in your heart that was incompatible with someone living in this world. With that, I can be sure of one thing.”"You are the same as me. You are someone who shouldn't be here. But from the look in your eyes, I can see that you are very different from me”Ivo didn't answer and just looked at Kevin.He knew many things about the person in front of him. But he still couldn't understand the person in front of him. Their meeting at that time was pure coincidence.Even if he returned to the same place that time, Ivo couldn't find him. No matter how far he searched or how long he searched, he couldn't find that person anymore.Although it was only fo

    A person who shouldn't be in this world.If words could describe him, then those were the perfect words to describe him.Dressed in the clothes worn by the time when the Black Death invaded the earth. He was wearing clothes like those worn by the Plague Doctor. He looks quite sinister and doesn't fit the theme of this world.He controls the gray mist along with various other light spectrums. In my eyes, although I have explored and seen many things in this world, it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.On the edge of the abyss that separates the Eternal Kingdom from the Imperial territory, he sat there while looking at my pitiful sight.

    “Are you familiar with this sight?” a voice that came from far away. “Probably not, you are a human who has the blood of the Void race.”In a world surrounded by a gray landscape of many colors, he had never seen. Streams of light of various colors flowing through the air were a form of pure energy. Ivo stood up touching the stream of light.After the two disappeared, Ivo opened his eyes and the scenery around him changed. Not a trace of the blue sky, Ivo stood above the sea of gray accompanied by black.It looked like liquid, but Ivo knew it wasn't water. It was an energy that he could sense within his body ever since he obtained the talent 'Distortion body'. It was Void energy that was so dense that it took the form of a liquid.The oceans flow according to certain and certain patterns. An extremely strong connection could be felt from the energy that flowed through the air and in this ocean.Kevin's voice came from behind him, but when he looked back, no one was there. Just an endl

    Path of SwordsThis was the swordsmanship that Ivo trained and refined endlessly until it finally became perfect swordsmanship for himself.As a player with none of the talents related to swordsmanship and low-level mana sense, the only specialization he had spent the most time with as a player was becoming a Swordsman.Apart from the relatively cheap price of a sword, sword skills are easier to learn than magic.This was a swordsmanship he created from someone who couldn't even swing a sword to be called a proper swordsmanshipIn contrast to Raven who has more than 3 talents regarding swordsmanship. As a player who didn't even have the slightest talent in swordsmanship, Ivo felt that almost all the swordsmanship he had learned had no synergy with him.Even if he developed a talent related to swordsmanship that he cultivated through hard work, there would be a limit to that. In the end, he would run into a dead end.Many say that people who work hard will beat talented people. Those w

    Ivo sat on a rock holding 3 medallions in his hands. It was a medallion bearing the White Snow Academy's crest.The medallion is thrown into the air and played as if it has no value at all. If the Academy's students found out that with just one of these medallions they could enter the Tower of Knowledge for a full day, they would fight to the death for this medallion.That's how valuable the medallion in his hand is.“Everyone has their own plan. It didn't matter if it was White Snow Academy or the Court of Death. But this time, they seem to be seeking their own death.”Playing with fire. Even though it was a bit imprecise but it was an almost simile of what White Snow Academy did.Resurrecting the Undefeated King… They would really be crazy to do that. But all of this would align when I think about it.
