Chapter 301 301



This is the first time that Rezen witnessed and at the same time became the object of such obvious cheating. Perhaps, even a blind man can see the bias because of how clear it was

"Damn it! I'll kill you!"

It didn't take that long for Narrow Eye to recover. The blood flowing down from his forehead that dirtied his face made him look even more ferocious than before

He was furious at the unfair treatment that he received. To have the chance to take the admission test of the Tryst Academy means that his talent was exemplary even amongst the people living inside the outer walls. This causes his confidence to skyrocket

He was the best talent in his tribe and he bragged about how he would attend a second-rate academy that not just anyone could be part of

He wouldn't go home without passing the test and it was natural for him to be this furious at the unfair treatment he is suffering from

"[Beast Transformation!]"

Narrow Eye went on all fours again while a magic circle formed below him. This magic circle was yellowish in color

This time, Narrow Eye is using a magic spell and not just simple magic. This means that he is going all out

"Go! Defeat him!"

"Crash that bastard!"

"Show him that relying on connections wouldn't do him good!"

For a moment the examinees forgot their prejudices against tribal people. Crashing Rezen this shameless nepo baby takes priority

They would rather see a tribesman succeed since they can easily deal with someone with no backing unlike Rezen that has a strong connection within the academy

Soon, the magic spell shows its might. More fur grew on Narrow Eye's body and this time the fur grew all over him

His face also morphed into that of a beastly one. His lips grew wider and his teeth grew longer and sharper. Thick and slimy saliva drips down his teeth

This appearance was clearly not the appearance of a human. This is the appearance of a furry beast!

As if casting one magic spell is not enough, after his transformation, Narrow Eye formed another spell

This time the magic circle was bloody red in color, emanating a chaotic aura

"[Berserk Beast Mode!]"

When Narrow Eye casts his second spell his body starts to emit a bloody aura and the muscles on his beast-like limbs grew bigger than before

The intelligent glimp on his eyes that humans possessed considerably dimmed as if he really did turn into a beast

"Graaahhh!!!"

Narrow Eye growled before he approached Rezen for the third time. This time his speed was even faster than before

However, even if he increased his speed the surrounding cubes also did the same. Considering that he already became a victim earlier, one would think that Narrow Eye would learn how to dodge the cube but he did not do that

In fact, for the second time, his body slammed into a cube causing him to bleed even more

"Graahh!! Graahh!! Graaah!!"

"It seems like his spell boosted his power but in return, he loses his rationality" Rezen judged

Narrow Eye immediately bounced back while ignoring his injuries to approach Rezen again

However, the same thing happened again. The cube once more blocked his way and Narrow Eye slashed it with his claws

Earlier, Rezen and Narrow Eye were able to alter the cube's direction when they exerted force on the cubes. But this time the cube that suffered from Narrow Eye's attack didn't budge in the slightest. It was like an unmoving mountain that the wind cannot possibly move

"Fuck this!"

"Damn it! I badly want to kill that bastard!"

"Arghh!! This academy is done for! To think that they would allow such obvious cheating to happen!"

The examinees were furious. This was really too much. They should at least give Narrow Eye a chance even if they are set on passing Rezen

What's with that cube? Why didn't it move in the slightest when it could be controlled earlier?

'This is bad. Even Emperors sometimes have to obey their subjects. It might negatively affect me if the displeasure of these examinees and my future schoolmates reach a dangerous point"

Rezen doesn't want to receive more ire from his potential future schoolmates and he decided to end the battle. Since he was already given all the advantages it would be easy for him to win

He wielded his magic wand with his left hand and had his mana flow into it

Yellow-golden energies gathered at the tip of the wand and Rezen waved it causing a ray of sun energy to travel in the air and crash on the berserk Narrow Eye's body

His opponent is merely a 2nd cycle Body Mage while Rezen is a 3rd cycle Deviant Mage. There was a large difference in strength between the two of them and someone like Rezen could defeat someone like Narrow Eye

As Rezen attacks the floating cubes gave way as if they are dodging a plague. They gave enough space for Rezen's magic to hit its intended target and he succeeded without a surprise

"Aarrrghhh!!"

Narrow Eye was thrown in the air as the stream of solar energy hits him. His body emits smoke as if someone is cooking him while his back slams on another floating cube

From just that one attack Rezen rendered his opponent unconscious and he easily won his one-on-one battle

"Congratulations, you passed. You can now go take the last test" the Instructor almost ate her words with how fast she was speaking

As if she cannot wait to send Rezen away she even waved her magic wand and threw him out where another academy staff was waiting to escort him to the examination room

"Now, let's proceed" she said with a sigh of relief. Finally, Rezen is not here and there is no one to help cheat anymore

——

Just like that, Rezen passed the admission test of the Tryst Academy. Since the academy itself helped him cheat on the previous rounds the written exam was also a breeze

In fact, Rezen felt like he was taking an elementary student's exam. There were few questions related to cultivation and most are just your common questions

There was even a question where Rezen has to answer "1+1". Even though no one told him, he is aware that the set of test questions he received was different from the others

After the test, Rezen was informed that he passed and that he should return two days later and start living inside the academy just like all of its students

Tryst Academy is a boarding academy and they have their own reason for that

The departments that are responsible for the growth of the city's mages are really efficient. If this was on earth, after the admission test at the very least the students will be given a week to prepare but Rezen was only given two days by the academy

When Rezen got out of the public magic shuttle and returned to the dormitory he saw familiar faces waiting for him

These people that are waiting for him are his tribesmen from the Waterside Tribe

There was the Chief that mostly became responsible to guiding the others. Considering her age, there is almost no chance that she could still increase her cultivation rank

She was already old and nobody expects her to grow into one of the experts of the tribe. But since tribes have a different culture than the city, the tribesmen still respect her as she protected the tribe for decades

Even if the tribesmen grew far stronger than her at the very least they would take care of her

"Rezen! Rezen! How is it? Did you pass?!" Umper excitedly run towards Rezen as soon as she saw him and behind her was Borsus that nodded his head. He too wants to receive an answer from Rezen

"Yes, I did pass the admission test. Two days from now, I'll start living in Tryst Academy" Rezen replied affirmatively since there was really no reason to hide that

With his confirmation, the tribe cheered at him. The Chief was even especially relieved

"That's good. With a mage attending a second-rate academy, our tribe would have a better future" the Chief said in relief

There is a vast difference between a mage that has the qualifications to take the admission test of a second-rate academy and a mage that passed the admission test

Since a second-rate academy is the best academy that outer wall people could attend if they are not given access to the inner or core walls the students of these academies have high status

At the very least the students could reach the high cycle stage of the Junior Rank. Of course that won't happen in a year or two. It might even take decades but even then a high cycle Junior Mage is still a high cycle Junior Mage
