"Care to explain it to me"
I said looking at the man standing at the border of the fallen city.
"I am in awe of being caught, truly you are an extraordinary student" he said finally revealing his appearance.
"What's the point of all of this? You could have said it instead"
"Was my method too extreme?"
"You dump sixteen 13-year-old students into a powerful illusion that can influence their mind and body, and put them in a place where war and conflict exist. If it wasn't extreme then I don't really know what to label it"
The headmaster just silently listened not feeling offended by how my voice began to rise.
"My classmates barely had time to heal and yet you put us in this situation and influenced our emotions"
"For what? To tell me that killing Nirvana won't be enough to be safe? That the effort we made to survive is not enough"

"Yes"
[Your hormones are getting haywire making some of your stress hormones to increase]
"Jeremiah don't scan me right now"
My emotions that have been going up and down sunk to the bottom of my mind due to Jeremiah's statement.
"I want to apologize for that"
He sincerely said while looking at the hairpin on his hand.
"Seeing all of you laughing and talking loudly I thought you all might have forgotten the past. I was wrong, I didn't know behind those smiles are pains that I can never imagine. You all have my respect despite being young you all try to overcome the pain that you have experienced. I am sorry for rushing things"
I remained quiet at his words although I really wanna smack him right now for playing with the emotions and traumas of sixteen children, he at least deserves a beating.
"You got half right but there is another reason why I made the exam this way, although I can't say it right now but you will understand it in the future"
"Alright so what is the half I got right"
I said sarcastically still feeling bitter at the fact I felt about my brother and sister.
"It's the fact about the new church, it is the trial or prototype version of the Monastery. Its power stems from a lot of powerful magical beasts. They had allied themselves with Nirvana and proclaimed themselves as the new generation of Gods"
"Shut it please!"
"Come on cut him some slack Matilda he lost his hearing a while ago"
"And? We all lose our hearing not just him..."
Instead of letting Matilda speak Casper just covered his mouth.
"I just got back my hearing doesn't speak"
After recovering their hearing became sensitive and hearing noises at a close distance was quite painful for them, so Casper covered Matilda's mouth.
Aside from Mckenzie's scream which he regretted doing none of them tried to speak. Five minutes went by, then thirty until an entire hour. Finally, when they got used to the sound of their surroundings they all decided to leave the examination building.
"What time is it?" Niko asked while dragging his tired body.
"It's 10:40 am" Arabella answered while looking at her watch though he was as tired as Niko.
"I am hungry let's eat" If the two were tired Mckenzie was hungry which made Keith say.
"I'll cook how's that?"
"Let me help" Agnes suggested.
"I will too!" Alya raised her hand as she said that.
"Can I make a request for my food?" Samael requested while holding his grumbling stomach.
"Sure me and Keith will do it!" Vesta said while thinking of the food they could cook.
Their enthusiasm made me happy though my thoughts still float about the words the headmaster said.
"Magical beast" I can't help but mutter while walking right behind my classmates.
While walking amongst the other exam buildings I notice something.
"It seems they holding a different exam"
We passed a few more and my hypothesis was proven correct. It seems all classes have a different subject that is allocated to them. Probably to fit their needs, however as I think deeply about it, it was already obvious since some classes provide lessons that are only exclusive to them.
"History and geography probably not included in their subject rooster"
Well, it's not my problem to think of such a thing so we all move to take our lunch.
