After the theoretical exams were completed, the practical exams began for all the students in the academy, except for the top 100 students who were scheduled to take their practical exams later.
The exams were conducted for all the years in the academy.
The news of only the practical exams for the top 100 students at the academy at dawn City made people feel suspicious, although they couldn't quite figure out what was unusual about it.
On the third day, after the theoretical exams had ended, as per the announcement professors departed from to academy to go to 'Roaring Cave'.
many students chose to leave with the professors as they could save on travel and accommodation expenses and feel secure in the company of the professors.
Ken and his group also decided to go with the professors as they felt it was better than going by themselves.
So the students and professors left the academy in Neuron Cruiser (Airship).
The Neuron Cruiser was a massive airship that floated through the sky with graceful ease. Its outer hull was made of a lightweight, yet incredibly strong material that allowed it to withstand the rigors of flying through all kinds of weather conditions.
The ship was powered by a complex system of magical crystals and advanced technology that allowed it to stay aloft for long periods.
Inside the Neuron Cruiser, there were many accommodation services available to passengers. The ship was essentially a floating hotel, with luxurious rooms and suites that offer all the comforts of home. Each room was equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing passengers to stay connected to the outside world even when they are high up in the clouds.
There are also many recreational facilities onboard the Neuron Cruiser.
Despite its impressive size and advanced technology, the Neuron Cruiser was also environmentally friendly. It ran on clean energy, and its waste management systems were state-of-the-art, ensuring that it left no trace behind as it floated through the sky.
Even if it was past midnight, most of the students were awake.
In one of the rooms, Ken and his group were chatting together.
As they chatted excitedly in their room, the Neuron Cruiser continued to glide smoothly through the sky. The ship's advanced navigation system ensured that it stayed on course, even as it encountered turbulent winds and unexpected weather patterns.
As Ken looked out of the window, the students could see the vast expanse of the starry sky stretching out before him. The clouds rolled by in fluffy waves.
"Looks beautiful, right?" Eva said in a charming voice. She was also watching the night scenery.
Hearing this Ken came out of his thoughts and nodded his head.
"Hey, you two. We are going for the practical exam, not for a picnic. So come here." Simon sternly said.
Hearing this, Eva chuckled while Ken shrugged his shoulders and came near the group.
All of them sat beside the round table.
"What if it's the sound of some huge monster?" Daphne said in low voice.
Hearing this, everyone stared at her and laughed.
"There is no way, something like that happens. Otherwise, the academy won't take us there." Noah reasoned while laughing.
"Still we should be cautious. There may be some danger in the cave." Ben warned in a serious tone.
"Yeah." Ken also agreed.
"By the way, Ken. Did you get any information about that mysterious bigshot?" James asked while whispering to Ken.
"No, however many people came to ask me this," Ken said with a troubled look. After that auction, many people came to ask him about that mysterious bigshot.
Somehow even photos of when Ken and that mysterious bigshot shook hands got posted in the academy forum.
Ken was truly troubled by this.
However, he didn't know that trouble was still finding his way.
After that, they started discussing different strategies, team formation, and survival information.
As they talked, sun rays started coming from the window. So everyone returned to their team to prepare for the practical exam.
As the ship approached the dungeon where their practical exam would be held, the students gathered their gear and prepared for their descent. They knew that the dungeon was notorious for being treacherous and filled with all manner of magical creatures and traps, but they were determined to pass their exam with flying colors.
Soon their practical exam was going to start.

"Hey, system. Suppose someone important in the plot died unexpectedly. What would happen?" Rain asked.
[Nothing would happen to you.]
"Is that so?" Rain tilted his head.
He started thinking about something else then.
"What if I save them indirectly?" Rain again asked.
[Still, nothing would happen to you.]
"Hmm. What if I steal the chance of the protagonist?" This time, Rain asked with a mischievous smile.
[Host. As I said, nothing would happen to you.]
Hearing this, Rain smirked.
