40 End Of The First Day

Aiden declared the start of the trial and started observing as how it's gonna go. Konstantin, Olenna and Rei didn't have any problem in resisting the heat.

The attack is 7th level magic attack and so it's completely useless on them since all of them are on the 7th level Mage and warrior. Aiden didn't care too much since There won't be any problem if just 3 people passed easily.

Even with all of these conditions present, none of those 3 started to move. Everyone in the arena started to move except for them as they stayed in their place without doing anything.

Aiden looked at the tension between those 3 as he felt how they started to exert some of their aura around. It even affected all people in the arena and made it even more hard to move. Finally, Rei was the first one to stop when he started to laugh and said.

"Hahaha. Okay, how about we stop and continue this trial so we can go to the final one and end this. After all, none of us isn't interested in fighting right here. we Won't injure those juniors around us, right?".

The moment Rei stopped using his aura, both Olenna and Konstantin also stopped as they didn't care anymore. For the three of them, this is normal but for the others on the arena, it felt terrible. It was almost like they were suffocating from both Aiden and the three high pressure.

That pressure continued for ten minutes before stopping. Rei, who stopped first didn't care anymore and started walking his fifty meters distance. Konstantin also started walking right behind him. He followed and started walking beside him like he was afraid to lose to him.

Olenna was the last to move as she continued to stay behind them while also using a 7th level spell to protect herself. Olenna is a Mage who uses Forest(Nature) element to fight. She can grow anything from trees to forests and flowers. anything that has nature is able to grow using spells of forest element.

Olenna used her magic to cast a spell called 'tree roots of protection'. It covered her whole body with tree roots. Although the outer roots were burning a little, it still protected her to finish the distance.

Konstantin and Rei used their enhanced warrior bodies to walk through. Through the meditation techniques for a warrior, any warrior can enhance his body through channeling the mana in a way that when he reaches a certain level, he can even walk on water and swim in lava.

Konstantin and Rei used their own meditation technique to create a shield made of pure mana so they can walk through the heat. It was a simple power that any warrior meditation technique had but it varied in quality according to the rank of the meditation technique.

Finally, the trial for groups 29-32 ended and only 5 people were able to pass. Including Rei, Olenna and Konstantin, there are two people who're at the martial king level and were able to win.

Those who passed started walking towards the VIP area and as they walked the stairs Rei was stopped by Konstantin. Konstantin seemed wanted to say something as he put his hand on Rei's left shoulder. He smiled and said to him, "Don't think I will let you run away like last time. Believe me, I will take revenge".

"....", Rei didn't say anything and just smiled as he looked directly at Konstantin's eyes and then throw his hand away from his shoulder. He turned and walked towards Seath as he sat beside him. Konstantin didn't say anything and just also walked towards Aiden and the others together with Olenna.

Aiden and the others didn't ask or say anything as they saw that Konstantin didn't want to say anything. Aiden turned back and looked at the arena as he continued calling for the next groups.

"Groups 33-36, it's your turn now".

[Some hours later].

It's almost 9 am and right now, Aiden is testing the final group for the first day. Aiden is sweating a little because of keeping his sunshine working during the night. It's been 3 hours since sunset and Aiden used Rhitta stored energy so he can use sunshine more.

Although it was still a pseudo transformation, he still was able to transform and have power comparable to a martial king. The good thing is that there wasn't any martial monarch after rei and Konstantin group so it was easier for Aiden.

Finally, Aiden finished testing 88 groups in one day. It means that Aiden tested almost forty-three thousand people and yet the sum of all the people who passed is only 93 people which means that the percentage of winning people for the first day is zero point two percent.

It was very shocking and scary because this showed the difficulty of this trial. Just like the first trial, the second trial goal is to eliminate as many people as possible.

Lyssia, Alex, Morgan(Emelia father), Nolan and Alexia are the only ones remaining of the group in the spectator's area because all the others passed the trial. Alex looked around him and said, "It seems like our turn will be tomorrow. Perhaps we might even have a little bad luck because we will try to pass the trial during the high noon".

Lyssia who looked at him started laughing as she knew what Alex is thinking. She knew how much lazy can he get. She then remembered something and said to him, "So, tell me. Compared to the trials of the Dark Saint, How does this one feel?".

".....". Alex didn't say anything as you could see him thinking about something. Alex is a very lazy man and can be very much the laziest man on the western continent but he also can turn serious sometimes and you can't recognize his previous lazy personality at all.

While she was thinking about Alex's weird personality, He had already stopped thinking and was about to answer her when she looked absent-minded and then said to her, "Hey, Lyssia, Lyssia. Are you hearing me or what?".

"Ah, yes, yes. loud and clear. So what do you think about the trial on the first day?".

"Well, I understand now that it depends on the time we test. If we taste before high noon, we're a little screwed. If it's afternoon, we're safe and if it's after sunset then it's gonna be the best-case scenario ever".

"It doesn't really matter since Aiden won't go easy on any one of us. The good thing is that we have the trick of the ground and Aiden didn't make any countermeasures for it". Nolan who was just silent the whole time, interrupted them and then continued, "I think that he might even be tricking us into a false sense of security and then he can finish us easily".

"Don't you think that is a little farfetched. I mean, It's Aiden we're talking about. I don't think that he can be that cruel". Lyssia who started defending Aiden but no one actually belived her.

"For now, let's just stay calm and prepare for the next day. Aiden said that will start half an hour after sunrise. Since we're in summer, the sunrise will be around 5 or 6 in the morning so we need to prepare ourselves well for tomorrow".

Morgan(Emelia father) told them as they also nodded about what he said. Fortunately, they had rations they brought with them since they didn't know how much they will stay here. After that, some of them went to sleep or meditate to try to raise their level if possible.

[Next day]

Aiden is outside the tower looking at the sunrise. Aiden never expected himself a year ago that he will ever be teleported to another world and see another sun elsewhere. He liked this scene very much as he enjoyed watching everything new in this world.

Tap-tap.

Aiden heard some footsteps and turned behind him. He was surprised a little as he didn't expect this person to be here. This young man seemed to be the same age as him. He has light short red hair with deep blue eyes.

This young man is none other than Saifon. Saifon is very tall as his height reached 2 meters. He's also a muscular man. Saifon changed his armor and he's wearing right now a red and black long coat along with dark pants, brown gloves and boots. He's also wearing a half mask to hide his mouth and nose.

Aiden looked at the young man for some seconds and then turned back and looked at the sunrise again. Saifon continued walking until he stood next to Aiden as he also looked at the sunrise.

"Beautiful, isn't it?", Aiden didn't say anything and looked at Saifon who asked him. Aiden didn't expect Saifon to talk to him as he always gave the impression of the unpopular type. "Well, looking at it from the sky is indeed very beautiful. By the way, what are you doing here?".

Aiden who answered also asked back a question as he wondered what Saifon is doing here. This was one of the buildings I. the ancient city and was a little far from the tower.

"I came to see the sunrise of course but I also want to ask you a little question".

"A question. yeah, why not?", Aiden became puzzled as he didn't know what kind of question Saifon will ask him since they don't really know each other and so they didn't have anything to talk about.

"Well, I always wanted to know if you might know someone else who uses the title of the sin of pride. You see, When I heard you call yourself the Sin of pride, it started ringing in my head and I couldn't stop but thinking that you knew someone else who's also the sin of pride? perhaps someone with white hair?".

Aiden couldn't believe what he heard because he didn't someone to ask him about the existence of another Sin in this world. The only one he knew that used this title is Escanor himself which is impossible to happen.

"I don't really know someone who uses this title because no one would say that he's the Lion Sin of Pride while I exist".

"Oh, okay. So It was just a wrong feeling on my side".

Saifon then turned back as he started jumping the building and returning to the tower. Aiden became more surprised and didn't understand what is happening. Aiden scratched the back of his head as he looked at Saifon.

"I wonder what he means by that question?".

_______________________________

Saifon who was jumping on the buildings looked a little troubled since he didn't get anything out of Aiden. He then started thinking about all of this, 'since I met Aiden back at the Moxi island, I started having these dreams where I see the shadow of a man with white hair that calls himself the true Sin of pride. I wanted to ask Aiden if he knew anything about this person'.

Saifon wanted to know if this person existed because he felt like he really knew him without even meeting him in reality. He even felt like he was himself inside a dream and that man is the real one. He feels like he lives in a dream
