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. It's the only way to change my fate."
Elvin is one of them. He comes from an ordinary family without any background. Since childhood, he has had a higher mana sensitivity and is very fluent in performing magic compared to other children his age.
Living in Ernest's city is a very hard thing for ordinary people like him. A city where many well-known organizations and unknown underworld currents have gathered. Although it belongs to the territory of the eternal kingdom, Ernest City is an independent territory and is not directly regulated by the eternal kingdom. Because of that, Ernest's city had no support from the kingdom and existed as a semi-independent region.
That was why, if one had high enough mana sense, they would try their luck at White Snow Academy. Those who are accepted there will be guaranteed to have a bright future because graduates of the white snow academy are sought after by various organizations. If they were lucky, white snow academy would even offer to join them.
"Don't be too nervous Elvin. If you continue like that, you won't be able to pass the final test."
"I don't want my rival to lose not being accepted while I'm being accepted into the academy."
Elvin looked at the people behind him. It was a man with a rather large body. He was wearing a blood-red outfit with hand guards covering his wrists. Very different from Elvin who only wears ordinary clothes.
"I'm not nervous Marcus. This is just my excited expression." Elvin smiled at his friend.
In contrast to Elvin who is an ordinary person, Marcus is a descendant of a member of a medium-level organization in the city of Ernest called 'Red Panther'.
The two meet each other by accident and have been friends since childhood and often train together. So they are already very familiar with each other.
Amidst the tumultuous atmosphere of the people in the hall, Everyone turned their eyes toward the people at the back of the hall.
"Hey look, there they are."
"I really can't believe I got to meet them. The greatest genius in the entire eternal kingdom and the Successor of the Astrea honorable family. Raven Astrea. The son of the eternal kingdom's great magician, Neilson Victorius. There was even a daughter from the wishborn family who was famous for her spear arts. Rachel."
All the participants were amazed to see them. Even Elvin and Marcus were amazed to see the three of them. They were like the stars in the distant sky that people like him couldn't reach. Moreover, they are very handsome and beautiful.
"So that's why there are very few girls in this hall." Elvin looked around him. At first, he felt very strange, why there were mostly men in this hall.
Finally, the question was answered as he looked at the three people. No, it should be four people.
Elvin looked at the one woman behind. Her presence was so subtle that people barely noticed him. Even Marcus didn't realize it and only focused on the three people.
'Ah, She's gone away.' Elvin saw her walk away from the crowd. Several people with similar senses to Elvin also followed closely before losing completely.
"What do you see." Marcus asked curiously. He followed the direction of his friend's gaze but found no one.
"No. Nothing." Elvin shook his head.' Forget it. She's in a very different league than me'
Raven group stopped at the front of the line.
Behind them, the girls followed the raven with blushing faces. They couldn't take their eyes off Raven face.
On the stage, Argon sat reading a book in his hand. "Okay, now that everyone has arrived. We can get started." He closed his book and got up from his chair.
Everyone's gazes were fixed on the person on the stage. There, a man in a blue suit with a white robe with gold embroidery covering half of his shoulders.
"Congratulations, you've finished the academy entrance exams. Step by step you guys are getting closer to becoming disciples of the white snow academy." Argon gave a small applause. The book that was originally in his hand had disappeared in thin air
"Introducing, My name is Argon. The person in charge of overseeing this final test. Some of you may know me, some may not. But such small differences mean nothing to me. In my eyes, everyone is equal. I only distinguish one thing, those who pass and those who don't."
Everyone stared nervously. for ordinary people, they don't know the identity of the person in front of them. But a small percentage of people who have a background will be nervous if they see it in person.
The space controller. That is the nickname he has. A pure magician focused on spatial magic.
A pure magician was quite a rare existence in this world. They were people who specialized in the mana within their bodies to focus on magic.
Even though there were very few of them, no one dared to underestimate a pure magician. On the battlefield, there was a famous saying 'If you see a group and it has a pure magician, get rid of them first or you'll be in trouble.'
Argon continued and displayed a large screen behind him. "Now, let's see a bit about what you guys have been through so far."
Everyone focused on the screen. There, the test flow that they have gone through starts from registration to the written test.
"The first test is a test that tests each of your mana senses. There, you will be tested on your senses, your mental endurance, and your strength. Those who meet the criteria will be given the appropriate card to continue with the next test." Argon showed the white card in his hand.
"Test, it was done during your registration. Those who are here show that you have met the most basic criteria that we want."
Many people immediately pulled out their respective cards. Some were calm because they already knew how the test would go, while others were shocked while looking at the cards in their hands. Elvin is in the last group.
He held the card in his hand with a relieved expression. "Seriously, even though this test looks simple on the outside, why is it so difficult." He muttered silently.
He understood the meaning of the words of the person called argon. It wasn't hard to deduce what he meant just from his explanation of the first test.
Since the start of registration until now, we have been closely watched by the academy's supervisors. They measure various parameters that are owned by all candidates who register.
But why do they do that?
That was the question that popped into his mind.
As if proving what he was thinking was correct, Argon continued his explanation.
"The second test is a written test, in this test the candidates will be tested on their understanding of the theory. Besides…" Argon showed a smile on his face
"You must remember about the documents provided, the results of the written test will determine 30% of your test scores." Everyone nodded their heads. The second test was unreasonable, so they were betting their fate on this final test.
"I will congratulate those who have worked hard on the second test. That will be your ticket to qualify for this final test." Argon waved his hand. The screen behind him changed to show the last test. On the screen, the order from first to fifth is covered in black.
Everyone looked nervous, some looked desperate when they heard it. In contrast to all, Raven seemed calm at his explanation he already knew everything about this test.
"Now I will give a brief introduction to this test…" Argon explained everything there was to know the same way he had explained to Ivo and handed out pins to all the candidates.
On the other hand…
'Where is he?' Raven looked around him. He had found not the slightest trace of Ivo since he entered the hall.
In his view, Ivo Graham is an unknown variable. He had never appeared during the previous timeline. Because of that, he attempts to keep an eye on him and investigate who he is...
"The heir to the Heart of fearlessness never appeared until the tomb of the undefeated king appeared." Raven memorized some important information in her head.
In the previous timeline, when the tomb of the undefeated king appeared to the world, the entire world trembled at its majesty. All the powerhouses rushed to the tomb and fought until the end for the greatest inheritance of the undefeated king.
Heart of fearlessness.
Raven had participated in that terrible war and survived even though he almost died. Thus he knew, the heir of the heart of fearlessness was never known. He instantly disappeared after inheriting it and never appeared again.
"It is impossible for the heir to appear at this time. If he entered that tomb, the whole world would know about it. The mechanism inside the tomb will trigger instantly." He knew it because the one who had triggered his appearance was himself in the past.
Raven didn't want to remember the madness. He focused on how Ivo could get him. What's more, he didn't trigger the invincible king's meal emergence mechanism.
"Unless…" Raven shook her head. He denied his thoughts, but nevertheless, there remained a possibility that he did too. The fact that the inheritor of the heart of fearlessness had never been exposed before he did the regression strengthened his mind on this point.
"Is he also a regressor?"
"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
"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. You guys are putting little tricks into
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
"A devil in human skin. I can't deny what he said."He thought about the words again and could only find them funny. If this was in his previous world, society would already think of him as a madman. But this was not the world he lived in before.This was a new world he had seen. A world he had lived in even longer than his previous world. Because of that Ivo Graham is very familiar with the rules and laws that exist in this world.The strong rule and the weak can only follow. It may sound cruel, but that's how the world works. In a world where people possessed powers beyond the realm of ordinary human understanding, the Laws created by ordinary humans would not work on them.Thus, they had their own laws whether it would harm an ordinary human or not, they didn't care. People without powers could only follow along as they had no other choice. If they refused, no one would know what fate awaited them.It's a cruel world.Those who live and d
