Chapter 221 - The Start Of Test - Thinking Too Much

'A digital watch?'

'What the heck?'

Rex was completely surprised by the gadget that they wore. That was because it was too similar to the digital wristwatch that they used to use back on earth.

'How the heck do they have those?'

'Who the heck invented them?'

He was quite surprised. Yes, truth to be told, he was never surprised this much in his entire lifetime.

Regardless, he knew that he would get to the answer if he approached the right way.

Instead of pondering about it right now, it was his duty to reach the Academy and enter it, then pass the test and finally become a student.

Why does he need to think about some old geezers who were following him?

Yes, after concluding this, he continued to walk and soon enough, arrived right in front of the Academy's main entrance.

There was a large gate guarded by some knights and women who wore the same watch that Rex had seen earlier.

'Why are they wearing this?'

'Is this some custom?', Rex wondered.

One of the three women, who were standing near the gates looked at Rex and approached him.

"Are you prince Rex?", she asked.

She had a beautiful figure, her violet hair, big breasts, and curvy body would attract any men's attention. A small mole on the right side of her right eye looked sexy as well.

Regardless, she seemed quite older than Rex, at least ten years older.

Rex replied, "Yes, I am."

She then quickly opened the palm of her right hand as if she was expecting him to give her something.

Rex remembered that he was given the scroll to hand over to an authority. But he never thought that a woman such as her would be part of one of the authorities of the Academy.

"Here."

He handed the scroll after removing it from the spatial ring.

The woman confirmed it and nodded her head while looking at the knights.

They then opened the gate right after which the woman said, "Welcome."

"I will guide you to the test center."

Right after that, she started to lead him.

Rex forgot a thing, he had suppressed all his aura by himself. Yes, he was capable of doing that.

Therefore, when the woman saw him, she doubted if he could even use some basic magic.

Even the two other women who were standing there seemed gorgeous.

One had blonde hair while the other had white hair. Both of them were beautiful as well, but more than that, they seemed to whisper something as they glanced at Rex.

"Is he really the genius Julia's brother?", the blonde lady asked.

"Yes. I am sure he is. Haven't you heard about him…?", the one with white hair started to explain the rumor that had spread about Rex.

As mentioned earlier, Rex had become extremely famous because of the ridiculous rumor that went around. It was said that he was powerless and emblems because of which he ran away from home.

While others mentioned that he was chased away from home by King Alexander because he was an embarrassment to the family.

However seeing him return, the lady was explaining how the first rumor fit.

After they discussed that, both of them smirked as they looked at Rex.

Rex noticed this as he entered.

'Do they think I can't hear?', Rex smirked in return and continued following the violet lady.

After the gate was opened, a large garden was found.

There was a straight path constructed in the middle of the garden which led to the huge building that was in front of him.

It was just the building where all the study materials were kept. Also, the receptionist stayed there who would hold the keys of various lockers where the nobles would usually keep some of their materials.

The lady turned towards her right when she entered the building. Yes, there were two paths right after one entered the material building.

One towards the right and another to the left.

If the left was taken, one would end up on the main building for studies, an arena for battles, and training areas. Also, various other privileges such as canteen, swimming pools, and the house of games were present in the said direction.

As for the right, the dorms of males and females were present. Also, the head office of the dean and the principal were present that way. Other teachers also had their offices near the principal's.

The lady walked while Rex continued to follow when they passed by the boys' dorm.

It was empty since all the princes were in the class right now.

However, when they passed near the girls' dorm, there were still a lot who were in their rooms.

The view from the windows or balconies of the dorms was the best.

They could literally see outside the gates and could view if the shops are opened or various other events are going on.

Also, the princesses would love to sit and drink tea or coffee while looking at the view and feeling the cool breeze.

And while Rex was walking, quite a few of them saw him.

'Who…'

'Who is that?', asked one of the princesses with her flustered face.

She had pink hair and pink eyes. She was quite beautiful with great body proportions.

The maid who was standing just behind her, walked forward to look at the one the princess was talking about.

After spotting him, she said, "I am unsure, your highness."

"I have never seen him before.", the maid said.

The princess continued to stare at him while thinking, 'How handsome.'

She said this while just looking at only one side of his face and that too from the third floor!

"Listen, Melli, you need to find out who is within an hour!", the princess said.

"I will try my best.", Melli the maid rushed out right after saying that.

*lub dub lub dub*

Her heart was beating fast.

'Who is he?', she asked yet again.

Regardless, there were a few other princesses who spotted this. They too ordered their maids to find out about him.

Most of the maids rushed down the dorm and slowly walked stealthily to know more about him.

But even before they could ask anything, Rex ended up entering the principal's office.

All of them waited outside for a chance for Rex to come out so that they could inquire him.

"Sir, I have brought him.", the lady with violet hair entered the room and bowed while saying this.

A bald man with just two teeth in the front of his mouth was sitting in quite an old chair, working on an old wooden desk at exactly the center of the room.

"Ah, good job Violet.", the man said.

Yes, the lady's name was according to her hair color – Violet.

Regardless, that was not the most surprising thing. What baffled Rex was the man who was sitting in exactly the middle of the room.

He was bald and had no teeth other than the two front teeth. He wore weird rounded spectacles.

"He…"

"He is the principal?", Rex asked in a weird tone.

"Yes, is anything wrong?", Violet asked.

"N-nothing at all."

Rex stayed quiet.

'Did they want this kind of reaction? Did I perform well?', Rex asked himself.

Yes, he was just acting and was doing the same thing that Violet and the strange man who acted as the principal did.

That was because Rex could see through the illusion magic and the Illusion barrier that was set up.

The man was just some random person while the principal and many other teachers were sitting right behind him.

But, in between them, there was a barrier.

The barrier was to hide make Rex feel that there was a wall behind the strange man and nothing more – no more than petty illusion magic.

If he wanted, he could have immediately told them, but he thought that they had something else in their minds.

'I think, they don't want to appear in front of me.', he thought.

'Yes, that might be the case, after all, why would people of such high status and strength appear in front of a mere person who hasn't even become the student of the academy?'

He kept quiet and acted. Well, he thought too much. Actually, the illusion was a test as well but Rex didn't realize it.

The man started asking questions and Rex answered them correctly.

'Why would they ask basic level questions?'

'Is the test regarding the theory only?', Rex was confused.

The questions were at the level of an elementary school.

Yes, the questions were literally like – 'What is mana?' and 'How many elements is magic divided into?'

While Rex did answer all of them correctly, the teachers in the back seemed somewhat displeased.

It was as if they had already decided on the result.

Regardless, Rex continued to answer the remaining questions that were being asked.

The fake person in front of him was just asking some other random questions based on the sheet of paper that was in front of him on the desk.

"…"
