Chapter 724 The Entrance Tests

A massive burst of fire exploded on the stage, and a tall woman with a massive wizard hat emerged from the flames, smacking the ground with her staff.

"Freshmen! Welcome to your first year." She said, glaring at them with glowing eyes. "And without wasting any time. Let's start the first written test. Don't worry, it's simple." She waved her staff, and the ground beneath the students started shaking.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"What's going on?!"

"So much magic, what kind of spell is this?!"

The ground cracked, lifting every student separately and forming into a chair and a table, raising them several meters in the air. Thick barriers separated them. A paper, a crystal ball, and a pen appeared on the table in front of them.

Arad blinked, looking at what was ahead of him. "The chair is too small," He said, barely fitting inside.

"Bear with it for a second. I'm first creating a massive batch of similar objects to accommodate most of the students then I'll change what needs to be changed." A voice came from the crystal ball as it flashed lightly, sending a wave of faint magic.

Half a minute later, Arad's seat and table grew larger. "This should be comfortable for you,"

"It is, thank you. It's quite an amazing spell," He replied, looking around.

"Let's start your test." The voice coming from the crystal changed into something that looked as if it was pre-recorded.

"The test is simple and easy, first, a writing test. Write what you hear after the beep from the crystal into the paper using that pen. Try to keep up with the reading."

Arad nodded as he picked up the pen, taking a deep breath and remembering how Aella and Doma taught him to write and read.

"Seven seas were flooding above the land, driving the ground drummers into the mountains. With only rain and storms, kingdoms drowned and washed from life, leaving only the bones of civilization. Stop!"

Arad's pen's ink dried up.

"Times up, how much did you write." The paper disappeared.

"91/100, good job."

[Aella Deianira: 96.5/100. Ranked 5/1333] ^She did spend more time studying than me, and she did study at home when she was young, impressive.^

[Mira Belethor: 91.65/100. Ranked 25/1333] ^Mira is smart. Probably more than most of us.^

[Eris Kisue: 97.1/100. Ranked 4/1333] ^She has the best handwriting out of us, and she did spend several decades reading books.^

[Merida Cuchilla: 72.7/100. Ranked 367/1333] ^She was worried about the written test. It's been years since she last did anything other than writing and basic math.^

[Sena Lisworth: 50/100. Ranked 666/1333] ^That can't be right. I swear she did it on purpose.^

[Selica Broshy: 45.6/100. Ranked 745/1333] ^Sena's assistant. I honestly expected more, but she might've pulled something like Sena.^

[Sara Alina: 88/100. Ranked 69/1333] ^She's certainly far smarter than her brother.^

[Lydia Auston: 73/100. Ranked 366/1333] ^I honestly expected less. Did Jack teach her?^

"The second examination would start soon," The teacher walked onto the stage, clapping her hands as her eyes looked over the students. "I've already spotted several talents."

CLAP! CLAP! With two claps, the stage behind her slowly disappeared, "The second test is a combat test." She started walking, and with each step, the ground beneath her feet turned into dirt, growing grass and flowers. "I'll be teaching you several subjects this year. One of them is monster fighting, a necessity for everyone who values their lives."

She slowly turned, pointing at the students, "We're moving to the monster pit on the other side of the university. Follow me,"

The training ground behind the university is a massive colosseum, the remnant of an old dungeon that was forced to the surface by mages hired from the mages' tower. The fighting arena inside was already separated into ten separate sections for simultaneous testing.

"Ten at a time you'll go inside and fight monsters. A single student against a single monster, your goal is to survive for a minute. Don't worry, even though you might get injured, we can stop the fight and treat fatal injuries within a second." The teacher looked at the students with a smirk, "It'll be painful, so show your best. Any questions?"

As she looked around, she saw Arad lifting his hand. "You're... Aron Kyomu if I remember correctly," She smiled. ^Who can forget you? You're the biggest student I've ever seen...reminds me of that bastard Alcott,^

"It's not a question." Arad stared at her dead in the eyes, "That better not happen. That's all I have to say."

Hearing his words, she could feel a shiver run down her spine.
