Friday, the 16th day of the month of Augustus. The Aster Academy opens its gate towards the family and guardians of each student. Unfortunately for me, my family will come. I will be happy if they don't come, like what's the point of coming? But then my communication bracelet suddenly pulled my attention.
"A call?"
I checked the caller and it turns out it was Grandpa Alger. Happily, I excitedly answered his call.
"Hello? Grandpa?"
{Little sun how are you?}
His voice entered my ears and my eyes landed on his holographic image.
"I am doing great"
I genuinely replied but then his reply made me frown. It was a laugh he usually does when he finds something interesting.
{I heard what happened little sun}
I suddenly felt chilly and somehow I don't know what to say.
"What do you mean grandpa?" I said pretending to know nothing about the thing he was trying to imply.
With that answer, I heard him chuckle again which made my assumption correct.
This is not really good
Should I lie?
But he knows me way too well that lying will only cement his thoughts.
{I saw it, you see the emperor asked the tower to investigate, so while we searched under those rubbles and dirt we found something}
Oh shit, I thought while knowing his next words.
{Do you really think the tower won't recognize something that is created there? Though honestly, I didn't think you would fix the problem with the mechanized soldier. You even improve its sheath apparatus}
"..."
{Why aren't you speaking?}
"Well I am sorry for taking them without saying anything and please tell Brother Gavin I did some stuff inside the soldiers"
{Hahahaha....no need to worry and about the traces you amateurishly tried to erase we already took care of it. No one will know you are there with your friends"
OPPS, just how much did they get?
Did they also find out about my spell Clonis? Hopefully not since it's the thing I like to keep a secret.
"I hope I didn't cause too much trouble"
{Dont worry you didn't my child}
"By the way the way we will start our exam today"
{Yes I did hear so me and some selected mages will go there to watch you}
"Really!"
{Yes so be sure to do your best}
"I will!"
"{Alright I'll drop this call...}

Then a sudden bang masked Grandpa's voice making me worried.
"Wait was that an explosion?"
{Ah that? We are just having a small competition on who will be allowed to go there with me. I'll call you once we are nearby}
"Okay take care"
{I will}
My call ended but I still felt happy
"Gotta make sure I pass"
"Apollo!"
"Alright the official start of this exam is 8:00 to 11:00, we will have our lunch after that then return here for our next exam, 1:00 - 3:00 pm. Then the last two will be taken tomorrow with the same time slot"
Alicia explained looking quite serious.
"Currently it's 7:30 we are allowed to start the exam early if we want to and it will still end at 11:00 am, so what do you guys think? Should we go inside or wait until 8:00 am?"
With Alicia's words, they began to think while I remained silent since it didn't really matter to me what time we started.
After five minutes they conclude.
"Let's do this!"
Mackenzie was strangely active making me relieved, he must have gained some confidence.
"Okay we still have 20 or more so let's go in"
Alicia finally smiled as she said those words.
We all came forward and calmly opened the door, and nervously entered. A white blinding light began to bind us until a dry and burning air welcomed us, or more correctly me.
I smirked as I felt the intensity of the situation.
"Here it is"
I said and my eyes looked straight at the words floating above.
"To escape this room you must complete the sequence of events that happened in the Age of Extinction. What you do will conclude its ending which is needed to be the same as the one in the history books, so choose wisely"
[It's finally starting]
"Yes"
Back in our class professor Gelda, revealed to us that our examination in her subject would be a simulation of the things we have discussed in her lesson. That includes all the overviews she once discussed at the beginning of the school year.
"The first lesson was the age of extinction"
A warm air penetrated my skin while a couple of roars and screams came from a distance.
"I need to know first where and who I am"
According to the professor we will take on one of the historical figures in history, and our decision will decide the outcome of this scenario. If we choose the correct answers and the ending I make is the same as the one on the books then I will proceed to the next part of the exam.
I looked around at my body and found out I was wearing a military uniform.
"This style don't tell me..."
[You are Yuan from the Qin kingdom!]
"Yes, Yuan the soldier who will die after bombing the black bridge"
[He did but after he did that he was able to save thousands of people!]
So the figure I possess is Yuan, but then why is he here?
Did I perhaps miss something while reviewing last night?
[Creator! Run!]
"What?"
My body suddenly tensed up as my eyes saw a huge demon salt iron crocodile.
It was a swarm of them
[Run!]
Yes I will definitely run
I move my legs and strangely I am way slower than before.
"What the hell!"
I ran like there was a ton of stuff at my back.
Wait was there something like this in history? I searched my mind and an answer came to me.
"That's right he was the one who first discovered the demonic breakout at the northern river marsh.
[Creator runs faster!]
"I am trying to!"
Frustrated I ended up shouting at him.
