Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Hero Academy.

One night passed as Soma and Hina now stood in front of a towering wall that stood tall around ten meters height, creating a massive hexagon wall that was built on top of the vast mainland in the Ark.

They stood on a straight, wide road connected to the enormous gate of the prestigious Hero Academy. The place to nurtured a talented seed that came from across the land, gathered around and filtered through the education system they had.

The Hero Academy was like a fortress itself, with its towering wall, which was built using an enhanced material that could withstand a Rank-S monster attack, and vast land that could accommodate a city. Soma couldn't close his slackened jaw, for it was the first time he had seen that massive school in his life.

"Hina, Soma, do your best".

"Dad, Mom, I will. Let's go, Soma".

"I will do my best".

Hina, who finished saying her goodbye, walked ahead before Soma followed beside her, matching her walking pace. The two of them walked leisurely while capturing the sight before them. On each side of the road, there are many students with different uniforms walking on the same road with the same purpose in mind.

Soma wears his brown blazer uniform from middle school with a white shirt inside, brown long pants, and black shoes. Hina wears a white sailor uniform from her middle school day, which she attended a private school. She wears a white skirt and knee-socks and a pair of brown shoes.

They mixed with other students from all over the world. Soma cast his gaze around, observing each and every one of the students who walked with him. He swept his gaze sideways before finding one distinctive figure of a woman with silver hair who walked alone with a straight posture but had a blank, expressionless face, wearing a white shirt with a red tie on her collar.

She wears a white skirt with black stocking that cover her thigh and a pair of black shoes, on this crowded road.

He knew who she was, but he hadn't not any intention to involved himself in trying to get along with her yet. Then he continued his observation and managed to find A slender figure of a handsome blonde boy walking while being looked with passionate eyes by dozens of women.

An attractive, long black-haired boy with a stiff face walked in imposingly, with knitted brows as he create a barrier to set aside stranger, invoking fear in others, and last is a petite woman with a big-breasted figure walked in enthusiasm with a blossoming smile on her face.

As he saw those people, his mind felt a bit overwhelmed as the people he saw earlier were the characters inside the Chronicles Saga. "They are here. They real…". Unconsciously, Soma lifted the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong, Soma?".

Hina, who noticed Soma's grinning face, asked beside him while leaning her body closer.

"..Nothing, I am just excited about what kind of school life I will experience here". Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hee, I didn't know you had that thought in you".

"What do you mean by that?".

{Attention to all the candidates who will take the academy entrance examination. You may go to the Auditorium on the west side of the academy. I repeat..}

A deafening, deep and bold voice from an male, reverberated in the atmosphere. It was not carried by modern technology. Instead, Magic was used as a means of amplification to deliver the sound to the atmosphere. The voice was so loud that some of the participants closed their ears because the intensity of the voice shook them.

The voice also conjured with a bit of imposing order to frighten those with weak mentalities.

Soma remembered how well the academy treated their students. The academy was the place to nurture a great seed with a rather strict military style in particular classes, but the academy also gave the students a lot of freedom in choosing their path to take.

"That is the call. Let's go hina".

Upon the announcement, that still reverberates in the air. Every student who managed to stand on their feet continued their walk and passed the tall main gate, which opened to welcome the candidates of new students in the academy.

"Candidates this way".

A male student wearing black blazers, a white shirt inside, and long black pants below, along with his companion, began to greet and guide all candidates through the broad school. They walk harmoniously like a duckling who follows its mother toward the west side of the academy.

"We are here".

After walking around for a minutes, Soma can see a huge building painted in white. The building was built on top of hard concrete and had a huge twin door that was opened to welcome the candidates inside to start the examination.

There are no teachers and no seniors who guide them anymore. From this point onward, all of the candidates just shoved inside the building and let themselves find their respective seats freely.

As Soma entered the building, he was greeted by the expansive interior room with a white marble floor and high ceilings. The air was filled with a sort of anticipation and chatter that occurred as they awaited the academy to start the examination.

There are rows of cushioned seats arranged in a sweeping arc facing the stage. In the innermost part of the room. There is a stage for the teacher in the academy to give them greetings. On the stage stands a huge whiteboard and a digital monitor that hangs behind it with its massive monitor.

Soma looked toward his surrounding seat, which still had some room and managed to secure two empty seats.

"Hina this way".

Hina followed his footsteps before they stood before the empty seat. On their respective seats and tables, Soma could see a number test that was plastered on the tables that stretched to the side and also a piece of a brown envelope that contains the test that the Academy had prepared.

"125, Hina?".

"126".

HIna also noticed the number on her seat and then informed Soma of her number. Both of them took their seats respectively, but the candidate that will take the test seems not showing any to end. It kept flooding the building until the seat in the room was almost occupied to the brim.

As if waiting for the moment, the door from the building that welcomed the candidate to enter began to creak slowly closed, grabbing so much attention from the newborn toddler.

The door was shut tightly, not letting a single candidate enter or leave the place. The chatter inside the room was stopped, and the wide room turned eerily quiet, making everyone who sat upon the seat gushing a bucket of cold sweat. The lively atmosphere turns one eighty upon the door shut.

The candidates who felt the tension in the air began to have a hard time breathing as their hearts throbbed in anticipation, excitement, and anxiety, and filled each and every candidate's mind.

Soma lost his sight for a moment as the room turned dark, giving them a sense of crisis in their heart and managing to disturb their mind from the exams in front of them.

"Soma".

Hina also seems affected by it. Soma, who has a good grasp on the darkness, albeit a little, managed to grab her hand and squeeze it tight.

"Calm yourself, this is just a distraction".

"...Okay".

The warmth that came from their linked hands spread to her heart and melted the sense of crisis that plagued her heart.

The room brightened as the candidates breathed a sigh of relief, but the academy still didn't stop until that.

"Welcome, everyone, and let the first exam begin!".
