Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Entrance Exam Began

"Alright, everyone! As you prepare for the entrance exam, we want to share the criteria we will use to assess you." Gideon added"First, we'll look at your knowledge. Next is adaptability. How well can you handle unexpected challenges? We will also assess your teamwork. Working well with your familiars and other participants is key."

Thomas then spoke, "Additionally, we'll be watching for creativity in your problem-solving approaches Don't forget about resilience. We want to see how you bounce back from setbacks and being resourceful is crucial as well. Use the tools and skills at your disposal wisely."

"Lastly, we'll be looking at your decision-making under pressure. How quickly can you think on your feet? Keep these criteria in mind as you take on the challenges ahead. Good luck to all of you!" Thomas added,

Gideon smiled at the crowd and said, "As for more information, you will have to pass the entrance exam. Everything will be explained in the orientation. Good luck, everyone!"

"Good luck!" Thomas added, raising his voice. "And for those who make it to the top 10 in the Beast Doctor Final exam, you will receive items, 10,000 gold coins as a reward, a Beast Doctor license, and a special crystal!"

The crowd erupted in murmurs and excitement.

"Wow, a special crystal? What does it do?" one person asked, eyes wide with curiosity.

"Gold coins! I could really use some extra cash!" another said, grinning.

"Top 10? That sounds tough! I hope I make it!" a girl exclaimed, determination in her voice.

"Do you think it's true? That the special crystal can enhance your abilities?" someone else chimed in.

"I heard it can even help you communicate better with beasts!" another replied, leaning in to share the gossip.

Seojun looked at Andrew, who was practically bouncing with energy.

"Let's go! Let's pass this exam together Seojun!"

Suddenly, a glowing light appeared on the floor beneath everyone's feet. Seojun looked down as the light grew brighter and brighter. In an instant, everyone around him vanished into thin air and also him.

As the crowd disappeared, Thomas approached Gideon with a curious look. "Which one interests you?" he asked.

"Hmmm, I don't know yet," Gideon replied, glancing at the empty space where the students had been. "What about you?" Searᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Thomas laughed softly and said, "I don't know either! Let's go now."

Meanwhile, the mage judge waved his hand, and a magic circle glowed on the floor. With a flash, the judges also disappeared.

Seojun, however, found himself alone. When the light faded, he opened his eyes to see that he was in a forest. The trees towered above him, their leaves forming a thick canopy that blocked most of the sunlight.

"Where am I?" Seojun wondered aloud, looking around in confusion.

"I guess this is part of the entrance exam," he thought.

Seojun started to walk, trying to figure out what to do next in this unfamiliar place.

As Seojun explored the forest, a bright screen suddenly appeared in the sky above him. Curious, he jumped up to a low branch of a nearby tree to get a better look. On the screen, he saw the four judges sitting at a long table, with Gideon in the middle.

Gideon smiled and began to speak.

"Welcome to the floating zone Skyland Beast Doctor Entrance Exam! This is where the entrance exam will take place. Each of you has been teleported to different parts of this forest."

Seojun listened closely as Gideon continued. "The forest is surrounded by a barrier, so no one can leave Skyland during the exam."

As Gideon continued speaking, another screen appeared beside the first one. This one displayed a list of numbers, each representing an examinee participating in the entrance exam. Seojun squinted to see his own number on the list.

Gideon explained, "This screen shows the numbers of all the examinees. If anyone fails the entrance exam, their number will be crossed out. If you see your number crossed out, it means you have 'died' in the exam, but don't worry! You will be teleported back outside, and it just means you didn't pass."

"As you know, this will be a unique and challenging experience designed to test your abilities as future beast doctors.

You will be surviving in this Skyland for one week. During this time, you will face various challenges and tasks that will help us evaluate your skills and potential.

One of the most crucial aspects of this exam is forming a contract with a beast. Establishing a bond with a beast not only showcases your understanding of their nature but also demonstrates your ability to connect and communicate with them. This is an essential skill for any beast doctor.

Throughout the week, you will also be tested on various survival skills. Your ability to adapt, think critically, and work with your surroundings will be vital for success."

He pointed to the forest behind them. "You'll also need to find a wild beast and treat its injuries. Remember, this exam isn't just about who can heal the fastest.

Some of you may not have healing skills at all. This is for ervyone with or without

Healing skills and we'll testing how you think, how you adapt, and how you find solutions when faced with the unexpected."

Gideon's tone became serious. "By the end of the week, you must make it to the Sanctuary at the center of the forest. There, you'll present your beast, explain how you bonded with it, and demonstrate your knowledge about its species and care.

We expect each of you to demonstrate not only your skills but also your compassion and responsibility towards the beasts. Remember, this is not just about survival; it's about becoming a true beast doctor.

Good luck to you all! May your journey begin!"

As Seojun stood in the forest, the feeling of being watched lingered in the air. But it wasn't just the judges or his fellow examinees watching — the whole world was. Across the globe, awakeners of all ranks and backgrounds had their eyes fixed on the event, their screens filled with the entrance exam's live broadcast.

The Beast Doctor Entrance Exam had sparked global interest, and everyone was talking about it.

In a luxurious guild hall in New York, a group of awakeners huddled around a massive screen, their faces lit by the glow of the broadcast.

"Did you see that? They have to form a contract with a wild beast!" one of them said, sipping on his drink. "That's no easy task."

Another, a woman with sharp eyes, nodded. "It's not just healing. You need to understand the beast, bond with it."

Across the world in Seoul, a café was packed with people glued to their screens, watching the same event unfold.

"I heard that Skyland is filled with dangerous beasts," someone muttered from one of the tables.

"Yeah, I wonder how many will actually make it to the center," replied another, their tone skeptical.

In a small village in India, a group of young awakeners gathered under a large tree, eyes wide with fascination.

"I wish I could be there!" one of them said, excitement bubbling in their voice. "The rewards are insane!"

"10,000 gold coins for the top 10," another replied dreamily. "I could change my whole life with that kind of money."

In Paris, a famous awakener known for her healing abilities watched closely, leaning forward in her seat. "This is going to separate the real beast doctors from the pretenders," she murmured.

Overhead, the global system chimed, flashing announcements to every viewer around the world:

[World Event: Beast Doctor Entrance Exam] Duration: 7 days

The murmurings from different parts of the world grew louder.

"How many do you think will pass?" asked a young awakener in Brazil.

As the first day of the exam progressed, the whispers of the world's awakeners filled every city, every town, and every home. From the grand halls of powerful guilds to the quiet corners of remote villages, the world watched as Seojun and the other participants

And the buzz only continued to grow as the entrance exam unfolded before their eyes.
