Too many things have happened in the theoretical exam, and it discouraged a lot of examinees. Nonetheless, there were also a lot who did not get discouraged and felt that their time had finally come.
After the theoretical exam, there was a half an hour break. The following exam was none other than the strength test.
One by one, entering the hall for the strength test, a lot of students were now gathering at the central square of the building. Almost every student had that nervousness on their face, and only a select few felt confident even in the face of this humongous crowd.
The half an hour of rest passed by in the blink of an eye. And after some small briefing about what they needed to do in this test, the examinees were soon separated into separate groups and were sent to their respective testing grounds.
This time, a group consisted of about twenty to thirty people.
Cade followed the other and walked into his testing area.
Here, other than the strange Machine in the middle, the rest was completely empty.
No table or chair. Only empty tiles which looked like they had a very strong durability. If this was the place where the strength test was held every year, then the materials of these tiles should be very strong.
" Examinees Id 99137, please go and take the first turn."
The voice of the examiners broke the silence.
And along with that voice, one of the examinees with a pretty strong looking body came upfront.
He took his position about one meter away from the strange Machine as the examinees proceeded to explain the rules once more time.
" So before we proceed, I will explain the rules one more time so as for you to not make any mistakes during the test process. But listen carefully because I will only explain one more time, and any mistake would deduct your points afterward!"
" In front of you, here is the test machine. Each and every examinee were given a chance to use their Arcane Card to attack the Machine. Of course, not all Arcane Card would excel in attacking, as there was also support type and defense type. Therefore, the points you received in the test would be scaled based on the type of your Arcane Card."
"Now, to make it easier. I will display a way of attacking the Machine."
As the examiner finished saying those words, his right hand glowed, and an Arcane card appeared.
" Summon Arcane Card!"
The Arcane Card flashed, and now a silver wolf emerged before everyone's eyes. And while everyone was still in a daze admiring the silver wolf, the examiner had commanded the silver wolf to attack the Machine.
The silver wold eyes turned red in a flash. Its flang glowed, and its whole body swelled with muscle.
Sharp claws stretched out from the ten fingers on both hands, glimmering coolly with a dazzling gleam. And without wasting any more time, it dashed toward the Machine in the middle, striking it with its claw and getting a number of [900] from the Machine.
The examiner's face was still calm after all of this, but slightly, Cade could see that he actually had a smug smile.
" Well, that's pretty much it. Now, the examinees that the number I called, please come forward and do the same thing that I have showed you just now!"
After that, one by one, the examinees' numbers were called, and they finished the test without much problem.
Standing on the corner, Cade actually observed the examinees one by one. He might not have the sharpest memory, but he could still somehow remember the names of some important figures in the game. It's just that until now, no one had yet caught his attention.
When the test had progressed to about halfway, it was at last Cade's turn.
Upon seeing that it was finally Cade's turn, everyone in the hall looked at Cade with either curious or suspicious eyes.
For most of them, they were curious about the one that had ranked first in the theoretical exam, while the others were Cade's acquaintances from Luminous Highschool that couldn't help to see Cade fail.
Cade slowly walked in the direction of the Machine, ignoring all the gazes and contempt from the other examinees. Nonetheless, all the stares from all around made him feel like he was a monkey in the zoo, causing him to shake his head in resignation.
With a light sigh and a passive face, Cade finally arrived in front of the test machine. This time, even the examiners were looking forward to the result of this test.
Under the eyes of everyone, Cade began summoning his Arcane Card. He had decided to not hold back anymore. Anyway, Grigory had made such a mess in the theoretical part, so it's no use trying to look ordinary now.
It would just be better if he came with a boom and increased his chance of being recruited by the five great universities.
" Summon Arcane card!"
His hand glows, and Spectre Dullahan comes out before everyone's eyes.
" What is that... Isn't his arcane card some useless specter??"
" I don't know, but I never remember that his Arcane Card having that pressure surrounding it."
Lots of discussion like this was heard in the exam hall.
Obviously. the one that had previously known about Cade and Spectre was surprised. Now Spectre Dullahan being a rank (III) Arcane Card, emits a horrendous aura, and it makes them feel a bit of fear.
But Cade paid no heeds to them. Ignoring the burning gazes around him, he raised his hand slowly as Spectre Dullahan flames grew brighter.
While watching the calm Cade, the examiner's eyes grew curiosity. From the rumor, he had heard that Cade's Arcane Card should be a rank (I) Arcane Card.
'Did this kid really get to rank (III) in just a few weeks?'
The shock of Cade's performance had impacted everyone here. But it was not the end yet.
Taking a deep breath, Cade eventually launched his move.
" Sword Thrust!"
*Swoosh!!!*
The sound of a sonic boom enveloped the whole area. Spectre Dullahan's body flashed, and when it was seen once again, it was already very close to the test machine, thrusting his sword, which glowed with blue flames.
BOOMMM!!!!
