Chapter 90: Maia’s Entrance Examination Begins

Two weeks quickly passed and once again, it was time for one of Colzen City's most anticipated events of the year, the Colzen Academy Entrance Examinations.

Maia trained arduously for this day so she excitedly went to her big brother's room to wake him up.

It was still very early though so the two of them had lots of time to prepare, unlike Shye who almost didn't make it to the registration on time.

After eating a sumptuous breakfast, Shye and Maia took a bath, wore their chosen attire, and left the dormitory side by side.

The two of them walked together towards the examination grounds, and then, after around twenty minutes of walking, they arrived at the examination site.

Upon arrival, a few students from Colzen Academy who had gone to the examination grounds to witness the proceedings immediately identified him.

"It's Shye Crowley! Who's that beside him?"

"That little girl resembles him, maybe his little sister?"

"Yeah, it must be his little sister! Shit! He has a little sister?! If his little sister is even half as talented as him, then this year's entrance exams will be exciting!"

Shye's arrival caused a significant stir, piquing the curiosity of many examinees who were unaware of his identity.

They couldn't resist respectfully inquiring about Shye from the Colzen Academy students who had come to observe the entrance exams.

Of course, the students were simply all too glad to accommodate their respectful request and so, they enthusiastically explained to the curious examinees who Shye Crowley was.

"Well then, let me tell you. This guy, Shye Crowley, is a legend within the academy!"

"Currently, he is an upcoming third-year warrior course student, and although he kept a low profile as a sophomore, his feats as a freshman were nothing short of legendary!"

The Colzen Academy student bragged as if he was Shye himself.

However, his story stoked the flames of curiosity and admiration in the hearts of the examinees so they quickly urged the student to tell them about Shye's feats in detail.

Observing the examinees' curiosity, the student chuckled before proceeding with his narrative.

After seeing the reaction of the staff member to her reply, Maia was confused.

What did the staff member need instructions for? Shouldn't he just register her like all the other examinees?

Unbeknownst to her, the staff member didn't know whether to add her to the list of seeded examinees or not.

After a few minutes of waiting, the staff member returned and gave her a card which contained her examinee number just like a regular examinee.

Ultimately, as she wasn't initially on Colzen Academy's radar, the head examiner didn't allow her to be a seeded examinee, so she had to go through the standard examination process.

Naturally, Maia couldn't care less about the concept of seeded examinees whatsoever.

All she cared about was fighting strong people in the third assessment so after she finished her registration, she simply returned to her big brother's side and chatted with him casually while waiting for the assessments to start.

Since the two of them arrived early, Maia had to wait for an hour before the head examiner walked up the stage and announced the rules of the entrance exam.

As expected, there were no changes to the rules and after passing the first and second assessments, it means that the examinee has already passed the entrance exam.

Then, the third assessment which is the mock tournament, would decide the final overall rankings of each student in every course.

Once the head examiner finished announcing the rules, the Colzen Academy entrance exam finally began.

What the two of them didn't expect was, that Maia would be the first one to be called.

"Examinee number 21, Maia Crowley, please proceed to training dummy number one for your first assessment!"

After hearing that her name was called, Maia excitedly walked towards the designated training dummy.

With enthusiasm, she positioned herself in front of the training dummy while tightly gripping a short wooden dagger.

She then thrust the dagger into the dummy with all her might.

*DING*

"230 points!"
