Chapter 135 - Entrance Exam

Joan was then guided by the Prophets outside the principal's office. It was then, Joan ushered them not to follow him anymore as he will be standing out too much. Just waited for him to leave the office then they exited the room. Joan was then felt loosening up. He even felt that he can rest assured that he will be left alone. Though if some of the students remembered his face, it would be a problem.

As he walked towards the place where the Stat test will be held, he saw many students that were already there at the Stat testing area. A vast open space with a stat tester at the centre of the space. Just as he was looking at them, some students were very proud of their stats. Some yelped and leapt at the announcement of their stats. Making him happy for them.

'They sure are energetic ones,'

"Strength–10, Dexterity–13, Vitality–15, Focus–13. Mana realm–Earth realm, fifth stage." The Proctor said as he announced their stats.

The one who was being tested almost shouted. But he held back and combed his hair up.

'Geeze, I'm so cool,' He inwardly said.

Joan was not surprised by his demeanour. His stats were at the same level as the adventurer whom he met in the entrance exam. That adventurer was crying out loud with his stats at that time. It would not be a surprise if he was feeling cool with himself.

Joan saw many students were filling up forms at the moment while waiting for their turn. A long queue was seen and students were waiting for their turn.

Joan added himself to the queue and waited for several minutes. The stat test was still ongoing and no one seemed to pique his interest at the moment. They have lower than 20 in terms of stats and it was the current limits of the young ones at his age.

Joan thought that if he will use stat manipulation now, his stats will still be huge. Making it go down from five hundred plus to one hundred twenty-five. It was still mind-blowing. Though his purpose was to have greater accelerated growth.

Even though he will become weak again, he still used the skill. He prepared himself then used the skill [Stat manipulation]. Making him release white steam from his skin. Still, it was quick and it disappeared in an instant. Upon using the skill, his stats were absorbed and it stimulated his growth further. Making him plummet to the hundred and twenties.

After waiting for some time, he felt weak. Though his stat was still too big compared to the other students. It will surely make him stand out above them. It was then a famous presence has appeared.

"The crown prince and princess! Prince Yuan Leonhearth and Princess Yulia Leonhearth! The two Royals are here!"

It was then, they were approached by the proctor and then greeted.

"I am the proctor here your highness. Let me be of service if you want any help," He said.

"That's good, my younger sister here wants to be tested with her stats and join the academy. I hope you prioritize her as she was excited," He said to him.

"As you wish my liege," He replied to him.

They escorted her towards the testing area and she entered the pillar of light. Soon after, the proctor was perplexed by what his eyes has seen. Absurd numbers were seen by his eyes.

"Strength–112, Dexterity–120, Vitality–116, Focus–117. Mana realm–Sky realm, first stage!" The Proctor almost jolted. Making him gasp air after shouting.

The ones who were watching all clapped hands and they cheered on her. Praising their names at the moment. She was waving her hands on the enrollees and they all cheered louder. Joan clapped his hands at her. It was a great deal of essence to reach into that stat without the skill [Stat manipulation]. It was very impressive on his part. Still, Joan thought about whether he has to diminish his stats more or not. It could be a critical situation if he will make a mishap at the moment. It could ruin his results on the test.

Still, he steeled himself, it would be too attention-grabbing if he will have higher stats on the princess. Not something he wanted to be, and that was in the limelight. Thinking about whether he will use it again or not, he decided to use it. There was not an enemy that needs to be beaten yet at the moment and his growth was his current priority.

[Stat manipulation]

He used the skill and his stats dropped drastically. Making him weaken in all stats. His feet were weary and his head was about to spin. Luckily, his mana realm was not disturbed.

Joan's turn to sign the enrollment papers. He put his name, age, and, address. It was now his turn to be tested. Approaching the pillar of light, he closed his eyes as walk step by step. After he entered, he opened his eyes.

"Strength–31, Dexterity–30, Vitality–33, Focus–34. Mana realm–Space realm, first stage!" The proctor said. Lifting his eyeglass.

"Space realm?" He gulped.

To Joan's surprise, he forgot that the mana realm can't be reset. Making it the first one on their academy.

"We have a Space realm!" He shouted.

Joan's expression became worst. He didn't think that it would slip in his mind. Still, he didn't know what technique to use currently to hide or manipulate his mana well. It was a thing he thought to research in the future. Researching skills were his speciality in the past. Creating skills like [Stat cultivation] and developing skills like [Stat manipulation].

It could be a thing in the future but he has a problem right now. All the students were jaw-dropping and the Princess too. Even the Prince was dumbfounded. It was a frightening existence that has yet to be seen. And now he was shown to the rest of the Academy.. Something that was not yet seen from before.
