Chapter 318: The System Weakness

As soon the lights dismissed, many figures appeared above them, smugly looked at them, and silently spit on them even though there was a barrier preventing it.

Jessy shook her head upon seeing their haughty behavior; if not for all of them were talented and were not in the class, she might be lecturing them immediately.

Those prospective students were upset upon seeing their seniors; one of them shouted and remarked them but only got a burst of laughter, which made his face turned into embarrassment from his comrades.

However, he noticed as soon those seniors' eyes landed on the princess, they were shocked as some of them dropped the food he brought along.

"U-Un-unbelievable!" One of the seniors shouted, which made the rest reigned back their senses.

"We have a princess with us!" as soon they saw, Elizabeth nodded and then waved at them; all of them changed their attitude 180 degrees. They looked like a dog who tried to please its master.

"But, who is that guy?!" When one of those seniors noticed Clark close to Elizabeth and holding her hands, those seniors frowned while the prospective students silently giggled in evil.

All of their eyes focused on Clark; even the white-robed people seemed curious what will he do. While Jessy was waiting for those prospective students to rest a bit, she also enjoyed the small entertainment.

Desmond, on the other hand, also becomes curious not with Clark but with those seniors. His eyes already began scanning one by one of them but could not find the person he was looking at.

Clark, who was stared feel the huge pressure on his body, looked at Eliz and found her sticking her tongue out and then purposely fell on his chest, which made the tense atmosphere cold.

When he just opened his mouth a bit, the silence was broken when a voice was sounded in the entire arena.

"Brother!"

Those seniors who felt the voice was familiar immediately looked at the spark, and they were shocked to a white-haired lady was standing and waving her hand with her joyful expression toward certain directions.

The fact that made those seniors shocked was that this lady who usually looked cold and distant toward the others could actually make that expression!

The prospective students were confused by their seniors' reactions; in their eyes, they only spotted a beautiful and elegant lady with her smile was waving?

"Sister." When another voice was heard, the crowd's attention shifted its focus to find Desmond smiling at the beautiful girl.

Desmond smiled at Alice; he was delighted to see her condition and her face still lively as in the past. He also noticed another girl was standing beside her and then nodded at him politely.

She must be the old- Felix's daughter, right? Desmond, though as he saw Alice gave a thumb at him with a face as if she saying good luck to him.

Because of their position and their distance, it was inconvenient to kept chatting. Even Desmond knew how to send magic messages with the others; he was unsure about Alice as they were invisible barriers.

With the invisible barriers, he fears his conversation with Alice could be eavesdropped on by those academy people. It seems Alice becomes smarter as she understands the situation and only just gives him a thumb.

I miss you, brother! Suddenly Alice's voice rang in his mind that made him startled for a moment. He looked at Alice and saw her giggled before shyly hide behind Felix's daughter.

The smile on his face grew wider as he just chuckled in response before shifting attention toward the male seniors who looked at him with wicked and evil faces.

The chuckle from Desmond made many female seniors that saw his face become dumbstruck as their eyes softened and then locked between his eyes.

Matson was surprised to find Desmond knew that girl; however, he soon remembered Desmond had an elder sister, which made him envious.

He looked at the silver-haired girl; she had transformed from an immature cold lady into charming cold beauty, which made all those males enchanted.

While Gibson was stunned, he was the same as Matson but slightly slower as he just remembered Alice when she rejected his invite back then.  Back behind the fat body of Gibson, Edison silently noted her appearance while glancing at Desmond.

Gregory was holding his punch when he saw the two of them smile happily while he was struggling with his hard life to bootlick another rich family!

"Okay, that enough. Let's begin!" When Jessy saw how the situation turned back to Desmond, she could not help but smile wryly upon witnessing how many people already shoot a death glare toward him.

*rumble* *rumble*

Suddenly a block of pillar raised from the stone ground on each corner of the arena. The pillars looked more like a tomb pillar with a sharp tip on the end. However, these pillars have silver color; it could be said the entire pillars were made of silver.

"Woah! The academy is really rich; they even used Silveral material for a mere test stage." One of the prospective students exclaimed in surprise, which made the other just nodded even they didn't know.

At the same time, a sudden mini river comes out from the gap between the ground, surrounding the arena but not flooded into audience seats. The water surprisingly raised to the sky, covering the entire colosseum, which made the hot sensation they felt suddenly cooled.

All of this happened slowly, making the crowd enchanted by each magical movement from the colosseum changes. Those prospective students gulped in fear the water fell at them. While those seniors just mockingly and laugh at the scared face of them

On the other hand, Desmond looked in trouble as he kept frowning and glancing between the white-robed people and Jessy. Even though he enjoyed and was amazed by how magical the water could be, his attention still kept on those pillars.

Should I scan it or not?  As Desmond pondered a moment, he then tried to use what he had. System, did you have information about that item? Desmond thought. He was really mesmerized by the elegant look and the mysterious aura emitted from those pillars.

[EROR! No data is being detected to use as a variable to scan!]

[WARNING: Please identified the data by touching or use the scan function!]

When Desmond saw the line appeared, the wrinkles on his face became more visible. Never on his mind, the system he regarded as a bit invisible now has a weakness!

No, the system always has that weakness; it was him who just realized...

He then remembered many outside actions such as gathering enemy combat power, observing the surroundings, using a map, and identifying objects, all of which were required to scan to work!

Only when he tried to experiment something, watching back those of his past battles, trying some virtual combat, that system did not need a scan!

Why do I feel something amiss? I remember there was a situation when the system could still use the identify function even without scanning?

However, that thought did not last for a long as the surrounding energy began to gather around the arena and hovering above Jessy's head.

"The first match is..." As her lip moved, the energy above her head also began to write some students' names. The writing speed was not slow or too fast, but their expression suddenly became gloomy when the prospective students saw the first letter.
